      Background:
      Non-invasive genotyping of NSCLC patients by circulating tumor (ct)DNA is a promising alternative to tissue biopsies. However, ctDNA EGFR analysis remains challenging in patients with intrathoracic disease, with a reported 26-57% T790M mutation detection rate in plasma (Karlovich et al., Clin Cancer Res 2016; Wakelee et al., ASCO 2016). We investigated whether a mutation enrichment NGS could improve mutation detection in plasma and urine from TIGER-X, a phase 1/2 study of rociletinib in patients with EGFR mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.

      Methods:
      The therascreen (Qiagen) or cobas (Roche) EGFR test was used for EGFR T790M analysis in tumor biopsies. Urine and plasma were analyzed by trovera mutation enrichment NGS assay (Trovagene).

      Results:
      Of 174 matched tissue, plasma and urine specimens, 145 (83.3%) were T790M+ by central tissue testing, 142 (81.6%) were T790M+ by plasma, and 139 (79.9%) were T790M+ by urine. Urine and plasma combined identified 165 cases (94.8%) as T790M+. Of 25 cases positive by ctDNA but negative/inadequate by tissue, 16 were double-positive in plasma and urine, unlikely to be false positive (Figure 1). T790M detection rate was higher for extrathoracic (n=119) vs intrathoracic (n=55) disease in plasma (87.4% vs 69.1%, p=0.006) but not urine (81.5% vs 76.4%, p=0.42). Combination of urine and plasma identified T790M in 92.7% of intrathoracic and 95.8% of extrathoracic cases (p=0.47). In T790M+ patients, objective response rate was similar whether T790M mutation was identified by tissue, plasma or urine: 37.4%, 33.1% and 36.6%, respectively. 4 of 9 patients T790M+ by urine but negative by tissue responded, and 2 of 8 patients T790M+ by plasma but negative by tissue responded.

      Conclusion:
      Mutation enrichment NGS testing by urine and plasma combined identified 94.8% of T790M+ cases. Combination of urine and plasma may be considered before tissue testing in EGFR TKI resistant NSCLC, including patients without extrathoracic metastases. Figure 1

      MA09.11 - Efficacy and Safety of Necitumumab and Pembrolizumab Combination Therapy in Stage IV Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 4712)

      Background:
      Trials of anti-EGFR necitumumab and anti-PD1 pembrolizumab demonstrate the anti-tumor activity of each agent in NSCLC.

      Methods:
      Single-arm, multicenter Phase 1b study to investigate effectiveness and safety of necitumumab combined with pembrolizumab in patients with Stage IV NSCLC (NCT02451930). In Part A, escalating doses of necitumumab (600 mg and 800 mg IV) were administered on Day 1 and 8 every 3 weeks (Q3W) in combination with pembrolizumab (200 mg IV) on Day 1 Q3W. In the absence of dose limiting toxicity, Part B (expansion cohort) was planned with necitumumab 800 mg in 27 squamous and 27 nonsquamous NSCLC patients. Major eligibility criteria included: progression after ≥1 platinum-based chemotherapy, and ECOG PS 0-1. Study objectives were to evaluate tolerability and ORR by RECIST 1.1. PD-L1 status was centrally assessed using PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay (considered negative, weak positive, strong positive if <1%, 1-49%, ≥50% of tumor cells were stained, respectively).

      Results:
      The interim analysis population includes 34 nonsquamous patients (median age 61 years, 68% men, 21% never smokers, PD-L1 status: negative, 50% [17/34]; positive weak/strong, 15% [5/34]/15% [5/34]; unknown 21% [7/34[BJ1] ]). Median follow-up was 6.0 months. Ten patients (29.4%) had PR (confirmed and unconfirmed) (PRs by PD-L1 status: negative, 18% [3/17]; positive weak/strong, 60% [3/5]/40% [2/5]; unknown status, 2 patients). DCR was 67.6%. PFS rate at 6 months was 55.1% (95% CI, 36.2-70.6); median PFS was 6.9 months (95% CI, 2.7-NR). Most common Grade ≥3 AEs were skin rash (9%), hypomagnesemia (9%), VTE (9%) and increased lipase (9%); 1 patient died due to an AE (respiratory tract infection). Five patients (14.7%) discontinued therapy because of an AE. Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      Safety profile corresponds to individual profiles for both drugs, with no additive toxicities. These preliminary data suggest activity of this combination in a pretreated nonsquamous NSCLC population, irrespective of PD-L1 status.

      P3.02c-032 - Interstitial Pneumonitis Associated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Treatment in Cancer Patients (ID 5670)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): M. Pérol

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Immunotherapy is now a standard of care in melanoma, lung cancer and is spreading across other tumours. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are generally well tolerated but can also generate immune-related adverse effects. Since the first trials, pneumonitis has been identified as a rare but potentially life-threatening event.

      Methods:
      We conducted a retrospective study over a period of 5 months in centers experienced in ICI use in clinical trials, access programs or following national approval. We report the main features of possibly related pneumonitis occurring in patients treated with ICI with a particular focus on clinical presentation, radiologic patterns (with a double reviewing by radiologists and pulmonologists), pathology and therapeutic strategies.

      Results:
      We identified 71 patients with possibly related pneumonitis including 54 NSCLC and 13 melanoma. They mainly received PD1 inhibitors. Pneumonitis usually occurred in male, former or current smokers with a median age of 59 years. We observed grade 2/3 (n= 45, 65.2%) and grade 5 (n= 6, 8.7%) pneumonitis. The median duration time between the introduction of immunotherapy and the pneumonitis was 2.2 months [0.1-27.4]. Ground glass opacitiy on lung CT-scan were the most predominant lesion 80.9% (n=55), followed by consolidations 44.1% (n=30), reticulations 36.7% (n=25) and bronchiectasis in 20.6% (n=14). When performed, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) showed a T-lymphocytic alveolitis and transbronchial biopsy an inflammatory and lymphocytic infiltration. Pneumonitis treatment was steroids (86.6%) and/or antibiotics (67.6%). Immunotherapy was stopped after the pneumonitis for 65 cases (92.9%) and reintroduced for 12 (9.4%) cases. Twenty-four patients (34.3%) were dead at the last follow-up and 46 patients (65.7%) were still alive. Among the living patients, the pneumonitis outcome was a total recovery in 12 patients, improvement in 22 patients, stability in 10 patients, worsening evolution in 1 patient (1 unknown). Causality of immunotherapy was evaluated by investigators as “possible” for 34 patients (49.3%), “probable” for 17 (24.6%), “certain” for 15 (21.7%) other causes for 3 (4.3%) and 2 unknowns. Median overall survival from the onset of pneumonitis was 6 months.

      Conclusion:
      This serie, the largest to date, of immune-related pneumonitis demonstrates that it occurs usually during the first months and displays specific radiologic features. As there is no clearly identified risk factor, oncologists should be able to detect, diagnose (with CT-scan and bronchoscopy) and treat this adverse event. An early management is usually associated with a favourable outcome and requires a close collaboration between pulmonologists, radiologists and oncologists.
