Abstract
Molecular biomarker testing is increasingly becoming standard of care for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tissue and liquid biopsy-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) is now highly recommended and has become an integral part of the routine management of advanced NSCLC patients. This highly sensitive approach can simultaneously and efficiently detect multiple biomarkers even in scant samples. However full optimization of NGS in clinical practice requires accurate reporting and interpretation of NGS findings. Indeed, as the number of NSCLC biomarkers continues to grow, clinical reporting of NGS data is becoming increasingly complex. In this scenario, achieving standardization, simplification, and improved readability of NGS reports is key to ensuring timely and appropriate treatment decisions. In an effort to address the complexity and lengthy reporting of NGS mutation results, an Italian group of 14 healthcare professionals involved in NSCLC management convened in 2023 to address the content, structure, and ease-of-use of NGS reporting practices and proposed a standard report template for clinical use This article presents the key discussion points addressed by the Italian working group and describes the essential elements of the report template.

Abstract
e21116 Background: Osimertinib (OSI) is a potent irreversible EGFR TKI approved for 1st line therapy advanced EGFR+ NSCLC and for 2nd line T790M+ pts. The AURA trial showed promising results even in pts with T790M- NSCLC after no immediate prior OSI in locally advanced or metastatic EGFR+ NSCLC, T790M undetectable or unknown, after 1st line EGFR TKI and subsequent chemotherapy. Methods: This phase II trial was performed to investigate the role OSI in locally advanced or metastatic EGFR+ NSCLC, T790M undetectable or unknown, after 1st line EGFR TKI (1 or 2 generation) and subsequent chemotherapy. Eligible pts (M or F, > 18 years, ECOG 0-2) received OSI (80 mg/day) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Objective response rate (ORR) was the primary endopoint. Assuming a 10% attrition rate, 90 pts were planned to be enrolled according to the Optimal Simon’s 2 stage design. In the first stage, 32 pts were planned to be accrued, and if ≤ 3 responses were observed the study would be stopped. Otherwise, 49 additional pts were planned to be accrued. The null hypothesis would have been rejected if ≥ 12 responses were observed. This design yields a type I error rate of 0.05 and 80% power. Results: From May 2017 to October 2020, a total of 54 pts were enrolled (17 M and 37 F, mean age 66 years). The study was stopped early due to an extremely slow enrolment rate. However, the ORR of 31.5% (95% CI 19.5% - 45.5%) was significantly higher than the null hypothesis of 9% (p<0.0001). 17 pts obtained a partial response and 20 a stable disease with an overall disease control rate of 68.5%. Median PFS was 9 mos and median OS was 15 mos. Forty-one pts experienced at least 1 adverse event (51.8% treatment related), more than 90% Grade 1 or 2, the most common being diarrhea. Conclusions: Despite early termination and incomplete recruitment, the treatment with OSI in pts with undetectable or unknown T790M showed a significant ORR and a PFS in line with results in T790M+. Currently, OSI represents the preferred option in naïve pts with EGFR+ NSCLC, regardless of T790M status and for pts who progress the recommended subsequent therapies include local therapy, continuing OSI or chemotherapy; in this new scenario, our results confirm that OSI rechallenge in subsequent line after chemotherapy should be explored. This research was conducted with support from AstraZeneca. Clinical trial information: 2016-002555-17.

Abstract
5072 Background: Biomarkers to select mRCC patients most likely to benefit to immunotherapy are still needed. The retrospective multicentre Meet-URO-15 study evaluated the prognostic role of peripheral blood cells in mRCC patients treated with Nivolumab. Methods: Complete blood count was collected at the first four cycles of Nivolumab. The primary endpoint was median overall survival (mOS) according to baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Secondary analyses included bSII defined as platelet x NLR (cutoff = 1375) and ΔSII defined as the difference between SII at 2ndcycle and bSII (median used as cutoff = 383). Results: From October 2015 to October 2019, 470 patients started Nivolumab as 2nd(67%), 3rd(22%) and > 3rd(11%) line. Median age was 66 years, 71% were male and 83% had clear cell histology. Baseline IMDC group was favorable in 25%, intermediate in 63% and poor in 12%. Lymph-nodes, visceral and bone metastases were present in 54%, 91% and 36%. mOS and progression-free survival (PFS) were 34.8 and 7.5 months. Overall response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 30% and 61%. SII was available in 404 patients: SII < 1375 (82%) correlated with statistically significant improvement of PFS [10.2 vs 4.1 months, HR 2.06 (1.54-2.76), p< 0.001], OS [46.2 vs 9.5 months, HR 3.16 (2.23-4.49), p< 0.001], ORR (35% vs 21%, p= 0.035) and DCR (67% vs 40%, p< 0.001). ΔSII was available in 360 patients: ΔSII < 383 (75%) correlated with statistically significant improvement of PFS [11.3 vs 4.7 months; HR 1.64 (1.23-2.18), p= 0.001] and OS [NR vs 21.1 months; HR 1.76 (1.21-2.56), p= 0.003], ORR (37% vs 24%, p= 0.023) and DCR (68% vs 53%, p= 0.01). Multivariate analyses adjusted for IMDC group, line of therapy and metastatic sites, confirmed the statistically significant correlation of bSII and ΔSII with OS, PFS and DCR. Conclusions: Our study showed the statistically significant correlation of lower bSII and early ΔSII with longer OS, PFS and higher DCR in mRCC patients treated with Nivolumab.

