MA 07.03 - Incidence, Predictors and Prognostic Significance of Thromboembolic Events in Patients with Advanced Alk-Rearranged NSCLCs (ID 9532)
15:55 - 16:00 | Author(s): Ó. Juan
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
The incidence of venous thromboembolic events all along the course of the disease in advanced-stage lung adenocarcinomas is approximately 15 %. It is plausible that the different molecular subtypes might influence on the risk of thrombosis. Based on our clinical observation, and supported by limited data from isolated small series, patients bearing ALK rearranged tumors could be at a particularly high-risk of thromboembolic disease.
Method:
We included consecutive patients diagnosed with advanced-stage ALK fusion positive non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) between January 2012 and December 2016. Clinical data were contributed by 29 Medical Centers from Spain and one large Academic Cancer Center from Portugal. Investigators at each institution retrospectively reviewed patients’ medical records. A thromboembolic event was defined as any venous or arterial thromboembolism, or both, at any site, documented by appropriate imaging studies, that occurred at the time or after advanced-stage cancer diagnosis.
Result:
A total of 241 ALK-rearranged NSCLCs were included in our study. Half of the patients were never smokers (52 %), and most had stage IV pulmonary adenocarcinomas (n=204, 85%). Baseline brain and liver metastasis were detected in 22 % and 25 % of the patients respectively. Seventy-three patients (30 %) developed thromboembolic disease. In 54 patients (74 %) thromboembolic complications occurred within the first 6 months from diagnosis. In the multivariate competing-risk regression analysis, the presence of baseline liver metastases (HR of 1.85, CI 95 % 1.09-3.15; p = 0.021) and baseline leukocyte counts > 11.0000 cells/mm3 (HR of 2.34, CI 95 % 1.43-3.82; p = 0.001) were independent predictors of thromboembolic disease. Remarkably, 50 % of the patients with either liver metastases or leukocytosis at diagnosis developed thromboembolic disease. Patients experiencing thromboembolic events had shorter median overall survival (OS) (20 months) than patients without thrombosis (36 months) (p = 0.035). In the multivariate Cox Model, thromboembolic disease remained associated with worse OS (HR of 1.70, CI 95 % 1.10-2.62; p = 0.016) when considered as a time-varying covariate. The presence of baseline thromboembolic disease (n = 24) was associated with a numerical non-significant increased risk of death (HR 1.67, CI 95 % 0.96-2.91; p = 0.068).
Conclusion:
Venous and/or arterial thromboembolic complications occur in a high proportion of patients with advanced-stage ALK fusion positive NSCLCs, particularly in the presence of baseline liver metastasis or leukocytosis. The development of thromboembolic disease is associated with a lower OS in these patients.

MA 15.01 - LungBEAM: A Prospective Multicenter Trial to Monitor EGFR Mutations Using BEAMing Technology in Stage IV NSCLC Patients (ID 10145)
15:45 - 15:50 | Author(s): Ó. Juan
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Liquid biopsy is a promising approach to improve the management of NSCLC patients, offering a minimally-invasive alternative to tumor tissue testing and enabling timely monitoring of patients on-therapy. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the performance of the OncoBEAM EGFR plasma vs EGFR tissue testing across 19 Spanish hospitals and to examine the timing of T790M mutation emergence in patients during first-line EGFR TKI therapy with respect to radiological progression.
Method:
Blood samples from 112 therapy-naïve advanced NSCLC patients were collected at baseline and throughout EGFR TKI therapy. Results from OncoBEAM EGFR mutation were performed by Sysmex in Hamburg, Germany and then compared to those obtained by the initial EGFR tissue testing obtained at the referring hospital. In addition, the time at which T790M was first detected was compared to the date of progression determined by radiological imaging.
Result:
112 stage IV NSCLC patients (p) were enrolled between Nov 2016 and May 2017. Clinical characteristics: median age 65 y. , 81 female. Smoking pattern: never 70 p (62,5%), former 33 p (29.4%) and active 9 (8%). M1a 28 p (25%), M1b only brain 10 p (8.9%), only bone 17 p (15%). Baseline tissue samples: Exon 19 deletion 74 p (66%) , L858R 38 p (34%). Initial positive percent agreement (PPA) in 69 out of 112 p was 52/69 or 75.4%. Interestingly, the agreement between plasma and tissue EGFR mutation results for patients diagnosed at M0 was 56%, versus 81% with patients diagnosed at M1. In addition, the average number of days between tissue biopsy and blood collection for concordant cases was 128 days, versus 358 days for discordant cases. Currently, the tissue EGFR mutation status of all discordant cases is being re-examined using BEAMing. Preliminary results from serial T790M plasma analyses revealed cases where detection by OncoBEAM was observed several weeks prior to documented progression by imaging. More mature results will be available at the time of the meeting
Conclusion:
Overall, these initial results show high PPA of plasma and tissue EGFR mutation status at baseline. Moreover, early detection of T790M in blood may assist in anticipating resistance to first-line EGFR TKI therapy.

