First-line nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: Results of the NEPTUN study. Cancer Med 2021; 10:8127-8137. [PMID: 34668662 PMCID: PMC8607256 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platinum-based chemotherapy remains a first-line standard of care for approximately 30% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) not harboring a druggable alteration. Favorable efficacy and safety of the nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin (nab-P/C) combination was shown in the pivotal phase 3 trial. However, information on effectiveness of nab-P/C in a real-world setting in Germany is missing. The NEPTUN study prospectively investigated the effectiveness and safety of nab-P/C in patients with advanced NSCLC in a real-world setting. METHODS Patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC received first-line nab-P/C according to clinical routine. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS6). Other endpoints included further effectiveness parameters, safety and quality of life. Data were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS 408 patients were enrolled. PFS6 was 40.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 35.3-46.2); median PFS was 5.2 months (95% CI, 4.5-5.7). overall response rate was 41.5% (95% CI, 36.3-46.8). Median overall survival (OS) was 10.5 months (95% CI, 9.2-11.6). Subgroup analyses revealed median OS for squamous versus non-squamous histology (11.8 months [95% CI, 9.2-13.8] vs. 9.6 months [95% CI, 7.7-11.2]) and age ≥70 versus <70 years (11.7 months [95% CI, 9.4-14.3] vs. 9.6 months [95% CI, 7.5-11.2]). Most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were anemia (26.5%), leukopenia (25.7%), and thrombocytopenia (16.6%). Mostly reported grade 3/4 TEAEs were leukopenia (10.2%), anemia (8.6%), and pneumonia (5.1%). nab-paclitaxel-related deaths as reported by the investigator occurred in 0.8% of patients. CONCLUSION These real-world data support the effectiveness and safety of nab-P/C as first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC independent of tumor histology. The results are comparable with the pivotal phase 3 trial. No new safety signals emerged.

Positive plasma cotinine during platinum-based chemotherapy is associated with poor response rate in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0219080. [PMID: 31260495 PMCID: PMC6602197 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0219080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2018] [Accepted: 06/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are most of the time treated with a first-line cytotoxic chemotherapy. Tobacco use is responsible for 90% of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of smoking continuation during first-line chemotherapy on tumor response in advanced-stage NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients with an advanced-stage NSCLC (IIIb or IV), treated with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in our Department between June 2013 and July 2017 were included. Smoking status was assessed at inclusion by self-report, then at the tumor assessment consultation after 2 months of treatment, by both self-report and plasmatic cotinine measurement. Chemotherapy response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and stage 3-4 toxicity were registered. RESULTS Ninety-seven patients were included: 8 (8%) declared to be non-smokers, 56 (58%) current smokers and 33 (34%) former smokers at diagnosis. At the first tumor evaluation, 24 (25%) self-reported as active smokers and 73 (75%) as non-smokers; overall response rate (ORR) was respectively 38% and 48% (p = 0.373). Fifty-four patients had a plasmatic cotinine evaluation at the first tumor evaluation. Seventeen patients (32%) had a positive cotinine rate (median 108ng/mL, IQR 31-236). Six patients (35%) had positive cotinine rate whereas declaring to be non-smokers at the first tumor evaluation. ORR was 18% in case of positive cotinine rate, and 57% when negative (p = 0.007). Regardless of the method for smoking status evaluation, PFS, OS and grade 3-4 toxicities were similar between smoker and non-smoker patients at the first tumor evaluation. CONCLUSION Smoking continuation during platinum-based chemotherapy, reflected by positive plasma cotinine rate, was associated with a poor ORR.
