Abstract 1025P

Background

DOC monotherapy is an optional Japanese standard of care for chemo-naïve elderly patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC. DOC+RAM showed superior survival benefit over DOC in second-line for NSCLC. A Japanese phase II study comparing DOC+RAM and DOC showed febrile neutropenia (FN) incidence of one-third in DOC+RAM. DOC+RAM could be a promising candidate for elderly NSCLC pts, but such high FN incidence is a critical concern. We thus adopted a routine primary prophylactic PEG-G-CSF to reduce FN and maximize the efficacy of DOC+RAM in elderly pts.

Methods

This is a multicenter prospective single arm phase II trial for chemo-naïve elderly pts (aged ≥75) with advanced NSCLC. Intravenous DOC (60 mg/m2, day 1) + RAM (10 mg/kg, day 1) with subcutaneous PEG-G-CSF (3.6 mg, day 2) was administered every 3 weeks until progression. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) (threshold: 20% and expected: 35%).

Results

Between February 2018 and January 2021, 54 pts were enrolled, but this trial was terminated before full enrollment (n=65), because of slow accrual. Median age was 78 (range, 75-86). Forty (74%) adenocarcinoma, 8 (15%) squamous carcinoma, and 6 (11%) others were included. Twenty-one (38.9%) PR, 22 (40.7%) SD, 9 (16.7%) PD, and 2 (3.7%) NE were confirmed, resulting in ORR of 38.9% (90% confidence interval [CI]: 27.7-51.0%) and disease control rate of 79.6%. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 5.2 (95%CI: 4.2-6.9) and 12.7 (95%CI: 10.2-18.9) months, respectively. There were 1 (2%) FN, 2 (4%) bleeding ≥G3, and 1 (2%) treatment-related death. Pneumonitis occurred in 5 (9%) pts (2 G1, 1 G2, 1 G3, and 1 G5). As for adverse events (incidence ≥5%), hematological toxicities ≥G3: 4 (7%) thrombocytopenia; and 3 (6%) neutropenia, while non-hematological toxicities ≥G3: 6 (11%) hyponatremia; 5 (9%) infection; 5 (9%) hypertension; 4 (7%) anorexia; and 3 (6%) oral mucositis were observed.

Conclusions

DOC+RAM with PEG-G-CSF demonstrated efficacy and safety for elderly NSCLC pts. Primary prophylactic PEG-G-CSF highly prevented FN.
