Background
Customization is feasible in adjuvant setting (tissue availability). SCAT trial has completed planned recruitment with 500 p. For resected NSCLC with nodal involvement adjuvant platinum-based CT improves outcomes but survival remains suboptimal. Compliance may be a key issue for efficacy in adjuvant setting. mRNA BRCA1 levels are prognostic in early NSCLC and could be a predictive marker for CT activity. In advanced disease patients with low BRCA1 benefit from cisplatin doublets meanwhile p with high levels attained longer survival with taxanes.Methods
Phase III trial testing 4 cycles non-selected vs customized adjuvant CT. Entry criteria: NSCLC, R0 resection, pN1 or pN2, KI > 70, recovered from surgery, adequate hematologic, renal and liver functions, no prior CT or RT, age > 18 y, informed consent. Stratification: N1 vs N2, histology (squamous vs non-squamous), resection (lobectomy vs pneumonectomy). Central lab mRNA BRCA1 levels and quartile distribution. Primary end-point: OS. Secondary end-points: DFS, toxicity, recurrence pattern. Design: R: 1:3. Control treatment: Cis-Docetaxel (CD). Experimental arm: Q1: Cis-Gemcitabine (CG); Q2-3: Cis-Docetaxel; Q4: Docetaxel (D).

Background
Although UFT is approved in eastern countries, most guidelines do not recommend any adjuvant treatment in resected Stage I NSCLC. Pazopanib (P) is a potent, orally active multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1, -2, -3, platelet derived growth factor (PDGFR) type-α and –β, approved in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and sarcoma. Neoadjuvant P demonstrated single-agent activity in patients with early stage NSCLC. We report the feasibility and tolerance of adjuvant P in stage I NSCLC.Methods
In this double-blind randomized multicenter phase II/III trial, completely resected patients (pts) with stage I NSCLC (7[th] TNM edition) were randomized to receive either placebo or P 800 mg/d during 6 months. The Fleming’s two stage phase II primary endpoint was compliance (i.e. % of pts able to receive at least 3 months of P, whatever the dose). After 64 pts included (interim analysis), IDMC recommended to start with P 400 mg/d because of initial insufficient compliance. A one-step Fleming design was used with the new dose. Phase II design was not comparative.Results
143 pts were randomized in 29 centers between March 2009 and August 2012, 71 and 72 in the placebo and P arms respectively. Most pts were male (61%) and smokers (91%), median age was 60. Pathological stage was IA in 111 pts (78%) and 16% were squamous cell carcinomas. Compliance for P800 was adequate in 38% (95% confidence interval [21-56]) vs. 87% [71-96] in placebo; for P400 in 69% [50-84] (p=0.01, compared to P800) vs. 93% [77-99] in placebo. Dose modifications were seen in 44% and 34% of P800 and P400 groups. The proportion of patient with at least one grade 3/4 toxicity was 53% [35-71] in P800 (13% [4-29] for placebo) and 38% [21-56] in P400 (27% [12-46] for placebo). No toxic deaths were observed. Only 2 pts has grade 4 toxicities in P800 (fatigue in P arm, GGT in the placebo arm). Most common toxicities G3 in P800 were diarrhea (9%), hypertension (9%), and increased transaminases (16% vs. 0% in P400); in P400 gastro-intestinal disorders (16%, 6% diarrhea) and hypertension (6%).Conclusion
IFCT-0703 is the first feasibility study demonstrating that full dose of P is safe but not feasible in the adjuvant setting in NSCLC. Compliance and tolerance with reduced dose appeared acceptable for adjuvant settings.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO08.03 - Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer after Thoracoscopic versus open Lobectomy. (ID 1569)
16:15 - 17:45 | Author(s): T. Schytte, E. Jakobsen, P. Licht
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
In general thoracoscopic lobectomy (VATS) is considered being associated with advantages compared to conventional thoracotomy when it comes to postoperative outcomes such as pain, duration of hospitalization and overall complications. It is also believed that a reduction in these complications leads to better patient compliance with adjuvant chemotherapy. However, this assumption is based on single-institution case-control studies and selection bias is possible. This is a study on the differences in patient compliance with adjuvant chemotherapy following lobectomy by VATS or thoracotomy. Data are obtained from a complete national registry on lung cancer patients.Methods
