Background
Most SCLC patients initially respond to chemotherapy but then relapse and die so new therapies are urgently required. Pre-clinical data shows statins induce growth arrest and apoptosis in SCLC and several other tumour cell types and are additive with chemotherapy. This may in part be due to impaired Ras superfamily function as statins deplete mevalonate, reducing geranylgeranylation and farnesylation of these proteins. We therefore undertook this large pragmatic phase III trial in SCLC patients to determine if overall survival (OS) was affected by the addition of pravastatin to standard treatment. Methods
Patients with limited (LD) or extensive (ED) stage SCLC were randomised to pravastatin 40mg OD or placebo for up to 2 years and given standard chemotherapy according to local practice but recommended as either cisplatin 60mg/m2 iv or carboplatin AUC 5 or 6 and etoposide 120 mg/m2iv d1 to 3 or 100 mg BD po d2 & 3; max 6 cycles plus radiotherapy as usually given. Patients were excluded if they had used statins within 12 months prior to randomisation. Stratification was: LD vs ED and ECOG 0,1 vs 2,3. Endpoints were: primary - OS; secondary - progression free survival (PFS), local PFS (local control), response rates (RR) and toxicity.Results
Between 2007 and 2012, 846 patients were randomised, 422 (49.9.%) received pravastatin and 424 (50.1%) placebo in 93 participating sites in the UK. The median age was 64 years (range 54-69); ECOG performance status: 0: 23%; 1: 54%; 2: 17% and 3: 6%; weight 72.6 kg; LD, 357 (42.2%); ED, 479 (56.6%); 211 (24.9%) had ipsilateral effusion and 201 (23.8%) had ipsilateral SCF lymph nodes; Relative Dose intensity of cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide was 91.6% (range 80.8 to 99.7), and 94.7% (range 85.7 to 100); 83.4% vs 86.3% completed >4 cycles of chemotherapy on the pravastatin and placebo arms respectively. Most patients completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy: 263 (62.3%) vs 265 (62.5%) in the pravastatin vs. placebo groups. Unblinded results showing the effect of pravastatin on OS, PFS, local PFS and toxicity will be presented.Conclusion
This trial will report on whether pravastatin 40 mg OD added to standard therapy alters the outcome for SCLC patients.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
IP showed superior survival outcomes compared with EP in Japanese patients. However, IP failed to show the superiority in subsequent studies in Western population. We conducted a multi-center randomized controlled trial to determine whether IP regimen is superior to EP regimen in Korean patients (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00349492)Methods
Patients were randomly assigned (simple randomization, stratified by ECOG performance status and center) to IP (irinotecan 65 mg/m2 IV on D1&8 plus cisplatin 70 mg/m2 IV on D1, every 3 weeks) or EP (etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV on D1-3 plus cisplatin 70 mg/m2 IV on D1, every 3 weeks) for maximum 6 cycles, until disease progression, or until unacceptable toxicity occurred. The primary objective was to compare overall survival (OS).Results
A total of 362 patients were randomized to IP (N=173) and EP (N=189) arms. Median OS was 10.9 and 10.3 months (m) for IP and EP, respectively (hazard ratio for death in the IP group, 0.879; 95% one-sided confidence interval, 0 to 1.054; P=0.1207). Objective response rate was higher with IP than with EP (62.4%, 48.2%, P=0.0064), however, there was no significant difference in median progression free survival between IP and EP (6.5 and 5.8 m, P=0.1158). In the pre-planned subgroup analyses, IP was associated with longer OS than with EP in male (11.3 vs 10.1 m, P=0.0361), <65 years old (12.7 vs 11.3 m, P=0.0240), ECOG performance status 0/1 (12.4 vs 10.9 m, P=0.0407) patients group. Grade 3/4 anemia, nausea and diarrhea were more frequent in patients treated with IP. There was no difference in the frequency of grade 3/4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenic fever, infection between both arms.Conclusion
