MA12.06 - STELLAR – Final Results of a Phase 2 Trial of TTFields with Chemotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (ID 13806)
11:05 - 11:10 | Author(s): Lucio Crinò
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are an anti-mitotic, regional treatment modality, utilizing low intensity alternating electric fields delivered non-invasively to the tumor using a portable, medical device. In-vitro, human mesothelioma cells were highly susceptible to TTFields. TTFields have been shown to significantly extend survival of patients with glioblastoma when added to chemotherapy.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
The trial accrued 80 patients with unresectable, previously untreated mesothelioma. Patients were treated with continuous 150 kHz TTFields (>18h/day) in combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin or carboplatin (at standard dosing). Inclusion criteria included ECOG PS of 0-1, pathologically proven mesothelioma and at least one measurable lesion according to modified RECIST criteria. Patients were followed q3w (CT scan q6w) until disease progression. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) and secondary endpoints were response rate, progression free survival (PFS) and toxicity. This prospective, single arm study assumed an historical control with a median survival of 12.1 months (Vogelzang et al. 2003). The sample size provides 80% power with a two-sided alpha of 0.05 to detect an increase in median OS of 5.5 months.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
All 80 patients were enrolled between 2016 and 2017, with a minimum follow up of 12 months. Median age was 67 (range 27-78), 84% were male and 56% smokers. 16% (13 patients) had metastatic disease and 44% (35 patients) had an ECOG PS of 1. 66% (53 patients) had epithelioid histology. Compliance with TTFields was 68% (16.3 hours/day) during the first 3 months of therapy and 63% (50 patients) received carboplatin.
Median OS was 18.2 months (95% CI 12.1-25.8) compared to 12.1 months in the historical control. Median PFS was 7.6 months (95% CI 6.7-8.6) compared to 5.7 months in the historical control. Partial responses were seen in 40.3% of patients and clinical benefit (PR+SD) was seen in 97.2% of patients. No device-related serious adverse events (AEs) were reported. Expected TTFields-related dermatitis was reported in 46% (37 patients). Only 4 patients (5%) had grade 3 dermatitis. The following grade 3-4 systemic AEs were reported in >3% of patients: hematological AEs (15%) and fatigue (4%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
The study met its primary endpoint of significant extension of survival for previously untreated mesothelioma patients. Secondary efficacy endpoints were also improved compared to historical control. The study demonstrated no safety concerns for the combination of TTFields to the thorax together with standard chemotherapy. These results support the addition of TTFields to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of first-line malignant pleural mesothelioma.

P1.01-53 - Bone Metastases and Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Patients with Pretreated Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 11980)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Lucio Crinò
- Abstract
Background
Approximately 40% of NSCLC patients develop bone metastases (BoM). Bone has active functions in regulating immune system. To date, no trial evaluated the role of BoM in modulating response to immunotherapy. Aim of the present study was to investigate whether presence of BoM impact on immunotherapy efficacy.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Two different cohorts of pretreated NSCLC patients (cohort A: Non-squamous; cohort B: Squamous) were evaluated for nivolumab efficacy in terms of objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) according to presence or absence of BoM. All patients received nivolumab at standard dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks within the Italian Expanded Access Program.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Cohort A accounted for 1588 patients with non-squamous NSCLC: 626 (39%) with (BoM+) and 962 (61%) without BoM (BoM-). Cohort B accounted for 370 patients with squamous histology: 102 BoM+ (32%) and 251 BoM- (68%). In Cohort A, BoM+ had a significantly lower ORR (12% versus 34%; p < 0.0001), shorter PFS (2.0 versus 4.0 months, p < 0.0001) and shorter OS (7.4 versus 15.3 months, p <0.0001). In cohort B, BoM+ had significantly lower ORR (15% versus 22%; p < 0.04), shorter PFS (2.7 versus 5.4 months, p <0.0001) and shorter OS (5.0 versus 10.9 months, p <0.0001). Presence of BoM negatively affected outcome irrespective of PS (OS cohort A: PS-0 BoM+ 12.0 versus 20.9 months in PS-0 BoM-, p<0.0001; OS cohort B: PS-0 BoM+ 5.8 versus 16.4 months in PS-0 BoM-, p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that presence of BoM independently associated with higher risk of death with HR 1.64 and HR 1.78, for Cohort A and B, respectively.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Our results, the first assessing BoM in patients treated with immunotherapy, suggested that BoM predict lower efficacy of immunotherapy. BoM should be included as stratification factor in clinical trials.

