SAKK 17/16 - Lurbinectedin as second or third line palliative chemotherapy in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM): A multicenter, single-arm phase II trial
Background: Available systemic 2nd or 3rd line options for MPM show a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of less than 2 months (mo) and median overall-survival (mOS) of 6-9 mo. Lurbinectedin (PharmaMar) is a novel compound with a dual role of binding to the DNA minor groove and inhibiting cytokine transcription of tumor-associated macrophages. Single MPM pts treated with lurbinectedin in early clinical trials showed encouraging outcome. The aim of current trial was to provide further data on safety and efficacy of lurbinectedin in progressive MPM. Methods: MPM pts (all histologies) not amenable for local treatment and progressing after first-line platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy þ/- immunotherapy (IO) received 2nd or respectively 3rd line lurbinectedin. Lurbinectedin 3.2 mg/m2 every 3 weeks was given i.v. until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint was PFS at 12 weeks (PFS12wks) and would be met if achieved by at least 21 pts (p0 35%; mPFS 2 mo). Secondary endpoints were mPFS, mOS and adverse events (AEs). Results: 6 Swiss and 3 Italian centers recruited 42 pts (33 epithelioid, 4 biphasic, 5 sarcomatoid). 10/42 (23.8%) pts also received prior IO. At cut-off date (31st January 2019) PFS12wks was met by 22/42 pts (52.4%; 95%CI [38.7%; 63.5%]; p ¼ 0.015) for mPFS of 4.1mo (95% CI [2.6; 5.5]) and mOS of 11.9mo (95% CI [9.2; 14.7]). 1 pt had complete, 1 pt partial response and 20 pts stable disease as best response. No significant difference in PFS12wks, mPFS and mOS was observed in epithelioid vs non-epithelioid MPM and prior-IO vs non-prior IO pts. All pts experienced AEs. Grade 3-4 toxicity was seen in 33 pts with most common being leuco-/lymphopenia (60.6%) and fatigue (24.2%). Febrile neutropenia was 9.1%. No pt discontinued treatment due to toxicity. Conclusions: The primary efficacy endpoint was reached with acceptable toxicity. Lurbinectedin showed promising activity compared to historical data. Neither histology nor prior IO seems to affect efficacy of lurbinectedin, but respective pts numbers are small for definitive conclusions. Further evaluation of lurbinectedin in a large randomized trial is warranted. Clinical trial identification: NCT03213301.

Standard treatments have not been established for patients with advanced or metastatic thymic carcinoma previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Several trials reported the efficacy of multi-targeted inhibitors mainly targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) for thymic carcinoma. Lenvatinib is a novel multi-targeted inhibitor of VEGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), RET, c-Kit etc.; it has shown antitumor activity with manageable toxicity profiles in several cancer types. We investigated the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic thymic carcinoma (JMA-IIA00285). Methods: An open-label, single-arm, multi-center phase II trial was conducted in patients with histologically confirmed thymic carcinoma. The eligibility criteria were disease progression after at least one prior platinum-based chemotherapy, ECOG-PS of 0 or 1, measurable lesions, and adequate organ functions. Patients received 24 mg of lenvatinib orally once daily until progression or unacceptable toxicities. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by independent radiological review. As per the SWOG two-stage design, the sample size of 40 had 80% power with one-sided alpha error of 5%; threshold ORR, 10%; and expected ORR, 25%. Results: Between May 2017, and Feb 2018, 42 patients were enrolled from 8 institutions in Japan. The median follow-up period was 15.5 months (IQR 13.1-17.5). The 42 assessable patients had ORR of 38.1% (90%CI, 25.6-52.0), indicating statistically significant improvement in ORR. Of them, 16 had partial response, and 24 achieved stable disease. The most treatment-related adverse events of any grade were hypertension, diarrhea, and hand-foot syndrome, proteinuria, hypothyroidism, and decreased platelet count. Conclusions: The efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic thymic carcinoma was confirmed. These encouraging results suggest that lenvatinib could become one of the standard treatment options in patients with advanced or metastatic thymic carcinoma.