IP failed to show superiority in overall survival compared to EP in Korean patients with ED SCLC. However, prolongation of OS was observed with IP in pre-defined subgroup of patients with male gender, young age, or good performance status.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Background: NTX-010 is a naturally occurring replication-competent picornavirus with potent and selective tropism for SCLC tumor cells expressing neuroendocrine markers. A phase I study of NTX-010 showed evidence of antitumor activity in patients with SCLC.Methods
Methods: ES-SCLC patients (pts) with SD, PR or CR after at least 4 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy were pre-registered to confirm diagnosis of SCLC with > 1 neuroendocrine marker by a central pathology review. Eligible pts were.randomized 1:1 to placebo (B) or NTX-010 (A). NTX-010 or placebo was administered intravenously as a 1-hour infusion in 100 mL normal saline as a single dose of 1 x10[11]vp/kg. Viral studies to determine distribution, clearance of the virus and the presence of neutralizing antibodies were done. The primary goal of this trial was to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of arm A to B based on a sample size of 45 patients per arm to detect an improvement in median PFS from 3 to 5 months (m). A pre-planned interim futility analysis was done after 40 PFS events, and reported here.Results
Results: The trial is permanently closed to accrual. One-hundred and twenty pts were pre-registered, of whom 58 were randomized. Baseline age, gender, ECOG performance status, and histology were balanced between arms. Median age was 63 (range: 44 - 82). 31% of pts had a PS of 0 and 69% of 1. Grade 4 adverse events were seen in 3 (12.5%) patients in arm A and none in arm B. Based on the interim futility analysis, PFS was 1.7 m (95% CI: 1.3-3.1) for arm A and 1.7 m (95% CI: 1.4-4.3) for arm B. Pts with viral RNA at 7 (7 pts) and 14 (6 pts) days had worse PFS compared to those with no detectable levels within arm A (1.0 vs 1.6 m, p=0.02; 0.9 vs. 1.2 m, p=0.06). Median follow-up in pts is 6.1 m. The 3-month OS estimates are 83% (95% CI: 69%-100%) and 85% (70%-100%) for arms A and B respectively.Conclusion
Conclusion: This phase II study showed no benefit in PFS for ES-SCLC patients receiving NTX-010. Pts with detectable virus at 7 and 14 days had worse PFSOnly Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

O21.05 - A multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized phase 2 study of ganitumab or rilotumumab with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) (ID 725)
17:00 - 17:10 | Author(s): B. Glisson, A. Kazarnowicz, K. Nackaerts, S. Orlov, R. Ramlau, B. Besse, M. Cobo Dols, H. Menon, L. Paz-Ares Rodriguez, Y. Zhang, M. Zhu, Y. Jiang, E. Loh, J. Gansert, S. Dubey
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) and MET, the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter factor, appear to play key roles in SCLC. Ganitumab and rilotumumab are investigational, fully human monoclonal antibodies targeting IGF1R and HGF, respectively. A phase 1b/2 study evaluated ganitumab or rilotumumab combined with etoposide plus carboplatin (CE) or cisplatin (PE) in extensive-stage SCLC. The phase 1b results were previously reported (Lorigan et al. Ann Oncol 2010;21[supplement 8]: abstract 444P). Here, the phase 2 results are reported.Methods
Key eligibility criteria: ≥18 years, confirmed SCLC, ECOG performance status ≤1, no prior chemotherapy. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive blinded investigational product (IP) either ganitumab (18 mg/kg IV, day 1) or rilotumumab (15 mg/kg IV, day 1) or placebo, with etoposide (100 mg/m[2] IV, days 1-3) plus, at investigator’s discretion, either carboplatin (AUC=5 mg/mL*minute IV, day 1) or cisplatin (75 mg/m[2] IV, day 1) every three weeks for 4-6 cycles followed by IP monotherapy. Patients were stratified by gender and chemotherapy (CE; PE). Primary endpoint: overall survival (OS). Key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), adverse events (AEs), pharmacokinetics.Results
