P2.01-099 - nab-Paclitaxel as Maintenance Therapy in Patients with Squamous Cell NSCLC (ABOUND.sqm) (ID 3122)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): M. Thomas
- Abstract
Background:
Patients with squamous cell (SCC) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may be at risk of poorer outcomes and have fewer treatment options than those with other histologies. Furthermore, no randomized studies have demonstrated the benefit of maintenance therapy in these patients. In a phase III trial, first-line treatment with nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin (nab-P/C) demonstrated a 68% improvement in the overall response rate (ORR; 41% vs 24%; P < 0.001) and a trend toward improved overall survival (OS; median, 10.7 vs 9.5 months; HR 0.890; P = 0.310) compared with solvent-based paclitaxel plus C in a subset of patients with advanced SCC NSCLC (Socinski et al. Ann Oncol. 2013;24:2390-2396). An exploratory analysis of the phase III trial demonstrated that therapy with nab-P/C beyond 4 cycles of first-line treatment was effective in the subset of patients with SCC NSCLC who did not progress (from the time of randomization, median progression-free survival [PFS] and OS were 6.8 and 13.8 months, respectively), and no new safety signals were noted (Socinski et al. IASLC 2013 [abstract 3438]). In the open-label, multicenter phase III ABOUND.sqm trial, the efficacy and safety of nab-P maintenance therapy after nab-P/C induction therapy will be evaluated in patients with advanced SCC NSCLC.
Methods:
During the induction part of the study, approximately 540 patients will be treated with 4 cycles of nab-P 100 mg/m[2] intravenously (IV; 30-minute infusion) on days 1, 8, and 15 plus IV C AUC 6 on day 1 every 21 days. Patients with a complete response (CR), a partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) will be eligible for maintenance. In the maintenance part of the study, approximately 260 patients will be randomized 2:1 to nab-P 100 mg/m[2] on days 1 and 8 every 21 days plus best supportive care (BSC) or BSC alone until disease progression. Patients will be stratified by disease stage (IIIB vs IV), response to induction therapy (CR/PR vs SD), and ECOG performance status at the end of induction (0 vs 1). Key eligibility criteria include histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IIIB/IV SCC NSCLC, no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease, ECOG performance status ≤ 1, adequate organ function, no active brain metastases, and preexisting peripheral neuropathy grade < 2.
