      142P - Clinical management of advanced lung adenocarcinoma with ALK rearrangement: Real-world treatment outcomes and long-term survival (ID 546)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): Jun Lu

      • Abstract

      Background

      Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKIs) have been demonstrated to be effective in ALK-rearranged, advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients. However, data from a real-world setting is very limited. The aim of the study was to: a) determine long-term survival in these patients and investigate factors associated with their prognosis; and b) analyze the clinical outcomes of patients who were sequentially treated with next-generation ALK-TKIs.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      ALK-rearranged, advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients who were treated with crizotinib were included between January 2013 and December 2016. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The hazard ratio (HR) for the risk of progression or death was calculated using multivariate Cox regression model.

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      A total of 5286 patients were screened and 176 eligible patients were included. Median PFS and OS were 12.4 months (95% CI, 10.3-14.6 months) and 45.6 months (95% CI, 37.6-53.7 months), respectively. 36.3% of patients were 5-year survivors. Extrathoracic metastasis before crizotinib treatment was independently associated with worse PFS (HR, 1.77, 95% CI, 1.24-2.53, P < 0.01) and OS (HR, 1.61, 95% CI, 1.02-2.54, P = 0.04). 45 patients were sequentially treated with newer-generation ALK-TKIs, obtaining a statistically longer OS (54.8 months, 95% CI, not calculable) than patients who were solely treated with crizotinib during clinical management (36.6 months, 95% CI, 29.2-43.9 months, P < 0.01).

      Our study provides useful information about ALK-rearranged, advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with ALK-TKIs in a real-world setting.

      117O - Racial disparities in characteristics and prognosis in Asian versus white patients receiving atezolizumab: An ancillary analysis of POPLAR and OAK studies (ID 339)

      Background

      Racial differences in characteristics and prognosis of Asiatic and White patients receiving immunotherapy have not been well described.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      We studied 390 patients from the POPLAR and OAK studies who received atezolizumab with evaluable biomarker parameters retrieved from a subsequent blood-based study. The differences of Asians versus Whites in baseline characteristics, outcomes and genetic mutations of atezolizumab therapy were assessed.

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      Asiatic and White patients differed in characteristics including smoking history, baseline sum of the longest diameters (BLSLD), EGFR mutation frequency, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and blood-based tumor mutational burden (bTMB) level. Overall survival (OS) was longer in Asians compared with Whites before (median OS: 18.7 vs. 11.1 mo; P = 0.005) and after (median OS: 20.9 vs. 12.6 mo; P = 0.005) propensity score matching (PSM). Race was an independent prognostic factor for OS (Asian vs White: HR 0.647, 95% CI 0.447-0.936, P = 0.021) in addition to performance status (PS), histology, BLSLD, and number of metastatic sites. The objective response rate (ORR) for Asians and Whites was 8.2% and 17.1%, respectively and disease control rate (DCR) was 51.2% and 47.7%, respectively. The blood-based mutational landscape differentiated between Asians and Whites. In the overall population, mutations of STK11, EGFR, KEAP1, POLE, GRM3, ATM and STAG2 were associated with treatment response while mutations of TP53, KEAP1, APC, RB1, CREBBP, EPHA5 and STAG2 were associated with OS. Comparing the frequency of efficacy- or prognosis- related mutations, Asians had more EGFR mutations and less TP53 and STK11 mutations than Whites.

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      Asians and Whites differed in the clinicopathological features and mutational landscape which may explain the superior efficacy of atezolizumab in Asiatic patients with NSCLC. This study conveys implications for further studies on racial disparity in the treatment of immunotherapy.
