#7004: 1st versus 3rd Cycle TRT + Cisplatin-Etoposidein L-SCLC (Park et al) 1st Cycle arm (n=111) E P E P E P E P PCI for patients with PR or CR TRT LD-SCLC Treatment-naïve N=219 EP: Etoposide 100mg/m2 D1-3 Cisplatin 70mg/m2 D1, q3 w TRT: 52.5 Gy/25 fxs (2.1 Gy/fx, once daily) R 1:1 3rd Cycle Delayed arm (n=108) E P E P E P E P TRT • Primary end point: Complete response rate (WHO criteria) • Secondary end point: ORR, OS, PFS, and toxicity (NCI-CTC ver. 2.0) • Enrollment between 2003 and 2010 (7 years) • Median Follow Up is 59.4 months (about 5 years)
Efficacy Comparisons: 1st (initial) vs 3rd (delayed) cycle TRT Favors Cycle 1 but not significantly different
Perspective on this Abstract: Therapy of Limited Stage SCLC • Platinum/Etoposide (PE) + 1st cycle concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) has been standard of care in the U.S. for ~20 years • Regimens adding new systemic agents or substituting agents have generally failed to show sufficient promise to replace PE • Advance: Twice day hyperfractionated RT + PE was proven superior to once daily standard fraction RT (Turrisi et al: NEJM, 1999), but has not been widely adopted in practice • A great deal of attention has already been paid to optimizing • the timing of TRT in L-SCLC. Why Revisit It Now? • In reality, 1st cycle concurrent TRT is not feasible in a substantial subset of patients with L-SCLC • Radiation volume considerations (V20 or other parameters) • Delays in radiation planning in some settings/countries • Need for systemic therapy on an urgent basis in some cases
Meta-Analysis of TRT Timing: Overall Survival 2-3 Year OS Meta-Analysis Favors Early TRT 5 Year OS Pijls-Johannasma et al: Cancer Treat Rev, 2007
Two Ongoing Phase III Trials in L-SCLC: Testing Radiation Dose Schedules Amended to allow Cycle 1 or Cycle 2 TRT Testing Cycle 2 TRT in both arms • Both are focused on TRT Dose Schedule • Neither is investigating timing of TRT
Summary: #7004 Timing of TRT • The results add to literature concluding that earlyTRT is important (but not necessarily cycle 1) in optimizing efficacy of Chemo-Radiation in L-SCLC • Cycle 1 TRT leads to an increase in some toxicities • Other ongoing Phase III trials are investigating alternative TRT dose schedules but not timing or radiation volume issues • New systemic agents for inclusion into chemo-radiation regimens for L-SCLC are needed

Phase III Investigation of “Newer” Chemotherapeutic Agents in E-SCLC from Gandara et al: NCI Early Drug Development Symposium, April 2012
Comparative Efficacy of JCOG 9511 versus SWOG 0124 S0124 did not confirm results of J9511 Efficacy of Irinotecan greater in Japanese patients Toxicity was also greater in Japanese patients Population-related Pharmacogenomics may have influenced results • Lara et al: JCO, 2009
Summary: #7003: AP vs IP in 1st Line Therapy of E-SCLC • Another promising drug in SCLC has failed to pass the Phase III test • Approaches exploiting the initial high sensitivity of SCLC to 1st line DNA-damaging chemotherapy are worth pursuing (ECOG 2511: PARPi ABT888) • Demonstrating new agent activity in the 2nd line setting in platinum-refractory disease may be a logical prerequisite for testing in the 1st line setting

Perspective on this Abstract: 2nd Line Therapy of Extensive SCLC • In 2nd line therapy, a number of chemotherapeutic agents are active in “platinum-sensitive” patients, but the “platinum-refractory” subset fares poorly • Example: Topotecan is primarily active only in “platinum-sensitive” patients • Identifying agents active in the “platinum-refractory” subset is therefore a high priority in clinical research in SCLC • Additional studies evaluating novel targeted agents in SCLC are needed
Investigation of “Targeted Therapies” in Extensive SCLC • Biologic Activity of some Targeted Agents may occur without RECIST response • Manifest as improved DCR (CR/PR + SD), PFS/OS or Biomarker/Imaging effects • “Four Dimensional Model”

Summary: #7005: Topotecan +/-VE0005 • The S0802 trial met the primary endpoint of improved 3-month PFS • RECIST response was low & there was no impact on OS • These data remain hypothesis-generating & require confirmation (Predictive Biomarker development is essential) • How to best combine VE0005 & Chemotherapy remains unclear
