      Background
      Chemoradiation is the standard of care for the treatment of unresectable LA-NSCLC. Cisplatin plus either etoposide or vinorelbine are two of the chemotherapy (CT) regimens widely used for the disease concurrently with radiotherapy. Oral vinorelbine is a formulation which has achieved comparable results to the IV vinorelbine. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cisplatin when combined with etoposide or oral vinorelbine with radical radiation for the management of stage III NSCLC.

      Methods
      Patients (pts) between 18 and 75 years, with histologically proven untreated and unresectable LA stage IIIA/IIIB NSCLC, adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function, ECOG PS 0-1, were randomized to: Arm OV-P: OV 60 mg/m[2] D1, D8 cycle 1 and 80 mg/m[2] cycle 2 (if no grade 3-4 toxicity) plus P 80 mg/m[2] D1 every 3 weeks for 2 cycles as induction; patients without progression received OV 40 mg/m[2] D1, D8, and P 80 mg/m[2] D1 every 3 weeks for 2 more cycles (4 cycles in total). Arm E-P: E 50 mg/m[2] intravenously D1 to D5 plus P 50 mg/m[2] D1, D8 every 4 weeks for 2 cycles. Both regimens administered with concurrent RT 66 Gy in 6.5 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression free survival using RECIST 1.1, and secondary endpoints were overall response rate, overall survival, and safety profile. To guarantee an overall type-1 α error (one side) no greater than 0.05 and a type II (β) error 0.1 for the primary endpoint of PFS, a sample size of 134 pts allocated in a 1:1 ratio is planned.

      Results
      Since August 2011 77 pts have been recruited. 46 pts have been included in the interim analysis, 23 pts have been randomly allocated to each treatment arm. Patient’s characteristics were: Male 91.3%; median age 64 (range 44-75); PS1 56.5%; smokers 46.8%; adenocarcinoma 40.4% / squamous 55.3%; stage IIIA 46.8% / IIIB 53.2%. Median of months between initial diagnosis and study start was 1 (range 0.3-15.7). Safety: 118 cycles (cy) were analysed, 79 in arm OV-P and 39 in arm E-P. Hematological toxicities arms OV-P/E-P (% cy): grade (g) 3/4 neutropenia 8.9%/13.1%; g3 thrombocytopenia 0%/5.3%; g3 anemia 0%/2.6%; febrile neutropenia 3 cases on OV-P arm (all during induction CT on cy 1) and 1 case on E-P arm (during concurrent chemoradiation). Non-hematological toxicities arms OV-P/E-P (% cy): g3 esophagitis/mucositis 1.3%/15.5%; g3 infection without neutropenia 1.3%/5.1%. No treatment-related deaths were reported. There was no remarkable difference in other toxicities between both arms. 39 pts completed the treatment as per protocol, 19 in arm OV-P and 20 in arm E-P. Overall response rates were 73.7% and 50% for the OV-P and the E-P arm, respectively.

      Conclusion
      This interim analysis shows that OV-P and E-P when administered concurrently with RT have a manageable safety profile with efficacy. Safety data is consistent with other studies reported for both chemoradiation regimens. Based on these positive results for safety, accrual is ongoing.

      Background
      The Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) undertook 2 randomized phase III trials (JCOG9812 and JCOG0301) to assess whether daily low-dose carboplatin plus radiotherapy could improve survival in elderly patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when compared to radiotherapy alone. Although JCOG9812 was prematurely terminated because of a high incidence of treatment-related deaths (TRDs) and instances of protocol violation, especially with regard to radiotherapy planning, the trial regimen was assumed promising. Therefore, JCOG0301 was conducted for the same subjects using the same protocol regimen with modified inclusion criteria regarding pulmonary function and radiotherapy quality control (RTQC) measures. We then carried out a preplanned pooled analysis of these 2 studies.

      Methods
      The eligibility criteria for both trials were age of ≥71 years and unresectable stage III NSCLC. Patients were randomized to receive radiotherapy alone (60 Gy, RT arm) or chemoradiotherapy (radiotherapy, 60 Gy plus concurrent carboplatin, 30 mg/m[2] per fraction up to the first 20 fractions, CRT arm). The primary endpoint for both studies was overall survival (OS). The pooled analysis included OS, progression-free survival (PFS), response rate, and toxicities.

