2100 - Updated analysis of a phase I trial of afatinib (Afa) and bevacizumab (Bev) in chemo-naïve patients (pts) with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR-mutations: OLCSG1404

Background

In a phase I study, Afa (30 mg/body daily) plus Bev (15 mg/kg every 3 weeks) was well tolerated and had evidence of favorable disease control (Lung Cancer, 2018). We report an updated progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and tolerability analysis.

Methods

At first, pts received Afa at 40 mg/body daily and Bev intravenously at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks (level 0) until progression of disease (PD) or occurrence of unacceptable toxicity and next, pts received Afa at 30 mg/body daily and Bev intravenously at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks (level -1). The primary endpoint was set as rate of dose limiting toxicities. PFS, OS and tolerability of long term treatment were important key secondary end points. The cumulative survival rate will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

Nineteen pts were enrolled (level 0: 5 and level -1: 14). At data cutoff (Oct 1, 2018; median follow-up, 27.4 months), 7 pts continued the treatment, 5 pts discontinued the treatment for progression of the lung cancer and 7 pts discontinued the treatment for toxicities (4 pts) or pts’ wish (3 pts). Median PFS was 23.4 months (95% CI: 17.7 months to not reached). In terms of OS, only two events have happened and median OS was not reached. Adverse events (AEs) happened in all pts. Severe AEs were shown in the table. Among 16 evaluable pts, the best response was PR (88%) and disease control rate was 100%. T790M were detected in two pts (a patient whose Afa was discontinued by progression and a patient after gefitinib whose Afa was discontinued by toxicities). Osimertinib were administered to these two pts.Table:

Conclusions

This is the first report that PFS and OS of Afa plus Bev treatment were monitored for long term in chemo-naïve pts. With prolonged follow-up, first-line Afa plus Bev has very long PFS and OS. This therapy appears promising and we are doing a subsequent randomized trial (Afa plus Bev vs Afa alone, jRCTs061180006).
