MA 17.07 - Veliparib in Combination with Paclitaxel/Carboplatin (P/C)-Based Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in Patients with Stage III NSCLC (ID 10210)
16:25 - 16:30 | Presenting Author(s): Thomas E. Stinchcombe
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
CRT is a standard for patients with Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Veliparib (V) is a potent, orally bioavailable PARP1/2 inhibitor that can delay DNA repair following chemotherapy or radiation induced damage. A phase 2 study indicated favorable efficacy of V vs placebo when added to P/C in advanced NSCLC (Ramalingam et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2016). Based on these results, a phase 1/2 trial was initiated to study the safety and efficacy of V/P/C-based CRT in the treatment of Stage III NSCLC.
Method:
Patients without prior NSCLC therapy suitable for definitive CRT received V plus C AUC 2 + P 45 mg/m[2] weekly + 60 Gy over 6-9 weeks. V was escalated from 60 mg BID to a maximum planned dose based on prior studies of 240 mg BID via 3+3 design with over-enrollment allowed followed by consolidation therapy of V 120 mg BID + C AUC 6 + P 200 mg/m[2] for up to two 21-day cycles.
Result:
Thirty-nine patients (median age 66; 14 male) have been enrolled to date into dosing cohorts at 60 mg (7), 80 mg (9), 120 mg (7), 200 mg (8), and a maximum planned dose of 240 mg (8). Median tumor volume at screening was 81 cc (16-555 cc). PK of V was dose proportional. CRT or V required dose reduction for 0 or 1 patient, respectively. Four (10%) patients discontinued study during CRT. No DLTs were observed and an MTD has not been identified. The most common any-grade AEs were esophagitis (23), nausea (22), fatigue (20), neutropenia (19), and thrombocytopenia (19). 27 SAEs occurred including 12 SAEs with reasonable attribution to V but outside the DLT window including G3/4 febrile neutropenia (2), G3 dehydration (1), G3 vomiting (1), G3 esophagitis (1), G3 radiation esophagitis (1), G3 esophageal stricture (1), G3 intractable N/V (1), G3 aspiration pneumonia (1), G3 radiation pneumonitis (1), G4 sepsis (1), and G5 sepsis during consolidation (1). Of 29 patients evaluable for tumor assessment, best response was CR (2), PR (22), SD (3), and PD (2).
Conclusion:
V/P/C-based CRT followed by V/P/C consolidation therapy is a tolerable regimen for the treatment of Stage III NSCLC. The RPTD for V during CRT is 240mg BID. A randomized placebo-controlled phase 2 extension of this study is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02412371

MA 18.06 - Clinical Prognostic Model for Older Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 8113)
16:20 - 16:25 | Author(s): Thomas E. Stinchcombe
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
The median age at diagnosis of lung cancer is 70 years. Older patients are often not prescribed standard therapy. Due to multiple competing causes of death, older patients often do not demonstrate a benefit in overall survival (OS). It is important to know which older patients would actually be candidates for aggressive therapy based on their prognosis, and to develop a simple prognostic model that can help clinicians determine individual prognosis.
Method:
Data on patients enrolled on 38 NCI-sponsored cooperative group clinical trials of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 1991 to 2011 were analyzed. Multivariable Cox PH model was built with a stepwise procedure with all potential predictors: age, sex, race, ethnicity (Hispanic or non-Hispanic), performance status, initial stage, BMI, and weight loss in the past 3/6 months. We derived a prognostic score using the estimated Cox PH regression coefficient in the training set. To assess the performance of our prognostic model, we calculated the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 1- and 2-year survival in the testing set.
Result:
The final analysis included 1454 NSCLC patients ≥70 years of age. These patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=962) and a testing set (n=492). The prognostic risk score was calculated as: 3 (if male) + 3 (if PS=1) + 8 (if PS=2) + 11 (if initial stage=IV) + 4 (if weight loss). Patients were classified into three prognostic groups by tertiles: good (0-6), intermediate (7-14) and poor (≥15). The median OS in the three groups in the testing set were: 14.6 months (95% CI, 12.2-18.5); 12.2 months (95% CI, 10.7-14.4) and 7.0 months (95% CI, 5.6-8.9), respectively. Despite its simplicity, the present model had area under the 1-year and 2-year ROCs (0.63 and 0.68, respectively) that were higher than existing models.
Conclusion:
Male gender, poor performance status, distant metastases and weight loss immediately prior to diagnosis predict for poor OS in older patients with advanced NSCLC. This study proposes a simple prognostic model for older adults with advanced NSCLC based on basic clinical characteristics that are part of the routine evaluation process for every patient with NSCLC.

