      19:40 - 19:45  |  Author(s): T. Hida

      Background:
      In the pivotal ASCEND-1 study, ceritinib, an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor (ALKi), showed clinical activity in patients with ALK-rearranged (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including in patients with brain metastases (BrM). Here, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from the recently reported ASCEND-2 study (NCT01685060) are described for chemotherapy- and ALKi-pretreated patients with ALK+ NSCLC with and without baseline BrM

      Methods:
      In ASCEND-2, adult patients with ALK+ NSCLC previously treated with chemotherapy and an ALKi (crizotinib) received oral ceritinib 750 mg daily. PROs were assessed at baseline and Day 1 of treatment cycles 2, 3, and every two cycles thereafter (1 cycle=28 days), using the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) and EORTC quality of life and lung cancer surveys (QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13, respectively). Data were analyzed by presence/absence of baseline BrM. Data beyond cycle 9 are not reported due to small sample sizes.

      Results:
      All 140 patients enrolled (median age [range] 51 [29–80] years; 50.0% male), had received ≥2 antineoplastic regimens and 100 (71.4%) had BrM at baseline. At data cutoff (13 August 2014), median follow-up was 11.3 months. PRO questionnaire compliance was at least 91.2% up to cycle 9. In the overall patient population, investigator-assessed disease control rate (DCR) was 77.1% and median duration of response (DOR) 9.7 months. Investigator-assessed whole-body DCR [95% confidence interval (CI)] in patients with and without baseline BrM was 74.0% [64.3, 82.3] and 85.0% [70.2, 94.3], respectively, while DOR [95% CI] was 9.2 [5.5, 11.1] and 10.3 [7.4, 16.6] months, respectively. Analysis of PROs data demonstrated that treatment with ceritinib improved lung cancer symptoms in patients with and without baseline BrM (Figure). QLQ-LC13 outcomes were broadly consistent with those of LCSS. In general, mean global quality of life (QLQ-C30) was maintained on treatment for both patient subgroups, with mean change from baseline in QLQ-C30 global health status ranging from -3.06 to +7.25 in patients without baseline BrM and -2.83 to +3.55 in those with baseline BrM. Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      In patients with ALKi-pretreated ALK+ NSCLC who received prior chemotherapy and ceritinib, clinical efficacy was demonstrated and cancer symptoms were mostly improved, with health-related quality of life generally maintained regardless of presence or absence of baseline BrM.

      ORAL22.07 - Oncogenic Profiling in Lung Adenocarcinoma Emerged in the Youth (ID 686)

      11:50 - 12:01  |  Author(s): T. Hida

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      EGFR, Kras mutations and EML4-ALK translocations were frequently positive in adenocarcinoma among lung cancer, and in fewer cases HER2, BRAF mutations or RET, ROS1 translocations were identified. Although adenocarcinomas emerged in the youth are estimatedly associated with some driver oncogenes including these mutations/translocations, the detail remains unknown.

      Methods:
      We retrospectively screened 55 consecutive patients who were diagnosed as stage I-IV adenocarcinoma at the age of 40 years or less in 2009-2014. We analyzed clinical and genetic characteristics among them.

      Results:
      Out of 55 patients, 21 (38%) were male, 24 (44%) were never-smoker, and 38 (69%) were stage IV, with the median age of 36 years (range; 26-40). Forty-five patients (82%) were identified some driver oncogene. 26 (47%) had EML4-ALK translocation, 13 (24%) had EGFR mutation, and 2 (4%) had Kras mutation. We examined rare oncogenes in 10 out of 14 triple-negative patients, which revealed three patients had HER2 mutation and two had RET translocation.

      Conclusion:
      82% of adenocarcinomas emerged in the youth were identified some targetable driver oncogenes. Not only EGFR mutation or EML4-ALK translocation, rare oncogene examination is necessary especially among these populations.

      P2.01-059 - Does Pemetrexed/Platinum Fit All Patients with Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer? A Retrospective Study of Clinical Factors and Outcomes (ID 2308)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Author(s): T. Hida

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Pemetrexed/platinum is one of the standard treatment regimens for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). The aim of this study was to examine the association between survival of lung cancer patients treated with pemetrexed/platinum and clinical factors.

