MA 16.04 - Phase II Trial of S-1 Treatment as Palliative-Intent Chemotherapy for Previously Treated Advanced Thymic Carcinoma (ID 8627)
16:00 - 16:05 | Author(s): A. Horiike

- Presentation
Background:
Thymic carcinoma (TC) is a rare cancer with minimal evidence of survival with palliative-intent chemotherapy. Sunitinib and everolimus monotherapies have been proposed as active molecular-targeted approaches based on phase II (Ph II) trials, and S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, has been described in the NCCN guideline as an active cytotoxic agent for refractory TC based on a case series. Therefore, we conducted a Ph II trial to study the result of S-1 treatment in patients with refractory TC.
Method:
In this Ph II study performed at three cancer centers in Tokyo, we aimed to enroll 26 TC patients previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. The patients received S-1 orally twice daily at a dose of 40–60 mg/m2 for 4 weeks, followed by 2 weeks off until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicities. S-1 was used off-label. The primary end-point was determining the objective response rate, and secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicities.
Result:
Twenty-six patients (10 males) were recruited between November 2013 and May 2016. The median age was 63 (27–74) years. Among the 26 patients, 23 had squamous cell carcinoma histology and 10 had an ECOG performance status of 0. Additionally, one patient showed complete response and seven patients showed partial responses, resulting in a 30.8% response rate (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.5–50.0) and a 65.4% disease control rate (95% CI, 46.2–80.6). After a median follow-up of 13.4 months, the median PFS was 4.3 months (95% CI, 2.3–7.6 months) and median OS was 23.4 months (95% CI, 12.8–not reached). Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) of grade ≥3 included neutropenia (12%), skin rash (8%), elevated ALT, decreased WBC count, and fatigue (4%). No treatment-related death was observed. However, treatment was discontinued in three patients (12%) because of AEs.
Conclusion:
S-1 for refractory TC confirmed clinical activity with good tolerability. Clinical trial identification: UMIN000010736

P1.08-006 - Phase I/II Study of Carboplatin, nab-paclitaxel, and Concurrent Radiation Therapy for Patients with Locally Advanced NSCLC. (ID 8356)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): A. Horiike
- Abstract
Background:
A regimen of weekly paclitaxel plus carboplatin (CBDCA) with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy is recognized as standard for patients with unresectable stage III lung cancer. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) is a cremophor-free formulation of paclitaxel to increase solubility and intratumor drug delivery and is effective for patients with advanced NSCLC. The purpose of this study is to determine recommended dose and investigate the efficacy and safety profile of a regimen of nab-PTX plus CBDCA with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy for patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Method:
Patients with unresectable stage IIIA or IIIB NSCLC, good performance status, age between 20 and 74 years, and adequate organ function, a relative volume of normal lung receiving a dose of ≥ 20 Gy (V20) ≤35% were eligible. In a phase I study (standard 3+3 design), weekly nab-PTX plus CBDCA was administered intraveneously for six weeks. Doses of each drug were planned as follows: level 1, 40/2; level 2, 50/2 (nab-PTX [mg/m[2]] / CBDCA [area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) mg/ml/min]). Concurrent thoracic radiotherapy was administered in 2 Gy fractions to a total dose of 60 Gy. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed during concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic radiation and up to 28 days following the end of radiotherapy. After the evaluation of DLT, patients received an additional two cycles of consolidation chemotherapy that consisted of 3-week cycles of nab-PTX (100 mg/m[2] on Days 1, 8 and 15) plus CBDCA (AUC 6 mg/ml/min on Day 1). In a phase II study, we planned to enroll 50 patients treated with recommended dose.
Result:
In a Phase I study, 11 patients were enrolled and received treatment per protocol, with 9 evaluable for efficacy and toxicity. At nab-PTX dose level 1 (40mg/m[2]), none of 3 patients experienced DLT. At nab-PTX dose level 2 (50mg/m[2]), 1 of 6 patients experienced DLT: grade 3 leukopenia requiring a second consecutive skip in the administration of weekly nab-PTX plus CBDCA. The recommended doses (RDs) for the phase II study were nab-paclitaxel 50 mg/m[2] and CBDCA (AUC=2). From October 2015 to November 2016, a total of 52 patients were entered in the phase II portion ( median age, 66 years; age range, 48–74 years; male/female 44/8) .
Conclusion:
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with nab-PTX 50 mg/m[2] and CBDCA AUC 2 was the recommended dose. We will report the latest efficacy and safety profile of the present therapy. Trial registration: UMIN000012719.
