      Background

      Patients with suboptimal pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are often denied surgery for NSCLC. However, there is no consensus definition of compromised lung function. This study compared morbidity and survival following surgery in patients with preoperative %predicted FEV1or DLCO <50% (Low-Group) versus those with both values >50%(High-Group).

      Method

      A prospectively-maintained database was reviewed for patients undergoing surgery for NSCLC between 1990–2019. Propensity matching (1:2) was performed based on age, gender, histology, pathologic stage, and comorbidity index. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariable analysis identified predictors of survival.

      Result

      Among 2982 patients with PFT data, 372(12.5%) had FEV1or DLCO <50%. We matched 321 patients with FEV1or DLCO <50% to 637 patients with both PFTs >50%. No significant differences were observed in perioperative complications(Table) or 30-day mortality between Low and High groups (0.3% vs. 0.6%, p=0.668). The Low group more frequently underwent sublobar resection (41% vs. 22%, p<0.001). Median follow-up was 41 months, and median, 3-, and 5-year OS for the Low and High groups was 118 vs.148 months, 79% vs. 82%, and 70% vs. 74%, respectively (p=0.003). Patients with both FEV1and DLCO <50% (n=44) had a median survival of 109 months and 3- and 5-year OS of 77% and 71%. Multivariable analysis identified advanced age (HR=1.03, CI 1.01–1.05), higher clinical stage (HR=1.85, CI 1.22–2.82), and earlier year of surgery (HR=1.06, CI 1.01–1.12) as predictors of poor survival, but not FEV1or DLCO <50% (p=0.672). Among the Low group only, advanced age (HR=1.05, CI 1.02–1.07) and sublobar resection (HR=1.60, CI 1.04–2.45) predicted worse OS.

      Conclusion

      Patients with decreased lung function have comparable perioperative outcomes to patients with normal lung function and experience excellent long-term survival. “Medical inoperability” should therefore be determined by surgeons and not by pulmonary function alone.

      P1.12-02 - Nationwide Assessment of the Role of Adjuvant Systemic Therapy in High-Risk Lung Carcinoids (Now Available) (ID 2745)

      09:45 - 18:00  |  Presenting Author(s): Brendon M Stiles

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      Carcinoid tumors are often considered indolent tumors. However, a subset of patients develop recurrence after resection, and some even develop disseminated disease. To date, little data exists regarding the role of adjuvant therapy in high-risk carcinoid patients. We sought to assess whether adjuvant systemic therapy provides survival benefit for patients with these tumors.

      Method

      The National Cancer Database was queried for patients undergoing resection for carcinoids (2004–2014). Adjusted mortality hazard ratios (aHR) (adjusted for age, gender and stage) were estimated for typical vs. atypical carcinoids and also for node negative vs. node positive atypical carcinoids. Patients with node positive atypical carcinoids were divided into two groups; adjuvant chemotherapy vs. no adjuvant chemotherapy. Balance between the two groups was obtained by propensity matching (controlling for age, gender, comorbidity, pStage, and number of positive nodes).

      Result

      21820 patients had carcinoid tumors (19560 typical, and 2260 atypical). Carcinoids had a lower mortality (aHR 0.35, CI:0.31-0.39) compared to adenocarcinoma (reference) and squamous cell carcinoma (aHR 1.17, CI:1.14-1.20). Among patients with carcinoid tumors, atypical carcinoids had higher mortality compared to typical carcinoids (aHR 2.16 CI:1.55-3). Among atypical carcinoids only, those with node positive disease had worse survival (aHR 2.42 CI:1.63-3.58). Patients with atypical carcinoids who had lymph node positive disease were propensity matched (1:1, caliper 0.1, n=250) to those who received adjuvant chemotherapy and those who had no adjuvant therapy (Table). There was no difference in 5-year survival between the two groups (67% vs 62%, P=0.67).

      Conclusion

      Patients with node positive, atypical carcinoid tumors, have a significantly reduced survival compared to other carcinoid patients. However, adjuvant therapy did not confer an improvement in outcome. Novel adjuvant treatments are required for these higher risk patients.

