MA03.03 - High Risk for Second Primary Lung Cancer in Taiwanese Early-Onset Female Breast Cancer Patients (ID 5966)
14:20 - 15:50 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Female lung and breast cancers are two distinct disease entities in East Asia. Although studies on second primary cancers following the first breast cancer event have been carried out, no in-depth survey on double primary breast and lung cancers has been done. This study analyzed the association between these two distinct cancer types.
Methods:
In the exploratory cohort study, the data were obtained from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, which contained information on approximately 24.7 million insured individuals. The Taiwan Population Census and National Cancer Registry Databases were used to identify patients with breast and lung cancers. The cohort included individuals with newly diagnosed primary breast cancer between 2000 and 2011. An age- and sex-matched systematic random-sampling method was used for subject selection in the reference non-breast cancer cohort. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to determine the effects of breast cancer on the risk of lung cancer, as shown by hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs. Detailed medical record and pathological reviews were done on the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) patient cohort to validate the national cohort study results. The national lung cancer incidence rate was used as reference incidence rate in the validation cohort.
Results:
A total of 88,439 patients were diagnosed with female breast cancer between 2000-2011 in the national cohort. The HR for subsequent lung cancer was 1.27 (95% CI, 1.09-1.48). When stratified by age, the HR was 5.29 (95% CI, 2.26-12.4) in the patients aged less than 40 years, 1.67 (95% CI, 1.18-2.30) in the group aged 40-49, 1.27 (95% CI, 0.97-1.67) in the group aged 50-59, 1.09 (95% CI, 0.81-1.49) in the group aged 60-69, and 0.70 (95% CI, 0.48-1.02) in the group older than 70 years. A total of 13,517 primary female breast cancer patients were identified in the NTUH electronic medical record system between 2006-2015. The incidence rate ratio for second primary lung cancer was 16.08 in the patients whose primary breast cancer was diagnosed at age younger than 50 years and 1.43 for those diagnosed at age older than 50 years. These results supported the national cohort study findings that early-onset female breast cancer patients bear a relative high risk for second primary lung cancer.
Conclusion:
Our findings suggest a relative high risk for second primary lung cancer among patients whose primary female breast cancer is diagnosed at age less than 50 years.

MA07.01 - Updated Pooled Analysis of CNS Endpoints in Two Phase II Studies of Alectinib in ALK+ NSCLC (ID 5354)
11:00 - 12:30 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Based on two single-arm, multicentre, phase II studies (NP28673 [NCT01801111] and NP28761 [NCT01871805]), the FDA approved the ALK inhibitor alectinib for use in ALK+ NSCLC patients after prior crizotinib. Alectinib was well tolerated in both phase II studies and showed efficacy against both systemic and central nervous system (CNS) disease, the latter being a common progression site in ALK+ NSCLC. This analysis uses pooled data from the latest cut-offs (22 Jan 2016 for NP28761; 1 Feb 2016 for NP28673) to examine the long-term CNS efficacy of alectinib.
Methods:
Both studies enrolled crizotinib-refractory patients ≥18 years with ECOG PS 0–2 and locally advanced or metastatic ALK+ NSCLC (confirmed by FDA-approved test). CNS metastases were permitted if asymptomatic. Patients received 600mg oral alectinib BID. The primary endpoint in both studies was objective response rate (ORR) by independent review committee; secondary CNS endpoints included CNS ORR, CNS duration of response (DoR), and CNS disease control rate (DCR). CNS response and progression were determined by RECIST v1.1. All patients had baseline imaging to assess CNS metastases, with further imaging every 6 or 8 weeks for NP28761 and NP28673, respectively.