To investigate if the surgical approach alone had an impact on patient compliance to adjuvant chemotherapy we investigated patients who underwent lobectomy for clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer. The patient population in this study had; however, unsuspected nodal involvement and adjuvant chemotherapy was indicated. Patients were analyzed for type of adjuvant chemotherapy as well as failure to begin or complete full treatment. A clinical oncologist who was blinded for surgery approach reviewed all patient files in order to investigate the data on chemotherapy.Results
From 2007-2011 lobectomy for clinical stage 1 disease was performed in a total of 1513 patients by VATS (N=718/ 47.5%) or thoracotomy (N=795/ 52.5%). Unsuspected nodal disease was diagnosed in 278 (18.4%) patients, 11 patients were excluded. They had either distant metastasis or radiotherapy due to nonradical resection. This left 267 patients for further analyses, adjuvant chemotherapy was delivered to 155 (58.1%) and 98 (36.7%) completed 4 cycles as planned. There was no significant difference in patient compliance with chemotherapy and surgical approach (p=0.35). Survival was significantly influenced by comorbidity, histology and compliance with chemotherapy (p<0.001) in a Cox proportional hazard analysis; Survival was not influenced by sex, age or surgical approach.Conclusion
In this study with complete national data we did not confirm the assumption that patient compliance with adjuvant chemotherapy was better after thoracoscopic lobectomy compared to conventional lobectomy. Survival was significantly influenced by compliance with chemotherapy but not surgical approach.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Most patients with early-stage lung cancer will die of recurrent disease despite multimodality therapy with curative intent. KRAS is the most commonly mutated oncogene in lung adenocarcinomas, and patients with resected disease are a unique population amenable to a personalized clinical trial approach. GI4000 is a vaccine created from whole, heat killed recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, overexpressing KRAS Q61L plus Q61(R or H) and either a G12C, G12D, G12V, or G12R mutation. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and immunogenicity of the GI4000 vaccine in patients with KRAS-mutant lung cancers and to compare the outcomes of patients to matched controls.Methods
Patients with Stage I-III KRAS-mutant lung cancers who completed curative therapy were enrolled. Each patient was routinely administered the genotype-matched vaccine from the GI4000 series subcutaneously starting 1-4 months after standard treatment completion: weekly x 3, monthly x 6 and every 3 months for a total of 3 years (19 doses). KRAS-antigen T-cell response was assessed by interferon-γ ELISpot assay in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The study was powered to detect an immune response rate of ≥25% (N=24 patients). A comparison group matched for age, sex, KRAS genotype and stage was used to compare recurrence and survival using the Kaplan-Meier method with a hazard ratio for survival adjusted for age, sex and stage.Results
In 28 months, 33 patients were screened and 24 patients enrolled. The study met its primary endpoint with 63% of evaluable patients (50% of all patients) developing an antigen-specific immune response. 19 patients had evaluable baseline samples, 9/13 with a negative response at baseline developed a treatment emergent response and 3/6 with a pre-existing baseline response had an increased response over baseline that met pre-specified immunologic criteria. There were no treatment-related Grade 3/4 or severe AEs. The median number of vaccinations received was 15 (range 1-19). 1 patient withdrew consent due to local injection site reaction and 2 died of recurrent disease during study. The baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of the trial patients and a group of matched controls is presented in the Table below.GI4000 vs. Matched controls GI4000 N=24 N(%) Matched controls N=64 N(%) Stage I II III _____ 12 (50) 5 (21) 7 (29) _____ 42 (66) 2 (3) 20 (31) Age at diagnosis (median) 63 66 Sex Male Female _____ 7 (29) 17 (71) _____ 21 (33) 43 (67) Recurrence free survival per year 1 2 3 _____ 86% 68% 60% _____ 85% 71% 69% Overall survival per year 1 2 3 _____ 100% 100% 92% _____ 93% 88% 83% Hazard ratio for survival (p-value) 0.58 (0.29) Conclusion
The GI4000 vaccine is safe, feasible and immunogenic after completion of curative-intent therapy in patients with KRAS-mutant lung cancers. Recurrence rates are equivalent but overall survival trends favorably when compared to matched controls. Exploratory analysis of survival in the immune responders versus matched controls is underway. A randomized study with prospective biomarker analyses is warranted.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

