      147P - Impact on KRAS-subtypes and TP53 mutations on the prognostic value of KRAS/KEAP1 comutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 493)

      Background

      Recent studies suggest a devastating impact of KEAP1 mutations on survival in systemically treated advanced NSCLC for both KRAS-comutated and KRAS-wildtype patients. KRAS G12C mutations differ in their co-mutational properties from other KRAS mutations, and TP53 mutations affect the outcome in a subset of NSCLC like ALK-positive NSCLC. We set out this analysis to determine the impact of both KRAS G12C and co-occurring TP53 mutations on the prognostic value of KRAS/KEAP1 comutations.

      We pooled the data from three different analyses between 2013 and 2018 and looked for patients with stage IV NSCLC for whom survival data was available and who received systemic therapy. The patients had to be diagnosed by a comprehensive next-generation sequencing panel, comprising at least KRAS, KEAP1and TP53 mutations. Median overall survival (mOS) was assessed using Kaplan Meier statistics.

      We identified 35 patients with KRAS/KEAP1 comutation and available survival data. G12C was detected in 22 patients (62.9%). A co-occurring TP53 mutation could be found in 15 patients (42.9%), and 11 patients (31.4%) presented with both aberrations beside a KEAP1 mutation. 15 patients (42.9%) had neither comutation. The mOS for the whole cohort was 9.8 months (95% CI, 6.3-13.3 months). Neither the presence of a G12C mutation (mOS 9.8 months [5.7-13.4], log rank p = 0.724) nor the presence of a co-occurring TP53 mutation (mOS 9.0 months [5.8-12.2], log rank p = 0.407) had a significant influence on the outcome. For G12C/TP53 beside KEAP1 mutations, there was hardly any difference to the comparison cohort (mOS 9.8 months [5.4-14.2], log rank p = 0.998). Patients without G12C and TP53 had an mOS of 10.4 months (3.6-17.2 months, log rank p = 0.467).

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      The comutation status of TP53 mutations and/or the presence of the KRAS G12C subtype have no impact on the prognostic value of KRAS/KEAP1-mutated stage IV NSCLC. Further investigations are ongoing to reveal the influence of the mode of systemic therapy in larger cohorts to confirm these findings.

      184TiP - FIND: A phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of erdafitinib in FGFR-altered squamous NSCLC (ID 571)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): Rieke Nila Fischer

      • Abstract

      Background

      Genomic FGFR alterations and their oncogenic driver potential are frequently observed in various cancers. Initial clinical trials with selective FGFR inhibitors showed moderate responses in FGFR amplified squamous NSCLC (sqNSCLC) patients. However, in FGFR mutated or translocated tumor types a response rate of above 30% was observed. Preclinical cell line and patient-derived sqNSCLC xenograft models with FGFR mutations or translocations indicate strong oncogenic activity and potential sensitivity to FGFR inhibitors. Approximately 3% of all sqNSCLC patients harbor somatic alterations within FGFR genes. However, only some of these mutations are shown to be oncogenic drivers in vitro and in vivo experiments or first in man trials.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Trial design

      Screening for FGFR mutations/translocations will be performed within the national Network of Genomic Medicine in 15 screening centers in Germany. SqNSCLC patients with activating FGFR genetic alterations will be treated in 11 clinical centers in Germany with the selective FGFR1-4 kinase inhibitor erdafitinib. Archival samples, fresh frozen tumor samples and blood for circulating tumor DNA will be collected before treatment and at time of progression. Patients will be treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary objective of the trial is to analyze the efficacy of erdafitinib in sqNSCLC patients with FGFR genetic driver alterations. Patients will be recruited into 3 cohorts: Cohort 1: high confidence activating FGFR translocations (max. 15 patients); Cohort 2: high confidence activating FGFR mutations (max. 15 patients); Cohort 3: low confidence activating FGFR alteration (ca. 20 patients). The study has been currently submitted by authorities and is currently targeted to start recruitment in Q1/2019.
