Abstract 531TiP
Background
Overexpression of interleukin (IL)-1β has been described in solid tumors, including lung. IL-1β can promote angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness, and induces tumor-associated immunosuppression through myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) accumulation in tumors. Pre-clinical data has shown that IL-1β inhibition reduced tumor growth, by limiting pro-tumorigenic inflammation and polarization of MDSCs into M1 phenotype. Canakinumab is a human monoclonal antibody with high affinity and specificity for IL-1β. Recently, it was found that canakinumab was associated with a significant and dose-dependent reduction in incidence and mortality from lung cancer based on CANTOS study.
Trial design
CANOPY-A (NCT03447769) is a phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of adjuvant canakinumab vs placebo in pts with surgically resected NSCLC. This trial will enroll adult pts, with completely resected (R0) AJCC/UICC v.8 stages II-IIIA and IIIB (T > 5 cm and N2) NSCLC, who have completed standard-of-care adjuvant treatments, including cisplatin-based chemotherapy and mediastinal radiation therapy (if applicable). Prior treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant radiotherapy is not permitted. Approximately 1500 pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive canakinumab (200 mg Q3W, s.c) or placebo (Q3W, s.c.) for 18 cycles or until disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, treatment discontinuation at the discretion of the investigator or pt, death, or loss to follow-up. Randomization will be stratified by AJCC/UICC v.8 stage, tumor histology, and region. In the amended protocol, a sub-study was included to determine the biomarker levels in the blood at pre- and post-surgery, and to establish their association with canakinumab efficacy. The primary objective is disease-free survival (per investigator assessment). Secondary objectives include overall survival (key secondary objective), lung cancer-specific survival, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of canakinumab, and pt-reported outcomes. Enrollment is ongoing.
