      Background:
      Tumor PD-L1 IHC relates moderately with treatment outcome following anti-PD1 therapy in pts with NSCLC and single biopsies do not account for tumor heterogeneity. Aim: 1. Assess safety of the PET procedures. 2. Quantify [89]Zirconium-labeled nivolumab ([89]Zr-nivo) and [18]F-labeled BMS-986192 ([18]F-PD-L1) uptake. 3. Assess tracer uptake heterogeneity. 4. Correlate tracer uptake with PD-1/PD-L1 IHC in tumor, stroma and with treatment outcome.

      Method:
      NSCLC pts eligible for treatment with nivolumab were included. Pts received whole body [18]F-PD-L1 and [89]Zr-nivo PET scans. Baseline tumor biopsy was required to assess PD-(L)1 IHC status (28.8 assay). SUV~peak~ was calculated for delineable lesions and correlated to PD-(L)1 IHC and response after 12 wks of nivolumab treatment.

      Result:
      10 pts (3 ≥50%, 5 ≥1%, 5 negative by PD-L1 IHC) were enrolled and 37 lesions analysed. No toxicity related to radiotracer was observed. Tumor uptake of both tracers was visualized in all pts, but not in all lesions. Tracer uptake varied among pts with mean [18]F-PD-L1 SUV~peak~ 4.6, range 0.5 - 14.4 and mean [89]Zr-nivo SUV~peak~ 5.0, range 1.6 – 11 (p=0.03) and within pts with mean SUV~peak~ difference 3.6-fold (±2.1) and 2.4-fold (±0.77) between lesions for [18]F-PD-L1 and [89]Zr-nivo, respectively. For lesions with ≥50% PD-L1 IHC, mean [18]F-PD-L1 SUV~peak~ was 8.0 (±4.7) as compared to 3.5 (±1.6) for lesions with <50% PD-L1 IHC (p=0.03). For tumors with high TIL/ stromal PD-1 expression, mean [89]Zr-nivo SUV~peak~ was 8.6 (±2.4) as compared to 6.1 (±2.1) for lesions with low PD-1 expression (p=0.1). Mean SUV~peak ~for [18]F-PD-L1 was 8.4 (±5.4) for pts with PR and 4.5 (±2.9) for pts with PD/SD (p=0.3). Mean SUV~peak~ for [89]Zr-nivo was 7.8 (±1.8) for pts with PR and 5.4 (±2.2) for pts with PD/SD (p=0.2).

      Conclusion:
      1. PET-imaging with both tracers is safe and feasible, with good tumor-to-normal tissue contrast. 2. Tumor uptake showed heterogeneity among pts and among tumors within pts. 3. Pts with ≥50% tumor PD-L1 expression showed higher [18]F-PD-L1 uptake. 4. Pts with high PD-1 expression showed higher [89]Zr-nivo uptake, and pts with PR demonstrated higher [18]F-PD-L1 and [89]Zr-nivo tracer uptake than pts with PD/SD, although these are without statistical significance which may be due to the small dataset.

      MA 17.10 - Toxicity Results from the Randomized Phase III NVALT-11 Study of Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation vs. Observation in Stage III NSCLC (ID 9262)

      15:45 - 17:30  |  Author(s): Egbert F Smit

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      NVALT-11 randomized trial showed that PCI reduced the proportion of stage III NSCLC patients with symptomatic BM from 28 % to 5 % (Groen ASCO 2017). Here, we report on the toxicity.

      Method:
      We randomized between PCI or observation in radically treated stage III NSCLC. Primary endpoint: incidence of symptomatic brain metastases; secondary endpoints: OS, toxicity and quality of life.

