      Background

      Radon is a radioactive gas, considered the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. We assessed the correlation between the radon exposure areas in France and the molecular alterations nationally registered in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively collected all NSCLC tested for EGFR, BRAF, HER2 and KRAS mutations (m) and ALK and ROS1 rearrangements (r) on the 28 French Plateform led by INCa (French National Cancer Institute). The prevalence of molecular alterations by region was correlated to the indoor radon risk area based on the official French (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire, INSN, France). Paris and its region Ile-de-France were not included in this analysis due to its high rate of patients that are native from other regions.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      116.424 NSCLC were included. Overall, KRAS was positive in 27,7% (27.314/98.522), EGFR in 11,27% (13.125/116.424), ALK in 3,2% (2.928/91.291), BRAF in 2,3% (2.419/105.919), ROS1 in 1,12% (373/33.222) and HER2 in 0,8% (816/97.749) of all cases.

      We stratified the French regions in 3 areas based on their exposure to radon: high (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bretagne, Normandie, Pays de la Loire), intermediate (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Nouvelle Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Cote-d'Azur) and low explosure (Centre Val-de-Loire, Grand Est, Hauts de France). The prevalence of driver alterations (EGFR, BRAF, HER2 and ROS1 were significantly higher in high exposure area. The prevalence of KRAS mutations was significantly higher in low exposure area.

      NSCLC molecular alterations that are linked to low tobacco consumption were higher in the French region with high radon exposure. Role of the radon in lung cancer carcinogenesis of specific molecular subtypes should be further explored.

      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): Edouard Auclin

      • 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): Edouard Auclin

      • 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.
