- Presentation
Background
Treatment for patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who failed ≥ 2 lines of chemotherapy have high unmet needs. Anlotinib is a novel TKI with highly selective inhibition effects on multi-targets, especially on VEGFR, c-Kit, PDGFR, FGFR. Here we report results of a phase 2 study of anlotinib for the third-line and further-line treatment of SCLC. (ALTER1202, NCT03059797).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Eligible either limited- or extensive-stage SCLC patients with disease progression after ≥ 2 lines of chemotherapy were randomized 2:1 to anlotinib or placebo (12 mg PO QD from day 1 to 14, every 3 weeks). The primary endpoint was PFS and secondary endpoints was OS, ORR, DCR, quality of life and safety.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Between March 2017 and May 2018, 120 patients from 11 centers were randomized to either anlotinib arm (n=82) or placebo arm (n=38). Until the data cutoff date (30 Jun 2018), median PFS was 4.1 months (95%CI, 2.8 to 4.2 months) in anlotinib arm and 0.7 months (95% CI, 0.7 to 0.8 months) in placebo arm (HR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.12 to 0.32, p<0.0001). OS data were not sufficiently mature for analysis. Although ORR was similar, considerable improvement in DCR was observed in anlotinib arm (71.6% vs 13.2%, p<0.0001). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred more frequently in anlotinib arm than that in placebo (87.7% and 74.4%). The most common TRAEs were hypertension, anorexia, fatigue, and hand-foot syndrome. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 29 (35.8%) of patients in anlotinib arm and 6 (15.4%) in placebo arm, respectively.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
ALTER 1202 study demonstrates anlotinib should be considered a treatment option for patients with relapsed SCLC who have experienced treatment failure with two lines of chemotherapy. The safety profile was consistent with the previous report and no newly adverse events were identified.

P1.01-61 - Clinical Characterization of ERBB2 Exon 20 Insertions and Heterogeneity of Outcomes to Afatinib in Chinese Lung Cancers (ID 13066)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Lin Wu
- Abstract
Background
Background: Human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2, ERBB2) gene alterations have been identified as oncogenic drivers in 2-5% of lung cancers. ERBB2 In-frame insertions in exon 20 (20ins) lead to constitutive activation of receptor and downstream pathways. However, response heterogeneity of different exon 20 insertions to ERBB2 inhibitor afatinib exists. In vitro and structural modeling results suggested that Glycine778 may facilitate inhibitor binding to ERBB2. In this study, our aim was to improve our understanding of clinical characteristics in ERBB2-mutated Chinese lung cancer and investigate the clinical outcomes of specific ERBB2 exon 20 insertions in response to afatinib.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Methods: We reviewed 7520 lung cancer patients whose tissue or plasma biopsies were sequenced in a CLIA-certified sequencing laboratory between 2015 to 2018. Clinical records of 19 patients (18 adenocarcinomas and 1 squamous cell carcinoma) with several different ERBB2 20ins after afatinib treatment were collected for clinical outcomes evaluation.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Results: ERBB2 20ins were identified in 2.27% (171/7,520) in this Chinese lung cancer cohort. It occurred with a high proportion in females with adenocarcinoma histology. 11.7% (20/171) ERBB2 20ins-positive patients harbored concomitant ERBB2 amplification. Y772_A775dup (119/171, 69.6%) was the most frequently occurred 20ins subtype, followed by G778_P780dup (18/171, 10.5%). For the 19 patients treated with afatinib, they had a median PFS of 4.5 months and median OS of 11.5 months. The overall response rate in this cohort was 15.8% (3/19) and disease control rate was 68.4% (13/19). Next, we interrogated the clinical outcomes of specific 20ins subtype responding to afatinib. We found that patients harboring G778_P780dup (G778) achieved longer median PFS (10 vs 3.3 months, p=0.32) and median OS (19.7 vs 7 months, p=0.16) than non-G778 patients, consisting with in vitro results. Although statistical significance was not achieved due to limited number of G778_P780dup patients, this result warranted further investigation into this phenomenon. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, we identified the first case of a lung squamous cell carcinoma patient harboring ERBB2 20ins from this cohort. He displayed favorable response to afatinib and achieved partial response with significant tumor shrinkage.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Conclusion: We interrogated the characteristics of ERBB2 exon 20 insertions in a large cohort from single ethnicity. It demonstrated the response heterogeneity to afatinib among different ERBB2 exon 20 insertion subtypes. It highlighted the importance to correlate drug efficacy with specific ERBB2 exon 20 insertion variants in clinical application.

