      Background:
      Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), an anti-HER2 antibody conjugated with vinca-alkaloid, has been approved for clinical use in HER2-positive breast cancer. HER2-alterations are detected even in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We have launched a phase II trial of T-DM1 monotherapy for patients with HER2-positive lung cancer.

      Method:
      Eligible patients had pathologically diagnosed NSCLC with documented HER2-positivity (immunohistochemistry [IHC] 3+, both IHC 2+ and fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH] +, or exon 20 insertion mutation) and were previously treated with standard chemotherapy. Thirty patients would receive T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1.

      Result:
      This study was early terminated due to the limited efficacy, leading that only 16 patients were registered. The demographics of the 15 evaluable patients were as follows: age (median; 67, range: 45-77), sex (male; 47%), performance status (0-1; 80%), histology (non-squamous; 100%), HER2 status (IHC3+; 33%, IHC2+/FISH; 20%, and mutation; 47%) and number of prior chemotherapeutic regimens (median; 4, range: 1-7). Of 15 patients, one, who possessed HER2 mutation achieved a partial response, resulting in ORR of 6.7%. None of the 15 patients experienced treatment-related deaths. Survival data would be presented at the meeting.

      Conclusion:
      T-DM1 has a limited efficacy for HER2-positive NSCLCs in our cohort. Additional molecular approaches are warranted for the precision medicine in HER2-positive tumors. UMIN registration number 000019446.

      OA 12.03 - Clinical Features of Advanced Lung Cancer Harboring HER2 Aberrations: A Large Prospective Cohort Study (HER2-CS STUDY) (ID 8694)

      11:00 - 12:30  |  Author(s): T. Kozuki

      • Abstract

      • Slides

      Background:
      HER2 is a potential driver oncogene. HER2-targeted precision therapy has been tested in NSCLC. However, the demographics of HER2-positive NSCLC have not been defined systematically.

      Method:
      Pts with advanced NSCLC were registered. HER2-IHC and FISH assays were performed with commercial kits. HER2 mutations were identified by the direct sequencing. The aim of this study was to clarify the frequency, characteristics and outcome of HER2-positive NSCLC.

      Result:
      Of 1,126 tumors screened (Table A), 34 (3.0%) were IHC3+, and 34 (3.0%) were IHC2+/FISH+. Among the 724 EGFR wild-type tumors, 21 (2.9%) were HER2-mutant tumors, including A775_G776insYVMA (n = 15). Interestingly, the IHC3+ tumors and mutant tumors were entirely exclusive. Female pts had HER2 mutant tumors more frequently, while IHC/FISH+ tumors were detected more often in males (Table B). HER2-positive tumors had similar survival outcome to triple negative tumors, but significantly worse prognoses than EGFR-mutant and ALK-positive tumors (p < 0.05 each). The treament info will be presented at the meeting.

      A. The Genotype-Specific Subsets*
      HER2 (n = 88) EGFR (n = 358) ALK (n = 44) Triple negative /unknown (n = 662) Total (n = 1,126)
      Age, median Sex (male) Smoking habit Non-Sq Stage III/IV 69 61 (69%) 58 (66%) 78 (89%) 51 (58%) 69 142 (40%) 142 (40%) 351 (98%) 220 (61%) 62 21 (48%) 19 (43%) 44 (100%) 35 (80%) 69 516 (78%) 544 (82%) 503 (76%) 423 (64%) 69 726 (64%) 754 (67%) 951 (84%) 714 (63%)
      MST (mo) 1-yr OS rate 17.5 59% NR 85% NR 79% 15.1 59% 19.8 67%
      B. The Subsets of HER2 aberrations**
      IHC3+ (n = 34) IHC2+/FISH+ (n = 34) Mutant (n = 21)
      Age, median Sex (male) Smoking habit Non-Sq Stage III/IV 71 27 (79%) 24 (71%) 30 (88%) 17 (50%) 71 27 (79%) 26 (76%) 28 (82%) 21 (62%) 65 8 (38%) 9 (43%) 21 (100%) 14 (67%)
      MST (mo) 1-yr OS rate 10.5 46% 16.0 70% NR 59%
      *including 22 pts with HER2-positive tumors with EGFR mutations, 2 with both HER2- and ALK-positive tumors, and 2 had ALK-positive tumors with EGFR-mutations. ** 1 had an IHC2+/FISH+ tumor with mutation.

      Conclusion:
      This is the first prospective study showing a small fraction of NSCLC possessed HER2 aberrations. HER2-positive tumors had relatively poor prognosis. NSCLCs with HER2 IHC3+ and mutation seem to be distinct subsets.

