19 Who is the best candidate? Appears to be. The surgically staged patient who has had a sentinel LN biopsy and has only microscopically positive lymph nodes in the presence of an ulcerated primary melanoma

20 But..

21 Is Effectiveness of HDI Stage Dependent? Not in US Trials of HDI Trial/Yr Eligibility N Total # of Patients w/ micromet LN IFN Obs only E1684* 1996 IIB, III E IIB, III E IIB, III MD Anderson 2007 III Subgroup findings Major impact on patients with clinically evident lymph node positive disease Major impact on patients with lymph node + disease, particularly those with 2 3+ lymph nodes High-dose IFN was of the most benefit for patients with no lymph node involvement (IIB) (P=.01). Stage IIIA absolute increase in RFS of 9% (P=.09); P=.02 after adjustment for multiple variables Anaya DA, et al. Cancer. 2008;112:2030.

22 EORTC 18991: RFS in Stratified Subsets The result is internally consistent across relevant subgroups defined by baseline demographics and prognostic variables Herndon et al. Oncologist 2012;17:1323 Unpublished data presented to FDA ODAC, October 5, 2009

23 Conclusions Maximal benefit of PEG-IFN seen in patients with ulcerated N1 disease Pre-specified subset but not a prospective trial in that subset Needs to be validated in a prospective trial In the US it is approved for all stage III patients