Abstract
9004 Background. The RAMES Study (EudraCT Number 2016-001132-36) is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized phase II trial exploring the efficacy and the safety of the addition of ramucirumab to gemcitabine as the second-line treatment in MPM patients (pts) after platinum/pemetrexed regimens. Methods. The pts were assigned (1:1) to receive Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 i v on days 1 and 8 every 21 days with Placebo (Arm A) or Ramucirumab 10 mg/kg i v on day 1, of a 21-day cycle (Arm B), until tolerability or progressive disease. Pts was stratified by ECOG/PS (0-1 vs 2), age (≤ 70 vs > 70 yrs), histology (epithelioid vs non-epithelioid) and time to progression (TTP) after first-line therapy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Assuming a proportion of OS equal to 40% at 1 year in arm A, a 12% absolute improvement in OS at 1 yrs was expected in Arm B (hazard ratio = 0.70).114 events (156 subjects) are required for a one-sided log-rank test with α = 0.15 to have 80% power. Results. From December 2016 to July 2018, 164 pts were randomized, 81 pts in Arm A and 80 Arm B; 3 pts were randomized but not treated. Characteristics of pts were: median age 69 yrs (44-81), males 119 (73.9%), females 42 (26.1%); ECOG/PS0 96 (59.6%) ECOG/PS1-2 65 (40.4%); histotype epithelioid 132 (81.9%), non-epithelioid 29 (18.1%); stage III 98 (60.7%), stage IV 60 (37.3%), 3 (2.0%) missing; asbestos exposure assessed 80 (49.7%). Median of courses was 3.50 in Arm A and 7.50 in Arm B. OS was significantly longer in Arm B with median 13.8 mths (70% CI 12.7-14.4) vs Arm A with 7.5 mths (70% CI 6.9-8.9), HR 0.71 (70% CI 0.59-0.85, p = 0.057). OS at 6 and 12 mths was in Arm A 63.9% and 33.9%, and in Arm B 74.7% and 56.5%, respectively. In Arm B OS was not correlated to TTP at first-line therapy (13.6 mths in TTP ≤6 mths and 13.9 mths in TTP > 6 mths) and histotypes (13.8 months in the epithelioid and 13.0 months in non-epithelioid). No significant differences in thromboembolism G3-4 events were observed in Arm A vs Arm B (p= 0.64). None hypertension G3-4 was reported in Arm A vs 5 pts (6.3%) in Arm B (p= 0.022). No significant differences in G3-4 haematological toxicities between the two arms were reported. Conclusion: In the RAMES Study the addition of Ramucirumab to Gemcitabine significantly improved OS regardless of age of pts, tumor histotype and TTP at the first-line treatment. Gemcitabine plus Ramucirumab can be considered a manageable regimen in second-line treatment of advanced MPM pts. Clinical trial information: NTC03560973.

