Abstract
Background Pneumonitis is a common complication for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer undergoing definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). It remains unclear whether there is ethnic difference in the incidence of post-CRT pneumonitis. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for eligible studies from January 1, 2000 to April 30, 2023. The outcomes of interest were incidence rates of pneumonitis. The random-effect model was used for statistical analysis. This meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023416490). Findings A total of 248 studies involving 28,267 patients were included. Among studies of CRT without immunotherapy, the pooled rates of pneumonitis for Asian patients were significantly higher than that for non-Asian patients (all grade: 66.8%, 95% CI: 59.2%-73.9% vs. 28.1%, 95% CI: 20.4%-36.4%; P < 0.0001; grade ≥2: 25.1%, 95% CI: 22.9%-27.3% vs. 14.9%, 95% CI: 12.0%-18.0%; P < 0.0001; grade ≥3: 6.5%, 95% CI: 5.6%-7.3% vs. 4.6%, 95% CI: 3.4%-5.9%; P = 0.015; grade 5: 0.6%, 95% CI: 0.3%-0.9% vs. 0.1%, 95% CI: 0.0%-0.2%; P < 0.0001). Regarding studies of CRT plus immunotherapy, Asian patients had higher rates of all-grade (74.8%, 95% CI: 63.7%-84.5% vs. 34.3%, 95% CI: 28.7%-40.2%; P < 0.0001) and grade ≥2 (34.0%, 95% CI: 30.7%-37.3% vs. 24.6%, 95% CI: 19.9%-29.3%; P = 0.001) pneumonitis than non-Asian patients, but with no significant differences in the rates of grade ≥3 and grade 5 pneumonitis. Results from subgroup analyses were generally similar to that from the all studies. In addition, the pooled median/mean of lung volume receiving ≥20 Gy and mean lung dose were relatively low in Asian studies compared to that in non-Asian studies. Interpretation Asian patients are likely to have a higher incidence of pneumonitis than non-Asian patients, which appears to be due to the poor tolerance of lung to radiation. Nevertheless, these findings are based on observational studies and with significant heterogeneity, and need to be validated in future large prospective studies focusing on the subject. Funding None.

Abstract
Background The standard of care for unresectable, locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) is chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab, based on the PACIFIC study. Although multiple Japanese phase II studies have shown high efficacy and tolerability of CRT with cisplatin plus S-1 (SP), no prospective study using durvalumab after SP-based CRT has been reported. Objectives We conducted a multicenter phase II study of this approach, the interim analysis of which showed a high transition rate to durvalumab consolidation therapy. Here, we report the primary analysis results. Design In treatment-naïve LA-NSCLC, cisplatin (60 mg/m2, day 1) and S-1 (80-120 mg/body, days 1-14) were administered with two 4-week cycles with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (60 Gy) followed by durvalumab (10 mg/kg) every 2 weeks for up to 1 year. Methods The primary endpoint was 1-year progression-free survival (PFS). The expected 1-year PFS and its lower limit of the 80% confidence interval (CI) were set as 63% and 47%, respectively, based on the results of TORG1018 study. Results In all, 59 patients were enrolled, with 51 (86.4%) proceeding to durvalumab. The objective response rate throughout the study was 72.9% (95% CI: 59.7-83.6%). After median follow-up of 21.9 months, neither median PFS nor OS was reached. The 1-year PFS was 72.5% (80% CI: 64.2-79.2%, 95% CI: 59.1-82.2%), while the 1-year overall survival was 91.5% (95% CI: 80.8-96.4%). No grade 5 adverse events were observed throughout the study. The most common adverse event during the consolidation phase was pneumonitis (any grade, 78.4%; grade ⩾3, 2.0%). Eventually, 52.5% of patients completed 1-year durvalumab consolidation therapy from CRT initiation. Conclusion This study of durvalumab after SP-based CRT met its primary endpoint and found a 1-year PFS of 73% from CRT initiation. This study provides the first prospective data on the prognosis and tolerability of durvalumab consolidation from the initiation of CRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Consolidation systemic therapy (ST) given after concurrent radiotherapy (RT) and ST (RT-ST) is frequently practiced in locally advanced inoperable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Little is known, however, about the fate of patients achieving different responses after concurrent phases of the treatment. METHODS we searched the English-language literature to identify full-length articles on phase II and Phase III clinical studies employing consolidation ST after initial concurrent RT-ST. We sought information about response evaluation after the concurrent phase and the outcome of these patient subgroups, the patterns of failure per response achieved after the concurrent phase as well as the outcome of these subgroups after the consolidation phase. RESULTS Eighty-seven articles have been initially identified, of which 20 studies were excluded for various reasons, leaving, therefore, a total of 67 studies for our analysis. Response evaluation after the concurrent phase was performed in 36 (54%) studies but in only 14 (21%) response data were provided, while in 34 (51%) studies patients underwent a consolidation phase regardless of the response. No study provided any outcome (survivals, patterns of failure) as per response achieved after the concurrent phase. CONCLUSIONS Information regarding the outcome of subgroups of patients achieving different responses after the concurrent phase and before the administration of the consolidation phase is still lacking. This may negatively affect the decision-making process as it remains unknown which patients may preferentially benefit from the consolidation of ST.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, no clinical trials on the use of induction therapy before surgery have focused solely on lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We report the results of the Personalized Induction Therapy-2 (PIT-2) trial, a multicenter phase II study, performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of S-1 + cisplatin with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) followed by surgery in patients with stage IIIA (N2) LSCC. METHODS Patients with pathologically proven stage IIIA (N2) LSCC received induction therapy comprising three cycles of S-1 + cisplatin with concurrent TRT (45 Gy in 25 fractions) followed by surgery. S-1 was administered orally at a dose of 40 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1-14, in addition to intravenous infusion of cisplatin (60 mg/m2) on day 1. The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. RESULTS Of 45 registered patients, 43 underwent induction therapy. Of the 43 patients, 39 (91%) underwent surgery (35 lobectomies, 3 pneumonectomies, and 1 wedge resection). The 2-year PFS, 2-year overall survival, objective response rate, and pathological complete response rates were 67% (90% confidence interval [CI] 54-78%), 70% (95% CI 53-81%), 86% (95% CI 76-96%), and 39% (95% CI 23-54%), respectively. No new treatment-related adverse events occurred during the induction therapy. One case of 90-day postoperative mortality involving a patient who underwent right pneumonectomy and developed pneumonia after discharge occurred. CONCLUSIONS Induction therapy using S-1 + cisplatin with concurrent TRT followed by surgery is a feasible and promising treatment approach for stage IIIA (N2) LSCC.

