7537 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy is the standard of care for completely resected stage 2-3 non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). A few trials suggest neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a promising mode for resectable NSCLC. Indirect comparison meta-analysis of adjuvant versus neoadjuvant therapy showed no difference in survival. This study was conducted to determine whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy prolongs disease-free survival among patients with resectable NSCLC. Methods: Patients with clinical stage IB-IIIA NSCLC were eligible. Patients were randomly assigned to 3 cycles of neoadjuvant DC (Docetaxel: 75mg/m2, Carboplatin :AUC=5 on day 1 every 3wk),followed by surgery 3-6 wk after chemotherapy, or surgery followed by 3 cycles of adjuvant DC at the same schedule. The primary end point was 3 years Disease Free Survival(DFS); secondary end points were 3 years Overall Survival rate (OS) and Safety. Planned sample size is 410. Results: Between March 2006 and May 2011, 198 patients have been accrued, 97 in the neoadjuvant arm, 101 in the adjuvant arm. The neoadjuvant arm had more patients received chemotherapy( 100% v.s 85.1%, P<0.001 ) and received 3 cycles( 91.8% v.s82.6%, P=0.061) than adjuvant arm. Both arms are well tolerated to DC chemotherapy. The most common grade 3/4 adverse event is neutropenia (41.2% with neoadjuvant arm v.s 31.7% with adjuvant arm). One chemotherapy related death in adjuvant arm. One patient die of perioperative pulmonary embolism in neoadjuvant arm. No difference in peri-operative complication between two arms. The 3 years DFS was 45% in the neoadjuvant arm and 53% in the adjuvant arm, HR=0.88 (0.58-1.33), P=0.54. Median survival has not been reached in both arms. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus carboplatin in resectable clinical stage IB-IIIA NSCLC is feasible and safe. Preliminary results show similar 3 years DFS in both arms. The OS data has not matured in both arms. Clinical trial information: NCT00321334.

Purpose The survival benefit with adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resected stage II-III non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is modest. Efforts to develop prognostic or predictive biomarkers in these patients have not yielded clinically useful tests. We report findings from the Lung Adjuvant Cisplatin Evaluation (LACE)-Bio-II study, in which we analyzed next-generation sequencing and long-term outcomes data from > 900 patients with early-stage NSCLC treated prospectively in adjuvant landmark clinical trials. We used a targeted gene panel to assess the prognostic and predictive effect of mutations in individual genes, DNA repair pathways, and tumor mutation burden (TMB). Methods A total of 908 unmatched, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, resected lung cancer tumor specimens were sequenced using a targeted panel of 1,538 genes. Stringent filtering criteria were applied to exclude germline variants and artifacts related to formalin fixation. Disease-free survival, overall survival, and lung cancer—specific survival (LCSS) were assessed in Cox models stratified by trial and adjusted for treatment, age, sex, performance score, histology, type of surgery, and stage. Results Nonsynonymous mutations were identified in 1,515 genes in 908 tumor samples. High nonsynonymous TMB (> 8 mutations/Mb) was prognostic for favorable outcomes (ie, overall survival, disease-free survival, and LCSS) in patients with resected NSCLC. LCSS benefit with adjuvant chemotherapy was more pronounced in patients with low nonsynonymous TMBs (≤ 4 mutations/Mb). Presence of mutations in DNA repair pathways, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, TP53 alteration subtype, and intratumor heterogeneity was neither prognostic nor predictive. Statistically significant effect of mutations in individual genes was difficult to determine due to high false-discovery rates. Conclusion High nonsynonymous TMB was associated with a better prognosis in patients with resected NSCLC. In addition, the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy on LCSS was more pronounced in patients with low nonsynonymous TMBs. Studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

