      Background:
      CD45RA+ CCR7+ naive T cells were reported to generate effectors possessed the high potent cytotoxic activity and low level of "exhaustion" T cells in vitro. However the relationship between frequency of naïve T cells in peripheral blood and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not clear. In order to elucidate this relationship, we first analyzed the frequency of CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cell in peripheral blood of healthy population and patients with NSCLC.

      Methods:
      The frequency of CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cells was calculated by flow cytometry from healthy volunteers and NSCLC patients. The correlation of naive T cell frequency and overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients who were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or chemotherapy was statistically analyzed.

      Results:
      105 healthy volunteers (age rank 23-85year-old) and 137 NSCLC patients (age rank 33-86year-old) were enrolled in our study from 2013 October 1st to 2015 December 1st. Our results showed that the frequency of peripheral blood naïve T cells in NSCLC patients’ (Mean=17.8±5.7%) was significantly lower than that in healthy subjects’ (Mean=31.2±5.2%) (p<0.05). The frequency of naïve T cell was negatively correlated with the frequency of PD-1+CD8+ T cells (R[2]=0.1111, p<0.001) in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients, whereas, which was positively associated with the immune activity of CD8+ T cells and with the frequency of lymphoid stem cells or lymphoid progenitor cells in peripheral bloods (R[2]=0.1521, p<0.001). In the patients who were treated with TKIs,mOS in the group of high frequency of naïve T cells (>17.8%) was not reached, while that of group with low frequency (17.8%) was 19.0m (HR=0.3057, 95% CI 0.1127- 0.8291, p=0.0199). In patients who were administered chemotherapy, the mOS in the naïve T cells low frequency group was 12.0m, but in the high frequency group the median OS was undefined (HR=0.3286, 95% CI 0.1100 0.9817, p=0.0463).

      Conclusion:
      Our study shows that the CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cells in peripheral blood closely related with immune response, and the frequency of naïve T cells in peripheral blood is positively associated with prognosis of NSCLC, which can be worked as a valuable prognostic factor for NSCLC patients.

      P3.02b-059 - The Role of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in the Onset of Skeletal Related Events in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 6042)

      Background:
      Bone metastasis is frequent in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, and subsequent skeletal related events (SREs) adversely deteriorate life quality and survival. Patients harboring sensitive epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation experience a prolonged life expectancy. However, it is unclear whether survival enhancement in NSCLC patients with sensitive EGFR mutation may encounter an increase in the onset of SREs or not. Also, it is still unknown whether time to SREs is impacted by EGFR mutation status. In this study, we evaluated the impact of EGFR mutation status and other clinic-pathological variables on the incidence of SREs and on survival outcomes of SREs in stage IV NSCLC patients.

      Methods:
      We conducted a retrospective study of medical records from patients who were diagnosed stage IV NSCLC in a single institute. EGFR mutation status, and other clinical-pathological variables, bone metastasis outcomes and survival data were collected and statistically analyzed.

      Results:
      410 patients with evident bone metastasis were enrolled in the study. 49.0% patients were detected with sensitive EGFR mutation, and 29.0% were prophylactically administered bisphosphonate. 42.7% experienced at least one SRE, the most common type of which was palliative radiotherapy. Patient harboring sensitive EGFR mutation hold a lower incidence of SREs than patients who were detected with wild type EGFR (37.3% vs 47.8%, p=0.031), and patients who received bisphosphonate confronted a lower incidence of SRE comparing with patients who didn’t receive bisphosphonate prophylactically (36.1% vs 45.4%, p=0.087). Median time from bone metastasis to first SRE was two months longer in patients with EGFR mutation, comparing to patients with wild type EGFR, with a marginal significance (5.0m vs 3.0m, p=0.08). The administration of bisphosphonate delayed the median time to first SRE for 5 months (7.0m vs 2.0m, p=0.037). In multivariate analysis using a Cox proportion model, wild type EGFR (HR=1.559, 95%CI 1.081-2.249), multiple bone lesions (HR= 1.991, 95%CI 1.217-3.258), mixed type bone lesions (HR=2.144, 95%CI 1.085-4.238) were independent risk factors of survival post first SRE, while a smoking history (HR=1.428, p=0.053) was shown marginally significant with an impaired survival post first SRE.

      Conclusion:
      This retrospective study shows that EGFR mutation has a propensity to impact the onset of SRE and prolong survival post first SRE in patients with stage IV NSCLC. For patients with higher risks to experience SREs, bisphosphonate is an alternative to impede the process.