- Abstract

Background
Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is extensively received due to its extension of the time to recurrence and enhancement of survival rate in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it has reached the plateau at current, the beneficial cases are few, and drug-resistance and over-treatment phenomena are present in most of patients, hence it is necessary to seek a new postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy to improve the survival rate. Angiogenesis is one premise of malignant tumors to occur, develop and metastasize, but vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important tumors in the process of neovascularization. Under normal conditions, VEGF is hardly expressed in a lot of normal tissues in vivo, while highly expressed in the tumors like osteosarcoma, bladder cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Recombinant human endostatin (endostar) can significantly intervene the angiogenesis-promoting effect to block the nutritional supply of tumors and inhibit tumor proliferation or metastasis. We compare the curative effect of endostar plus adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy alone in the treatment of patients with completely resected NSCLC at stage IB-IIIA.Methods
This is an open, multicenter, randomized (1:1) study, stratified by gender, stage and histology. Completely resected pts (stage IB to IIIA) were randomized to receive adjuvant NP plus Endostar (Vinorelbine 25mg/m2 on d1 and d8 plus Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on d1, and iv plus Endostar 7.5mg/m2 per day iv for consecutive 14 days. Every 21 days as one cycle for 4 cycles) or NP regimen alone. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary endpoints included tumor response rate, overall survival and safety.Results
250 pts (1:1) were included between 07/2007 and 06/2009. Two arms were well-balanced with regard to age, gender, histology, staging, and resection type. The follow-up time is 42 months. The two groups had no significant difference in the incidence of toxicity reaction. Endostatin plus NP can prolong the DFS of patients with complete resectable NSCLC at stage IIIA (19.33±3.73m vs 17.10±9.68m) with high security, but no statistical difference. Cases with high expression of VEGF showed a better DFS than cases with low expression in Endostatin plus NP group (48.45±3.52m vs 40.18±4.54m, P < 0.05). The level of peripheral circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in NSCLC patients is significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers. EPCs level was associated with NSCLC stage. The EPCs levels after treatment significantly decreased than that before treatment (P=0.014) in beneficiaries of NP or NP plus with endostar. The time to progression (TTP) was longer in patients with lower levels of EPCs (<0.35%) before chemotherapy or endostatin treatment (P<0.001).Conclusion
This preliminary result showed vascular targeted therapy in postoperative adjuvant therapy of lung cancer has a good application prospect. VEGF and EPCs play important roles in the development of lung cancer. Deep studies should be taken for the other related molecular targets in the future.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO08.07 - Randomized controlled phase III trial of adjuvant chemo-immunotherapy with activated killer T cells and dendritic cells in patients with resected primary lung cancer. (ID 665)
16:15 - 17:45 | Author(s): H. Kimura, Y. Matui, A. Ishikawa, T. Nakajima, M. Yoshino, Y. Sakairi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
We conducted a phase III randomized controlled study to investigate the efficacy of post-surgical adjuvant chemo-immunotherapy using activated killer T cells and dendritic cells (AKT-DC) obtained from regional lymph nodes of lung cancer patients. The target of immunotherapy is the residual micrometastases after surgery and the resistant clones to chemotherapy.Methods
Between April 2007 and July 2012, 103 patients with post-surgical non-small cell lung cancer were randomly assigned to receive either chemo-immunotherapy (group A) or chemotherapy (group B). Immunotherapy was consisted of adoptive transfer of autologous activated killer T cells and dendritic cells (AKT-DC) obtained from regional lymph nodes of lung cancer patients. The primary end point of this study was overall survival. Secondary end points were recurrence free survival, toxicity, and adverse effects of immunotherapy.Results
