MA07.03 - Alectinib (ALC) versus Crizotinib (CRZ) in ALK-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ALK+ NSCLC): Primary Results from Phase III Study (J-ALEX) (ID 5597)
11:12 - 11:18 | Author(s): Y. Takiguchi

- Presentation
Background:
ALK inhibitors are the standard treatment for ALK+ NSCLC and the comparison between 2 ALK inhibitors will be valuable in determining therapeutic strategy for ALK+ NSCLC patients (pts). We conducted the randomized open-label Phase III trial designed to prove the superior PFS of ALC to CRZ in ALK-inhibitor naïve ALK+ NSCLC.
Methods:
ALK+ NSCLC pts were randomized 1:1 either to receive ALC (300 mg b.i.d.) or CRZ (250 mg b.i.d.) and stratified by ECOG PS (0/1 vs 2), treatment line (1[st] vs 2[nd]), and clinical stage (IIIB/IV vs recurrence). Primary endpoint was PFS according to the blinded independent review board. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, objective response rate, and safety. Under an assumption of expected hazard ratio (HR) of 0.643, 164 events were required to have 80% power with 2-sided alpha of 0.05. Three interim analyses (IA) for early stopping due to efficacy were planned after 33%, 50%, and 75% of required PFS events occurred.
Results:
207 pts were enrolled at 41 centers in Japan between November 2013 and August 2015. Independent data monitoring committee recommended the release of study data because the superiority in PFS had been demonstrated for ALC based on second IA. The PFS HR of ALC arm to CRZ arm was 0.34 (99.6826% CI: 0.17-0.70, stratified log-rank p<0.0001). Median PFS was not reached (95% CI: 20.3-Not Reached (NR)) in ALC arm while it was 10.2 months (95%CI: 8.2-12.0) in CRZ arm. ALC demonstrated favorable result of PFS in each sub-group for instance, treatment line (1[st] line: HR = 0.30, ALC: NR vs CRZ: 10.2 months, 2[nd] line: HR = 0.39, ALC: 20.3 months vs CRZ: 8.2 months), brain metastases at baseline (yes: HR = 0.08, ALC: NR vs CRZ: 10.2 months, no: HR = 0.39, ALC: 20.3 moths vs CRZ: 10.0 months) and clinical stage (stage IIIb/IV: HR = 0.31 ALC: 20.3 months vs CRZ: 8.3 months, recurrence: HR = 0.49, ALC: NR vs CRZ: 11.6 months). Grade 3-4 AEs (ALC: 26% vs CRZ: 52%), discontinuation of study drug due to AEs (ALC: 9% vs CRZ: 20%) and dose interruptions due to AEs (ALC: 29% vs CRZ: 74%) occurred with lower rate in the ALC arm. There were no treatment-related deaths in either arm.
Conclusion:
ALC demonstrated prolonged PFS compared with CRZ in all sub-groups with a favorable AE profile representing a potential new standard treatment for 1[st] line ALK+ NSCLC pts.

P2.02-027 - A Randomized Phase II Trial of S-1 plus Cisplatin or Docetaxel plus Cisplatin with Concurrent Thoracic Radiotherapy for Stage III NSCLC: TORG1018 (ID 4164)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Takiguchi
- Abstract
Background:
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the current standard treatment for inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and a clearly superior regimen has not yet been identified. This study was conducted to evaluate cisplatin with S-1 (SP) or docetaxel (DP) with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC.
Methods:
In this open-label, non-comparative phase II trial, patients with inoperable stage IIIA/B NSCLC were randomized (1:1) to SP (S-1 40 mg/m[2] twice a day on days 1-14 and 29-42, and cisplatin 60 mg/m[2] on days 1 and 29) or DP (docetaxel 50 mg/m[2] and cisplatin 60 mg/m[2 ]on days 1 and 29), stratified by institution, gender, histology, and stage. In both arms, concurrent radiotherapy was started on day 1 (total 60 Gy in 30 fractions). After CCRT, patients in each group received two additional cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with the same regimen as that for the CCRT part. The primary endpoint was the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate, and secondary endpoints were OS, progression-free survival (PFS), toxicity profile, dose intensity and objective response rate (ORR).
Results:
Between May 2011 and August 2014, 110 patients from 19 institutions were enrolled. Finally, 106 patients (56 in each arm) were evaluable for efficacy and safety. The patient characteristics were: male/female, 83/23; median age, 65 (range 42-74) yr; performance status 0/1, 59/47; IIIA/IIIB, 59/47. After a median follow-up of 23.1 months, ORR and median PFS were 71.7% (95%CI: 57.7-83.2) and 11.5 months (95%: 9.00-14.1) in the SP arm, and 67.9% (95%CI: 53.7-80.1) and 17.2 months (95%: 9.62-24.0) in the DP arm, respectively. Grade 3-4 leukopenia (34.0%/62.3%) and neutropenia (28.3%/56.6%) were significantly higher in the DP arm than in the SP arm. Incidences of non-hematological toxicity including febrile neutropenia, anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, radiation pneumonitis and esophagitis tended to be high in the DP arm. No treatment-related death occurred.
Conclusion:
At this preliminary stage, it appears that although the DP arm may have more toxic effects than the SP arm, it has a favorable PFS. The OS data will be available soon.

P2.08-007 - Listen Advocate Voice - Web-Survey for the Japanese Model of Lung Cancer Advocacy by Society (ID 5651)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Takiguchi
- Abstract
Background:
In Asian countries, the concept of cancer advocacy has not been sufficiently recognized. In Japan, Lung Cancer Society (JLCS) has led the lung cancer advocacy with a part of the NPO, and adopted the 2014 Kyoto Declaration. To evaluate the awareness and attitude of lung cancer advocacy activity among patients, medical workers, and the general population in Japan, web survey was planned for the perceptions of Kyoto declaration and JLCA (Japanese alliance for lung cancer advocacy) events which were carried out by JLCS in these 2 years.
Methods:
An internet survey using survey monkey was conducted which contained 6 closed-ended (selection one or free answers) and open-ended questions, depending on the JLCA network population in June 2016.
Results:
109 people of responded involving 36% of patients and their family, 25% of MD and medical worker, 19% of pharmaceutical company officials and 16% of news media. Perception of Kyoto declaration was 21% of attendee, 27% of well-known, 13% of partial known and 39% of non-awareness. Also the number of participants to the events of JLCA is, 49% of 0 times, 17% 0f 1-2 times, 24% of 3-4 times and 11% of more than 5 times. The most sympathy events ware voted to 1) lecture by a physician 57%, 2) lecture by survivor and the participants WCLC of cancer patients 46%, 3) information in the facebook and the web site 46% 4) citizen open lecture of lung cancer 39%, 5) Performance by society ambassador 38%, 6) advocacy program in annual meetings 26% and 7) Medical seminars around the country 26%. The proportion of respondents who have a certain reputation in the activities of JLCA was 76%. The requests to JLCA is, 1) is the most participation opportunities for information of new treatment and participation opportunities to clinical trial, followed by 2) wish to participate to all the programs in the Society.
Conclusion:
In Japan, awareness about the advocacy is improved, and it was found that the expect to Society for the diverse needs through the Internet survey.

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)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Takiguchi
- Abstract
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