      P2.04-92 - Neoadjuvant Durvalumab With or Without Sub-Ablative Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SBRT) in Patients with Resectable NSCLC (NCT02904954) (ID 2945)

      10:15 - 18:15  |  Author(s): Brendon M Stiles

      • Abstract

      Background

      Preclinical evidence suggests that sub-ablative doses of radiation may have immunomodulating properties and may result in potent local and systemic anti-tumor immune-responses when combined with immune checkpoint-inhibitors (ICIs). Here we report the preliminary results of an ongoing phase-II trial of neoadjuvant therapy (NT) with Durvalumab alone or SBRT+Durvalumab followed by adjuvant Durvalumab for 12-months.

      Method

      Eligible patients were randomized to 2-cycles of Durvalumab (Arm-1) or 3 consecutive doses of SBRT(8GX3) plus 2-cycles of Durvalumab (Arm-2). Surgery was planned 1-2 weeks after last cycle of Durvalumab. Primary endpoint was DFS for both arms versus historical controls. Secondary endpoints were safety and efficacy determined by clinical/pathological response rates. We compared tumor immunephenotype (IP) in pre- and post-treatment samples by XCell deconvolution of RNAseq transcriptomic data.

      Result

      34 patients were randomized (1/1/17-1/11/19,). Patients in Arm-2 were more frequently ever-smokers and had more PD-L1+ve tumors (Table). All patients completed NT. Grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 4 patients after NT (3 in Arm-1, 1 in Arm-2). One patient (Arm-1) died preoperatively from an unrelated stroke. 32 patients were surgically explored and 30 resected (28R-0:87%). There were no perioperative deaths. Grade 3/4 perioperative AEs occurred in 10/32 patients (31%). In Arm-2, 8/17 (47%) patients had a major pathologic response (MPR: £10% residual tumor) compared to none in Arm-1. Excluding 4 patients with EGFR mutations, MPR occurred in 8/13(61.5%) patients in Arm-2. Relative to Durvalumab alone, SBRT+Durvalumab was associated higher abundance of dendritic cells, myeloid cells and fibroblasts. In Arm-2, tumors with MPR had a higher immunoscore and greater abundance of dendritic cells and higher HLA gene expression.

      Conclusion

      In this randomized-trial, neoadjuvant Durvalumab with or without SBRT was well tolerated. The rates of MPR after SBRT+Durvalumab are promising and suggest that sub-ablative doses of radiation may significantly enhance local immune response.

      P2.18-06 - Trends and Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Approaches for Lung Cancer Resection After Induction Therapy in the United States (Now Available) (ID 2793)

      10:15 - 18:15  |  Presenting Author(s): Brendon M Stiles

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      Lung resection following induction-therapy (IT) is technically challenging. To date, a paucity of national data exists on the feasibility of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches in this setting. We assessed national trends and outcomes associated with MIS following IT, compared to open approach.

      Method

      The National Cancer Database was queried for NSCLC patients undergoing resection following IT (2010-2016). Trends in MIS utilization were assessed using Mantel-Haenszel test. Propensity-matching (MIS vs. open) was performed (1:1-Caliper 0.2), controlling for age, gender, comorbidity, clinical stage, and histology. Perioperative outcomes and survival were compared between the matched groups.

      Result

      Lung resection following IT was performed in 11287 patients. The utilization of MIS approaches increased from 19% in 2010 to 41% in 2016 (Mantel-Haenszel, P<0.001). The number of hospitals performing at least one MIS increased from 166 in 2010 to 305 in 2016. Compared to the traditional open approach, MIS approaches were used more frequently in patients with higher annual-income (>$63000, 37%vs.33%,P<0.001), and in patients treated in academic hospitals (54%vs.47%,P<0.001). The open approach was used more in males (54%vs.49%, P<0001), and in patients with larger tumor size (4.4cm vs. 3.8cm, P<0.001)(Table).

      In propensity-matched groups, there were no differences in 30-day readmission (3% vs. 4%,P=0.513), or 30-/90-day mortality between the two approaches (3%vs.4%,P=0.145; 6%vs.7%,P=0.685). However, MIS was associated with a shorter median length of stay (5vs.6 days,P<0.001). 5-year overall survival (OS) was slightly better in the open group (45% vs.39%,P=0.002). However, on multivariable analysis, surgical approach was not associated with OS (open approach: HR:0.99, 95%CI:0.91-1.09).

      Conclusion

      National use of minimally-invasive surgery following induction therapy increased significantly over the study period. The current study shows that using MIS after induction therapy is feasible and safe, and is associated with a shorter hospital stay compared to open approach, yet without compromising perioperative outcomes or survival.
