      Background:
      Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is considered as an incurable disease with median survival of 6 to 12 months. Palliative platinum based chemotherapy is the standard therapy. It has been suggested that patients with one synchronous isolated metastasis (SIM) suitable for local therapy have longer survival.

      Methods:
      Database of the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Group of our centre was retrospectively screened from 1993 to 2012. Consecutive NSCLC of any stage were included. Median overall survivals (OS) between stage III and stage IV (SIM and non SIM) were compared with log-rank test. For the multivariate analyses Cox models were performed.

      Results:
      4917 patients were registered, 85 were excluded because of missing data. Among the study population, 1335 (27.6%) patients were stage III NSCLC, 1483 (31%) non SIM stage IV and 109 (2%) SIM stage IV. SIM site were mainly brain (n=70, 64%) and adrenal gland (n=16, 15%). Clinical and histological data differed substantially between each stage (Table 1). Median OS was significantly longer in SIM stage IV compared to non-SIM stage IV (18 [IQR, 9-33] months vs 6 [IQR, 2-13] months respectively, p-value<10[-4]) and not significantly different between SIM stage IV and stage III (14 months [IQR, 6-31], p-value=0.05). In multivariate analysis (Table 2), we still observed that median survival of SIM stage IV and stage III were not significantly different (p-value= 0.47).Figure 1 Figure 2





      Conclusion:
      OS of SIM stage IV is remarkably improved compared to non SIM stage IV, and comparable to stage III. This data supports aggressive treatment in the subgroup of SIM stage IV.

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

      18:30 - 20:00  |  Author(s): D. Moro-Sibilot

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • 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.

      ORAL03.06 - Activity of Crizotinib in MET Amplified NSCLC: Preliminary Results of the AcSé Trial (ID 1200)

      10:45 - 12:15  |  Author(s): D. Moro-Sibilot

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Crizotinib (crz) is registered only for the treatment of patients (pts) with ALK-translocated lung cancer. Crz is also a MET inhibitor. MET is amplified in several malignancies. Activity of crz in MET amplified (+) tumors was explored as part of the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) AcSé program, including both access to tumor molecular diagnosis and an exploratory multi-tumor 2-stage design phase II trial. We report here results in pts with MET + NSCLC.

      Methods:
      MET analysis on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples was proposed in 170 investigating centers and performed in 28 regional INCa molecular genetic centers. MET+ was explored by FISH in tumor samples showing an IHC score of ≥2+. Pts with a tumor showing > 6 MET copies, whatever the MET/CEN7 ratio, were eligible, providing they were not eligible for any other academic or industry trial evaluating another MET inhibitor. Study treatment consisted in crz 250 mg BID. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were assessed every 8 weeks, using RECIST v1.1.

      Results:
      From Aug. 5, 2013 to Mar. 1, 2015, 25 pts with MET+ NSCLC were enrolled and received crz. Median age was 59 years (range 30–92). Forty-four percent were females, 92% had tumors of non-squamous histology, and 96% presented with metastatic disease at study entry. Median number of prior treatments was 2 (range 0 – 11). Eight pts were still on treatment at the cut-off date, 17 have stopped crz (15 progressive diseases (PD), 1 adverse event (AE), 1 patient’s choice). Among the 18 pts evaluable for response after 8 weeks, we observed 7 partial responses, 6 stable diseases and 5 PD, leading to an ORR of 39% [95% CI:17-64], and a DCR of72% [47-90]. DCR at 6 months was 22% (4 pts out of the 18 evaluable pts). Crz was well tolerated with only 5 grade ≥3 (2 AE + 3 SAEs) and 3 grade 1-2 SAEs. Most common AEs, mainly grade 1 or 2, were nausea (60% of pts), visual disorders (52%), anemia (52%), elevated transaminases (48%) and vomiting (40%).

      Conclusion:
      Nationwide biomarker-driven access to crz for pts with MET+ malignancy is feasible. Crz was well tolerated and showed responses in pretreated MET+ lung cancers. Survival data and duration of response will be presented.

