      Background:
      Carcinogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be driven by oncogenic addiction that can be targeted by specific inhibitors. It is commonly accepted that these molecular alterations are mutually exclusive. Nevertheless, limited series suggest that concomitant molecular alteration can occur in lung cancer and little is known about their sensitivity to treatment. Based on a nationwide screening program conducted during one year, we aimed to analyze the largest molecular database to date for concomitant mutations in order to determine the prevalence of multiple genomic alterations in NSCLC and their impact on both prognosis and response to treatment.

      Methods:
      The database of Biomarker France IFCT study collecting the molecular profile of 17 664 NSCLC has been used. The prevalence of multiple alterations and of each association was calculated. Impact on prognosis (overall survival, OS), response to targeted or conventional treatments (progression free survival, PFS and objective response rate, ORR) were established and compared with the population of patients harboring single mutations and full wild-type.

      Results:
      We identified 162 (0.9%) patients with double genetic alterations and 3 with triple alterations. Multiple mutations involved preferentially KRAS (67.3%), PI3K (53.3%) and EGFR (42.4%). Patients with multiple alterations were male (56.4%) with a median age of 66.7 and essentially adenocarcinoma (83.6%). More never-smokers were observed in comparison with patient with singles alterations (34.7 vs. 25.8 %, p<0.001). OS was not significantly different between single and multiple alterations whatever the type of mutations. Patients with EGFR/KRAS and EGFR/PI3K mutated tumors had worse PFS after biomarker analysis than patients with EGFR single mutation (7.1 and 7.1 months vs. 14.9 months, p=0.02 and 0.002, respectively). Concomitant mutations in patients harboring ALK rearrangement had little impact on OS (17.7 months vs. 20.3 months, p=0.57) or PFS (10.3 months vs. 12.1 months, p=0.93). Patients harboring KRAS mutations with another alteration had similar OS (13.4 vs. 11.2 months, p=0.28), PFS (6.4 months vs. 7.2 months, p=0.78) and ORR to first-line chemotherapy (41.7% vs. 37.2%) to those only harboring KRAS mutations.

      Conclusion:
      With almost 1% of patients harboring multiple genomic alterations, the dogma of mutually exclusive mutations should be reconsidered. Double mutations do not significantly decrease OS but alter PFS under first line treatment for EGFR mutated patients. Therapies targeting the dominant oncogene remain generally active in this setting.

      OA18.07 - Quality of Resection and Outcome in Stage III TETs: The French RYTHMIC Network Experience (ID 6173)

      Background:
      Stage III TET represents a heterogeneous population and their optimal approach remains unclear; most of the available literature is composed of small series spanned over extended periods of time. RYTHMIC (Réseau tumeurs THYMiques et Cancer) is a French nationwide network for TET with the objective of territorial coverage by regional expert centers and systematic discussion of patients management at national tumor board. We reviewed our experience in stage III thymic tumors in order to evaluate the value of tumor board recommendations and multidisciplinary approach.

      Methods:
      We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients (pts) with stage III TET discussed at the RYTHMIC tumor board from January 2012 to December 2015. Clinical, pathologic and surgical data were prospectively collected in a central database. Survival rates were based on Kaplan-Meier estimation. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate prognostic factors for disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).

      Results:
      150 pts were included in the analysis. Median age was 64 years [18 – 91], 56% males, thymoma A-B2/ B3-thymic carcinoma in 52% and 47% respectively; 12% presented with autoimmune disorder (76% myasthenia). Local treatment was surgery in 134 pts (90%) followed by radiotherapy (RT) in 90 pts; 26 pts received preoperative chemotherapy (CT). Complete resection rate (R0) was 53%. Among 38 pts considered non-surgical candidates at diagnosis, 26 pts became resectable after induction CT with a R0 rate of 58%; 12 pts received CT-RT and/or CT as primary treatment. Recurrence rate was 38% (n=57), first sites were pleural (n=32) and lung (n=12). The 5-year OS and DFS were 88% and 32% respectively. Gender (HR: 0.2 [95%CI 0.04 - 0.97] p=0.04), histology (HR: 0.19 [95%CI 0.05 - 0.70] p=0.02) and surgery (HR: 0.4 [95%CI 0.01 - 0.20] p<0.001) as primary treatment modality were significant prognostic factors for OS in multivariate analysis. Histology (HR: 0.5 [95%CI 0.30 - 0.90] p=0.02) and adjuvant RT (HR: 0.4 [95%CI 0.20 – 1.00] p=0.05) were significantly associated with DFS. Completeness of resection was not associated with survival in our cohort.

