EP1.01-13 - A Phase 2 Trial Assessing Osimertinib Activity Against Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis in EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer (Now Available) (ID 470)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) occurs in 10 % of EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (LA). Retrospective studies have suggeted a clinical benefit of osimertinib in treating LMC in patients with EGFR-mutant LA. We conducted a phase 2 prospective trial to demonstrate the clinical efficacy, activity, and LMC-specific mechanisms of resitance to osimertinib in EGFR-mutant LA patients.
Method
We performed gadalidium-enhanced brain MRIs at the time of enrollment, followed by scheduled brain imaging once every six weeks. Clinical neurological exams were performed every four weeks. Adverse Events (AEs) were assessed by NCI-CTCAE Ver. 4. Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and plasma was obtained on day 1 and 21 for all patients. The CSF osimertinib penetration rate was measured by liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) and compared to plasma osimertinib levels. Targeted droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was used to detect copy number changes of Met and the EGFR C797S mutation in patients CSF-DNA and plasma cell free (cf) DNA.
Result
We enrolled six pre EGFR-TKI treated EGFR mutant LA with LMC. We observed a LMC-specific progression free survival of 3.7 months and overall survival of 6.2 months or longer with osimertinib. Four and three of six patients showed neurological and radiological responses, respectively. No patients had any AEs greater than grade 3 and all patients continued osimertinib beyond PD. The osimertinib CSF penetration rate was 1.2±0.5%. Met copy number was normal in plasma, but increased in the CSF of 2/6 patients prior to progression. Met copy number was confirmed in 1/6 patients at the time of progression. An aquired EGFR C797S mutation was observed in 1/6 patients prior to progression.
Conclusion
Osimertinib 80 mg is efficacious in the treatment of LMC in EGFR mutated LA. CSF-specific MET copy number gain and EGFR C797S mutations arise prior to progression in EGFR-mutant LA patients treated with osimeritinib.

EP1.01-14 - The Scour Using Pretreatment NLR, Liver Metastasis, PD-L1 Status and PS as a Marker of Outcomes in Nivolumab-Treated Patients with Advanced NSCLC (Now Available) (ID 884)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
Although nivolumab showed the significantly longer overall survival (OS) compared with docetaxel for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on two phase III randomized controlled trials, programed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression alone is not yet an adequate biomarker in treating nivolumab for NSCLC patients. Furthermore, some prior analyses indicated the liver metastasis, performance status (PS) and pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the candidates of effect predictors. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the score combining pretreatment patients’ status as a predictive marker in NSCLC patients treated with nivolumab.
Method
ne hundred and twenty-eight patients treated with Nivolumab who could examine the PD-L1 status from December 2015 to July 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. This study was multicenter study conducted by the three respiratory medical centers in Japan. We collected clinical data including age, sex, smoking history, histological types, PS, NLR, existence of Liver metastasis and PD-L1 status. We made the predictive score (PS2-4: 3 points, >NLR 4: 1 point, Liver metastasis +: 1 point, PD-L1 0%: 1 point and over 50%: -1 point) from pretreatment patients’ characteristics and evaluate the score (over 4 points is high risk group, 2-3 points is mediate risk group, and under 1 point is low risk group) as a marker of outcomes. The data cut off was on 31th October 2017.
Result
Median age was 67 years old, 86 patients were male, 101 patients had smoking history, 99 patients were PS 0-1 and 29 patients were PS 2-4, 26 patients were squamous carcinoma, >NLR 4 were 48 patients, and 16 patients had liver metastasis, respectively. Furthermore, PD-L1 expression 0% were 62 patients, 1-49% were 42 patients, and over 50% were 24 patients.
Progression disease rate, median progression free survival (PFS) and median OS was 61.1%, 1.1 months, 2.4 months in high risk group; 60.6%, 1.4 months, 10.9 months in mediate risk group; and 36.4%, 4.6 months, 16.3 months in low risk group, respectively.
Conclusion
We could classify the three group which could predict an patients’ outcome according to the patients’ characteristics.

