摘要
BackgroundAdjuvant treatment in resected stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is generally not recommended. Pazopanib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1/2/3 and PDGFR-α/β. We explored the feasibility and efficacy of adjuvant pazopanib in this population.Patients and methodsIn this double-blind phase II/III trial, patients with resected stage I NSCLC were randomized to placebo or pazopanib 800 mg/day (P800) for 6 months with a two-step Fleming design. The primary endpoint was compliance (percentage of patients receiving ≥3 months pazopanib). From the interim analysis after 64 patients were included, the IDMC recommended reducing to pazopanib 400 mg/day (P400) due to insufficient compliance, with a one-step Fleming. Although unplanned, survival data were analyzed.ResultsA total of 71 patients were enrolled in each arm; 61% were male, 91% were smokers, median age was 60 years, 80% had pathological stage IA, and 16% had squamous cell carcinoma. Pazopanib compliance was 38% [95% confidence interval (CI) 23–55] with P800, increasing to 69% (95% CI 50–84; P = 0.027) with P400. Two patients had grade 4 toxicities with P800. The most common grade 3 toxicities were increased transaminases (16%), hypertension (13%), and diarrhea (9%) with P800, and gastrointestinal disorders (16%; 6% diarrhea) and hypertension (6%) with P400. Median follow-up was 47 months. Three-year recurrence-free survival was 76% (95% CI 65%–86%) with pazopanib and 83% (95% CI 74%–92%) with placebo [hazard ratio = 1.3 (95% CI 0.6–2.7), P = 0.53]. Five-year overall survival was 83% (95% CI 72–94) with pazopanib and 94% [95% CI 88–100] with placebo [hazard ratio = 1.8 (95% CI 0.6–5.5), P = 0.26].ConclusionsIn resected stage I NSCLC patients adjuvant 400 mg/day pazopanib but not 800 mg/day was feasible, although possibly infra-therapeutic and failed to improve relapse-free survival.
