      Background

      Generally, distant metastases are seeded by lymph node metastases in most solid tumors. This concept provides a mechanistic basis for the TNM staging system and is the rationale for surgical resection of tumor-draining lymph nodes. However, a recent study found that lymphatic and distant metastases could arise from independent subclones in the primary colorectal cancer. The current study aimed to investigate the origins of lymphatic and brain metastasis in lung cancer.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      39 samples from twelve patients with primary lung cancer and brain metastases were identified. Three of them had the matched lymph node metastases. All tissues and matched peripheral blood samples were collected before any systemic treatment. Whole-exome (>150×) sequencing were conducted on these samples.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Compared to the primary lesions, both brain and lymph node metastases had the significantly different patterns of somatic genome alterations. The mutational landscape of brain metastases was also distinctly different from matched lymph node metastases. Primary lesions, matched brain and lymph node metastases showed the similar mutation pattern in terms of transition and transversion, and all of samples displayed a higher percentage of C>T transition. Brain metastases had numerically higher tumor mutational burden (TMB) than primary lesions but it did not reach the statistical significance. Notably, we observed the totally distinct origins of lymphatic and brain metastasis in all three matched cases.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The current evidence suggested that brain metastases and matched lymph node metastases had different mutational landscape in patients with lung cancer. Brain metastases had higher TMB than their primary lesions. Lymphatic and brain metastasis had distinct origins in lung cancer. These results had profound clinical implications for application of immunotherapy and improvement of prognosis in patients with lung cancer and brain metastases.

      MA09.11 - Genomic Landscape and its Correlation with TMB, CD8 TILs and PD-L1 Expression in Chinese Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ID 12370)

      16:25 - 16:30  |  Presenting Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Slides

      Background

      The current study aimed to comprehensively depict the genomic landscape of Chinese lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and investigate its correlation with tumor mutation burden (TMB), CD8 tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) density and PD-L1 expression.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Whole-exome sequencing (WES) were performed on tumor tissue collected from 189 patients with surgically resected LSCC. TMB was defined as total number of nonsynonymous single nucleotide and indel variants. High TMB was defined as greater than 75th percentile. CD8+ TILs and PD-L1 expression were assessed by immunohistochemistry. We determined the 5% of CD8+ TIL or PD-L1 expression as the cut-off point for high/low CD8+ TIL or PD-L1 positive/negative expression.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      We found recurrent mutations (>5%) in 8 genes, including TP53, KMT2C, NFE2L2, KEAP1, CDKN2A, PTEN and FBXW7. FGFR1 and PIK3CA amplifications were found in 19% and 11% of samples. 24.9% of patients had high TMB. Except for expected differences by smoking status, baseline clinical variables were similar between those with high and low TMB. Interestingly, FGFR1, PIK3CA or SOX2 amplification was independently associated with higher TMB (P=0.020, P=0.017, P=0.029; respectively). Patients with copy number variations had significantly higher TMB than those without (P=0.009). Positive PD-L1 and CD8+ TILs expression were identified in 24.3% and 78.8% of all cases. Baseline features were comparable between those with positive and negative CD8+ TIL or PD-L1 expression. NFE2L2 mutation and PIK3CA amplification were independently associated with significantly higher PD-L1 expression (P=0.003, P=0.014; respectively). TP53 mutations were associated with higher CD8+ TILs expression (P=0.008), but FGFR1 amplification was correlated with lower CD8+ TILs expression (P=0.042). Of note, there is no association between TMB and PD-L1 expression (r=0.052, P=0.476), or CD8+ TILs expression (r=0.026, P=0.718). None of TMB, PD-L1 and CD8+ TIL expression could individually predict overall survival (OS). However, combination of TMB and PD-L1 could stratify total populations into two groups with distinct prognosis. Patients with negative PD-L1 expression and high TMB had the worst prognosis (P=0.008). Additionally, combination of TMB and CD8+ TIL expression could also divide total populations into two groups with different prognosis (worst prognosis in negative CD8+ TIL expression and high TMB, P=0.022).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      This was the first and most large-scale study to comprehensively portray genomic landscape of Chinese LSCC. The current study provides several meaningful and referential findings for the future design of clinical trials in LSCC, especially immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint inhibitors.

