MA 07.06 - Detection of Mechanisms of Resistance to ALK Inhibitors in Routine Practice: A Retrospective Study (ID 8942)
16:20 - 16:25 | Author(s): M. Wislez
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Treatment of ALK-rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) relies on ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). However, efficacy of ALK TKI is limited by the emergence of drug resistance. ALK molecular alterations (amplification or mutation) account for about 40% of mechanisms of resistance to ALK TKI. Even though clinical and fundamental data suggest variability in drug efficacy according to the mechanism of resistance, these mutations are rarely investigated in routine practice. While targeted next-generation sequencing (t-NGS) is increasingly used for detecting molecular abnormalities, the impact of this tool in routine detection of ALK alterations is unknown.
Method:
We performed a retrospective multicentric study aiming at determining the frequency of ALK alterations using t-NGS in metastatic ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients progressing upon ALK TKI. Clinical, pathological, molecular characteristics, and patients outcome were collected.
Result:
We identified 22 patients with metastatic ALK-rearranged NSCLC who underwent a rebiopsy at progression on first ALK TKI, between January 2012 and May 2017. There were 12 females and 10 males, median age was 55, 18 patients (82%) were never smokers. Crizotinib was the first ALK TKI in 21 patients (95%). 15 patients (68%) received a second-generation ALK inhibitor and 3 patients (14%) received a third generation of ALK inhibitor. t-NGS on rebiopsy was performed in 16 patients. 6 ALK mutations (37.5%) were identified, including 3 G1202R, 1 C1156Y, 1 V1180L and 1 L1196M mutations . An ALK amplification (6%) was detected in a rebiopsy (6%) by FISH, with no concomitant ALK mutation. All ALK mutations were detected in solid biopsy, 2 ALK mutation was also detected in liquid biopsy. Median Overall Survival from first ALK TKI was 797 days (IC 95% 460-1135) and tended to be longer in patients with a known mechanism of resistance (1135 days Vs 543 days p=0.2).
Conclusion:
Targeted NGS is feasible in routine practice for detection of mechanisms of resistance to ALK TKI in ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients and may help selecting the best treatment at progression upon ALK TKI.

OA 16.03 - Recurrences and 2<Sup>Nd</Sup> Primary Cancers in the IFCT-0302 Trial Assessing a CT-Scan-Based Follow-Up after Lung Cancer Surgery (ID 9006)
14:50 - 15:00 | Author(s): M. Wislez
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
The IFCT-0302 trial is the first large randomized phase III multicenter trial which compared two follow-up modalities after surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Method:
After complete resection of a stage pI, II, IIIA or T4 (pulmonary nodules in the same lobe) N0-2 NSCLC (TNM 6[th] edition), patients were randomized (1/1) between 2 follow-up programs: - arm 1, clinical examination and Chest X-ray, - arm 2, clinical examination, Chest X-ray, thoraco-abdominal CT-scan plus bronchoscopy (optional for adenocarcinomas). In both arms, procedures were repeated every 6 months after randomization during the first 2 years, and yearly until 5 years. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Distinction between lung recurrences and 2[nd] primary lung cancer was assessed by investigators, using the Martini and Melamed definition (J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1975).
Result:
1775 patients were randomized (arm 1: 888; arm 2: 887). Patient characteristics were well-balanced between the two arms: males 76.3%, median age 63 years (range: 34-88), squamous and large cell carcinomas 39.5%, stage I 68.1%, stage II 13.7%, stage III 18.3%, lobectomy or bilobectomy 86,6%. OS and DFS were not significantly different between arms (OS: HR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.8-1.07; p=0.27). Median disease-free survival was 4.95 years (95% CI: 4.4- not reached) in arm 1 and not reached in arm 2, respectively. A recurrence was diagnosed in 245 patients (27.6%) in arm 1, and in 291 patients (32.8%) in arm 2. Recurrences were symptomatic in 203 (82.9%) and 163 (56.0%) patients, respectively. The most frequent sites of recurrence were: ipsilateral lung (42.0 and 33.0%), brain (29.4 and 23.4%), and contralateral lung (24.9 and 22.3%), respectively. Treatment of recurrence achieved complete remission in 25 (10.2%) and 52 (17.9%) patients (p=0.01), respectively. Second primary cancers (SPC) were diagnosed in 101 patients (11.4%) in arm 1, and 97 patients (10.9%) in arm 2, with symptoms at diagnosis in 64 (63.4%) and 37 (38.1%) patients, respectively. The most frequent sites of SPC were: lung (25.7 and 41.2%), prostate (14.8 and 11.3%), and ENT (11.9 and 7.2%), respectively. Treatment of SPC achieved complete remission in 30 (29.7%) and 40 (41.2%) patients (p=0.10), respectively.
Conclusion:
Although OS and DFS were not significantly increased by thoraco-abdominal CT-scan-based follow-up, recurrences or SPCs were more frequently asymptomatic and amenable to curative treatment in patients followed by thoraco-abdominal CT scan compared to those followed by chest X-ray only.
