Abstract:
10035 Background: The Institute of Medicine and ASCO identified key research priorities to improve the evidence base of older adults with cancer, including the need for therapeutic phase II trials. Here we present a phase II study of nab-paclitaxel in older patients (pts) with MBC, incorporating geriatric oncology principles in the study design. Methods: Pts age ≥65 years with MBC and 0-1 chemotherapy (CT) lines received nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m 2 , 3 wks on, 1 wk off). Pts completed a geriatric assessment (GA) pre-CT including measures of function, comorbidity, cognition, nutrition, and psychosocial status. A CT toxicity (tox) risk score was calculated for each pt (Hurria et al. JCO 2011 and 2016). Relationships between tolerability (no. courses, hospitalizations, dose reductions, and grade (G) ≥3 tox attributed to CT) and risk score were assessed using generalized linear models, Student’s t tests, and Fisher’s exact test. Response rate (RR) and progression free survival (PFS) were evaluated. Results: 40 pts (mean age 73 [65-87]) were accrued from 06/12 to 01/16. Median no. of cycles was 6 [0-33] , RR was 35% (95% CI 21-52%) and PFS was 6.5 months (95% CI 5.5-NR). 58% (n = 23) of pts had G ≥ 3 tox and 30% (n = 12) were hospitalized due to CT. G 2/3 neuropathy and G 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 10% of pts (n = 4), with no cases of febrile neutropenia. Based on the CT tox risk score, 53% (n = 21), 38% (n = 15), and 10% (n = 4) were low, intermediate, and high risk. As a continuous variable, doubling in the risk score was associated with a reduction in courses completed of 4.5 (se = 1.4, p = 0.003). Lower mean log 2 risk scores were found in pts that did not require hospitalization (diff = -0.59, 95% CI -1.00, -0.18; p = 0.007), or did not have a dose reduction (diff = -0.46, 95% CI -0.85, -0.06; p = 0.02). G ≥ 3 tox was found in 38% of low, 73% of intermediate and 100% of high risk pts, with combined intermediate/high risk pts experiencing significantly more G ≥ 3 tox (OR 5.8, 95% CI 1.3-33.1; p = 0.01). Conclusions: This phase II trial of older pts with MBC receiving nab-paclitaxel incorporated geriatric principles in an oncology trial. Incorporating the GA and CT tox risk score can help weigh the risks and benefits of therapy in older adults. Clinical trial information: NCT01463072.
