P1.05-063 - Multicenter Observational Study of Patients with Resected Early-Staged NSCLC, Who Were Excluded from an Adjuvant Chemotherapy Trial (ID 4713)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Goto
- Abstract
Background:
From Nov. 2008 to Dec. 2013, the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) conducted a randomized phase III trial (JCOG0707), which compared the survival benefit of UFT and S-1 for completely resected pathological (p-) stage I (T1>2 cm and T2 in the 6th TNM classification) NSCLC and a total of 963 patients were enrolled. Recently, there is a growing concern that those who participated in clinical trials are highly selected and do not represent the “real-world” population. Hereby, we conducted a multicenter observational study of patients excluded from JCOG0707 trial during the study period.
Methods:
We retrospectively collected and analyzed the patients’ backgrounds, tumor profiles, post-surgical treatment of the patients who underwent R0 resection of p-stage I (T1>2cm and T2 in TNM 6th) NSCLC by lobectomy or larger lung resection but were excluded from JCOG0707 from Japanese multi-centers.
Results:
Of the 48 institutions which took part in JCOG0707, 34 (enrolling 917 or 95.2% of all JCOG0707 patients) participated in this multicenter study, and 5006 patients were enrolled. Among them, 2617 (52.3%) patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria, but were not enrolled to JCOG0707 mainly due to patients’ decline (69.2%), or physicians’ discretion (20.5%). The accrual rate to JCOG0707 was various by institutions (4.1 to 46.1%), but was 25.9% (917 / [917+2617]) as a whole. Total number of p-stage I and eligible patients at each institution did not correlate the accrual rate (R2=0.003 and 0.046). In the remaining 2389 (47.7%) patients, main ineligible reasons included the existence of active multiple cancer (29.1%), physicians’ decision based on the patients’ comorbidities (19.4%), delayed recovery from surgery (14.1%), and high age ≥81 years (10.7%). Majority of patients received no adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 3338, 66.7%). This proportion differed according to p-T factor (T1: 75.3% vs. T2 : 57.8%, p<0.001) and the JCOG0707 eligibility (ineligible population: 77.6% vs. eligible population: 56.7%, p<0.001). Standard UFT and experimental S-1 were given in 1550 (31.0%) and 21 (0.4%) patients, respectively. Among those who received adjuvant UFT, 971 (62.6%) took UFT for one year or longer.
Conclusion:
Only selected population of candidate patients, even if they met the eligibility criteria, were enrolled to JCOG0707 adjuvant chemotherapy trial for early-stage NSCLC. The “excluded” patients were mainly treated with observation alone or standard UFT treatment. Further analysis of this “excluded” population, including long-term survival, should be necessary for external validation of the randomized trial results.

P1.07-005 - A Retrospective Study of Sequential Chemoradiotherapy for LD-SCLC Patients in Whom Concurrent Therapy is Not Indicated (ID 4066)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Goto
- Abstract
Background:
The standard treatment for limited-disease small-cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC) is a combination of cisplatin-doublet chemotherapy and concurrent thoracic radiotherapy. However, sequential radiotherapy, rather than concurrent radiotherapy, is selected for some cases because of concerns regarding the irradiation field, patient age, comorbidities, or performance status. Nevertheless, the efficacy of sequential chemoradiotherapy in patients in whom concurrent chemoradiotherapy is contraindicated is not well known.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 286 patients with LD-SCLC at the National Cancer Center Hospital and the NTT Medical Center in Japan between 2000 and 2014. We then compared the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients undergoing sequential radiotherapy with those undergoing concurrent radiotherapy.
Results:
One hundred and eighty-three patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy and 30 received sequential chemoradiotherapy. The median age of the patients was 64 years (range, 18-81 years) for the concurrent group and 71.5 years (50-83 years) for the sequential group. The concurrent group contained 43 women (23%), while the sequential group contained 9 women (30%). The major reasons for the selection of sequential radiotherapy were patient age (13 patients), a large irradiation field (8 patients), and comorbidities (5 patients). In the sequential group, 23 (77%) received conventional radiotherapy, whereas 7 (23%) received accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy. The median overall survival period was 34.5 months for the concurrent group and 27.6 months for the sequential group (P = 0.39). The 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 71%, 50%, and 40% for the concurrent group and 56%, 56%, and 35% for the sequential group. Recurrence was seen in 149 patients (81%) in the concurrent group and 19 patients (63%) in the sequential group.
Conclusion:
We obtained treatment outcomes for patients who could not receive concurrent radiotherapy but could complete sequential radiotherapy that were comparable with the outcomes for those who received concurrent radiotherapy. For patients in whom concurrent chemoradiotherapy is not indicated, sequential chemoradiotherapy should be considered.

