      Background:
      The standard chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC after the failing of second or third line chemotherapy has yet to be established. In these salvage setting patients the acceptable safety and efficacy of solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-P) monotherapy have been previously reported as one possible treatment option (Anticancer Res 2005). Compared with sb-P, nab-paclitaxel(nab-P) yielded a higher mean maximal circulating concentration of free paclitaxel and delivered higher drug concentration to tumors in preclinical xenograft models (Clin. Cancer Res. 2006). Moreover, a large multicenter international phase III study (CA031) of nab-P + carboplatin (C) vs sb-P + C, nab-P + C produced a significantly higher overall response rate (ORR) compared with sb-P + C, and had an acceptable safety profile as a first line chemotherapy (J. Clin. Oncol. 2012) .These results suggest that nab-P monotherapy have possibility to be more efficacious and tolerable compared to sb-P monotherapy. KTOSG trial 1301 has recently revealed weekly nab-P as a second line chemotherapy is associated with acceptable toxicity and a favorable ORR in patients with advanced NSCLC (Lung Cancer 2016). However, there are no reports of nab-P monotherapy after the failing of second or third line chemotherapy. We therefore planned this study aiming to assess the efficacy and safety of nab-P monotherapy for patients in the salvage setting.

      Methods:
      This multicenter single arm phase II study assesses the efficacy of nab-P in pts with PS 0-2 and aged < 75 years with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Pts must have failed two or three prior lines of therapy including at least a platinum- containing chemotherapy. Pts pretreated with sb-P or nab-P, or tumors harboring EGFR mutation or ALK fusion gene are excluded. Pts receive nab-P 80 mg/m2 on days 1,8 and 15 of a 28-days cycle. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression-free survival in an intent-to-treat analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, ORR, disease control rate, efficacy according to prior docetaxel, quality of life, and safety. The study is powered to detect a 1.5-month improvement in median PFS in this investigational arm beyond the 2.0-month median PFS estimated from historical data. Assuming a one-sided 0.10 level of Type I error and 80% power, the sample size was calculated to be 35 pts based on the Brookmeyer-Crowley method. The target sample size is established as 38 pts. As of June 2016, 14 pts were registered and recruitment is ongoing (UMIN000016173).

      P3.02a-005 - The Association between the Percentage of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase(ALK)-Positive Cells and Efficacy of ALK Inhibitor (ID 4621)

      Background:
      The purpose of the study was to explore the association between the percentage of ALK+ cells in fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and the clinical efficacy of ALK inhibitor.

      Methods:
      A total of 73 patients (pts) with ALK rearrangement who were identified the percentages of ALK+ cells in FISH and were treated with ALK inhibitor, were enrolled at three participating institutions. Retrospectively, we evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) by log-rank test and Kaplan–Meier method.

      Results:
      Median % ALK+ cells in FISH was 54% (range 15-100%). Fifty (68.5%) pts used crizotinib (CRZ) and 23 (31.5%) pts used alectinib (ALC) as the first ALK inhibitor. Among 57 pts who were evaluated by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, 10 had no detectable expression of the ALK protein and the percentage of ALK+ cells was all within 15-29%. The PFS of pts with 15-29% ALK+ cells was shorter than that with 30% or more ALK+ cells (CRZ group: 1.4 months [95% CI: 0.2-4.2] in 15-19% ALK+ cells, 3.25 months [0.47-Not Estimated (NE)] in 20-29%, 6.77 months [4.27-12.6] in 30-100%, p < .001. ALC group: 6.4 months [3.03-16.8] in 20-29%, 23.1 months [7.8-NE] in 30-100%, p = 0.547). Moreover, among pts with 15-29% ALK+ cells, median PFS of pts with IHC- was significantly shorter than that with IHC+ (CRZ group: 1.3 vs 5.6 months, p = 0.009. ALC group: 0.87 vs 40.3 months, p = 0.004).

      Conclusion:
      The case in 15-29% ALK+ cells and IHC- could not obtain the benefit of the ALK inhibitor. However, if the case is IHC+, the long PFS could be expected despite the percentage of ALK+ cells in FISH.
