  1. Maintenance Chemotherapy in NSCLC Raul E. Storey M.D. PGY 5 Fellowship Program Hematology-Oncology Department James G. Brown Cancer Center University of Louisville

  2. Advanced NSCLC: Maintenance Therapy • For patients without disease progression after first-line treatment, maintenance therapy is an option, but no clear standard yet exists • Goal is to prolong the duration of response and/or stable disease for as long as possible • Thereby enhancing PFS and overall survival • Maintenance may involve • Continuation maintenance (retaining a component of the original regimen) • Switch maintenance (substituting a new agent in the absence of PD)

  3. Advanced NSCLC: Initial Chemotherapy • Standard frontline chemotherapy consists of a platinum doublet selected based on disease histology[1] • Pemetrexed-based regimens preferred for nonsquamous carcinoma[2,3] • Gemcitabine- or taxane-based regimens preferred for squamous carcinoma[1-3] • Pemetrexed and Cb/Tax, Avastin are SOC in nonsquamous • Studies indicate that no additional clinical benefit gained with 6 vs 4 cycles of initial therapy[4] 1.

  22. Management of Treatment-Related Adverse Effects

  23. EGFR TKI Toxicities and Management

  24. Pemetrexed Toxicities and Management • No difference in the incidence of serious toxicities observed in a retrospective analysis of pts who received vitamin B12 on the day of pemetrexed vs 1 wk earlier[1] Socinski MA, et al. J ThoracOncol. 2008;3:1308-1316.

  25. Cost-Effectiveness of Maintenance Therapy • Few formal cost-effective analyses available • Recent economic analyses provide new insights • Pemetrexed as first-line maintenance in advanced nonsquamous NSCLC[1] • First study evaluate cost-effectiveness of maintenance • BR.21: erlotinib in second-line or third-line setting[2] 1.Klein R, et al. J ThoracOncol. 2010;5:1263-1272. 2. Bradbury PA, et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2010;102:298-306.

  26. Cost-Effectiveness of Pemetrexed as First-Line Maintenance in Advanced NSCLC • Data sources: RCTs, Medicare reimbursement rates, retrospective claims database analysis • Pemetrexed may be cost-effective vs observation or other maintenance approaches, according to investigators • Incremental cost per life-yr gained, pemetrexedvs observation • $122,371 for patients with nonsquamous histology only • $205,597 for all patients with advanced NSCLC • Results suggest importance of histology in selecting patients for maintenance therapy with pemetrexed Klein R, et al. J ThoracOncol. 2010;5:1263-1272.

  27. Economic Analysis of Erlotinib in Advanced NSCLC • BR.21: randomized, placebo-controlled trial of erlotinibvs placebo in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC (N = 731) • Use of single-agent erlotinib in patients who had failed first-line or second-line therapy associated with incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $94,638 per life-yr gained • Molecular markers (eg, EGFR gene copy number) may identify more/less cost-effective subgroups Bradbury PA, et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2010;102:298-306.

  28. Maintenance Individualization: Future Directions • Studies needed to distinguish between patients who benefit from maintenance therapy vs those who can receive a treatment break • Response to first-line therapy • Objective response • SD • Clinical characteristics • Age • Gender • Performance status • Tumor burden and symptomatology • Molecular markers (eg, EGFR mutations)
