      Introduction

      Although definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is considered standard of care for most stage III NSCLC patients, neoadjuvant-CRT (N-CRT) followed by surgery is an accepted practice with a potential survival benefit. Regarding synergistic effects of combining PD-1/PD-L1 blockade to CRT, we designed a two-stage phase Ib trial (ACTS-30) which assesses the safety and feasibility of the combination of N-CRT with durvalumab (PD-L1 inhibitor) in potentially resectable stage III NSCLC (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03694236).

      Methods

      Patients with histologically confirmed, potentially resectable stage III NSCLC were eligible. N-CRT comprised intravenous weekly paclitaxel 45 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 2 with radiotherapy of 45 Gy in 25 fractions and durvalumab (Day 1 and 29, 1500mg) during 5 weeks and patients who completed N-CRT subsequently underwent surgery. After surgery, one year of adjuvant durvalumab was planned (every 4 weeks, 1500 mg). The primary objective was to determine the safety and tolerability of N-CRT + durvalumab regimen. The trial was composed of two-stages and the first stage included 9 patients and the trial was planned to proceed to the second stage (n = 21) if treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) grade≥3 occurred in less than 50% of patients. The secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), R0 resection rate, event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), clinical or pathological downstaging rate, pathologic complete response (pCR) rate, and major pathologic response (MPR) rate. The exploratory analyses including immune marker assessment by FACS, whole-exome sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, and multispectral immunohistochemical staining using the specimen of pre-treatment, after surgery, and after recurrence will be performed.

      Results

      At the data cut-off (25th-Feb-2020), a total of 14 patients were enrolled. The median age was 66; 50% were male, and 50% were adenocarcinoma histology including two EGFR mutations. Since there was only one grade 3 TRAE (i.e., neutropenia) during the first stage, the trial entered the second stage. Overall, the grade 3 or more rate of TRAE was 7% (1/14). Currently, 11 patients underwent surgery (R0 resection) while one patient experienced cardiac pacemaker infection grade 3 (not considered as TRAE) and was not able to undergo surgical resection and two others are awaiting surgery. There was no postoperative in-hospital mortality. Among eleven resected patients, the pCR rate and MPR rate were 36.4% (3/11) and 72.7% (8/11), respectively. When excluding two EGFR mutant, the MPR rate was 88.9% (8/9).

      Conclusion

      These early data suggested that the N-CRT regimen with immunotherapy in stage III NSCLC was safe and feasible and had the potential to provide clinical benefit. The trial is ongoing and the final results and the biomarker analyses will be provided in the future congress and scientific journal.

      P89.08 - Real-World Impact of Plasma Cell-Free DNA Next-Generation Sequencing to Detect Actionable Genomic Alterations in Advanced NSCLC (ID 1970)

      Introduction

      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of plasma cell-free circulating tumor DNA (cfDNA) enables noninvasive comprehensive genomic analysis. The ability of cfDNA NGS to detect actionable genomic biomarkers in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been reported, but there are limited data on real-world usage. Here we prospectively collected the real-world cfDNA NGS data of treatment naive patients and also patients after progression to chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKI) with negative tissue results for conventional tesing which we easily encounter in clinical practice.

      Methods

      We analyzed data from advanced NSCLC patients who underwent cfDNA NGS (Guardant360; Guardant Health, Inc.) between December 2018 and January 2020 in the clinical practice. Information regarding patient and disease characteristics, treatment decisions, and clinical outcomes were collected. Genomic alterations were considered actionable if they were included in the Onco-KB precision oncology knowledge database and classified in one of four levels of actionability based on the preclinical or clinical evidence.

      Results

      Among 405 patients, 35.1% were female; 81.2% had adenocarcinoma (LuAd). At the time of plasma collection for NGS, 143 patients (35.3 %) were treatment-naïve, 177 patients (43.7%) had progressed after chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy, and 61 patients (15.1%) had progressed after tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Tumor DNA was detectable in 356 plasma samples (87.9 %). Regarding LuAd potentially actionable level 1-4 genomic alterations were detected in 177 cases (53.6%), of which 82 patients (24.9%) had level 1-2 alterations. Twelve patients who had started treatment based on tissue data had their treatment changed due to cfDNA NGS results. At the time of data cut-off, one of these patients had a partial response, 6 had stable disease, and 5 were not yet evaluated.

      Conclusion

      Real-world cfDNA testing identified actionable genomic alterations in NSCLC not only when tissues were unavailable but also when conventional testing failed to detect actionable biomarkers. This study demonstrated that gene profiling of NSCLC using comprehensive cfDNA NGS can be a more efficient and faster strategy for deciding the therapeutic options at initial diagnosis and after progression.