EP1.14-08 - Irreversible Severe Cardiotoxicities Except for QTc Interval Prolongation Associated with Osimertinib (Now Available) (ID 2255)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
QTc interval prolongation is a known and warning cardiotoxicity associated with Osimertinib. The final summary on the safety profile of Osimertinib (AstraZeneca plc) reports that severe cardiotoxicities except for QTc interval prolongation are 0.8 % (29/3578 patients) and alerts us to such adverse events. Here, we report irreversible severe cardiotoxicities associated with Osimertinib except for QTc interval prolongation.
Method
We reviewed the medical records of EGFR-mutated Non-Small Cell Lung cancer patients who were treated with Osimertinib at Osaka International Cancer Institute between March 2016 and January 2019. We checked cardiotoxicities associated with Osimertinib based on the medical records.
Result
We enrolled 123 patients treated with Osimertinib into this study. The median age was 69 (range: 33-86) years. Of 123 patients, 40 (32.5%) were male, all cases except one were adenocarcinoma, EGFR mutation profile was Ex. 19 del/ L858R/ de novo T790M/ others(G719S, L861Q); 62 (50.4%)/ 56 (45.5%)/ 3/ 2. Osimertinib treatment line was 1st line; 23 (18.7%), 2nd line; 30 (24.4%), 3rd line; 18 (14.6%), ≧4th line; 41 (33.3%), 11 pts; switching from other EGFR-TKI during 1st line. Severe cardiotoxicities (CTC-AE Gr.3≧) were observed in 5 pts (4.1%); acute myocardinal infarction (1), irreversible congestive heart failure due to systolic dysfunction (1), exacerbation of tricupid regurgitation (1), decreasing ejection fraction (EF) (2). QTc interval prolongation was observed only in one patient (Gr.1). Histopathological analysis of a myocardial biopsy from one patient with decreased EF (Gr.3) revealed inflammatory cells infiltration into cardiomyocytes. Intriguingly, afatinib switched from osimertinib overcame osimertinib induced cardiomyopathy in the patient.
Conclusion
We experienced severe cardiotoxicities associated with Osimertinib at a higher frequency (4.1%) than reported before. Considering some patients were forced to quit their chemotherapy due to severe cardiotoxicities. We should pay attention to not only QTc interval prolongation but also other cardiotoxicities in administrating Osimertinib in the clinical setting. Afatinib could be an alternative to Osimertinib for overcoming Osimertinib-induced cardiotoxicities.

P1.01-57 - Association of Initial PD-L1 Expression with T790M-Acquired Resistance in Advanced EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients (Now Available) (ID 716)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
The primary objective was to investigate the association between initial programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels and the frequency of T790M-acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase Inhibitor (TKI) in patients with advanced EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma.
Method
We examined patients with advanced EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma whose initial PD-L1 expression levels and T790M-acquired mutation status after EGFR-TKI failure (gefitinib, erlotinib or afatinib) could be evaluated. We retrospectively investigated the patients’ characteristics and survival, as well as the association between initial PD-L1 expression levels and frequency of T790M-acquired resistance
Result
Overall, 100 patients were enrolled. Nine (9%) patients had an initial PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of ≥50%, 19(19%) had PD-L1 TPS of 1%-49%, and 72 (72%) had PD-L1 TPS of <1%. T790M-acquired mutation (T790M+) was identified in 57 (57%) patients. Initial PD-L1 expression levels were not associated with the frequency of T790M-acquired mutations in patients (p=0.822). Positive PD-L1 expression (PD-L1+) was associated with lower OS compared with negative PD-L1 expression (PD-L1-) (median overall survival [OS], 40.3 vs 74.3 months, p=0.0053). Furthermore, T790M+ was associated with longer OS compared with T790M- in total and PD-L1- population (total: median OS, 74.3 vs 41.3 months, p=0.0154, PD-L1-: median OS, 82.0 vs 41.2 months, p=0.00412), but not in PD-L1+ population (median OS, 36.2 vs 46.2 months, p=0.792). Among 57 patients with T790M-aquired mutation, 49 received osimertinib treatment. The estimated median progression-free survival rate of osimertinib was 13.2 months in PD-L1- patients (n=37) and 6.9 months in PD-L1+ patients (n=12) (p=0.224).
Conclusion
There was no association between initial PD-L1 expression levels and the frequency of T790M-aquired mutations in patients. However, PD-L1+ expression levels in patients with treatment-naïve advanced EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma predicted poorer outcomes. Intriguingly, T790M-aquired mutations were related to longer OS in PD-L1- patients, but not in PD-L1+. Thus, for patients with T790M-acquired mutant and initial PD-L1 positive lung adenocarcinoma in whom the use of osimertinib is indicated, other treatment options should be considered without hesitation if the treatment effects are not as expected.