Abstract
Background In real-world practice, eribulin mesylate provides significant survival benefit, with a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods In this prospective, open-label, multicentre, observational study we evaluated the effectiveness and tolerability of eribulin as third-line treatment in a homogeneous population. The primary endpoints were the safety profile and response in metastatic sites; secondary endpoints included the response in different subtypes, overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results From 2013 to 2016, 118 women were treated in 21 Sicilian institutions; the median age was 58 years (range 29-79), with 69% of patients under 65. The median cycles of eribulin were 5.5 (range 1-26). The most common adverse event was neutropenia (9.3%, 3 cases of grade 3, 4 of grade 4); only 1 case of QT prolongation was reported. Eribulin was effective in controlling metastatic disease in all sites, and it achieved the highest ORR in brain (16%) and liver (14.9%). Median OS was 31.8 months (95% CI 27.9-34.4) and median PFS 5.5 months (95% CI 4.2-6.6). PFS was 5.2 months (95% CI 2.8-8.4) in patients with triple-negative subtype. Median PFS was longer in patients over 65 years (6.1 months, 95% CI 4.4-8.3). In patients who had visceral metastases PFS was 5.5 months (95% CI 95% 3.5-6.6) and OS 33.9 months (95% CI 29.8-40.8). Conclusions Eribulin as third-line treatment shows an acceptable safety profile and a substantial antitumour activity in the treatment of MBC, even in elderly patients and in those with visceral disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Brain metastases are an additional challenge in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) because most chemotherapy agents cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Nivolumab has demonstrated efficacy in patients with advanced squamous NSCLC, but because patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases are typically excluded from registration trials, 'field-practice' data are needed. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients in the Italian cohort of the Expanded Access Program (EAP) who had CNS metastases at baseline were analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients with CNS metastases received a median of six doses of nivolumab. Three patients (8%) had grade 3-4 adverse events and one patient discontinued due to an adverse event. The objective response rate was 19%. Median overall survival was 5.8 (95% confidence interval=1.9-9.8) months and median progression-free survival was 4.9 (95% confidence interval=2.7-7.1) months. CONCLUSION The safety and efficacy of nivolumab in patients with CNS metastases appear to be similar to those seen in the overall EAP cohort in Italy.

Abstract
8547 Background: Since MPM is an uncommon neoplasia, its rarity has limited available data on molecular drivers. Methods: RAMES study evaluated the second-line efficacy of gemcitabine/ramucirumab treatment vs. gemcitabine/placebo. From December 2016 to July 2018 (end of enrolment), 164 patients (pts) were admitted to this study, which involved the collection of tumor samples - with diagnosis - to evaluate 34 genes by NGS (ACTB, ACTG1, ACTG2, ACTR1A, BAP1,CDH8, CDK4, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, COL3A1, COL5A2, CUL1, DHFR, GOT1, KDR, KIT, MXRA5, NF2, NFRKB, NKX6,-2, NOD2, PCBD2, PDZK1IP1, PIK3CA, PIK3CB, PSMD13, RAPGEF6, RDX, SETDB1, TAOK1, TP53,TXNRD1, UQCRC1, XRCC6). We reported the results of the first 87 pts (54%): hystotype was epithelioid in 70 pts (80%), biphasic in 14 pts (16%) and sarcomatoid in 3 pts (4%). Median age was 63 years (range 45-81). 70 pts were male (80%) and 17 pts were female (20%). In the present analysis, we included 55 pts in stage III (63%), 26 pts in stage IV (30%) and 6 pts whose stage was unknown. Median first-line PFS platinum/pemetrexed therapy was for 5.75 months (I.C. 95% 4.75-6.76). PFS was ≤6 months for 40 pts (49%), and 6 months for 41 pts (51%). Results: 187 functional somatic mutations were identified. Genomic alterations/patient were 1 gene in 29 pts (33%), 3 genes in 18 pts (21%) and ≥5 genes in 2 pts (2%). The most frequent somatic mutations were RDX in 35 pts (40%), MXRA5 in 20 pts (23%), BAP1 in 13 pts (15%) and ACTG 1 in 9 pts (11%). When patients were collated by stage, the most frequent mutations were: MXRA5 in 16 pts in stage III (29%), BAP1 in 5 pts in stage IV (19%) and RDX in 16 pts in stage IV (62%). The percentage of somatic mutations in patients with PFS as first-line chemotherapy for ≤6 and >6 months was 2.2 and 1.6 (p=0.032), respectively. The most frequent mutations/patient for ≤6 and >6 months PFS were: RDX in 14 pts (35%) with PFS < 6, RDX in 19 pts (46%) with PFS >6 and MXRA5 in 11 pts (27%) with PFS >6. Conclusions: This preliminary data suggests a possible role that a genetic signature may play in distinguishing MPM with different clinical-pathological features. The results are expected to be clarified further in the second step of the study, which is ongoing. Clinical trial information: 2016-001132-36.

