      Background:
      This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan/cisplatin (IP) and etoposide/cisplatin (EP) in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and the distribution of UGT1A1. Simultaneously, the relationship between UGT1A1 genotypes and patient outcomes were assessed.

      Methods:
      Patients with untreated ES-SCLC were randomly assigned to receive either IP or EP, and blood specimens were collected to test the genotypes of UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6. The association of efficacy and toxicity of IP regimen with UGT1A1 genotype was analyzed.

      Results:
      Of the 62 patients enrolled from three institutions, 30 patients were in the IP and 32 patients were in the EP arms, respectively. Disease control rates (DCR) with IP and EP were 83.3% and 71.9%, respectively (P=0.043). Median progression-free survival (PFS) for IP and EP were both 6 months. Median overall survival (OS) for IP and EP was 18.1 and 15.8 months respectively, without significant difference. Grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia was more common with EP (18.8% versus 6.7%, P=0.035), while the incidence of diarrhea was higher with IP (70% versus 15.6%, P=0.008). The incidence of grade1-4 late-onset diarrhea of wild-type, heterozygous and homozygous UGT1A1*28 were 65.0%,85.7% and 66.7% respectively (P=0.037). UGT1A1*28 polymorphisms, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, chemotherapy cycles were the essential factors affecting grade1-4 late-onset diarrhea in a logistic regression analysis.Figure 1Figure 2





      Conclusion:
      The efficacy of IP regimen was similar to EP regimen for untreated ES-SCLC. UGT1A1 polymorphisms was associated with late-onset diarrhea, however it has no influence on efficacy.

      P3.01-039 - Patient Characteristics and Treatment Outcome of Advanced Non-Squamous NSCLC with over 6-Month Disease Control from Icotinib (ID 2806)

      Background:
      Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) has an established role in the treatment of advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Icotinib is an EGFR-TKI with non-inferior efficacy but milder toxicities compared with gefitinib. Disease control for over 6 months suggests that the case is not primary resistant to the drug. The present study investigated the patient characteristics and treatment outcome of advanced non-squamous NSCLC with at least 6-month disease control from icotinib.

      Methods:
      Non-squamous NSCLC patients with disease control after 6-month icotinib treatment were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics were collected from the medical records. Efficacy and outcome data were analyzed.

      Results:
      A total of 87 patients were enrolled onto this study in which 56 were female, 18 with brain metastasis, and 32 patients harbored known EGFR mutation. For the overall population, 42(48.3%) patients achieved partial response. Response rate were 65.6%(21/32)and 38.2%(21/55)in patients with EGFR mutation and those with unknown mutation status, respectively(P=0.014). Patients with brain metastasis appeared to have lower response rate (26.7% vs 56.9%, p=0.033).The median progression-free survival (PFS) after 6 months’ icotinib treatment was 9.7 months (95% CI 4.1-15.4 months) for the overall population, and 5.0 months (95% CI 0.6-3.9 months) and 12.9 months (95% CI 3.4-6.2 months) for those with and without brain metastasis, respectively. Median progression-free survival in patients with PR or SD showed no statistically significant difference (15.5 months vs 9.3 months, P=0.477).

      Conclusion:
      The present study provided evidence from a relatively large single institutional study of icotinib in clinical practice. Patients with disease control for over 6 months showed similar clinical features to those with EGFR mutation. Those patients will have prolonged clinical benefits with continuous icotinib therapy after 6 months, regardless of PR or SD. Brain metastasis is a potential unfavorable predictive factor for PFS for those patients