Results:
The overall pooled analysis population comprised 225 patients (n=87 from NP28761; n=138 from NP28673); median follow-up for this updated analysis was 18.8 (0.6–29.7) months (>6 months additional follow-up). At baseline, 50 patients had measurable and 86 had non-measurable CNS disease; together, these groups comprised 136 patients, 60% of the overall pooled population. Seventy percent of patients had prior CNS radiotherapy; 58% of these completed radiotherapy >6 months before study entry. Updated CNS data are shown in the Table and are consistent with systemic results.Measurable CNS disease at baseline (n=50) Measurable and non-measurable CNS disease at baseline (n=136) CNS ORR, n (%) [95% CI] 32 (64.0) [49.2–77.1] 60* (44.1) [35.6–52.9] Complete response (CR), n (%) 11 (22.0) 39* (28.7) CNS DCR, n (%) [95% CI] 45 (90.0) [78.2–96.7] 117 (86.0) [79.1–91.4] Median CNS DoR, months [95% CI] Patients with event, n (%) 11.1 [7.6–NE] 18 (56.3) 13.8 [11.0–21.5] 32 (53.3) * N.B. Non-measurable disease response can only be classified as CR, non-CR/non-progressive disease (PD) or PD
Conclusion:
This updated pooled analysis with mature data confirms that alectinib can provide long-term control of CNS metastases in ALK+ NSCLC, with a high CR rate.

MA08.05 - Depth of Response to First-Line EGFR TKI Does Not Predict Survival in EGFR-Mutated NSCLC Patients (ID 4834)
11:00 - 12:30 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
The association between depth of response to EGFR TKI and prognosis of EGFR-mutated NSCLC remains unclear. We aimed to assess the correlation between maximal tumor shrinkage and survival in patients treated with gefitinib and afatinib.
Methods:
Patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC enrolled in first-line gefitinib and afatinib clinical trials between 2005 and 2014 at the National Taiwan University Hospital were reviewed. Patients who had at least one measurable target lesion that shrank during treatment were included. Overall survival (OS) was defined as time from date of enrollment to death or May 30[th], 2016. Correlation between tumor shrinkage and OS was analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Kaplan-Meier method. The influence of high maximal tumor shrinkage (defined as ≥50% tumor shrinkage), age, gender, types of EGFR mutation, central nervous system (CNS) involvement at diagnosis, CNS as site of progression, first-line EGFR TKI (gefitinib or afatinib), and subsequent treatments (chemotherapy, third-generation TKI) on OS was evaluated by a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model.
Results:
A total of 189 trial patients were screened and 91 patients were eligible for analysis (gefitinib n=42, afatinib n=49). The median maximal tumor shrinkage during first-line EGFR TKI treatment was 53% (interquartile range 30.5%). Maximal tumor shrinkage did not correlate with OS in all patients (R[2]=0.0225, p=0.169), and either the gefitinib (R[2]=0.0036, p=0.689) or afatinib (R[2]=0.0625, p=0.085) group (Fig.1A). High maximal tumor shrinkage also did not significantly affect OS (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.54-1.40, p=0.564) (Fig. 1B). In multivariate analysis, CNS as site of progression (HR 2.96, 95% CI 1.39-6.29, p=0.005) and first-line afatinib (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.29-0.91, p=0.022) were the only factors that significantly influenced OS.Figure 1
Conclusion:
The depth of response to first-line gefitinib and afatinib was not predictive of OS in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

MA09.02 - Pembrolizumab + Carboplatin and Pemetrexed as 1st-Line Therapy for Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: KEYNOTE-021 Cohort G (ID 5787)
14:20 - 15:50 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Platinum doublet chemotherapy ± bevacizumab is standard first-line therapy for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without genetic aberrations. Single-agent pembrolizumab exhibits robust antitumor activity in PD-L1–positive advanced NSCLC. Cohort G of the multicenter, open-label, phase 1/2 multicohort KEYNOTE-021 study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02039674) evaluated the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab + carboplatin and pemetrexed compared with carboplatin and pemetrexed in patients with treatment-naive advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with any PD-L1 expression.
Methods:
Cohort G enrollment criteria included patients with stage IIIB/IV nonsquamous NSCLC, no activating EGFR mutation or ALK translocation, no prior systemic therapy, measurable disease, ECOG performance status 0-1, and adequate tumor sample for assessment of PD-L1 status, regardless of PD-L1 expression. Patients were randomized 1:1 to 4 cycles of pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W + carboplatin AUC 5 (5 mg/mL/min) + pemetrexed 500 mg/m[2] Q3W or carboplatin AUC 5 (5 mg/mL/min) + pemetrexed 500 mg/m[2] Q3W alone, followed by maintenance pemetrexed ± pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab was given for ≤35 cycles. Randomization was stratified by PD-L1 expression (positive [tumor proportion score, or TPS, ≥1%] vs negative [TPS <1%]). Crossover to pembrolizumab monotherapy was allowed for eligible patients who experienced disease progression (RECIST v1.1) on chemotherapy. Response was assessed by central imaging vendor review every 6 weeks for first 18 weeks, every 9 weeks through year 1, and every 12 weeks in year 2. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR); secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response, and overall survival (OS). Comparison between arms was assessed using the stratified Miettinen and Nurminen method (ORR) and stratified log-rank test (PFS, OS).
