MA04.09 - Neoadjuvant Atezolizumab in Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Updated Results from a Multicenter Study (LCMC3) (ID 12941)
14:30 - 14:35 | Author(s): Jamie E Chaft
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy, before or after surgery, provides only a 5% benefit in 5yr. OS in resectable NSCLC. A 20 patient study (NEJM April 2018) showed that preoperative immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy yielded a clinically meaningful major pathologic response rate (MPR ≤10% residual viable tumor cells) and did not delay or complicate surgery. This large multicenter trial measures MPR and biomarkers of benefit using neoadjuvant atezolizumab (atezo) [NCT02927301].
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We planned 2 cycles of atezo (1200mg, days 1, 22) in patients with stages IB -selected IIIB resectable NSCLC prior to surgical resection (day 40 +/- 10). Chest CT, PET were planned pre-atezo and presurgery to assess response. Primary tumor +/- node biopsies and blood samples were obtained before atezo and presurgery for biomarker studies. The primary endpoint was MPR. Secondary endpoints included safety, response by PD-L1, OS, and DFS.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
For this updated efficacy and safety analysis (Feb’18 datacut), we report first 54 of 180 planned pts: 29 males, median age 65 yr, all ECOG 0-1; 17 current, 33 former smokers; 35 non-squamous NSCLC; clinical stages Ib/IIa/IIb/IIIa/IIIb = 5/11/13/20/5. Two pts received one dose of atezo due to treatment related AE (Gr 1 pyrexia, Gr 2 dyspnea) but underwent uncomplicated resection with MPR assessment. There was 1 unrelated Gr 5 AE (sudden cardiac death post surgical resection), 16 Gr 3-4 AEs (3 treatment related). Surgery was delayed in 1 pt due to Gr3 pneumonitis. By RECIST, 3 pts had PR, and 49 had SD. 50 pts underwent surgery and 47 pts had MPR assessment: 2 pts discontinued study preop due to radiographic PD and 2 discontinued due to other reasons; 3 pts had unresectable disease. MPR rate was 10/50 (20%, 95% CI 10-34%) including 3 pts who had pCR (no viable tumor cells) in the primary tumor. Excluding 5 pts who had known driver mutations (4 EGFR+, 1 ALK+), MPR rate was 10/45 (22%, 95% CI 11-37%). PD-L1 status was evaluable in 44/54 pts; 8/10 pts with MPR had PD-L1+ status and 2 had unknown PD-L1 status; 8/28 PDL-1 (+) patients had MPR (29%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
In a multicenter study, neoadjuvant atezo was well tolerated. MPR rate is encouraging. Clinical and pathological responses are often discordant. Correlative analyses on pre- and post atezo tissues are ongoing. Preliminary correlative analyses in blood samples are included in a separate abstract.

MA04.11 - Neoantigen Targeting and T Cell Reshaping in Resectable NSCLC Patients Treated with Neoadjuvant PD-1 Blockade (ID 12605)
14:40 - 14:45 | Author(s): Jamie E Chaft
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
PD-1 blockade is now standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has recently shown impressive efficacy in promoting major pathologic response (MPR) and delaying relapse in the neoadjuvant setting. The role of tumor mutational burden, and specifically T cells targeting neoantigens derived from these mutations, in facilitating tumor clearance has been demonstrated in advanced NSCLC. However, it is unknown how neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade impacts the frequency and function of tumor specific T cells and their ability to promote major pathologic response, or how these factors may synergize to prevent or delay relapse after surgical resection.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Whole exome sequencing and neoantigen prediction was performed on pre-treatment tumor biopsies and matched normal tissue from 11 patients with resectable NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant nivolumab as part of a clinical trial (NCT02259621). T cell recognition of peptides representing candidate neoantigens was evaluated using the MANAFEST assay, which identifies T cell receptor clonotypes corresponding to antigen specificities. T cell receptor sequencing was additionally performed on serial peripheral blood T cells, pre-treatment tumor biopsies, and resected post-treatment tissues. A bioinformatic platform was developed to evaluate the dynamics of intratumoral T cell clonotypes, and more specifically neoantigen-specific clonotypes detected before, during, and after treatment and during long-term follow-up.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
High-magnitude, polyclonal neoantigen-specific T cell responses were detected in the peripheral blood and persisted for many months after surgical resection and cessation of treatment. Binding to and stability with cognate HLA I molecules was validated for reactive neoantigens. Significant treatment-induced systemic perturbations in the tumor-specific T cell repertoire and an influx of peripheral T cell clonotypes into tumor tissue and lymph nodes was observed in patients regardless of pathologic response, whereas peripheral clonotypic reshaping of the anti-tumor repertoire and intratumoral T cell clonality were associated with MPR status.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
We show significant and systemic alterations in the peripheral anti-tumor T cell repertoire in NSCLC patients treated with neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 regardless of MPR status. Notwithstanding, the impaired restructuring of the anti-tumor T cell repertoire in patients without MPR highlights a potential immunological deficiency to overcome in future therapeutic approaches aiming to increase the MPR rate in NSCLC patients treated with neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade.