Two and five years over all survival were 93.4% and 81.4% in group A and 66.0% and,48.3% in group B respectively. The difference was statistically significant (log-rank test p=0.0005, generalized Wilcoxon test p=0.0005) in favor of chemo-immunotherapy group A. Hazard ratio was 0.229 (95% CI 0.093 to 0.564).Two year recurrence free survival was 68.5%(53.2 to 79.7%: group A) and 41.4% (27.5 to 54.7: group B). The difference was statistically significant (log-rank test p=0.0020 and HR 0.423(95% CI 0.241 to 0.743) in favor of group A. [Adverse effects of immunotherapy.] Chill and shiver: Out of total 762 courses, 52 courses (6.8%) were accompanied with chill and shiver and 47 courses (6.2%) fever (>38) thereafter. Out of 50 cases treated by immunotherapy, 28 cases had no side effect and 22 cases had at least more than one side effect of chill, shiver and/or fever.Conclusion
Immunotherapy using this modality is effective in recurrence control of post-surgical lung cancer patients by inhibiting the growth of disseminated micrometastases.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
The NCIC CTG JBR.10 trial demonstrated that adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) improves survival in resected stage IB/II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to observation. A 15-gene expression signature was developed from the trial population and subsequently validated to stratify patients with resected NSCLC into low and high risk prognostic groups. The signature may also be predictive for greater benefit from ACT in high risk patients (Zhu et al. JCO 2010), but this has not yet been validated. This gene expression signature may offer a risk stratification strategy to identify patients most likely to benefit from ACT. We conducted an exploratory economic analysis to assess the impact of the use of this gene signature compared to current clinical staging to guide ACT decisions in resected early stage NSCLC.Methods
We developed a decision analytic model populated by the NCIC CTG JBR.10 trial cost and outcome data, including direct medical costs and overall survival (OS). Utility for each health state was estimated from quality of life data to generate quality-adjusted survival. The analysis was performed over a lifetime horizon from the perspective of the Canadian public health care system, expressed in 2013 Canadian dollars. Survival and costs were discounted at 5% per year. We determined the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) of ACT versus observation in resected stage IB/II NSCLC in the following two scenarios: (1) gene signature-directed ACT, where patients classified as having high risk of recurrence receive ACT and those at low risk are observed; and (2) clinical stage-directed ACT, where gene signature profiling is not performed – those with stage IB tumours >4cm or stage II NSCLC receive ACT, and those with stage IB tumours <4cm are observed. Nonparametric bootstrapping to estimate 95% confidence intervals (CI) and multi-way sensitivity analyses were performed.Results
The analysis included 52 patients in the gene signature-based strategy and 125 patients in the stage-based strategy with available direct medical costs and gene signature data. The mean survival gain of ACT versus observation was 2.28 years using gene signature-directed selection, and 1.59 years using stage-directed selection. The discounted ICER of ACT versus observation was $8,327/life-year gained (LYG; 95% CI, $395 to $19,590) using the gene signature-directed approach, and $5,623/LYG (95% CI, -$2,161 to $14,354) for the clinical approach. There was no significant difference in the ICER between the two strategies (p=0.52). The discounted ICUR was $11,315/quality-adjusted life-year (QALY; 95% CI, $211 to $27,314) using the gene signature-directed approach, and $7,728/QALY (95% CI, -$3,080 to $19,825) for the clinical approach. Sensitivity analyses showed that the ICER was most sensitive to changes in the survival hazard ratio (i.e. treatment benefit) and utility, but less sensitive to the cost of the gene signature (range $0 to $10,000 per case, with corresponding ICER $15,794 to $28,194/LYG, respectively).Conclusion
