Concomitant radiochemotherapy (RTCT) is the standard treatment for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, in patients with a peripheral primary tumor, the irradiated volume may include a large portion of normal lung and RT-CT is not possible. This multicenter phase II trial in unresectable stage III NSCLC with peripheral primary tumor evaluated the feasibility of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in peripheral tumor after concomitant radio-chemotherapy (RT-CT). Nineteen patients were included and analyzed (median age, 60.9 years; male, 78%; adenocarcinoma, 74%; median size of peripheral primary tumor, 19 mm). At 6 months, the disease control rate was 79% (15/19). SBRT toxicity was generally mild with one (5%) patient having grade 3 lung toxicity. Recruitment for this study was stopped prior to completion, firstly due to the approval of adjuvant durvalumab after RT-CT, which was not anticipated in the design, and secondly due to the small number of stage III NSCLC patients with a peripheral tumor that was accessible to SBRT. Nevertheless, the combination of RT-CT and SBRT appeared to be feasible and safe.

8511 Background: In the placebo-controlled Phase III PACIFIC trial of patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC whose disease had not progressed after platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT), durvalumab improved overall survival (OS) (stratified hazard ratio [HR] 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.53–0.87; p=0.0025; data cutoff [DCO] Mar 22, 2018) and progression-free survival (PFS) (stratified HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.42–0.65; p<0.0001; DCO Feb 13, 2017) based on the DCOs used for the primary analyses, and the degree of benefit remained consistent in subsequent updates. Durvalumab was associated with a manageable safety profile, and did not detrimentally affect patient-reported outcomes, compared with placebo. These findings established consolidation durvalumab after CRT (the ‘PACIFIC regimen’) as the standard of care in this setting. We report updated, exploratory analyses of OS and PFS, assessed approximately 5 years after the last patient was randomized. Methods: Patients with WHO PS 0/1 (and any tumor PD-L1 status) whose disease did not progress after cCRT (≥2 overlapping cycles) were randomized (2:1) 1–42 days following cCRT (total prescription radiotherapy dose typically 60–66 Gy in 30–33 fractions) to receive 12 months’ durvalumab (10 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks) or placebo, stratified by age (<65 vs ≥65 years), sex, and smoking history (current/former smoker vs never smoked). The primary endpoints were OS and PFS (blinded independent central review; RECIST v1.1) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. HRs and 95% CIs were estimated using stratified log-rank tests in the ITT population. Medians and OS/PFS rates at 60 months were estimated with the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: Overall, 709/713 randomized patients received treatment in either the durvalumab (n/N=473/476) or placebo (n/N=236/237) arms. The last patient had completed study treatment in May 2017. As of Jan 11, 2021 (median follow-up duration of 34.2 months in all patients; range, 0.2–74.7 months), updated OS (stratified HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.59–0.89; median 47.5 vs 29.1 months) and PFS (stratified HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.45–0.68; median 16.9 vs 5.6 months) remained consistent with the results from the primary analyses. The 60-month OS rates were 42.9% and 33.4% with durvalumab and placebo, respectively, and 60-month PFS rates were 33.1% and 19.0%, respectively. Updated treatment effect estimates for patient subgroups will be presented. Conclusions: These updated survival analyses, based on 5-year data from PACIFIC, demonstrate robust and sustained OS plus durable PFS benefit with the PACIFIC regimen. An estimated 42.9% of patients randomized to durvalumab remain alive at 5 years and approximately a third remain both alive and free of disease progression. Clinical trial information: NCT02125461.

TPS8585 Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide highlighting the importance of improving current therapeutic options. In particular, elderly and frail patients are not only underrepresented in clinical trials, but also frequently do not receive standard treatment regimens due to comorbidities. For example, patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC who are unfit for chemotherapy (CHT) do not benefit from the recent seminal therapy algorithm change for this disease, i.e. consolidation therapy with the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) durvalumab after combined radiochemotherapy (RChT). Instead, these patients are treated with radiotherapy only, raising the serious concern of undertreatment. This issue is addressed by the TRADE-hypo clinical trial that investigates a novel therapy option for NSCLC stage III patients not capable of receiving CHT. To this end, thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) is administered together with durvalumab, employing the synergism created by the combination of restoring anti-tumor immune response by the ICI with the induction of immunogenicity by irradiation. The latter effect has been suggested to be further boosted by hypofractionated radiotherapy, which could also be more practicable for the patient. Taken these considerations into account, the TRADE-hypo trial addresses safety and efficacy of durvalumab therapy combined with either conventional or hypofractionated TRT. Methods: The TRADE-hypo trial is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicentric phase II trial. Eligible patients are diagnosed with unresectable stage III NSCLC and not capable of receiving sequential RChT due to high vulnerability as reflected by a poor performance status (ECOG 2 or ECOG1 and CCI≥ 1) and/or high age (≥ 70)]. Two treatment groups are evaluated: Both receive durvalumab (1,5000 mg, Q4W) for up to 12 months. In the CON-group this is combined with conventionally fractionated TRT (30 x 2 Gy), while in the HYPO-group patients are treated with hypofractionated TRT (20 x 2.75 Gy). In the HYPO-arm, a safety stop-and-go lead-in phase precedes full enrollment. Here, patients are closely monitored with regard to toxicity (i.e., pneumonitis grade ≥ 3 within 8 weeks after TRT) in small cohorts of 6. The primary objective of the trial is safety and tolerability. As a primary efficacy endpoint, the objective response rate after 3 months will be evaluated. Further endpoints are additional parameters of safety and efficacy, as well as the comprehensive collection of biomaterials to be analyzed regarding treatment-induced changes and potential novel biomarkers. As of February 10, 2021, 9 patients of planned 88 patients have been enrolled in the TRADE-hypo trial. Clinical trial information: NCT04351256.

PURPOSE: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of practicing medical oncologists in the United States to obtain insight into physician and patient treatment decision making in stage III non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: A convenience sample of 150 oncologists completed a 38-question Web-based survey in January 2019. RESULTS: Surveyed oncologists (82% community based) had an average of 15 years of clinical experience and had treated an average of 20 patients newly diagnosed with stage III NSCLC in the previous 6 months. Oncologists reported presenting 55% of their patients with stage III NSCLC to tumor boards. For patients with new unresectable stage III NSCLC seen in the previous 6 months, concurrent chemoradiation therapy (cCRT) was reported as the initial treatment in an average of 48% of patients. The most frequent reason for delays in starting the initial chosen treatment was insurance preauthorization processes (reported by 65% of oncologists). A total of 55% of all patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC who received cCRT went on to receive consolidation immunotherapy; for patients who received consolidation chemotherapy after cCRT, the rate of immunotherapy was lower (42%). Biomarker test results were given as the reason for oncologists not recommending immunotherapy after cCRT in approximately a quarter of cases. The 112 oncologists with eligible patients who declined immunotherapy reported previous treatment fatigue as the reason in 34% of patients and insurance challenges in 19% of patients. CONCLUSION: Oncologists reported notable deviations from treatment guidelines for stage III NSCLC. Our findings highlight important opportunities to improve decision making and the coordination of care in stage III NSCLC.
