Real-world safety and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) of lurbinectedin (lurbi) in patients (pts) with small cell lung cancer (SCLC): Jazz EMERGE 402 updated analysis.

e23266 Background: Lurbi monotherapy received approval in multiple countries, including accelerated US FDA approval and conditional Health Canada approval for adults with metastatic (US) or stage III/metastatic (Canada) SCLC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, based on a phase 2, open-label, single-arm trial (Trigo et al, Lancet Oncol 2020). Jazz EMERGE 402 (NCT04894591) is a phase 4 observational study assessing the effectiveness, safety profile, and HCRU of lurbi in pts with extensive-stage SCLC treated in real-world clinical settings. Here, we report updated safety data and HCRU. Methods: This study is enrolling pts with extensive-stage SCLC treated with lurbi according to the local approved label in the US and Canada. Results: Enrollment is ongoing with a target of 300 pts. Between 28JUN2021 and 27DEC2022, 105 pts were enrolled and followed for ≥6 months after the first dose of lurbi (data cutoff: 27JUN2023). The median (range) age was 67 (44-87) years; 72 (69%) pts had prior immunotherapy; 22 (21%) had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≥2; and 25 (24%) had central nervous system involvement. All pts received ≥1 cycle of lurbi; 56 (53%) as second-line (2L) and 37 (35%) as third-line (3L) therapy. The median (range) number of lurbi cycles was 4 (1-31) and the median (range) duration of exposure was 97 (21-694) days. Dose modifications occurred in 27 (26%) pts, with 17 (16%) requiring dose reductions. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was administered in 43 (41%) pts (34 [79%] as primary and 7 [16%] as secondary prophylaxis; 2 [5%] were unknown). At the time of data extraction, lurbi treatment was ongoing in 11 (10%) pts and 23 (22%) pts received subsequent anticancer therapy after lurbi. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 40 (38%) pts and treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) in 13 (12%) pts. The most common TRAEs were anemia (n = 13, 12%), neutropenia (n = 10, 10%), nausea (n = 8, 8%), and fatigue (n = 7, 7%). Thirty-six pts were hospitalized for a median (interquartile range [IQR]) duration of 10 (4, 18) days (Table). No pts were hospitalized on the first day of treatment; 4 pts were hospitalized during the first 21-day cycle. The most common reasons for hospitalization were pneumonia (n = 10, 28%) and sepsis (n = 6, 17%; one was an SAE). Conclusions: In this phase 4 study, lurbi was well tolerated, with low rates of HCRU and a safety profile generally consistent with that reported in the phase 2 trial.
