      125P - Clinical research platform into molecular testing, treatment and outcome of non-small cell lung carcinoma Patients (CRISP): A prospective German registry in stage IV NSCLC, AIO-TRK-0315 (ID 388)

      12:30 - 12:30  |  Author(s): M. Sebastian

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Treatment in NSCL is quickly evolving and new agents make it to the routine practice at a rapid pace. Whether outcome and PRO data generated in clinical trials with often narrow inclusion and exclusion criteria will hold up in the routine practice is of high interest, especially due to the increasing costs of new drugs. Therefore, registry data are of ever increasing importance to patients, physicians and reimbursement institutions.

      Methods:
      Therefore, we have started a prospective, clinical registry for patients with metastatic NSCLC. The purpose of CRISP is to set up a national clinical research platform to document representative data on molecular testing, sequences of systemic therapies and other treatment modalities, course of disease in patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC in Germany not amenable to curative treatment. A particular focus is on molecular biomarker testing of patients before the start of 1[st] -line treatment. The data shall be used to assess the current state of care and to develop recommendations concerning topics that could be improved. PRO assessment will provide large-scale data on quality of life and anxiety/depression for real-life patients in routine practice. In addition, two questionnaires (concerning individual quality of life and patient-caregiver communication) will be validated in German patients with metastatic NSCLC. Furthermore, CRISP will set up a decentral tissue annotation for future collaborative, investigational scientific biomarker testing. This study will be carried out in up to 150 representative cancer centers in all therapeutic sectors in Germany. More than 8000 patients will be recruited and followed up to a maximum of 3 years, respectively until death.

      Results:
      The first patients have been included in Dec. 2015. As of Jan. 2[nd] 2017, 71 centers are recruiting patients and 529 patients have been recruited. Preliminary data will be presented at the meeting for molecular testing, demographic data as well as treatment stratification in the 1[st] line setting.

      Conclusions:
      The registry CRISP will be the first to present representative real life data, covering all treatment settings of patients with NSCLC in Germany.

      94PD - Adverse events self-reported by patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with osimertinib or chemotherapy (ID 353)

      15:15 - 15:15  |  Author(s): M. Sebastian

      • Abstract

      Background:
      The Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) complements standard adverse event (AE) reporting in oncology trials. We assessed patient-reported symptomatic AEs in individuals receiving osimertinib 80mg once daily or chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the AURA3 trial, using the PRO-CTCAE.

      Methods:
      AURA3 (NCT02151981) was a multinational, open-label, randomized phase III trial involving 419 patients.1 As part of exploratory analyses, individuals for whom validated local language versions were available (in English, German, Japanese or Spanish) were asked to complete the PRO-CTCAE by e-device, weekly for 18 weeks and then every 3 weeks.

      Results:
      In total, 161 patients (38%; 102 osimertinib, 59 chemotherapy) provided data for PRO-CTCAE analysis (mean age: 64 years; 63% women). The number of patients providing PRO-CTCAE data fluctuated between different items and time points, and decreased over the study period. Of patients on osimertinib providing information on acne/pimples, 37%, 38%, 32% and 29% reported having acne/pimples at baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks, respectively, compared with 30%, 19%, 14% and 12% on chemotherapy. Most cases (>90%) were mild. Reported rates of diarrhoea changed little over time post-baseline and were higher with osimertinib than with chemotherapy (32% vs 36% at baseline, 47% vs 28% at 4 weeks, 53% vs 33% at 12 weeks, 45% vs 21% at 24 weeks). Most cases were mild or moderate. Fatigue (64% vs 72% at baseline, 72% vs 89% at 4 weeks, 55% vs 89% at 12 weeks, 60% vs 79% at 24 weeks) and decrease in appetite (54% vs 53% at baseline, 42% vs 75% at 4 weeks, 35% vs 69% at 12 weeks, 33% vs 46% at 24 weeks) were reported less commonly with osimertinib than with chemotherapy. Most cases were mild.

      Conclusions:
      Self-reported data from patients with NSCLC treated with osimertinib or chemotherapy showed changes over time in AE rates from start of treatment and differences in prevalence of patient-reported AEs (PRO-CTCAEs) with osimertinib versus chemotherapy.