      MA11.11 - Discrepancy of Tumor Neoantigen Burden Between Primary Lesions and Matched Metastases in Lung Cancer (ID 12289)

      11:40 - 11:45  |  Presenting Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Abstract

      • Slides

      Background

      Personalized vaccine based on tumor neoantigens showed the striking antitumor effect on several solid tumors, suggesting its significant and potential role in curing cancer. However, whether tumor neoantigens identified from primary lesions were similar to their matched metastases remain unknown. Here, we aimed to compare the tumor neoantigen burden (TNB) between primary lesions and matched metastases in lung cancer.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Primary lung cancers, matched metastatic sites and peripheral blood (10 mL, EDTA) were collected before any systemic therapy as part of the standard clinical care. Genomic DNA was extracted from all included samples. The matched peripheral blood leukocytes were used as the source for germline DNA control. DNA libraries were subjected to whole-exome capture and then sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq X-TEN platform. The criteria for tumor neoantigen identification were tumor specific mutations (missense, frameshift, inframe insertion or deletions), fold change > 10, high predicted affinity (IC50 < 500 nM) and predicted peptide of 9-10 amino acids in length.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Totally, 14 cases with matched lung primary lesions and metastases were enrolled, including 10 patients with liver metastases and 4 with brain metastases. A wide range of TNB were identified in both primary lesions (median 157, range 21-1156) and metastases (median 135, range 35-1902). We observed a large discrepancy of TNB between primary lesions and matched metastases, with a median unique percentage of 82.20% (74.03%-95.24%) in primary lesions and 84.50% (77.45%-97.14%) in metastases. In patients with brain metastases, primary lesions had a percentage of 90.98% (79.57%-95.24%) unique tumor neoantigens, while metastases had 86.03% (77.45%-97.14%). For those with liver metastases, the median unique percentage of tumor neoantigens was 80.58% (74.03%-88.66%) in primary lesions and 83.35% (78.49%-91.14%) in metastases. Smoking history and histological types had no impact on the discrepancy of TNB (P > 0.05, P > 0.05; respectively). TNB of primary lesions was similar to matched metastases (P = 0.733). However, primary lesions of brain metastases had a significantly higher percentage of unique tumor neoantigen than that of liver metastases (P = 0.025).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      There is a large percentage of different tumor neoantigens between primary lesions and matched metastases in lung cancer. Whether this discrepancy could affect the efficacy of following personalized vaccine on primary lesions or matched metastases need further investigation.

      MA15.09 - Dynamic Monitoring and Predictive Value of Circulating Tumor Cells in EGFR Mutant Advanced NSCLC Patients Treated with First-Line EGFR-TKIs (ID 13236)

      14:30 - 14:35  |  Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background

      We proposed a non-invasive, folate receptor (FR)-based circulating tumor cell (CTC) assay counts to predict and dynamically monitor the therapeutic response to first-line EGFR-TKIs in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Eligible patients were enrolled and three milliliter (mL) of blood were obtained prior to initial treatment, after one month, and follow-up every two months hereafter. CTCs were isolated based on negative enrichment by immunomagnetic beads and detected by a ligand-targeted polymerase chain reaction (LT-PCR) method.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      232 patients with EGFR mutations treated with first-line EGFR-TKIs were included. The objective response rate (ORR) of patients with low baseline CTC level (<20.5 FU/3 mL) were significantly higher than those with high baseline CTC level (≥20.5 FU/3 mL) (55.8% vs 38.5%, P = 0.030). Moreover, patients with low baseline CTC level had a markedly longer progression-free survival (PFS) than those with high baseline CTC level (HR = 0.50, P < 0.001). This difference remained significant after multivariate analysis (P = 0.003). Dynamic change of CTC value was significantly associated with partial response (PR) (P = 0.042) and stable disease (SD)/progression disease (PD) (P = 0.032). Of note, dynamic monitoring of CTC provided evidence of resistance to EGFR-TKIs before CT scanning, median: 113 days; range: 45 to 169 days.

