to demonstrated futility vs nab-paclitaxel monotherapy upon completion of a protocol-specified interim analysis. Overall, 161 patients were randomized (nab-paclitaxel+CC-486, 81; nab-paclitaxel, 80). Baseline characteristics were balanced between arms. The median number of cycles was 4 for each arm, and the median nab-paclitaxel cumulative dose was 600 mg/m 2 and 800 mg/m 2 in the nab-paclitaxel+CC-486 and nab-paclitaxel arms, respectively. Rates of grade 3/4 (G3/4) treatmentemergent AEs were 59.5% and 54.4% for the combination and monotherapy arms, respectively. The most frequent hematologic G3/4 AEs were neutropenia (16.5% vs 10.1%) and anemia (1.3% vs 7.6%). G3/4 peripheral neuropathy was reported in 2.5% and 7.6% of patients, respectively. The addition of CC-486 to nab-paclitaxel did not improve ORR, DCR, PFS, or OS (Table). When assessed by Lung Cancer Symptom Scale, nab-paclitaxel monotherapy was associated with improvement in the global QoL, average symptom burden index, and lung cancer symptoms except for hemoptysis. Conclusion: The addition of CC-486 to nab-paclitaxel did not clinically benefit patients with previously treated NSCLC. However, single-agent nab-paclitaxel appears to be a promising therapy based on safety, efficacy, and QoL data. Updated efficacy and safety data will be presented. NCT02250326.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
