      Background

      20% of patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma have activating EGFR-mutations. EGFR-mutant lung cancers can undergo histologic transformation to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as a response to the selective pressure of EGFR-TKIs in <5% of patients after earlier-generation EGFR-TKIs and have been reported after osimertinib. SCLC nearly universally harbor TP53/RB1-alterations which are rarely seen in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinomas. We sought to identify this subset of patients, describe their clinical course and likelihood of SCLC transformation.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Retrospective review of targeted next generation sequencing (NGS, MSK-IMACT) at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) was performed to identify patients with concurrent EGFR-activating mutations and TP53/RB1-mutations within the same tumor sample from NGS between April 2014 to February 2018 with a data cutoff of March 2018. For comparison, consecutive patients with lung cancers harboring EGFR-mutations who were EGFR-TKI naïve and TP53/RB1-wildtype were also collected during that time-period.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Of the 21% of lung cancer patients with activating EGFR-mutations (759/3662), 5% (40/759) had concurrent TP53/RB1-mutations. 43% (17/40) were female, 58% former-smokers (23/40, median pack-years: 8), and median age of 68 (range 25-86 years). 88% (35/40) were adenocarcinoma at diagnosis, of which 11% (4/35) transformed to SCLC during treatment; 10% (4/40) were de-novo SCLC at diagnosis, and 1 was large cell neuroendocrine. The transformation rate was significantly higher compared to previous work from MSK evaluating EGFR-mutant patients showing 4% (4/155) transformation (p=0.04). Concurrent PIK3CA mutations were more frequently seen in the EGFR/TP53/RB1 mutant group compared to the TP53/RB1-wildtype group (17% (n=6/35) vs 7% (n=4/60), p=0.11). 20 patients were EGFR TKI-naïve at the time of NGS; the median time on EGFR-TKI (ToT) was 7.6 months versus 14.2 months in the TP53/RB1-wildtype group (HR 4.48, p=0.0003). The overall survival (OS) of this cohort versus TP53/RB1-wildtype was not different (4.3 vs 4.1 years, HR 1.35, p=0.51). In the 4 patients with SCLC transformation, the median time to transformation was 2.4 years after a median of 1.5 EGFR-TKI therapies (range 1-5 lines). Median OS from time of transformation was 7 months. 63% (25/40) of the EGFR/TP53/RB1-mutant cohort had brain metastases during their disease course as compared to 50% (n=30) in the TP53/RB1-wildtype group (p=0.30).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      SCLC transformation is enriched in EGFR/TP53/RB1-mutant lung cancers, occurring in 11% of patients. Once SCLC transformation occurs, overall survival is short. Patients with EGFR/TP53/RB1 have a shorter time on EGFR-TKI. Further investigation into optimal treatment for this subset of EGFR/TP53/RB1 mutant lung cancers is critical.

      P1.01-74 - MET Exon 14-Altered Lung Cancers: Central Nervous System (CNS) Metastases and Patterns of CNS Progression on MET Inhibition. (ID 14263)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Marc Ladanyi

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      MET exon 14 (METex14) alterations are targetable drivers found in 3-4% of lung cancers. The frequency of intracranial disease and patterns of central nervous system (CNS) progression on MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are not well characterized.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with advanced METex14-altered lung cancers identified by next-generation sequencing (MSK-IMPACT) between January 2014 and March 2018 were eligible for analysis. A retrospective review of clinical features, patterns of metastases, and CNS progression on MET-TKI was performed. The frequency of intracranial disease was compared to cohorts single-center of EGFR-mutant (n=200), ERBB2-mutant (n=98) and KRAS-mutant (n=200) lung cancers.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      82 patients with metastatic METex14-altered lung cancers were identified. The median age was 73; 56% (n=46) were female and 54% (n=44) were former smokers. The frequency of brain metastases at baseline was 11% (n=9/82). The lifetime frequency of intracranial metastases from diagnosis of metastatic disease was 34% (n=28/82). By comparison, the frequency of brain metastases was 47% (94/200, p=0.05) with EGFR-, 47% (46/98), p=0.09) with ERBB2-, and 32% (64/200, p=0.78) with KRAS-driven tumors. 6% (n=5/82) of patients developed leptomeningeal disease. The overall survival (OS) of patients who developed intracranial disease on therapy compared to those who did not develop intracranial disease was not significantly different (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.30-1.43, p=0.29). 51 patients received crizotinib, 26 of whom developed progressive disease. The frequency of intracranial (alone), intracranial and extracranial, and extracranial (alone) progression was 8% (2/26), 19% (5/26), and 73% (19/26), respectively.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      A third of patients with METex14-altered lung cancers develop intracranial disease. This proportion is lower than that seen in EGFR- and ERBB2-mutant lung cancers and comparable to KRAS-mutant lung cancers. The frequency of CNS failure on crizotinib was lower than expected compared to historical rates in ALK-rearranged lung cancers.

      P2.06-40 - VISTA is Highly Expressed in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) and Independent of PD-L1 Expression (ID 13232)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Marc Ladanyi

      • Abstract

      Background

      PD-1 blockade is effective in only a minority of MPM patients and predictors of response in MPM are unclear. Recent TCGA analysis of MPM revealed VISTA (V-domain Ig-containing suppressor of T cell activation), another inhibitory T cell checkpoint protein, to be frequently expressed in MPMs. In search of other immunotherapeutic targets in MPM, we evaluated the expression of VISTA, its relationship with expression of PD-L1, and the association with response to PD-1 blockade in MPM.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively interrogated the MPM database at Memorial Sloan Kettering to identify patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Archival tissue, where available, was obtained and we performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) using antibodies to PD-L1 (clone E1L3N) and VISTA (clone D1L2G), both from Cell Signaling Technology. Imaging studies were reviewed with a thoracic radiologist according to the modified RECIST criteria.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      37 patients were identified as having received at least one dose of ICI, of whom 26 patients had tissue for VISTA/PD-L1 testing. VISTA was positive (>1%) in 25 (96%) and >50% in 22 (84%). PD-L1 was positive in 11 (42%) and >50% in two (8%). No evident correlation between VISTA and PD-L1 expression was seen. Correlation with response will be reported.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      In contrast to PD-L1, VISTA is highly expressed in most patients with MPM. Its expression appears independent of PD-L1 expression. Molecules targeting VISTA and its ligand should be prioritized for clinical development in MPM.