P1.16-47 - Adjuvant Targeted Therapy Following Standard Adjuvant Therapy for Resected NSCLC: An Initial Report from ALCHEMIST (Alliance A151216) (ID 12828)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Jamie E Chaft
- Abstract
Background
The Adjuvant Lung Cancer Enrichment Marker Identification and Sequencing Trial (ALCHEMIST) was launched in 2014 across the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This trial platform aims to enroll up to 8300 patients with resected high-risk non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to facilitate enrollment to adjuvant targeted therapy trials following completion of standard adjuvant therapy, and to collect biospecimens for clinical and investigational genomics. On 5/1/2016, the study was expanded to include squamous NSCLC and PDL1 testing to facilitate enrollment to a new immunotherapy study.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Eligible patients have completely resected NSCLC, stage IB (>4cm) to IIIA by AJCC 7. Eligibility window extends 75-285 days post-op depending upon receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation. Molecular testing of EGFR, ALK, PDL1 is performed centrally (depending on the histology and testing results) and results are returned to sites within 7-21 days. FFPE tissue and blood are collected by the NCI for genomic analysis. Appropriate patients may then enroll to one of three therapeutic trials studying single agent adjuvant targeted therapy (erlotinib NCT02193282, crizotinib NCT02201992, or nivolumab NCT02595944) versus observation.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
As of March 19, 2018, 2945 patients have been enrolled from 575 sites within the US, with a median enrollment of 98/month (range: 71-133) in 2017. Central molecular testing was completed in 83%-92% of appropriate patients: EGFR L858R/19del was detected in 395 of 2468 patients (16.0%), ALK FISH was positive in 106 of 2458 patients (4.3%), and PDL1 IHC was >1% in 902 of 1464 patients (61.6%). Adequate tissue and blood for whole exome sequencing (WES) was collected on 1928 patients (65.5%), and enrollment plasma (added January 2017) has been collected on 885 patients (30.1%). Of 1960 patients deemed to be eligible for the adjuvant treatment trials with sufficient follow-up, 560 (28.6%) were enrolled; those enrolled were younger (p=0.01) and had higher N stage (<0.01) than those not enrolled. The primary reason for eligible patients not enrolling to treatment trials was lack of interest in further adjuvant therapy (53%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
ALCHEMIST has achieved an enrollment of ~100 patients/month with resected high-risk NSCLC. This initial report demonstrates the feasibility of central molecular testing for enrollment to adjuvant targeted therapies. Efforts are ongoing to plan clinically-informed genomic analyses of tumor and plasma, as well as the planning of new treatment arms that leverage this ongoing trial platform.

P1.17-08 - Genetic Predictors of Response to Chemoradiation in Stage III Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (ID 12804)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Jamie E Chaft
- Abstract
Background
Radiation with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy is the standard of care for patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite aggressive treatment, progression-free survival and overall survival remain poor. It is unclear whether any tumor genetic alterations are associated with response to therapy.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We retrospectively reviewed clinical outcomes of patients with stage III NSCLC treated with definitive radiation, who had undergone tumor molecular profiling through an institutional next-generation sequencing platform. This platform is an FDA-approved, targeted-DNA-sequencing panel that contains 341 (now expanded to 468) somatic mutations and other genetic alterations. Basic patient and tumor characteristics, clinical outcomes including loco-regional recurrence, distant recurrence, and overall survival, were collected. Overall and recurrence-free survivals were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate association between clinical outcome and genetic alterations.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
We identified 110 patients with stage III NSCLC who were treated with definitive radiation between 2013 and 2017 and underwent tumor molecular profiling. Fifty-one patients (46%) had stage IIIA disease and 59 patients (54%) had stage IIIB disease. Median radiation dose delivered was 60Gy in 30 fractions (range 48.6Gy to 74Gy). Either concurrent or sequential chemotherapy was given in 104 patients (95%) with 83 patients (75%) receiving concurrently. One patient received induction crizotinib and one patient died before start of chemotherapy. With a median follow-up time of 15.3 months, the median overall survival was 31.2 months. Several genetic mutations were significantly associated with worse overall survival after therapy, including AKT2 any mutation (Hazard ratio 13.71, p<0.001), KMT2C truncating mutations (HR 13.42, p<0.001), KMT2D truncating mutations (HR 6.97, p<0.001), ARID1A frameshift mutations (HR 8.54, p<0.001), and FLT1 any mutation (HR 6.62, p<0.001). These genes were also associated with increased loco-regional recurrence. Mutation in the PIK3C2G gene was significantly associated with improved overall survival. Association of other common genetic alterations such as EGFR mutation with response to therapy was not observed.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
This study coupled multiplex targeted sequencing with clinical outcome information to identify several potential genetic predictors of response to chemotherapy and radiation in locally advanced NSCLC. KMT2C and KMT2D encode two subunits of a histone methyltransferase, and mutations of KMD2 have been shown to correlate with worse survival in locally advanced and advanced NSCLC patients. Further studies including in vitro validations are necessary to confirm the findings.
