Abstracts Journal of Thoracic Oncology • Volume 12 Issue S1 January 2017 mesothelin, a cell surface glycoprotein that may have a role in cell adhesion and metastases, is seen in several epithelial cancers and has recently been assessed in adenocarcinoma of the lung using immunohistochemistry. The intensity of staining and the percentage of cells expressing mesothelin in the report was blinded for molecular data and outcome. Mutations of EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, AKT1, PIK3CA and HER2 were assessed by pyrosequencing; HER2 amplification and ALK translocation were assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Of the advanced lung adenocarcinomas, 53% expressed mesothelin to some degree. High mesothelin expression, defined as mesothelin positivity in more than 25% of cells, was found in 24% of patients. High mesothelin expression was associated with a worse survival (median 18.2 months vs. 32.9 months; P = 0.014) and with wild-type EGFR, and was strongly associated with mutant KRAS. The increased understanding of the tumour promoting activities of KRAS mutations, and the association with biomarkers, provides novel insights that will facilitate targeting of these tumours with novel agents in the future. SESSION SC28: NOVEL CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGNS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2016 - 11:00-12:30 SC28.04 ADAPTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL DESIGNS Vassiliki Papadimitrakopoulou Thoracic/Head & Neck Medical Oncology, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston/TX/ United States of America Interest in adaptive design study methods stems from the principle that these methods hold promise for improving drug development compared to conventional study design (i.e., non-adaptive) methods. The theoretical advantages of adaptive designs are that (1) they provide similar information more efficiently by reducing sample size and total cost, (2) increase the likelihood of success on the study objective, treating more patients with more effective treatments or (3) lead to better improved appreciation of the effects of therapy such as dose-response relationship or subgroup effects, for example identifying efficacious drugs for specific subgroups of patients based on their biomarker profiles, which may also lead to more impactful subsequent studies). Adaptive designs use accumulating data to modify the ongoing trial without undermining the integrity and validity of the trial. They also hold the potential for shortening the time for drug development. Several aspects of these trials including the dose-finding scheme, interim analysis, adaptive randomization, biomarker-guided randomization, and seamless designs will be discussed. Many, but not all adaptive designs are devised under the Bayesian framework incorporating principles such as (I) obtaining the prior distribution; (II) collecting data to calculate the data likelihood; and then (III) computing the posterior distribution. The Bayesian framework provides an ideal statistical framework for adaptive trial designs (1, 2). Examples of trials conducted with adaptive designs include the BATTLE and BATTLE-2 trials and ISPY-2. The basic principle is that patients enrolling earlier in a trial are used to inform how subsequent patients are treated, thus improving the efficiency of the study; this means that fewer patients are required to achieve the same answers regarding safe dosing and/or efficacy. The BATTLE and BATTLE-2 trials are prime examples of this approach. Both trials have implemented adaptive randomization schemes to assign patients to the more efficacious treatments based on their biomarker-guided profiles, and use interim analyses to monitor the efficacy outcomes during the trial. The BATTLE trial (3, 4) enrolled patients with stage IV recurrent non-small cell lung cancer, employing a primary endpoint of eight-week disease control rate, as a binary outcome. Four targeted therapies, erlotinib, vandetanib, erlotinib plus bexarotene, and sorafenib, were evaluated, with one therapy targeting each one of four biomarker profiles and it used an adaptive randomization scheme to allocate patients to the different treatments; hence, patients had higher probabilities of being assigned to better treatments based on their biomarker profiles. The trial showed that adaptive design could work in a complex trial that assessed multiple drugs and biomarkers and required tissue collection and biomarker analysis. Based on the findings of the BATTLE trial, a follow-up BATTLE-2 trial (5) was started, that evaluated four treatment regimens, erlotinib, sorafenib, erlotinib + MK2206, and MK2206 + AZD6244, in a two-stage design with adaptive randomization. The first stage was completed with 200 patients. Biomarker selection was planned in 3 steps: training, testing and validation. In the training step, 10–15 potential prognostic and predictive markers were selected from the previous BATTLE experience, cell line data, and relevant literature information. In the testing step, the selected markers are tested using the data acquired from stage 1 of the BATTLE-2 