Introduction: Treatment outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are poor due to limited treatment options. Objective: We conducted a multicenter, single-arm phase II study to prospectively assess the efficacy and safety of weekly nab-PTX in patients with advanced NSCLC with failed cytotoxic chemotherapy. Methods: Patients with advanced NSCLC having adequate organ functions with a performance status of 0–1 were enrolled. A 100 mg/m2 dose of nab-paclitaxel was administered on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints were disease control rate (DCR), toxicity profile, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Between September 2013 and May 2016, 35 patients were enrolled. The ORR was 31.4%, and the DCR was 74.3%. The median PFS was 3.6 months, and the median OS was 11.4 months. The most common grade 3 or 4 toxicities included neutropenia (54.3%), leukopenia (42.9%), and anemia (11.4%). Two patients discontinued chemotherapy due to pneumonitis. Conclusions: Nab-PTX may be a later-line chemotherapeutic option for previously treated advanced NSCLC.

PURPOSE Docetaxel (Taxotere, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, Antony, France) and cisplatin are two of the most active single agents used in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A recently reported phase I study of the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin recommended a dose of 75 mg/m2 of both drugs every 3 weeks for subsequent phase II study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients were aged 18 to 75 years with a World Health Organization (WHO) performance status < or = 2 and life expectancy > or = 12 weeks, with metastatic and/or locally advanced NSCLC proven histologically or cytologically. Patients were not permitted to have received prior chemotherapy, extensive radiotherapy, or any radiotherapy to the target lesion and must have had measurable disease. Concurrent treatment with colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) or prophylactic antibiotics was not permitted. Docetaxel (75 mg/m2) in 250 mL 5% dextrose was given intravenously (i.v.) over 1 hour immediately before cisplatin (75 mg/m2) in 500 mL normal saline given i.v. over 1 hour in 3-week cycles. Premedication included ondansetron, dexamethasone, promethazine, and standard hyperhydration with magnesium supplementation. RESULTS A total of 47 patients, two thirds of whom had metastatic disease, were entered onto this phase II study. The majority of patients were male (72%) and of good (WHO 0 to 1) performance status (85%). All 47 patients were assessable for toxicity and 36 were for response. Three patients were ineligible and eight (17%) discontinued treatment because of significant toxicity. In assessable patients, the overall objective response rate was 38.9% (95% confidence limits [CL], 23.1% to 56.5%), 36.1% had stable disease, and 25% progressive disease. On an intention-to-treat analysis, the objective response rate was 29.8%. Median survival was 9.6 months and estimated 1-year survival was 33%. Significant (grade 3/4) toxicities included nausea (26%), hypotension (15%), diarrhea (13%), and dyspnea mainly related to chest infection (13%). One patient experienced National Cancer Institute (NCI) grade 3 neurosensory toxicity after eight cycles. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was common and occurred in 87% of patients, but thrombocytopenia > or = grade 3 was rare (one patient). Significant (grade 3/4) abnormalities of magnesium levels were common (24%). Febrile neutropenia occurred in 13% of patients and neutropenic infection in 11%, contributing to two treatment-related deaths. No neutropenic enterocolitis or severe fluid retention was reported. CONCLUSION Compared with other active regimens used in this setting, the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin in advanced NSCLC is an active regimen with a similar toxicity profile to other combination regimens.

92 Background: Nivolumab (BMS-936558/ONO-4538), a fully human IgG4, PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor antibody, has shown durable clinical activity in several tumor types. Recently, two phase III studies (CheckMate-017 and -057) demonstrated that nivolumab improved overall survival (OS) than docetaxel in second-line of squamous (SQ) and non-squamous (NSQ) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), respectively. Here, we report the results of a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in Korean patients (pts) with previously treated advanced SQ and NSQ NSCLC. Methods: This study requires pts aged ≥ 20 years with ECOG Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1, stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC and at least one prior chemotherapy including platinum containing regimen. Pts received nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV Q2W until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint in this study was the objective response rate (ORR) (RECIST v1.1). Results: Nivolumab was administered to 100 NSCLC pts (SQ: 44, NSQ: 56), male/female: 78 (SQ: 44, NSQ: 34)/22 (SQ: 0, NSQ: 22); PS 0/1: 14 (SQ: 6, NSQ: 8)/86 (SQ: 38, NSQ: 48); aged 29 to 80 [median: 66.5] years (SQ: 40 to 80 [median: 69.5], NSQ: 29 to 77 [median: 63.5]); Stage IIIB/IV/recurrence: 6 (SQ: 5, NSQ: 1)/91 (SQ: 37, NSQ: 54)/3 (SQ: 2, NSQ: 1)). In SQ and NSQ NSCLC, ORR was 15.9% (7/44) and 23.2% (13/56), respectively. Median progression-free survival was 2.6 mo and 5.3 mo, respectively. Complete Response was observed in 2.3% (1/44) and 1.8% (1/56), respectively. Median OS was 12.3 mo and 16.3 mo, respectively. Median follow-up was 8.9 mo and 12.3 mo, respectively. Most common adverse drug reaction (ADR) was decreased appetite 15.9% (7/44), followed by pyrexia 9.1% (4/44) in SQ NSCLC, and decreased appetite 12.5% (7/56), followed by pruritus 10.7% (6/56), fatigue 8.9% (5/56), pyrexia 5.4% (3/56) and nausea 5.4% (3/56) in NSQ NSCLC. Grade 3-4 ADR was observed in 6.8% (3/44) and 10.7% (6/56) of SQ and NSQ NSCLC, respectively. No interstitial lung disease and no grade 5 ADRs were observed in this study. Conclusions: Nivolumab was considered to be effective and used safely in Korean pts with SQ and NSQ NSCLC as well as in non-Korean pts with SQ and NSQ NSCLC. Clinical trial information: NCT02175017.

Salvage chemotherapy (CT) for relapsing or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains disappointing. In vitro experiments showed that valproic acid increases apoptosis of SCLC cell lines exposed to doxorubicin, vindesine and bis(2-chloroethyl)amine. The primary objective of this phase II study was to determine whether epigenetic modulation with valproic acid in addition to a doxorubicin, vindesine and cyclophosphamide (VAC) regimen improves 6-month progression-free survival (PFS).Patients with pathologically proven SCLC refractory to prior platinum derivatives and etoposide were eligible. After central registration, patients received VAC plus daily oral valproic acid.64 patients were registered, of whom six were ineligible. Seven patients did not receive any CT, leaving 51 patients assessable for the primary end-point. The objective response rate was 19.6%. Median PFS was 2.8 months (95% CI 2.5–3.6 months) and 6-month PFS was 6%. Median survival time was 5.9 months (95% CI 4.7–7.5 months). Toxicity was mainly haematological, with 88% and 26% grade 3–4 neutropenia and thrombopenia, respectively.Despite an interesting response rate, the addition of valproic acid to VAC did not translate into adequate PFS in relapsing SCLC or SCLC refractory to platinum–etoposide.