This exploratory analysis suggests that use of the 15-gene expression signature to guide decisions for ACT in resected stage IB/II NSCLC patients could be highly cost-effective. Further validation of the signature’s impact on ACT outcomes is needed.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Mediastinal lymph nodes staging in NSCLC is of paramount importance. Although relatively precise, diagnostic modalities still employ certain level of invasiveness. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a well established predictor tool which, due to underlying distribution and relationship among the given variables, allow for construction of multidimensional models trained in prognosis of given outcome. Their performance in mediastinal staging based on radiological data only, currently remains unknown.Methods
Samples from 467 lymph nodes were obtained from 160 patients with primary NSCLC by means of endobronchial ultrasound guided-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), mediastinoscopy or lymphadenectomy during thoracotomy and microscopically analyzed. ANN models were created and prospectively validated on unmatched cohort of 50 consecutive patients (158 groups of lymph nodes). To identify factors correlated with nodal involvement single factor tests and logistic regression analysis were performed.Figure 1 Figure 1. The multilayer perceptron (MLP). Artificial Neural Network (ANN) structure for predicting metastatic involvement of mediastinal lymph nodes in NSCLC patients.Results
Size and standard uptake value (SUV) of the node along with primary tumour T characteristics were identified as the most sensitive variables regardless of the analysis conducted. Two ANN models predicted metastatic involvement with 89% and 92% accuracy. Single factor tests maintained high accuracy only for 2 out of 4 most sensitive variables (SUV >2.8 and length >15mm) in prospective validation. Additionally, logistic regression analysis allowed for construction of scoring model with certain parameters corresponding to risk thresholds of metastatic disease.Figure 1 Figure 2. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) characteristics. ROC curves for 2 manually designed ANNs (A); Sensitivity analyses of coefficients (B) and overall characteristics of ANNs performance (C).Conclusion
ANN is a repeatable and accurate diagnostic tool in mediastinal staging in NSCLC patients. Before its role in clinical practice will be established in large multi-centre study, findings of this preliminary report should be considered as exploratory only.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Pleural lavage cytology (PLC) is considered to be a prognostic factor for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. There has been no report describing the relationship between adjuvant chemotherapy and the presence of PLC.Backgroud: Pleural lavage cytology (PLC) is considered to be a prognostic factor for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. There has been no report describing the relationship between adjuvant chemotherapy and the presence of PLC.Methods
From January 2000 to December 2009, we retrospectively reviewed the medical record of lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent tumor resection and were positive for PLC immediately after thoracotomy.Results
There were 53 patients (4.8%) out of 1114 lung adenocarcinoma patients had PLC positive findings, including 31 male and 22 female patients, with a mean age of 66.6 years. Median follow up period was 33.6 months. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered intravenously to 24 patients and they were classified as adjuvant chemotherapy group. The rest of 29 patients were classified as surgery alone group. Pathological stage of I / II / III was 12 (41%) / 8 (28%) / 9 (31%) in surgery alone group and 7 (36%) / 8 (30%) / 9 (38%) in adjuvant chemotherapy group. The regimen of chemotherapy was as follows; 8 patients received cisplatin plus gemcitabine, 7 patients received carboplatin plus paclitaxel, 7 patients received gemcitabine, and 2 patients received others. 5-year survival rate was 50.3% and 29.7% (p=0.09) and 5-year recurrence free survival rate was 34.6% and 15.7% (p<0.01) in adjuvant chemotherapy group and surgery alone group. Even in stage I cases, there was a tendency that adjuvant chemotherapy group had better 5-year recurrence free survival than surgery alone group (60.1% and 29% p=0.11). In the COX proportional hazard multivariate analysis for recurrence free survival revealed that adjuvant chemotherapy (hazard ratio (HR) 0.45, p=0.03), tumor size >30mm (HR 2.23, p=0.02), and lymph node metastasis (HR 2.67, p<0.01) were significant independent prognostic factors.Figure 1Conclusion
