Prognostic Factors for MPM in 2012
• Two Major well studied and validated scoring systems are those from CALGB and from EORTC, both derived from phase II chemotherapy trial data in this disease.
• CALGB treated 337 patients over a 10 year period. The MST ranged from 3.9-9.8 months with 1 year survival between 14% and 50%
Prognostic Factors for MPM in 2012 (Cont.)
• Six prognostic subgroups were generated from the CALGB data base with MST of 1.4-13.9 months The latter had patients with ECOG 0, age <49 years, and Hb =/>146. The worst MST was seen in patients with ECOG 1 or 2 and WBC >15.6
• Older age, worse PS, non-epithelial histology, chest pain, weight loss, low HB, high platelet or WBC and high LDH all predict for shorter survival
Prognostic Factors for MPM in 2012 (Cont.)
• The EORTC had data on 204 adults with MPM treated on 5 phase II trials over 9 years. The overall MST was 8.4 months
• Poor prognosis was associated with a poor PS, high WBC, probable/possible histologic diagnosis of MPM, male gender, and sarcomatoid subtype
• They ended up with 2 prognostic groups with 1 year survival rates of 40% in the good risk group and 12% in the poor risk group.
Prognostic Factors in MPM in 2012 (Cont.)
• MRSP levels may be prognostic• The presence or absence of specific or groups of
genes may be prognostic• There are specific prognostic factors in patients
undergoing surgery for MPM. • 183 patients from Harvard had EPP and they
concluded epithelial histology, negative resection margins and no extrapleural nodes were all important for good prognosis with proven longer survival
Prognostic Factors in MPM in 2012 (Cont.)
• PET standard update value (SUV) is also important with an SUV >4 predicting a poor prognosis in MPM.
• Other factors are also under study.
Radiologic Measurement of MPM in 2012
• It is very difficult to assess response or progression in this disease on imaging
• Standard RECIST works poorly.• A Modified RECIST technique was suggested
using the same criteria for response or progression but multiple measurements on 3 separate CT sections with a minimum axial separation of 1 cm in which these measurements extend perpendicular to the chest wall or mediastinum
Radiologic Measurement of MPM in 2012 (Cont.)
• The modified RECIST measures tumour thickness on CT and has worked reasonably well in a number of chemotherapy studies but still only large changes in thickness can be detected.
• Automated and semi automated measurement methods are desirable
• Tumour volume techniques will be better

Active Studies for Advanced MPM (Cont.)
• A Phase IB, open label, multicenter study to investigate the effect of Oral LBH589 (HDAC) on dextromethorphan, a CYP2D6 substrate, and to assess the efficacy and safety of LBH589 in Patients with Advanced or metastatic NSCLC or MPM
• 24 patients with PK component will be studied
