Project description:In the last 20 years, significant strides have been made in our understanding of the biological mechanisms driving disease pathogenesis in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Notably, the development and application of predictive biomarkers as well as refined treatment regimens in the form of chemoimmunotherapy and novel targeted agents have led to substantial improvements in survival. Parallel to these remarkable advancements in modern systemic therapy has been a growing recognition of "oligometastatic disease" as a distinct clinical entity-defined by the presence of a controlled primary tumor and ≤5 sites of metastatic disease amenable to local consolidative therapy (LAT), with surgery or stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR). To date, three randomized studies have provided clinical evidence supporting the use of LAT/SABR in the treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC. In this review, we summarize clinical evidence from these landmark studies and highlight ongoing trials evaluating the use of LAT/SABR in a variety of clinical contexts along the oligometastatic disease spectrum. We discuss important implications and caveats of the available data, including considerations surrounding patient selection and application in routine clinical practice. We conclude by offering potential avenues for further investigation in the oligometastatic disease space.

Project description:BackgroundLocal consolidative therapy (LCT) has emerged as a treatment option in patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing chemotherapy or targeted therapy. However, the current literature lacks evidence as to whether LCT improves survival in NSCLC patients receiving immunotherapy. Our study aimed to assess whether LCT combined with pembrolizumab ± chemotherapy could improve the survival of patients with synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC.MethodsPatients with NSCLC, without EGFR or ALK genetic aberrations, who were treated with first-line pembrolizumab ± chemotherapy, were included in the study. Survival analysis of the LCT and non-LCT groups was compared.ResultsA total of 231 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up time was 15.24 months. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the entire cohort were 12.00 and 23.43 months, respectively. Of the 231 patients included, 76 patients received LCT combined with pembrolizumab ± chemotherapy (LCT group) while 155 patients received pembrolizumab ± chemotherapy alone (non-LCT group). Of note, the PFS of the LCT and non-LCT groups was 13.97 and 10.08 months (p = 0.016), respectively. The OS were 30.67 and 21.97 months (p = 0.011), respectively. The PFS and OS were significantly improved with LCT for patients with brain or lung metastases but not bone metastases. No significant increase in treatment-related toxicity was observed in the LCT group.ConclusionsThe present study shows that LCT to metastatic sites is an option for consideration in patients with synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC during first-line pembrolizumab treatment, with significantly improved PFS and OS compared with systemic treatment alone.

Project description:PurposeRecent data indicate consolidative radiation therapy improves progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Data on long-term outcomes are limited.Methods and materialsThis prospective, multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 trial was initiated in 2010 and enrolled patients with oligometastatic NSCLC. Oligometastatic disease was defined as a maximum of 5 metastatic lesions for all disease sites, including no more than 3 active extracranial metastatic lesions. Limited mediastinal lymph node involvement was allowed. Patients achieving a partial response or stable disease after 3 to 6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy were treated with CRT to the primary and metastatic sites of disease, followed by observation alone. The primary endpoint was PFS, with secondary endpoints of local control, overall survival (OS), and safety.ResultsTwenty-nine patients were enrolled between October 2010 and October 2015, and 27 were eligible for consolidative radiation therapy. The study was closed early because of slow accrual but met its primary endpoint for success, which was PFS >6 months (P < .0001). The median PFS (95% confidence interval) was 11.2 months (7.6-15.9 months), and the median OS was 28.4 months (14.5-45.8 months). Survival outcomes were not significantly different for patients with brain metastases (P = .87 for PFS; P = .12 for OS) or lymph node involvement (P = .74 for PFS; P = .86 for OS).ConclusionsFor patients with oligometastatic NSCLC, chemotherapy followed by consolidative radiation therapy without maintenance chemotherapy was associated with encouraging long-term outcomes.

