      141P - Effect of central nervous system (CNS) metastases in a real-world multicenter cohort study of Spanish ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (p) (ID 565)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): Edurne Arriola Aperribay

      Background

      CNS is a common site of metastases in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC. CNS metastases are associated with a number of deleterious effects, such as reduction in quality of life. However, the relationship between brain metastases and prognosis remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect of CNS metastases on overall survival (OS) in a multicenter cohort of Spanish ALK-positive NSCLC patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2017.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      We included patients with stage IV at diagnoses, followed up to April 2018; OS (months [m]) was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Survival curves were compared between groups of patients using the log-rank test. Hazard risk (HR) to death was estimated with multivariable Cox model.

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      Out of 163 patients in the cohort, a total of 116 were evaluated, with a median of follow-up of 29.2 m and 59 deaths reported. Characteristics at diagnosis were a median age of 58 years, 50% female, 58.6% never-smokers, 54.3% with comorbidities, PS by ECOG 0-1 93.1%. CNS metastases (median number of lesions 6) were present in 43.1% of patients and 34% of patients with CNS metastases were treated with local therapy (11.8 % local radiotherapy and 76.5% holocraneal radiotherapy). ALK inhibitors as first line and second line treatment were administered to 45.5% and 78.6% of patients, respectively. The median OS was 39 months; OS in patients with CNS metastases at diagnosis was 34.4 m and 39.0 m in those without CNS metastases at diagnosis (p=.9). In patients without CNS metastases at baseline (n=60), 22 developed CNS, with a median OS greater than in those without CNS metastases during follow-up, although the difference is not significant (45.5 m vs 33.3 m; p=.9). There were 81 patients who presented with metastases in more than one organ and 33 patients with metastases in a single organ. The risk of death increased as the number of metastatic organs at diagnoses increased (HR=1.26, p=.0305), with worse OS in those presenting with liver metastases at diagnoses (21.1%, OS: 20 m), compared to those without tumor involvement (OS: 45.4 m; p =.008).

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      OS was similar for ALK-positive NSCLC patients with and without CNS metastases at diagnoses. OS was worse as the number of metastatic organs at diagnosis increased, with liver metastases being associated with the highest risk of mortality.

      81P - Higher PD-L1 expression correlates with lymphocyte infiltration in early non-small cell lung cancer (ID 396)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): Edurne Arriola Aperribay

      Background

      Patients with advanced NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer) benefit from ICIs (immune checkpoint inhibitors) as part of their treatment strategy. This benefit might also be observed in earlier stages. The aim of our work was to characterize the immune contexture of early NSCLC and assess the impact on outcome of immune biomarkers.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) 1 mm cores from patients that underwent curative surgical treatment between 2006 and 2018 at Hospital del Mar (Barcelona, Spain), and did not received neoadjuvant therapy were included in a tissue microarray. PD-L1 expression as well as CD3, CD4, CD8, CD80 and CD103 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. We report the percentage of positive cells for each marker from all nucleated cells. We evaluated the association between clinicopathological and molecular characteristics and immune biomarkers (Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation) and their impact on survival outcomes (Cox regression).

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      Samples from 195 patients were included (Adenocarcinomas N = 130, Squamous cell carcinoma N = 61, Other histology N = 4). In our cohort, 74.9% of the cases were males, predominantly smokers (87.2%). Tumor size was less or equal than 40mm in 72.3% of the cases. Stage I, II, III and IV tumors represent 44.6%, 25.1% and 26.7% of all cases included in our study, respectively. PD-L1 expression was <1%, 1 - <50% and ³50%, in 46.7%, 29.2% and 24.1% of the cases respectively. PD-L1 expression was positively correlated with higher percentage of CD4 (rho=0.195), CD8 (rho=0.3272), CD80 (rho=0.2152) and CD103 (rho=0.4237) (all p-values<0.05). CD103 expression was positively correlated with CD80 expression (rho=0.514; p < 0.001). A higher percentage of lymphocytes measured by CD3 expression in tumor tissue was correlated with better overall survival (p = 0.045; HR = 0.98 (0.96-0.99)) when adjusted by TNM 8thedition stage and adjuvant chemotherapy. No correlations with clinicopathological features were observed.

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      Immune biomarker expression is highly heterogeneous in early NSCLC. Lymphocyte infiltration is associated with higher PD-L1 expression. Evaluation of immune biomarkers might better inform the choice of adjuvant treatment for NSCLC patients.