P1.13-23 - TP53 Mutations as Mechanisms of Primary and Acquired Resistance to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Patients With EGFR-Mutated NSCLC (ID 13954)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Lucio Crinò
- Abstract
Background
Around 80% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations usually respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). We previously demonstrated that TP53 mutations are associated with primary resistance to TKIs in patients with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) treated with a first-line TKI. In the present study we investigated whether TP53 mutations are modulated by TKIs, evaluating its status before and after TKI treatment.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Thirty-five patients with EGFR-mutated lung ADC treated with a first-line TKI and who subsequently underwent re-biopsy after disease progression were considered. Tumor tissue was available for evaluation before and after TKI treatment for all patients. EGFR and TP53 mutation analyses were performed by Sanger Sequencing or Next Generation Sequencing methods. The different mutations were evaluated in relation to disease control rate (DCR) [complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD)] and objective response rate (ORR) (CR, PR).
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Of the 35 patients, 14 (40%) showed a TP53 mutation, 12 in exons 5-8 (5 in exon 5, 2 in exon 6, 2 in exon 7 and 3 in exon 8) and 2 in other exons (1 in exon 2 and 1 in exon 4) of the gene. The group was treated with a first-line TKI and data on response and follow-up were available for 30 patients. Of these, 11 were treated with gefitinib, 11 with erlotinib, 6 with afatinib and 2 with dacomitinib. Overall DCR and ORR were 90% and 77%, respectively. With regard to TP53 mutations, DCR and ORR were 94% and 83%, respectively, in TP53 wt patients, and 83% and 66% in TP53 mutated cases. All 30 patients underwent re-biopsy at progression and 20 (67%) showed T790M mutation in tumor tissue. Of the 10 T790M-negative patients, 5 (50%) had a TP53 mutation which was not present at baseline in 2 cases. Among the patients who were TP53 wild type at baseline, 4 (22%) showed a mutation at disease progression. Data on progression free survival and overall survival are currently being evaluated.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
TP53 mutations were associated with a lower response to TKIs in EGFR-mutated patients and may have been acquired during TKI treatment, independently of the T790M mutation.

P2.13-06 - TP53 Status in Relation to Response to Anti-ALK Agents in Patients with EML4-ALK-Translocated NSCLC (ID 12580)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Lucio Crinò
- Abstract
Background
Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying the EML4-ALK translocation are responsive to anti-ALK agents, such as crizotinib. However, about 30%-40% of patients show primary resistance to treatment. We previously demonstrated that TP53 mutations are associated with poorer prognosis in EGFR-mutated patients treated with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors. In the present study we analyzed the impact of TP53 mutations on response to anti-ALK treatment in EML4-ALK-translocated NSCLC
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Eighty-three patients with EML4-ALK-translocated NSCLC identified in the Wide Catchment Area of Romagna between 2012 and 2016 were considered. TP53 status was evaluated in 61 patients on the basis of DNA availability. Of these, 28 patients received an anti-ALK agent as second-or-more-line treatment and follow-up data were available. TP53 status was analyzed in relation to disease control rate (DCR): complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD).
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Overall, TP53 mutations were observed in 14 (23%) patients, 6 (43%) showing a mutation in exon 5, 1 (7%) in exon 6, 3 (21%) in exon 7 and 4 (28%) in exon 8. We found one insertion (7%), one deletion (7%) and 12 point mutations (86%). Of the 28 patients treated with an anti-ALK agent, 5 (20%) showed TP53 mutations, 2 (40%) in exon 5, 1 (20%) in exon 5 and 2 (40%) in exon 8. Clinical response was not evaluable in 3 patients due to rapid disease progression (2 had a stop mutation in exon 5 of TP53). DCR for the remaining 25 patients was 60% in those with TP53-mutated tumors and 92% in those with TP53 wild-type disease.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
TP53 mutations were associated with a poorer DCR in EML4-ALK-translocated NSCLC patients treated with an anti-ALK agent. These results highlight the potential role of TP53 in determining primary resistance to anti-ALK agents, and should be confirmed in a wider case series.
