Homologous recombination and DNA repair mutations in patients treated with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Chemotherapy remains a cornerstone treatment in non-small cell lung cancer either in combination with checkpoint inhibitors or as subsequent therapy. Identifying molecular predictors of response allows for optimal treatment selection. We performed genomic analysis on tumor samples of patients treated with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel as part of a phase II trial to evaluate the prognostic and predictive value of mutations in DNA repair pathway in patients treated with this regimen. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Next-generation sequencing libraries were produced using a capture-based targeted panel covering the coding exons of 278 genes on patients treated on clinical trial NCT00729612. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed as part of the clinical outcomes and correlated with mutation analysis. RESULTS:Of 63 patients enrolled, 25 patients had sufficient and acceptable DNA isolated from archival tumor samples for targeted sequencing. The most commonly altered pathways included DNA repair (DR) including Fanconi anemia and homologous recombination, JAK-STAT signaling, IGF-1, mTOR, and MAPK-ERK. Four patients with mutations in homologous recombination mutations had a shorter PFS (hazard ratio [HR]?=?4.54, 95% CI 1.2, 17.1, p?=?0.026) and OS (HR?=?6.3, 95% CI 1.8, 21.3, p?=?0.003). CONCLUSION:In this analysis of patients with predominantly squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer treated with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel in a phase II trial, patients with mutations in homologous recombination pathways had shorter overall and progression-free survival. Validation on additional datasets of patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy combinations is warranted.

Project description:IntroductionDespite improvements in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), certain patient populations remain underrepresented in clinical trials. Many patients have benefited from platinum doublets, including nab-paclitaxel-based regimens, but there are patients with comorbidities who particularly require careful balancing of efficacy and safety. Clinical trial data are limited for patients who are elderly or have renal impairment, diabetes, or impaired performance status.MethodsTo better understand outcomes in these patient populations, we performed a pooled analysis using data from the ABOUND clinical trial program (ABOUND.SQM, ABOUND.PS2, ABOUND.70+) and the key phase III trial of nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin in advanced NSCLC. The populations included in this pooled analysis consisted of elderly patients (≥ 70 years) and patients with renal impairment (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), diabetes, or poor performance status (ECOG PS 2).ResultsMedian progression-free survival (PFS) ranged from 4.1 months in patients with ECOG PS 2 (95% CI, 2.04-5.09 months) to 7.7 months in patients with diabetes (95% CI, 5.88-10.12 months). PFS for elderly patients and patients with renal impairment was 6.9 months each (95% CI, 6.01-7.98 months and 4.47-9.79 months, respectively). Median overall survival (OS) was 18.2 months (95% CI, 10.94-28.22 months), 17.4 months (95% CI, 14.59-20.14 months), and 16.1 months (95% CI, 14.09-18.50 months) in patients with renal impairment, patients with diabetes, and elderly patients, respectively. Patients with ECOG PS 2 exhibited the shortest median OS: 5.6 months (95% CI, 3.98-11.37 months). Overall response rates were 56.9%, 54.6%, 45.9%, and 29.4% in patients with diabetes, elderly patients, patients with renal impairment, and patients with ECOG PS 2, respectively. Most treatment-related adverse events were hematologic. The most common grade 3/4 hematologic adverse events in patients with renal impairment, elderly patients, patients with diabetes, and patients with poor performance status included neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.ConclusionsAlthough survival data in patients with ECOG PS 2 were notably inferior to the other cohorts, our findings are consistent with those previously reported in the population-specific studies of the ABOUND trials and lend additional support for the use of nab-paclitaxel-based regimens in historically understudied and vulnerable populations.