P1.01-77 - Impact of Oral Drugs on the Prognosis of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Nivolumab (ID 895)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
Nivolumab (Nivo) has shown promising effects in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as a second- or later-line treatment. However, some drugs are reported to influence the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). For example, steroids are related with worth prognosis treated with ICIs. On the other hands, opioids have direct and indirect effects on anti-tumor immunity. The aim of this study is to disclose the impact of oral drugs in patients harboring NSCLC treated with Nivo.
Method
In this study, data for 201 patients treated with Nivo during 17 December 2015 to 31 July 2016 at three respiratory medical centers in Japan were retrospectively reviewed. We collected clinical data including age, sex, smoking history, performance status (PS) score, body mass index (BMI), histological types, tumor proportion score (TPS) of program death-ligand1 (PD-L1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status, number of previous treatments, steroid use, opioid use, statin use, biguanide use and fibrates use at the time of Nivo treatment commencement. We investigated relationship between progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and drug use at the time of Nivo treatment. Patients were followed-up for disease status until October 2017.
Result
The median age at the time of administration Nivo was 68 years, 135 patients were male, 157 patients had smoking history, 152 patients had a PS score of 0–1, median BMI was 21.4kg/m2, 42 patients had squamous cell carcinoma, 24 patients had PD-L1 TPS 50 or over, 37 patients had positive EGFR mutation, 78 patients received 3 or more treatments before Nivo treatment, 23 patients received steroids, 33 patients received opioids, 12 patients received statin, 6 patients received biguanide and 2 patients received fibrates. In the multivariate analysis including above factors, steroid use was significantly associated with poor PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.17; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31–3.43; p = 0.003) and OS (HR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.18–3.58; p = 0.014). Moreover, opioid use was significantly associated with poor OS (HR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.11–3.08; p = 0.020).
Conclusion
Steroid use at baseline was significantly associated with worse PFS and OS. Furthermore, opioid use at baseline was significantly associated with worse OS.

P1.04-62 - Nomogram Based on Multivariable Regression Model Estimates the Overall Survival of Nivolumab for Previously Treated Advanced NSCLC (ID 2231)
09:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
Nivolumab (Nivo) has demonstrated with its efficacy against metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it has been also reported that Nivo does not show beneficial effects in approximately 80% of patients. The predictive ability of biomarkers still is yet unclear; thus identifying biomarkers which better predict overall survival (OS) of such patients treated with Nivo is crucial. In this study, we conducted multivariable cox regression analysis including biomarkers and clinical factors measured at the time of initiating treatment with Nivo to assess predictive ability of OS of patients. Results of the multivariable analysis were elucidated with a nomogram which estimates the OS of Nivo in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC.
Method
In this study, data for 201 patients treated with nivolumab during 17 December 2015 to 31 July 2016 at three respiratory medical centers in Japan were retrospectively reviewed. We collected clinical data at the time of nivolumab treatment commencement, and we evaluated two programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay systems (22C3 and 28-8).
Result
The median age at the time of administration nivolumab was 68 years, 135 patients were male, 157 patients had a smoking history, and 152 patients had a performance status (PS) score of 0–1. 39 patients had EGFR (37) or ALK (2) mutation positive. For 22C3 and 28-8, 36.3% and 36.8% of patients were negative, 17.4% and 14.4% had PD-L1 status of 1-49%, and 11.9% and 14.9% had PD-L1 status of ≥50%, 34.3% and 33.8% had PD-L1 status of missing, respectively. Kendall’s rank correlation coefficient between 22C3 and 28-8 was 0.8414. The median OS of all patients was 333 (95% confidence interval (CI): 116-520) days. In the multivariate analysis, PS score ≥2 (hazard ratio (HR): 2.23; 95%CI: 1.36-3.66 p<0.001), high LDH level at baseline (HR: 1.13 95%CI: 1.03-1.24; p=0.008, and progression disease (PD) of pre-treatment response (HR: 3.64 95%CI: 2.29-5.79 p<0.001) were significantly associated with poor OS. There was not significant distance between PD-L1 status and OS of Nivo. Based on these analyses, we created the nomogram to estimate the OS of Nivo in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC.
Conclusion
PS score ≥2, high LDH levels at baseline, and PD of pre-treatment response were predictive of poor OS of Nivo, moreover the nomogram might be useful to estimate the OS of Nivo in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. (UMIN-ID: UMIN000025908)