      ORAL06.01 - Genomic Characterization of Large-Cell Neuroendocrine Lung Tumors (ID 1667)

      10:45 - 12:15  |  Author(s): D. Moro-Sibilot

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Neuroendocrine lung tumours account for 25% of all lung cancer cases, and they range from low-aggressive pulmonary carcinoids (PCA) to highly malignant small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and large-cell neuroendocrine lung carcinoma (LCNEC). The last two are strongly associated with heavy smoking and are typically detected at a clinically advanced stage, having a poor survival. Comprehensive genomic analyses in lung neuroendocrine tumours are difficult because of limited availability of tissue. While more effort has been done in the context of SCLC, the detailed molecular features of LCNEC remain largely unknown.

      Methods:
      We conducted 6.0 SNP array analyses of 60 LCNEC tumours, exome sequencing of 55 tumor-normal pairs, genome sequencing of 11 tumour-normal pairs, transcriptome sequencing of 69 tumours, and expression arrays on 60 tumors. Data analyses were performed using in house developed and published pipelines.

      Results:
      Analyses of chromosomal gene copy number revealed amplifications of MYCL1, FGFR1, MYC, IRS2 and TTF1. We also observed deletions of CDKN2A and PTPRD. TTF1 amplifications are characteristic of lung adenocarcinoma (AD); CDKN2A deletions are frequent alterations in both AD and squamous-cell lung carcinoma (SQ); FGFR1 amplifications are found in SQ and, less frequently, in SCLC; and MYCL1 and IRS2 amplifications are frequent events in SCLC. Similar to the copy number data, we found patterns of mutations characteristic of other lung cancer subtypes: TP53 was the most frequently mutated gene (75%) followed by RB1 (27%), and inactivation of both TP53 and RB1, which is the hallmark of SCLC, occurred in 20% of the cases. Mutations in STK11 and KEAP1-NFE2L2 (frequently seen in AD and SQ) were found in 23% and 22% of the specimens, respectively. Interestingly, mutations in RB1 and STK11/KEAP1 occurred in a mutually exclusive fashion (p-value=0.016). Despite the heterogeneity observed at the mutation level, analysis of the pattern of expression of LCNEC in comparison with the other lung cancer subtypes (AD, SQ, SCLC, and PCA) points to LCNEC as being an independent entity. An average mutation rate of 10.7 mutations per megabase was detected in LCNEC, which is in line with the rate observed in other lung tumours associated with smoking. We found that, similar to SCLC, the mutation signatures associated with APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases, smoking, and age (based on Alexandrov et al 2013) were the predominant ones in LCNEC. However, the contribution of the individual SCLC and LCNEC samples to these three signatures was quite different, and we are currently exploring it.

      Conclusion:
      Taking into account somatic copy number and mutation data, we distinguished two well-defined groups of LCNEC: an SCLC-like group, carrying alterations in MYCL1, ISR2, and in both RB1 and TP53; and a group resembling AD and SQ, with alterations in CDKN2A, TTF1, KEAP1-NFE2L2, and STK11. Although these results suggest that LCNEC might be a mix of different lung cancer subtypes, mutation clonality and expression analyses show that they are likely to be a separate entity, sharing molecular characteristics with the other lung cancer subtypes. Their heterogeneity suggests that LCNEC might represent an evolutionary trunk that can branch to SCLC or AD/SQ.

      ORAL11.01 - Bevacizumab 15mg/kg Plus Cisplatin-Pemetrexed (CP) vs CP in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM): IFCT-GFPC-0701 MAPS Randomized Phase 3 Trial (ID 2142)

      10:45 - 12:15  |  Author(s): D. Moro-Sibilot

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      MPM median overall survival (OS) did not exceed 13 months with pemetrexed-platinum doublet, with virtually no surviving patients at 5 years. Vascular endothelial growth factor is a potent mitogen for MPM cells.

      Methods:
      In this French multicenter randomized phase 3 trial, eligible patients had unresectable, histologically proved MPM, age < 76, no prior chemo, PS 0-2, no thrombosis, nor bleeding. Randomized patients (1:1) received pem 500 mg/m2, CDDP 75 mg/m2 at D1, with (arm B) or without bevacizumab (arm A), 15 mg/kg Q21D, for 6 cycles. Arm B non-progressive patients received bevacizumab maintenance therapy until progression or toxicity. Primary endpoint was OS. 445 patients were to be randomized, and 385 events observed, to show a significant OS improvement, with 80% statistical power, 5% a-risk.