P1.01-040 - Clinical Utility of Plasma-Based NGS for Advanced-Stage NSCLC Patients with Insufficient or Unavailable Tumor Tissue (ID 10215)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Ó. Juan
- Abstract
Background:
The failure rate of tissue-based NGS in newly diagnosed NSCLCs is approximately 20-25 %, reaching 40 % in the case of tumor biopsy samples collected at disease progression. In this study, we are analyzing the clinical utility of plasma-based NGS using cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for advanced-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients, as a complement or alternative to tissue-based molecular profiling.
Method:
Eight Academic Spanish Institutions are participating in patient recruitment. We are stratifying patients in three cohorts: 1) Patients with advanced-stage lung adenocarcinomas with insufficient tumor tissue for EGFR, ALK or ROS1 analysis; 2) Patients with EGFR, ALK or ROS1 altered tumors with acquired TKI resistance; 3) Patients with EGFR T790M positive cancers progressing on third generation EGFR TKIs. Next-generation ctDNA sequencing is being performed using GUARDANT360 73-gene panel at a CLIA certified central laboratory facility (Redwood City, California). We are stratifying gene variant actionability into four levels according to the OncoKB website criteria.
Result:
We have currently included 97 patients (January-June 2017). Complete clinical and molecular data are available at present for the first 37 patients. Twelve, 19 and 6 patients have been enrolled in cohorts 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Never smoker patients were overrepresented (n = 21, 56 %), predominantly at cohorts 2 and 3. A total of 30 cases (81 %) had detectable ctDNA. We have detected potentially actionable genetic alterations involved in mitogenic pathways in 16 patients (43 %). Level 1 alterations (variants with matched approved drugs) were found in three patients’ tumors (25 %) from cohort 1 (two EGFR sensitizing mutations and one ROS1 rearrangement). Nine patients (36 %) from cohort 2 and 3 had tumors with potentially targetable acquired genetic alterations, including three cases with EGFR T790M mutations and one case with a ROS1 kinase domain mutation. Six patients (16 %) received matched targeted therapies, four (11 %) in genotype-driven clinical trials. Reasons for not receiving matched targeted therapies in patients with actionable tumors were clinical deterioration or death (n = 2), unavailability of matched clinical trials (n = 6), treatment with non-genotype-tailored therapies (n =1) or no disease progression to ongoing therapies (n =1). Final clinical and molecular data of the whole cohort will be provided at the meeting.
Conclusion:
On the basis of our preliminary data, next-generation ctDNA sequencing (GUARDANT 360) appears to detect actionable genetic alterations when tissue is unavailable, avoiding multiple biopsies and enabling rapid patient selection for genotype-tailored therapies.

P2.01-031 - Use of Geriatric Assessment (GA) in Clinical Practice for Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The GIDO Experience (ID 9027)
09:00 - 09:00 | Author(s): Ó. Juan
- Abstract
Background:
Geriatric assessment is strongly recommended to assess the health status of older cancer patients. It can detect multiple health issues, even in patients with good performance status. However, its integration into clinical practice is very slow. In order to engage Medical oncologist on Oncogeriatrics, we developed a prospective protocol to assess GA in clinical practice.
Method:
Elderly patients (> 70 ), stage IV NSCLC wild type, underwent GA. Classified according to GA into fit and medium fi (candidates for antitumoral treatment), and unfit (best supportive care). Data from four teaching hospitals in Comunitat Valenciana (Spain) were entered into a prospective database. The institution’s ethical review board approved the study. Spanish Medicine Agency classified it as a post-authorization study: GIDO-ONC-2015-01. All patients provided written informed consent.
Result:
From 01/2014 to 01/2017, 93 patients with stage IV NSCLC wild type were identified. Median age: 76 (70-92); 30% older than 80 years old. Gender (M/F): 88%/12%. Histology (SCC/AD/NOS): 52%/38%/10%. PS 0-1: 83%. PS was unrelated to GA (p:0.006). 19 PS 0, 10 (52%) were fit, 7 medium-fit (37%) and 2 were frail (11%). PS 1 (57), 47% (27) were fit, 33% (19) medium-fit and 19% (11) frail. Main reasons for medium-fit were comorbidities and dependence in IADL. Frailty patients were those unable for ADL and geriatric syndromes (depression and dementia). GA group was related to overall survival (13 m vs 7,2 m vs 2,2 m,p:0.000) (figure), treatment decision (p:0.0001) and toxicity (p:0.0001). 100% of fit patients were treated with chemotherapy (90%% platinum-combinations), 48% of medium-fit (42% platinum-combinations) and only 8% of frail patients received chemotherapy, none platinum-combinations (p:0.000). Multivariate analysis is pending Figure 1
Conclusion:
Our results suggest that GA identified patients with a poor natural prognosis. Despite generally good performance status, the prevalence of geriatric impairments was high. More research on GA-stratified treatment decisions is needed.
