17138 Background: The objective of the study is to determine if the switch to a gemcitabin (G) and irinotecan (I) is efficient after low efficacy of a docetaxel (D) and cisplatin (C) regimen for advenced non small cells carcinoma (NSCLC). Methods: Eligible patients were above 18 years old and under 75, with stage IIIb or IV NSCLC. No previously chemotherapy, WHO = 0, 1, 2 under 60 and WHO = 0, 1 under 60. mesurable target. Treatment D and C = 75 mg/m2 were given wekks 1, 4 and 7. After evaluation on week 10: in case of objective response 3 more cycles of DC were administred, if not a switch was performed with G 1000 mg/m2 and I 100 mg/m2 given as 90 minutes infusion J1-J8 every 3 weeks before a new evaluation after 3 cycles. Results: 21 patients entered the study, median age 57 (37–74). Stage IIIb = 8, IV = 13. Efficacy: we observed 8 patients with objective response (38%). Among 13 patients without an objective response after 3 DC only 4 patients received the switch treatment of GI. We found no new objective respons among them. Conclusions: For non responsive NSCLC patients to docetaxel-cisplatin regimen the treatment by gemcitabin-irinotecan does not seem relevant. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e21691 Background: Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody has been approved as first- or second-line therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and modified the management of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. However, anti-PD-1 treatment shows less effective in patients with EGFR mutation than in those without driver gene mutation. To determine the activity of anti-PD-1 antibody in EGFR mutant NSCLC, we retrospectively evaluated response patterns among EGFR mutant NSCLC patients. Methods: We identified 58 patients with EGFR mutation who were treated with anti-PD-1 monotherapy or anti-PD-1 antibody combined with chemotherapy from March 2018 to December 2019. All of patients have received more than one treatment regimen including EGFR-TKI treatment. Objective response rates (ORR) were assessed using RECIST v1.1. Results: A total of 58 patients including 53 cases of lung adenocarcinoma, 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 1 case of adenosquamous carcinoma were analyzed. Among them 26 patients received nivolumab treatment, 9 patients with pembrolizumab treatment, 9 patients with sintilimab treatment, 8 patients with JS001 treatment and 6 patients with camrelizumab treatment. Seven patients received anti-PD-1 monotherapy and the other 51 patients received anti-PD-1 combined chemotherapy. The main chemotherapeutic drugs contain docetaxel, pemetrexed, paclitaxel and paclitaxel-albumin. ORR was observed in 6 out of 58 (10%) patients. The disease control rate was 50% (29/58). The median PFS was 2.82 months. All six patients who achieved PR were received anti-PD-1 combined chemotherapy. Four patients died during treatment with anti-PD-1 therapy and we can’t confirm if these were due to cancer progress or immune related tumor hyperprogression. The adverse events were immune related pneumonia (two cases with grade 2 and one case with grade 3) and immune related hepatitis (one case with grade 2). Conclusions: Anti-PD-1 antibody combined chemotherapy seems showed moderate effect on NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation who have received anti-EGFR therapy.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of death worldwide. The upregulation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) due to mutations has been observed in a number of cancers, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and erlotinib, which specifically target EGFR signaling, have been used to treat NSCLC patients. The presence of EGFR mutations was previously shown to confer sensitivity to TKIs. In this study, we evaluated the correlation between EGFR mutations and response to erlotinib in Chinese NSCLC patients. We recruited 36 patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who had failed first-line chemotherapy, and treated them with erlotinib. We used immunohistochemistry to determine EGFR expression, and we screened for mutations using PCR analysis. We used Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves for survival analysis. We found that 8 patients had exon 19 mutations, while 3 patients had exon 21 mutations. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) grade of 2 was a significant negative predictor of overall survival (OS). Patients with EGFR mutations showed a significantly better OS compared to those without EGFR mutations. Additionally, multivariate analysis showed that erlotinib-treated stage IV patients had a significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) compared to stage IIIB patients. Patients with EGFR mutations also had a significantly better PFS compared to those without EGFR mutations. The overall remission rate (22.2%) and disease control rate (75%) were significantly higher compared to the rates after second-line chemotherapy (<10%). In conclusion, the presence of EGFR mutations could be a marker to predict the therapeutic efficacy of erlotinib and the prognosis in Chinese NSCLC patients.