      Results:
      From Feb. 2008 to Jan. 2014, 448 patients were included in 73 centers. Males: 75.4%, median age: 65.7 years (range 34.7-75.9), PS 0-1: 96.7%. The IDMC recommended a second interim analysis after 85% of events. On 01-Jan-2015, the duration since last news was < 30 days in 105 out of 106 still living patients. Overall survival was significantly longer in the experimental arm (median: 18.8 months, 95%CI[15.9-22.6] vs. 16.1 months, 95%CI[14.0-17.9] for the reference arm, (adj.HR = 0.76, 95%CI[0.61; 0.94], p = 0.012). With only 46/448 non-progressive patients at the date of analysis, median PFS was 9.6 months, 95%CI[8.5-10.6] in bevacizumab arm vs. 7.5 months, 95%CI[6.8-8.1] (adj.HR = 0.62, 95%CI[0.50-0.75], p < 0.0001). G3-4 hematological toxicities did not significantly differ in the two arms (49.5% vs. 47.3%). Significantly more G3 proteinuria (0.0 vs. 3.1%), G3 hypertension (0.0 vs. 23%), G3-4 arterial thrombotic events (0.0 vs. 2.7%) were observed in bevacizumab arm. QOL and exploratory biomarkers studies will be also presented at time of the meeting.

      Conclusion:
      Bevacizumab addition to pemetrexed/cis-platin provides a significantly longer survival in pts with MPM, with acceptable toxicity, making this triplet a new treatment paradigm.

      ORAL33.01 - Crizotinib Outcome and Post-Progression Management in ALK+ NSCLC: IFCT-1302 CLINALK (ID 1355)

      16:45 - 18:15  |  Author(s): D. Moro-Sibilot

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Phase III trials have demonstrated the superiority of the ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (ALK-TKI) crizotinib compared to standard chemotherapy in advanced ALK positive non-small cell lung cancers (ALK+ NSCLC) in first line and second line setting. Objective response rate (ORR) with crizotinib ranged from 65 to 75% and median progression free survival (PFS) from 7.7 to 10.9 months. However a resistance to crizotinib always occurs. The French Cooperative Thoracic Intergroup (IFCT)-1302 CLINALK study aimed to describe clinical outcome and post-progression management in a large cohort of French patients with ALK+ NSCLC treated with crizotinib.

      Methods:
      IFCT-1302 CLINALK is a multicentric observational retrospective study. Patients with ALK+ NSCLC from centers of the IFCT network were included according to the main following criteria: advanced stage III or stage IV NSCLC, ALK immunochemistry (IHC) and/or ALK FISH positivity, crizotinib treatment in the setting of the French expanded access cohort program or as approved drug. Epidemiological and clinical data, crizotinib efficacy (objective response based on RECIST, PFS, overall survival (OS)), duration of treatment with crizotinib after disease progression and post progression outcome were collected on a case report form. The study inclusion period was from November 18 2011 to December 31 2013. The data cut-off was December 31 2014.

      Results:
      318 patients were included (median age 58.3, female 49.4%, caucasian 98.6%, non-smoker 55.1%, performance status 0/1 78.7%, adenocarcinoma 91.7%, stage III 14.5%, stage IV 85.5%, brain metastasis 35.9%). IHC was positive in 151/173 patients and FISH in 279/283 patients. Before crizotinib treatment, patients received platinum-based chemotherapy in 89% of cases and pemetrexed-based chemotherapy in 76.1%. Crizotinib was prescribed as first-line treatment in 17 patients (5.3%), second-line in 168 patients (52.8%), third-line in 58 patients (18.2%) and more than third-line in 75 patients (23.7%). Objective response was complete response in 1 patient (0.3%), partial response in 126 patients (40.0%), stable disease in 62 patients (19.7%) and progression in 58 patients (18.4%). ORR was 40.3 % (95%CI, 34.9-45.7). 262/318 patients presented progressive disease (82.4%) at time of analysis. Median PFS was 6.9 months (95%CI, 5.7-8.6). Median OS with crizotinib was 18.7 months (95%CI, 15.2-22.5). Median duration of treatment with crizotinib after disease progression was 56 days (29-203). Among 143 patients with subsequent treatments, crizotinib was rechallenged in 32 patients (22.4%). 58/143 patients (40.6%) were treated after crizotinib failure with another ALK-TKI, either alectinib (19/58, 32.8%) or ceritinib (40/58, 69.0%). The ALK-TKI sequence was crizotinib-alectinib in 18 patients, crizotinib-ceritinib in 39 patients and crizotinib-alectinib-ceritinib in 1 patient.

