      P1.07-048 - Clinical Impact of the Relationship between Post-Progression Survival and Overall Survival in Extensive Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (ID 4303)

      14:30 - 14:30  |  Author(s): S. Fujimoto

      • Abstract

      Background:
      The effects of first-line chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) might be confounded by subsequent therapies in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Therefore, by using individual-level data, we aimed to determine the relationships between progression-free survival (PFS) or post-progression survival (PPS) and OS after first-line chemotherapies in patients with extensive disease SCLC (ED-SCLC) treated with carboplatin plus etoposide.

      Methods:
      Between July 1998 and December 2014, we analyzed 63 cases of patients with ED-SCLC who were treated with carboplatin and etoposide as first-line chemotherapy. The relationships of PFS and PPS with OS were analyzed at the individual level.

      Results:
      Spearman rank correlation analysis and linear regression analysis showed that PPS was strongly correlated with OS (r = 0.90, p < 0.05, R[2 ]= 0.71) and PFS was moderately correlated with OS (r = 0.72, p < 0.05, R[2] = 0.62). Type of relapse (refractory/sensitive) and the number of regimens administered after disease progression after the first-line chemotherapy were both significantly associated with PPS (p < 0.05).

      Conclusion:
      PPS has a stronger relationship with OS than does PFS in ED-SCLC patients who have received first-line chemotherapy. In addition, type of relapse (refractory/sensitive) after first-line treatment and the number of additional regimens after first-line treatment are significant independent prognostic factors for PPS. These results suggest that treatments administered after first-line chemotherapy affect the OS of ED-SCLC patients treated with carboplatin plus etoposide.

      P3.02c-015 - Phase II Trial of S-1/Cisplatin Combined with Bevacizumab for Advanced Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: TCOG LC-1202 (ID 4487)

      Background:
      S-1 plus cisplatin is a standard chemotherapy regimen for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Ann. Oncol. 2015; 26:1401-8). The addition of bevacizumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced non-squamous (non-SQ) NSCLC who received carboplatin plus paclitaxel but failed to show an OS advantage in patients who received cisplatin plus gemcitabine. Few studies of bevacizumab have evaluated quality of life (QOL) in patients with non-SQ NSCLC.

      Methods:
      Chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage IIIB, IV, or recurrent non-SQ NSCLC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0–1, age 20–74 years, and measurable lesions were treated with a 3-week cycle of S-1 40 mg/m[2] twice a day on days 1–14, cisplatin 60 mg/m[2] on day 8, and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg on day 8, for 4–6 cycles. Patients without progressive disease received maintenance bevacizumab 15 mg/kg on day 1 with a 3-week cycle and S-1 40 mg/m[2] twice a day every other day. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), OS, toxicity profile, and QOL.

      Results:
      From June 2013 to January 2015, 39 evaluable patients were enrolled from 8 institutions: 10 women and 29 men; median age 65 (range, 38–74) years; epidermal growth factor receptor positive/anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive: two patients/two patients; performance status 0/1: 22/17; stage IIIB/IV/recurrence: 1/35/3; adeno/large cell/other: 35/1/3. Thirty one patients (80%) completed 4 cycles of induction chemotherapy, and 23 patients (59%) were started on maintenance chemotherapy. Median PFS, OS, and ORR were 7.3 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.9–8.7), 21.4 months (95% CI: 14.7–not reached), and 64%, respectively. The worst hematologic and non-hematologic adverse events were as follows (%): grade 3/4 leukopenia: 13/0; neutropenia: 18/5; thrombocytopenia: 0/0; anemia: 0/0; neutropenic fever: 3/0; and hypertension: 28/0; diarrhea: 3/0. QOL data will be presented at the meeting.

      Conclusion:
      S-1 plus cisplatin in combination with bevacizumab met the primary endpoint in patients with advanced non-SQ NSCLC in the present trial. Additionally, the response rate is anticipated to be high, and the regimen was well tolerated. Clinical trial information: UMIN000009476