      MA15.10 - Loss of T790M Mutation is Associated with Early Progression to Osimertinib in Chinese Advanced NSCLC Patients Harboring EGFR T790M (ID 13645)

      14:35 - 14:40  |  Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background

      Osimertinib has demonstrated striking superior efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients detected acuqired T790M mutation as resistant mechanism to upfront early-generation EGFR-TKIs. However, not all the T790M positive tumors are homogeneously sensitive to osimertinib, and the duration of response often varies. Previous studies suggest that loss of T790M mutation upon progression is related to decreased therapeutic benefit from osimertinib. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of T790M-mutant status and clinical outcomes after osimertinib treatment in Chinese NSCLC patients harboring acquired EGFR T790M mutation.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We reviewed the electric medical records of all patients receiving osimertinib monotherapy after detected acquired T790M mutation in rebiopsy after resistant to prior EGFR-TKIs, and underwent re-rebiopsy again upon progression to osimertinib at our hospital. Detailed clinicopathologic characteristics and response data were collected for all patients.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      From January 2014 to December 2016, 230 patients were confirmed T790M mutation positive for acquired resistance to early-generation EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib and icotinib). Among them, 90 patients received osimertinib monotherapy as subsequent treatment. Out of the patients, 84 (93.3%) were eligible for osimertinib-resistance analysis, and 31 (34.4%) patients underwent T790M detection in biopsy after disease progression to osimertinib. The most commonly used biopsy sample were tumor tissue, peripheral blood and hydrothorax. 16 patients remained T790M positive, while 15 patients lost T790M mutation in their re-rebiopsy samples. Loss of T790M upon progression was significantly associated with shorter duration of response to osimertinib (median time 5.93 vs 11.87 m, HR:0.325, 95%CI: 0.087 to 0.45, p=0.0005), while overall survival (OS) was not statistically different between T790M-loss and -remain groups. The objective response rates were also similar in two groups (85% and 100%, respectively). In multivariate analysis, T790M mutation loss remained significantly associated with early progression to osimertinib.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Loss of T790M mutation was associated early progression to osimertinib in Chinese NSCLC patients harboring acquired T790M mutation. Dynamic detection during osimertinib treatment may be a potential strategy to timely reveal disease progression.

      Background

      ALK inhibitors and chemotherapy are two major strategies in the treatment of patients with ALK-rearrangements in China. However, the respective treatment response varies and heterogeneous. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the impact of ALK variants on different treatment response and explore progression pattern respectively.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 135 patients with determined ALK variants and medical record from January 2013 to July 2017 in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      figure 1.jpgThe most frequent ALK variant was variant 1 in 62 patients (46%), followed by variant 3a/b in 52 patients (38%) and variant 2 (12%). 69 (51.1%) of patients received chemotherapy, whereas 64 (47.4%) were treated with crizotinib and 2 (1.5%) with alectinib.The similar PFS was observed in patients ALK variant 1 and non-variant 1 regardless of first-line treatment strategy (crizotinib: 15.7 vs. 12.8 months, p=0.53; chemotherapy: 5.7 vs. 8.1 months, p=0.098). However, in the subgroup analysis, patients with ALK variant 1 and baseline brain metastasis had significantly shorter PFS in the first-line setting versus non-variant 1 (4.9 vs. 11.3 months, HR=2.96, p<0.01). Additionally, ORR was 21.6% and 50% in variant 1 and non-variant 1 patients with brain metastases, respectively. Moreover, in the analysis of progression pattern, 55 patients with ALK variant 1 and 57 patients with ALK non-variant 1 exhibited PD. As to ALK variant 1, the incidence of CNS relapse in patients treated with crizotinib was significantly higher than patients treated with chemotherapy (39.3% vs. 7.4%, p=0.005). In terms of ALK non-variant 1,the patients treated with chemotherapy had higher incidence of bone progression than patients treated with crizotinib (25% vs. 0%, p=0.021).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Our results firstly indicate the treatment-naïve patients with ALK variant 1 and baseline brain metastasis have inferior response to initial cancer treatment. Different ALK variants have distinct landscape of progression pattern when treated with crizotinib or chemotherapy.

