OBJECTIVE Patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastatic to the brain are living longer. The risk of new brain metastases when these patients stop systemic therapy is unknown. The authors hypothesized that the risk of new brain metastases remains constant for as long as patients are off systemic therapy. METHODS A prospectively collected registry of patients undergoing radiosurgery for brain metastases was analyzed. Of 606 patients with NSCLC, 63 met the inclusion criteria of discontinuing systemic therapy for at least 90 days and undergoing active surveillance. The risk factors for the development of new tumors were determined using Cox proportional hazards and recurrent events models. RESULTS The median duration to new brain metastases off systemic therapy was 16.0 months. The probability of developing an additional new tumor at 6, 12, and 18 months was 26%, 40%, and 53%, respectively. There were no additional new tumors 22 months after stopping therapy. Patients who discontinued therapy due to intolerance or progression of the disease and those with mutations in RAS or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathways (e.g., KRAS, EGFR) were more likely to develop new tumors (hazard ratio [HR] 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33–3.81, p = 2.5 × 10−3; HR 2.51, 95% CI 1.45–4.34, p = 9.8 × 10−4, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The rate of new brain metastases from NSCLC in patients off systemic therapy decreases over time and is uncommon 2 years after cessation of cancer therapy. Patients who stop therapy due to toxicity or who have RAS or RTK pathway mutations have a higher rate of new metastases and should be followed more closely.

Abstract Purpose Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastatic to the brain increasingly are living longer due to improvements in systemic therapy and local modalities. The risk of new brain metastases when these patients stop systemic therapy is unknown. Recognizing patterns of new tumor occurrence is necessary to determine the frequency of follow-up and the need for further treatment. Methods We included patients in a prospective registry who had non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) brain metastases, discontinued systemic therapy for at least 90 days, and underwent active surveillance. 63 patients with 73 off-periods were studied. The risk factors for the development of new tumors were determined using Cox regression and multi-state Markov modeling. Results The median time to new brain metastases off systemic therapy was 16.0 months. The probability of developing an additional new tumor at 6, 12, and 18 months was 26%, 40%, and 53%, respectively. There were no additional new tumors 22 months after stopping therapy. Patients who discontinued therapy due to intolerance or progression of the disease and those with mutations in RAS or receptor tyrosine kinase pathways (e.g. KRAS, EGFR) were more likely to develop new tumors (HR: 2.21, 95% CI: 1.25–3.91, p=6.3 x 10–3; HR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.09–3.77, p=0.026, respectively). Conclusion The rate of new brain metastases from NSCLC in patients off systemic therapy decreases over time and is uncommon 2 years after cessation of cancer therapy. Patients who stop therapy due to toxicity or who have RAS or receptor tyrosine kinase pathway mutations have a higher rate of new metastases and should be followed more closely.

There is a paucity of biomarkers for the prediction of intracranial (IC) outcome in immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) with brain metastases (BM). We identified 280 NSCLC pts treated with ICIs at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden, and University Hospital of Heraklion, Greece. The inclusion criteria for response assessment were brain metastases (BM) prior to ICI administration, radiological evaluation with CT or MRI for IC response assessment, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors as monotherapy, and no local central nervous system (CNS) treatment modalities for ≥3 months before ICI initiation. In the IC response analysis, 33 pts were included. Non-primary (BM not present at diagnosis) BM, odds ratio (OR): 13.33 (95% CI: 1.424–124.880, p = 0.023); no previous brain radiation therapy (RT), OR: 5.49 (95% CI: 1.210–25.000, p = 0.027); and age ≥70 years, OR: 6.19 (95% CI: 1.27–30.170, p = 0.024) were associated with increased probability of IC disease progression. Two prognostic groups (immunotherapy (I-O) CNS score) were created based on the abovementioned parameters. The I-O CNS poor prognostic group B exhibited a higher probability for IC disease progression, OR: 27.50 (95% CI: 2.88–262.34, p = 0.004). Age, CNS radiotherapy before the start of ICI treatment, and primary brain metastatic disease can potentially affect the IC outcome of NSCLC pts with BM.