Abstract
e12565 Background: Eribulin Mesylate is a non taxane microtubule dynamics inhibitor, approved for heavily-pretreated MBC patients (pts). Methods: This is a multicenter, prospective, single arm study for E-treatment of third line in pretreated MBC pts, conducted in 14 oncology centers in Sicily. All pts had received two previous chemotherapy regimens for MBC. Pts received E at 1.23 mg/m2 on days 1,8 every 3 weeks until progression. Primary Endpoints: overall response rate (ORR) according to the site of metastases and safety. Secondary objectives: Progression-free survival (PFS) and ORR according to different subtypes. PFS curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariable logistic regression model were used to evaluate the associations of each variables with tumor response. ORR was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 and safety with CTCAE v4.0. Results: 122 pts were enrolled and received at least 1 dose of E. Median age was 58 (range 29-79). All received previously anthracycline and taxane based-therapies. Subtypes: Luminal A 69%, Luminal B 7%, HER2 enriched 4% and Triple Negative 20%. The most common metastatic sites were bone and liver; 67% had metastatic disease involving two or more organs. A median of 5 cycles of E (range 1-26) was administrated. 106/122 pts were evaluable for efficacy, all for safety. ORR was 48%. Exploratory subset analysis showed significantly higher ORR in the lung, liver and bone lesions compared to other site of metastases and in HER2 negative pts. Multivariable regression model showed that HER2 positive subtype was correlated with a poor response (odd ratio 6.7, 95% CI 1.2-36.5). The median PFS was 14.7 months (mos) (95% CI 7.2–25.7). Among pts with < 65 and ≥ 65 years, the median PFS was 14.7 and 25.7 mos, respectively. Most common toxicities: G2 diarrhea 1%, asthenia G1 4%, G2 neutropenia 6%, G1 neurotoxicity 5%, QT prolongation 1%, G4 mucositis in only one case. Conclusions: This study showed a significant improved of PFS with E in third line setting and a favorable safety profile compared with results reported in the pivotal trial. Our findings suggest that E has substantial antitumor activity when used early for the treatment for MBC with acceptable safety.

Abstract
3032 Background: Anti PD1 antibodies showed significant clinical activity in different cancer types. Recently, it was observed that cancers with higher somatic mutation burden, as tumors with genome instability due to DNA repair defects, develop more elevated anti PD1 induced neoantigen specific T cell reactivity which results into increased susceptibility to PD1 blockade. We hypothesize that NSCLC pts with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ERCC-1 gene, a key enzyme of DNA nucleotide excision repair pathway, may be more responsive to PD-1 blockade due to their genetic instability. Methods: We evaluated the rs11615 and rs3212986 ERCC1 SNPs by pyrosequencing analysis on tumor DNA of stage IIIb-IV previously treated NSCLC patients receiving Nivolumab (Nivo) 3 mg/kg q2w. To be eligible for this study, pts had to have a complete record of clinical and radiological parameters. Objective tumour response was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: Between Jul 2015 and Jan 2016, 45 NSCLC pts received Nivo. Pts characteristics were as follows: M/F = 37/8; median age (range) = 64 (38-80); ECOG PS, 0/1/2 = 33/9/3; Stage IIIb/IV = 8/37; sqNSCLC/non sq NSCLC = 11/34; current-former smokers/non-smokers = 40/5; EGFR status, mutant/wildtype/unknown = 4/35/6; median cycles (range) = 12 (1-28). Only two pts presented the rs11615 SNP. 16 pts were positive for the rs3212986 SNP. ORR for all pts was 26.6% (95% CI, 10 to 47). The ORR was significantly higher in NSCLC pts positive for the rs3212986 SNP than for wild-type NSCLC patients (62.5% vs. 6.9%. p = 0.0001). For all pts median PFS was 4.3 mos (95% CI, 1.2 to 7.4)and median OS not-reached. Among pts positive for the rs3212986 SNP, median PFS and OS were 8.2 mos and not-reached respectively. In contrast wild-type patients presented a median PFS of 3.1 mos (HR = 0.21 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.57; p = 0.02) and a median OS of 6.5 mos (HR = 0,403 95% CI = 0,131-1,237 p = 0.11). Multivariate analyses confirmed the effect of rs3212986 SNP after adjustment for age, PS, sex and disease stage for PFS. Conclusions: This study suggests that genetic instability due to tumor ERCC1 SNPs in advanced NSCLC pts may be of value to predict clinical benefit from Nivo.