      Results
      In JCOG9812, 46 patients (RT arm, n=23; CRT arm, n=23) were enrolled from November 1999 to August 2001. In JCOG0301, 200 patients (RT arm, n=100; CRT arm, n=100) were enrolled from September 2003 to May 2010, and in total, 246 patients were included in the pooled analysis. Patient characteristics for the RT (n=123) and CRT (n=123) arms were as follows: median age, 77 years (range, 71–93) and 77 years (range, 71–89); stage IIIA/IIIB, 65/58 patients and 63/60 patients; performance status (PS) 0/1/2, 44/74/5 patients and 50/69/4 patients; men/women, 103/20 patients and 96/27 patients, respectively. The median OS for the RT (n=121) and CRT (n=122) arms were 16.3 months (95% CI, 13.4–18.6) and 20.7 months (95% CI, 16.3–26.9), respectively (HR, 0.672; 95%CI, 0.502–0.898, stratified log-rank test one-sided p=0.0034). The pooled HR for PFS was 0.671 (95%CI, 0.514–0.875, stratified log-rank test one-sided p=0.0015). Response rates for the RT and CRT arms were 46.3% and 53.3%, respectively. The number of patients with grade 3/4 hematological toxicities was higher in the CRT arm than in the RT arm: leucopenia (62.2% vs 1.7%), neutropenia (54.6% vs none), and thrombocytopenia (30.3% vs 3.3%). The incidence of grade 3/4 pneumonitis decreased from 4.4% (JCOG9812; RT, 4.5% and CRT, 4.3%) to 2.1% (JCOG0301; RT, 3.1% and CRT, 1.0%), and that of late lung toxicity, from 14.0% (JCOG9812; RT, 10.0% and CRT, 17.4%) to 5.9% (JCOG0301; RT, 5.3% and CRT, 6.5%). The incidence of TRD also decreased from 8.9% (JCOG9812; RT, 1 patient and CRT, 3 patients) to 3.6% (JCOG0301; RT, 4 patients and CRT, 3 patients). As per subgroup analyses, ≤75 years, stage IIIA, male, PS 0, and smoking history were associated with statistically significant improvement in OS in the CRT arm.

      Conclusion
      This combination chemoradiotherapy for elderly patients with locally advanced NSCLC provides clinically significant benefits and RTQC measures are imperative to improve treatment outcome.

      MO25.03 - Safety data from a Phase II study of pemetrexed (PEM) and cisplatin (CIS) with concurrent thoracic radiation after PEM+CIS induction in patients with unresectable locally advanced (LA) Non Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NS-NSCLC) (ID 226)

      10:40 - 10:45  |  Author(s): P. Garrido, M. Serke, S. Novello, P. Giraud, C. Visseren-Grul, S. Ameryckx, V. Soldatenkova, N. Chouaki, W. Engel-Riedel

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      This single-arm multicenter Phase II study investigated the efficacy and safety of PEM+CIS induction chemotherapy (CT) followed by full-dose PEM+CIS with concurrent radiotherapy (RT) in patients with LA NS-NSCLC. The 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate (primary endpoint) was 51.3% (ESMO 2013). Here, we report the safety data for induction CT and concurrent CT+RT.

      Methods
      Patients with unresectable Stage IIIA/IIIB NS-NSCLC (AJCC Version 6), ECOG-PS 0-1 and forced expiratory volume (FEV) >50% of predicted normal FEV received 2 cycles of PEM 500mg/m[2] + CIS 75mg/m[2] on Day 1, every 21 days. Patients who did not progress, with no residual neurological toxicity >Grade (G)2, ECOG-PS 0-1 and lung V20<35% were candidates to receive 2 cycles of the same full-dose PEM+CIS regimen with concurrent thoracic RT of 2Gy/fraction, 5d/week for 7wks (66Gy total). All patients received vitamin supplementation/dexamethasone prophylaxis as per PEM-label.

      Results
      90 patients were enrolled in 4 European countries, 75 (83.3%) completed induction CT and started concurrent CT+RT. Characteristics of 90/75 patients starting induction/concurrent therapy: median age 61/62yrs, male 57%/53%, ECOG-PS 0 66%/65%, mean(SD) FEV 2.3(0.62)/2.3(0.59)L, adenocarcinoma 90%/92%, Stage IIIA 36%/37%. 63 of 75 patients starting concurrent CT+RT (84.0%) received all 4 CT cycles and full dose RT. Median PEM+CIS dose intensities were 90-92% during induction and >97% during concurrent CT+RT, median RT dose was 66Gy (only 6 patients <60Gy). One patient died from study-drug-related toxicity (enteritis) during Cycle 4. Four patients discontinued due to non-fatal drug- or radiation-related adverse events (AEs), 1 on induction CT (renal failure), 3 on concurrent CT+RT (hypoacusis, 2 patients with radiation esophagitis). During induction/concurrent therapy, 8 of 90 patients (8.9%)/12 of 75 patients (16.0%) had ≥1 CT dose delay due to AEs, mainly neutropenia (n=5/6). 2/6 patients (2.2%/8.0%) required CT dose reductions. 13 of 75 patients (17.3%) experienced AEs requiring interruption of radiation, mainly radiation esophagitis (9.3%). Common G1-4 toxicities are presented in the table. 41.3% of patients reported ≥1 G3/4 toxicity during concurrent CT+RT, mainly esophagitis (12.0%), neutropenia (10.7%) and leukopenia (9.3%). G3 mucositis, G3 dysphagia and G3 acute pneumonitis were each reported by 1 patient (1.3%); 6 patients (8.0%) required blood-cell transfusions. Figure 1

      Conclusion
      PEM+CIS induction CT followed by full-dose PEM+CIS with concurrent thoracic RT was well tolerated in this study. Incidences of both G3/4 and low-grade toxicities were low, not only during PEM+CIS induction CT, but also during the subsequent 2 cycles of full-dose PEM+CIS CT with concurrent thoracic RT.

