      Background

      The combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy (CT-IO) has a high response rate and longer survival in unselected patients (pts) with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There are no data about this combination in the neoadjuvant setting.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      A Phase II, single-arm, open-label multicenter study of local-advanced resectable stage IIIA N2-NSCLC adult patients with CT plus IO (nivolumab (NV)) followed by adjuvant treatment for 1 year. Neoadjuvant treatment: Three cycles of NV 360mg IV Q3W + paclitaxel 200mg/m2 + carboplatin AUC 6 IV Q3W. After completing neoadjuvant therapy, tumor assessment is performed in patients prior to surgery. Surgery is performed in the 3rd or 4th week after day 21 of the third cycle of neoadjuvant treatment. Adjuvant treatment: NV 240mg IV Q2W for 4 months and NV 480mg IV Q4W for 8 months (total one year) after surgical resection. The study aims to recruit 46 pts. The primary endpoint is Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 24 months. Efficacy is explored using objective pathologic response criteria. We present preliminary data on patients that completed 3 cycles and underwent surgical resection.

      At the time of submission, 46 pts had been included and 20 underwent surgery. CT-IO was well-tolerated and surgery was not delayed in any patient. None of the pts was withdrawn from the study preoperatively due to progression or toxicity.

      Twenty surgeries had been performed and all tumors were deemed resectable. The overall clinical response rate was 5% complete (CR) and 65% PR. The pathological response evaluated after surgery: 13 cases (65.0%) achieved CR (CPR) (95% CI 40.8-84.6%), and 3 (15.0%) had a major pathologic response (MPR), defined as <10% viable tumor cells in the resection specimen. Considering both CPR and MPR, the overall response rate was 80.0% (95% CI 56.3-94.3%) and 60% of complete responses were unsuspected

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      This is the first multicentric study testing CT-IO in the neoadjuvant setting with promising antitumor activity in locally advanced, potentially resectable NSCLC yields an unprecedented complete pathologic response rate. The data will be updated at the time of the congress. EudraCT Number: 2016-003732-20

      P1.09-09 - Evaluation of a Novel ROS1 Immunohistochemistry Clone (SP384) for the Identification of ROS1 Rearrangements in NSCLC Patients (ID 12744)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Delvys Rodríguez-Abreu

      • Abstract

      Background

      After the approval of crizotinib in ROS1 rearranged NSCLCs, the importance of accurately identifying those patients has never been greater. Although the recently updated guideline for molecular testing supports the use of ROS1 IHC as a screening test, to the best of our knowledge, only one ROS1 clone is commercially available and most published comparison studies involve a relatively small numer of positive cases. This situation prompted us to investigate a novel ROS1 IHC antibody in a large series of ROS1 positive NSCLCs samples.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Thirty-nine ROS1 FISH-positive (i.e., gold standard) samples from patients with NSCLCs procured at 22 hospitals were used for this study. In addition, 20 consecutive ROS1 FISH-negative samples from NSCLCs diagnosed at the referral institution were included as negative controls. The material available for all tumors had been formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded. The specifics of formalin fixation were unknown. All specimens were independently screened for ROS1 expression by two IHC antibodies (clone D4D6 from Cell Signaling Technology and clone SP384 provided by Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.) according to previously published methodology or the manufacturer´s instructions. FISH-validated ROS1-positive external controls were included in all the slides. The slides were reviewed by two pathologists blinded to FISH results. The results of both ROS1 IHC assays were evaluated using a modified H-score: strong cytoplasmic staining (3+), clearly visible using a ×2 or ×4 objective; moderate staining (2+), requiring a ×10 or ×20 objective to be clearly seen; and weak staining (1+), cannot be seen until a ×40 objective is used. Both anti-ROS1 IHC staining results were finally interpreted using a binary scoring system: positive (3+ or 2+) or negative (1+ or 0).

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      In ROS1 FISH-negative cases, positive immunoreactivity (3+ or 2+) was observed in 25% and 5% of samples by SP384 and D4D6, respectively. In ROS1 FISH-positive cases, positive expression above the threshold was always present with both antibodies except for one sample that was only stained with SP384. In 4 positive cases (10.3%) by SP384 and 22 positive tumors (56.4%) by D4D6, we noted significant intratumoral heterogeneity, ranging from weak to strong protein expression.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      We have studied a very large series of ROS1 FISH-positive NSCLCs with a novel IHC clone, which showed excellent sensitivity. The predominantly homogeneous and intense staining may support the use of a dichotomous scoring approach, before confirmation with FISH or a molecular method.

