Background
Prospective data on immunotherapy for NSCLC with oncogenic driver mutations are limited. We recently reported first results from the global IMMUNOTARGET registry (Mazières, ASCO 2018). Here, we present new data for PD-L1 and mutation subgroups.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
In 2017, we started an international retrospective registry study ("IMMUNOTARGET") for patients with advanced NSCLC, known driver mutations (KRAS, EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, HER2, MET and RET) and PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. The registry is approved by University of Toulouse and Swissethics, and funded by University of Toulouse and Cantonal Hospital of Lucerne. Anonymized real-world data submitted to the coordinating center include: patient and tumor characteristics, mutation test methods and results, systemic therapy lines, immune related adverse events, best response by RECIST, survival, and tumor PD-L1 expression (optional). Statistical calculations including best response, median PFS and OS are done at University of Toulouse.

In April 2018, the registry included 551 pts from Europe, USA, Israel and Australia. Patients were 50% male/female, 28% current smokers, median age 60 years (range 28-83), 85% had PS0/1. Most (73%) tumors were stage IV at diagnosis, almost all (96%) were adenocarcinomas. Molecular classification by dominant driver mutation: KRAS=271 (49%), EGFR=125 (23%), BRAF=43 (8%), MET=36 (7%), HER2=29 (5%), ALK=23 (4%), RET=16 (3%), ROS1=7 (1%), 1 (0.2%) not classified (ALK+RET+MET). Most pts received nivolumab (466) or pembrolizumab (48) and were treated with immunotherapy in second or third line (67%). The median number of cycles was 5 (range 1-68). Fifty (11%) pts had grade 3-5 toxicity. Median OS from start of immunotherapy was 13.3 months, median PFS was 2.8 months. Best response was PR/CR in: KRAS=26%, BRAF=24%, ROS1=17%, MET=16%, EGFR=12%, HER2=7%, RET=6%, ALK=0%. Percentage of PD-L1 positive cells was available for 177 pts: 0%=71 (40%), 1-49%=46 (26%), 50-100%=60 (34%). Median % of positive cells was highest for ROS1 (90%), BRAF (50%), MET (30%) and RET (26%) mutant tumors. PD-L1 positivity was predictive for improved PFS in KRAS and EGFR mutant tumors. PD-L1 status was known in 18 tumors with ALK, ROS1 or RET rearrangements: 5 had 0%, 4 had 1-49% and 9 had 50%-100%. No tumor remissions were observed in this subgroup. The registry remains open, updated results will be presented at the conference.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Although response rates were lower than in KRAS mutant NSCLC, individual tumors with other driver mutations responded to immunotherapy. PD-L1 expression may not accurately predict clinical benefit from immunotherapy in some molecular subgroups, better markers are needed.

P1.01-66 - Randomized Phase II Evaluating EGFR-TKI Associated with Anti-Estrogen in Women with Non-Squamous Advanced Stage NSCLC: IFCT-1003 LADIE Trial. (ID 13740)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Gerard Zalcman
- Abstract
Background
The incidence of lung cancer is increasing dramatically in women with recent findings as the preferential involvement of the EGFR pathway and the potential impact of hormonal factors in women. Preclinical data have shown that the combination of an EGFR-TKI with an anti-estrogen could overcome resistance to EGFR-TKI.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
IFCT-1003 LADIE Trial was a 2x2 arms parallel open-label randomized phase II trial. PS 0-2 post-menopausal women with advanced stage lung adenocarcinoma were treated with gefitinib (G 250 mg/day) vs. G + fulvestrant 500 mg / month with a supplementary dose at day 15 (G+F) in the EGFR mutated group (EGFR+) in 1st or 2nd line setting or with erlotinib (E 150 mg/day) vs. E + fulvestrant (E+F) in the EGFR wild-type group (EGFR WT) in 2nd or 3rd line setting until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary objective was progression-free survival (PFS) at 3 and 9 months for EGFR WT and EGFR+ patients, respectively.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
From 02/2012 to 03/2017, 204 pts (G 104, G+F 100) and 175 (E 87, E+F 88) were enrolled in the EGFR+ and EGFR WT cohorts respectively. The median number of fulvestrant injections was 10 in the G+F group and 3 in the E+F group. The tolerance was correct (grade 3/4: 24.2% in the G+F group vs 21.3% in the G group, 16.0% in the E+F group vs 13.8% in the E group) and no treatment-related death. In the EGFR+ cohort, the primary endpoint was reached as 54 pts in the G+F group were non-progressive at 9 months. Nevertheless, addition of F to G was not associated with significant better PFS (9.9 vs 10.1 months) or OS (22.1 vs 29.9 months). In the EGFR WT cohort, the primary endpoint was not reached as 29 patients were non-progressive at 3 months. Here also, addition of F to E was not associated with better outcome (PFS 1.8 vs 2.0 and OS 10.0 vs 7.3 months). No PFS difference was observed in the subgroup of patients with positive staining for REα.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Addition of fulvestrant to EGFR-TKI is feasible and is associated with good PFS in the EGFR mutated group. Nevertheless, the lack of benefit associated with the combination of fulvestrant to EGFR-TKI does not support its future development in a phase 3 trial in women with NSCLC.