185 patients (ganitumab/rilotumumab/placebo: 62/62/61) were enrolled between 2 February 2010 and 12 January 2011. Male: 77%/76%/77%. Median age: 60/61/61 years. More patients received carboplatin (41/40/40) than cisplatin (21/22/21). Most common reason for discontinuation of IP was disease progression (69%/61%/74%). Among 179 patients (59/61/59) who received IP, the most frequent any grade AEs (occurring in ≥30% of patients in any arm) were neutropenia (69%/59%/71%), anemia (39%/34%/36%), nausea (41%/30%/22%), alopecia (41%/23%/27%), thrombocytopenia (22%/30%/12%), and vomiting (19%/10%/31%). Grade ≥3 AEs and serious AEs were reported in 69%/72%/80% and 39%/38%/36% of patients, respectively. There were three IP-related grade 5 AEs: cardiac arrest (rilotumumab, n=1), febrile neutropenia (rilotumumab, n=1), gastric ulcer hemorrhage (placebo, n=1). No neutralizing antibodies were observed for either ganitumab or rilotumumab. Efficacy is shown in the table. Ganitumab and rilotumumab combined with chemotherapy showed comparable exposures as those under monotherapy and did not affect the pharmacokinetics of chemotherapy.

In this study of chemonaïve patients with extensive-stage SCLC, the combination of ganitumab or rilotumumab with CE or PE was tolerable; no unexpected toxicities were observed. There were no meaningful improvements in OS, PFS, or ORR with either combination.

- Presentation
Background
AAK, a key mitotic regulator, plays an important role in carcinogenesis. AAK is frequently overexpressed/amplified in a variety of human cancers. Inhibition of AAK has been associated with tumor inhibition in SCLC patients; thus, AAK is an attractive target in SCLC treatment. The investigational, oral, selective AAK inhibitor MLN8237 is under evaluation in patients with advanced hematologic and non-hematologic malignancies. A phase 1/2 study (NCT01045421) evaluated MLN8237 in patients with solid tumors; phase 2 data for the SCLC cohort are presented.Methods
Patients aged ≥18 years with relapsed/refractory SCLC, ECOG PS 0–1, and ≤2 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens were eligible (symptomatic and untreated brain metastases were excluded); sensitive and resistant/refractory was defined as recurrence > or ≤90 days of frontline therapy respectively. MLN8237 50 mg was administered twice-daily for 7 days (21-day cycles). Using a Simon’s optimal 2-stage design, ≥2 objective responses were required in the first 20 response-evaluable patients to proceed to the expansion stage. Primary objective: overall response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1. Secondary objectives: safety, duration of response (DOR), and progression-free survival (PFS). Exploratory studies included whole-exome sequencing in banked tumor specimens to identify genetic markers/mutated pathways associated with differential response.Results
As of April 2013, 60 patients were enrolled; median age, 62 years (range 43–76); median number of cycles 2 (range 1–15). 48 patients (80%) were response-evaluable (chemo-sensitive, n=36; chemo-refractory, n=12). Prior lines of therapy and efficacy data are shown in the table. ORR was 21%, median PFS 2.11 months. Most common grade ≥3 drug-related AE included neutropenia (53%) and febrile neutropenia (8%); all AEs were reversible.14 patients discontinued due to AEs (treatment-related in 3 patients: hyponatremia, thrombocytopenia, acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis; each, n=1). 13 on-study deaths were reported; none were considered drug-related (most frequent cause was disease progression [n=6]). Whole-exome sequencing of selected tumor samples was completed. Preliminary results will be presented.Conclusion
MLN8237 has a generally manageable toxicity profile; data from this study suggests it has single agent antitumor activity in SCLC patients with sensitive or resistant-refractory relapse, supporting further evaluation of MLN8237 in different combination strategies in this tumor type.

- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
ES-SCLC patients (pts) with progressive disease (PD) following plat-based chemo have traditionally been categorized as plat-sensitive (PD >/= 90 days from last plat dose) or refractory (PD < 90 days). Plat-sensitivity status has previously been strongly associated with response and survival in the 2[nd]/3[rd] line treatment setting. However, in a recent pooled analysis of SWOG trials in 2[nd]/3[rd] line SCLC pts, plat-sensitivity status was found to no longer be a significant independent variable for survival (Lara, ASCO 2013). We subsequently developed a new SCLC prognostic model for overall survival (OS) for potential clinical trial and bedside application.Methods
Updated data from recent SWOG trials in 2nd and/or 3rd line ES-SCLC (S0802: topotecan + aflibercept: S0435: sorafenib; and S0327: PS-341) were pooled. Accrual goals were specified for sensitive and refractory in each trial. Hazard ratios (HRs) for OS were calculated using Cox Proportional Hazard (PH) models [unadjusted and adjusted]. To investigate a predictive model for OS, recursive partitioning was performed using the likelihood tree model of LeBlanc and Crowley. The minimum node size was set at 20.Results
Of 329 pts, 151 were classified as sensitive, 178 refractory; median age = 63 years; males = 52%; Performance Status (PS) 1 = 67%; weight loss >5% = 28%; > 2 prior chemo = 16%; and elevated LDH = 43%. HRs from unadjusted Cox models for OS for refractory vs. sensitive were 1.0 (95% CI 0.81-1.25, p=0.98) and 1.24 (95% CI 0.99, 1.57; p=0.06). Cox PH models adjusted for baseline prognostic factors showed that plat-sensitivity status was not significantly associated with OS. Elevated LDH was significantly associated with PFS while LDH, PS, weight loss, and male sex were independently associated with OS. Clinically relevant prognostic risk groups (High, Intermediate, and Low) were identified by recursive partitioning analysis, as shown below (MST= median survival time). High Risk (MST = 2 months: Elevated LDH And > 5% Weight Loss Or PS >0) Intermediate Risk (MST = 5 months: Elevated LDH but not High Risk Or Male) Low Risk (MST=8 months: Normal LDH And Female)Conclusion
In this large database analysis, clinically relevant prognostic risk groups were identified, categorized as low, intermediate, and high risk, with differential survival outcomes observed for each group. Validation of these risk groups in an independent SCLC dataset is warranted. If validated, these risk groups will have important implications for individualized patient counseling in clinic and stratification of patients in prospective trials in the second and third line setting.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO13.01 - Disease control rate at 8 weeks predicts subsequent survival in platinum-treated extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC): a patient level analysis of SWOG trials (ID 967)
10:30 - 10:35 | Author(s): P. Lara
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Disease control rate (DCR) – the sum of partial (PR) and complete response (CR) plus stable disease (SD) – is a significant predictor of subsequent survival following platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (Lara, et al. JCO 2008). We evaluated whether this observation is also relevant in patients with platinum-treated ES-SCLC on investigational systemic therapy.Methods
Updated patient-level data from recent SWOG trials in 2[nd] and/or 3[rd] line ES-SCLC (S0802: topotecan + aflibercept; S0435: sorafenib; and S0327: PS-341) were pooled. Landmark analysis was performed among patients still alive at 8 weeks for overall survival (OS) measured from the 8-week landmark. Association of clinical prognostic factors (including age, sex, platinum sensitivity status, number of prior chemo, weight loss, and LDH, among others) with DCR was assessed using logistic regression. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the associations between DCR at the landmark time and subsequent OS, adjusted for prognostic factors.Results
