ESMO 2014 Scientific Meeting Report ESMO 2014 Congress Scientific Meeting Report – Lung Cancer Extract 26-30 September 2014 Madrid, Spain Summary The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, held September 26 to 30 in Madrid, Spain, was a record-breaker on nearly all levels. It was resounding success and in a dedicated infographic you can find the congress statistics. A primary emphasis in the scientific programme was placed on precision medicine and how it will change the future treatment landscape in oncology. In addition, a number of scientific presentations were dedicated to cancer immunology and immunotherapy across multiple tumour types. This report is an overview of key scientific presentations made during the congress by leading international investigators. It attempts to represent the diversity and depth of the ESMO 2014 scientific programme, as well as advances in oncology.

All rights reserved worldwide. Lung Cancer Final results of the SAKK 16/00 trial: A randomised phase III trial comparing neoadjuvant chemoradiation to chemotherapy alone in stage IIIA/N2 NSCLC Prof. Miklos Pless of the Kantonsspital Winterthur, Winterthur, Switzerland reported results from the first completed phase III trial that evaluated the role of induction chemoradiotherapy and surgery, in comparison to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone followed by surgery in patients with stage IIIA/N2 NSCLC. Radiotherapy was active; it increased response, complete resection and pCR rates. However, this failed to translate into an improvement of local control, EFS or OS. Notably, surgery after induction treatment was safe, including pneumonectomy. The OS rates of the neoadjuvant regimen in the study are very encouraging, especially for a multicenter setting. One standard option in the treatment of stage IIIA/N2 NSCLC is neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. Swiss researchers investigated in a randomised trial whether the addition of neoadjuvant radiotherapy would improve the outcome. At ESMO 2014, they presented the final results of the study. Patients with pathologically proven, resectable stage IIIA/N2 NSCLC, PS 0-1, and adequate organ function were randomised 1:1 to chemoradiation with 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin/docetaxel) followed by accelerated concomitant boost radiotherapy with 44 Gy in 22 fractions in 3 weeks, or neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone, with subsequent surgery for all patients. The primary endpoint was EFS (from randomisation to either relapse, progression, second tumour or death). In total 232 patients were randomised, the median follow-up was 53 months. Two thirds were men, median age was 60 years. Histology was squamous cell in 33%, and adenocarcinoma in 43%. Response rate to chemoradiotherapy was 61% vs. 44% with chemotherapy. Among all patients 85% underwent surgery, 30-day postoperative mortality was 1%. The rate of complete resection was 91% in chemoradiotherapy patients vs. 81% in chemotherapy patients and the pCR rate was 16% vs. 12%. The median EFS was 13.1 months for the chemoradiotherapy group vs. 11.8 months in the chemotherapy arm (p = 0.665). The median OS in chemoradiotherapy group was 37.1 months, and with chemoherapy 26.2 months (p = 0.938). The local failure rate was 23% in both arms. In the chemotherapy arm, 12 patients were given postoperative radiotherapy for R1 resection, 6 patients received postoperative radiotherapy in violation of the protocol. Patients with a pCR, mediastinal downstaging to ypN0/1 and complete resection had a better outcome. Toxicity of chemotherapy was substantial, especially febrile neutropaenia was common, whereas radiotherapy was well tolerated. Dr Rafal Dziadziuszko of the Medical University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland, who discussed the study results, said that the study hypothesis was that addition of sequential radiotherapy to induction chemotherapy followed by surgery improved event-free survival in potentially resectable stage IIIA/N2 NSCLC. He said that chemotherapy plus one local treatment remains the standard of care. Concurrent chemoradiation is most often used. Chemotherapy/surgery is still a valid option in selected patients (based on MDT, patient preference, comorbidities and surgical risk- assessment).

In this study, treatment with MAGE-A3 cancer immunotherapeutic did not increase DFS compared to placebo in either the overall population or in patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy. The results were presented by Prof. Johann Vansteenkiste of the Respiratory Oncology Unit, University Hospitals Leuven - Campus Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium. Adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard of care for stage II and IIIA NSCLC, and for high risk stage IB

This AR reflects the CHMP opinion on 20 March 2014, which originally recommended to approve this medicine. The recommendation was conditional to the results of the on-going confirmatory study EC-FV-06. Before the marketing authorisation was granted by the EC, the results of this study became available and did not support the initial recommendation. Subsequently, the company decided to withdraw the application and not to pursue any longer the authorisation for marketing this product. The current report does not include the latest results of this study as the withdrawal of the application did not allow for the CHMP to revise its opinion in light of the new data.

  • Esmo – Missed Target Leaves Endocyte Clutching at Straws
    September 28, 2014 Esmo – Missed Target leaves Endocyte clutching at straws Jacob Plieth Followers of Endocyte had pinned their hopes on overall survival data from vintafolide’s phase II Target study providing definitive proof of efficacy. With results presented at the Esmo congress on Saturday, however, defeat has been snatched from the jaws of victory. Even a broad data dredge has barely managed to tease out a subgroup benefit – after one accepts Target’s advantageous statistical design, that is. Endocyte had risen 6% on Thursday in anticipation of the late-breaking Esmo data, but when the markets open again tomorrow investors will almost certainly be left nursing losses. There were already question marks around vintafolide, Endocyte’s lead project. European approval was revoked after the Proceed study in ovarian cancer was halted for futility, prompting Merck & Co, which had paid $120m up front to access vintafolide, to pull out of the deal (Trial miss leaves Endocyte at the mercy of Merck, May 6, 2014). Back in March, progression-free survival (PFS) results from the Target trial, which pitched vintafolide and docetaxel against docetaxel alone in a second-line setting for NSCLC, caused Endocyte to surge, and the company managed to raise $102m from investors. The fate of vintafolide, which comprises vinblastine linked to a compound that targets the folate receptor, thus rested on further analyses of Target – most crucially of patients’ overall survival (OS). In fact, the OS data showed vintafolide scoring a miss. Risk of death was reduced by 12% – though with the upper confidence interval bound at 1.36 – with a p value of 0.2874.

The observed therapeutic benefits of these combinations were specific for folate receptor (FR)-positive tumor models, likely because vintafolide remains associated with tumor cells for multiple M phases of the cell due to its natural high affinity binding to the FR and the slow recycling rate of that receptor. Based on the disclosed preclinical data, a randomized phase 2 trial (PRECEDENT) was conducted with the vintafolide/PLD combination.

These studies utilized years, the non-relapse mortality fixed oral doses of busulfan, of patients receiving IV busulfan which is associated with up to (IV Bu) was only 12 percent at twentyfold variations in plasma one year and 18 percent at five Edward Copelan, MD, (left) levels. Low plasma levels are years, comparable to reports using Chair of the Department of Hematologic associated with graft rejection and allegedly safer reduced intensity Oncology and Blood Disorders leukemia relapse and high levels regimens, and significantly better with toxicity and transplant-related than the TBI group in the study.

Improved methods Survival and leukemia free survival Hematologic Oncology and Blood of administration, including the (57 percent at five years for IV Disorders intravenous route and dose Bu) were significantly higher and adjustment of busulfan based on late relapse significantly less Initial studies demonstrating plasma levels, represent important frequent with IV Bu compared a cure of acute leukemia with advances which result in much to TBI. A supportive prospective allogeneic transplantation less variation in plasma levels cohort study in patients with were conducted by Nobel and less toxicity. Drs.
