      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)

      • 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.