      P1.13-01 - Anti-EGF Antibodies Increase the Effect of ALK and MEK Inhibitors in ALK and KRAS NSCLC and CRC Cell Lines (ID 13160)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Delvys Rodríguez-Abreu

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      Immunization against Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) has demonstrated efficacy in a phase III trial including unselected NSCLC patients, and we have recently shown that antibodies generated by vaccination (anti-EGF VacAbs) potentiate the effects of TKIs in EGFR-mut cells growing in vitro. In this study, we aimed to determine if anti-EGF VacAbs show antitumor activity in KRAS-mutant (mut) and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) translocated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, alone or in combination.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Anti-EGF VacAbs were generated in rabbits. Cell lines were treated with anti-EGF VacAbs alone and in combination with ALK TKIs, trametinib and standard chemotherapeutic agents in ALK translocated (H3122, E13;A20 (v1) and H2228, E6;A20 (v3)) and lung (A549 and H23) and colon (DLD1 and LS174T) KRAS-mut cell lines. Cell viability was analyzed by MTT, changes of total and phosphorylated proteins by Western blot and emergence of resistance by direct microscopic examination in low density cultures.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Anti-EGF VacAbs suppressed EGF-induced cell proliferation and inhibited EGFR phosphorylation signaling in all cell lines tested. In combination, the anti-EGF VacAbs significantly enhanced the antitumor activity of alectinib and crizotinib in H2228 cells and trametinib in A549, H23 and DLD1 cells. In these cell lines, the antibodies decreased Erk ½ and Akt phosphorylation. Finally, the addition of the anti-EGF VacAbs to the culture medium significantly delayed the emergence of resistant clones to alectinib and crizotinib in H2228 cells. In previous experiments, H2228 cells had shown a stronger dependency on the EGF/EGFR pathway than H3122. Results for the combination with standard chemotherapy in KRAS-mut cell lines will be presented at the meeting.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Anti-EGF VacAbs decreased cell proliferation and inhibited EGFR activation in lung and colon ALK translocated and KRAS-mut cell lines. In addition, they potentiated the effects of trametinib in KRAS-mut cells and TKIs in ALK translocated cells (v3), where they also prevented the emergence of resistance to alectinib and crizotinib. Two clinical trials are currently testing anti-EGF vaccination in advanced NSCLC; the Epical Phase I/II trial, in combination with EGFR TKIs in EGFR-mut patients; and the BV-NSCLC-002 Phase III trial, in combination with chemotherapy in EGFR-wt.

      P2.15-25 - NIVEX TRIAL (GECP 1605): Nivolumab in the Real World: Spanish Expanded Access Program Experience in Pretreated Advanced NSCLC Patients (ID 13030)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Presenting Author(s): Delvys Rodríguez-Abreu

      • Abstract

      Background

      Nivolumab is a standard treatment for pretreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Real world data about toxicity and efficacy of nivolumab is needed.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We have analyzed patients from the Expanded Access Program in Spain that included patients with advanced pretreated NSCLC. We have retrospectively analyzed 665 patients that had received at least 1 dose of nivolumab 3mg/kg q2w from 01/2015 for squamous Sq﴿ and 06/2015 for non‐Sq NSCLC, to 11/2017.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Median age was 61 (32-85) years, 73% were men, 85% had ECOG 0-1, 88% were current or former smokers and 15% presented brain metastases. 128 (19,2%) patients presented Sq NSCLC and 537 (80,8%) patients Non‐Sq NSCLC. 7% of patients presented EGFR mutation. PD-L1 was ≥ 1% in 32,9% of analyzed patients.

      Best response was complete response 1,7%, partial response 22,4%, stable disease 24,1%, and progressive disease 37,1%, and was not assessed in 14,7% of patients. No differences in response rate were observed according to histology.

      After a median follow‐up of 8,2 months, the median OS was 8,97 (95%CI 7,69-10,24) months, and the median PFS was 3,23 (95%CI 2,77-3,70) months. Estimated 1-year OS was 42,4% (95%CI 38,5-42,8%) and estimated 1-year PFS was 22,2% (95%CI 19,1-25,3%). No differences in OS or PFS according to histologies were observed.

      296 (44,5%) patients presented toxicity related to Nivolumab, that was grade ≥3 in 69 (10,4%) patients. Grade ≥3 diarrhea was reported in 1,2% of patients and pneumonitis occurred in 1,2% of patients (1 patient presented a grade 5 pneumonitis). According to the presence of grade ≥3 toxicity, the median OS was 14,57 (CI95% 8,45-20,68) months for patients with grade ≥3 toxicity and 8,73 (CI95% 7,50-9,96) months for patients without grade ≥3 toxicity (p= 0,074).

      Additional efficacy data including treatment lines, presence of immune-related adverse events, PS2, brain metastasis, response to first line, or post-nivolumab treatment will be presented.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Efficacy and safety of nivolumab was in line with previously shown data. There was a trend to a better OS for those patients experiencing grade ≥3 toxicity.