      • Slides

      Background
      To evaluate the effect and safety of concurrent thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) with Cisplatin/Etoposide (PE) compared with weekly Paclitaxol/Carboplatin (PC) regimens in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      Methods
      Patients with stage III NSCLC were randomly assigned to receive PE regimen (PE arm) cisplatin 50mg/m[2] d1, 8, 29 and 36, etoposide 50mg/m[2] d1-5 and 29-33 concurrent with TRT 60Gy, or PC regimen (PC arm) carboplatin (AUC=2) and paclitaxol 45mg/m[2] concurrent with TRT 60Gy.

      Results
      156 patients were registered. Eventually, 149 were assigned to PE arm (73) and PC (76). The median follow-up time was 38 months. The median survival time (MST) was 20 months. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and 3-year OS were 39.8% and 32.9%. The 2-year progress free survival (PFS) and 3-year PFS were 24.8% and 22.4%. The MST of PE arm and PC arm were 22 months and 20 months, and the median progress free time were 13 months and 11months, respectively. The 2-year OS of PE arm and PC arm were 44.9% and 35%, the 3-year OS were 40% and 26.2% (p=0.323), respectively. The 2-year PFS of PE arm and PC arm were 27.7% and 22.1%, 3-year PFS were 24.5% and 20.5% (p=0.449), respectively. The incidence of Great 3/4 bone marrow depression of PE arm and PC arm were 34.2% and 23.7% (p=0.29). The incidence of Great 2 or greater radiation pneumonitis of PE arm and PC arm were 19.2% and 26.3% (p=0.059).

      Conclusion
      For stage III NSCLC, concurrent TRT with PE regimen has improved PFS and OS comparing with PC regimen without significant difference. Concurrent PE regimen has a lower incidence of Great 2 or greater radiation pneumonitis.

      MO25.06 - Phase I/II trial of recombinant human endostatin in combination with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in the patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (ID 2325)

      11:05 - 11:10  |  Author(s): M. Chen, Y. Bao, F. Peng, Q.C. Zhou, Z.H. Yu, J.C. Li, Z.B. Cheng, L. Chen, X. Hu, Y.Y. Chen, J. Wang, H.L. Ma

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      Endostatin has been proved to be a potent endogenous angiogenic inhibitor. Recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) was reported to be efficient in blocking angiogenesis and suppressing tumor growth. Preclinical studies demonstrated that Endostar could normalize tumor vasculature, alleviate hypoxia and sensitize the function of radiation. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Endostar combined with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with stage IIInon-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      Methods
      Patients with unresectable stage IIINSCLC were eligible. Patients received Endostar (7.5 mg/m[2]/d) through 7 days at weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7, and two cycles of docetaxel (65 mg/m[2]) and cisplatin (65 mg/m[2]) on days 8 and 36, with concurrent thoracic radiation at 60~66 Gy. Primary end points included the short-term efficacy and treatment-related toxicity of Endostar combined with CCRT.

      Results
      In all, 50 patients were enrolled onto the study, and 48 were assessable. Median follow-up was 32.1 months. Response rate was 77%. The estimated median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.2 months and the estimated median overall survival (OS) was 22.6 months. The 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 48% and 25%, respectively. The 1-year and 2-year OS rates were 81% and 47%, respectively (Figure 1).Nine patients (19%) experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related nonhematologic adverse events (AEs). Predominant nonhematologic toxicities were grade 3 esophagitis (n = 4; 8%), and grade 3 to 5 pneumonitis (n = 6; 13%). The rates of observed grade 3 and 4 hematologic AEs were 77% (n = 37). The predominant hematologic toxicity was grade 3 to 4 lymphopenia (n = 32; 67%) and neutropenia (n = 23; 48%). Overall, the entire treatment regimen was well tolerated. Figure 1 Figure 1

      Conclusion
      The combination of Endostar with CCRT is feasible and shows promising activity. This regimen should be studied further in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.

      MO25.07 - Early onset body weight loss during concurrent chemo-radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer is not due to dysphagia or reduced calorie intake (ID 3409)

      11:10 - 11:15  |  Author(s): C. Op Den Kamp, D. De Ruysscher, R. Houben, C. Oberije, G.P. Bootsma, W. Geraedts, C. Pitz, R. Langen, E. Wouters, A. Dingemans, A. Schols

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      Increased treatment-associated esophagitis could be responsible for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CT-RT)-induced weight loss in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, based on clinical observations, we hypothesized that weight loss already starts early after initiation of concurrent CT-RT and might therefore be not solely dependent on decreased intake due to esophagitis symptoms.