      Conclusion:
      This retrospective study of 318 patients with ALK+ NSCLC showed a remarkable efficacy of crizotinib, with a 18.7 months median OS, a 40.3% ORR and a 6.9 months median PFS. However, ORR and mPFS were lower than those reported in phase III trials, which may be due to less stringent selection criteria. Analysis of predictive factors of response and survival including post-progression strategies will be presented.

      ORAL33.05 - Pooled Analysis of CNS Response to Alectinib in Two Studies of Pre-Treated ALK+ NSCLC (ID 1219)

      16:45 - 18:15  |  Author(s): D. Moro-Sibilot

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      The central nervous system (CNS) is a frequent site of progression in ALK+ NSCLC patients treated with crizotinib, thus good CNS efficacy is of crucial importance for new ALK inhibitors. Two recent phase II studies examined the efficacy and safety of alectinib in patients with ALK+ NSCLC who progressed after crizotinib; data from both studies were pooled to further examine the efficacy of alectinib in the CNS.

      Methods:
      Both phase II, single-arm, multicenter studies enrolled ALK+ NSCLC patients previously treated with crizotinib. One study was conducted in North America only (NP28761; NCT01871805), the other was global (NP28673; NCT01801111). All patients received 600mg oral alectinib twice daily. A primary endpoint of both studies was objective response rate (ORR) by independent review committee (IRC) and key secondary endpoints included CNS ORR by IRC and CNS duration of response (DOR). Response was determined according to RECIST v1.1. All patients underwent imaging at baseline to assess CNS metastases.

      Results:
      The pooled analysis population comprised 225 patients (n=87 from NP28761 and n=138 from NP28673); baseline characteristics were similar to each study population, with most patients being non-smokers, <65 years old with ECOG performance status 0/1. Median follow-up was 27.7 weeks. Fifty patients had measurable CNS disease at baseline (MD) while a further 85 had non-measurable disease (NMD) at baseline; both groups together (M+NMD) comprised 135 patients, 60% of the overall study population. In the MD group, 34 patients (68%) had received prior radiotherapy, but 24 of them had completed that radiotherapy >6 months prior to starting alectinib. For the M+NMD group, 94 patients (70%) had received prior radiotherapy, with 55 completing this >6 months prior to starting alectinib. In the MD group, 30/50 patients had a CNS response (60.0%; 95% CI 45.2–73.6%), with 7 complete responses (CR; 14.0%) and a CNS DCR of 90.0% (78.2–96.7%). In the M+NMD group, 22 additional patients had a CR (29/135; 21.5%), giving a CNS ORR of 38.5% (30.3–47.3%), with a CNS DCR of 85.2% (78.1–90.7%). Complete responses were seen in patients with and without prior radiotherapy. Median CNS DOR after only 17% of events in both groups was 7.6 months (5.8–7.6) in the MD group (n=30) and 7.6 months (5.8–10.3) in the M+NMD group (n=52), which is similar to the systemic DOR reported in both studies (Ou et al, ASCO 2015; Gandhi et al, ASCO 2015). Tolerability was also similar to the overall study population.

      Conclusion:
      Alectinib showed promising efficacy in the CNS in ALK+ NSCLC patients previously treated with crizotinib, achieving a complete response rate of 22% and a DCR of 85%, irrespective of prior radiotherapy. The CNS response was sustained for an equivalent duration to the systemic response, suggesting that alectinib could provide an effective treatment for patients with ALK+ NSCLC while actively targeting CNS metastases. The ongoing phase III clinical studies will assess the systemic and CNS efficacy of alectinib versus crizotinib as front-line therapy for ALK+ NSCLC patients.
