P1.03-027 - Randomized Phase 2 Study Comparing CBDCA+PTX+BEV and CDDP+PEM+BEV in Treatment-Naïve Advanced Non-Sq NSCLC (CLEAR Study) (ID 8490)
09:30 - 09:30 | Presenting Author(s): Shinji Atagi
- Abstract
Background:
The study objective was to compare efficacy and safety of CBDCA+PTX+BEV and CDDP+PEM+BEV in non-squamous (non-Sq) NSCLC patients.
Method:
Treatment-naïve patients aged 20-74 with advanced or recurrent EGFR/ALK-negative non-Sq NSCLC were randomly assigned at 1:2 ratio to either treatment A (4 cycles of CBDCA [AUC 6] + PTX [200mg/m[2]] + BEV [15mg/kg] q3wk, and maintenance therapy with BEV q3wk until progression) or treatment B (4 cycles of CDDP [75mg/m[2]] + PEM [500mg/m[2]] + BEV q3wk, and maintenance therapy with PEM + BEV until progression). The primary endpoint was PFS by central review. The secondary endpoints included OS and safety profile. Target enrollment number was 210.
Result:
A total of 55 sites across Japan enrolled 199 patients: 67/132 (A/B). The median age was 67/66 years, 70%/74% were male, 54%/52% were PS 0, 75%/73% were stage IV and 93%/98% had adenocarcinomas. As of April 14, 2017, patients had completed a median of 7/8 treatment cycles, while 94%/80% had discontinued treatment. The most common ≥G3 adverse events were neutropenia (75%/24%), and hyponatraemia (6%/10%). The most common BEV-related adverse events (≥G1) were hypertension (44%/58%), proteinuria (52%/43%) and epistaxis (26%/14%). Dose reduction was necessary due to an adverse event in 31%/22% patients. Treatment-related death (pulmonary infection) was reported in 1 patient receiving treatment B.
Conclusion:
CBDCA+PTX+BEV and CDDP+PEM+BEV had different safety profiles. Efficacy results including the primary endpoints will be presented in 2018.

P2.15-004 - Underrepresentation of Elderly Patients with ED-SCLC as Clinical Trial Candidates (JCOG1201/TORG1528) (ID 8837)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Shinji Atagi
- Abstract
Background:
Since December 2013, we initiated a phase II/III trial [Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) 1201/Thoracic Oncology Research Group (TORG) 1528: UMIN000012605] for elderly patients with extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC). Aim of the study is to demonstrate that a carboplatin plus irinotecan regimen is superior to carboplatin plus etoposide in elderly patients with ED-SCLC. However, the patient accrual rate did not satisfactorily match our expectations a year from the time of initiation of our study. To define factors related to low accrual, we searched institutional records and analyzed.
Method:
We collected data of elderly patients with ED-SCLC from each institution and investigated the total number of elderly patients with ED-SCLC, number of patients eligible/ineligible for the study, numbers of patients registered for the study, and the reasons for non-registration of even eligible patients. Doctor-reported questionnaires concerning elderly (≥71 years old) ED-SCLC patients diagnosed in their institutions were sent to chief or coordinate doctors at each institution in December 2014.
Result:
We received a response from 32 (84%) of 38 institutions. Approximately 260 patients were diagnosed as elderly patients with ED-SCLC in the last year. Only 100 patients (38%) were eligible for the JCOG 1201/TORG1528 trial. Reasons for ineligibility primarily included poor performance status (PS) (25%), low organ functions (25%), interstitial pneumonitis (19%) and double cancer (18%). Only 23 patients among the 100 eligible candidates accrued to the study. The primary reasons for non-accrual were delayed approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the individual institution (24%), physician preferences (23%), patient refusal (18%), and registration for other trials (12%).
Conclusion:
Our data demonstrated that 62% of ED-SCLC patients were ineligible for the protocol due to frailty with the most frequent reason being comorbidities such as poor PS and low organ functions. However, inactive institutions need to increase their efforts to register a greater number of eligible patients in addition to obtaining quicker IRB approval of protocol. Based on responses to questionnaires sent out as part of our investigation, in January 2016, the protocol was revised in terms of eligibility criteria to enhance patient accrual. Eligibility criteria for participation of elderly patients with ED-SCLC need to be formulated prudently so that patients are benefitted in routine clinical practice.

P3.04-002 - A Randomized Phase II Study of Carboplatin plus Nab-Paclitaxel with or Without Nintedanib for NSCLC with IPF (J-SONIC): Trial in Progress (ID 9627)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Shinji Atagi
- Abstract
Background:
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease characterized by worsening dyspnea and progressive loss of lung function. Acute exacerbation of IPF is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Several studies have provided evidence of an association between lung cancer and IPF, with a prevalence of lung cancer in IPF patients ranging from 9.8% to 38%. Although the efficacy of nintedanib for IPF has been demonstrated, it has remained unknown whether this agent also reduces the risk of chemotherapy-induced acute exacerbation of IPF. Patients with interstitial pneumonia have been excluded from most prospective clinical trials for NSCLC because of the risk of acute exacerbation, with only two prospective single-arm phase II studies having been reported. In addition, it has been difficult to perform a randomized prospective clinical trial for patients with advanced NSCLC and IPF because of their rarity. The optimal chemotherapy regimen for advanced NSCLC with IPF has thus remained unclear.
Method:
Chemotherapy-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC associated with IPF (enrollment target of n = 170) are randomized at a 1:1 ratio to receive four cycles of carboplatin (AUC 6 on day 1) plus nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m[2] on days 1, 8, and 15) administered every 3 weeks either without (arm A) or with (arm B) nintedanib (150 mg b.i.d., daily), to be followed in arm B by single-agent administration of nintedanib (150 mg b.i.d., daily). The primary end point of the study is time to acute exacerbation of IPF.Figure 1

Conclusion:
J-SONIC is the first randomized controlled study for treatment of NSCLC associated with IPF. The goal of the study is to demonstrate that nintedanib in combination with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel prolongs time to acute exacerbation of IPF compared with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel alone. Study enrollment began in May 2017 and is to continue for 3 years.