Results:
As of January 2016, 123 patients (60 in the pembrolizumab + chemotherapy arm, 63 in the chemotherapy arm) had been enrolled in cohort G. Data on ORR, duration of response, safety, and preliminary PFS and OS results will be available by August 2016.
Conclusion:
The conclusion will be updated at the late-breaking submission stage.

MA16.03 - Global RET Registry (GLORY): Activity of RET-Directed Targeted Therapies in RET-Rearranged Lung Cancers (ID 4325)
14:20 - 15:50 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
GLORY is a global registry of patients with RET-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In order to complement ongoing prospective studies, the registry’s goal is to provide data on the efficacy of RET-directed targeted therapies administered outside the context of a clinical trial. We previously reported results from our first interim analysis (Gautschi, ASCO 2016). Following additional accrual into the registry, updated results are presented here, with a focus on an expanded efficacy analysis of various RET inhibitors.
Methods:
A global, multicenter network of thoracic oncologists identified patients with pathologically-confirmed NSCLC harboring a RET rearrangement. Molecular profiling was performed locally via RT-PCR, FISH, or next-generation sequencing. Anonymized data including clinical, pathologic, and molecular features were collected centrally and analyzed by an independent statistician. Response to RET tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) administered off-protocol was determined by RECIST1.1 (data cutoff date: April 15, 2016). In the subgroup of patients who received RET TKI therapy, the objectives were to determine overall response rate (ORR, primary objective), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
Results:
165 patients with RET-rearranged NSCLC from 29 centers in Europe, Asia, and the USA were accrued. The median age was 61 years (range 28-89 years). The majority of patients were female (52%), never smokers (63%), with lung adenocarcinomas (98%) and advanced disease (91%). The most frequent metastasic sites were lymph nodes (82%), bone (51%) and lung (32%). KIF5B-RET was the most commonly identified fusion (70%). 53 patients received at least one RET-TKI outside of a clinical protocol, including cabozantinib (21), vandetanib (11), sunitinib (10), sorafenib (2), alectinib (2), lenvatinib (2), nintedanib (2), ponatinib (2) and regorafenib (1). In patients who were evaluable for response (n=50), the ORR was 37% for cabozantinib, 18% for vandetanib, and 22% for sunitinib. Median PFS was 3.6, 2.9, and 2.2 months and median OS was 4.9, 10.2, and 6.8 months for cabozantinib, vandetanib, and sunitinib, respectively. Responses were also observed with nintedanib and lenvatinib. Among patients who received more than one TKI (n=10), 3 partial responses were achieved after prior treatment with a different TKI.
Conclusion:
RET inhibitors are active in individual patients with RET-rearranged NSCLC, however, novel therapeutic approaches are warranted with the hope of improving current clinical outcomes. GLORY remains the largest dataset of patients with RET-rearranged NSCLC, and continues to accrue patients.

MA16.11 - CNS Response to Osimertinib in Patients with T790M-Positive Advanced NSCLC: Pooled Data from Two Phase II Trials (ID 4920)
14:20 - 15:50 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Brain metastases develop in 25–40% of patients with NSCLC. Osimertinib is an oral, potent, irreversible EGFR-TKI, selective for both sensitising (EGFRm) and T790M resistance mutations. Preclinical and early clinical evidence support central nervous system (CNS) penetration and activity of osimertinib. Two Phase II studies (AURA extension [NCT01802632] and AURA2 [NCT02094261]) evaluating the efficacy and safety of osimertinib are ongoing. We present a pre planned subgroup analysis assessing pooled CNS response from these two studies; data cut-off (DCO) was 1 November 2015. An earlier pooled analysis from these two studies (1 May 2015 DCO) showed the objective response rate (ORR) in patients with CNS metastases was consistent with ORR in the overall patient population.
