Phase Iii Study

Purpose A phase III study comparing eribulin with dacarbazine in patients with advanced liposarcoma (LPS) or leiomyosarcoma showed a significant improvement in overall survival (OS) for the eribulin arm, with a manageable toxicity profile. We now report the histology-specific subgroup analysis of the efficacy and safety of eribulin compared with dacarbazine in patients with LPS, an independently randomized stratified subgroup of this phase III trial. Methods Patients ≥ 18 years with advanced or metastatic dedifferentiated, myxoid/round cell, or pleomorphic LPS incurable by surgery or radiotherapy were included. Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 2 and two or more prior systemic treatment regimens, including one with anthracycline, were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive eribulin mesylate (1.4 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 8) or dacarbazine (850, 1,000, or 1,200 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1) every 21 days. OS, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety were analyzed. Results In the LPS subgroup, OS was significantly improved: 15.6 versus 8.4 months (hazard ratio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.75; P < .001) with eribulin versus dacarbazine, respectively. Longer OS with eribulin was observed in all LPS histologic subtypes and in all geographic regions evaluated. PFS was also improved with eribulin versus dacarbazine (2.9 v 1.7 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.78; P = .0015). Adverse events were similar between arms. Conclusion In patients with previously treated LPS, eribulin was associated with significantly superior OS and PFS compared with dacarbazine. Eribulin represents an important treatment option for patients with LPS, a sarcoma subtype for which limited effective systemic treatments are available. Further studies are justified to explore the role of eribulin in earlier lines of therapy as well as in combination with other agents.

7549 Background: MONET1 evaluated overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with nonsquamous NSCLC receiving motesanib (an oral VEGFR 1, 2 and 3, PDGFR and Kit inhibitor) plus C/P compared with pts receiving placebo plus C/P. Analysis of the total population (N=1090) showed that motesanib + C/P did not significantly improve OS vs C/P alone (primary endpoint). Here we present results of a subgroup analysis of Asian pts. Methods: Asian pts (Japan, S. Korea, Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore) with stage IIIB/IV or recurrent nonsquamous NSCLC and no prior systemic therapy for advanced NSCLC were analysed. Pts were randomized to up to six 3-wk cycles of C (AUC 6 mg/mL·min) and P (200 mg/m2) with either motesanib 125 mg QD (Arm A) or placebo QD (Arm B) orally continuously. Results: 227 Asian pts (incl. 106 Japanese pts) with nonsquamous NSCLC were randomized (Arm A/B, n=110/117); 198 had adenocarcinoma (n=97/101). Median age was 60 y (range 30–78); 80% had stage IV disease. At the time of analysis, 139 pts had died (118 pts with adenocarcinoma). Pts received a median of 164 days of motesanib vs 125 days of placebo (vs 106 and 126 days in non-Asian pts). Median follow-up was 63 wks. Efficacy results are shown in the table. Motesanib/placebo-related AEs were seen in 94/74% of pts respectively; Gr ≥3 related AEs in 48/22%. Most common emergent AEs were (Arm A/B) alopecia (78/76%), diarrhea (63/33%), and nausea (55/43%); gallbladder disorders (Gr 1–2) were seen in 9/2% of pts. Gr ≥3 AEs more frequent in Arm A vs B included neutropenia (36/22%) and hypertension (13/3%). Emergent Gr 5 events were seen in (Arm A/B) 5/4% vs 16/11% in non-Asian pts. Conclusions: In contrast to non-Asian pts, in the subgroup of Asian pts with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC, motesanib plus C/P treatment was associated with increased OS, PFS, and objective response rates (ORR) compared with C/P alone, with no excess of treatment-related mortality.

8045 Background: East Asian ethnicity is a recognized favorable prognostic factor in the treatment of NSCLC in trials with either chemotherapy or EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In a global phase III study (Scagliotti JCO 2008), superior efficacy of PC was shown for pts with nonsquamous NSCLC, while Asian ethnicity was prognostic in the overall population. The purpose of this analysis is to describe the patient and disease characteristics of the East Asian pts enrolled in this study and assess efficacy according to histology and smoking history. Methods: This retrospective analysis of a large phase III study included only patients enrolled from Korea and Taiwan. For survival and progression-free survival (PFS), Cox-adjusted analyses were used to estimate the hazard ratio and 95% CI, while medians were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Results for PFS and response rate showed trends similar to overall survival in East Asian pts, favoring PC therapy in nonsquamous pts. The use of post-discontinuation targeted therapies such as EGFR-TKIs was similar between treatment arms in the overall population and in nonsquamous pts. In East Asian pts, EGFR-TKI use was slightly higher in the GC arm, in both the overall population and in nonsquamous pts. In a further subgroup analysis defined by smoking status, East Asian nonsquamous pts treated with PC had longer survival (not statistically significant). Conclusions: Pt and disease characteristics between the East Asian subgroup and the overall population were similar, with notable differences in the percentage of pts with no smoking history and the greater use of EGFR-TKIs as post-discontinuation therapy. This analysis shows the improved efficacy outcomes for East Asian nonsquamous pts treated with PC is consistent with the previously observed treatment effect of PC on nonsquamous NSCLC.

379 Background: We report an exploratory, post hoc subgroup analysis in pts with BPI and BAU data receiving nal-IRI+5-FU/LV, nal-IRI or 5-FU/LV in NAPOLI-1 (NCT01494506). In this pivotal trial, nal-IRI+5-FU/LV improved median OS (mOS) vs. 5-FU/LV (6.1 vs. 4.2 mo [HR=0.67; p=0.012]). Methods: BPI/BAU included an average of 3-7 days pt-recorded data before randomisation. Greater values indicated greater pain for BPI using a 100 mm visual analogue scale. BAU was converted to morphine equivalent mg/day. Results: Of 417 ITT pts, 295 had BPI and 299 had BAU data. Mean and median BPI were 28.6 and 25.0, respectively, and BAU were 33.3 and 8.1 mg/day, respectively. The percentage of pts with KPS ≥ 80 was higher in ≤ mean/≤ median (n=159/148) BPI groups vs. > mean/> median (n=136/147) BPI groups (96-97 vs. 83%) and in ≤mean/≤median (n=207/150) BAU groups vs. > mean/> median (n=92/149) BAU groups (95-97 vs. 82-85%). mOS and median PFS (mPFS) were higher for nal-IRI+5-FU/LV vs 5-FU/LV in all groups, with ≤ mean/≤ median BPI or BAU showing better outcomes vs. > mean/> median BPI or BAU (Table). Conclusions: BPI and BAU appear to have a prognostic effect on outcomes in mPDAC pts in the NAPOLI-1 study. No predictive effect was observed, with nal-IRI+5-FU/LV showing higher mOS vs. 5-FU/LV in all groups. Clinical trial information: NCT01494506. [Table: see text]