      Methods
      In a retrospective cohort, the onset and frequency of weight changes and their association with esophagitis grade ≥2 were assessed in patients with NSCLC treated with concurrent (n=102) or sequential (n=92) CT-RT. The findings in the retrospective cohort were validated in a prospective study in which weight loss and esophagitis grade ≥2 was assessed over a longer time period and additional data on nutritional intake, muscle strength and quality of life was obtained of patients treated with concurrent CT-RT (n=9).

      Results
      In the retrospective cohort, both the number of patients with weight loss and the magnitude of weight loss was significantly higher in concurrent than sequential treated patients in week 2, 3 and 4 of (CT-)RT (p<0.05). Longitudinal data analysis showed no significant associations between weight loss and grade esophagitis ≥2 in patients treated with concurrent CT-RT (p=0.10). In the prospective cohort, a similar pattern of ‘early’ weight loss was observed in the first weeks of concurrent CT-RT (p<0.05). This early weight loss was not accompanied by significant decreases in nutritional intake but muscle strength did already decline in this early stage (p<0.05). In the following weeks of concurrent CT-RT, the weight further decreased and reached its minimum at the end of treatment (p<0.05), while the number of patients with grade esophagitis ≥2 increased during this time period. During the later part of concurrent CT-RT, dietary intake was significantly lower and patients became more reliant on supplemental nutrition (p<0.05). Although the weight increased again in the weeks after concurrent CT-RT, it had still not reached the baseline level after 4 weeks post treatment (p<0.05).

      Conclusion
      Weight loss is a common complication of concurrent CT-RT for locally advanced NSCLC, starts early after initiation of CT-RT and is not dependent of esophagitis. It is presumably caused by active catabolism as this ‘early’ weight loss is accompanied by decreased muscle strength, despite stable dietary intake. In the later weeks of treatment, concurrent CT-RT is characterized by a further decline in body weight, decreased dietary intake and higher reliance on nutritional support. In this phase the occurrence of radiation-induced esophagitis grade ≥2 increases. In the weeks following concurrent CT-RT, partial recovery of body weight takes place but this is still not complete after 4 weeks post CT-RT. The sustained weight loss during and following concurrent CT-RT might have major negative consequences as weight loss in patients with underlying malignant disease might has been associated with higher mortality, lower treatment responses and decreases in quality of life. Though the origin of weight loss during concurrent CT-RT seems to be different in the subsequent phases, more aggressive supportive nutritional support throughout the treatment course seems conceivable to prevent negative energy balances and optimize concurrent CT-RT management.

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background
      In this study, impact of high pretreatment white blood cell count (WBCC) on survival outcomes in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) was investigated.

      Methods
      Medical records of LA-NSCLC patients treated with definitive CRT at our department between dates January 2007 and December 2011 were retrospectively evaluated. All patients received 60-66 Gy thoracic radiotherapy concurrently with 1-3 cycle cisplatin-vinorelbine/taxane (q21) regimen chemotherapy. Patients were divided into two groups according to pretreatment basal WBCC: Group1: normal (4.000-11.000) and Group 2: high (>11.000). These two groups are compared in terms of overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS).

      Results
      Pretreatment characteristics of 718 patients were given in Table 1. At a median follow-up of 23.2 months (range 8.8-44.6), median OS and PFS for whole group were 20.6 (%95 CI: 19.3-21.9) and 9.9 months (%95 CI: 9.4-10.1), respectively. On comparative survival analyses, patients with high pretreatment WBCC had inferior OS (22.8 vs.14.7 months; p<0.001) and PFS (10.4 vs. 7.0 months; p<0.001) than those with normal WBCC. On univariate analyses, T-stage (T1-2 vs. 3-4; p=0.035), N-stage (N2 vs. N3; p=0.002), and pretreatment WBCC (4.000-11.000 vs >11.000; p<0.001) were the significant prognostic factors. These factors also retained their significance on multivariate analyses as well (p<0.05 for each). Table. Pretreatment patients characteristics

      MO25.09 - A Phase II study of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET guided optimization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (ID 2442)

      11:20 - 11:25  |  Author(s): J.E. Chaft, M.D. Hellmann, M. Dunphy, W. Jappe, C.S. Sima, R.J. Downey, W.D. Travis, C.G. Azzoli, M.G. Kris

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      Perioperative chemotherapy improves overall survival in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancers. In contrast to adjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy enables radiographic assessment of chemotherapy effect and hence, the option to switch non-responding patients to a potentially more effective regimen. Responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy assessed by PET imaging correlate better with clinical outcomes than does CT imaging. We have initiated a Phase II trial of PET response guided chemotherapy, where chemotherapy administration decisions are based on comparisons of baseline PET imaging, imaging after 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy, and imaging after ‘switch’ chemotherapy in patients with an initial suboptimal response.