      Conclusion:
      Surgery followed by radiotherapy improves outcome irrespectively of R0. Stage III TET not candidate to surgery should be reassessed for resection after induction chemotherapy.

      P2.03b-037 - Prognostic Impact of 1st-Line Treatment and Molecular Testing in Advanced NSCLC in France - Results of the IFCT-PREDICT.amm Study (ID 5628)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): P. Missy

      • Abstract

      Background:
      In 2013, recommendations for 1st line treatment in advanced NSCLC included a platinum based chemotherapy (pCT) with or without bevacizumab (BEV-pCT), an EGFR-TKI, or a non-platinum based CT (non-pCT) depending on clinical, pathological and molecular characteristics. Molecular testing for KRAS, EGFR and ALK, is routinely performed in France for advanced non-squamous NSCLC. However, the prognostic impact of the molecular status knowledge before beginning 1st line treatment is unknown.

      Methods:
      After a cross-validation study, KRAS, EGFR and ALK molecular status were assessed in 843 consecutive patients (pts) with previously untreated advanced NSCLC (all histologic subtypes) and categorized as: EGFR/ALK+, KRAS+, wild-type (WT), undetermined (UD) and not done (ND). Treatments from the 1st to 3rd line were separated into 4 groups: p-CT, BEVA-pCT, EGFR/ALK TKI and non-pCT. Demographic, clinical and pathological characteristics were collected and pts were followed-up until death. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for each line were determined. Prognostic factors including treatment categories (p-CT as reference) and biomarkers status (WT as reference) were studied by Cox model.

      Results:
      Treatments were analyzed in 767 (91.0%) of the 843 pts enrolled between 01/2013 and 02/2014. Pts were 93.1% Caucasians, 66.2% males. Median age was 62.4 yr (28-92). 13.4% were never smokers. PS ≥2 were 21.4% and 90.3% were stage IV. 76.5% had adenocarcinoma, 14.5% squamous cell carcinoma and 9% others with WT=40.4%, KRAS+=23.1%, EGFR/ALK+=10.2%, UD=5.1%, ND=21.2%. 1st line treatments were: p-CT=75.9%, BEVA-pCT=14.2%, EGFR/ALK TKI=7.8% and non-pCT=2.1%. With a 30.3 months (mo) median of follow-up, median OS and PFS were 10.7 mo and 5.3 mo, respectively. Factors independently associated with shorter OS were PS≥2 (HR=2.08, p<.0001), KRAS+, UD and ND mutation status (HR=1.40, p=.002; 1.53, p=.02; 1.29, p=.02), and non-pCT as 1st line treatment (HR=1.92, p=.01), while EGFR/ALK+ (HR=.38, p<.0001) and BEVA-pCT (HR=.54, p<.001) were associated with better survival. There was no interaction effect between biomarkers status and OS treatment groups. However, BEVA-pCT in 1st line therapy in KRAS+ and WT NSCLC (p<.0001 and <.0003, respectively) was associated with longer survival compared to p-CT, while giving a TKI or p-CT in 1st line therapy in EGFR/ALK+ NSCLC did not affect OS.

      Conclusion:
      Results from the IFCT-PREDICT.amm study suggest that prognosis of advanced NSCLC might be optimized in 1st line setting by the knowledge of EGFR/ALK molecular status and the opportunity to give a BEVA-pCT regimen, especially in patients with KRAS+ and WT tumor.
