      P1.05-015 - Major Pathological Response as a Predictive Value of Survival in Early-Stage NSCLC  After Chemotherapy: Cohort of NATCH Phase III Trial (ID 9893)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Author(s): A. Estival

      • Abstract

      Background:
      In early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, randomized phase III NATCH trial reported no statistically differences in disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS) with the addition of preoperative or adjuvant chemotherapy to surgery. In pre-operative arm, those patients who achieved a complete response obtained a benefit in 5-year DFS rate (59% vs. 38%). Recently, major pathological response (MPR) to preoperative therapy (10% or less of residual viable tumor after preoperative chemotherapy) has reported as surrogate marker of OS. We assess to validate this prognostic factor in a cohort of patients included the NATCH trial.

      Method:
      Retrospectively MPR was collected in a cohort of 57 early-stage NSCLC patients treated in the preoperative arm into NATCH trial from 2 institutions. OS according to MPR was analysed (long-rank test) in the whole population and by histologic subtype

      Result:
      In this cohort, median age was 67 years (47-78), 48 (84%) were males, 26 (46%) squamous subtype. By stage according to 6[th] TNM: 9 (16%) stage IA, 35 (61%) stage IB, 12 (21%) stage IIB and 1 (2%) stage IIIA. All except 3 completed 3 cycles of preoperative treatment. Surgical procedures: 81% lobectomies or bi-lobectomies, 14% pneumonectomies, 5% no surgery. In the whole population, there was a trend toward 5-year OS benefit among those patients with MPR (84.6% vs. 58.5%, p=0.106). According to histologic subtype, squamous tumours with MPR had significantly better 5-year OS (100% vs. 47.1%, p=0.026), but not in adenocarcinoma subtype (66.7% vs. 66.7%, p=0.586).

      Conclusion:
      MPR is a prognostic value in squamous NSCLC patients who receive preoperative chemotherapy. Validation in extended cohort merits further evaluation.

      P2.07-041 - Immuno-Related Cutaneous Adverse Events (IRcutAEs) in Patients (P) with Advanced NSCLC: A Single-Institution Prospective Study (ID 9828)

      • Slides

      Background:
      Despite the impressive benefits of the immune checkpoint blockade in NSCLC, its use can be hampered by the occurrence of serious adverse events. IRcutAEs are underestimated and poorly described according to data from the clinical trials.

      Method:
      Before starting immunotherapy, all NSCLC p were prospectively referred to the Dermatology Department. Periodic monitoring visits were also scheduled for each p, in order to describe the IRcutAEs and their treatments. The study included data from all consecutive NSCLC p treated with immunotherapy in our institution.

      Result:
      Since May 2016, 50 p were recruited for the present study. According to clinical characteristics; 18 p had squamous histology, 43 p received treatment as second line or further, and 36 p were treated with nivolumab. During the follow-up period, 15 p (30%) developed IRcutAEs. Lichenoid reactions were the most common AE (9 p, 60%), but some specific conditions were also observed, such as a cutaneous lupus (1 p, 6.6%) or an eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (1 p, 6.6%).

      Conclusion:
      IRcutAEs are common during antiPD1-PDL1 therapy. By offering a dermatological follow-up, the diagnosis and management of this type of toxicity can be provided to NSCLC p initiating immunotherapy.
