      135P - EGFR & PD L1: An (im)perfect union (ID 566)

      • Abstract

      Background

      EGFR inhibitors are associated with durable responses in patients harboring EGFR mutations. Also, Immune checkpoint inhibitors are associated with higher response rates with increasing PDL1 levels. PDL1 positivity in EGFR mutant metastatic non small cell lung cancer(mNSCLC) is known to portend poor prognosis due to resistance to TKI. However, the data regarding the same is scarce. This study was done as a retrospective analysis of treated cases of EGFR mutant mNSCLC with PDL1 levels done on the archival biopsy (first biopsy) specimen, which was used for diagnosis.

      The study was conducted on 121 NSCLC patients who had previously been diagnosed with EGFR mutation by RT PCR method. PDL1 testing was carried out by SP 263 kit.

      The median age of presentation was 57 years, and 47% (n = 57) patients were aged 40-60 years. There were with 55 % males (n = 67), 86 % (n = 104) of all patients were non smokers. PDL1 was positive in 38.8 % (n = 47) patients, with 12.4 % (n = 15) patients having PDL1 ≥ 50%. PDL1 positivity was not significantly different among gender, smoking status or age or various EGFR mutations. Of all the patients, 15 patients did not take therapy. So survival analysis was possible only for 106 patients. Progression free survival (PFS) for PDL1 negative patients was 11 months (95% C.I. 8.6-13.6 months), while for PDL1 positive patients was 13 months (95% C.I. 6.3-19.6 months) p = 0.986 (not significant). The analysis also showed that PFS in patients with PDL1 positive with DEL 19 mutation was 15 months v/s7 months in L858R mutation(p = 0.09). In PDL1 negative patients, PFS was 12 months v/s 10 monthsin Del 19 v/s L858R mutation.

      The present study showed a higher PDL1 positivity rate in EGFR mutant patients than what is previously reported. Also, the median PFS was not stastically different in PDL1 negative vs PDL1 positive patients. This is in contradiction to data previously presented. However, it could also be due to the fact that most of our patients were non smokers and could also represnt a geographic variation in PDL1 expression. Further studies are warranted to clarify this data.