      Methods
      This Phase II trial (NCT01443078) is enrolling patients with clinical Stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancers deemed operable by a thoracic surgeon. To be eligible, the primary lung mass must be >2 cm with a SUV ≥4.5. Patients with diabetes requiring insulin are excluded. Patients are initially treated with cisplatin (or carboplatin if cisplatin ineligible) + gemcitabine (squamous cell) or pemetrexed (non-squamous). After 2 cycles, if repeat PET imaging shows less than a 35% decrease in SUV of the primary tumor, patients are switched to vinorelbine + docetaxel every 2 weeks with pegylated filgrastim support (2 doses = 1 cycle). The primary endpoint of this study is partial metabolic response after 2 cycles of switch vinorelbine + docetaxel as assessed by PERCIST (SUV decrease of ≥30% using the pre-switch scan as the new baseline). We considered a >20% partial metabolic response rate in those who received vinorelbine + docetaxel worthy of further study. Therefore this study was powered to see at least 6 of 25 partial metabolic responses to vinorelbine + docetaxel, estimating a total patient accrual of 100 patients.

      Results
      27 patients have been enrolled. 5 are undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy and have not yet been reassessed. 22 patients have been reimaged after 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy, 13 (59%) have had a > 35% decrease in SUV and continued on platinum-based chemotherapy. 9 (41%) patients have had a <35% decrease in SUV after platinum-based therapy and were assigned to switch chemotherapy. 7 received vinorelbine + docetaxel, and 5 (71%, 95% CI 29-96%) have had a PERCIST partial metabolic response after 2 cycles, 1 progressive disease and 1 is pending reassessment. 17 patients have been surgically explored with 13 (76%) R~0~ resections.

      Conclusion
      Preliminary results from this ongoing trial suggest that patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancers who have a suboptimal PET-assessed response to standard histology-selected, platinum-doublet neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be effectively treated with vinorelbine and docetaxel followed by surgery. This study is on-going. Assessment of pathologic response in resected patients and clinical follow-up in all patients will be available by the time of presentation.

      MO25.10 - A Phase II trial of mid-treatment FDG-PET adaptive, individualized radiation therapy plus concurrent chemotherapy in patients with inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 3461)

      11:25 - 11:30  |  Author(s): F.(. Kong, R.T. Haken, M. Schipper, J. Hayman, N. Ramnath, M. Matuszak, K. Hassan, T. Ritter, N. Bi, W. Wang, M. Orringer, K. Cease, T.S. Lawrence, G. Kalemkerian

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      We hypothesized that individualized radiation treatment targeting to the FDG-avid tumor identified mid-treatment would improve local tumor control.

      Methods
      This is a phase II trial for patients with inoperable/unresectable NSCLC. Conformal radiotherapy (RT) was given in 30 daily fractions. RT dose was individualized to a fixed rate of grade >2 lung toxicity and adaptively escalated to the residual tumor on mid-tx FDG-PET upto a total dose of 86 Gy. Patients were given concurrent weekly followed by consolidation carboplatin/paclitaxel. The primary endpoint was local-regional tumor control (LRTC) and local-regional progression free survival (LRPFS) at 2 years.

      Results
      42 patients were enrolled: median age 63 years (range 45-83); 28 (67%) male; 39 (93%) smokers; 38 (92%) stage III; and 45% squamous cell. Median physical dose reached was 83 Gy (range 63-86 Gy), equivalent to 90 Gy in 2 Gy fractions (biological effective dose 107 Gy). Minimum and median follow-up were 9 and 27 months, respectively. The 2-year rates of in-field LRTC, overall LRTC, and LR-PFS were 84% (62-94%), 61% (39-77%), and 37% (22-52%), respectively. 15 patients progressed: 2 (13%) at primary tumor alone; 4 (27%) first at distant sites alone; 2 (13%) at nodal regions alone; 5 (33%) at both distant sites and nodal regions; 1 (7%) at both distant site and primary tumor; 1 (7%) at both nodal region and primary tumor. Median overall survival was 22 months (10-33 months) and 2-year overall survival rate was 49% (32-63%). These results compared favorably to stage-matched patients treated with standard-dose RT in our center 2-year overall survival 23% (8-41%) during the same time period.

      Conclusion
      Adapting RT by targeting high dose radiation to the FDG avid region detected mid-treatment provides outstanding 2-year local-regional tumor control. RTOG 1106 is currently testing this regimen in a randomized fashion.

      11:20 - 11:25  |  Author(s): T. Le Chevalier

      • Abstract
      • Presentation

      Background
      The SCOT registry is an international, multicenter, observational registry of newly diagnosed patients with SCLC. The treatment plan remained the responsibility of the patient’s physician and data collected in this registry reflect a "real world" approach for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with SCLC.

      Methods
      56 centers included 507 evaluable patients between 10[th] of November 2009 to 18[th] of August 2010. Participating countries are from Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Korea. Data has been entered into an electronic CRF via the internet.

