Abstract 211P
Background
The ATLAS trial compared axitinib (AXI) vs placebo in patients (pts) with locoregional renal cell carcinoma at risk of recurrence after nephrectomy. ATLAS was stopped due to futility at a pre-planned interim analysis. A subgroup analysis was performed to describe differences between Asian vs Non-Asian pts and different Asian groups by geography in baseline characteristics and safety.
Methods
The exploratory subgroup analysis population included 363 pts randomized to receive AXI and 361 randomized to placebo. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS).
Results
DFS had the largest treatment effect in highest risk pts for Asian and Non-Asian pts: Hazard ratio = 0.731 (Asians) vs. 0.755 (Non-Asians). A similar trend was noted for Fuhrman Grade 3-4. Additional key results from the analysis are presented in the table.
Table: 211P Summary of key findings
Axitinib N = 363 | Placebo N = 361 | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Asian N = 262 | Non- Asian N = 101 | Asian N = 264 | Non- Asian N = 97 | |
Key Pts Characteristics | ||||
Pts in Highest Risk Group, % | 51.9 | 72.3 | 51.5 | 66.0 |
Median time since diagnosis, wk | 8.7 | 10.3 | 8.6 | 10.0 |
Drug Treatment Differences | ||||
Completed 3y Treatment, % | 31.5 | 15.0 | 31.1 | 15.6 |
Median Treatment Duration, mo | 25.3 | 15.6 | 27.0 | 22.9 |
Median Daily Dose, mg | 6.6 | 8.6 | 9.9 | 10.0 |
Pts Safety Experience | ||||
Frequency of Dose Reduction, % | 68.5 | 50.0 | 11.7 | 7.3 |
AE Leading to Dose Reduction, % | 58.8 | 46.0 | 7.6 | 10.4 |
AE Leading to Discontinuation, % | 27.3 | 15.0 | 12.1 | 10.4 |
AE=adverse events Asian pts on AXI had higher frequencies of proteinuria, hypothyroidism, and nasopharyngitis and lower frequencies of fatigue and asthenia compared to Non-Asian pts on AXI. Within major Asian groups, proteinuria, hypothyroidism, nasopharyngitis and hypertension were more common in Japanese > Korean > Chinese pts.
Conclusions
DFS did not vary based on ethnicity. Asian pts had a lower median daily dose, and more frequent dose reduction vs non-Asian pts. More Asian pts had AEs leading to dose reductions of AXI and study withdrawals vs non-Asian pts. There were notable differences in AEs between Asian and Non-Asian pts and between Japanese, Korean and Chinese pts.