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin + S-1 versus cisplatin + other third-generation agents for locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis of individual participant data. BMC Pulm Med 2022; 22:31. [PMID: 35000608 PMCID: PMC8744285 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-022-01828-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND For decades, concurrent chemo-radiotherapy with cisplatin-based regimen has been a standard therapy for locally advanced stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted individual-participant-data (IPD) meta-analyses to compare S-1/cisplatin versus other third-generation anti-cancer medications plus cisplatin regimens with the goal of determining whether or not S-1/cisplatin was the ideal choice for treatment accompanied by radiotherapy (RT). METHODS A thorough search was performed using multiple electronic databases. We integrated the IPD of each trial and analyzed the resulting meta-database. The primary endpoint was the overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoints included the progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), toxicities, and treatment delivery. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on baseline characteristics. Statistical analyses were stratified by trials. RESULTS Three randomized control trials (WJOG5008L study, SPECTRA study, and TORG1018 study) were found. Of the 316 patients enrolled in those studies, 159 received S-1/cisplatin (SP), and 157 were assigned to other combination chemotherapy. The median OS for the SP arm was 48.2 months, and that of the non-SP arm was 42.4 months. The combined hazard ratio (HR) for the OS was 0.895 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.638-1.256), and no heterogeneity was noted among the trials (test for heterogeneity, p = 0.87; I2 = 0). The median PFS for the SP and non-SP arms was 12.8 and 14.0 months, respectively. The corresponding HR for the PFS was 1.022 (95% CI 0.776-1.347), and there was evidence of moderate heterogeneity among the trials (test for heterogeneity, p = 0.16; I2 = 0.46). The ORRs were 69.7% (95% CI 62.1-76.7%) and 70.9% (95% CI 63.7-78.1%) in the SP and non-SP arms, respectively. The toxicity profile showed that SP caused significantly fewer instances of grade 3-4 leukopenia and neutropenia than non-SP regimens. CONCLUSION No marked differences were detected in the OS, PFS, or ORR between the SP and non-SP arms. SP had significantly less myelosuppression and better treatment compliance as a chemotherapy regimen for concurrent chemoradiation in locally advanced NSCLC than non-SP regimens.

Ther Adv Med Oncol 2022; 14:17588359221116603. [PMID: 35923924 PMCID: PMC9340896 DOI: 10.1177/17588359221116603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The standard of care for unresectable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) is chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab, based on the PACIFIC trial. Disease progression and pneumonitis were reported as the main reasons to preclude the initiation of durvalumab in multiple retrospective studies. However, the transition rate and the reasons for failure to proceed to consolidation therapy with durvalumab after CRT were not evaluated prospectively. Although phase II studies in Japan have shown high efficacy and tolerability of CRT with cisplatin + S-1 (SP), no prospective study using durvalumab after SP-based CRT has yet been reported. We therefore conducted a phase II study to verify the efficacy and safety of durvalumab following SP-based CRT. In this interim analysis, we report the transition rate and the reasons for its failure. Methods: In treatment-naïve LA-NSCLC, cisplatin (60 mg/m2, day 1) and S-1 (80–120 mg/body, days 1–14) were administered with two 4-week cycles with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (60 Gy) followed by durvalumab every 2 weeks for up to 12 months. The primary endpoint was 12 month progression-free survival rate. Results: Fifty-nine patients were enrolled, of whom 86.4% (51/59) proceeded to durvalumab. All of them initiated durvalumab within 42 days after CRT [median 18 days (range: 3–38)], including 27.5% (14/51) in <14 days. Common reasons for failure to proceed to durvalumab were disease progression (2/59, 3.4%) and adverse events (6/59, 10.2%). Among the latter cases, four resumed treatment and proceeded to durvalumab within 42 days on off-protocol. The objective response rate and the disease control rate were 62.7% and 93.2%, respectively. The incidences of ⩾grade 3 pneumonitis, febrile neutropenia, and esophagitis were 0%, 8.5%, and 3.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Regarding durvalumab after CRT, this interim analysis of the SAMURAI study clarified the high transition rate, early introduction, and reasons for failure to proceed to consolidation therapy, which were not determined in the PACIFIC trial.