      Results
      Mean age was 65.4 years, 73% of the patients were male, mean BMI was 25.5 Kg/m2. Smoking status showed 50% were current and 46% former smokers. The most common symptoms at presentation (>25%) were cough, dyspnea, weight loss and fatigue. Patients presented with an ECOG status of 0 (24%; 33% for limited disease (LD) and 19% for extensive disease (ED)), ECOG 1 (52%), ECOG 2 (19%) and ECOG 3 (5%). Histology was small cell carcinoma in 98% of patients and 66% presented with extensive disease. Chemotherapy alone was given to 59% of patients in the first 6 months of treatment. 58% of patients had one line of therapy, 26% had 2 lines, 11% had 3 lines of therapy and 4% had 4 lines or more. The agents most commonly used in each line of therapy are below: Table 1: Chemotherapy agents by line of therapy in SCOT (% within the treatments of the line)

      AGENT/LINE FIRST SECOND THIRD > 3
      Platinum/Etoposide 90.7 26.8 14.5 10.5
      Topotecan 0.2 25.7 20.2 2.3
      Taxanes 2.1 9.3 21.7 26.3
      Cyclophosphamide 3.9 10.9 11.6 15.8
      Cyclo/Vincristine 3.9 12.0 11.6 15.8
      Vinorelbine 0.2 1.1 2.9 2.3
      Gemcitabine 0.0 2.2 0.0 6.8
      67 % of patients with LD received chemo + thoracic radiotherapy. PCI in the first 6 months was given in 26% of patients (LD 34% ED 22%). Best overall response at 6 months in patients with combined chemoradiotherapy was PR=51%, CR=22%, SD=16%, PD=11%. Median overall survival (OS) was 10.6 months [95%CI 9.6, 12.1] with 17.8mo for limited disease and 8.7mo for extended disease. Western Europe and Korea showed OS of 11.5mo and 11.3mo respectively whereas in Eastern European median OS was 9.1 months.

      Conclusion
      This observational study captured real world data of the current treatment paradigm of SCLC. Patients are commonly treated with etoposide/platinum or chemoradiotherapy as first line. The combination of platinum and etoposide remains by far the first choice of chemotherapy in 1[st] line and often at relapse, followed by topotecan starting from second line and beyond. Details on patterns of disease, treatment and efficacy by region and smoking status plus medical resource utilisation will be available at the meeting.

      MO22.08 - Surgical Resection of Stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer: Should we still talk about the futile thoracotomy? (ID 825)

      11:15 - 11:20  |  Author(s): T. Le Chevalier

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      Stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is currently mainly managed with chemotherapy and radiation therapy with limited outcome. Whether surgical resection should be offered to patients with resectable IIIA-N2 NSCLC as part of a multi-modality approach with adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment remains unclear. We sought to determine the long-term result of resected IIIA-N2 NSCLC in a single institution.

      Methods
      We reviewed the charts from a consecutive series of 263 patients with a mean age of 62 years (range, 37-68) undergoing lung resection and complete en bloc lymph node dissection for IIIA-N2 NSCLC from 01/2000 to 12/2011. Clinical N2 (cN2) patients were diagnosed preoperatively on chest CT scan and/or PET scan and were histologically proven by mediastinoscopy or EBUS. Patients with cN2 with a single site of mediastinal disease were occasionally treated with surgery upfront followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation (cN2 adj, n=70). The remaining patients with cN2 disease were treated with neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery (cN2 neoadj, n=55). Minimal N2 patients were diagnosed postoperatively on final pathology report and received adjuvant therapy (mN2, n=138).

      Results
      Lung resection was a pneumonectomy in 75 patients and a lobectomy in 188 patients with a post-operative mortality of 1.3% and 3.1%, respectively. Adjuvant chemo- or chemoradiation therapy was administered in 181 patients. The overall 5-year survival was 43.6%, with no significant difference between the type of lung resection (pneumonectomy: 38.9% vs. lobectomy: 45.5%, p=0.18) or the number of mediastinal lymph node site involvement (1 site 44.8% vs. 37,7% for multiple sites, p=0.9). Long-term survival tended to be better for mN2 compared to cN2 (5-year survival of 50.4% vs. 35.9%, respectively; p=0.08). However, survival for cN2 was similar between neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy (5-year survival of 30.3% vs. 40.2%, respectively; p=0.53). The number of mediastinal lymph node site involvement did not impact survival in patients with cN2 disease (1 site 37.6% vs 27.6% for multiple sites, p=0.59).

      Conclusion
      Surgery for Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC achieved good long-term survival when combined with chemotherapy or chemo-radiation therapy in well selected patients. Long-term survival was similar in patients with clinical N2 disease whether they received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. Surgery should be considered as part of a multimodality treatment for patients with stage III-N2 NSCLC.

