PARAMOUNT: Hazard Ratios de SG por subgrupos
40. Ambos subgrupos, CR/PR y SD, se beneficiaron del
tratamiento de mantenimiento con Pemetrexed
La respuesta tumoral a la inducción NO es un factor determinante de la SG
Reck et al. Ann Oncol 23, 2012 (suppl; abstr 1235PD).
CR, respuesta completa
PR, respuesta parcial
SD, enfermedad estable
41. El PS es un factor pronóstico en CPNM avanzado
Mientras que los pacientes con PS 0 sobreviven más tiempo que aquéllos con PS 1,
ambos subgrupos muestran una mayor supervivencia con tratamiento de
mantenimiento con Pemetrexed que con Placebo

• The primary endpoint of superior OS was not met in this trial:
- OS HR 1.00, p = .949
- Median OS 12.6 mo. for Pem+Cb+Bev → Pem+Bev
vs. 13.4 mo. for Pac+Cb+Bev → Bev
- Efficacy reported here was similar to previously published data1
for Pac+Cb+Bev →Bev
• Pem+Cb+Bev → Pem+Bev had superior median PFS compared with
Pac+Cb+Bev → Bev: HR 0.83, p = .012, 6.0 vs. 5.6 mo. respectively
• Prespecified exploratory noncomparative analyses for the maintenance
population who received Pem+Cb+Bev → Pem+Bev vs. Pac+Cb+Bev →
Bev showed OS of 17.7 and 15.7 mo, and PFS of 8.6 and 6.9 mo resp.
• The toxicity profiles differed and both regimens demonstrated tolerability

Editor's Notes
NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer; PS, performance score. So, we now have a second molecular criterion, but you can see the remainder is still histology and clinical, such that the patient would be considered either on a nonsquamous histology base or squamous histology for various chemotherapy combinations, with or without bevacizumab for nonsquamous. Also, there is the new consideration of cetuximab, which although it is not FDA approved in the United States, it is going through that process and is part of the guidelines for therapy.
PD, progressive disease. The next slide shows the scenarios for the maintenance therapy trials that have been done. These considered giving platinum-based doublet chemotherapy plus an additional agent, so it is either cisplatin or carboplatin plus an additional agent. After 4 cycles, they either continued the drug that was given, which we will call continuation maintenance, or in other trials, switched to a different agent, which is switch maintenance.
Analyzing the data by histology, both histologies seem to benefit from erlotinib maintenance in terms of progression-free survival. The hazard ratio for adenocarcinomas was 0.60, and, interestingly, even for squamous cell carcinomas there was a statistically significant benefit with a hazard ratio of 0.76.
POINTBREAK was a superiority study with as primary objective Overall survivalFor OS the assumed HR was 0.80, 676 events were require in 900 patients to yield at least an 80% power to demonstrate superiority of Pem+Cb+Bev followed by Pem+Bev over Pac+Cb+Bev followed by Bev; using a log-rank test with 1-sided type 1 error of .025Secondary objectives included PFS, TTPD, ORR, Safety and patient reported outcomes (FACT-L/Ntx)Prespecified exploratory analyses- OS and PFS for maintenance population- PFS without Grade 4 toxicity (G4 PFS)
The primary endpoint of OS was not metOS in the two study arms was similar: HR 1.00 (0.86, 1.16); P=0.949The median OS for ALIMTA/Carbo/Avastin (ACA) arm was 12.55 months and for the control arm Paclitaxel/Carbo/Avastin (TCA) arm was 13.40 months
The authors’ conclusions on the POINTBREAK data are summarized in the 4 key points on this slideNB - What does this all mean for us @Lilly?Because superiority was not demonstrated – this study will not be submitted to regulatory authoritiesAs a consequence of that, the EU Alimta label will not include Avastin and Carboplatin. So there will be no opportunities for promotional discussions on AlimtaCarbo/AlimtaAvastin combinationsThe impact of all this in EU is considered low from an Avastin perspective (Avastin has 1) limited SOM in EU 2) has a ‘broad’ label, so if drs want to use Alimta+Avastin this is possible. We know from numbers in France that most Avastin is given in combination with Alimta. The main ‘treath’ foreseen is the impact this data might have on AlimtaCarbo use. The impact of this on the Alimta market will have to be seen. The outcome of the PRONOUNCE study – see later slides - will also be important in this perspective.We will have to monitor Roche/Genetech’s strategy with respect to the interpretation and messaging of the POINTBREAK data – at the Roche Symposium @ ESMO BejaminBesse mentioned that ‘Avastin is efficacious with all platinum-based backbone’ and recommended to use the cheapest one
NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer. This hypothesis that treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer should be histology based is related to the observation primarily that there is differential activity of pemetrexed in squamous vs nonsquamous subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer, and that is from 3 studies as shown here.
