      Background:
      Erlotinib in 2[nd] line improves survival in patients with recurrent/progressive NSCLC, is also active in squamous cell NSCLC, as reported in a BR.21 study subgroup. So far, no prospective non interventional study has specifically evaluated patients with this histological subtype treated with erlotinib. We present the final results of PEPITA cohort.

      Methods:
      PEPITA is a French multicenter, prospective cohort study assessing erlotinib modalities of use in daily practice in squamous NSCLC. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included patients’ characteristics, overall survival (OS), safety and quality of life. EGFR mutation was tested in 41 patients (28.5%) reason why exploratory analyses assessing EGFR genotyping and smoking status were also performed.

      Results:
      Between June 2012 - May 2013, 152 patients were included and 146 patients were analyzed for efficacy; median follow-up was 5.31 months (0.03-17.65).

      *[95% CI] In the safety population (n=152 patients), 158 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 70 patients (46.1%), including 48 grade ≥ 3 AEs in 31 patients (20.4%). The most frequent AEs related to erlotinib were skin rash (all grades [23,7%], grade ≥ 3 [5,2%]) and diarrhea (all grades [11,8%], grade ≥ 3 [2.0%]); 19 serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in 12 patients (7.9%), including 16 grade ≥ 3 SAEs in 10 patients (6.6%). There were 6 SAEs leading to death (3.9% patients), but none SAE was related to erlotinib.

      Conclusion:
      PEPITA is the first non-interventional study assessing modalities of use in daily practice of patients with stade IIIb/IV squamous NSCLC treated in 2[nd] line with erlotinib. This final analysis show similar efficacy and safety results to those observed in clinical trials. Clinical profile may drive EGFR genotyping.

      MINI30.07 - Crizotinib in Patients with ROS1 NSCLC. Preliminary Results of the AcSé Trial (ID 2426)

      18:30 - 20:00  |  Author(s): M. Wislez

      • Slides

      Background:
      To avoid uncontrolled off-label use and allow for a nationwide safe access to crizotinib (crz) for patients (pts) with an ALK, MET or ROS1 positive (+) tumor, the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) launched the AcSé program, funding both access to tumor molecular diagnosis and an exploratory multi-tumor 2-stage design phase II trial. We report the preliminary results of the ROS1+ NSCLC cohort.

      Methods:
      ROS1 status was assessed in 28 regional INCa molecular genetic centers by break-apart FISH assays in tumor samples showing an IHC score of ≥1+. Pts with ROS1 rearrangements, progressing after at least one standard treatment (including a platinum-based doublet, unless pts were considered as unfit for chemotherapy) were proposed to receive crz 250 mg BID. Responses were centrally assessed using RECIST v1.1. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were assessed every 8 weeks.

      Results:
      From Aug. 5, 2013 to Mar. 1, 2015, 39 pts with ROS1+ NSCLC were enrolled. 37 pts had received crz, leading to 37 pts with clinical information. Median age: 62 years (range 33–81), 70% females, 95% non-squamous histology, and 94% metastatic disease at study entry. Median number of prior treatments: 2 (range 1 –7). Twenty four pts were still on treatment at the cut-off date, 13 have stopped crz (8 PD, 3 adverse events (AEs), 2 deaths). Among the 27 pts evaluable for response at 8 weeks, we observed 16 PR, 7 SD and 4 PD, leading to ORR=59% [95% CI:39-78], and DCR=85% [66-96]. DCR at 6 months was 57% (disease control was achieved in 12/21 evaluable pts). Crz was well tolerated with only 4 grade ≥3 (1 AE + 3 SAEs) and 9 grade 1-2 SAEs. Most common AEs, mainly grade 1, were visual disorders (54% of pts), peripheral edema (51%), diarrhea (48%), nausea (46%), and elevated transaminases (43%).

      Conclusion:
      Crz was well tolerated and achieved a robust treatment response rate in ROS1+ NSCLC. These results underline the interest of integrating ROS1 in biomarkers routine screening. Survival data and duration of response will be presented.

      ORAL34.01 - Compliance with Follow-Up Programs After Surgery for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in the Phase III IFCT-0302 Trial (ID 2148)

      16:45 - 18:15  |  Author(s): M. Wislez

      • Abstract

      • Slides

      Background:
      In patients operated on for non-small cell lung cancer, several guidelines recommend a follow-up based on regular clinic visits and chest CT-scans. However, evidence to support these recommendations is poor, in the absence of randomized data. The IFCT-0302 trial is a randomized multicenter trial which compared 2 follow-up programs after complete resection for a clinical stage I, II, IIIA and T4 (pulmonary nodules in the same lobe) N0-2 NSCLC (TNM 6[th] edition). We present the results of compliance with the follow-up programs for the first 2 years after randomization.

      Methods:
      In the CXR arm, follow-up consisted of clinic visit and chest X-rays. In the CCT arm, patients underwent clinic visit, chest X-rays, thoraco-abdominal CT scan plus fiberoptic bronchoscopy (only mandatory for squamous cell and large cell carcinomas). In both arms, procedures were repeated every 6 months after randomization during the first 2 years, and yearly until 5 years, in the absence of recurrence or second primary cancer. Supplementary procedures were allowed in case of symptoms. Primary endpoint was overall survival.

      Results:
      Between January 2005 and November 2012, 1775 patients were randomized (CXR: 888; CCT: 887). Patient characteristics were well balanced between the two arms : males 76.3%, median age 62 years (range: 33-87), adenocarcinomas 56.7%, stage I-II 82.1%, lobectomy or bilobectomy 86,8%, pre- and/or post-operative radiotherapy 8.7%, and pre- and/or post-operative chemotherapy 45%. Surveillance was performed in 97% of patients at 6 months, in 94% at 12 months, in 90% at 18 months and in 84% at 24 months, and did not differ between the 2 arms. Intervals between randomization and visits were respected with no difference between arms (mean +/-SD in months from randomization: 5.93 +/- 0.84; 11.95 +/- 0.98; 18.05 +/- 0.99; 24.18 +/-1.30, respectively). In the 757 patients of the CXR arm, who had a follow-up visit at 6 months and no recurrence, 754 (99.6%) had a clinic visit and 730 (96.4%) a chest X-ray. In the 706 patients of the CCT arm who had a follow-up visit at 6 months and no recurrence, 702 (99.4%) had a clinic visit, 478 (67.7%) a chest X-ray, 678 (96%) a chest CT-scan, and 342 (48.4%) a bronchoscopy. Comparable compliance results were observed at 12, 18 and 24 months. In the CXR arm, supplementary thoracic CT-scans were done in 119 patients (15.7 %) at 6 months, in 96 (14.4 %) at 12 months, in 78 (13.2%) at 18 months and in 58 (11.4%) at 24 months. Other supplementary procedures were more frequent in the CCT arm than in the CXR arm, consisting mostly of brain imaging (at 6 months, in 93 (13.2%) and 39 (5.2%) patients, respectively, p<.001).

      Conclusion:
      Compliance with the follow-up programs was excellent in terms of timing. Chest X-ray was often omitted in the CCT arm. In the CXR arm, supplementary CT-scans that did not lead to a diagnosis of recurrence or second primary cancer were performed in 10 to 15% of patients. In the CCT arm, the most frequently performed supplementary procedure was brain imaging.