Abstract
Background: Based on the results of the PACIFIC study, chemoradiotherapy followed by
1-year consolidation therapy with durvalumab was established as the standard
of care for unresectable, locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
(LA-NSCLC). However, some topics not foreseen in that design can be
explored, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival
(OS) after the start of chemoradiotherapy, the proportion of patients who
proceeded to consolidation therapy with durvalumab, and the optimal
chemotherapeutic regimens. In Japan, the combination regimen of
S-1 + cisplatin (SP), for which the results of multiple clinical studies
have suggested a good balance of efficacy and tolerability, is frequently
selected in clinical settings. However, the efficacy and safety of
consolidation therapy with durvalumab following this SP regimen have not
been evaluated. We therefore planned a multicenter, prospective, single-arm,
phase II study. Methods: In treatment-naïve LA-NSCLC, two cycles of combination chemotherapy with S-1
(80–120 mg/body, Days 1–14) + cisplatin (60 mg/m2, Day 1) will be
administered at an interval of 4 weeks, with concurrent thoracic
radiotherapy (60 Gy). Responders will then receive durvalumab every 2 weeks
for up to 1 year. The primary endpoint is 1-year PFS rate. Discussion: Compared with the conventional standard regimen in Japan, the SP regimen is
expected to be associated with lower incidences of pneumonitis, esophagitis,
and febrile neutropenia, which complicate the initiation of consolidation
therapy with durvalumab, and have higher antitumor efficacy during
chemoradiotherapy. Therefore, SP-based chemoradiotherapy is expected to be
successfully followed by consolidation therapy with durvalumab in more
patients, resulting in prolonged PFS and OS. Toxicity and efficacy results
of the SP regimen in this study will also provide information important to
the future establishment of the concurrent combination of chemoradiotherapy
and durvalumab. Trial registration: Japan Registry of Clinical Trials, jRCTs031190127, registered 1 November

Abstract
Cisplatin‐based chemoradiotherapy is considered standard treatment for unresectable locally advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer (LA‐NSCLC). This study examined two regimens of chemotherapy in concurrent chemoradiation. Eligible patients with unresectable, radically irradible LA‐NSCLC were randomized to either the SP (S‐1 and cisplatin) or DP (docetaxel and cisplatin) arms with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy of 60 Gy, comprising 2 Gy per daily fraction. The primary endpoint was the overall survival (OS) rate at 2 years (the 2‐year OS rate). From May 2011 to August 2014, 110 patients were enrolled. Of 106 eligible patients, the 2‐year OS rates were 79% (95% CI: 66%–88%) and 69% (95% CI: 55%–80%) the SP and DP arms, respectively. The median progression‐free survival was 11.6 months for the SP arm and 19.9 months for the DP arm, while the median survival time was 55.2 months for the SP arm and 50.8 months for the DP arm. Grade 3/4 leukopenia were more frequent in DP arm. The incidences of febrile neutropenia and pneumonitis tended to be higher in DP arm. There were no treatment‐related deaths in either arm. The primary endpoint was met in both arms. The SP arm as a future reference regimen will be chosen due to fewer toxicities and better OS.

Randomized phase II study of chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin + S-1 versus cisplatin + pemetrexed for locally advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer: SPECTRA study. Lung Cancer 2020; 141:64-71. [PMID: 31955002 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2020.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES SPECTRA is a multicenter, randomized phase II study of chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP) plus S-1 versus CDDP plus pemetrexed (PEM) in combination with thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) for locally advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, in order to determine which of these two regimens might be preferable for comparison with standard therapies in a future phase III study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to receive CDDP + S-1 (CDDP 60 mg/m2 on day 1 and S-1 80 mg/m2 on days 1-14, every 4 weeks, up to 4 cycles) or CDDP + PEM (CDDP 75 mg/m2 + PEM 500 mg/m2 on day 1, every 3 weeks, up to 4 cycles) combined with TRT (60 Gy in 30 fractions). The primary endpoint was the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The sample size had been set at 100 patients. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were randomized to receive CDDP + S-1 or CDDP + PEM (CDDP + S-1, n = 52; CDDP + PEM, n = 50) between January 2013 and October 2016. The results in the CDDP + S1 group and CDDP + PEM group were as follows: completion rates of TRT (60 Gy)/chemotherapy (4 cycles) was 92 %/73 % and 98 %/86 %, respectively; the response rates were 60 % and 64 %, respectively; median PFS after a median follow-up of 32.1 months, 12.7/13.8 months (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.16; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.73-1.84); 2-year PFS rate, 36.5 % (95 % CI, 23.5-49.6)/32.1 % (95 %CI, 18.9-45.4); median OS, 48.3/59.1 months (HR = 1.05; 95 %CI, 0.58-1.90); 2-year OS rate, 69.2 % (95 %CI, 56.7-81.8)/66.4 % (95 %CI, 53.0-79.9); Grade 3 toxicities: febrile neutropenia (12 %/2 %), anorexia (8 %/16 %), diarrhea (8 %/0 %), esophagitis (6 %/8 %), and neutropenia (35 %/50 %); Grade 2 or worse radiation pneumonitis, 15 % (8 patients)/4 % (2 patients). CONCLUSION The 2-year PFS rate in the CDDP + S-1 arm was higher than that in the CDDP + PEM arm. Both treatments were safe, with manageable toxicities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We conducted a Phase I/II study of carboplatin, S-1 and concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) for elderly patients (71 years or older) with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients received carboplatin (AUC 3-5) on Day 1 and S-1 (30-40 mg/m2 two times daily) on Days 1-14, every 2 weeks, for up to four cycles, plus concurrent TRT at a total dose of 60 Gy. The primary endpoint for the Phase II study was the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. RESULTS Eighteen patients were enrolled in the Phase I study. Febrile neutropenia, a decreased platelet count and esophagitis were dose-limiting toxicities. The recommended doses for the Phase II study were determined to be an AUC of 3 for carboplatin, 40 mg/m2 twice daily for S-1. Twenty-eight patients were evaluated in the Phase II study. The 1-year PFS rate was 57.1% (90% CI 41.6-71.4%), and the median PFS was 16.8 months (95% CI 7.8-not assessable [NA]). The lower limit of the 90% CI for 1-year PFS exceeded the