      Result:
      Between 2009 and 2015 a total of 195 pts were registered, 175 were randomized, 87 received PCI and 88 pts were in the observation arm. Median follow up: 48.5 months (95% CI, 39-54). Neurological adverse events (AE) of all grades that occurred more frequently in the PCI vs. the observation arm: cognitive disturbance (18 vs. 2 pt; p< 10[-4]) and memory impairment (25 vs. 7 pt; p<10[-3]). No significant difference in G3-4 cognitive disturbance and memory impairment. Non-neurological AE of all grades that were more frequent in the PCI arm: alopecia (36 vs. 5 pt; p<10[-6]), fatigue (55 vs. 29 patients; p<10[-4]), nausea (30 vs. 15 patients; p=0.01), anorexia (6 vs. 0 patients; p=0.01) and dysphagia (11 vs. 2 pt; p=0.01). Of the G3-4 AE, only fatigue was significantly more present in the PCI arm (13 vs. 2 pt, p < 0.01). Scored as treatment-related, neurological toxicities of all grades that occurred more frequently in the PCI vs. the observation arm: cognitive disturbance (7 vs. 0 pt; p=0.01), dizziness (7 vs. 0 pt; p=0.01) and memory impairment (14 vs. 0 pt; p<10[-4]). No significant differences in G3-4 toxicities, with only one patient reporting severe cognitive disturbance in the PCI group. Scored as treatment-related, non-neurological toxicities of all grades that were more frequent in the PCI arm: alopecia (26 vs. 1 pt; p<10[-6]), fatigue (19 vs. 2 patients; p<10[-4]), nausea (16 vs. 0 patients; p<10[-5]), headache (19 vs. 1 pt; p<10[-5]), rash (8 vs. 0 pt; p<0.01) and vomiting (9 vs. 0 pt; p<0.01). No significant differences in G3-4 toxicities, with 3 patients reporting severe fatigue, 2 nausea and 1 vomiting, all in the PCI group. Overall Qol was worse in the PCI arm 3 months post-treatment, but was similar to observation thereafter.

      Conclusion:
      PCI related symptoms were mainly grade 1-2 memory and cognitive disturbances and fatigue. G3-4 toxicities were very rare. QoL was only temporarily affected by PCI. The side effects of PCI should be balanced against deteriorating BM symptoms and the lack of OS benefit (Groen ASCO 2017).

      Abstract:
      The radiological term GGO or ground-glass opacity was established when high-resolution CT (HRCT) became part of standard practice, and describes “a hazy attenuation of lung, with preservation of bronchial and vascular margins: caused by partial filling of air spaces, interstitial thickening, partial collapse of alveoli, normal expiration, or increased capillary blood volume…” (1). As such GGO is a nonspecific finding but depending on the clinical circumstances it may suggest a specific diagnosis and have consequences for the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Most primary lung tumours present with masslike areas of consolidation, however there are other patterns. A specific subtype of adenocarcinoma may present as GGO, and this was described as bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) (2). It reflects the unique lepidic growth pattern along the alveolar septa with a relative lack of acinar filling. The classification BAC was used for a broad spectrum of tumours including small non-invasive peripheral lung tumours, invasive adenocarcinoma with minimal invasion, mixed subtype invasive adenocarcinoma, mucinous and nonmucinous subtypes, and widespread disease. As in this larger group GGO is present in only a minority, it is difficult to conclude from the chemotherapy trials done specifically in BAC (3) what the efficacy of chemotherapy in tumours with as feature GGO is, nor has the pathological feature of lepidic growth been reported in these studies. Overall the response rate in BAC of single agents seems not to be different from other types of NSCLC. At a later stage, it seemed that gefitinib was especially effective in the non-mucinous subtype (4), in retrospect this might be explained by the molecular characteristics of both. EGFR mutation was more related to lepidic growth, whereas KRAS was especially found in mucinous types (5). It became clear that the term BAC leads to confusion and is representing a very heterogeneous group of tumours. It was therefore recommended to discontinue the use of the term BAC (6), and use a more descriptive classification based on histological findings. Within this new grouping the radiological description of ground-glass opacity was related to the pathological pattern of adenocarcinoma: pure GGO would favour adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) or possibly minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and GGO with a solid component > 5 mm in diameter would favour lepidic adenocarcinoma (7). The natural course of pure GGO or GGO with a small solid component is rather benign. In a large Japanese cohort followed for 4.3 + 2.5 years (mean) the frequency of change from pure GGO towards a - still small - solid component was found in 6.6% (69 out of 1046), of the cases initially diagnosed with a very small solid component change into part-solid nodules was seen in almost 20% (16 of 81) (8). All these observations come from resected tumours and cannot be diagnosed in small biopsies, this makes it difficult to characterize more advanced adenocarcinoma in the same way. The likely most GGO containing advanced tumours will be those diagnosed with (dominant) lepidic growth (9). Reports of chemotherapy efficacy are infrequent but do not show a real difference in sensitivity if treated with one of the commonly used regimens carboplatin – paclitaxel (10). Although the LACE-Bio study contains only small numbers of cases with lepidic growth, combining these patients with the ones with the prognostically less unfavourable histology (papillary, acinar) failed to demonstrate benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (11). The frequency of finding more than one GGO (with or without a solid component) is rather high and reported as almost 30% (12). If this is in a patient with stage IV NSCLC it is questionable whether these are separate primaries or metastases. The behaviour of these lesions has not been systematically reported, personal observations confirm the rather indolent role of these lesions, usually without any pathological proof of malignancy, and no change during systemic therapy for an other stage IV tumour. The question whether the presence of GGO as such, either as part of the stage IV tumour or as a different lesion, should affect the choice of systemic therapy can not be answered. References: 1.