P1.04-77 - Efficacy of Anti-PD-1/L1 Therapy for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Preexisting Autoimmune Markers (ID 1001)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
Targeting therapies against the programmed cell death protein-1/ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) pathway has become a standard for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, most clinical trials have not evaluated its safety and efficacy in patients with autoimmune diseases or with preexisting autoantibodies. Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are a spectrum of autoantibodies that target various nuclear and cytoplasmic components of the cells. Rheumatoid factors (RFs) are antibodies (immunoglobulin M) that react with immunoglobulin G. They are usually used as serological markers for autoimmune diseases. Recently, the relationship between these antibodies and some types of cancers has been identified, suggesting that autoantibodies might be associated with carcinogenesis and represent a state of pre-autoimmunity. Preexisting autoantibodies have been reported to be a surrogate marker of the efficacy of immunotherapy, but the trend is different by reporting.
Method
To examine the effects of preexisting autoantibodies in anti-PD-1/L1 therapy, clinical data including ANAs and RF were reviewed retrospectively in patients with advanced NSCLC who received monotherapy with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor. Survival outcome was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and was compared between patient groups with the log-rank test.
Result
In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated 275 patients with advanced NSCLC who received nivolumab, pembrolizumab or atezolizumab monotherapy, at Osaka International Cancer Institute in Japan between December 2015 and December 2017. The median age was 68 (range 27 to 80 years). 199 were men. ANAs were analyzed in 176 of 275 (64%) patients, and RF were analyzed in 161(56%). 68 of 176 (38.6%) were positive for ANAs (more than 1:40 serum dilution) and 21 of 161(13%) were positive for RF (more than 15IU/ml). None of the patients had active symptoms of an autoimmune disease. The median Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) was significantly shorter in patients positive for RF, 1.9 (95%CI, 0.5-2.9) months, than in those without RF, 3.5 (95%CI, 2.0-4.3) months. No significant differences in Overall Survival (OS) (12.5 versus 19.8 months) were observed between patients with or without RF, but OS in patients positive for RF tended to be shorter. Although no significant differences in OS (21.1 versus 19.4 months) and TTF (3.6 versus 2.8 months) were observed between patients with or without preexisting ANAs, OS in patients strongly positive (more than 1:160 serum dilution) for ANAs tended to be shorter compared to mildly positive patients (1:40, 1:80 serum dilution) (22.2 versus 12.7 months).
Conclusion
The presence of preexisting RFs may be a factor for poor prognosis in NSCLC patients undergoing anti PD-1/L1 therapy. There was no significant difference between patients with and without ANAs, but high titer of ANAs may be a factor in poor OS.

P2.14-23 - Initial Analysis in NSCLC Part of Randomized Trial Evaluating Topical Corticosteroid for the Facial Acneiform Rash by EGFR Inhibitors (Now Available) (ID 551)
10:15 - 18:15 | Author(s): Motohiro Tamiya
- Abstract
Background
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors commonly induce skin toxicities including facial acneiform rash. The incidence of facial acneiform rash with any grade estimetes 60-90% in previous clinical trials. This FAEISS study, NCCH1512, is designed to evaluate the effects of reactive topical corticosteroid therapies with serially ranking down from very strong levels compared with that with serially ranking up from weak levels for facial acneiform rash induced by EGFR inhibitors.
Method
Patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and RAS wild-type colorectal cancer who started treatment with EGFR inhibitors were enrolled first in this study (first-phase). All patients received pre-emptive therapy of oral minocycline 100 mg/day and heparinoid moisturizer from the initiation of EGFR inhibitors. Enrolled patients who developed facial acneiform rash within two weeks were randomised either to group A (ranking-up) and group B (ranking-down) (second-phase) by minimization method for balancing institution, type of EGFR inhibitors, and sex. Primary endpoint in this study was incidence of grade 2 (moderate) or higher facial acneiform rash during the 10-week skin treatment period. Here, we present the initial analysis in NSCLC patients who received EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors of afatinib and erlotinib. This study was registered with UMIN-CTR as UMIN000024113 (www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/).
Result
From November 2016 to August 2018, 51 NSCLC patients treated with afatinib (n=30) and erlotinib (n=21) were enrolled in first-phase. Thirty four patients were female and 17 were male, with a median age of 66 years (range 39-79). Thirty five patients (68.6%) didn’t develop facial acneiform rash within two weeks. While facial acneiform rash occurred in 16 patients (grade 1 [n=14, 27.4%] and grade 2 [n=2, 3.9%]). No patients developed severe facial acneiform rash (grade 3 or higher). Nine (30.0%) patients who received afatinib and seven (33.3%) who received erlotinib developed facial acneiform rash within two weeks. One patient treated with erlotinib was excluded due to hepatotoxicity by minocycline and 15 (29.4%) were assigned to second-phase (9 in group A and 6 in group B). Skin adverse events in second-phase (n=15) were non-facial acneiform rash (n=14), pruritus (n=8), paronychia (n=5), and dry skin (n=3). Major non-skin adverse events related to EGFR inhibitors were diarrhea (grade 3 [n=2]), ALT increased (grade 2 [n=2]), stomatitis (grade 3 [n=1]), and pneumonitis (grade 1 [n=1]).
Conclusion
In NSCLC patients who received EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, pre-emptive therapy of oral minocycline and heparinoid moisturizer could be effective for prevention of facial acneiform rash.
