8066 Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) is the standard treatment for patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC, but the evidence of its efficacy among ECOG PS2 pts is weak, because these pts are usually excluded from clinical trials; concern exists about tolerability and feasibility of standard CT in these pts. No prospective randomized trial has tested the addition of cisplatin to single-agent CT in pts with advanced NSCLC and PS2. Methods: CAPPA-2 was a multicentre, randomized phase III study for first-line treatment of PS2 pts with advanced NSCLC. Patients, aged 18-70, were eligible if they had stage IV or IIIB with malignant pleural effusion or metastatic supraclavicular nodes (TNM VI ed.) and adequate organ function. Patients in standard arm received gemcitabine 1,200 mg/m2 dd1 and 8.Patients in experimental arm received cispaltin 60 mg/m2 d1 plus gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 dd1 and 8. All treatments were repeated q3w, up to 4 cycles, unless disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). To have 80% power of detecting hazard ratio (HR) 0.71, corresponding to an increase in median OS from 4.8 to 6.8 months, 285 deaths were required. Results: The study was stopped in June 2012 after the enrolment of 57 pts, due to the slow accrual and the report of positive results from a similar study. Median OS was 3.0 months with single-agent gemcitabine and 5.9 months with cisplatin + gemcitabine (HR 0.52, 95% CI 0.28-0.98, p=0.039). Combination CT produced longer PFS (median 1.7 vs. 3.3 months, HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.27-0.89, p=0.017) and higher response rate (4% vs. 18%, p=0.19), without substantial increase in toxicity. Conclusions: Addition of cisplatin to single-agent gemcitabine improves survival as first-line treatment of PS2 patients with advanced NSCLC. Clinical trial information: NCT00526643.

TPS8586 Background: Standard first line treatment for unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is platinum-based chemotherapy with pemetrexed. Two recent, single-arm, phase 2 trials (DREAM1 and PrE05052) combining the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab and standard first line cisplatin and pemetrexed (CP) exceeded pre-specified criteria for proceeding to phase 3. DREAM3R aims to determine the effectiveness of adding durvalumab to first line CP chemotherapy in advanced MPM. Methods: Treatment-naïve patients with advanced MPM will be randomised (2:1) to EITHER durvalumab 1500 mg every 3 weeks plus doublet chemotherapy (cisplatin 75 mg/m2 and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2) every 3 weeks for 4-6 cycles, followed by durvalumab 1500 mg every 4 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal; OR doublet chemotherapy alone for 4-6 cycles, followed by observation. The target sample size is 480 patients (320 durvalumab, 160 control) recruited over 27 months, with follow up for an additional 24 months. This provides over 85% power if the true hazard ratio for overall survival is 0.70, with 2-sided alpha of 0.05, assuming a median survival of 15 months in the control group. Key inclusion criteria: MPM of any histological subtype; measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1 modified for mesothelioma (mRECIST 1.1) without prior radiotherapy to these sites; ECOG PS 0-1; and, adequate hematologic, renal, and liver function tests. Key exclusion criteria: prior systemic anticancer treatment for MPM; diagnosis based only on cytology or fine needle aspiration biopsy; contraindication to immunotherapy; and conditions requiring immunosuppressives or corticosteroids. Stratification: Age (18-70 years vs. > 70), sex, histology (epithelioid vs. non-epithelioid), and region (USA vs. ANZ). The primary endpoint is overall survival. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival; objective tumour response (by mRECIST 1.1 and iRECIST); adverse events; health-related quality of life; and healthcare resource use. Tertiary correlative objectives are to explore and validate potential prognostic and/or predictive biomarkers (including features identified in the DREAM and PrE0505 studies, PD-L1 expression, tumour mutation burden, nuanced genomic characteristics, and HLA subtypes) in tissue and serial blood samples. An imaging databank will be assembled for validation of radiological measures of response, and studies of possible radiomic biomarkers in mesothelioma. Clinical trial information: NCT04334759. and ACTRN 12620001199909.