Adeno, Adenocarcinoma; Adv, Advanced; CDDP/vin, cisplatin/vinorelbine; HR, hazard ratio; NOS, not otherwise specified; NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; SCCA, squamous cell carcinoma; SWOG, Southwest Oncology Group. Now, that being said, what does this mean for other agents? If you look at the next slide, you will see the SWOG database analysis on almost 750 patients treated with taxanes or vincas combined with platinums. You can see there was no difference in any outcome based on histology for those drug classes.
Adeno, adenocarcinoma; OS, overall survival. Similarly, as shown on the next slide, an analysis of studies done in Europe by Dr. Scagliotti showed that in his analysis, histology was also not a predictor of survival for either antimicrotubule- or gemcitabine-based therapy. So, the histology appears to be related primarily to pemetrexed activity.
AC, adenocarcinoma; NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer; SCCA, squamous cell carcinoma; TS, thymidylate synthetase. Shown in the next slide is our own analysis of over 1500 patients for TS levels by gene expression and mRNA expression in squamous cell vs adenocarcinoma. What is shown here, and this confirms the earlier observations, is that squamous cell carcinomas tend to have higher levels of TS compared with adenocarcinoma. However, what is also shown on this slide is that the range of TS expression in individual patient tumors varies tremendously and in fact, some of the very lowest levels of TS are in individual patients with squamous cell carcinoma. My own opinion is that in the future, whether it is TS or another biomarker, that this important drug, pemetrexed, will be given based on a molecular predictive biomarker rather than histology.
OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; PS, performance score; WHO, World Health Organization. We will now look at one of these studies in particular, because it is very instructive. This is the IPASS trial by Dr. Mok, published in the New England Journal of Medicine. This was the clinical characteristic selection. This was done entirely in East Asia. It compared gefitinib with chemotherapy using paclitaxel and carboplatin. All of the patients were East Asian. All of the patients had adenocarcinoma. Ninety-four percent of the patients were never-smokers, and 80% were females. So, it was an ideal population to benefit from an EGFR TKI. They were randomized, and the primary endpoint was progression-free survival.
For patients who are EGFR-mutation positive, there was a significant advantage to treating with erlotinib first-line compared with chemotherapy first-line in terms of progression-free survival. The median progression-free survivals were 9.7 months vs 5.2 months.
Looking at the overall survival—and this is an interim analysis just reported last year—there was no difference between the chemotherapy and erlotinib arms, with a hazard ratio of 0.80. However, this again allowed crossover in all patients.
FDA, US Food and Drug Administration; FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; IHC, immunohistochemistry; NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer. The reason it is worth looking for is demonstrated on this slide. This abnormality is identified by the break-up FISH assay, which is the FDA-approved test, or other tests, which would be still not be considered standard of care at this point, but likely to be effective. You can see on the waterfall plot on the right that crizotinib is extraordinarily effective in these patients, with an approximately 65%–70% resist response rate, and almost all patients having tumor shrinkage. So, there is a cytotoxic effect in these patients.
NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer. So, we have talked already about emerging drivers, mutations, and ALK fusion, which could dictate therapy for patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung. Shown on the right are recent data presented at our World Conference, showing emerging druggable targets in squamous cell carcinoma. There are now both drugs and studies directed against several of these abnormalities, where we are likely to find new therapies that are squamous cell specific in the future.
These mutations are mutually exclusive. Ninety-seven percent of the time there was only 1 mutation per patient. This highlights the fact that these mutations are driver events, and it is quite likely that only 1 driver event is needed to promote and maintain carcinogenesis.
NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer; PS, performance score. So, we now have a second molecular criterion, but you can see the remainder is still histology and clinical, such that the patient would be considered either on a nonsquamous histology base or squamous histology for various chemotherapy combinations, with or without bevacizumab for nonsquamous. Also, there is the new consideration of cetuximab, which although it is not FDA approved in the United States, it is going through that process and is part of the guidelines for therapy.