Methods:
Patients with advanced NSCLC who progressed following prior EGFR-TKI therapy with centrally-confirmed T790M positive status (cobas® EGFR Mutation Test) received osimertinib 80 mg once daily (n=411). Patients with stable, asymptomatic CNS metastases were eligible for enrolment. CNS efficacy was assessed in an evaluable for CNS response analysis set, which included patients with at least one measurable CNS lesion on baseline brain scan (RECIST v1.1) by blinded independent central neuroradiology review (BICR). Effect of prior radiotherapy on CNS response was assessed.
Results:
As of 1 November 2015, 50/192 patients with baseline brain scans had at least one measurable CNS lesion identified by BICR. Baseline demographics were broadly consistent with the overall patient population. Confirmed CNS ORR was 54% (27/50; 95% CI: 39%, 68%), with 12% complete CNS response (6/50 patients). The median CNS duration of response (22% maturity) was not reached (95% CI: not calculable [NC], NC). The estimated percentage of patients remaining in response at 9 months was 75% (95% CI: 53, 88). CNS disease control rate (DCR) was 92% (46/50; 95% CI: 81%, 98%). Median time to first response was 5.7 weeks (range: 5.6–6.6). Median best percentage change from baseline in CNS target lesion size was 53% (range: -100% – +80%). Median follow up for CNS progression-free survival (PFS) was 11 months; the median CNS PFS was not reached (95% CI: 7, NC). At 12 months, 56% (95% CI: 40%, 70%) of patients were estimated to remain on study, alive and CNS progression-free. CNS response was observed regardless of prior radiotherapy to the brain.
Conclusion:
Osimertinib demonstrates durable efficacy in patients with T790M NSCLC and measurable CNS metastases, with a CNS response rate of 54% and a DCR of 92%.

OA23.05 - First-Line Afatinib versus Gefitinib in EGFRm+ Advanced NSCLC: Updated Overall Survival Analysis of LUX-Lung 7 (ID 5347)
14:20 - 15:50 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
The irreversible ErbB family blocker afatinib and the reversible EGFR TKI gefitinib are approved for first-line treatment of advanced EGFRm+ NSCLC. This Phase IIb trial prospectively compared afatinib versus gefitinib in this setting.
Methods:
LUX-Lung 7 assessed afatinib (40 mg/day) versus gefitinib (250 mg/day) in treatment-naïve patients with stage IIIb/IV NSCLC harbouring a common EGFR mutation (Del19/L858R). Co-primary endpoints were PFS (independent review), time to treatment failure (TTF) and OS. Other endpoints included ORR and AEs. In case of grade ≥3/selected grade 2 drug-related AEs the afatinib dose could be reduced to 30 mg or 20 mg (minimum). The primary analysis of PFS/TTF was undertaken after ~250 PFS events. The primary OS analysis was planned after ~213 OS events and a follow-up period of ≥32 months.
Results:
319 patients were randomised (afatinib: 160; gefitinib: 159). At the time of primary analysis, PFS (HR [95% CI] 0.73 [0.57‒0.95], p=0.017), TTF (0.73 [0.58‒0.92], p=0.007) and ORR (70 vs 56%, p=0.008) were significantly improved with afatinib versus gefitinib. The most common grade ≥3 AEs were diarrhoea (13%) and rash/acne (9%) with afatinib and elevated ALT/AST (9%) with gefitinib. 42% of patients treated with afatinib had ≥1 dose reduction due to AEs; dose reductions were more common in females than males (77%/23%) and non-Asians than Asians (64%/36%). Dose reduction of afatinib did not negatively impact PFS (<40mg vs ≥40mg; HR [95% CI]: 1.34 [0.90‒2.00]) but reduced incidence and severity of drug-related grade ≥3 AEs. Treatment discontinuation due to drug-related AEs was the same in each arm (6%). The data cut-off for primary OS analysis occurred on 8 April 2016. At this time, median treatment duration (range) was 13.7 (0‒46.4) versus 11.5 (0.5‒48.7) months with afatinib and gefitinib. 25% (afatinib) and 13% (gefitinib) of patients received treatment for >24 months. 73% and 77% of patients in the afatinib and gefitinib arms had ≥1 subsequent systemic anti-cancer treatment, with 46% and 56% receiving a subsequent EGFR-TKI including osimertinib (14%)/olmutinib (14%). OS data, including subgroup analysis with respect to subsequent therapy will be presented at the meeting.
