      Background

      Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive metastatic adenocarcinoma of lung constitutes 3-5% of all lung cancers. Outcome of this small sub-group improved substantially over last few years with discovery of many ALK-inhibitors. Indian patients scarcely represented in the registration trials of ALK-inhibitors. Here, we report our experience of clinic-pathological characteristics, treatment outcome & prognostic factors in ALK-positive metastatic adenocarcinoma of lung

      This is a single institutional review of patients treated between Oct’13 and Feb’18. ALK was assessed by Ventana immunohistochemistry and/or fluorescent-in-situ hybridization analysis. Response assessment was done by RECIST v1.1. Patient who received at least one cycle of chemotherapy or one month of ALK-inhibitor was assessed for survival analysis in a modified intent-to-treat analysis

      Seventy-eight patients were registered with median age of 53 years (range: 24-82). Baseline features and treatment details are mentioned in Table 1. After median follow-up of 15 months (range: 1-53), median overall survival (OS) was 52.2 months (95 CI: 37.2 – not reached) and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 17.8 months (95 CI: 13.1-24.2). Median OS was 37.2 months & not reached whereas median PFS was 14.2 months & 22 months in patients treated with upfront chemotherapy (n=24) and with upfront ALK-inhibitor (n=32), respectively. 2ndline PFS was 22.6 months among patients (n=13) treated with 2nd line treatment. On multivariate analysis, gender (p=0.007) and upfront treatment regimen (p=0.001) emerged as independent prognostic factors for PFS whereas performance status (p=0.02) and upfront treatment regimen (p=0.01) showed significance for OS.

      Primary tumor size was small with higher nodal burden and brain metastases in our cohort. Outcome was excellent with use of ALK-inhibitors in our series. Female sex and upfront use of ALK-inhibitors showed superior PFS whereas as good performance status and upfront use of ALK-inhibitors showed superior OS.