prespecified threshold value of 30%; therefore, the primary endpoint was met. Grades 3-4 toxicities included thrombocytopenia (21%) and hyponatremia (11%). Grade 3 radiation pneumonitis was observed in 18% of patients. No treatment-related deaths were observed. CONCLUSION Combination chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin plus S-1 and concurrent TRT had a promising efficacy in elderly patients with locally advanced NSCLC; however, radiation pneumonitis was frequently observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Because chemoradiotherapy using cisplatin and S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, is effective for unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), an induction setting was used in a multicenter phase II study (Clinical trial number: UMIN000008205). The correlations of relapse and clinicopathological factors were analyzed. METHODS We defined locally advanced NSCLC as pathologically proven chest wall invasion or hilar and/or mediastinal lymph node metastases by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration. The patients received two courses of S-1 administration for 14 days and intravenous cisplatin injection on day 8. A total dose of 40 Gy radiotherapy was concurrently received. Surgical resection was performed after completion of the treatment. RESULTS Of the 23 eligible patients, 18 had stage IIIA and 5 had stage IIB NSCLC. Twenty of the eligible patients (87.0%) completed the regimen. Six (26.1%) complete responses were identified and 12 cases (52.2%) were histopathologically downstaged by induction chemoradiotherapy (ICRT). The 3-year overall survival rate was 58.1% and relapse-free survival (RFS) rate was 52.0%, respectively. Among several clinicopathological parameters, univariate RFS analysis identified that only downstaging was significantly associated with longer RFS times (p = 0.003). The radiological response did not reflect pathological response. When the variables of preoperative pathologically proven N2 metastasis, pathological ICRT effectiveness, and downstaging were included in the Cox proportional hazard modes, only the parameter of downstaging displayed significant hazard ratio (hazard ratio 0.13, p = 0.010). CONCLUSION This protocol is considered an option among preoperative therapies and has obvious benefits for pathologically downstaged cases. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER UMIN000008205. TRIAL REGISTRATION DATE June 19, 2012.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for unresectable, locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This trial evaluated two experimental regimens that combine chemotherapy with concurrent radiotherapy. METHODS Eligible patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC were randomised to either the SP arm (S-1 and cisplatin) or VP arm (vinorelbine and cisplatin), with early concurrent thoracic radiotherapy of 60 Gy, comprising 2 Gy per daily fraction. The primary endpoint was the overall survival rate at 2 years (2-year overall survival (OS)) (Study ID: UMIN000002420). RESULTS From September 2009 to September 2012, 112 patients were enroled. Of the 108 eligible patients, the 2-year OS was 75.6% (80% confidence interval (CI), 67-82%) in the SP arm and 68.5% (80% CI: 60-76%) in the VP arm. The hazard ratio (HR) for death between the two arms was 0.85 (0.48-1.49). The median progression-free survival was 14.8 months for the SP arm and 12.3 months for the VP arm with an HR of 0.92 (0.58-1.44). There were four treatment-related deaths in the SP arm and five in the VP arm. CONCLUSIONS The null hypotheses for 2-year OS were rejected in both arms. The West Japan Oncology Group will employ the SP arm as the investigational arm in a future phase III study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because of the rarity of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs), there is no treatment for managing unresectable tumors that is supported by a high level of evidence. We present here the clinical outcomes of concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy for patients with unresectable TETs. METHODS We collated records for 215 patients with TETs who were treated at our institution and focused on the 20 patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy without curative-intent surgical resection. RESULTS Six patients with thymoma (4%) and 14 patients with thymic carcinoma (19%) were treated with chemoradiotherapy. Six received concurrent therapy, and platinum-containing regimens were administered to 16 patients. The survival of patients with thymic carcinoma was poorer than that of patients with thymoma [median overall survival (OS), 64.1 and 31.4 months, respectively; P=0.059]. No significant difference in survival was observed between patients treated concurrently and sequentially (48.5 vs. 38.2 months, respectively, P=0.83) or between patients treated with platinum-containing regimens and other regimens (43.5 and 53.8 months, respectively, P=0.25). CONCLUSIONS Chemoradiotherapy for unresectable TETs can be beneficial, especially when administrated concurrently. Patients for concurrent chemoradiotherapy should be chosen carefully because of its effectiveness and toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the preferred treatment for stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there have been few reports on combination chemotherapy with radiation for second- and third-generation antitumor drugs, although clinical guidelines have recommended the use of these drugs along with platinum agents. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and toxicity of cisplatin and either S-1 or vinorelbine for treating stage III unresectable NSCLC patients who were treated with CCRT. RESULTS Between September 2006 and May 2014, 56 patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC were treated with CCRT with S-1 and cisplatin (median age: 63 years) and 58 patients were treated with CCRT with vinorelbine and cisplatin (median age: 61 years). The median follow-up time was 14.6 months in the S-1 arm and 28.0 months in the vinorelbine arm. We found no significant difference in progression-free survival (15.8 months vs. 10.1 months; p=0.15) and overall survival (33.7 months vs. 31.1 months; p=0.63) between the S-1 and vinorelbine arms, respectively. Severe (more than grade 3) leukopenia (35.7% vs. 98.2%; p<0.01), neutropenia (44.6% vs. 98.2%; p<0.01), and febrile neutropenia (1.8% vs. 46.6%, p<0.01) were significantly less frequent in the S-1 arm than in the vinorelbine arm. Treatment-related deaths were not observed in either arm. CONCLUSIONS CCRT with both S-1 or vinorelbine with cisplatin appears feasible based on their efficacy and toxicity profiles. Both treatments may be recommended as treatment options for patients with stage III unresectable NSCLC.

Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of S-1 monotherapy, S-1-containing combined chemotherapy and S-1 containing chemoradiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a population-based observational study was performed. The efficacy and safety of the chemotherapies were evaluated at 13 institutes in a prefecture of Japan between April 2011 and March 2015. Datasets were obtained from 282 patients with NSCLC. For either wild-type or mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), these three therapy groups generated almost identical response results and toxicity profiles as those in previously reported clinical trials, although the present study appeared to have slightly lower survival rates compared with those in the previous clinical trials. This may be due to the inclusion of patients in poor condition, and S-1 therapy being administered in the second, or later, line of therapy. In conclusion, the present study has confirmed that S-1-containing chemotherapy is effective against wild- and mutated-type EGFR NSCLC, and it is also tolerable in clinical practice.

Abstract
The genetic backgrounds of the Japanese (or Asians) are, at least in part, different from those of Caucasians. It is necessary to recognize this difference to develop medicine that is both optimized and individualized. In particular, the consideration of ethnic differences is becoming increasingly important for lung cancer medicine. Japanese clinical practice guidelines indicate that some clinical biomarkers, such as epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutations, echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion gene and uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase genotypes should be determined in appropriate lung cancer patients. At the present time, tests for these biomarkers are covered by the Japanese national health-care programme, as is treatment with certain targeted drugs and cytotoxic agents. Therefore, most patients with lung cancer in Japan receive these tests as part of daily practice if their performance status and organ function are judged to be eligible. In addition, ethnic differences in bone marrow toxicity caused by cytotoxic drugs are reflected in treatment choice, and the requirements for the development of treatment modalities suitable for rare targeted populations are also increasing. To meet these requirements, many collaborative groups in Japan that have improved their infrastructure for investigator-initiated trials and conducted important activities need to provide further optimal treatment modalities for Japanese and Asian patients with lung cancer. Here, the characteristics of lung cancer in Japanese patients, general aspects of medical treatment and the care system in Japan, and representative studies on lung cancer in Japan are reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND S-1, a novel oral fluoropyrimidine, has potent antitumor activity against non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Meanwhile, leucovorin enhances the efficacy of 5-fluorouracil by inhibiting thymidylate synthase. Therefore, this phase II clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of S-1 plus leucovorin combination therapy for previously treated patients with NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC were prospectively enrolled if they received 1 or 2 prior chemotherapy regimens. S-1 (40-60 mg) and leucovorin (25mg) were administered together orally twice per day for 7 consecutive days followed by 7 days of rest. This 2-week cycle was repeated for a maximum of 25 cycles until the onset of disease progression or unacceptable adverse events. Endpoints included objective tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. RESULTS Among 33 patients, 6 (18.2%), 14 (42.4%), and 11 (33.3%) had partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease, respectively. Median progression-free and overall survival times were 3.5 and 11.7 months, respectively. The common grade 3 toxicities included stomatitis (18.2%), anorexia (12.1%), and neutropenia (9.1%). One patient had pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, and another experienced paralytic ileus. There were no treatment-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS S-1 plus leucovorin combination therapy demonstrated promising efficacy and an acceptable toxicity profile in previously treated patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Prospective randomized trials and meta-analyses established concurrent radiochemotherapy (RT-CHT) as standard treatment approach in patients with inoperable, locally advanced (stage IIIA and B) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In patients with either clinically (c) or pathologically (p) staged disease (stage IIIA), including those with pN2 disease, trimodal therapy was also frequently practiced in the past and is currently still advocated by large cooperative groups and organizations. Similarly, consolidation CHT provided after concurrent RT-CHT was suggested to be feasible and effective in inoperable stage III NSCLC. Contrasting these practices and suggestions, there is no evidence that trimodal therapy in stage IIIA (clinically or pathologically staged) or consolidation CHT in inoperable stage III NSCLC plays any role in its treatment. In both cases, evidence clearly demonstrates that concurrent RT-CHT is of similar efficacy and less toxic, and it should be considered a standard treatment option for all patients with stage III NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although thoracic irradiation (TRT) is a standard treatment for elderly patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), treatment outcomes are poor. We previously reported a phase I trial combining S-1, an oral 5-fluorouracil derivative, and thoracic radiation, which yielded safe and effective outcomes. METHODS In this phase II trial, 30 patients aged 76 years or older with LA-NSCLC received S-1 (80 mg/m(2) on days 1-14 and 29-42) and TRT (60Gy). The primary end-point was the response