Abstract
TPS9107 Background: Osimertinib (OSI), is an oral, potent, irreversible inhibitor of both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitizing and resistance mutations (T790M) indicated for the treatment of pts with advanced EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC. In the AURA study, OSI was associated with an ORR of 21% (13/61) among all patients with T790M negative mutation. Response rate broken down by immediate versus no immediate prior EGFR TKI was 11% (4/36 pts) versus 36% (9/25) respectively. This better activity with deferred OSI, drug able to inhibit also the EGFR sensitizing mutations, could be explained by a selection of sensitive tumor cells during chemotherapy (re-challenge strategy). Aim of the current study is prospective evaluate the efficacy of OSI in EGFR mutated, T790M “undetectable or unknown” patients as third-line therapy after a first-line EGFR TKI and a subsequent chemotherapy. Methods: OSIRIS study is a prospective single-arm, phase 2, open label, italian multicenter study. T790M “undetectable or unknown" is defined by the following conditions: inconclusive/negative tumor test result for T790M at the time of disease progression or medical inaccessible/contraindications/declined tumor biopsy or insufficient tumor tissue for testing. Pts are treated with OSI 80 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The single-arm design is appropriate, as there is no accepted standard therapy for these pts after chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is ORR according to RECIST version 1.1. The null hypothesis that the true response rate is 9% will be tested against a one-sided alternative. In the first stage, 32 pts will be accrued. If there are 3 or fewer responses in these 32 pts, the study will be stopped. Otherwise, 49 additional pts will be accrued for a total of 81. This design yields a type I error rate of 0.05 and power of 80% when the true response rate is 19%. Secondary endpoints are PFS, OS and safety. Exploratory: mutational analysis of a panel of genes involved in resistance to EGFR-TKIs is planned. Clinical trial information: 2016-002555-17.

Abstract
e11526 Background: Trastuzumab (T) is the standard of care for pts with HER2+ve BC. Relapse after adj T remains a rare event. Since the large use of T in adj setting, becomes crucial to evaluate advantages of retreatment with T for pts who relapsed after treatment in early stage. There is still lack of clinical evidence and poor data from CT to say that there is a benefit in T re-exposure after relapse following adj T. Methods: Since Jun 2006 and Dec 2011, we reviewed pts with early BC treated with T in adj therapy, relapsed and re-treated with T in first line therapy, in 10 departments of medical oncology in Sicily. We aimed to study feasibility, responses and treatment outcome. Results: 62 pts with HER2+ve fulfilled the criteria for this analysis and 47 were evaluated. Pts had a median age of 53 ys (29-79). ER/PgR-ve cases were 16 (34 %). Ki67 was > 20% in 34 pts (74%). 31 pts (64%) had >3 nodes+ve. All the pts received adj therapy with anthra+/-taxane. 55% of pts had >2 metastatic sites. 12 (25,5%) pts were revalued for HER2: 10 pts confirmed 3+ and two pts 2+ were FISH+. Median time from diagnosis to relapse was 25 mos (7 – 36). Median time from last dose of T to relapse was 10 ms (2 – 35). 33 (70,2%) pts and 14 pts (29,8%) had early (< 12 ms) and late progression (≥ 12 ms) respectively after adj T. First line of therapy was T in combination with mono/polychemotherapy in 42 pts (89,3%) and 5 pts (10,6%) respectively. 27 pts (57,4%) had objective responses (CR 5, PR 22) and 7 pts (14,8%) stable disease. 13 pts (27,6%) had progression: all of these pts had early progressive disease after adj T, 9 pts (69,2%) had Ki67>20%, 5 pts (38,4%) were ER/PgR-ve and 8 pts (61,5%) ER/PgR+ve. Median TTP was 4 mos (range 2-7). Median TTP for early and late relapses pts were respectively 3,7 and 4,8 mos, (p = 0,4). Median OS from relapse to death was 23 mos (r 12 – 37). LVSD G1 (EF < 60-50%) was observed only in 7 pts (14%). Conclusions: Our data confirm the feasibility and safety of treatment with T after adj T therapy and is active for a disease control rate in 72,4% of cases. These results demonstrate that relapses after adj T occurred early (<12 ms) in 70% of pts. However pts with primary resistance (27,6%) should be well categorized using biomolecular markers to receive up-front drugs that overcome the resistance to T.