      P2.01-034 - Phase I/II Trial of Weekly Nab-Paclitaxel as 2nd or 3rd Line Treatment in NSCLC Without Driver Mutations. (OLCSG1303) (ID 9275)

      09:00 - 16:00  |  Author(s): T. Kozuki

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Although nab-paclitaxel (PTX) plus carboplatin is one of the standard treatment for chemo-naive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the efficacy, safety and optimal schedule of nab-PTX monotherapy as 2nd or 3rd line for NSCLC patients without any driver mutations remains unknown.

      Method:
      This was a single arm phase I/II study. Eligible patients are advanced NSCLC without EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement that progressed after platinum-doublet chemotherapy. The patients were received 100mg/m[2] of nab-PTX on day 1, 8, 15 and 22 (level 0) or on day 1, 8, and 15 (level -1) every 4-week in the phase I portion. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) was assessed and the recommended schedule was determined. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), assuming that estimated ORR was 15% and threshold ORR was 5% with α error of 0.05 and β error of 0.2 in the phase II part. Total of 55 patients were planned to be enrolled.

      Result:
      The recommended schedule of nab-PTX was determined as the level -1, because the DLTs were found in 4 of 5 patients. The characteristics of the 55 patients enrolled in the phase II were as followings; median age, 66 years (range, 41–90 years), male/female=40/15, PS 0/1/2=12/39/4, 2nd/3rd line=34/21, adeno/squamous/large/others=34/17/2/2. The median number of treatment cycles was three (range, 1–10). The ORR was 7.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.0–17.6%; 4 PR, 26 SD, 24 PD, 1 NE). At the median follow-up time of 5.3 months (range, 1.9–26.0 months) for all patients, the median PFS was 3.4 months (95% CI, 1.9–4.0 months). Treatment related grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (36%), febrile neutropenia (5.5%) and pulmonary infection (3.6%). Three patients (5.5%) had grade 2 pneumonitis and one patient was died due to ARDS.

      Conclusion:
      This study failed to meet predefined primary endpoint although PFS was comparable and toxicity was acceptable for patients with advanced NSCLC without EGFR or ALK mutation as 2nd or 3rd line treatment. (UMIN registration number: 000012404).

      P2.05-009 - Outcome of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Clinical Stage I Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and CT Findings: Comparison with Surgical Resection (ID 9964)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): T. Kozuki

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      The standard care for Stage I non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is surgical resection, but stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can be an alternative treatment option, especially for patients with comorbidities. However, it is difficult to compare the outcomes of SBRT with surgical resection because their characteristics are so different, and the risk factors for recurrence after SBRT are not fully understood. In this study, we report pretreatment clinical characteristics and CT findings in patients treated with SBRT, and reviewed patients underwent surgery with similar tumors.

      Method:
      Between January 2012 and December 2015, patients treated with SBRT for cT1-2N0M0 NSCLC and 218 patients who underwent surgery for cT1b-2N0M0 NSCLC in our institution were analyzed.

      Result:
      During the study period, 88 patients were treated with SBRT. The 3-year disease free survival (3-year DFS) for all patients was 81.2%. There were 15 cases of recurrences (9 cases of lymph node recurrences, 8 cases of distant metastases and 2 cases of local recurrence. 4 cases were both lymph node and distant metastases). There was no recurrence among the patients with no more than 1cm of consolidation (cT1a or less according to the 8th edition of the Union for International Cancer Control TNM classification) and all recurrent cases were with solid pattern predominant tumors (maximum consolidation diameters were more than 50% of tumor diameters) based on CT findings. Then we evaluated outcomes and clinical characteristics of patients who were treated with SBRT or underwent surgery for cStage I, cT1b or more and solid predominant NSCLC during the same period. 61 patients were treated with SBRT and 218 underwent surgery (190 cases of lobectomy, 21 secmentectomy and 7 wedge resection). Among clinical characteristics, smaller tumor sizes tend to be treated with SBRT (average sizes were 2.25 and 2.57 cm respectively, p=0.055). The mean age was significantly higher in SBRT group (78.5 vs 68.0, p<0.001). Surgical resection was associated with improved DFS (3-year DFS 84.4% vs 73.4%, p=0.004) and lymph node metastasis was found in 34 cases (15.6%) pathologically in patients underwent surgery, suggesting they are incurable with SBRT.

      Conclusion:
      The main limitations of this study are the small number of cases and different patient characteristics. Taken together, our data suggesting SBRT is acceptable for patients with cT1a or less, cStage I NSCLC, and surgical resection is recommended for patients with more advanced NSCLC.