rate. RESULTS The median age and pre-treatment Charlson score were 79 years and 1, respectively. The mean proportions of the actual doses of S-1 and TRT delivered relative to the planned doses were 95% and 98%, respectively. Partial responses were observed in 19 patients (63%; 95% confidence interval: 45-82%), which did not attain the end-point. At a median follow-up time of 23.7 months, the median progression-free survival and median survival times were 13.0 months and 27.9 months, respectively. No difference in efficacy was observed upon stratification by tumour histology. Toxicities were generally mild, except for grade 3 or greater febrile neutropenia and pneumonitis in 7% and 10% of patients, respectively. No patient developed severe oesophagitis. CONCLUSIONS Although the primary end-point was not met, concurrent S-1 chemotherapy and radiotherapy yielded favourable survival data. Also, the combined treatment was well-tolerated in elderly patients with LA-NSCLC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the efficacy and safety of oral S-1 in combination with cisplatin and thoracic radiotherapy in patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS AND MATERIALS S-1 (50mg/m(2)) was administered orally twice daily for 14 days, with cisplatin (40 mg/m(2)) on days 1 and 8 of each cycle every 3 weeks, for 2-4 cycles. Thoracic radiation therapy was administered in 2 Gy fractions five times weekly for a total dose of 60 Gy. The primary endpoint was the response rate, and secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, overall survival and safety. RESULTS Forty-one patients were enrolled in this study. The objective response rate was 87.8% (98% CI: 77.8-97.8%). The median progression-free survival was 467 days (15.4 months), and the median survival time was 904 days (29.7 months). The overall survival rates at 1- and 2-years were 85.7% and 52.9%, respectively. Hematological toxicities included grade 3/4 neutropenia (17%) and grade 3/4 leukopenia (27%). No grade 3 febrile neutropenia was detected, and grade 3/4 non-hematological toxicities were also mild. A grade 3 gastrointestinal hemorrhage was observed in one patient. CONCLUSIONS The combination of oral S-1 plus cisplatin with concurrent radiotherapy is a promising treatment with a high efficacy and lower toxicity in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
For more than a decade, S-1 has been investigated aggressively against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Japan. Recently, two randomized phase III trials of S-1 combined with cisplatin (CDDP) or carboplatin (CBDCA) compared with the standard platinum doublet chemotherapy were reported. S-1 and CDDP was noninferior to CDDP and DTX in terms of overall survival (OS) (median survival time [MST] 16.1 versus 17.1 months, respectively; hazard ratio [HR] 1.013; 96.4% confidence interval [CI] 0.837-1.227). Noninferiority of S-1 and CBDCA compared with CBDCA and paclitaxel was also confirmed for OS (MST 15.2 versus 13.3 months, respectively; HR 0.928; 99.2% CI 0.671-1.283). The noninferiority design employed an upper CI limit of HR<1.322 in the former trial and HR<1.33 in the latter. S-1 combined with CDDP or CBDCA was thought to be one of the standard platinum doublet regimens in the first-line setting for patients with advanced NSCLC in Japan. Some additional interesting phase I and II studies have been published in Japan. They include studies of S-1 as first-line chemotherapy when combined with nonplatinum agents; as second-line chemotherapy; within chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced disease; and in the postoperative adjuvant setting. This review will also describe the use of S-1 for the treatment of NSCLC in these settings.

Dose-escalation study of three-dimensional conformal thoracic radiotherapy with concurrent S-1 and cisplatin for inoperable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. Clin Lung Cancer 2013; 14:440-5. [PMID: 23540866 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2013.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2012] [Revised: 12/31/2012] [Accepted: 01/29/2013] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the recommended dose (RD) in concurrent conformal radiotherapy with S-1 and cisplatin chemotherapy for inoperable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients with inoperable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, age ≥ 20 years, performance status 0-1 received 4 cycles of intravenous cisplatin (60 mg/m(2), day 1) and oral S-1 (80, 100, or 120 mg based on body surface area, days 1-14) repeated every 4 weeks. Radiation doses were 66, 70, and 74 Gy for arms 1, 2, and 3, respectively. RESULTS A total of 24 patients were enrolled in our study, including 6 in arm 1, 6 in arm 2, and 12 in arm 3. The patients consisted of 14 men and 10 women, with a median age of 63 years (range, 44-73 years). The median follow-up was 27.3 months (range, 8.5-42.6 months) for all patients and 33.9 months (range, 15.2-42.6 months) for those still alive. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia, lung toxicities, and heart toxicities occurred in 2, 2, and 2 patients, respectively. Dose-limiting toxicity occurred in 2, none, and 1 patient in arms 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The median survival was not reached, and the 2-year survival rate was 70% (95% CI, 51%-89%). Two-year local relapse-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival were 74% (95% CI, 56%-92%) and 45% (95% CI, 25%-65%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS High-dose radiotherapy with S-1 and cisplatin is feasible, and 74 Gy was determined as the recommended dose.