319 patients were included: median age = 63 years; male sex = 51%; PS 1 = 68%; weight loss > 5% = 29%; > 2 prior chemo = 16%; and elevated LDH = 43%. Only 8 patients had PR by RECIST for an overall response rate of 2.5%. Disease control at 8 weeks was observed in 74 patients (8 PR + 64 SD), for a DCR of 23.2%. Bivariate analysis of OS from the 8-week landmark revealed that only DCR (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.53, p<0.0001) and elevated LDH (HR 1.69, p=0.001) were significantly associated with OS. Multivariable analysis showed that only DCR remained as an independent predictor of subsequent survival from the 8-week landmark (HR=0.58, p=0.002).Conclusion
In this large 2[nd]- and 3[rd]-line ES-SCLC database, DCR at 8 weeks was found to be the strongest predictor of subsequent survival in patients receiving investigational therapy. Thus, DCR at 8 weeks should be considered for use as a surrogate clinical trial endpoint to screen for drug activity against ES-SCLC. These results have critical implications in the design of future prospective trials in ES-SCLC.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO18.11 - Oral MEK1/MEK2 inhibitor trametinib (GSK1120212) in combination with docetaxel in a phase 1/1B trial involving <em>KRAS</em>-mutant and wild-type (WT) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): efficacy and biomarker results (ID 2411)
17:15 - 17:20 | Author(s): P. Lara
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in NSCLC and represents an unmet need for targeted therapy. Trametinib enhances docetaxel-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis of NSCLC cell lines. Cell lines with the KRAS G12C point mutation, the most common KRAS mutation subtype (≈50% of KRAS-mutant NSCLC or ≈10% of all NSCLC), are more responsive to apoptosis induced by this combination.Methods
This 2-part, multi-arm, open-label phase 1/1B study evaluated the safety and efficacy of trametinib plus chemotherapy (NCT01192165). Part 1 determined the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for trametinib (2.0 mg daily) and docetaxel (75 mg/m[2] every 3 weeks) in the presence of growth factors in patients with advanced solid tumors. In part 2, patients with NSCLC were stratified as KRAS WT or KRAS-mutant and treated at the RP2D. Primary study objectives were safety and tolerability; secondary objectives were efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK). Next-generation sequencing was used to perform exploratory mutational profiling on available archival tissue from 17 patients (36%). Plasma from 42 patients (89%) was analyzed both for tumor-derived mutations in cell-free DNA (eg, KRAS, EGFR) using BEAMing technology as well as cytokine and angiogenic factors using a Searchlight multiplex assay.Results
A total of 47 patients with NSCLC (22 KRAS WT [64% ≥2 prior therapies; 27% squamous] and 25 KRAS-mutant [40% ≥2 prior therapies; 0% squamous]) were enrolled and treated at the RP2D until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Safety and PK data were previously reported (ASCO 2013). Progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.2 months for all patients; efficacy results according to mutation status are shown in Table 1. Among KRAS-mutant patients, activity and efficacy were better in G12C compared with non-G12C subtypes. Among KRAS WT, activity was seen in cancers with EGFR mutations; clinical benefit was noted in 2 patients with ALK translocation (disease control 25 weeks and 60+ weeks). Final biomarker analyses, including assessment of their potential correlation with therapeutic response or resistance, are ongoing and will be reported upon completion. Figure 1Conclusion