Adjuvant chemotherapy was considered to be effective for PLC positive lung adenocarcinoma patients. Even in stage I cases, our results implicated that adjuvant chemotherapy was beneficial.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with postoperative recurrence (POR) is generally believed to have an incurable disease. However, several studies have indicated that only a limited number of distant recurrences (oligorecurrence) may benefit from local therapy to the distant site of disease. We investigated factors associated with postrecurrence survival (PRS) in recurrent NSCLC, and particularly the role of local therapy to the metastatic site.Methods
From 2000 through 2009, a total of 1542 patients with NSCLC underwent complete surgical resection. Of those, we reviewed the records of 356 patients with POR.Results
Type of POR included locoregional only in 114 (32%), distant in 242 (68%). Of the 242, there were 65 oligorecurrences. Initial recurrence therapy found local treatment for 68 (surgery 5, radiation 12, surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation 12, chemoradiotherapy 39). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that older age (HR1.522), advanced stage (HR1.371), shorter disease-free interval (DFI; HR1.733), non-adenocarcinoma (HR1.442), systemic treatment (-) (HR1.481), EGFR-TKIs (-) (HR1.563), local treatment (-) (HR1.705) and bone metastases (HR2.140) had a significant association with poor PRS, and oligorecurrences state appeared as an independent PRS factor in patient with distant recurrence (HR1.836). Median PRS times were 36.3 months for 37 patients with DFI > 16 months and receiving local treatment, and 16.0 months for other (p<0.001) in all patients (Fig.1), and 36.5 months for 29 patients with DFI > 16 months and oligorecurrence, and 14.6 months for other (p<0.001) in patient with distant recurrence (Fig.2). There was no significant difference in survival for the patients with oligorecurrence according to whether or not receiving local treatment. Figure 1Figure 2Conclusion
This study showed that local therapy improved PRS in patients with POR. Optimization of personalized systemic treatment depends on patient selection, and therapeutic strategy for adding an aggressive local treatment options based on a careful follow-up is important.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

O17.01 - Prognostic and predictive value of a new IASLC/ATS/ERS lung adenocarcinoma classification in a pooled analysis of four adjuvant chemotherapy trials: a LACE-Bio study (ID 3255)

Background
A new IASLC/ATS/ERS classification for lung adenocarcinoma has been proposed to classify invasive lung adenocarcinoma patients according to the predominant growth pattern present in the tumor: lepidic (LEP), papillary (PAP), acinar (ACN), micropapillary (MPP) and solid (SOL). Several studies have reported consistently that early stage resectable lung adenocarcinoma patients with LEP predominant pattern have a better prognosis, while MPP and SOL predominant patterns have a significantly poorer prognosis. However, the prognostic significance of these histological patterns has not been tested in clinical trials. Furthermore, the clinical utility of this new classification for predicting benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy is unknown.Methods
The representative single H&E slide of 1766 non-small cell lung cancer patients from IALT, JBR.10, CALGB 9633 and ANITA adjuvant chemotherapy trials who participated in the LACE-Bio study were reviewed to confirm the histological diagnosis. These cases were independently assessed by two pathologists involved in the development of this new IASLC/ATS/ERS classification for subtyping. Discordant cases were resolved by consensus. Clinical outcomes were overall survival (OS, main outcome), disease-free survival (DFS) and specific disease-free survival (SDFS) (DFS with censoring deaths not related to cancer). Multivariable Cox models stratified by trial were used for prognostic analyses and the interaction between treatment (chemotherapy / control) and histology subtypes added for predictive analyses. The five histology subtypes were first analysed separately and 3 groups (LEP, PAP+ACN and MPP+SOL) were considered.Results
