WCLC 2013:Update On SCLCRaffaele CalifanoDepartment of Medical Oncology The Christie and University Hospital of South ManchesterManchester, UKraffaele.califano@christie.nhs.uk
Outline Background Key studies Conclusion
Background Aggressive disease Poor prognosis Targeted agents have all failed so far... No real progress in 20 years
Key Studies First-line treatment: Seckl et al (Abs O21.01) Glisson et al (Abs O21.05) Pre-treated patients: Havel et al (Abs O21.06)
LungSt r Multicentre Phase III Randomised Double Blind Placebo Controlled Trial of Pravastatin added to First Line Standard Chemotherapy in SCLC Michael J Seckl on behalf of the LungStar collaborators
Rationale Statins: Kill SCLC in vitro +in vivo/additive with chemo May prevent cancer Danish study: Longer OS for ca pts on statins HCC: Pravastatin doubles survival
Pravastatin 40 mg OD Previously untreated LS/ ES SCLC, PS 0-3 No statins < 12m (n=846) Platinum/Etoposide plus placebo Platinum/Etoposide plus pravastatin 40 mg OD Placebo R Study Design For 2 years 1:1 Primary endpoint: OS
Statistics • Original sample size: • 1300 patients (90% power, 5% significance level) to detect an increase from 10% to 15% in 2-yr survival with pravastatin • Equivalent to a median survival increase from 9 to 11 months in ES and 15 to 19 months in LS • Revised sample size: • Reduced to 80% power, 5% significance level • 842 patients with 792 events corresponds to detecting a HR of 0.82
Conclusion/Comments Pravastatin Ineffective Sub-group analyses / Translational studies? A lot of patients/money wasted!
A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Ganitumab or Rilotumumab with Platinum-Based Chemotherapy as First-Line Treatment for Extensive-Stage SCLC • B. Glisson, et al
Rationale IGF1-R Inhibition sensitizes cell lines to etoposide and carboplatin High levels correlate with short survival MET Expressed and functional in SCLC Mutant in a subset of SCLC cell lines and tumor samples Ganitumab and rilotumumab Fully human mAbs targeting IGF1-R and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor
Rilotumumab Ganitumab Previously untreated ES SCLC, PS 0-1 No thrombosis No diabetes (n=185) Platinum/Etoposide plus placebo Platinum/Etoposide plus Ganitumumab Platinum/Etoposide plus Rilotumumab Placebo R Study Design Until PD 1:1:1 Primary endpoint: OS
Overall Survival Progression Free Survival
Biomarker analysis Only available for IGF axis (Serum) Low IGFBP-2 levels associated with increased response (but no OS) on ganitumab arm Tumor biomarkers pending
Conclusion/Comments No improvement in ORR, PFS, or OS No pre-clinical data for activity in SCLC Experimental agents only active in a targeted population?
MLN8237 (ALISERTIB), An Investigational Selective Aurora A Kinase (AAK) Inhibitor, In patients With Relapsed/Refractory SCLC: PHASE 2 RESULTS Havel et al
Rationale Key mitotic regulator AAK is amplified or overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors Inhibition of AAK results in: Chromosome misalignment and instability Abnormal spindle formation Reduction in astral microtubule length/stability Small molecule inhibitor of AAK with single-agent antitumor activity Preclinical data support combination with taxanes, rituximab and other agents untreated Control treated treated treated α−tubulin, DNA, Centrosomes
Gastric N=45 SCLC N=45 H&N N=45 Breast N=45 NSCLC N=45 RP2D: MLN8237 50 mg BID for 7 days (21-day cycles) Study Design ES SCLC ECOG PS 0–1 ≤2 prior lines No symptomatic brain mets RP2D determined duringphase 1 portion of study Treatment for 24 months, or until PD or unacceptable toxicity Primary endpoint: ORR
Demographics *Based on safety population (n=60) Data as of April 2013
Previous Treatment Data as of April 2013
Efficacy and Safety Data as of September 2013
Biomarker analysis 53 tumor tissues available (6 responders, 2 SCLC) Candidate biomarkers: amplification of Myc family genes and Aurora A, Ki-67) Whole exome sequencing
Patient Patient Whole exome sequencing: Preliminary analysis Mutational landscape of SCLC Highly mutated NR R Gene Mutated genes found in responders Among 527 frequently mutated genes reported in SCLC, 122 genes found to be mutated in at least 1/6 patients Fisher’s exact test identified 8 mutated genes associated with responders NR R Gene
Conclusion/Comments Manageable safety profile Activity similar to active agents in patients with relapsed SCLC RPh2 study: Paclitaxel +/-MLN8237 to start soon
Take Home message No practice changing data Need better understanding of molecular biology Need tissue and possibly serum/plasma to be mandatory in trials
