      Background
      Previous results of CTONG1506 study showed that gene aberration test rate was increasing in Chinese NSCLC patients and first-line treatment was standardized accordingly. This survey further described one year survival of patients with different gene aberration status and under different first-line treatments.

      CTONG1506 was a two-year series cross-sectional study. Patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC who were admitted from August 2015 to March 2016 and who received first-line anti-cancer treatment at one of 12 tertiary hospitals across China were included. Data extracted from medical charts were entered into medical record abstraction forms, which were collated for analysis. Survival information was collected one year after patients were admitted to hospital. One year survival rate and its 95% confidence interval were analysed by Kaplan-Meier method.

      A total of 707 patients were analysed, with mean age of 57 years and 56.7% were male. Among the 487 patients who had survival data, 192 were EGFR- mutation positive (86 mutated in exon 19 [one year survival rate 0.90, 95% CI: 0.81-0.94] and 88 mutated in exon 21 [one year survival rate 0.84, 95% CI: 0.75-0.90]), 27 patients were ALK positive and 164 patients were EGFR and ALK wild type. Most EGFRmutation positive patients (128/192) received tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as first-line treatment and most EGFR wild type patients (155/175) received first-line chemotherapy (Chemo). Pemetrexed was the most common non-platinum chemotherapy-backbone agent (120/155) in platinum doublet regimens. One year survival rates are shown in the table.

      This national-wide real world study of tertiary hospitals in China revealed that a majority of (>75%) advanced nonsquamous NSCLC patients survived more than one year and was comparable to well-controlled clinical trial results, indicating survival benefits by gene aberration status guided standard of care. This result may be further validated by our on-going two-year survey.

      OA13.06 - Final Report of a Prospective Randomized Study on Thoracic Radiotherapy Target Volumes in Limited-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer with Radiation Dosimetric and Pathologic Analyses (ID 11970)

      Background

      The interim analysis of our prospective trial, which compared irradiation to pre-chemotherapy or post-chemotherapy tumour extent while application of involved field radiotherapy (IFRT) for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC), showed that reduced field did not result in increased local/regional out-field recurrence. This report presents the final results of the clinical study with radiation dosimetric and pathologic analysis as interpretations.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Chemotherapy consisted of 4 to 6 cycles of etoposide and cisplatin (EP). After 2 cycles of EP, patients were randomly assigned to receive thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) to either the post- or pre-chemotherapy tumour extent as study arm or control. TRT was administered concurrently with cycle 3 chemotherapy. IFRT was applied for both arms. The lymph node regions (groups 1 to 10) were contoured in treatment planning system. The intentional or incidental radiation doses to each lymph node regions were recorded. Patients with stage T1-2N0-1M0 SCLC received radical lobectomy. The minimal distances between microscopic nidus and the edge of gross tumor were measured. The clinical target volume of the primary tumor (CTV-T) was defined as the margins covering 95% of microscopic disease extension.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Between June, 2002 and January, 2017, 159 and 150 patients were randomly assigned to study arm or control. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year local/regional progression free probability were 79.4%, 60.1% and 60.1% respectively in the study arm versus 79.8%, 64.5%, and 57.3% in the control (p=0.73). The median overall survival (OS) time was 22.1 months in the study arm (95% CI, 18.2-26.0) and 26.9 months (95% CI, 23.5-30.3) in the control, the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS rates were 81.1%, 31.6%, 23.9% and 22.2% respectively in the study arm versus 85.3%, 36.6%, 26.1% and 20.0% in the control arm (p=0.51). A total of 1680 lymph node regions in 105 patients were contoured. The lymph node regions that received incidental radiation doses over 30Gy were: 7, 3P, 4L, 6, 4R, 5 and 2L. Eight patients were enrolled in the pathologic evaluation of CTV-T. The median range of CTV-T in patients received or did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy were 0.4mm and 1.7mm respectively, a margin of 1.4mm and 10.2mm could cover 95% of microscopic nidus extension respectively (p=0.00).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Irradiating post-chemotherapy tumour extent and applicant of IFRT didn't increase local/regional failure, and the OS difference wasn't statistically significant between the two arms. TRT could be limited to post-chemotherapy tumour extent, while IFRT could be routinely applied for limited-stage SCLC patients.

      P1.01-98 - A Phase IIIb Trial of Afatinib in EGFRm+ NSCLC: Analyses of Outcomes in Patients with Brain Metastases or Dose Reductions (ID 12906)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Yi Ping Zhang

      • Abstract

      Background

      We previously reported interim results of a large (n=479) open-label, single-arm Phase IIIb study of afatinib in EGFR TKI-naïve patients with EGFRm+ NSCLC, in a setting similar to ‘real-world’ practice (Wu et al, WCLC, 2017). In this broad population of Asian patients, the tolerability profile of afatinib was predictable and manageable. Adverse events (AEs) were consistent with the LUX-Lung 3, 6 and 7 trials; 3.8% of patients discontinued due to drug-related AEs. Progression-free survival (PFS) and time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) was encouraging, in patients with both common and uncommon EGFR mutations. TTSP data suggested effective treatment beyond progression. Here, we assess the impact of baseline brain metastases and use of dose reductions on efficacy outcomes.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with locally advanced/metastatic EGFRm+ NSCLC were recruited in China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore and Taiwan. Afatinib 40mg/day was given until disease progression (investigator-assessed) or lack of tolerability. Treatment-related AEs could be managed by protocol-specified tolerability-guided dose adjustment.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      At data cut-off (13 Feb 2017), patient characteristics were as follows: median age, 59.0 years; female, 52.4%; EGFR mutations: Del19+/-L858R+/-uncommon, 86.0%; uncommon only, 14.0%; ECOG PS0, 19.8%; PS1, 78.1%. Prior chemotherapy lines: 0, 59.7%; 1, 30.1%; ≥2, 10.2%.

      Overall, dose reductions from 40mg/day to 30mg/day occurred in 119 patients (25%). Incidences of the most frequently reported AEs before and after dose reduction were (any grade): diarrhea, 96/51%; rash/acne, 69/58%; stomatitis, 65/42%; (≥grade 3) diarrhea, 27/4%; rash/acne, 24/11%; stomatitis, 11/5%. A total of 96 patients had a dose reduction during the first six months; median PFS in this subgroup was 14.1 months (95% CI: 10.0–19.3) versus 11.33 (10.7–13.6) months in those who remained on the starting dose (n=383); HR=1.37 (1.01–1.85), p=0.041. Median TTSP was 17.7 (13.5–23.7) and 14.7 (12.7–17.0) months, respectively; HR=1.26 (0.92–1.72), p=0.15.

      Among 92 patients (19.2%) with brain metastases at baseline, median PFS was 10.9 (8.3–14.3) months, versus 12.4 (10.8–13.9) months in those without metastases (n=387); HR=1.23 (0.91–1.65), p=0.18. Median TTSP was 14.8 (12.7–20.7) and 15.4 (12.9–18.0) months, respectively; HR=1.0 (0.71–1.40), p=1.0.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      These findings demonstrate that tolerability-guided dose adjustment of afatinib is an effective measure to reduce treatment-related AEs, while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. TTSP was similar between patients with and without brain metastasis. This is additional evidence for the efficacy of afatinib in patients with brain metastases.
