JCSE01.16 - Metastatic Lymph Nodes as High Immunogenicity Media for Perioperative Immunotherapy in Locally Advanced NSCLC (ID 3430)
07:00 - 11:15 | Author(s): Hai-yan Tu
- Abstract
Abstract
Background
Perioperative chemotherapy showed limited survival benefit and increased toxicities while neoadjuvant immunotherapy achieved great success in early phase trials. Both inter/intra-tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) between primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs), and rationale of superior efficacy for immunotherapy remained poorly explored in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods
We retrospectively collected 6 locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients. 15 tissue samples were performed multi-region whole exosome sequencing and TCR repertoire analysis as well as 18 matched metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs).
Results
290 somatic mutations in average were identified in primary LUAD (PL) and 441.6 for mLNs. Tumor mutation burden as well as tumor neoantigen burden was significant higher in mLNs than in primary LUAD (median value, 6.6mut/Mb vs. 3.4mut/Mb, P=0.0376; 229.5 neo counts vs. 165 neo counts, P=0.0287). Increased transversion ratio was found in mLNs compared to primary lesions. The genomic concordance between primary lesions and mLNs was 58.4%±12.5% and 33.3% for EGFR-mutation. 87 copy number variants were detected in 14 samples with 3q, 8q and X chromosome as frequently mutated cytobands. Small cell lung cancer functional pathway was enriched in mLNs exclusively. Both expression of PD-L1 and CD8 revealed high level (median value 20% and 40%) and consistence (5/6, 83.3%) between primary and metastatsis lesions. TCR clonality was 17.2% and 9.1% for primary and metastasis lesions, respectively with higher T cell diversity and intra-tumoral heterogeneity of TCR found in mLNs.
Conclusion
Extensive genomic and TCR ITH was found between primary LUAD and mLNs which may lead to mixed response to perioperative treatment. mLNs may serve as a better immunogenicity media for perioperative immunotherapy suggesting a potential adjuvant modality of immunotherapy performing lymph nodes sampling during surgery. Results of an initiated single cell sequencing program including paired samples were pending to further provide insights of diverse immune-microenvironment.

P1.01-122 - A Clinical Utility Study of Plasma DNA Next Generation Sequencing Guided Treatment of Uncommon Drivers in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancers (ID 2997)
09:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Hai-yan Tu
- Abstract
Background
Although EGFR and ALK testing in non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) is now considered standard practice, next generation sequencing (NGS) for extended molecular testing of uncommon drivers is often difficult to perform in the community due to factors surrounding tissue adequacy, availability and turnaround time. We set out to prospectively determine the clinical utility of plasma ctDNA NGS in detecting uncommon actionable drivers and their plasma guided treatment response.
Method
Patients with advanced NSCLC who were driver unknown after routine EGFR and ALK testing were eligible. Patients were enrolled prospectively at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (NY, USA) and Northern Cancer Institute (Sydney, Australia). Peripheral blood (10-20mL) was collected and sent to Resolution Bioscience (Kirkland, WA) for targeted ctDNA NGS using a bias-corrected hybrid-capture 21 gene assay in a CLIA laboratory achieving a mean unique read of at least 3000x and sensitivity above 0.1%. Clinical endpoints included detection of uncommon oncogenic drivers defined as actionable alterations in ROS1, RET, BRAF, MET, HER2, turnaround time, concordance with tissue NGS when available, and plasma guided treatment outcome.
Result
614 patients were prospectively accrued. Plasma NGS detected an uncommon oncogenic driver in 7% (45/614) of patients including ROS1, RET fusions, BRAF, MET exon 14 and HER2 exon 20 mutations, of whom 3% (20/614) were matched to targeted therapy producing 12 partial responses. Mean turnaround time for plasma NGS was significantly shorter than tissue NGS (10 vs 25 days, P <0.0001). 399 patients had concurrent tissue NGS results available for concordance analysis; Overall concordance, defined as the proportion of patients for whom an uncommon driver was uniformly detected or absent in both plasma and tissue NGS, was 94.7% (378/399, 95% confidence interval [CI] 92.1 – 96.7%). Among patients who tested plasma NGS positive for uncommon drivers, 87.5% (28/32, 95% CI 71.0-96.5%) were concordant on tissue NGS, and among patients tested tissue NGS positive for uncommon driver, 62.2% (28/45, 95% CI 46.5-76.2%) were concordant on plasma NGS.
Conclusion
Plasma NGS uncovered uncommon oncogenic drivers with faster turnaround time than tissue NGS, directly matched patients to targeted therapy and produced clinical responses independent of tissue results. A positive finding of an oncogenic driver in plasma is highly specific and can immediately guide treatment, but a negative finding may still require tissue biopsy. Our findings provide prospective evidence to support a “blood first” approach in molecular diagnostics for the care of patients with NSCLC.