Conclusion:
Afatinib significantly improved PFS, TTF and ORR versus gefitinib in EGFRm+ NSCLC patients, with a manageable AE profile and few drug-related discontinuations. Dose adjustment of afatinib reduced drug-related AEs without compromising efficacy. Primary OS analysis will be reported.

P2.06-021 - Efficacy and Safety of ASP8273 versus Erlotinib or Gefitinib as First-Line Treatment in Subjects with EGFR<Sup>Mut+</Sup> NSCLC (ID 4148)
14:30 - 15:45 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
Background:
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown antitumor efficacy and prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR activation mutations; however, acquired resistance often develops limiting clinical efficacy. ASP8273 is an irreversible, once-daily (QD), orally available TKI with activity against both activating and resistance EGFR mutations (ex19del, L858R, T790M). Preliminary findings from Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials in the US, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea have demonstrated antitumor activity and overall tolerability of ASP8273 at doses of 100mg–300mg.
Methods:
This global, multicenter, open-label, randomized, Phase 3 study will enroll ~600 adult subjects with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC with EGFR-activating mutations (ex19del or L858R, with or without T790M) who have not been treated with an EGFR inhibitor TKI (NCT02588261). Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to treatment with either 300mg oral ASP8273 QD or erlotinib/gefitinib. Each site will select a comparator drug (150mg erlotinib QD or 250mg gefitinib QD) at the beginning of the study. Randomization will be stratified by ECOG status (0, 1, and 2), EGFR mutation (ex19del, L858R), comparator selected (erlotinib vs gefitinib), and race (Asian vs non-Asian). Subjects will not be enrolled if they harbor both ex19del and L858R. All subjects will begin treatment on Day 1 Cycle 1 and will continue on 28-day continuous dosing cycles until the subject discontinues (eg, due to radiologic progression as determined by RECIST or unacceptable toxicity). Dose reductions will be allowed for ASP8273 and erlotinib, but not for gefitinib. The primary study objective is PFS as assessed by independent radiological review (IRR); secondary study objectives are overall survival, best overall response rate, disease control rate and duration of response by IRR, safety/tolerability, and patient quality of life. An independent Data Monitoring Committee will oversee trial safety and the interim futility analysis. Enrollment for the trial began 26 February 2016; 46 subjects have been randomized as of 17 May 2016.

P3.02a-016 - Pooled Efficacy and Safety Data from Two Phase II Studies (NP28673 and NP28761) of Alectinib in ALK+ Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 5044)
14:30 - 15:45 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
Background:
Alectinib is an FDA-approved ALK TKI, for treatment of patients with ALK+ metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on, or are intolerant to, crizotinib. Systemic and CNS efficacy was demonstrated in two single-arm, phase II studies (NP28673 [NCT01801111] and NP28761 [NCT01871805]). We report the pooled systemic efficacy and safety analysis of alectinib from 2016 cut-offs 22 January, NP28761 and 1 February, NP28673.
Methods:
Patients were ≥18 years, had locally advanced or metastatic ALK+ NSCLC [FDA-approved FISH test] and had progressed on, or were intolerant to, crizotinib. Patients received oral alectinib 600mg twice daily until disease progression, death or withdrawal. The pooled analysis assessed objective response rate (ORR) by an independent review committee (IRC) using RECIST v1.1 (primary endpoint in both studies); disease control rate (DCR); duration of response (DOR); progression-free survival (PFS); overall survival (OS); and safety.