573 patients were classified as 23 (4%) as LEP, 148 (26%) as ACN, 99 (17%) as PAP, 39 (7%) as MPP and 264 (46%) as SOL. The distribution of histology subtypes was different across trials (p=0.02) but not related with standard prognostic variables. The number of deaths, events and cancer-related events were 269, 320 and 292 respectively. No significant difference was observed between the survival curves of 5 subtypes whatever the endpoint. No prognostic value of 3 histological subtypes was observed for OS (p=0.21 in the control arm) contrary to DFS (p=0.04) and SDFS (p=0.03). These last 2 results were explained by the difference between PAP+ACN and MPP+SOL with hazard ratio (HR)~ACN+PAP vs. MPP+SOL~=0.66 95% confidence interval (CI)=[0.47-0.91] and HR~ACN+PAP vs. MPP+SOL~=0.67 [0.44-0.89] for DFS and SDFS, respectively. Due to the small number of patients with LEP predominant pattern, the predictive value was assessed after excluding this subtype. MPP+SOL patients reported significant DFS benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.58 [0.43-0.80], p<0.001) compared to ACN+PAP patients (HR=1.12 [0.79-1.59], p=0.53; p interaction < 0.01). A similar result was observed for SDFS with HR=0.58 [0.42-0.80], p<0.005 in MPP+SOL compared to HR=1.13 [0.78-1.63], p=0.52 in ACN+PAP (p interaction <0.01) while no predictive effect for OS.Conclusion
Resectable lung adenocarcinoma patients with micropapillary and solid predominant patterns showed a trend for poorer DFS and SDFS compared to patients with the other subtypes, and they show a significantly higher benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy on these outcomes. Histological subtypes according to the IASLC/ATS/ERS classification may be proposed as a stratification factor in design of future adjuvant chemotherapy trials.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

P2.11-022 - Phase IV, single-arm study of first-line gefitinib in Caucasian patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive, advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC): post-hoc exploratory analyses of EGFR mutations in plasma-derived cfDNA samples (ID 1868)
09:30 - 16:30 | Author(s): J. Douillard
- Abstract
Background
Study NCT01203917 assessed the efficacy and safety/tolerability of the EGFRTKI gefitinib in Caucasians with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC (previously reported). Here we report post-hoc EGFR mutation analyses of plasma-derived, circulating-free DNA (cfDNA), including efficacy (objective response rate [ORR] and progression-free survival [PFS]) by mutation subtype (Exon 19 deletions; L858R point mutations).Methods
Patients: Caucasians; ≥18 yrs; PS 0-2; histologically confirmed Stage IIIA/B/IV EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC eligible for first-line treatment. Treatment: 250mg gefitinib once-daily until disease progression. Primary endpoint: ORR (investigator assessment); secondary endpoints: disease control rate, PFS, overall survival, and safety/tolerability (previously reported). Mandatory tumor and plasma samples were collected at baseline (all screened patients). Post-hoc exploratory analyses: correlation between clinical characteristics and baseline plasma cfDNA EGFR mutation status; concordance of plasma cfDNA mutation subtype determination (Exon 19 deletions; L858R) with tumor; gefitinib efficacy by plasma cfDNA mutation subtype (Exon 19 deletions; L858R).Results
Of 1060 screened patients with NSCLC, 118 presented with activating, sensitizing EGFR mutations, 106 of whom were enrolled and treated with gefitinib (Full Analysis Set; 71% female; 97% adenocarcinoma; 64% never-smoker). Mutation rate for samples with known mutation status: 14% (118/859) in tumor, 10% (82/784) in plasma. Among 784 patients with baseline plasma samples of known mutation status, histology (adenocarcinoma vs non-adenocarcinoma; odds ratio [OR] 5.54; p=0.0012), smoking status (never- vs ever-smoker; OR 4.39; p<0.0001), and gender (female vs male; OR 2.68; p=0.0004) independently predicted plasma cfDNA mutation status. Concordance in 652 matched tumor and plasma- Exon 19 deletions: 96% (confidence interval [CI]: 95-98); L858R: 98% (CI: 96-99). Using tumor mutation status as reference, EGFR mutation test sensitivity in cfDNA (Exon 19 deletions) was 68% (CI: 56-78), specificity was 100% (CI: 99-100); positive predictive value: 100% (CI: 93-100); negative predictive value: 96% (CI: 94-98); results were similar for L858R, with numerically lower sensitivity (62%; CI 44-78%). ORR for patients with both EGFR mutation-positive tumor and plasma for Exon 19 deletions (n=45): 82% (CI: 69-91); L858R (n=20): 65% (CI: 41-85) (Table). Median PFS for patients with both EGFR mutation-positive tumor and plasma for Exon 19 deletions (25 events): 10.3 months (CI: 8.5-12.4); L858R (11 events): NC. Table

EGFR mutation status assessment of common mutations from plasma-derived cfDNA can be considered when tumor tissue is unavailable. In this context, cfDNA might be used to guide treatment decisions with EGFRTKI therapy, as patients with mutation-positive cfDNA, regardless of mutation subtype, appear to have similar ORR to tumor mutation-positive patients.

