P2.01-043 - PD-L1 Expression, EGFR and KRAS Mutations in First-Line Therapy (1L) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients (ID 10061)

- Abstract
Background:
The association of PD-L1 expression, KRAS and EGFR mutations, and survival in NSCLC patients who received 1L therapy was examined.
Method:
1L metastatic NSCLC patients diagnosed during 2001-2012 who had sufficient archival tumor tissue were selected from the Danish Lung Cancer Group Registry. Medical data from population-based medical registries and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from pathology archives were retrieved. PD-L1 expression was assessed at two cut-offs (25% and >1%) using the Ventana IHC (SP263) assay, KRAS and EGFR genotyping was performed using PCR-based kits. Follow-up started at commencement of 1L therapy and continued to death, emigration, or 31/12/2014. Cox regression models were used to compute hazard ratios (HRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for PD-L1, EGFR, and KRAS.
Result:
Among 491 patients, 280 (57%) were men and 334 (68%) were aged >60 years at diagnosis; 283 (58%) had adenocarcinoma, 152 (31%) had PD-L1 expression ≥25%, 23 (5%) had EGFR mutations, and 130 (26%) had KRAS mutations. In PD-L1 >25% tumors, 4% had EGFR and 30% had KRAS mutations. In PD-L1 <25% tumors, 16% had EGFR and 27% had KRAS mutations. Patients with a KRAS mutation had an increased risk of death and those with an EGFR mutation had a lower risk of death, but neither estimate was statistically significant (Table). Adjusted exploratory analyses indicated that tumor PD-L1 >25% was not associated with survival, however immune cell expression for PD-L1 at the 1% threshold and increasing tumor infiltration with immune cells were both significantly associated with a survival benefit.

Conclusion:
Immune cell expression of PD-L1 and tumor infiltration by immune cells are associated with survival among 1L lung cancer patients. These findings are based on a small cohort and further study is warranted.