MEK inhibition with trametinib + docetaxel (+ growth factors) demonstrated activity in both KRAS-mutant and WT NSCLC; efficacy data are encouraging and warrant further study. Cancers carrying the KRAS G12C point mutation may have improved activity and efficacy compared with non-G12C subtypes, consistent with preclinical observations. Additionally, clinical benefit with this combination was broad and was seen in patients with squamous histology and those with EGFR mutation or ALK translocation.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO20.04 - Divergent activity of afatinib (AFAT) and cetuximab (CET) in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of acquired erlotinib resistance. (ID 1458)
10:45 - 10:50 | Author(s): P. Lara
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
The combination of AFAT and CET has demonstrated remarkable clinical activity in patients with acquired resistance to erlotinib. Preclinical modeling in genetically engineered mice and cell lines predicted activity in cases where erlotinib resistance was mediated by the EGFR T790M gatekeeper mutation. However, in the clinic, patients lacking T790M-positive tumors showed equivalent benefit from this combination, suggesting alternative mechanisms of synergy. We explored the individual and combined molecular and growth inhibitory activity of these agents in PDX models derived from NSCLC patient tumors with distinct mechanisms of acquired resistance to erlotinib. These models were developed by the UC Davis - Jackson Laboratories Consortium, which has xenotransplanted over 170 NSCLC models using the nod/scid/IL2Rgamma chain-null (NSG) mouse.Methods
EGFR-mutant PDX models LG0703 (T790M-negative) and LG1049 (T790M-positive) were established from tumor biopsies from patients who progressed following durable responses to erlotinib. Both patients were subsequently treated with AFAT+CET, with the LG0703 donor patient exhibiting a prolonged response and the LG1049 donor patient exhibiting a transient response followed by rapid progression. Excised tumors from passage 1 PDXs were fragmented and implanted into treatment cohorts. When tumors reached 300mm[3], mice were randomized to erlotinib (50 mg/kg qd po), AFAT (20 mg/kg qd po), CET (10 mg/kg twice weekly iv), AFAT-CET, or vehicle control (n per arm = 12) for 3 weeks followed by a 75-day monitoring period. In a parallel cohort, tumor pharmacodynamic changes in signal transduction mediators and RTKs were assessed after 6 and 24h treatment exposures using kinase arrays (R&D systems) and immunoblotting.Results
In LG0703, AFAT, CET and AFAT-CET resulted in complete tumor response (CR) during the 21-day treatment period. After cessation of treatment, mice treated with CET or AFAT-CET remained in complete remission; whereas AFAT-treated mice progressed within 2 weeks. Clinical activity in this model was associated with complete blockade of EGFR and Her2 phosphorylation. Substantial down-regulation of AKT1, AKT2, ERK1, p38a, RSK1 and p70S6K phosphorylation was evident within 6h of treatment. In contrast, the T790M-postive LG1049 model demonstrated only modest clinical benefit from AFAT, with no single-agent CET activity, and no CET-mediated synergy with AFAT. No treatments were able to ablate EGFR phosphorylation or downstream signal transduction, and compensatory induction of EGFR, HER2, ERK1 and p38 were noted after 24h of drug exposure.Conclusion
In these PDX models derived from patients with EGFR-activating mutant cancer with acquired resistance to erlotinib, treatment with AFAT+CET recapitulated the clinical experience of the donor patients receiving this combination. In the LG0703 model, both the AFAT-CET combination as well as single-agent CET resulted in complete tumor regression associated with total ablation of EGFR phosphorylation and subsequent blockade of multiple signal transduction pathways. In the LG1049 model, AFAT prompted limited but statistically significant tumor delay, with no additional benefit from CET. These experiments demonstrate the considerable potential of this PDX resource to assess therapeutic strategies in models representing individual patients.

