      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): J. Zeron-Medina

      • 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.

      P2.07-060 - Response Assessment and Subgroups Analysis According to the Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) for Immunotherapy in Advanced NSCLC Patients (ID 10179)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Author(s): J. Zeron-Medina

      • Abstract

      Background:
      LIPI is a score that combine dNLR (neutrophils/(leucocytes-neutrophils) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and correlate with prognosis of NSCLC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). We report the predictive role of LIPI on response and in various subgroups of patients.

      Method:
      Baseline dNLR and LDH were retrospectively collected in 431 patients treated with ICI from Nov. 2012 to Jan. 2017, from 8 European centers. LIPI delineates 3 groups: good (dNLR<3+LDH3 or LDH>ULN), poor (dNLR>3+LDH>ULN). Response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR) were assessed according to the investigator’s criteria. The subgroup analysis was performed according to the age, histology, performance status (PS) and PD-L1 status by immunohistochemistry (positivity if ≥ 1% on tumor cells).

      Result:
      With a median follow-up of 12.8 months (m.) [95%CI 11.9-14], 431 patients were included. Baseline characteristics are summarized in table 1. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 10.5m. [95%CI 9.5-13] and 3.9m. [3-4.4], respectively. The median OS was 4.8m. vs. 10 m. vs. 16.5m., and median PFS was 2m. vs. 3.1m. vs. 5m. for the poor, intermediate and good LIPI groups, respectively (both p<0.0001). LIPI was correlated with response rate (p<0.0001). In multivariate analysis, the intermediate and poor group were associated with progressive disease, with an OR of 2.20 [CI95% 1.26-3.84] p=0.005) and an OR of 3.04 [CI95% 1.46-6.36] p=0.003), respectively. LIPI was correlated with OS, regardless the age (<70 years (p<0.0001) vs. older (p=0.0006) and the histology non-squamous (p<0.0001) vs. squamous (p=0.02). In PS 0-1 and in smoker population, LIPI correlated with OS (both p<0.0001), but not in PS ≥2 (12%) and non-smokers (8%). LIPI was correlated with OS for positivity (p=0.01) and unknown PD-L1 (p=0.0001), but not negativity.
