4 Introduction

5 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Sarcomas: Background and Incidence 1. NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology: Soft Tissue Sarcoma v.2.2008 2. Jemal A, et al. Ca Cancer J Clin. 2008;58:71-96.  Sarcomas are a diverse group of rare, mesenchymally derived tumors –> 50 histologic subtypes with varying behavior, prognosis, and response to treatment –15% of childhood cancers; 1% of adult malignancies [1] –< 1% of malignant tumors are sarcomas [2] –~ 12,700 new cases annually with ~ 5000 deaths [2] –Incidence likely underestimated –GIST added to tumor registry databases in 2001, represents ~ 5000 new cases annually [1] –Tumors typically reported by site of origin vs tissue of origin (mesenchymal)

6 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Risk Factors for Sarcomas  Most sarcomas arise without known predisposing factors or specific etiology –Sarcomas do not arise in preexisting benign tumors  Trauma  Chemicals –Dioxin, vinyl chloride, herbicides  Therapeutic irradiation [1]  Viral infection –Kaposi’s sarcoma  Immune disorders –Leiomyosarcoma in childhood AIDS –Postmastectomy angiosarcoma  Genetics –Neurofibromatosis –Li-Fraumeni syndrome [2] –Retinoblastoma [3] 1. Cormier JN, et al. CA Cancer J Clin. 2004;54:94-109. 2. Strong LC, et al. Am J Epidemiol. 1992;135:190-199. 3. Wong FL, et al. JAMA. 1997;278:1262-1267.

7 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Soft Tissue Sarcomas  Adult sarcomas are more common in soft tissue than bone –~ 50% in extremities, ~ 40% in trunk/retroperitoneum, ~ 10% head/neck [1] 1. National Cancer Institute, Treatment PDQ: Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma. 2. Toro JR, et al. Int J Cancer. 2006;119:2922-2930. Incidence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Subtypes (1978-2001) [2] Histologic Subtype% Leiomyosarcoma 23.9 “Malignant fibrous histiocytoma” 17.1 Liposarcoma 11.5 Dermatofibrosarcoma 10.5 Rhabdomyosarcoma 4.6 Angiosarcoma 4.1

8 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Sarcomas: Management  Multidisciplinary approach recommended due to rarity and heterogeneity –Pathologists, radiologists, oncologists, sarcoma-experienced surgeons –Treatment at specialized sarcoma centers lowers rates of recurrence and improves OS [1]  Pretreatment biopsy critical –Treatment choice depends on histology and grade  Poor prognostic factors –Age > 60 years –Tumor > 5 cm –High-grade histology [2] 1. Ray-Coquard I, et al. Ann Oncol. 2004;15:307-315. 2. National Cancer Institute, Treatment PDQ: Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

10 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas : Conventional Treatment Sarcomas: Conventional Treatment  Surgical resection with wide margins is standard therapy for patients with localized sarcomas  Postoperative radiotherapy recommended for high- or intermediate-grade tumors and those tumors with close or positive margins [1] –External-beam therapy, brachytherapy, or intensity- modulated radiotherapy Distant metastases remain problematic for ~ 50% of sarcoma patients [2] 1. Clark MA, et al. N Engl J Med. 2005;353:701-711. 2. Wunder JS, et al. Lancet Oncol. 2007;8:513-524.

11 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Chemotherapy for Localized Sarcomas  Chemotherapy, in addition to local therapy, is standard of care for rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma –These subtypes most common in children and young adults but can be seen throughout the age spectrum –Cure rates dramatically increased vs local therapy (up to 75% DFS at Yr 5) [1]  More frequent administration (Q2W vs Q3W) may improve EFS in patients with localized Ewing’s sarcoma [2] –Particularly in pts younger than 17 yrs of age 1. Wunder JS, et al. Lancet Oncol. 2007;8:513-524. 2. Womer R, et al. ASCO 2008. Abstract 10504. Reprinted with permission. P =.023 EFS (%) Years 0204060 0 100 75 50 25 Regimen Standard Intensive

12 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Chemotherapy for Localized Sarcomas  Chemotherapy not well defined for sarcomas other than rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma  Meta-analysis of 14 trials in common types of adult STS showed no significant OS benefit to doxorubicin-containing adjuvant chemotherapy despite RFS benefit –Subgroup analysis of meta-analysis revealed significant OS benefit in patients with sarcomas in extremities (P =.029) [1]  Phase III randomized study (N = 350) in resected, nonmetastatic STS showed no OS benefit to adjuvant chemotherapy and similar RFS in both arms [2] 1. Sarcoma Meta-Analysis Collaboration. Lancet. 1997;350:1647-1654. 2. Woll PJ, et al. ASCO 2007. Abstract 10008.

13 Advanced Sarcomas

14 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Treatment of Advanced Sarcomas  Standard first-line approach: doxorubicin/ifosfamide –“Dismal” response rates: 10% to 25% [1] –Substantial toxicities: cardiotoxicity, myelosuppression –Combined administration not superior to sequential dosing –Dose escalation and intensification do not improve survival  No consensus on second-line treatment, but several chemotherapeutic agents appear promising [2] 1. Ordóñez JL, et al. Semin Diagn Pathol. 2008;25:304-316. 2. Kopp HG, et al. Am J Clin Dermatol. 2008;9:207-217.

15 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas New Agents for Advanced Sarcomas Gemcitabine-Based Regimens  Gemcitabine as single agent shows modest activity [1]  Gemcitabine plus docetaxel –Leiomyosarcoma and HGUPS respond better than other sarcoma histologies [2,3] –Pts with ECOG PS 0 respond better than pts with PS 1  Phase II studies of gemcitabine/docetaxel yielded inconsistent results 1. Patel SR, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2001;19:3483-3489. 2. Hensley ML, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2002;20:2824-2831. 3. Maki RG, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2007;25:2755-2763. 4. Duffaud F, et al. ASCO 2008.

37 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Summary  Sarcomas are a diverse group of rare mesenchymally derived tumors –Most risk factors or specific etiologies unknown –More common in soft tissue than bone –Poor prognosis conferred by age > 60 yrs, tumor > 5 cm, and high-grade histology  Multidisciplinary management approach recommended  Sarcoma-specific death postsurgery can be predicted using nomogram

38 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Summary  GIST is a distinct entity that has served as a paradigm for targeted therapy  Conventional treatment for non-GIST sarcomas –Low-grade STS: surgery alone –High- or intermediate-grade tumors: surgery + radiotherapy –Adjuvant chemotherapy only appropriate for rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma –No consensus on second-line therapy

39 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Integrating Novel Approaches Into Multidisciplinary Treatment of Sarcomas Summary  New agents –Gemcitabine-based regimens have activity in STS –Trabectedin most effective in myxoid liposarcoma, also demonstrates benefit in leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and synovial sarcoma  Targeted agents –TKIs imatinib and sunitinib approved for advanced GIST –Sorafenib (TKI) efficacy varies by subtype –HSP inhibitor retaspimycin promising in phase I results –Deforolimus (mTOR inhibitor, now called ridaforolimus) active in phase II results –Bevacizumab (VEGF inhibitor) possibly active in combinations –IGF-1R inhibition promising