O21.07 - A new prognostic model for relapsed/refractory extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) derived from prospective SWOG trials: implications for study design (ID 966)
17:20 - 17:30 | Author(s): P. Lara
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
ES-SCLC patients (pts) with progressive disease (PD) following plat-based chemo have traditionally been categorized as plat-sensitive (PD >/= 90 days from last plat dose) or refractory (PD < 90 days). Plat-sensitivity status has previously been strongly associated with response and survival in the 2[nd]/3[rd] line treatment setting. However, in a recent pooled analysis of SWOG trials in 2[nd]/3[rd] line SCLC pts, plat-sensitivity status was found to no longer be a significant independent variable for survival (Lara, ASCO 2013). We subsequently developed a new SCLC prognostic model for overall survival (OS) for potential clinical trial and bedside application.Methods
Updated data from recent SWOG trials in 2nd and/or 3rd line ES-SCLC (S0802: topotecan + aflibercept: S0435: sorafenib; and S0327: PS-341) were pooled. Accrual goals were specified for sensitive and refractory in each trial. Hazard ratios (HRs) for OS were calculated using Cox Proportional Hazard (PH) models [unadjusted and adjusted]. To investigate a predictive model for OS, recursive partitioning was performed using the likelihood tree model of LeBlanc and Crowley. The minimum node size was set at 20.Results
Of 329 pts, 151 were classified as sensitive, 178 refractory; median age = 63 years; males = 52%; Performance Status (PS) 1 = 67%; weight loss >5% = 28%; > 2 prior chemo = 16%; and elevated LDH = 43%. HRs from unadjusted Cox models for OS for refractory vs. sensitive were 1.0 (95% CI 0.81-1.25, p=0.98) and 1.24 (95% CI 0.99, 1.57; p=0.06). Cox PH models adjusted for baseline prognostic factors showed that plat-sensitivity status was not significantly associated with OS. Elevated LDH was significantly associated with PFS while LDH, PS, weight loss, and male sex were independently associated with OS. Clinically relevant prognostic risk groups (High, Intermediate, and Low) were identified by recursive partitioning analysis, as shown below (MST= median survival time). High Risk (MST = 2 months: Elevated LDH And > 5% Weight Loss Or PS >0) Intermediate Risk (MST = 5 months: Elevated LDH but not High Risk Or Male) Low Risk (MST=8 months: Normal LDH And Female)Conclusion
In this large database analysis, clinically relevant prognostic risk groups were identified, categorized as low, intermediate, and high risk, with differential survival outcomes observed for each group. Validation of these risk groups in an independent SCLC dataset is warranted. If validated, these risk groups will have important implications for individualized patient counseling in clinic and stratification of patients in prospective trials in the second and third line setting.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Abstract
The 15[th] World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) is a highly interactive, collaborative, and intellectually enriching forum that focuses on the biology, diagnosis, and management of thoracic malignancies. For first-time attendees, the sheer scope and depth of the WCLC can be quite daunting. This educational session is designed for the young investigator or first time attendee. It aims to provide practical tools that will help the attendee navigate the 15[th] WCLC. This year, the Core Program Committee has organized a scientific program that includes more than 250 internationally renowned speakers and chairs participating in more than 100 sessions. The program can essentially be categorized as a component of either the Education Program or Scientific Program. The Education Program includes Invited Sessions wherein key faculty present state-of-the-art talks on relevant topics, as well as “Meet The Expert Sessions” that provide opportunities for attendees to directly interact with faculty . The Scientific Program includes cutting-edge and late-breaking research presented in oral, mini-oral, and poster formats. The Scientific Program also includes the Plenary Sessions, the Presidential Symposium (where the top rated abstracts are presented), and Highlights of the Day (where expert faculty summarize the past day’s most outstanding presentations), among others. There are also additional educational sessions such as Industry-Sponsored Symposia, a Patient Advocacy session, a Cochrane Workshop, and new to the 2013 meeting, a Chinese Alliance Against Lung Cancer session. First timers must carefully note that WCLC sessions can either be stand-alone (i.e, with no competing sessions such as the Plenary Sessions) or concurrent (e.g., oral and mini-abstract sessions). The organizers have developed a color-coded “session at a glance” diagram that clearly denotes each session’s schedule relative to others. (An online “virtual WCLC” will soon be developed to provide attendees access to concurrent sessions that they may miss because of a competing session.) There are also social events such as the Welcome Reception and the Gala Dinner that provide additional opportunities for first time attendees to interact with colleagues and faculty. It is thus anticipated that the 15[th] WCLC will provide young investigators and first time attendees a unique framework on which to build new collaborations that will ultimately have an impact on the future care of the patient with thoracic cancer.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.
