摘要
目的:全球III期RELAY试验证明了ramucirumab (RAM)联合厄洛替尼(ERL)治疗未经治疗的转移性表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)突变的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的疗效。我们介绍了RAM+ERL在日本老年(年龄≥75岁)RELAY患者中的安全性和有效性。方法:将患者按1:1的比例随机分为RAM (10 mg/kg)或安慰剂(PL)两组,每2周静脉注射加口服ERL 150 mg/d。主要终点为无进展生存期(别处报道)。本报告描述了日本老年患者(RAM+ERL, n = 12; PL+ERL, n = 17)的反应率、研究药物暴露、剂量调整、安全性和研究后停药治疗。结果:RAM+ERL组和PL+ERL组的总有效率相似,分别为83.3%和82.4%。RAM和ERL的中位治疗时间分别为6.0和15.4个月。大多数患者进行了RAM和/或ERL剂量调整。不良事件,包括≥3级事件,在两个治疗组中相似,尽管蛋白尿只发生在RAM+ERL组(6例患者,没有≥3级事件)。所有患者在一线研究治疗后均接受后续治疗;随后使用了各种治疗方法。结论:这些结果提示RAM+ERL可能是egfr突变的老年非小细胞肺癌患者的一种合适的一线治疗选择。临床试验注册:www.clinicaltrials.gov标识符:NCT02411448。
RELAY: safety and efficacy of ramucirumab plus erlotinib in elderly Japanese patients with metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
Aim: The global phase III RELAY trial demonstrated the efficacy of ramucirumab (RAM) plus erlotinib (ERL) in patients with untreated metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We present safety and efficacy profiles of RAM+ERL in Japanese elderly (aged ≥ 75 years) patients in RELAY.
Methods: Patients were randomized (1:1) to RAM (10 mg/kg) or placebo (PL) intravenously every 2 weeks plus 150 mg/day ERL orally. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (reported elsewhere). This report describes response rates, study drug exposure, dose adjustments, safety, and post-study treatment discontinuation therapies in Japanese elderly patients (RAM+ERL, n = 12; PL+ERL, n = 17).
Results: Overall response rate was similar in RAM+ERL (83.3%) and PL+ERL (82.4%) arms. Median treatment duration of RAM and ERL was 6.0 and 15.4 months, respectively. Most patients had RAM and/or ERL dose adjustments. Adverse events, including grade ≥ 3 events, were similar in both treatment arms, although proteinuria occurred exclusively in the RAM+ERL arm (six patients; no grade ≥ 3 events). All patients received subsequent therapy after first-line study treatment; various subsequent therapies were used.
Conclusion: These results suggest that RAM+ERL may be a suitable first-line treatment option for elderly patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
