P1.07-031 - Clinical Evaluation of Folate Receptor-Positive Circulating Tumor Cells Detection in Patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 5480)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): W. Zhao
- Abstract
Background:
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is distinguished by extremely high numbers of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in comparison to other malignancies, however, the role of CTCs in evaluating chemotherapy effect of SCLC is to be further clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive and prognostic role of folate receptor–positive CTCs in unresectable SCLC.
Methods:
In this single-center prospective study, blood samples for folate receptor–positive CTCs analysis were obtained from 80 patients with chemotherapy-naive unresectable SCLC at baseline, after two cycles of chemotherapy, and on disease progression. All patients received chemotherapy with EC or EP regimen for at least two cycles. CTCs number at baseline, after chemotherapy and changes with chemotherapy were evaluated as predictive factors for chemotherapy effect, along with clinical characteristics.
Results:
Of all 80 patients, CTCs was detected at baseline as positive (CTCs>8.7 FU/3mL) in 67 patients, with the percentage of 83.8%, which was not associated with age, sex, smoking status or disease stage. In 72 evaluable patients, the disease control rate was 83.9% (52/62) and 50% (5/10) in CTCs positive and negative patients respectively (P=0.004). In CTCs positive patients, those harboring low levels of folate receptor (8.7
Conclusion:
CTCs number at baseline could be used as a useful prognostic biomarker for SCLC. Reduction in CTCs number with chemotherapy could predict better chemotherapy effect of SCLC.

P2.03b-092 - Predictive and Prognostic Effect of Circulating Tumor Cells in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Targeted Therapy (ID 4815)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): W. Zhao
- Abstract
Background:
We propose a non-invasive, folate receptor (FR)–based circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection approach to interpret treatment response of targeted therapy between baseline and follow-up CTC values and the feasibility whether CTCs as a prognostic factor in advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation/ALK translocation.
Methods:
This was a prospective, unopen-labeled, single-center trial. From July 25, 2014 to March 11,2016, 308 advanced NSCLC patients were enrolled to quantified CTC level by negative enrichment using immunomagnetic beads in combination with folate receptor-directed polymerase chain reaction(PCR) that allows secondary amplification of tiny amounts of CTCs in 3mL peripheral blood before the start of targeted therapy and after one month, every two months hereafter of treatment. Among whom, 272 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation (exon 19Del mutation: n=135, L858R mutation: n=137) ,39 ALK translocation or undefined lung cancer patients. Sequential analyses were conducted to monitor CTC values during therapy and correlate radiological effects with treatment outcome.
Results:
There was no significant difference between CTC values and patients’ characristics including stage (P= 0.1015), EGFR mutation status(19 del:14.5 CTCs, L858R:12.6 CTCs, P=0.1868) , age (≤60 versus >60 years), gender, smoking status. Of 272 eligible and evaluable patients received EGFR-TKI, we found that patients harboring lower CTC levels (<20.5)were associated with longer PFS(432days, 95%CI:332.7-541.3) than those with higher CTC levels (≥20.5)(PFS: 308days, 95%CI:245.3-370.7;P=0.017). Patients with CTC <20.5 had a DCR of 77.11% compared with 58.49% in CTC >20.5 groups (P=0.008), patients with CTC <20.5 had a ORR of 51.20% compared with 33.96% in CTC >20.5 groups (P=0.029). Decreased CTC values correlated well with partial response after one month or three months’ treatment of EGFR-TKI (P=0.0082 and P=0.0023),but not with stable disease (P=0.1843 and P=0.8606).Multivariate analysis showed that CTC level was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (CTC level<20.5 vs ≥20.5,hazard ratio, 0.497; P=0.014).
Conclusion:
The change of CTCs correlated significantly with radiological response. This strategy may enable non-invasive, predictive and prognostic, specific biomarker in patients undergoing targeted therapies.