Results:
The pooled dataset included 225 patients, (n=138 NP28673; n=87 NP28761). Median age was 53 years, 60% of patients had baseline CNS metastases and 77% had received prior chemotherapy. The response-evaluable (RE) population by IRC included 189 patients (84%). Median follow-up was 18.8 months (0.6–29.7). In the RE population (n=189) ORR by IRC was 51.3% (95% CI 44.0–58.6; all partial responses), a DCR of 78.8% (95% CI 72.3–84.4), with a median DOR of 14.9 months (95% CI 11.1–20.4) after 58% of events. In patients with prior chemotherapy (n=148), IRC ORR was 49.3% (95% CI 41.0–57.7); DCR: 79.1% (95% CI 71.6–85.3); median DOR: 14.9 months (95% CI 11.0–21.9) after 59% of events. In patients who were chemotherapy-naïve (n=41), IRC ORR was 58.5% (95% CI 42.1–73.7); DCR: 78.0% (95% CI 62.4–89.4); median DOR: 11.2 months (95% CI 8.0–NE) after 54% of events. In the total pooled population (n=225) median PFS by IRC was 8.3 months (95% CI 7.0–11.3) after 69% of events and median OS was 26.0 months (95% CI 21.4–NE) after 43% of events. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 40% of patients and the most common were dyspnoea (4%), elevated levels of blood creatine phosphokinase (4%) and alanine aminotransferase (3%). The mean dose intensity was 94.6%. Fourteen patients withdrew due to AEs; 20.9% had AEs leading to dose interruptions/modification.
Conclusion:
This pooled analysis confirmed alectinib has robust systemic efficacy with a durable response in this population and in patients with or without prior chemotherapy. Alectinib had an acceptable safety profile.

P3.02b-044 - Afatinib versus Gefitinib as First-Line Treatment for EGFR Mutation-Positive NSCLC Patients Aged ≥75 Years: Subgroup Analysis of LUX-Lung 7 (ID 5327)
14:30 - 15:45 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
Background:
The irreversible ErbB family blocker afatinib and the reversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib are approved for first-line treatment of advanced EGFRm+ NSCLC. In the Phase IIb LUX-Lung 7 trial, afatinib significantly improved median progression-free survival (PFS; HR=0.73 [95% CI, 0.57–0.95], p=0.017), objective response rate (70% vs 56%, p=0.008) and time to treatment failure (TTF; HR=0.73 [95% CI, 0.58–0.92], p=0.007) versus gefitinib in this setting (Park et al. Lancet Oncol 2016). Here we evaluated the efficacy and safety of afatinib versus gefitinib in patients aged ≥75 years in a subgroup analysis of LUX-Lung 7 (NCT01466660).
Methods:
Treatment-naïve patients with stage IIIB/IV EGFRm+ NSCLC were randomized (1:1) to oral afatinib (40 mg/day) or gefitinib (250 mg/day), stratified by EGFR mutation type (Del19/L858R) and presence of brain metastases (Yes/No). Co-primary endpoints were PFS, TTF, and overall survival. Subgroup analyses of PFS and adverse events (AEs) by age (≥75/<75 years) were exploratory.
Results:
Of 319 patients randomised in LL7, 40 (13%) were aged ≥75 years (afatinib n=19, gefitinib n=21). Median PFS for both age groups was in line with the overall population and favoured afatinib versus gefitinib (patients ≥75 years: 14.7 vs 10.8 months, HR=0.69 [95% CI, 0.33–1.44]; patients <75 years: 11.0 vs 10.9 months, HR=0.76 [95% CI, 0.58–1.00]). The incidence of treatment-related AEs (grade 3/4) was slightly higher in the older subgroup (afatinib: 42%/0%; gefitinib: 24%/5%) than in the younger subgroup (afatinib: 28%/2%; gefitinib: 15%/<1%). There were no unexpected safety findings. The most common treatment-related AEs (all grade [grade 3]) with afatinib in the older patient subgroup were diarrhoea (89% [21%]), rash (63% [5%]), dry skin (37% [0%]), and decreased appetite (32% [0%]). Dose reduction/discontinuation of afatinib due to treatment-related AEs was required in 53%/16% and 40%/5% of the older and younger subgroup, respectively.
Conclusion:
A small subgroup of patients in the LUX-Lung 7 trial were ≥75 years old (13%). In exploratory subgroup analyses of patients aged ≥75 and <75 years old, advancing age did not adversely affect the PFS benefit and tolerability observed with afatinib versus gefitinib in treatment-naïve EGFRm+ NSCLC patients. These findings suggest that afatinib can provide an effective and tolerable treatment for older patients with EGFRm+ NSCLC.