P1.04-08 - Co-Residence of Patient-Derived Immune Cells in Patient-Derived Xenografts from Lung Cancer Patients (ID 11161)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Lin Wu
- Abstract
Background
Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models have been shown to recapitulate many characteristics of human tumors and have been increasingly used for anticancer drug development, molecular characterization of cancer biology, and development of precision therapies. However, because PDXs are grown in immunodeficient mouse strains, they are regarded as inappropriate for preclinical evaluation of anticancer immunotherapy. Here we evaluated whether patient-derived immune cells co-exist in PDXs derived from lung cancer patients.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
First-generation PDX (F1) was established by subcutaneously implanting human tumor tissue into non-obese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD-SCID) mice with a null mutation of the gene encoding for interleukin-2 receptor g (NSG). When the resulting tumors in these mice grew to about 1.5 cm in diameter, we passaged the tumors in NSG or nude mice for subsequent generations. A small piece of these PDX tissues (about 2-3 mm3) were minced into fragments and cultured in media containing human interleukin-2 (IL-2) (2000 -6000 units/ml) for up to 6 weeks. The proliferated lymphocytes for analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) with antibodies specific for human immune cell surface markers. The provenance of cultured cells was determined by DNA fingerprinting assay together with patients’ DNA samples from primary tumors and/or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
The mean time of PDX growth in NSG mice before harvesting for culturing tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was 120 days (ranging from 63-292 days). TILs were successfully cultured from 8 of 25 PDXs samples (about 32%), with one from F2 PDXs and 7 from F1 PDXs. TILs from five of those PDXs were predominantly human CD3+CD8+ T cells (72% -99%), while the remaining three were predominantly human CD19+ B cells (77% - 95%). DNA fingerprint analysis showed that genotypes of TILs were identical to patients’ primary tumors and/or PBMC, demonstrating that the TILs were from the same patients as the PDXs. Further analysis showed that CD8+ T cells from PDXs were CD45RO+, with either CD62L+ or CD62L-.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Patient-derived immune cells co-exist with PDXs in some lung cancer PDX models. Most of those immune cells were CD3+CD8+ and could be memory T cells. These results suggest that some PDXs might be used for evaluating functions of tumor resident immune cells and/or for evaluating anticancer immunotherapies.

P3.12-12 - Genomic Profiling of Pulmonary Large-Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (LCNEC) Reveals Distinct Mutational Landscape (ID 13244)
12:00 - 13:30 | Presenting Author(s): Lin Wu
- Abstract
Background
The controversial classification of lung neuroendocrine tumor has been amended a few times since recognised as a separate entity. LCNEC shares clinical features with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and they were both classified as lung neuroendocrine carcinoma according to the 2015 WHO lung primary pathology classification, numerous studies have revealed barely satisfactory outcomes when it was treated as SCLC. However the underlying molecular basis for such commonalities and discrepancies are poorly understood. In this study, we interrogated the genomic landscape of LCNEC and SCLC along with their histologically related subtypes: carcinoids and atypical carcinoids to define the molecular pattern of LCNEC.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We performed targeted sequencing in 35 tissue samples using a panel covering 520 cancer related genes, spanning 1.6MB of human genome, with an average sequencing depth of 1,418x. Among them, 15 were diagnosed with SCLC, 9 with LCNEC, 6 with carcinoid and 5 with atypical carcinoid.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
On average, LCNEC exhibited 13.5 mutations per million base pairs (Mb) and a C:G>A:T transversion rate of 34%, which is indicative of tobacco exposure. LCNEC had SCLC (16.7 Mb) had comparable TMB (p=0.18), which is significantly higher than carcinoids (1.2/Mb, p<0.001) and atypical carcinoids (2.4/Mb, p<0.001). The most frequently mutated gene in LCNEC is TP53 (89%, 8/9), followed by NOTCH1 (33%), KEAP1 (22%), RB1 (22%) and a few chromatin modifiers, including KMT2D (33%), KMT2C (33%). Co-mutation in TP53 and RB1, a hallmark of SCLC, was found in 22% (2/9) of LCNEC patients; in contrast, 80% of SCLC patients harbored concurrent mutation. 67% carcinoid (4/6) and 20% (1/5) atypical carcinoid patients had no mutation identified from this panel. No classic lung adenocarcinoma driver mutations were found in any subtype. Copy number analyses revealed significantly higher copy number variation (CNV) in SCLC and LCNEC comparing with carcinoids and atypical carcinoids, which yield virtually no CNV. Our analysis revealed a comparable CNV status of SCLC and LCNEC (p=0.158), with an enrichment in amplification of chromatin modifiers.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Our study, comprehensively characterized 4 subtypes of neuroendocrine tumors, revealed a high TMB and CG:AT transversion rate in LCNEC patients as well as a distinctive mutation landscape, with an enrichment of mutations occurring at chromatin remodelers. Furthermore, LCNEC has comparable TMB and CNV status as SCLC, which are significantly higher than carcinoid and atypical carcinoids.