P2.03b-017 - Differences of Central Nerve System Metastasis during Gefitinib or Erlotinib Therapy in Patients with EGFR-Mutated Lung Adenocarcinoma (ID 4879)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Goto
- Abstract
Background:
A few reports have suggested a difference in the incidences of new metastasis to the central nerve system (CNS) during gefitinib and erlotinib therapy. However, a direct comparison of these two therapies has not yet been reported. We planned a retrospective study to investigate the incidences of CNS metastasis progression (new CNS metastasis or progression of existing CNS metastasis) during gefitinib and erlotinib therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring EGFR mutation.
Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed the incidences of CNS metastasis progression and the outcomes of NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation who received gefitinib or erlotinib as a first-line EGFR-TKI treatment at the National Cancer Center Hospital between 2008 and 2014.
Results:
A total of 175 patients were analyzed; 148 patients had received gefitinib, and 27 had received erlotinib. The median (range) ages were 64.5 (32-81) years and 62.0 (27-68) years, respectively; exon 19 deletion/L858R point mutations were present in 84/64 (56.7%/43.3%) and 17/10 (63.0%/37.0%) cases, respectively. The status of CNS metastasis before EGFR-TKI therapy was negative/positive in 105/43 (71.0%/29.0%) cases in the gefitinib group and 21/6 (77.8%/22.2%) cases in the erlotinib group, respectively. The incidence of CNS metastasis progression in the gefitinib group tended to be higher than that in the erlotinib group (29.0% vs. 11.1%; P = 0.051). In patients without CNS metastasis before EGFR-TKI therapy, the incidence of new CNS metastasis during EGFR-TKI treatment was significantly higher in the gefitinib group than in the erlotinib group (24.7% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.04). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) periods of the patients who presented with CNS progression were shorter than those of the patients who presented without CNS progression (median PFS, 9.5 vs. 12.6 months, P = 0.034; median OS, 23.8 vs. 34.1 months, P = 0.002). Fifty-six patients underwent re-biopsy after the failure of EGFR-TKI therapy, but no difference in the incidences of EGFR T790M mutation was seen between patients with and those without CNS metastasis progression (40.0% for patients without CNS progression vs. 63.6% for patients with CNS metastasis progression, P = 0.19).
Conclusion:
The incidence of the progression of CNS metastasis during gefitinib therapy was higher than that during erlotinib therapy. In addition, the difference in this incidence was more remarkable among patients who had not developed CNS metastasis prior to the start of EGFR-TKI therapy.

P3.02c-097 - Nivolumab in Elderly or Poor Performance Status Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 4213)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): Y. Goto
- Abstract
Background:
Nivolumab showed durable antitumor activity and survival benefit in previously treated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in elderly (≥75 year old) or poor performance status (PS; ≥2) patients with NSCLC, most of who have been excluded from clinical trials.
Methods:
This was a retrospective cohort study investigating the outcome of patients with advanced or post-operative recurrence NSCLC who received nivolumab from January to April 2016 in the National Cancer Center Hospital. Patient characteristics, the efficacy of nivolumab, survival, and adverse events were analyzed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in pretreatment tissue (10 biopsy and 3 operation specimens) was assessed using the rabbit monoclonal PD-L1 antibody (clone 28-8; Abcam). Staining of ≥1% of tumor cells was considered as the cut-off value of positive PD-L1 expression.
Results:
A total of 20 patients, including 10 elderly patients with non-squamous NSCLC and 10 poor PS patients (7 with non-squamous and 3 with squamous NSCLC), received nivolumab. Objective responses were observed in 6 patients: 4 (40%) elderly and 2 (20%) poor PS patients. The median progression-free survival was 2.8 months and 1.7 months in the elderly and poor PS groups, respectively. Of 13 cases with quantifiable IHC results, 10 cases were positive for PD-L1. PD-L1 expression was not predictive of a response, which occurred in 4 of 10 (40%) patients with PD-L1-postive tumors, 1 of 3 (33%) patients with PD-L1-negative tumors, and 1 of 7 (14%) patients with an unknown PD-L1 status (p = 0.52). Treatment-related adverse events led to discontinuation of nivolumab in 6 patients (1 elderly and 5 poor PS patients). Figure 1
Conclusion:
Nivolumab had a clinically meaningful response for elderly or poor PS advanced NSCLC patients, but toxicity led to the discontinuation of nivolumab.