P3.02b-122 - Characterization of Afatinib Resistant Lung Cancer Cells (PC9/Afa) and Reversal of Resistance by T790M Specific Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (ID 4955)
14:30 - 15:45 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
Background:
Human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells harboring epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) mutation are sensitive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and afatinib. Despite of in vitro activity against resistance mutation T790M, lung cancer patients harboring EGFR mutations treated with afatinib still develop resistance in a median of 12 months. Several reports indicated that T790M can be detected in afatinib resistant NSCLC patients’ tumor samples. We reported previously that gefitinib resistant EGFR mutant PC9/gef cells do not contain resistant mutation T790M and the resistance seemed to be conferred by acquired N-ras mutation. Here we characterized the afatinib resistant EGFR mutant lung cancer cells.
Methods:
In order to study the resistance mechanism of irreversible inhibitor afatinib in EGFR mut cells, we developed afatinib resistant PC9/afa cells using stepwise increment of afatinib in the medium of wild type PC9 cells. Several clones were selected for further experiments. Downstream signals of EGFR in cells were studied using western blot. Growth of cells as well as xenografts upon EGFR inhibitors were studied.
Results:
In contrast to PC9/gef cells, most clones of PC9/afa cells develop acquired T790M mutations. PC9/afa cells are more than 100-fold resistant to afatinib compared to PC9 cells. Afatinib at 10-100nM inhibit EGFR, HER2, HER3, AKT and ERK phosphorylation in PC9/afa cells. However, same degree of inhibition can be achieved by less than 10nM in PC9 wild type cells. WZ8040 is an EGFR-TKI with high inhibitory activity against T790M and activating mutations, but with less activity against wild type EGFR. WZ8040 inhibited cell growth of PC9/wt and PC9/afa cells (B2 and C4) more significant than that of PC9/gef and PC9/WZ cells. WZ8040 inhibited EGF-induced phosphorylation of EGFR, AKT and ERK in PC9/wt and PC-9/afa cells (B2 and C4). Using an in vivo model xenografting with PC-9/wt and PC-9/afa cells, oral administration of WZ8040 (50 mg/kg) consistently reduced the tumor growth of PC9/wt and PC-9/afa cells.
Conclusion:
T790M mutation is the dominant resistant mechanism of afatinib resistant EGFR mutant PC9/afa cells and use of 3[rd] generation EGFR TKI successfully reversed afatinib resistance in PC9/afa cells.

P3.07-009 - Use of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: The Real-World Clinical Practice in Taiwan (ID 4062)
14:30 - 15:45 | Author(s): J.C. Yang
- Abstract
Background:
Adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard treatment for selected patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following curative surgery. This study evaluated the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for these cases among the general population in Taiwan.
Methods:
A population-based cohort was established by searching the database of the Taiwan Cancer Registry System to identify patients newly diagnosed with NSCLC for the period covering 2005 to 2009. Our target was patients with stage I, II and IIIA NSCLC who had undergone curative surgery. Medication prescription data were retrieved from the National Health Insurance Research Database, Taiwan. Chemotherapy administered within 3 months after the surgery was defined as adjuvant chemotherapy.
Results:
A total of 5789 patients received curative surgery for NSCLC, and the 1277 (22.1%) who had undergone adjuvant chemotherapy were included in this study. Overall, the most common adjuvant chemotherapy regimen was platinum plus gemcitabine (P + G) (25.7%), followed by platinum plus vinorelbine (P + V) (18.4%). For patients with stage II or IIIA disease, P + G remained the most common regimen, respectively (29.0% and 29.0%). However, for patients with stage I disease, the most common regimen was tegafur/uracil (30.7%). Analyzed by the diagnosis year, P + G was the most common adjuvant chemotherapy regimen until overtaken by P + V in 2009.
Conclusion:
Platinum plus gemcitabine regimen was the most commonly used adjuvant chemotherapy regimen in patients with operated stage II and IIIA NSCLC in Taiwan from 2005 to 2009.