Abstract
e18096 Background: Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) was used to create and validate a plasma proteomic algorithm VeriStrat (VS), based on 8 m/z peaks, and able to select advanced NSCLC pts who may benefit from EGFR TKIs. The algorithm was associated with PFS and OS of patients treated with EGFR TKIs and not with chemotherapy. Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) is of prognostic value for survival in non-small cell lung cancer. Aim of the current study was to analyze the OS and TTP in advanced NSCLC pts treated with erlotinib (E) according to baseline VeriStrat classification and baseline SUVs of FDG-PET. Methods: Plasma samples were collected before the beginning of E from metastatic NSCLC patients. Acquired spectra were classified according to the VeriStrat algorithm. The FDG-PET was performed the day before the beginning of E. Results: Thirty eight NSCLC pts on E therapy with the following characteristics were analyzed: median age 62 years old, 63% were males, 53% had adenocarcinoma histology, response rate was 26%, median OS 10 mos and (TTP) 3.4 mos. Twenty-six (68%) were classified as VS Good, 12 (32%) as Poor. TTP and OS for VS Good and Poor were 4.1 vs 2.1 mos (HR 0.86, log-rank p=0.6) and 11.1 vs 4.1 mos (HR 0.45,log-rank p=0.02), respectively. Baseline SUV levels were associated with TTP (Wilcoxon test p=0.001) but not with OS (all pts progressed, 5 still alive). All Poor classified pts had SUV ≥ 7 and had the worst TTP and OS; VS Good classified patients had worse TTP and OS if their baseline SUV level was > 7 than those who were VS Good and had SUV<7(see Table: 3-curves comparison log-rank test p value for a trend). Conclusions: We confirmed that pts with VS Poor classification have significantly shorter OS than those classified as VS Good. Pts with VS Good profile and with low baseline SUV levels may benefit more from EGFR TKI than VS Good pts with high SUV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pemetrexed-cisplatin chemotherapy is the standard of care in the first-line treatment of unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Second-line cytotoxic therapy is considered for a growing group of patients, but the optimal treatment has not been defined to date. Gemcitabine and vinorelbine have shown activity in the first-line setting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the activity and toxicity of the gemcitabine-vinorelbine combination in pemetrexed-pretreated patients with MPM. METHODS From January 2004 to September 2006, 30 consecutive patients who were pretreated with pemetrexed with or without a platinum-derivative were enrolled. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) and vinorelbine 25 mg/m(2) were administered intravenously on Days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. Treatment was repeated for a maximum of 6 cycles or until progression or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS A partial response was observed in 3 patients (10%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.1-26.5%), and 10 patients (33.3%; 95% CI, 17.3-52.8%) had stable disease after treatment. Overall, 13 patients (43.3%; 95% CI, 25.5-62.6%) achieved disease control. The median time to progression was 2.8 months (range, 0.6-12.1 months), and the median survival was 10.9 months (range, 0.8-25.3 months). Hematologic toxicity was acceptable, with grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurring in 11% of patients and thrombocytopenia occurring in 4% of patients; no case of febrile neutropenia was observed. Nonhematologic toxicity generally was mild. CONCLUSIONS The gemcitabine and vinorelbine combination was moderately active and had an acceptable toxicity profile in pemetrexed-pretreated patients with MPM. The role of second-line treatment in MPM needs to be evaluated in prospective trials in large series of patients who are stratified according to previous treatment and prognostic factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE This multicenter, phase II clinical study was conducted to evaluate the activity of the combination of pemetrexed and carboplatin in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). PATIENTS AND METHODS Chemotherapy-naive patients with measurable disease and adequate organ function, who were not eligible for curative surgery, received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 and carboplatin area under the plasma concentration-time curve of 5 mg/mL/min, administered intravenously every 21 days. All patients received folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation. Pemetrexed was provided within the Expanded Access Program. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were enrolled. An objective response was achieved in 19 patients (two complete and 17 partial responses), for a response rate of 18.6% (95% CI, 11.6% to 27.5%). Forty-eight patients (47.0%; 95% CI, 37.1% to 57.2%) had stable disease after treatment. Overall, 67 patients (65.7%) achieved disease control (95% CI, 55.6% to 74.8%). Median time to progression was 6.5 months; median overall survival time was 12.7 months. Compliance to treatment was excellent, with a relative dose-intensity of 97% for pemetrexed and 98% for carboplatin. Toxicity was mild, with grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurring in 9.7% of total cycles and grade 3 or 4 anemia occurring in 3.5% of total cycles. Nonhematologic toxicity was negligible. CONCLUSION Treatment with pemetrexed and carboplatin was active and well tolerated in patients with MPM. Disease control rate, time to disease progression, and overall survival were similar to the results achieved with the standard regimen of pemetrexed and cisplatin, suggesting that the carboplatin combination could be an alternative option for these patients.
