nab-Paclitaxel Plus Durvalumab in Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (ABOUND.2L+).

ABSTRACT: Background: The standard therapy for advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no actionable gene alterations is a platinum-based chemotherapy doublet and immune checkpoint blocker (ICB), either concurrently or sequentially, followed by docetaxel at the time of tumor progression. However, more effective treatments are needed. We evaluated the nab-paclitaxel and durvalumab combination in patients with previously treated advanced stage NSCLC. Methods: Patients with advanced stage NSCLC previously treated with one line of platinum-based doublet with or without an ICB and no activating EGFR mutations or ALK translocations received nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m² (days 1 and 8) plus durvalumab 1,125 mg (day 15) every 21 days. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Key secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Between February 2016 and December 2016, 79 patients were enrolled. The median age was 63 years. Most patients were males (68.4%), had non-squamous histology (69.6%), and had no prior ICB treatment (88.6%). The median PFS was 4.5 months; median OS was 10.1 months. A post hoc analysis of survival by prior ICB treatment revealed a median PFS and OS of 4.4 and 9.9 months, respectively, in ICB-naive patients and 6.9 months and not estimable, respectively, in patients previously treated with ICB. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were asthenia (46.2%) and diarrhea (34.6%); four treatment-related deaths (5.1%) occurred. Conclusions: The nab-paclitaxel and durvalumab combination is feasible and demonstrated antitumor activity without new safety signals. Additional studies using taxanes and ICB in patients with previously treated NSCLC are warranted. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov registration (NCT02250326). EudraCT number: 2014-001105-41.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Limited data exist on potential clinical benefit with anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) retreatment in patients who stop initial therapy for reasons other than disease progression or toxicity and develop disease progression while off treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS:NCT01693562 was a phase I/II study evaluating durvalumab monotherapy in advanced solid tumors. Patients benefiting from treatment were taken off durvalumab at 1?year per protocol and prospectively followed. At disease progression, they were eligible for durvalumab retreatment. Outcomes evaluated during retreatment included best overall response (BOR2), duration of response (DoR2), disease control rate (DCR2), and progression-free survival (PFS2). RESULTS:Of 980 patients enrolled and treated with durvalumab 10?mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W) in the dose-expansion cohorts, 168 completed 1?year of initial durvalumab treatment with confirmed BOR1 of complete response in 20 (11.9%), partial response (PR) in 84 (50%), stable disease (SD) in 52 (31%), and disease progression in 12 (7.1%). All 168 patients stopped treatment and were eligible for retreatment at progression; 70 patients (41.7%) representing 14 primary tumor types were retreated and response evaluable. Confirmed BOR2 was PR in 8 patients (11.4%), SD in 42 (60.0%), disease progression in 16 (22.9%), and unevaluable in 4 (5.7%). Median DoR2 was 16.5 months. DCR2 ?24 weeks (DCR2 24) was 47.1%. PFS2 rate at 12 months was 34.2%, and median PFS2 was 5.9 months. Median overall survival (OS2) was 23.8 months. Response rates, DCR2 24, and median DoR2 were generally greater in patients with high PD-L1 expression than those with low/negative expression. No new safety signals were observed during retreatment. CONCLUSION:Retreatment restored antitumor activity, resulting in high rates of durable disease control with an acceptable safety profile. This evidence supports retreatment of patients who stop anti-PD-L1 therapy for reasons other than progression or toxicity, and supports further investigation.

Project description:BackgroundIn the intent-to-treat (ITT) population of the RAINBOW study, objective response rate (ORR) was 28% and 16% in the ramucirumab and control arms, respectively. To further characterize tumor response, we present details on timing and extent of tumor shrinkage, as well as associations with symptom palliation.Materials and methodsTumor response was assessed with RECIST v1.1, and quality of life (QoL) was assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) v3.0. Prespecified and post hoc analyses were conducted in the ITT population, patients with measurable disease, or responders, and included best overall response (BOR), ORR, disease control rate (DCR), duration of response, time to response (TtR), change in tumor size, and associations of QoL with tumor shrinkage and BOR.ResultsIn both treatment arms, median TtR was 1.5 months. Responses were more durable in the ramucirumab versus control arm (median 4.4 vs. 2.8 months). In patients with measurable disease (78% of ITT), ORR was 36% versus 20%; DCR was 81% versus 61% in the ramucirumab versus control arms. Waterfall plots demonstrated more tumor shrinkage in the ramucirumab versus control arm. Regardless of treatment, tumor response and stable disease were associated with improved or stable QoL, with more tumor shrinkage associated with greater symptom palliation.ConclusionTreatment with ramucirumab plus paclitaxel yielded the highest ORR reported to date for patients with previously treated advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Additional details demonstrate robustness of tumor response results. The extent of tumor shrinkage is directly associated with symptom palliation and should be considered when evaluating patient needs and treatment selection. Clinical trial identification number. NCT01170663.Implications for practiceRamucirumab plus paclitaxel is a recognized standard of care as it improves survival for patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have been previously treated with recommended first-line therapy. These additional data on tumor response demonstrate a positive association between tumor shrinkage and symptom palliation in a patient population that is often symptomatic. These observations included patients with nonmeasurable disease, a group of patients often underrepresented in clinical trials. This knowledge can inform treatment decisions, which align individual patient characteristics and needs with demonstrated benefits.