Project description:IntroductionA significant proportion of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) harbor mutations in homologous recombination (HR) repair genes, with some of these mutations associating with increased tumor susceptibility to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy. While mutations in some HR repair genes (e.g., BRCA1/2) have been associated with a more aggressive clinical course, prior studies correlating HR mutational status with treatment response to androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) or taxane-based chemotherapy have yielded conflicting results.MethodsWe conducted a single-center retrospective analysis to assess clinical outcomes to conventional, regulatory-approved therapies in mCRPC patients with somatic (monoallelic and biallelic) and/or germline HR repair mutations compared to patients without alterations as determined by clinical-grade next-generation sequencing assays. The primary endpoint was PSA30/PSA50 response, defined as ≥30%/≥50% prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reduction from baseline. Secondary endpoints of PSA progression-free survival (pPFS) and clinical/radiographic progression-free survival (crPFS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods.ResultsA total of 90 consecutively selected patients were included in this analysis, of which 33 (37%) were identified to have HR repair gene mutations. Age, race, Gleason score, prior surgery, and receipt of prior radiation therapy were comparable between carriers and non-carriers. There was no evidence that PSA30/PSA50 differed by HR gene mutational status. Median pPFS and crPFS ranged 3-14 months across treatment modalities, but there was no evidence either differed by HR gene mutational status (all p>0.05). There was also no difference in outcomes between those with BRCA2 or PALB2 mutations (n = 17) compared to those without HR repair mutations.ConclusionHR gene mutational status was associated with comparable clinical outcomes following treatment with ARSIs or taxane-based chemotherapy. Additional prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Project description:ImportanceChemotherapy is a mainstay treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. However, little is known about the comparative risk of hospitalization associated with commonly used chemotherapy regimens.ObjectiveTo evaluate the real-world association of specific lung cancer chemotherapy regimens with measures of acute hospital care (primary objective) and survival (secondary objective).Design, setting, and participantsRetrospective, propensity-matched, cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare linked data for cancer diagnoses between 2008 and 2013, with follow-up through 2014. Patients were Medicare beneficiaries 66 years of age or older receiving initial chemotherapy for treatment of stage IV, nonsquamous, non-small cell lung cancer. Analyses were performed between September 2017 and April 2018.ExposuresReceipt of chemotherapy with carboplatin-pemetrexed or carboplatin-paclitaxel, with or without concurrent bevacizumab.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was risk of hospitalization within 30 days of chemotherapy initiation. Secondary measures included cumulative 90-day hospitalizations, 90-day mean hospital-free survival time, and overall survival.ResultsOf the 3310 eligible patients, 1823 received carboplatin-pemetrexed, and 1487 received carboplatin-paclitaxel. The median age at diagnosis was 73 years (interquartile range, 69-77 years), 1784 patients (53.9%) were men, and 2909 patients (87.9%) were non-Hispanic white. In total, 2182 patients were included in the propensity-matched analysis. The 30-day hospitalization risk was 20.7% (95% CI, 18.3%-23.1%) among patients receiving carboplatin-pemetrexed vs 26.0% (95% CI, 23.4%-28.6%) among patients receiving carboplatin-paclitaxel (5.3% difference; P?=?.003). The 90-day cumulative hospitalizations did not differ significantly between the 2 treatment groups; however, the 90-day mean hospital-free survival time was improved for patients receiving carboplatin-pemetrexed (68.4 days [95% CI, 66.5-70.4 days] vs 63.6 days [95% CI, 61.6-65.7 days]; P?=?.001). The median survival time was 9.0 months (95% CI, 8.4-9.5 months) with carboplatin-pemetrexed therapy vs 7.6 months (95% CI, 7.0-8.4 months) with carboplatin-paclitaxel therapy (P?=?.005). Stratified analyses showed no association of bevacizumab use with hospitalization risk or survival when combined with either chemotherapy regimen.Conclusions and relevanceThe findings from this study suggest that patients receiving carboplatin-pemetrexed compared with those receiving carboplatin-paclitaxel have a lower 30-day hospitalization risk, a greater 90-day hospital-free survival, and improved overall survival. Information about hospitalization risk may provide valuable context for evaluating real-world cancer treatment outcomes.
