P2.02-055 - Pathologic Mediastinal Nodal and Metabolic Tumor Response to Predict Overall Survival in Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (ID 5098)

- Abstract
Background:
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) is a therapeutic option that is used in patients with resectable stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC. We previously hypothesized that combined major histopathological mediastinal nodal response (≤10% residual tumor cells in nodal tissue) and metabolic FDG-PET response (ΔSUVmax ≥60%) on the primary tumor could be regarded as a powerful surrogate of overall survival (OS) in stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC given NCT and confirmed mediastinal nodal disease at diagnosis. This phase II prospective multicenter study aimed to validate the predictive power for OS of our restaging algorithm.
Methods:
Patients with resectable stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC having mediastinal nodal disease proven by endosonography and primary tumor SUVmax at least 2.5 were eligible. All patients were scheduled for 3 cycles of NCT followed by video-assisted mediastinoscopy (VAM). A standardized PET/CT was performed at baseline, after one and three cycles. The primary endpoint was the predictive power for longer OS of a major histopathological mediastinal nodal response at VAM combined with a pre-defined primary tumor SUVmax ≥60% at PET (good prognosis group) compared to all other situations (poor prognosis group). Under an assumption of a 2-year OS of 80% compared to 30% for the good versus poor prognosis group, respectively, 48 patients were required to have 80% power with 2-sided alpha of 0.05.
Results:
We enrolled 32 patients between 2009 and 2014. Two patients demonstrated stage IV at PET/CT after cycle one. All 3 cycles were given to 30 patients of whom 29 underwent VAM and 22 underwent surgical resection. Objective response rate (RECIST 1.1) was 44%. Complete pathological response occurred in 2 patients. Median OS was 26 months (all 2-year events occurred). In ITT, combined major histopathologic nodal and metabolic tumor response was associated with a trend towards longer OS (HR 0.29, 95%CI 0.14-1.09, P=0.07). Major histopathologic mediastinal nodal response was significantly associated with longer OS (HR 0.25, 95%CI 0.02-0.51, P=0.006), while metabolic ΔSUVmax ≥60% primary tumor response was only associated with a trend towards better OS (HR 0.41, 95%CI 0.17-1.27, P=0.14).
Conclusion:
Complete pathological response to NCT in stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC is infrequent and therefore not useful as a surrogate for OS. Combined major pathologic nodal and metabolic tumor response was associated with a trend towards longer OS. By contrast, a major histopathologic mediastinal nodal response with ≤10% residual tumor cells at VAM is well suited to be adopted as a surrogate of OS.
