ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
TRC102, a small-molecule base-excision repair inhibitor, potentiates the cytotoxicity of pemetrexed and reverses resistance by binding to chemotherapy-induced abasic sites in DNA. We conducted a phase I clinical trial combining pemetrexed and TRC102 with cisplatin-radiation in stage III nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Fifteen patients were enrolled from 2015 to 2019. The primary objective was to determine the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of TRC102 in combination with pemetrexed, cisplatin, and radiotherapy. Secondary objectives were to assess toxicity, tumor response, and progression-free survival at 6 months. Based on our preclinical experiments, pemetrexed-TRC102 was given on day 1, and cisplatin/radiotherapy was initiated on day 3. This schedule was duplicated in the second cycle. After completion, two additional cycles of pemetrexed-cisplatin were given. Toxicities were assessed using NCI CTACAE versions 4/5.RESULTS:
The median age was 69 years (45-79) with the median follow-up of 25.7 months (range, 7.9-47.4). No dose-limiting toxicities and no grade 5 toxicity were seen. Hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities were the most common side effects. No clinical radiation pneumonitis was seen. Of 15 evaluable patients, three had complete response (20%), and 12 had partial response (80%). The 6-month progression-free survival was 80%, and the 2-year overall survival was 83%.CONCLUSIONS:
Pemetrexed-TRC102 combined with cisplatin/radiotherapy in NS-NSCLC is safe and well tolerated. The recommended phase II dose is 200 mg TRC102 along with cisplatin-pemetrexed. No additional safety signal was seen beyond the expected CRT risks. A phase II trial, integrating post-CRT immunotherapy with this aggressive DNA-damaging regimen, is warranted.
