P3.03-014 - Tumor Cavitation in Patients with Primary Lung Cancer Following Apatinib Treatment (ID 9054)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): N. Zhou
- Abstract
Background:
Apatinib is a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets VEGFR-2. Treatment of primary lung cancer patients with apatinib is a new promising paradigm. In addition to hypertension and hand-foot syndrome, tumor cavitation and increase in CEA value are frequently noted in these patients. However, there are limited literatures regarding whether they could be used as potential biomarkers for anti-angiogenic therapy. This study was to evaluate the frequency and clinical outcome of primary lung cancer patients who developed tumor cavitation or showed increase in CEA value following apatinib treatment.
Method:
This was a retrospective analysis of primary lung cancer patients treated with apatinib in the Affiliated Hospital of Qiingdao University between 2/1/2015 and 5/19/2017. Clinical data were retrieved from medical records, and chest imaging findings were documented. Survival data were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier estimates and compared with log-rank test.
Result:
A total of 38 primary lung cancer patients received oral apatinib as the third-line or beyond therapy at an initial dose of 250 mg (n=37) or 500 mg (n=1) per day. During treatment, tumor cavitation was developed in 20 of the 38 (52.6%) patients. No significant difference was observed between patients with and without cavity formation in age, gender, tumor histology, tumor stage, history of pulmonary surgery and apatinib typical adverse events. Cavity formation was accompanied with temporary increase in CEA value (65.0% vs. 5.6% in patients with and without cavitary lesions; P=0.0001). The progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with cavitary lesions was 11.25 (95% CI, 10.16-13.64) months, which was significantly longer compared with those without (6.11 [95% CI, 6.01-6.71] months; P<0.0001). Besides, patients with a temporary increase in CEA had a longer PFS than those without (10.64 [95% CI, 10.09-14.14] vs. 6.14 [95% CI, 6.07-8.13] months), but the difference was not significant (P=0.0703).
Conclusion:
Cavitation formation induced by apatinib is common in primary lung cancer patients, and is not correlated with age, gender, tumor histology, tumor stage, history of pulmonary surgery and common adverse events. Cavitation might have significant effects on the temporary increase in CEA value and PFS prognosis.

P3.03-018 - Tumor Cavitation in Lung Metastases in Patients with Solid Tumor Treated with Apatinib (ID 9694)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): N. Zhou
- Abstract
Background:
Apatinib, a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR-2, shows anti-angiogenesis effects in multiple solid tumors including lung cancer. Correlation between cavitation formation and outcome of some anti-angiogenic drugs is evaluated in patients with pulmonary cancer. However, the onset of cavitation in lung metastases in solid tumor patients following apatinib treatment has not been mentioned yet.
Method:
The clinical data of solid tumor patients with lung metastasis treated with apatinib in the Affiliated Hospital of Qiingdao University between 4/1/2015 and 6/17/2017 were collected from medical records, and chest imaging findings were documented. Survival data were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier estimates and compared with log-rank test.
Result:
Sixty-four eligible patients were identified (Table). The main primary tumor sites were stomach (n=23, 35.9%), colorectum (n=14, 21.9%) and liver (n=10, 15.6%). 93.8% patients received 250 mg/day of apatinib orally. Tumor cavitation formation in lung metastases occurred in 20 (31.3%) patients. None of these patients had preexisting cavity, which demonstrated that all cavitary lesions were developed during apatinib administration. There was no significant difference in age, gender, primary tumor site, histology and stage of lung metastases, history of pulmonary surgery and typical adverse events of apatinib between patients developed cavity or not. Compared with those without cavitary lesions, patients with cavitary showed higher rate of temporary increase in CEA (85.0% vs. 34.1%, P=0.0002) and longer progression-free survival (PFS; 15.44 [95% CI, 12.12-20.65] months vs. 6.71 [95% CI, 6.11-8.13] months, P<0.0001). However, patients with temporary increase in CEA showed longer but not significant PFS (11.15 [95% CI, 6.71-15.44] vs. 8.13 [95% CI, 6.31-15.57] months; P=0.3047).Table Baseline characteristics

Conclusion:
Cavitation development in lung metastases is accompanied with temporary elevation of CEA in patients treated with apatinib, and might be used as a potential biomarker for survival free of progression.
