MA08.06 - Impact of Depth of Response (DpR) on Survival in Patients with Advanced NSCLC Treated with First-Line Chemotherapy (ID 4460)
11:36 - 11:42 | Author(s): D. Morgensztern
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
DpR, defined as maximum tumor shrinkage, has emerged as a potential predictor for long-term treatment outcome across multiple tumors, including NSCLC treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy. This exploratory analysis evaluated whether DpR correlated with survival in patients with advanced NSCLC treated with platinum-doublet chemotherapy in a phase III randomized clinical trial.
Methods:
Patients received first-line nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m[2] weekly or paclitaxel 200 mg/m[2] q3w, both + carboplatin AUC 6 q3w. The current analysis evaluated DpR as best percent change from baseline in total target lesion length during treatment. For patients with tumor shrinkage, data were grouped into quartiles based on maximum percent shrinkage from baseline (Q1: > 0%-≤ 25%; Q2: > 25%-≤ 50%; Q3: > 50%-≤ 75%, Q4: > 75%) and compared with data from patients with no change or tumor growth (NC/G).
Results:
Tumor measurement by independent review (baseline and postbaseline) was evaluable in 959 patients pooled across treatments. The median (Figure) and 1-year OS increased with each quartile vs NC/G (NC/G: 4.8 months and 17%; Q1: 10.4 months and 44%; Q2: 14.5 months and 62%; Q3: 19.3 months and 71%; Q4: 23.5 months and 70%) with HRs for OS vs NC/G of 0.42 for Q1 (95% CI, 0.33-0.53; P < 0.0001), 0.28 for Q2 (0.22-0.36; P < 0.0001), 0.23 for Q3 (0.16-0.31; P < 0.0001), and 0.19 for Q4 (0.11-0.33; P < 0.0001), respectively. Similar findings were observed for all quartiles vs NC/G for age (≥ 70 and < 70 years) and histology (squamous and nonsquamous) in subset analyses (P < 0.05 for all comparisons).
Conclusion:
DpR was associated with increased OS in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, regardless of age or histology. These findings underscore the importance of evaluating quality of treatment response in this patient population.Figure 1

P1.05-047 - Early Mortality in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Undergoing Adjuvant Chemotherapy (ID 5523)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): D. Morgensztern
- Abstract
Background:
Although adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival in patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to surgery alone, it is also associated with potentially disabling or lethal adverse events. Since there is limited information on the early mortality among patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy, we used the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) to calculate the percentage of deaths within the first 6 months from starting chemotherapy.
Methods:
The NCDB was queried for patients aged 18 or older, diagnosed with stage IB to IIIA NSCLC (AJCC 7[th] edition) from 2004 to 2012, who underwent surgery with negative margins followed by multi-agent chemotherapy, starting within 120 days from the surgical resection. Patients who received radiation therapy were excluded. Age groups were divided into <50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80 and >80 years. Early mortality from months 1 to 6 were calculated and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify clinical variables independently associated with mortality at six months from the date of initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy.
Results:
A total of 19,791 patients met the eligibility criteria. The median age was 65 (range 19-89). The percentage of deaths at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months were 0.6%, 1.3%, 1.9%, 2.6%, 3.3% and 4.2% respectively. The percentages of death at 6 months for each age group from < 50 years to > 80 years were 2.7%, 3.2%, 4.1%, 5.3% and 7.8% respectively. Factors independently associated with increased 6-month mortality included increased age, male gender, higher Charlson-Deyo co-morbidity score (CDCS), type of surgery, length of stay (LoS) > 6 days and 30-day readmission (Table).
Conclusion:
There is a high risk for early mortality among patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for NSCLC, particularly in patients older than 70, with high co-morbidity score and a more complicated post-operative period.Table. Multivariable analysis

P1.07-035 - Circulating Cell-Free Tumor DNA (cfDNA) Testing in Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 6193)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): D. Morgensztern
- Abstract
Background:
The diagnosis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is often made using fine needle aspiration or small biopsy of tumor specimens that are typically insufficient for next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. Guardant360 (G360), a blood-based liquid biopsy that analyzes circulating free tumor DNA, may allow the detection of potentially targetable gene abnormalities without the need for repeated tissue biopsies.
Methods:
Peripheral blood samples from patients with SCLC were collected in two 10 mL tubes. Cell-free DNA was extracted and analyzed by digital sequencing for the detection of single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small Insertions and Deletions (INDELs), Copy Number Alterations (CNAs), and gene fusions. The Tumor Alterations Relevant for Genomics-Driven Therapy (TARGET) curated database (http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/cga/target) was queried for potentially actionable alterations.
Results:
240 samples from 227 de-identified patients were collected between June 2014 and June 2016. 7 patients had more than one sample analyzed. During this time period, the number of genes in the panel increased from 54 (10 samples) to 68 (87 samples) and finally to 70 (143 samples). The median time from sample collection to reporting was 13 days (range 8-28 days). Alterations in at least one gene were found in 222 (92.5%) of samples and 210 (92.5%) patients. SNVs in TP53 and RB1 were seen in 72.4% (152/210) and 25.7% (35/136) of patients with detectable alterations respectively. The most common potentially actionable alterations were amplifications of FGFR1 (11.8%) and ERBB2 (7.1%). MYC amplification, which was not considered an actionable alteration by TARGET but has been associated with sensitivity to Aurora kinase inhibitors in pre-clinical studies, was observed in 15.8% of patients. Eight patients had EGFR activating mutations (exon 21 L858R mutation or exon 19 deletion), of which 2 patients also had EGFR T790M mutation, likely representing transformation from NSCLC following targeted therapy with EGFR Tyrosine kinase inhibitors. KIF5B-ALK and AFAP1-RET fusions were seen in 1 patient each.
Conclusion:
G360 is a rapid non-invasive NGS platform which may be particularly useful in patients with advanced stage SCLC where tissue samples may be suboptimal for NGS. Due to the limited treatment options in this patient population, the detection of potentially actionable genes through G360 may provide valuable information to guide treatment decisions.