      Methods:
      The medical records of advanced or relapsed non-squamous NSCLC patients treated with pemetrexed/platinum at our hospital between January 2010 and December 2013 were reviewed. Basic characteristics, histological subtypes of NSCLC, driver mutation status, TTF1 staining status and status of treatment with taxane were evaluated for association with the survival from pemetrexed/platinum started day to deaths.

      Results:
      Two hundreds nine records were reviewed. The median age was 62 (28-79), 60% were male, 40% were never smoker, 89% had an ECOG PS0-1 and 11% had a PS 2-3. The median value of CEA and CYFRA were 10.5 ng/ml and 3.0 ng/ml, respectively. 93% were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma and 7% were diagnosed as other subtypes (large, adenosquamous, sarcomatoid and not otherwise specified). 79% (81/102) had a positive TTF1 staining. 26% had EGFR mutation, 7% had ALK fusion and 11% had KRAS mutation. 36% of patients were received bevacizumab with pemetrexed/platinum. 35% of patients were treated with cisplatin. The response rate of pemetrexed/platinum was 34.8%. Median overall survival was 537days. 65% of patients were treated with taxane and the response rate was 15.0%. In multivariate analysis, poor PS(HR 1.33; p=0.027), others in histological subtypes (HR2.00; p=0.047) and K-RAS mutation(HR 2.74; p=0.021) correlated significantly with a shorter overall survival and low CYFRA(≤3.0ng/ml, HR 0.55; p=0.002) correlated significantly with a longer overall survival.

      Conclusion:
      High CYFRA, KRAS mutation and others in histological subtypes may be associated with shorter overall survival treated with pemetrexed/platinum in non-squamous NSCLC. The development of effective treatment regimens for such patients is needed to improve their outcomes.

      P3.01-020 - Updated Data from JP28927 Study of Alectinib in ALK+ NSCLC Patients with or without History of ALK Inhibitor Treatment (ID 346)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Author(s): T. Hida

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Alectinib, a next generation ALK inhibitor, was granted approval in Japan 2014, since it showed good efficacy and tolerability in ALK+ NSCLC patients without previous ALK inhibitor treatment in Phase I/II study (AF-001JP). We also reported its promising response and good tolerability for crizotinib pre-treated patients in JP28927 study (ESMO 2014). This report describes the update of efficacy and safety result in JP28927 study.

      Methods:
      Patients (with/without prior ALK inhibitor treatment) who had ALK+ NSCLC were enrolled in JP28927. Patients received alectinib (300mg) twice daily; treatment was continued until the investigator determined lack of clinical benefit.

      Results:
      Thirty-five patients were enrolled into JP28927 study. Median follow-up duration was 400 days (35-457 days). The median progression free survival (PFS) of 35 patients was 13.9 months (95%CI: 11.1- NR). Among 30 patients with the target lesions at base line, the overall response rate (ORR) was 70% (95%CI: 50.6-85.3) with rapid response (the median time to response was 1.2 months [95%CI: 1.1-2.1]). Twenty-three out of 35 patients had been confirmed the progressive disease with crizotinib treatment. Their median PFS was 12.9 months (95%CI: 3.9-NR). Twenty out of 23 patients had the target lesions at base line. ORR was 65% (95%CI: 40.8-84.6) and the median time to response was 1.2 months (95%CI: 1.1-1.3). The treatment-related adverse events (AEs) observed in more than 10% of the patients were constipation (31.4%), dysgeusia (25.7%), WBC count decreased (22.9%), neutrophil count decreased (22.9%), vomiting (14.3%), rash (14.3%), blood bilirubin increased (14.3%) and AST increase (14.3%). Treatment-related Grade 3 AEs, i.e. pulmonary thrombosis, lymphocyte count decrease, hypophosphatemia, were observed in 3 patients. No treatment-related Grade 4 or 5 AEs were observed.

      Conclusion:
      The updated results in JP28927 study once again endorsed our previous reports which had indicated alectinib’s promising response even for ALK+NSCLC patients who failed to crizotinib treatment.