      O17.01 - Prognostic and predictive value of a new IASLC/ATS/ERS lung adenocarcinoma classification in a pooled analysis of four adjuvant chemotherapy trials: a LACE-Bio study (ID 3255)

      10:30 - 10:40  |  Author(s): T. Le Chevalier

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      A new IASLC/ATS/ERS classification for lung adenocarcinoma has been proposed to classify invasive lung adenocarcinoma patients according to the predominant growth pattern present in the tumor: lepidic (LEP), papillary (PAP), acinar (ACN), micropapillary (MPP) and solid (SOL). Several studies have reported consistently that early stage resectable lung adenocarcinoma patients with LEP predominant pattern have a better prognosis, while MPP and SOL predominant patterns have a significantly poorer prognosis. However, the prognostic significance of these histological patterns has not been tested in clinical trials. Furthermore, the clinical utility of this new classification for predicting benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy is unknown.

      Methods
      The representative single H&E slide of 1766 non-small cell lung cancer patients from IALT, JBR.10, CALGB 9633 and ANITA adjuvant chemotherapy trials who participated in the LACE-Bio study were reviewed to confirm the histological diagnosis. These cases were independently assessed by two pathologists involved in the development of this new IASLC/ATS/ERS classification for subtyping. Discordant cases were resolved by consensus. Clinical outcomes were overall survival (OS, main outcome), disease-free survival (DFS) and specific disease-free survival (SDFS) (DFS with censoring deaths not related to cancer). Multivariable Cox models stratified by trial were used for prognostic analyses and the interaction between treatment (chemotherapy / control) and histology subtypes added for predictive analyses. The five histology subtypes were first analysed separately and 3 groups (LEP, PAP+ACN and MPP+SOL) were considered.

      Results
      573 patients were classified as 23 (4%) as LEP, 148 (26%) as ACN, 99 (17%) as PAP, 39 (7%) as MPP and 264 (46%) as SOL. The distribution of histology subtypes was different across trials (p=0.02) but not related with standard prognostic variables. The number of deaths, events and cancer-related events were 269, 320 and 292 respectively. No significant difference was observed between the survival curves of 5 subtypes whatever the endpoint. No prognostic value of 3 histological subtypes was observed for OS (p=0.21 in the control arm) contrary to DFS (p=0.04) and SDFS (p=0.03). These last 2 results were explained by the difference between PAP+ACN and MPP+SOL with hazard ratio (HR)~ACN+PAP vs. MPP+SOL~=0.66 95% confidence interval (CI)=[0.47-0.91] and HR~ACN+PAP vs. MPP+SOL~=0.67 [0.44-0.89] for DFS and SDFS, respectively. Due to the small number of patients with LEP predominant pattern, the predictive value was assessed after excluding this subtype. MPP+SOL patients reported significant DFS benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (HR=0.58 [0.43-0.80], p<0.001) compared to ACN+PAP patients (HR=1.12 [0.79-1.59], p=0.53; p interaction < 0.01). A similar result was observed for SDFS with HR=0.58 [0.42-0.80], p<0.005 in MPP+SOL compared to HR=1.13 [0.78-1.63], p=0.52 in ACN+PAP (p interaction <0.01) while no predictive effect for OS.

      Conclusion
      Resectable lung adenocarcinoma patients with micropapillary and solid predominant patterns showed a trend for poorer DFS and SDFS compared to patients with the other subtypes, and they show a significantly higher benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy on these outcomes. Histological subtypes according to the IASLC/ATS/ERS classification may be proposed as a stratification factor in design of future adjuvant chemotherapy trials.

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background
      Molecular analysis (MoA) of non-small cell lung cancer has led to definition of many subgroups that require dedicated treatments, strategy and trials. We created a monthly MMTB dedicated to lung cancer patients (pts) with potential driving molecular abnormalitie(s). MMTB includes physicians from the lung tumor board and the phase I unit, pathologists and biologists. A medical report summarizes the findings and treatment recommendations. We report 2 years of activity of MMTB.

      Methods
      All consecutive files discussed in MMTB in Gustave Roussy were reviewed. Tumor and pts characteristics were collected as well as treatment. Pts outcome was calculated from the MMTB.