      OA 05.05 - Brigatinib in Crizotinib-Refractory ALK+ NSCLC: Updated Efficacy and Safety Results From ALTA, a Randomized Phase 2 Trial (ID 8027)

      15:45 - 17:30  |  Author(s): Egbert F Smit

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Brigatinib, a next-generation ALK inhibitor, recently received accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of patients with metastatic ALK+ NSCLC who have progressed on or are intolerant to crizotinib. We report updated data from the randomized phase 2 trial (ALTA; NCT02094573), which was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of 2 brigatinib regimens in patients with crizotinib-refractory, advanced ALK+ NSCLC.

      Method:
      Patients were stratified by presence of brain metastases at baseline and best response to prior crizotinib and randomized 1:1 to receive brigatinib at 90 mg qd (arm A) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B). Investigator-assessed confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 was the primary endpoint.

      Result:
      Among 222 patients (n=112/n=110, arm A/B), median age was 51/57 years; 71%/67% had brain metastases. As of February 21, 2017, 17 full months since the last patient enrolled, median follow-up was 16.8/18.6 months and 32%/41% of patients continued to receive brigatinib in A/B. The table shows brigatinib efficacy. Per independent review committee, confirmed ORR was 51%/55% and median PFS was 9.2/16.7 months in A/B. Among patients with measurable baseline brain metastases (n=26/n=18, A/B), confirmed intracranial ORR was 50%/67% as of January 24, 2017; median intracranial DoR was not reached/16.6 months. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were: nausea (38%/47%, A/B), diarrhea (28%/44%), cough (28%/40%), headache (30%/35%), and vomiting (36%/30%); the most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were: increased creatine phosphokinase (5%/13%), hypertension (6%/8%), pneumonia (4%/5%), and increased lipase (5%/4%). Dose reduction (9%/30%, A/B) or discontinuation (4%/11%) due to TEAEs was reported.

      Conclusion:
      In ALTA, brigatinib continues to show substantial efficacy and acceptable safety at both dose levels, with numerically longer PFS and higher intracranial ORR at the recommended dosing regimen of 180 mg qd (with lead-in) vs 90 mg qd.

      P1.01-001 - Depth of Target Lesion Response to Brigatinib and Its Association With Outcomes in Patients With ALK+ NSCLC in the ALTA Trial (ID 8035)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Egbert F Smit

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Depth of target lesion response to crizotinib has been associated with overall survival (OS) (J Clin Oncol 2016;34:abstract 2590). ALTA (NCT02094573) is an ongoing randomized phase 2 trial of brigatinib, an ALK inhibitor, in crizotinib-refractory advanced ALK+ NSCLC patients. As the ALTA primary endpoint of confirmed objective response rate (cORR), a binary outcome, might not fully capture clinical benefit, we examined the association of maximum decrease in target lesions with progression-free survival (PFS) and OS.

      Method:
      Patients were randomized to receive brigatinib at 90 mg qd (arm A; n=112) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B; n=110). Arms were pooled in this analysis. Patients with any target lesion shrinkage were sorted into 4 groups based on greatest decrease from baseline per RECIST v1.1; outcomes in these groups were compared with outcomes in patients with no shrinkage.

      Result:
      As of February 21, 2017, cORR in arm A/B (ITT population) was 46%/55% per investigators. 201/222 patients had ≥1 evaluable response assessment with 18.4-month median follow-up. Median age of these patients was 53 years; 57% were female. Patients with target lesion shrinkage (vs none) had numerically longer PFS (hazard ratios [95% CIs]: 0.61 [0.30–1.22], 1%–25% shrinkage; 0.47 [0.24–0.91], 26%–50%; 0.54 [0.28–1.05], 51%–75%; 0.30 [0.15–0.63], 76%–100%) and numerically higher estimated 1-year OS (Table). In a multivariable analysis, 76%–100% shrinkage (vs none) was independently associated with longer PFS/OS (hazard ratios [95% CIs]: 0.37 [0.18–0.76]/0.35 [0.14–0.89]); arm B (vs A) was independently associated with longer PFS.