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to establish the maximum tolerated dose of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) with conventional administration of the docetaxel (D) plus cisplatin (P) (conv-DP) regimen. METHODS Patients (aged ≤70 years) with unresectable dry stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and having performance status 0 or 1 and adequate organ function were eligible. They received radiotherapy (60 Gy in 30 fractions) once daily starting on day 2. Concurrent P (day 1; 60 mg/m(2) at Levels 1-3, 80 mg/m(2) at Level 4) and D (day 1; 30 mg/m(2) at Level 1, 40 mg/m(2) at Level 2, 50 mg/m(2) at Levels 3-4) were administered every 4 weeks for 2-4 courses. RESULTS Eighteen patients were enrolled (stage IIIA/IIIB, 5/13 patients). Three cases of dose-limiting toxicity were observed in this study, although another 3 cases were added at Levels 2 and 3. Radiotherapy was completed in 15 patients. Seventeen patients received more than 2 courses of chemotherapy. Neither Grade 3/4 esophagitis nor severe hematological events were observed at Levels 1-4. However, dose escalation to Level 5 (P [80 mg/m(2)], D [60 mg/m(2)]) was stopped because the Level 5 dose was the recommended dose (RD) of chemotherapy alone for stage IIIB/IV NSCLC in Japan. Therefore, the RD was determined as D50/P80 mg/m(2) in this cCRT. The objective response rate was 89%, and the median survival time was 23.6 months. CONCLUSIONS cCRT with non-split DP was a tolerable and effective regimen, and RD was 50/80 mg/m(2) every 4 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A phase I study was performed to evaluate dose-limiting toxicity and the recommended dose for the oral fluoropyrimidine S-1 administered concurrently with thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) in elderly (≥ 70 years of age) patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS S-1 was administered on days 1 to 14 and 22 to 35 at oral doses of 65 or 80 mg m(-2) day(-1). TRT was administered in 2-Gy fractions five times weekly for a total dose of 60 Gy. Twelve previously untreated patients were treated with S-1 at 65 (n=6) or 80 (n=6) mg m(-2) day(-1). RESULTS All patients completed the planned 60 Gy of TRT. Dose-limiting toxicity included pneumonitis (n=2), infection (n=1), and stomatitis (n=1), each of grade 3, but each event was reversible. The recommended dose for S-1 was determined to be 80 mg m(-2) day(-1). No patient experienced toxicity of grade 4. The dose intensity of S-1 was well maintained and the combination of S-1 plus TRT was well tolerated overall. The overall response rate was 83.3 %, with a median survival time of 34.0 months. CONCLUSIONS Administration of S-1 at 80 mg m(-2) day(-1) on days 1 to 14 and 22 to 35 can be safely combined with concurrent TRT in elderly patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Prospective study of transarterial infusion of docetaxel and cisplatin to treat non-small-cell lung cancer in patients contraindicated for standard chemotherapy. Lung Cancer 2012; 77:353-8. [PMID: 22537620 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2012.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2012] [Revised: 03/10/2012] [Accepted: 04/01/2012] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Our previous retrospective study indicated a good response rate of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) to transarterial infusion chemotherapy, but the precise effect remains unresolved. This prospective study enrolled 25 patients with stage III or IV or recurrent NSCLC without distant metastasis (M1b) who were not candidates for either standard chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. The feeding arteries of each tumor detected by angiography were recorded and tumor staining was visually graded on a scale of I-IV. Docetaxel and cisplatin (25 and 25 mg/m(2), respectively) were administered by arterial infusion. The total dose of each was divided among feeding arteries according to the degree of tumor staining. The end points included response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. Correlations between effects and some clinical aspects were investigated. Of 25 patients enrolled between May 2007 and April 2011, 24 of them were evaluable. One complete response and 12 partial responses were achieved for an overall response rate of 52% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 35-69%). The median progression-free survival and overall survival periods were 6.5 (95% CI: 5.4-7.6) and 17.4 (95% CI: 14.2-20.6) months, respectively. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 81% and 32%, respectively. Grade 3-4 hematological toxicity was not evident. Grade 3 general fatigue or appetite loss developed in patients with performance status (PS) ≥3. Neither grade 4 non-hematological toxicity nor treatment-related death occurred. Among various clinical aspects, ECOG PS significantly correlated with PFS and OS, whereas tumor staining significantly correlated with response. Survival was significantly better for patients with good PS (0 or 1) than poor PS (≥2) and those with, than without grade IV tumor staining. If a sufficient number of feeding arteries are detected and the tumor is appropriately stained, then arterial infusion chemotherapy has favorable response rates with less toxicity for patients with stage III or IV or recurrent NSCLC without distant metastasis (M1b) who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the combination chemotherapy using oral antimetabolite S-1 plus cisplatin (SP) with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (RT) followed by the consolidation SP for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer, 20 to 74 years of age, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 1 were eligible. The concurrent phase consisted of full dose S-1 (orally at 40 mg/m/dose twice daily, on days 1-14) and cisplatin (60 mg/m on day 1) repeated every 4 weeks for two cycles with RT delivered beginning on day 1 (60 Gy/30 fractions over 6 weeks). After SP-RT, patients received an additional two cycles of SP as the consolidation phase. RESULTS Fifty-five patients were registered between November 2006 and December 2007. Of the 50 patients for efficacy analysis, the median age was 64 years; male/female 40/10; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0/1, 21/29; clinical stage IIIA/IIIB 18/32; and adenocarcinoma/others 20/30. There were 42 clinical