      Background

      Non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring EGFR mutations have significant clinical benefit from EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, these patients develop resistance eventually. With the promising implementation of immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the programmed cell death receptor/ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) pathway for the treatment of lung cancer, there is a growing interest in developing combinatorial therapies that could utilize this immuneapproach in the context of targeted therapies. Although many clinical trials have attempted to study combining EHGR-TKIs with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in NSCLC cases, the clinical benefit is still undefined. Therefore, we carry out this study to investigate the immune response of EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-driven lung tumors, aiming to explore factors may influence the efficacy of this combination strategy.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We investigated the early and long-term antitumor effects of first-generation TKI gefitinib and third-generation TKI osimertinib respectively in mice with EGFRL858R andEGFR19DEL/T790M-driven lung tumors.The changes of immune texture in tumors were dynamically tested in different treatment groups by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Upon treatment of gefitinib and osimertinib, we saw significant tumor regression in mice with TKI-sensitive EGFRL858R lung adenocarcinoma. However, mice with EGFR19DEL/T790M-driven tumors did not respond to gefitinib, but did show a significant tumor response to third-generation TKI osimertinib treatment. Accompanied with obvious tumor shrinkage, we saw a significant increase of infiltrating CD11b+ myeloid cells and CD3+ lymphocytes throughout treatment. We further analyzed subpopulation of CD11b+ myeloid cells and CD3+ lymphocytes. Results showed that EGFR-TKIs may demonstrated anti-tumor activity by raising cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, activating dendritic cells, eradicating Foxp3+ Tregs and inhibiting M2-like polarization at early stage. However, these immune benefits occurred temporarily and gradually disappeared with treatment went on. On the other hands, the proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs), particular mononuclear-MDSCs were consistently elevated responding to sensitive EGFR-TKIs treatment.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Together, results of our study provide novel insights into the immune response to EGFR-TKIs in vivo and provides rationale for potential combinations of EGFR-TKIs and immunotherapies for the treatment of lung carcinomas in the early setting, before the establishment of tumor relapse with long-term EGFR inhibition.And additional therapies aiming to eliminate certain immunosuppressive components should be considered when applying this combination strategy.

      OA07.03 - Addition of Local Therapy to EGFR TKI Showed Survival Benefit in EGFR-Mutant NSCLC pts with Oligometastatic or Oligoprogressive Liver Metastases (ID 12263)

      15:35 - 15:45  |  Presenting Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background

      Our previous study demonstrated that EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients (Pts) with liver metastases (LM) showed poor response to EGFR-TKIs than those without LM, suggesting that additional treatment is warranted. Recently, several clinical studies indicated that local therapy (e.g. surgery and radiotherapy) could significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) in NSCLC Pts with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive disease. This study aimed to investigate whether addition of local therapy to EGFR-TKIs could provide a better survival benefit than TKIs alone in EGFR-mutant NSCLC Pts with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive LM.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Pts with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and LM were enrolled. Oligometastatic LM was defined as < 5 sites in liver without extrahepatic metastases at initial diagnosis. Oligoprogressive LM was defined as < 5 sites in liver without extrahepatic metastases during TKIs therapy. For oligoprogressive cohort, PFS1 was calculated from time of initiation of TKI therapy to first RECIST 1.1 defined progress disease (PD) or death. PFS2 was calculated from time of initiation of TKI therapy to off-TKI PD.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Totally, 135 cases with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and LM were eligible (64 with oligometastatic LM and 71 with oligoprogressive LM). In oligometastatic cohort, 20 Pts received EGFR-TKIs (E) and 23 Pts received EGFR-TKIs plus local therapy (E+LT) as first-line treatment. The addition of local therapy showed a significantly longer PFS (12.9 vs. 7.9 m, P = 0.041) and OS (36.8 vs. 21.3 m, P = 0.034) than EGFR-TKIs alone. In oligoprogressive cohort, 24 Pts received continuation of EGFR-TKIs plus local therapy (cE+LT) and 25 Pts received switch therapy (ST). Median PFS1 was similar. Median PFS2 (13.9 vs. 9.2 m, P = 0.007) and OS (28.3 vs. 17.1 m, P = 0.011) was significantly longer in cE+LT group than in ST group. Multivariate analysis revealed that addition of local therapy was independently associated with prolonged PFS (HR = 0.435, P = 0.028) and OS (HR = 0.434, P = 0.071) in Pts with oligometastatic LM. Distant metastatic sites were the major pattern of failure in EGFR-TKI plus local therapy group while locoregional recurrence including primary lesions and LM was the major reason in TKI alone group.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The current study suggested that EGFR-TKIs plus local therapy demonstrated the prolonged survival benefit than EGFR-TKIs alone in EGFR-mutant NSCLC Pts with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive LM. These findings suggest that local therapy should be further explored in large-scale, strictly designed clinical trials as a standard treatment option in this clinical scenario.