P1.01-68 - Correlation of the Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) and PDL1 Status with Outcomes for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Advanced NSCLC Patients (ID 14256)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Gerard Zalcman
- Abstract
Background
Baseline LIPI, based on derived NLR (neutrophils/[leucocytes-neutrophils]) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was associated with outcomes for immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced NSCLC patients. We assessed the correlation between LIPI and PDL1 for ICI outcomes in NSCLC.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Baseline dNLR and LDH and clinical data were retrospectively collected in advanced NSCLC patients, treated with PD1/PDL1 +/- CTLA4 inhibitors from Nov. 2012 to Mar. 2018, in a multicentric cohort (N=794) from 11 centers. LIPI stratified 3 groups: good (dNLR<3+LDH<upper limit of normal (ULN), intermediate (dNLR>3 or LDH>ULN), poor risk (dNLR>3+LDH>ULN). PDL1 positivity was defined as ≥ 1% tumor cells expression by immunohistochemistry.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
476 patients (60%) were male, 693 (87%) smokers, 695 (88%) had PS ≤1, with median age 65; 576 (73%) had nonsquamous histology. PDL1 was ≥ 1% in 195 (70%) patients, negative in 82 (30%), and unknown in 517. The median of prior lines was 1 (0-11). The median PFS and OS were 4 months (m) [95% CI 4-5] and 12 m [10-15]. dNLR was>3 in 276 (35%) and LDH>ULN in 290 (37%) patients. LIPI stratified 349 patients as good (44%), 323 (41%) as intermediate and 121 (15%) as poor LIPI risk groups. LIPI was an independent factor for OS (table) and PFS (HR 2.58; CI 1.3-5.2, P=0.02). ≥ 1% PDL1 and ≥ 50% PDL1 were not correlated with OS and PFS. Median OS for good, intermediate, and poor LIPI risk groups were 21 m [17-23], 11 m [9-14] and 4 m [2-6], respectively (P=<0.0001). Median PFS for good, intermediate, and poor risk was 5 m [5-7], 4 m [3-5], and 2 m [1-3], respectively (P=0.0005). No differences were observed in LIPI groups according to the PDL1 expression.

P3.12-11 - Association of the Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) with Outcomes for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Diffuse SCLC Patients (ID 14200)
12:00 - 13:30 | Author(s): Gerard Zalcman
- Abstract
Background
Pretreatment LIPI (Lung Immune Prognostic Index), based on derived NLR (neutrophils/[leucocytes-neutrophils] ratio) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been associated with outcomes for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in advanced NSCLC patients. We tested whether LIPI has the same role in diffuse small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Baseline dNLR and LDH and clinical data were retrospectively collected in SCLC patients, treated with ICI (PD1 inhibitor, PDL1 inhibitors +/- CTLA4 inhibitor) from April 2014 to Jan. 2018 (N=66) from 6 European centers. LIPI was calculated combining dNLR and LDH, stratifying 3 risk groups: good (dNLR<3+LDH<upper limit of normal (ULN), intermediate (dNLR>3 or LDH>ULN), poor (dNLR>3+LDH>ULN). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), and secondary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Fifty-three patients (80%) were males, 58 (88%) smokers and all patients had PS ≤1, with median age 63 years (41-82). PDL1 was ≥ 1% by immunohistochemistry in 6 patients, and unknown in 60 patients. The median of prior lines was 1 (0-6). Platinum-based therapy was the prior line in 63 (95%) patients, with ORR of 88%. The median PFS and OS with ICI were 2.7 months (m) [95% CI 1.87-4.43] and 10.3 m [95% CI 5.8-12.6]. dNLR was greater than 3 in 16 (25%) and LDH> Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) in 33 (50%) patients. Based on both, LIPI stratified the population in 3 groups: 26 patients as good (40%), 29 (45%) as intermediate and 10 (15%) as poor LIPI risk groups. LIPI was an independent factor for OS (HR 2.77, 95% CI 1.07-7.14, P=0.03) and PFS (HR 3.13, 1.37-7.16, P=0.01). Median OS for good, intermediate, and poor risk groups were 11.4 m [95% CI 5.5-27.3], 11 m [95% CI 6.8-not-reached (NR)] and 2.3 m [95% CI 0.7-NR], respectively (P=0.004). Median PFS for good, intermediate, and poor risk groups were 3 m [95% CI 1.9-12.6], 2.8 m [95% CI 1.6-6.0 and 1.2 m [95% CI 0.47-NR], respectively (P=0.004).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Baseline LIPI poor risk group is associated with poor outcomes for ICI in diffuse SCLC patients. LIPI effect in a validation cohort is currently evaluated.
