      Background:
      Cancer represents a large biological spectrum of disease ranging from localized to multisystem involvement with multiple intermediate stages. Oligometastatic NSCLC is thought to carry a better overall survival (OS) but there are few prospective studies that evaluate it.

      Methods:
      Prospective cohort study with NSCLC patients treated at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia of Mexico, with stage IV and oligometastatic disease (≤ 5 metastatic lesions). Patients were enrolled to receive, after 4 cycles of systemic treatment with platinum-doublet chemotherapy or 4 months of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with driver mutations, local consolidative treatment for the primary lesion and their metastases with chemoradiotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery or radiofrequency ablation based on the decision of the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Committee of the institution. The primary outcome was overall survival. The study was approved by de Institutional Ethics Committee and registered in clinical trials NCT02805530.

      Results:
      Up to this moment, we have evaluated 29 patients with NSCLC and oligometastatic disease. Of these, 62% males with a median age of 58 years (IQR 52.5-64.5), median CEA 10.2 (IQR 3.25-55), 59% former or currently smokers (median 37.5 package/year), wood-smoke exposure 28%. Overall 90% of the patients presented adenocarcinomas, 28% EGFR mutation (50% deletion of exon 19, 38% mutation on exon 21). At diagnosis 93% of the patients had symptoms mainly cough (48%), dyspnea (30%), neurologic symptoms (26%), weight loss (18%) and dysphonia (15%). We evaluated the oligometastatic disease status with PET-CT and MRI in 66% of the patients and the remaining with CT scan plus MRI. At diagnosis 66% had one or two metastases, 14% three to four metastases and 20% five metastases. For metastatic sites CNS was the main site of metastases in 52% of patients, 28% contralateral lung, 17% bone metastases and 7% at suprarenal. For radical treatment to the primary tumor, 59% chemoradiotherapy, 21% radiotherapy, 28% surgery and 3% radiofrequency. For definite treatment for the metastases, 45% received radiotherapy, 14% chemoradiotherapy and 17% surgery. The mean dose of radiotherapy received for the control of the primary tumor was 56.3 Gy (SD 11.28 Gy) and 29.5 Gy (SD 3.84Gy) for metastases. After multimodal treatment 24% had radiologic complete response. The median OS were 18.26 months (95%CI:10.89-25.64), the median OS for those with and without radiologic complete response were 28.58 months (95%CI:12.98-44.18) and 14.45 months (95%CI:10.40-18.51) respectively.

      Conclusion:
      Patients with oligometastatic NSCLC with agressive treatment have a large OS regardless their mutational status.

      P3.02b-125 - Failure to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Patterns of Progression in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 5089)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): F. Barron

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Some studies have evaluated the impact of patterns of progression after treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We evaluated the patterns of progression and prognosis of NSCLC patients that received TKI.

      Methods:
      Using the criteria established by Yang to define models of progression to TKI we did a retrospective analysis. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis.

      Results:
      Eighty-three NSCLC patients were included: 43 patients with dramatic-progression (51.8%), 26 with gradual-progression (31.3%), and 17 with local-progression (16.9%); demographic and clinical characteristics were similar in all subgroups. There was a significant difference in the median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) among the three groups, for the group with dramatic-progression it was 9.1 months, 16 months for gradual-progression and 11.9 for local-progression (P: 0.044). The overall survival (OS) was different among the three groups, for patients in gradual-progression 56 months, for patients in dramatic-progression 30 months and local-progression 36.4 months (figure A). Additionally 41.7% were treated with afatinib after progression to erlotinib and gefitinib. PFS in all patients was 8.08 months. Patients that present asymptomatic progression have a longer OS compared to those who present symptomatic progression (42 vs 31.9 months; p = 0.048). Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      There is a subgroup of patients with NSCLC and EGFR mutations with better prognosis and they can be identified according to the pattern of progression and presence of symptoms, as well as the duration of response during treatment. These could help decide which patients will benefit from continuing the anti-EGFR therapy beyond progression or to prescribe an aggressive approach when there is oligometastatic disease or local progression, especially in countries where access to third-generation TKIs is limited.