Project description:ImportancePatients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may benefit from locally ablative therapy (LAT) such as surgery or stereotactic radiotherapy. Prior studies were conducted before the advent of immunotherapy, and a strong biological rationale for the use of immunotherapy exists in a minimal residual disease state.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether the addition of pembrolizumab after LAT improves outcomes for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC.Design, setting, and participantsThis single-arm phase 2 trial of pembrolizumab therapy was performed from February 1, 2015, through September 30, 2017, at an academic referral cancer center. The 51 eligible patients enrolled had oligometastatic NSCLC (≤4 metastatic sites) and had completed LAT to all known sites of disease. Data were analyzed from February 1, 2015, to August 23, 2018.InterventionsWithin 4 to 12 weeks of completing LAT, patients began intravenous pembrolizumab therapy, 200 mg every 21 days, for 8 cycles, with provision to continue to 16 cycles in the absence of progressive disease or untoward toxic effects.Main outcomes and measuresThe 2 primary efficacy end points were progression-free survival (PFS) from the start of LAT (PFS-L), which preceded enrollment in the trial, and PFS from the start of pembrolizumab therapy (PFS-P). The study was powered for comparison with historical data on the first efficacy end point. Secondary outcomes included overall survival, safety, and quality of life as measured by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung instrument.ResultsOf 51 patients enrolled, 45 (24 men [53%]; median age, 64 years [range, 46-82 years]) received pembrolizumab. At the time of analysis, 24 patients had progressive disease or had died. Median PFS-L was 19.1 months (95% CI, 9.4-28.7 months), significantly greater than the historical median of 6.6 months (P = .005). Median PFS-P was 18.7 months (95% CI, 10.1-27.1 months). Eleven patients died. Overall mean (SE) survival rate at 12 months was 90.9% (4.3%); at 24 months, 77.5% (6.7%). Neither programmed death ligand 1 expression nor CD8 T-cell tumor infiltration was associated with PFS-L. Pembrolizumab after LAT yielded no new safety signals and no reduction in quality of life.Conclusions and relevancePembrolizumab after LAT for oligometastatic NSCLC appears to improve PFS with no reduction in quality of life.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02316002.

Project description:Standard treatments for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) include palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but with limited survival rates. With the development of improved immunotherapy and targeted therapy, NSCLC prognoses have significantly improved. In recent years, the concept of oligometastatic disease has been developed, with randomized trial data showing survival benefits from local ablation therapy (LAT) in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC (OM-NSCLC). LAT includes surgery, stereotactic ablation body radiation therapy, or thermal ablation, and is becoming an important treatment component for OM-NSCLC. However, controversy remains on specific management strategies for the condition. In this review, we gathered current randomized trial data to analyze prognostic factors affecting patient survival, and explored ideal treatment conditions for patients with OM-NSCLC with respect to long-term survival.

Project description:BackgroundIn the past decade, major developments have improved the survival of patients with oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). About 20% - 50% of patients with NSCLC present with oligometastases at diagnosis. For this group of patients, it seems that an increase in survival would justify aggressive local therapies. The development of minimally invasive surgery and advanced radiotherapy techniques like stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) makes local control possible for selected patients with metastatic NSCLC. The advantage of SBRT over surgery is that it is a non-invasive technique, with minimum side effects, and is more suitable for fragile and elderly patients, non-candidates for surgery, or patients who refuse surgery.AimThe purpose of this review is to summarize the latest scientific evidence on the management of oligometastatic NSCLC, focusing on the role of radiotherapy.Relevance for patientsThe initial treatment recommended for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC is systemic therapy. Patients should be considered for radical treatment to both the primary tumor and oligometastases. Aggressive local therapy comprises surgery and/or definitive radiotherapy such as SRS or SBRT, and may be preceded or followed by systemic treatment. Recent clinical evidence from Phase II trials reports benefits in terms of PFS in patients with good performance status and long disease-free periods, with good response to systemic therapy, especially in EGFR wild-type tumors. Phase I and II trials have shown that radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy can improve tumor response rate and possibly overall survival. The recommendation is also to include OM patients in ongoing clinical trials.