P3.11-020 - Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation analyses in tumor and plasma samples from a Phase IV, single-arm study of first-line gefitinib in Caucasian patients with EGFR mutation-positive, advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 1807)
09:30 - 16:30 | Author(s): J. Douillard
- Abstract
Background
Study NCT01203917 assessed the efficacy, and safety/tolerability of the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib in Caucasians with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, and compared mutation status in tumor-derived DNA and plasma-derived circulating-free DNA (cfDNA).Methods
Patients: Caucasians; ≥18 yrs; PS 0-2; histologically confirmed Stage IIIA/B/IV EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC eligible for first-line treatment. Treatment: 250mg gefitinib once-daily until disease progression. Primary endpoint: objective response rate (ORR; investigator assessment). Secondary endpoints: disease control rate (DCR; complete/partial response or stable disease ≥6 wks), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety/tolerability. Pre-planned exploratory objectives: comparison of EGFR mutation status in tumor versus mandatory, duplicate plasma samples (all screened patients) collected at baseline (plasma1 and 2) and one optional plasma at progression.Results
Of 1060 screened patients with NSCLC, 118 presented with activating, sensitizing EGFR tumor mutations, 106 of whom were enrolled and treated with gefitinib (Full Analysis Set; 71% female; 97% adenocarcinoma; 64% never-smoker). ORR (70%), DCR (90.6%), median PFS (9.7m), and median OS (19.2m) indicated gefitinib efficacy, with rash (45%), and diarrhea (31%) the most common adverse events (AEs; any grade; serious AEs: 19%) (previously reported at EMCTO 2013). Mutation rate for samples with known mutation status: 14% (118/859) in tumor, 10% (82/784) in plasma1. In 201 screened patients, tumor mutation status could not be detected due to technical reasons; however, 12 had a mutation in plasma1. Mutation status concordance in 652 matched tumor and plasma1: 94% (CI: 92-96; mutation subtype/frequencies in Table). Using tumor mutation status as reference, EGFR mutation test sensitivity in cfDNA was 66% (CI: 56-75), specificity was 100% (CI: 99-100); positive predictive value: 99% (CI: 92-100); negative predictive value: 94% (CI: 92-96). Mutation status concordance in 224 duplicate plasma samples: 97% (CI: 94-99) (subtype/frequencies in Table). ORR (post-hoc) for patients with both EGFR mutation-positive tumor and plasma1 or 2 (n=66): 77% (CI: 66-86); ORR for patients with EGFR mutation-positive tumor and EGFR mutation-negative plasma1 or 2 (n=37): 60% (CI: 44-74). Of 12 patients with baseline and progression plasma samples, 4 differences were observed: no mutations were detected at progression in 3 patients in which exon 19 deletions were detected at baseline; one patient with an exon 19 deletion at baseline acquired an additional mutation, T790M (75% concordance; CI: 43-95).