      Results
      245 pt files were discussed between February 2010 and March 2012. 53% were male, 27% never-smokers, 89% had PS 0 or 1, median age was 59. Clinical initial stage was III-IV in 17 pts (7%) and 78%/11%/11% were adenocarcinoma/squamous cell carcinomas/others NSCLC. Time from diagnosis to MMTB was 7 months (m) (1-222), 102 (42%) of pts received more than 1 line of treatment before MMTB. Biopsy for MoA mostly came from CT guided biopsies (61%), surgery (22%) or endoscopy (15%). Biopsy was repeated in 20% of pts to get enough material for MoA. The MoA results were ALK rearrangement in 10%, exon 18/19/21 EGFR mutation (mut) in 2/14/8%, KRAS mut in 30%, PI3KCA mut in 0.4%, BRAF mut in 3%, HER2 mut in 1%, FGFR1 amplification in 3%, other rare mutations in 14%. MMTB recommendations were: a clinical trial in 75 pts (31%), receive an EMA-approved drug in 49 pts (20%), an off-label commercial drug in 18 pts (7%), an expanded access program in 18 pts (7%), none in 85 pts (35%). Out of the 160 MMTB pts with treatment recommendations, 63 (42%) received the proposed targeted therapy and 16 (11%) might receive it at the time of disease progression. After MMTB, 84 pts (34%) received 1 line, 66 pts (27%) 2 lines or more, 56 pts (23%) no treatment (unknown in 39 pts). Median follow-up is 20.6 m. Progression-free (in 224 pts) and overall survivals (OS, in 221 pts) from MMTB are 3.5 and 13.4 m. In univariate analysis for OS, the pts who received the recommended treatment from the MMTB had a better prognosis (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.56, p=0.002), confirmed in multivariate analysis (HR=0.61 [95% confidence interval: 0.42-0.88], p=0.009) after taking into account histology, previous platinum-based treatment and the number of previous treatment lines.

      Conclusion
      MMTB leads to treatment recommendations in a majority of the pts, fosters inclusion in clinical trials or expanded access programs, and limits the use of off labelled drugs. Updated data will be presented

      P3.18-018 - Results of upfront genomic testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (MSN study) (ID 3066)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Author(s): T. Le Chevalier

      • Abstract

      Background
      Recent advances in lung cancer have identified potential driver mutations that may be targeted. On the basis of routine screening for EGFR we have initiated a comprehensive large-scale sequencing analysis of genes potentially mutated in NSCLC.

      Methods
      Genomic DNA was extracted prospectively from untreated advanced NSCLC tumors. All materiel was obtained IRB-approved protocols and after patients’ consent (MSN trial "Melanoma – Small-cell lung cancer – Non-small cell lung cancer "). Pathology specimens were macrodissected, after DNA extraction, 106 selected exons from 38 genes were analyzed by Sanger sequencing (EGFR, KRAS, HER2,4, BRAF, PI3KCA, PIK3R1, TP53, CDK4, CDKN2A, cKIT, PDGFRA, MET, FGFR2-4, FCGR2A,3A, FLT3, CTNNB1, GNAS, HRAS, NRAS, KDR, PDPK1, TOP1,2A, ERCC1, FBXW7, TSC2, PTEN, AKT1-3, MAP2K1-2, STK11, ALK). ALK rearrangements and HER2 amplification were detected by FISH. All result therapeutic outcomes were discussed monthly in a molecular thoracic multidisciplinary staff.

      Results
      Thus far (between May 2009 and September 2012), 351 patients (pts) have been included. The median age was 60 years (range 22-87), 212 (60%) were male, 248 (71%) had adenocarcinoma, 286 (81%) were former/current smokers. A complete failure of the analysis was observed in 78 (22%) pts mostly due to insufficient tumor cells in the specimen (<30%) or poor quality DNA. EGFR, KRAS, HER2, BRAF, PI3CA and ALK (“standard biomarkers”), analysis were performed in 235 (67%), 233 (66%), 207(59%), 221(63%), 139 (40%) and 206 (59%) pts respectively. Depending of markers, success rate was between 77% and 86 % (failures include scarce tumor sample). Two hundred and sixty three pts had at least one result for the EGFR, KRAS or ALK, and 176 pts had all three. 107 pts had a whole genomic analysis and 244 had at least one (1-6 biomarkers) standard biomarkers analysis. Ten (3.8%) pts had concurrent oncogenic mutation. The molecular profiles were characterized by 16% EGFR, 26% KRAS, 1% HER2, 0.8% PI3KCA mutated, 7% HER2 amplification and 11% ALK rearrangement. The pts with the while genomic analysis had 12 other genes evaluated for more than 80 pts and 13 pts had mutation (STK11, PDPK1, PTEN, NRAS, MET, KDR, FGFR4, HER4). A personalized targeted therapy was proposed in most of pts with a genomic alteration. Median OS of pts with at least one mutation/translocation for EGFR, KRAS, BRAF or ALK (n=152) was 13 and 17 months (p=0.006) in wild type or mutated pts respectively. In univariate analysis for OS (median follow-up: 19 months), KRAS mutated pts had a poor prognosis (hazard ratio [HR]=1.56, p=0.037), confirmed in multivariate analysis (HR= 1.78, p=0.008), EGFR mutated pts had a good prognosis (HR=0.48, p=0.01), BRAF and ALK mutations/translocation had no prognostic value.

      Conclusion
      Routine mutational profiling of advanced NSCLC is feasible in the vast majority of the pts but an extensive molecular portrait can be performed only in a limited number of pts. The molecular profile may have an impact on pts treatment strategy at our cancer institute. KRAS mutation is associated with poor prognosis. Updated results will be presented.
