Background
Anti-PD1/PDL1 deeply changed the NSCLC therapeutic algorithm in the past few years. Unfortunately, a majority of patients experiences disease progression. ICPis re-challenge could be an attractive option but no data supporting this strategy are available. Here we report outcomes of a large cohort of NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD1/PDL1 re-challenge.
Method
We retrospectively collected data about 144 advanced NSCLC patients (diagnosis between 2010 and 2018) from 26 French centers. Patients were re-challenged with ICPis after at least 12 weeks of discontinuation for toxicity, disease progression or clinical decision. Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) were calculated from the start of first or second ICPi to disease progression (PFS1;PFSR) and death or last follow-up (OS1;OS2) respectively.
Result
Median age was 63 year [39 –83], most of patients were male (67%), smokers (87%), adenocarcinomas (62%) and stage IV at diagnosis (66%). Most of patients received the first ICPi round in first or second line (66%) and the second ICPi round in third line or later (79%). In both settings patients received preferentially an anti-PD1 (87%) and no differences were detected regarding brain metastasis or ECOG PS (P = 1.10-1 and P = 1.10-1 respectively). The Best Response during the re-challenge was not associated to that one achieved to the first ICPi (P = 1.10-1). The median PFS1 and PFSR were 13 months [95% CI 10-16.5] and 4.4 months [95% CI 3-6.5] respectively. PFSR was longer in patients discontinued because of clinical decision (6.5 months [95% CI 2.5-11.9]) or toxicity (5.8 months [95%CI 3.5-18]) compared to disease progression (2.9 months [95% CI 2.0-4.4]) (P = 2.10-2) and in those not receiving chemotherapy between the two ICPis (5.8 months [95%CI 4.1-10.5]) compared to those who did (3.0 months [95% CI 2.0-4.4])(P = 2.10-3). Median OS1 was 3.3 years [95% CI 2.9-3.9] without differences according to the discontinuation reason (P =2.10-1). Median OS2 was 1.5 y [95%CI 1.0-2.1] and was longer in patients discontinuing the first ICPi due to toxicity (2.1y [95%CI 1.4-NR]) compared to disease progression (1.0y [95%CI 0.4-1.5]) or clinical decision (1.5y [95%CI 0.4-NR]) (P = 3.10-2). Neither OS1 nor OS2 were affected by treatments received between the two ICPis (P = 3.10-1 and P = 1.10-1 respectively).
Conclusion
ICPis re-challenge might be a useful option mainly in patients discontinuing the first ICPi because of toxicity or clinical decision and in those able to keep a treatment-free period between the two ICPis.

MA21.07 - Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis Depicts Potential Mechanisms of Resistance to BRAF-Targeted Therapies in BRAF+ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Now Available) (ID 1365)
14:30 - 16:00 | Author(s): Etienne Giroux Leprieur
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Oncogenic BRAF-V600 mutations are observed in 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Targeted therapies including vemurafenib (V), dabrafenib (D) or combination of dabrafenib plus trametinib (D+T) are associated with favorable outcomes in these patients (pts). The mechanisms of resistance to BRAF-targeted therapies (BRAF-TT) in NSCLC are largely unknown.
Method
We performed genomic profiling of serial circulating-tumor DNA (ctDNA) in a cohort of 79 metastatic BRAF-mutant NSCLC pts (96% V600E, 4% non-V600). BRAFmutational status was ascertained based on local testing. Plasma samples were collected, from 2014-2018 in 27 Hospitals, from pts treated with V (n=34), D (n=2) or D+T (n=23). We collected 41 plasma samples at baseline to BRAF-TT, 40 at progressive disease (PD) and ~200 samples during treatment follow-up, concomitant to routine radiological evaluation. Inivata InVisionSeq™ assay was used to detect the presence of SNVs, indels and CNAs in 36-cancer related genes.
Result
At baseline, 72,5% of BRAF mutations (V600E and non-V600E) were detected in plasma. BRAF-V600E detection in plasma was associated with the presence of liver metastasis, versus BRAF-V600E-negative cases (22% vs. 7%, respectively). Co-occurring molecular alterations at baseline, besides BRAF-V600E, were observed in 18/26 (70%) cases: FGFR2 (1pt), PIK3CA (2pts), ERBB2 (1pt), CTNNB1 (2pts) and IDH1 (2pts). FGFR2, PIK3CA or CTNNB1 alterations were associated with PD as the best response to the subsequent BRAF-TT. TP53 and STK11 mutations were observed in 54% (14/26) and 8% (2/26) of pts, respectively. Complete clearance of BRAF-V600E in plasma at baseline was observed at the first CT-scan evaluation in 42% (3/7) and 82% (9/11) pts treated with V or D+T, respectively. These pts were in complete or partial response, suggesting that monitoring BRAF-V600E levels in plasma on treatment may be a clinically useful marker of tumor response. At PD, a consistent rebound in BRAF-V600E plasma levels was observed in 60% (24/40) pts. Resistance to V was associated with alterations in the MAPK pathway: 1pt (KRAS), 1pt (GNA11), 1pt (NRAS and GNAS) and 1pt (MAP2K1 and NFE2L2). Activating PI3KCA mutations were observed in 4 pts who progressed in <6 months on V treatment. ctDNA analyses at PD under D+T revealed that, similar to what we observed in patients who progressed on V, alterations in KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA and CTNNB1 are associated with D+T resistance. Prediction of the impact of these alterations, at the protein level, was assessed using in silico structure modeling and will be presented.
Conclusion
ctDNA monitoring might be an informative tool for assessing disease response and resistance in NSCLC pts treated with BRAF-TT. MAPK reactivation remains an important resistance mechanism to BRAFi-monotherapy or to BRAFi and MEKi combination therapy.