trial. In the validation step, the markers selected in the first stage of the BATTLE-2 trial are used for adaptive randomization in the second stage of BATTLE-2. In BATTLE-2, we pre-specified an extremely limited set of markers and our intent was to use the first half of the study (200 patients) to conduct prospective testing of biomarkers/gene signatures. Predictive markers were to be used to guide patient assignments in the second half of the study. Although the design theoretically provided advantages, since clear predictive markers did not exist for any of the treatment Arms, activity was modest yielding no new predictive markers and not warranting further exploration. The ISPY-2 trial (6) is a multicenter phase II trial in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with breast cancer. The primary end point is pathologic complete response (PCR) at the time of surgery. The patient population is partitioned into ten subgroups depending on hormone-receptor (HR) status, HER2 status and Mamma Print signature. Experimental drugs are added to neoadjuvant therapy with the overall goal to prospectively learn as efficiently as possible which patients respond to each experimental treatment based on their biomarker profiles. Adaptive randomization with interim analysis is used within each biomarker subgroup, with the treatments that are performing better within a subgroup being assigned with greater probability to patients belonging to that subgroup. The phase II drug-screening stage is followed by a phase III confirmatory stage. The ISPY-2 trial has recently shown that two promising drugs improve response rates in specific biomarker subsets and has graduated these two drugs veliparib and neratinib for further development (7). The pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies are therefore very interested in adaptive designs because of their potential advantages and because they reflect medical practice in the real world. To recapitulate, incorporation of adaptive designs in carefully designed and executed trials can enhance drug development, provide greater benefit to the enrolled patients, and effectively address many research questions of interest. These designs require deep understanding of theoretical statistical methodology, extensive modeling with simulations, specialized software and robust databases. Continued implementation in trials with guidance from regulatory agencies and innovative methods will contribute towards progress in therapies. 1.Berry DA. Bayesian clinical trials.

Whereas costs of procurement and out-of-pocket expenditures vary from country to country, the MCB, as derived from well-designed clinical trials, is a relative constant. Consequently, meaningful discussion of value and relative value are predicated on an understanding of the MCB. MCB in this context refers to the added benefit, usually compared to a control (the best current standard care). Until recently there was no standard tool for grading the MCB of cancer therapies, which may range from trivial (median progression-free survival advantage of only a few weeks) to substantial (improved long term survival). Recognising the S72 Journal of Thoracic Oncology • Volume 12 Issue S1 January 2017
Abstracts Journal of Thoracic Oncology • Volume 12 Issue S1 January 2017 importance of presenting clear and unbiased statements regarding the MCB from new therapeutic approaches derived from high quality clinical trials the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) has developed a validated and reproducible tool to assess the MCB for cancer medicines, the ESMO MCB Scale (ESMO-MCBS). This tool uses a rational, structured and consistent approach to derive a relative ranking of the magnitude of clinically meaningful benefit that can be expected from a new anti-cancer treatment. The ESMO-MCBS is an important first step to the critical public policy issue of value in cancer care, helping to frame the appropriate use of limited public and personal resources to deliver cost effective and affordable cancer care. The ESMO-MCBS v1.0 [1]has been developed and validated for solid cancers. The tool is presented in two parts. Form 1 is used to evaluate adjuvant and other treatments with curative intent. Form 2 (a, b or c) is used to evaluate non-curative interventions, with form 2a for studies with OS as the primary outcome, form 2b for studies with PFS or TTP as primary outcomes, 2c for studies with QoL, toxicity or response rate as primary outcomes and for non-inferiority studies. Form 2a is prognostically sub-stratified for studies where the control arm produced OS greater or less than or equal to 1 year, and form 2b is stratified for studies where the control arm PFS is 6mth. Version 1.0 can be applied to comparative outcome studies evaluating the relative benefit of treatments using outcomes of survival, QoL, surrogate outcomes for survival or QoL (DFI, EFS, TTR, PFS and TTP) or treatment toxicity in solid cancers. Eligible studies can have either a randomised or comparative cohort design or a meta- analysis which report statistically significant benefit (P>0.05, upper limit of 95 th percentile for HR
