MINI15.06 - Impact of Three and Further Lines in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients According to Molecular Profile: A Retrospective Analysis (ID 2919)
17:15 - 17:20 | Author(s): T. Moran

- Presentation
Background:
There is little evidence supporting the efficacy of third-line systemic therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (p) with advanced (a) disease, except for erlotinib, and its role is unclear in unselected population. Nonetheless, further-line chemotherapy(CT) is frequently offered in daily clinical practice. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, pathological characteristics and outcomes of p with aNSCLC who received >3 CT regimens to identify subsets of patients more likely to benefit. The presence of underlying molecular alterations has also been evaluated.
Methods:
The study included data from all consecutive p diagnosed with aNSCLC in our Institution from January 2008 to December 2013. Median overall survival (mOS) and progression free survival (PFS) were evaluated with Kaplan-Meier curves and groups were compared using the Log-rank test. Variables analyzed included p tumor and treatment characteristics. Overall response rate(ORR) was calculated according to the RECIST criteria.
Results:
A total of 486 p were included .175 p (36%) received >3 lines (group3+). Table 1 summarized p characteristics. Group 3+included more females (35.4%vs22.8%; p= 0.0041),younger p (58.9vs61.9;p =0.0016), more never-smoker p (26.9%vs18%;p=0.015), less lung (10.9%vs22.2%;p= 0.0020) and heart (4%vs11.6%;p=0.0020) comorbidities, a higher proportion of molecular alterations (EGFR/ALK) (25.7%vs12.9%; p= 0.0005), more adenocarcinoma (68.6%vs55%;p=0.0045) and less brain metastasis (14.3%vs23.5%;p=0.018). ORR to first line was higher in group 3+ (45.8%vs 29%;p=0.0009). 82.3% non-squamous histology were tested for at least one molecular alteration. There were no differences in PFS between both groups. The mOS of p in group 3+ was longer [24.3 m vs. 7.7 m, p<0.0001)], including p with EGFR/ALK/ROS1 wild-type or unknown [21.6 m vs. 7.4 m, p<0.0001) ]. OS was also longer in the group 3+ harboring a molecular alteration [32.2 m vs 12.7m;p=0.0002]. In the univariate analysis the presence of a molecular alteration were related to longer PFS. In univariate analysis having received >3, female gender, age<65 and the presence of molecular alterations were associated with longer OS. In the multivariate analysis >3 therapeutic lines and the presence of molecular alterations were related to longer OS.
Conclusion:
P treated with >3 systemic treatments were more likely to respond better, progress later and live longer. This better prognosis could be related to the presence of molecular alteration. However p without or unknown molecular alteration could benefit from receiving subsequent lines.

ORAL04.05 - Results Ph III Trial Customized Adjuvant CT after Resection of NSCLC with Lymph Node Metastases SCAT: A Spanish Lung Cancer Group Trial (ID 2983)
11:28 - 11:39 | Author(s): T. Moran
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Postop platinum-based CT improves outcomes in completely resected NSCLC with nodal involvement (St II-IIIA) but compliance and outcomes remain limited. Analysis of expression of genes involved in DNA repair could be used to individualize optimal CT. BRCA1 is primarily involved in the repair of double strand DNA breaks and functions as a differential regulator of response to cisplatin (Cis) and antimicrotubule agents. BRCA1 defficiency can enhance Cis resistance. Loss of BRCA1 function is associated to sensitivity to DNA-damaging CT and may also be associated with resistance to spindle poisons
Methods:
Randomized phase III multicenter trial. After surgery patients (p) with St II and III NCSLC were random 1:3 to control arm (3 cycles Cis-Docetaxel) or to experimental arm with treatment assigned according BRCA1 expression levels (low levels: Cis-Gemcitabine; intermediate levels: Cis-Doc; high levels: Docetaxel alone). Stratifification factors: N1 vs N2; age < or > 65 y; non-Squamous vs Squamous (Sq) histology; lobectomy vs pneumonectomy). Planned PORT in N2. Primary end-point OS. Secondary end-points DFS, toxicity profile (CTCAE v 3.0) /compliance, recurrence pattern. Statistical hypothesis: increase 20% 5y survival rate control group (45%)
Results:
From June/2007 to May/2013, a total of 591 p were screened and 500 of them were randomized in the study, 108 in control arm, 392 in experimental arm. In experimental arm 110 p received Cis-Gem, 127 Cis-Doc and 110 Doc alone. There were no significant differences between arm for known prognostic factors: Median age 64 y; 79% males, 21% females; 43% Sq, 49% Adenoca, 8% others; 57% former smokers, 32% current smokers, 11% never smokers; pneumonectomy 26%; N1 58%, N2 48%. Median tumor size 4.4 cm (0.8-15.5 cm). Median mRNA BRCA1 levels 15.78 (0.73-132). Mean BRCA1 levels 6.95 in Adenoca vs 20.29 in Sq (p<0.001). P with Sq histology showed a longer DFS (HR 0.73; p=0.05) but without differences in OR (HR 1) Median follow-up 28 months (0-79 m), with a cut-off of March 15[th] 2015, median survival has not reached both arms and no significant differences have been seen for OS with hazard ratio (HR) 0.866 (p=0.45) or DFS with HR 1. In experimental group HR for OS was 0.842 (NS) comparing low with high-BRCA1 levels. In p with high-BRCA1 levels control treatment (Cis-Doc) was superior to experimental (Doc) with HR 1.24 (NS).In non-Sq histology experimental treatment was superior to control with HR 0.75. For p receiving all planned treatment HR is 0.63 with p = 0.043 compared with p not able to complete treatment.
Conclusion:
Overall survival data are still immature because median survival is not reached with a median f-u 28 m for this N+ population. At this time analysis BRCA1 based adjuvant CT does not improve overall OS. In p with high BRCA1 levels Doc alone is inferior to Cis-Doc. BRCA-1 levels are higher in Sq and in non-Sq histology a trend to better survival in experimental arm was found. Full dose of planned treatment confers a survival advantage, however, longer follow-up is still warranted.
