MA14.02 - Use and Impact of A Systematic Advanced Care Planning in Hospitalized Lung Cancer Patients: A Prospective Study. (ID 13997)
10:35 - 10:40 | Presenting Author(s): Anne Claire Toffart
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
End-of-life communication is crucial, particularly for cancer patients. In usual practice, advanced care planning discussions with the patients are uncommon and rarely documented. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of advanced care planning on intensity of care in cases of organ failure in lung cancer patients.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
This prospective study was performed at the Grenoble University Hospital in France. Consecutive patients hospitalized in thoracic oncology unit between 01/28/2014 and 03/31/2016 were included and followed up to 12/31/2016. At each hospital admission, lung cancer patients benefited from advanced care planning. We defined 3 intensities of care: intensive care, maximal medical care and exclusive palliative care. The propositions of care could be modified during the hospitalization. Patients’ wishes should be received.

Data of 715 hospitalizations corresponding to 473 patients were studied. Hundred fifty nine patients had a second hospitalization and 69 a third. At first admission, 247 (52%) patients had a performance status of 0 to 2, 186 (39%) were not yet treated for the cancer and 165 (35%) in progression. Main reasons of admission were an acute disease (n=208, 44%) and supportive care of cancer symptoms (n=167, 35%).
During the three first admissions, 173 (25%) patients developed an organ failure. Among them, 56 (32%) had intensive care proposition, 104 (61%) maximal medical care, and 13 (7%) exclusive palliative care. Median time between admission and organ failure was 9 days [IQR 25%-75%, 3-13]. All patients benefited from intensity of care equal or lower than the proposed intensity of care. Among patients planed for intensive care, 17 (30%) patients received intensive care, 22 (39%) maximal medical care and 17 (30%) exclusive palliative care. Thirteen of the 39 patients not admitted in ICU despite organ failure and previous proposition of intensive care were considered too well by the oncologist. Patients’ wishes were recorded for 158 (91%) patients, and a discussion about end of life conditions was led with 116 (73%) patients or families.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
In case of organ failure, an advanced care planning appears helpful to provide reasonable intensity of care. The proposition of care seems to be adapted to the patient’s general condition and cancer characteristics. 3/4 of the patients with an organ failure benefited from a discussion about end of life conditions.

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): Anne Claire Toffart
- 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.