      Conclusion:
      In this exploratory post hoc analysis, brigatinib-treated patients with target lesion shrinkage, including those without confirmed partial response, had improved PFS/OS vs patients without shrinkage. Patients with the deepest response (76%–100% shrinkage) appeared to have the longest PFS and higher estimated 1-year OS.

      P2.03-058 - Tiger-3: A Phase 3 Randomized Study of Rociletinib Vs Chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 8395)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Egbert F Smit

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Rociletinib, an oral, irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), selectively targets activating mutations in EGFR and the acquired resistance mutation T790M and demonstrated antitumor activity in the phase 1/2 TIGER-X study (NCT01526928). Initial results are reported from the TIGER-3 study (NCT02322281) of rociletinib vs chemotherapy in EGFR TKI-resistant patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

      Method:
      Eligibility criteria included: metastatic or unresectable, locally advanced, EGFR-mutated NSCLC; radiological progression on most recent TKI therapy; ≥1 line of platinum doublet chemotherapy. Patients were not selected based on T790M status. Patients (N=900) were to be randomized (1:1:1) to rociletinib 500 or 625 mg BID or investigator’s choice of chemotherapy (pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, or paclitaxel). The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) (RECIST v1.1); objective response rate (ORR) was a secondary endpoint. The rociletinib dosing groups were combined and compared with chemotherapy in a step-down procedure (patients with a centrally confirmed T790M mutation, followed by all randomized patients).

      Result:
      TIGER-3 enrollment was halted upon discontinuation of rociletinib development in NSCLC in 2016; therefore, target enrollment was not achieved. TIGER-3 enrolled 75 patients in the rociletinib groups [500 mg BID, n=53; 625 mg BID, n=22] and 74 in the chemotherapy group. Median age was 62 years, 69.1% had ECOG Performance Status of 1, 39.6% were Asian, 58.4% were female, and median number of prior therapies was 3. PFS and ORR data are presented in the Table. The most common adverse events (all grade; grade ≥3) in the rociletinib group were diarrhea (62.7%; 2.7%), hyperglycemia (58.7%; 24.0%), nausea (37.3%; 4.0%), fatigue (37.3%; 8.0%), and decreased appetite (37.3%; 0%) and in the chemotherapy group were nausea (27.4%; 5.5%), anemia (24.7%; 2.7%), and fatigue (24.7%; 9.6%).

      Background:
      The treatment choice for lung cancer patients is dependent on the expertise of the treating physician and the tumor board meetings (TBM) in which a treatment plan is discussed multidisciplinary. However, despite availability of a national guideline, the treatment selection criteria for NSCLC patients are not very explicit. Consequently, this may result in a variation of treatment recommendations across TBM. In this study, we investigated the variation in treatment recommendations by TBM within the Netherlands for 3 patients. Furthermore, patient characteristics associated with the treatment choice were explored.

      Method:
      A qualitative study was performed across 9 TBM at general hospitals in the Netherlands of which three hospitals had a radiotherapy(RT) department. Three existing patient cases were selected. The full medical history including imaging examinations was provided. Patient 1: 92years, cT3-4N0-1M0 (stage III). Patient 2: 73years, cT3NxM1b oligometastatic disease with a single adrenal metastasis (stage IV). Patient 3: 66years, cT2b-3N2M0 (stage III). All patients had a good performance score (WHO 0-1). The discussions and treatment plans during TBM were audiotaped. Analysis of the tapes was performed using open and axial coding techniques.

      Result:
      For patient 1 the recommended treatment was radical RT (45%), palliative RT (33%), surgery + RT (11%) and restaging before any treatment recommendation (11%). For patient 2 the recommended treatment was concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) (45%), concurrent CRT + adrenal resection (33%), palliative RT (11%) and sequential CRT (11%). For patient 3 the recommended treatment was concurrent CRT (89%) and sequential CRT (11%). The patient characteristic ‘age’ was quoted in 96% of the treatment discussions, followed by ‘performance score’(89%) and ‘medical history’(85%). Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      In this qualitative study, a large variation in recommended treatment across the Netherlands was observed. The most extreme variation was seen in the treatment recommendation for the elder patient (92years), with treatment plans ranging from palliative RT to radical surgery.