responses including one complete response with an objective response rate of 84% (95% confidence interval [CI], 71-93%). The 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 88% (95% CI, 75-94%) and 70% (95% CI, 55-81%), respectively. The median progression-free survival was 20 months. Of the 54 patients for safety analysis, common toxicities in the concurrent phase included grade 3/4 neutropenia (26%), thrombocytopenia (9%), and grade 3 esophagitis (9%) and febrile neutropenia (9%). In one patient, grade 3 pneumonitis was observed in the consolidation phase. There were two treatment-related deaths caused by infection in the concurrent phase. CONCLUSIONS SP-RT showed a promising efficacy against locally advanced NCSLC with acceptable toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard second-line chemotherapies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been established but have limited clinical relevance. S-1 is a recently developed agent with potential activity against NSCLC. METHODS Patients with confirmed NSCLC recurrence after previous single- or two-regimen chemotherapy with platinum, performance status of 0 to 1, adequate organ functions, and measurable lesions were treated with S-1 (60 mg/m/d, twice a day) on days 1 to 14 and gemcitabine (1000 mg/m) on days 8 and 15, which were repeated every 3 weeks until tumor progression. RESULTS Treatment was administered for a median of 4 courses (range, 1-13) over a median of 125-day period in 34 patients. The overall response rate was 23.5% (no complete response and eight partial response; 95% confidence interval: 9.1-38.0%). The median progression-free and overall survival times were 6.6 and 19.9 months, respectively. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 58.8 and 30.9%, respectively. Toxicity was mild during the entire treatment period, except for three grade 3 interstitial pneumonia. CONCLUSION The primary end point was met with the relatively high overall response rate. Randomized phase III studies for elucidating survival outcome of the regimen are warranted.

Abstract
Background: Current international guidelines recommend the use of platinum-based chemotherapy with thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) for patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Patients with unresectable stage IIIA or IIIB NSCLC were treated with nedaplatin (NP) at 50 mg m−2 and irinotecan (CPT) at 60 mg m−2 on days 1 and 8 every 4 weeks for two to four cycles with concurrent TRT (2 Gy per day, total 60 Gy). Results: All 35 patients were able to receive a total of 60 Gy. Adverse effects and events in chemotherapy with TRT were grade 3 or 4 anaemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, which occurred in 3.0%, 32.8% and 6.0% of patients, respectively. There was no grade 3 pneumonitis or oesophagitis. Adverse effects and events in chemotherapy alone were mild. There was no treatment-related death. An overall response rate was 94.3%. The median progression-free and overall survivals were 13.0 and 36.0 months, respectively. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 25.7% and 40.0%, respectively. Conclusion: NP and CPT treatment with concurrent TRT is effective and safe for patients with unresectable, locally advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
S-1, an oral 5-fluorouracil derivative, is effective against advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mild toxicity and synergistic effects with radiation in preclinical trials. In this phase I study, we evaluated the dose-limiting toxicity and recommended dose of S-1 for a future phase II study when administered concurrently with thoracic radiation (total dose of 60 Gy at 2 Gy per daily fraction) in elderly patients (>75 years old) with localized advanced NSCLC. S-1 was administered on days 1-14 and 29-42 at the following dosages: 60, 70, and 80 mg/m(2)/day. Twenty-two previously untreated patients were enrolled in this study. Dose-limiting toxicity included febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, stomatitis, and pneumonitis. One patient had grade 5 radiation pneumonitis. No other patient experienced radiation pneumonitis or esophagitis exceeding grade 2. The recommended dose for S-1 was determined to be 80 mg/m(2)/day, which produced an overall response rate of 75% (n=12). The median progression-free survival time was 11.5 months (95% confidence interval: 7.1-15.8 months) with a median follow-up time of 27.9 months. These results indicate that concurrent treatment with S-1 and thoracic radiation is a feasible option for NSCLC in the elderly. A phase II study is currently under way.

Abstract
PURPOSE To perform a Phase I study of preoperative chemoradiation (CRT) with S-1, a novel oral fluoropyrimidine, plus oxaliplatin in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose. METHODS AND MATERIALS Radiotherapy was delivered to a total of 45 Gy in 25 fractions and followed by a coned-down boost of 5.4 Gy in 3 fractions. Concurrent chemotherapy consisted of a fixed dose of oxaliplatin (50 mg/m2/week) on Days 1, 8, 22, and 29 and escalated doses of S-1 on Days 1-14 and 22-35. The initial dose of S-1 was 50 mg/m2/day, gradually increasing to 60, 70, and 80 mg/m2/day. Surgery was performed within 6±2 weeks. RESULTS Twelve patients were enrolled and tolerated up to Dose Level 4 (3 patients at each dose level) without dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 3 patients were enrolled at Dose Level 4, with 1 experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity of Grade 3 diarrhea. Although maximum tolerated dose was not attained, Dose Level 4 (S-1 80 mg/m2/day) was chosen as the recommended dose for further Phase II studies. No Grade 4 toxicity was observed, and Grade 3 toxicities of leukopenia and diarrhea occurred in the same patient (1 of 15, 6.7%). Pathologic complete responses were observed in 2 of 15 patients (13.3%). CONCLUSIONS The recommended dose of S-1 was determined to be 80 mg/m2/day when combined with oxaliplatin in preoperative CRT, and a Phase II trial is now ongoing.
