Rationale and Design of the Phase III KEYLYNK-012 Study of Pembrolizumab and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Pembrolizumab With or Without Olaparib for Stage III Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a standard therapy for patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Durvalumab is an approved treatment option following concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the absence of disease progression. The multicenter, phase III, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled, double-blind KEYLYNK-012 study evaluates whether initiation of immunotherapy with pembrolizumab concurrently with chemoradiotherapy, followed by post-chemoradiotherapy pembrolizumab with or without olaparib improves outcomes for participants with stage III NSCLC. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04380636) METHODS: Eligible participants are aged ≥18 years with previously untreated, pathologically confirmed, stages IIIA-C, squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC not suitable for surgery with curative intent. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to platinum-doublet chemotherapy plus radiotherapy with pembrolizumab (Groups A and B) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone (Group C) for 3 cycles. In the absence of disease progression, participants will receive pembrolizumab plus olaparib placebo (Group A), pembrolizumab plus olaparib (Group B), or durvalumab monotherapy (Group C). Dual primary endpoints are progression-free survival per RECIST version 1.1 by independent central review and overall survival.

Results

Enrollment began on July 6, 2020, and is ongoing at approximately 190 sites.

Conclusion

KEYLYNK-012 will provide important information on the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and subsequent pembrolizumab with or without olaparib in participants with unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundConcurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (CCRT-AC) is currently recommended as the standard treatment for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (NAC-CCRT) is an alternative strategy for decreasing tumor size and controlling micrometastases before main treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare survival outcomes between LA-NPC patients treated with CCRT-AC and those treated with NAC-CCRT.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included consecutive histologically confirmed LA-NPC patients that were treated with NAC-CCRT or CCRT-AC at Siriraj Hospital during the March 2010 to October 2014 study period. CCRT in both protocols consisted of 3-week cycles of cisplatin 100 mg/m2 with concurrent radiotherapy. Either NAC or AC consisted of 3-week cycles of cisplatin on day 1 and fluorouracil/leucovorin on days 1-4 for a maximum three cycles. The primary endpoint was 5-year overall survival (OS). Flexible parametric survival analysis was used, because the proportional hazards assumption of Cox regression was violated.ResultsOf the 266 LA-NPC patients that received treatment during the study period, 79 received NAC-CCRT and 187 received CCRT-AC. Median follow-up was 37 months. Significantly more patients with advanced clinical stage (stage IVA-IVB) received NAC-CCRT (86% in NAC-CCRT vs. 29% in CCRT-AC; p < 0.001). Compared to CCRT-AC in crude analysis, 3-year and 5-year OS of NAC-CCRT were 72% vs. 86% and 62% vs. 75% respectively (p = 0.059). Interestingly, the 3-year and 5-year post-estimation adjusted OS was 84% and 74% for NAC-CCRT and 81% and 70% for CCRT-AC, respectively (HR: 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45-1.56; p = 0.571). Also, adjusted analysis of distant-metastasis survival, NAC-CCRT showed HR was 0.79 (95% CI:0.37-1.72, p = 0.557). Conversely, adjusted analysis of locoregional relapse (LLR)-free survival revealed NAC-CCRT to have a significantly higher risk of LRR (HR: 2.18, 95% CI: 0.98-4.87; p = 0.057).ConclusionsThe results suggested that prognosis in the NAC-CCRT treated patients was not superior to that of the CCRT-AC treated individuals. In patients that receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy, locoregional relapse should be of concern. High-risk distant metastasis patients (N3 stage) that could achieve survival advantage from NAC-CCRT is an interesting and important topic for further study.

Project description:BackgroundInvestigating dynamic changes in blood-parameters and weight in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving durvalumab maintenance therapy after chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). Laboratory outcomes were determined based on the number of durvalumab administrations received.MethodsTwenty-two patients completed platinum-based cCRT followed by maintenance treatment with durvalumab. Different parameters such as hemoglobin (Hb), leukocytes, Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), body weight and albumin were analyzed before cCRT, after cCRT, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after starting durvalumab maintenance.ResultsSixteen (72.7%) patients were male; twelve (54.5%) and fifteen (68.2%) patients had non-squamous histology and Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stage IIIB-C disease, respectively. Median follow-up time was 24.4 months; 12- and 18-months- progression-free and overall-survival rates were 55.0% and 45.0 as well as 90.2 and 85.0%, respectively. During maintenance treatment Hb increased by 1.93 mg/dl (17.53%) after 9 months (p < 0.001) and 2.02 mg/dl (18.46%) after 12 months compared to the start of durvalumab (p < 0.001). LDH decreased by 29.86 U/l (- 11.74%) after 3 months (p = 0.022). Receipt of at least 12 cycles of durvalumab was beneficial in terms of Hb-recovery (Hb 6 months: 12.64 vs. 10.86 [mg/dl]; Hb 9 months: 13.33 vs 11.74 [mg/dl]; (p = 0.03)). Median weight change [kilogram (kg)] was + 6.06% (range: - 8.89 - + 18.75%) after 12 months. The number of durvalumab cycles significantly correlated with total weight gain [kg] (Spearman-Rho-correlation: r = 0.502*).ConclusionIn the investigated cohort, no severe hematologic toxicity occurred by laboratory blood tests within 1 year of durvalumab maintenance therapy after cCRT for unresectable stage III NSCLC. Receiving at least 12 cycles of durvalumab appears to have a significant effect on recovery of hemoglobin levels and body weight.