      P1.13-26 - First-Line Continual EGFR-TKI Plus LAT Demonstrated Survival Benefit in Egfr-Mutant Nsclc Patients with Oligoprogressive Disease (ID 11143)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Abstract

      Background

      The effect of local ablative therapy (LAT) for oligoprogressive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains undetermined. This study aimed to investigate the survival benefit of addition of LAT to EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with oligoprogression during TKI therapy.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with stage IIIB/IV EGFR mutant NSCLC who had oligoprogressive disease during the first-line EGFR-TKI therapy from March 2011 to February 2016 were identified. The primary research point were progression-free survival1 (PFS1), defined as time of initiation of TKI therapy to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1 defined progress disease (PD) or death and PFS2, defined as time of initiation of TKI therapy to off-TKI PD. The second research piont inclued overal survival (OS) and safety.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      A total of 206 patients were included. The median follow-up time was 42 months (20.0-69.6 months). The median PFS1, median PFS2 and median OS for the related cohort were 10.7 months (95% CI, 10.1-13.3 months), 18.3 months (95% CI, 17.4-19.2 months) and 37.4 months (95% CI, 35.9-38.9 months) respectively. Survival rates of 1 year, 2 years and 3 years were 94.1%, 78.9%, and 54.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that female, EGFR exon 19 mutation, one metastatic lesion, partial or complete response to prior EGFR TKIs therapy were the independent prognostic factors. No unexpected toxicities were observed.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The current study suggested that the addition of LAT to EGFR-TKI could provide satisfactory survival benefit for EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with oligoprogression during first-line EGFR-TKI treatment.

      P3.04-21 - Antibiotics Attenuate the Clinical Benefit of Anti-PD-(L)1 Immunotherapies in Chinese Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 13555)

      12:00 - 13:30  |  Author(s): Tao Jiang

      • Abstract

      Background

      Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-(L)1 have shifted the treatment paradigm of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but responses are often heterogeneous and temporary. Several landmark publications have confirmed the dominant role of gut microbiome in modulating tumor responses to ICIs, suggesting the predictive value of antibiotics (ATB) in patients treated with anti-PD-(L)1 antibody. However, more evidence is needed to comprehensively reveal the association between ATB usage and ICIs therapeutic response in NSCLC, especially in Chinese populations.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC received anti-PD-(L)1 based therapies at our hospital. Detailed clinicopathologic characteristics, response data and ATB usage were collected for all patients. The patients receiving ATB within one month around the first administration of ICIs (defined as ATB-treated) were compared to those without (ATB-untreated).

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      109 cases receiving anti-PD-(L)1 based therapies and underwent response evaluation were identified. 65 (59.3%) of them received monotherapy and 44 received combination therapies including anti-PD-(L)1 plus anti-angiogenesis/chemotherapy. 35 (32.1%) patients had been prescribed ATB 60 days before or during the course of ICIs treatment, and 20 (18.3%) were categorized as ATB-treated group. The most commonly administered ATB were β-lactam inhibitors, fluoroquinolones and macrolides. No major statistical differences in baseline clinicopathologic features were observed between ATB-treated and -untreated groups. The objective response rates (ORR) to ICIs in two groups were 65% and 82%, respectively. ATB treatment was significantly associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (median 3.73 vs 9.3 m, p<0.001), and also tended to be associated with primary disease progression (35% vs 18%, p=0.087). The overall survival (OS) (median 31.9 vs 37.6 m, p=0.74) was similar in two groups, but ATB appeared to be related to decreased duration of survival from ICI treatment start to death (median 6.07 vs 26.9 m, p=0.002). In multivariable analysis, ATB treatment was markedly associated with poorer ORR and survival to ICIs after adjusting for prior line treatment setting, ICI regimens, numbers of ICI-related toxicity and clinical characteristics.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      ATB usage was a predictor for decreased clinical benefit from anti-PD-(L)1immunotherapies in Chinese NSCLC patients. More comprehensive understanding of the interaction between gut microbiome and ATB is still in urgent need. Furthermore, modulating ATB-related gut microbiome dysbiosis may enhance response to anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapies.
