      Background

      BRAF mutations are found in 2-3% of NSCLC. BRAF inhibitors reportedly have antitumor activity. The French National Cancer Institute (INCa) launched a program giving nationwide access to vemurafenib for cancer patients with BRAF-mutated tumors and supported molecular screening. We herein report the NSCLC cohort results.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      BRAF mutational status was assessed on INCa molecular genetic centers by direct sequencing or NGS. Patients with mutated BRAF (V600E and others mutations) progressing after ≥1 standard treatment were proposed vemurafenib 960 mg BID. Objective Response Rate (ORR) was assessed using RECIST v1.1 every 8 weeks. A sequential Bayesian approach was planned to allow early stopping using an inefficacy bound for ORR of 10%. If no early stopping occurred, the treatment was considered worthy for further evaluation if there was a 90% probability that the estimated ORR is ≥30%, the efficacy bound.

      From 10/2014 to 10/2017, 118 NSCLC patients were enrolled: 101 with BRAF V600E and 17 with other potentially activating mutations (4 G466, 4 G469, 1 G596, 5 K601, and 3 N581). Median age was 68 years (range 34–85), 71% smokers, 48% females, 100% non-squamous histology, and 20% with ECOG PS 2. Most frequent grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were asthenia (9% of patients), epidermoid carcinoma (6%), dermatitis (5%), and increased GGT (5%). Three toxic deaths were reported: 1 nausea and vomiting leading to dehydration, 1 pneumonia, and 1 neutropenic sepsis.

      Nine patients were still on treatment at the cut-off date, 106 had stopped vemurafenib (65 PD, 26 AEs, 3 deaths, 1 doctor’s decision, 11 patient’s decisions).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Vemurafenib provided reasonable response rate and extended PFS in pretreated NSCLC patients with BRAF V600E mutations but was not effective in those with other BRAF mutations. These results emphasize the need of integrating BRAF V600E in routine biomarkers screening.

      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): Pierre Jean Souquet

      • 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.