92 Background: Nivolumab (BMS-936558/ONO-4538), a fully human IgG4, PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor antibody, has shown durable clinical activity in several tumor types. Recently, two phase III studies (CheckMate-017 and -057) demonstrated that nivolumab improved overall survival (OS) than docetaxel in second-line of squamous (SQ) and non-squamous (NSQ) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), respectively. Here, we report the results of a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in Korean patients (pts) with previously treated advanced SQ and NSQ NSCLC. Methods: This study requires pts aged ≥ 20 years with ECOG Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1, stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC and at least one prior chemotherapy including platinum containing regimen. Pts received nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV Q2W until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint in this study was the objective response rate (ORR) (RECIST v1.1). Results: Nivolumab was administered to 100 NSCLC pts (SQ: 44, NSQ: 56), male/female: 78 (SQ: 44, NSQ: 34)/22 (SQ: 0, NSQ: 22); PS 0/1: 14 (SQ: 6, NSQ: 8)/86 (SQ: 38, NSQ: 48); aged 29 to 80 [median: 66.5] years (SQ: 40 to 80 [median: 69.5], NSQ: 29 to 77 [median: 63.5]); Stage IIIB/IV/recurrence: 6 (SQ: 5, NSQ: 1)/91 (SQ: 37, NSQ: 54)/3 (SQ: 2, NSQ: 1)). In SQ and NSQ NSCLC, ORR was 15.9% (7/44) and 23.2% (13/56), respectively. Median progression-free survival was 2.6 mo and 5.3 mo, respectively. Complete Response was observed in 2.3% (1/44) and 1.8% (1/56), respectively. Median OS was 12.3 mo and 16.3 mo, respectively. Median follow-up was 8.9 mo and 12.3 mo, respectively. Most common adverse drug reaction (ADR) was decreased appetite 15.9% (7/44), followed by pyrexia 9.1% (4/44) in SQ NSCLC, and decreased appetite 12.5% (7/56), followed by pruritus 10.7% (6/56), fatigue 8.9% (5/56), pyrexia 5.4% (3/56) and nausea 5.4% (3/56) in NSQ NSCLC. Grade 3-4 ADR was observed in 6.8% (3/44) and 10.7% (6/56) of SQ and NSQ NSCLC, respectively. No interstitial lung disease and no grade 5 ADRs were observed in this study. Conclusions: Nivolumab was considered to be effective and used safely in Korean pts with SQ and NSQ NSCLC as well as in non-Korean pts with SQ and NSQ NSCLC. Clinical trial information: NCT02175017.

In recent years, a number of novel agents have been investigated that target specific molecular pathways in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A great deal of effort has been focused on identifying specific markers that predict treatment response, given that a tailored approach would maximize both the therapeutic index and the cost-effectiveness. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway has emerged as a key regulator of cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and several specific EGFR inhibitors have been examined. Gefitinib and erlotinib are selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), demonstrating good results in selected cases both in terms of objective response rate and of overall survival. At present, EGFR gene mutations are the best positive predictive factors for TKI therapy, and a number of other potential biomarkers are being investigated as additional positive or negative predictors of response. The correct selection of patients that could benefit from these innovative therapies, based on an accurate molecular characterization, is mandatory to provide the best clinical management. Currently, the main factor limiting the characterization of metastatic NSCLC patients is the small quantity of tumor cells available for molecular analysis. In this paper we provide an overview of the most important molecular predictive markers for EGFR-TKIs therapy in NSCLC patients, and focus attention on biological samples suitable for analysis and alternative sampling approaches such as plasma- or serum-derived DNA.
