Purpose Sorafenib, an oral multikinase inhibitor, has shown preliminary activity in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with advanced NSCLC were treated with erlotinib with or without sorafenib in this multicenter phase II trial. Patients and Methods Key eligibility criteria included the following: stage IIIB or IV NSCLC; one to two prior regimens; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2; and measurable disease. Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to sorafenib (400 mg orally twice a day) plus erlotinib (150 mg orally daily) or placebo plus erlotinib and stratified by squamous/nonsquamous histology and prior bevacizumab. Treatment efficacy, measured by progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR), was compared. Treatment of 168 patients allowed detection of 40% improvement in the historical PFS of 2.2 months with single-agent erlotinib. Results One hundred sixty-eight patients enrolled from February 2008 to February 2009. Clinical characteristics of the two groups were similar. ORRs for sorafenib/erlotinib and placebo/erlotinib were 8% and 11%, respectively (P = .56); disease control rates were 54% and 38%, respectively (P = .056). Median PFS was 3.38 months for sorafenib/erlotinib versus 1.94 months for placebo/erlotinib (hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.60 to 1.22; P = .196). Seventy-two patients consented to analyses of tumor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). In 67 patients with EGFR wild-type (WT) tumors, median PFS was 3.38 months for sorafenib/erlotinib versus 1.77 months for placebo/erlotinib (P = .018); median overall survival (OS) was 8 months for sorafenib/erlotinib versus 4.5 months for placebo/erlotinib (P = .019). An OS advantage for sorafenib/erlotinib was suggested among 43 patients with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) EGFR-negative tumors (P = .064). Both regimens were tolerable, with modest toxicity increase with sorafenib. Conclusion Although there was little difference in ORR or PFS, subset analyses in EGFR WT and EGFR FISH–negative patients suggest a benefit for the combination of erlotinib/sorafenib compared with single-agent erlotinib with respect to PFS and OS.

Phase Ii Studies

17061 Background: Platinum-based doublets are used as treatment for advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but chemotherapy must be tailored to decrease side effects. Oxaliplatin is more potent than cisplatin, requiring fewer DNA adducts to provide equivalent cytotoxicity in vitro studies. Oxaliplatin was active as a single agent and in combination with vinorelbine, paclitaxel, and gemcitabinein phase II studies of patients with NSCLC. A phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin combined with docetaxel for NSCLC. Methods: Patients with stage-IIIB or -IV, chemotherapy-naive NSCLC received docetaxel 70 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, and pegfilgrastim 6 mg every 21 days for up to 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints were progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS), and safety. Results: Twenty-nine patients were treated; 15 (51.7%) were women, 25 (76%) were white, 17 (58.6%) were hispanic, 21 (72.4%) had adenocarcinomas, 24 (83%) had a PS ECOG 1, 93% had stage-IV disease and 28% had brain metastases. There were 10 partial responses in 27 evaluable patients for an ORR of 37% (90% confidence interval [CI], 21.7%–54.7%). Median PFS for 29 treated patients was 4.6 months (95% CI, 2.6–6.5 months); 12-month PFS was 14.8% (95% CI, 3.4%– 34.0%). Median OS was 10.9 months (95% CI, 8.9–16.8 months); 12-month OS was 40% (95% CI, 18.5%–60.8%) and 18-month OS was 16% (95% CI, 1.4%–45.7%). There were no unusual or unexpected adverse events. The most common grade-3 and -4 toxicities were anemia (14% of patients) and hyperglycemia (10%). There were only 2 reports of neutropenia; both were grade 1 or 2. Conclusions: These phase II findings suggest that the combination of oxaliplatin and docetaxel is active and well tolerated, and offers a feasible treatment alternative for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
