P1.01-04 - Treatment Patterns and Overall Survival Following Biomarker Testing in Real-World Advanced NSCLC Patients (ID 12743)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Tariq I. Mughal
- Abstract
Background
Foundation Medicine (FMI) comprehensive genomic profiling and other next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests are gaining importance in routine clinical management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They assess multiple genetic alterations that drive sensitivity or resistance to treatment, enabling optimal therapeutic decisions. We evaluated the effect of biomarker testing on treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) in real-world advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC) patients receiving different test types, and in non-tested patients.

The Flatiron Health (FH) Database comprises patient-level electronic health records from a large network of US cancer clinics. Patients had aNSCLC diagnoses between 01/2013 and 05/2017, ≥2 clinic visits in the FH network, first treatment starting ≤90 days after aNSCLC diagnosis, and biomarker tests before first treatment. Testing data were abstracted for five biomarkers (EGFR, ALK, KRAS, ROS1, and PD-L1). Patients were hierarchically categorized into three testing groups: FMI, other NGS, and single-biomarker non-NGS. Biomarker status and patterns in first treatment were described. Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare OS among testing groups and non-tested patients.

As of 11/30/2017, 355 patients had ≥1 FMI test, 780 had ≥1 other NGS test, and 6,363 had ≥1 non-NGS test prior to first treatment; 5,148 patients were never tested. Table 1 summarizes biomarker status, treatment patterns, and results of multivariate survival models adjusted for baseline demographic and clinical differences among testing groups. Patients with FMI tests were more likely to receive NCCN-recommended targeted treatments. Better OS was observed for FMI, other NGS, and non-NGS compared with non-tested patients.

ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; ICI, immune checkpoint inhibitor; NCCN, National Comprehensive Cancer Network.1 Denotes biomarker status overall prior to starting first treatment and represents overall status from all test-types. In case of multiple tests, the following hierarchy is used: positive>negative>pending/unsuccessful/indeterminate/unknown.
2 Based on the NSCLC NCCN Guidelines, Version 3. 2018; 02/21/2018.
3 NCCN-recommended targeted therapy implies treatment regimens containing at least one of the following: erlotinib, afatinib, gefitinib, osimertinib, crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, dabrafenib+trametinib, cabozantinib, vandetanib, ado-trastuzumab emtansine.

* Indicates a statistically significant estimate (p<0.05).
Complexity of real-world aNSCLC biomarker testing and associated treatments creates challenges when comparing OS among testing groups. In the future, as more treatments targeting a wider array of genomic alterations become available and accessible, the utility of NGS-based assays to guide NCCN-recommended treatments with actionable targets and differences in OS may become more apparent.