P3.03-031b - Results of a Phase II Study of Stereotactic Radiosurgery Followed by Erlotinib for Patients with EGFR Mutation and Progression in 5 or Fewer Sites (ID 10207)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Thomas E. Stinchcombe
- Abstract
Background:
For patients with metastatic EGFR mutated NSCLC, 1[st] line treatment with EGFR TKIs such as erlotinib result in a median PFS of about 10 months. In patients with a limited number of progressing lesions, local ablation therapy (LAT) of progressive lesions followed by re-initiation of TKI has shown promise in retrospective studies but to date this strategy has not been testing in prospective fashion.
Method:
As part of an IRB approved open label prospective phase II trial, patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC and immediate progression on a TKI in < 5 locations were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to progressing lesions followed by re-initiation of erlotinib. Our primary endpoint was PFS, and we hypothesized that it would be at least 3 months.
Result:
25/40 planned patients were enrolled; data are available on 23 and will be updated prior to the conference to include 25. By local reporting, 14 had exon 19, 5 had exon 21, 1 had compound exon 18 and exon 20, 1 had compound exon 19 and EML4/ALK and 2 were unknown. 65% were female, all were non-Hispanic white, median age 62.5, PS0 65.2%/PS1 34.8%, median Charlson Comorbidity Index 6, and 71.4% were never smokers. Median number of lesions treated was 1 (range 1-3). There were no G3-4 AEs to SRS. Two subjects had grade 3 rash on erlotinib. Median PFS post treatment was 5.8 months (95% CI, 2.5 to 11.3) and median OS was 2.9 years (95% CI 1.1 to 2.9). Serum proteomics showed a Veristrat good signature for all but one subject; this result changed to good following LAT. No signatures turned to poor at progression.
Conclusion:
LAT resulted in a modest extension in the duration of targeted therapy, supporting retrospective data in this population. Accrual to this study has been challenging due to the availability of 3[rd] generation EGFR TKIs and because LAT is often done outside of a clinical trial.

P3.04-003 - Phase II Trial of Atezolizumab Before and After Definitive Chemoradiation for Patients with Unresectable Stage III NSCLC (ID 9662)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Thomas E. Stinchcombe
- Abstract
Background:
More than 40,000 US patients per year present with stage III NSCLC. These patients are of particular interest in that most are not resectable and while they can be treated with curative intent with excellent initial responses, only approximately 25% will be cured by conventional chemoradiotherapy. This, together with the generally better health of this cohort compared to patients with metastatic NSCLC, makes these patients ideal candidates for studies of immunotherapy to increase cure rates. The combination of checkpoint inhibition to counter tumor related immunosuppression along with standard chemoradiotherapy that depletes T-regulatory cells should create immunologic “space” to facilitate clonal expansion of effector T-cells in an environment that fosters improved tumor immunogenicity by blocking PD-L1. Responses to immunotherapy seem to be higher in patients for whom significant cytoreduction can be achieved, such as with radiation of all known disease. Further, both chemotherapy and radiation may expose otherwise hidden antigens that can present additional targets to the reconstituting immune system.
Method:
This phase II single arm Alliance Foundation study (NCT03102242) will evaluate safety and efficacy of atezolizumab before and after definitive chemoradiotherapy. 63 patients with stage III NSCLC, PS 0-1, no active autoimmune disease, adequate cardiopulmonary function and no underlying organ dysfunction will be enrolled at 15 Alliance sites in the US. Treatment consists of 4 cycles of neoadjuvant atezolizumab 1200 mg IV q 21 days before chemoradiotherapy with restaging after cycles 2 and 4. Nonprogressing patients undergo weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel concurrent with 60 Gy thoracic radiotherapy followed by 2 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel consolidation followed by completion of one year of atezolizumab. The primary endpoint of this pilot study is disease control (CR+PR+SD) after neoadjuvant atezolizumab. Secondary endpoints include ORR, PFS and OS, safety and QoL assessed by the EORTC QLQ-30. Translational endpoints seek to define the role of PD-L1 biomarker testing in selecting the population most likely to respond to neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy together with standard chemoradiotherapy and to study the association of biomarkers, including immunologic signatures, with response and survival. Tumor tissue will be assessed at study entry and, where possible, at progression. Plasma and immune cells will be assessed at baseline, post neoadjuvant atezolizumab, post chemoradiotherapy, during adjuvant atezolizumab and at study completion or progression. Analyses may include multipanel immunohistochemistry, gene expression profiling, whole exome and T cell receptor sequencing, cytokine/chemokine analysis, flow cytometry immunophenotyping, and T cell function.