e12033 Background: Pakistan has the highest rate of breast cancer for any South Asian population and majority of the patients present with locally advanced or metastatic disease. We report on response and survival of primary locally advanced non-metastatic breast cancer in women treated with neoadjuvant Adriamycin/Taxanes (AT) based regimens at our institute. Methods: Between 1995 to 2009 the hospital information system identified 517 women with pathologically confirmed locally advanced breast cancer. All patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with AT based regimen followed by surgery. Median age was 43 years (range 17-71 years). AJCC stage; stage II 54% and stage III 46% of the patients. Axillary nodes were palpable in 72% of the patients at presentation. Histological sub-types; infiltrating ductal carcinoma 95%, infiltrating lobular carcinoma 3% and others 2% respectively. Pathological grade was I/II in 44% and grade III 56% of the patients. ER, PR, and Her2-neu receptors were positive in 44%, 40% and 24% of the patients respectively. Twenty one percent of the patients had triple negative breast cancer. Post operative radiotherapy was delivered to 94% of the patients. Patients with positive ER/PR receptors also received hormonal manipulation. Results: Following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, pathological response was; complete response (CR) 13.5%, partial response 21%, stable disease 52% and progressive disease in 13% of the patients respectively. Breast conservation was possible in 36% of the patients. The 5 year disease free survival in patients with and without CR was 81% and 36% respectively. On multivariate analysis, T stage (p = 0.001) and response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.001) were found to be independent predictors for disease free survival. Conclusions: Pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a predictor of long term survival. Chemotherapy regimens with high response rates merit evaluation in randomized trials to improve outcome in locally advanced breast cancer.

Background. The impact of postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to identify the patients who may benefit from PMRT. Methods. We retrospectively analysed patients with clinical stage II-III breast cancer who underwent NAC and modified radical mastectomy at our centre from 2007 to 2015. We investigated the relationship amongst locoregional recurrence rate (LRR), disease-free survival (DFS), and clinical pathological characters. Results. A total of 554 patients were analysed in this study. The median follow-up time was 65 months. Amongst the patients, 58 (10.5%) had locoregional recurrence, 138 (24.9%) had distant metastasis, and 72 (13.0%) patients died. The 5-year cumulative incidence of LRR and DFS was 9.2% and 74.2%, respectively. A total of 399 (72%) patients received PMRT and 155 (28%) did not. The 5-year LRR of the patients with PMRT (7.3% vs. 14.1%, P = 0.01 ) decreased significantly. We found that PMRT was an independent prognostic factor of LRR and DFS. Patients with the persistent involvement of 1–3 lymph nodes (ypN1) and more than 4 positive lymph nodes (ypN2-3) had a better outcome after PMRT than those without. However, the LRR and DFS of patients with negative lymph nodes at the time of surgery (ypN0) and who received PMRT showed no significant benefits. Amongst all patients with the three molecular subtypes of breast cancer, patients with triple-negative breast cancer had the highest pathological complete response rate but the worst prognosis ( P = 0.001 ). Conclusion. Results showed that PMRT significantly reduced the LRR of patients with clinical stage II-III breast cancer after receiving NAC and mastectomy. YpN0 patients derived no local control or survival benefit after receiving PMRT, whereas those with ypN1 and ypN2-3 could obviously benefit from PMRT.

The current study examined the histology-specific impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with a taxane/platinum regimen on survival in women with locally-advanced cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy. This nation-wide retrospective cohort study examined women with clinical stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer who received NACT prior to radical hysterectomy from 2004–2008 (n = 684). NACT type (taxane/platinum versus others) was correlated with survival based on histology: 511 squamous versus 173 non-squamous. Taxane/platinum chemotherapy use was more common in non-squamous compared to squamous tumors (53.8% versus 20.7%, P < 0.001). In both histology types, the taxane/platinum regimen was more frequently utilized over time (both, P < 0.01). Among squamous tumors, women who received taxane/platinum chemotherapy had survival comparable to those who received other regimens: 5-year rates for disease-free survival, 69.0% versus 70.1%, P = 0.98; and cause-specific survival, 80.0% versus 81.0%, P = 0.93. Similarly, in non-squamous tumors, disease-free survival (5-year rates: 60.4% versus 59.0%, P = 0.86) and cause-specific survival (74.7% versus 76.3%, P = 0.70) were similar. In conclusion, use of taxane/platinum regimens for NACT significantly increased during the study period. Irrespective of histology type, in women with clinical stage IB2-IIB cervical cancer who underwent NACT prior to radical hysterectomy, taxane/platinum regimens had a similar effect on survival compared to non-taxane/platinum regimens.

Purpose Our previous work evaluated individual prognostic and predictive roles of TP53, KRAS, and EGFR in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this analysis, we explore the prognostic and predictive roles of TP53/KRAS and TP53/EGFR comutations in randomized trials of adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation. Patients and Methods Mutation analyses (wild-type [WT] and mutant) for TP53, KRAS, and EGFR were determined in blinded fashion in multiple laboratories. Primary and secondary end points of pooled analysis were overall survival and disease-free survival. We evaluated the role of TP53/KRAS comutation in all patients and in the adenocarcinoma subgroup as well as the TP53/EGFR comutation in adenocarcinoma only through a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model stratified by trial. Results Of 3,533 patients with NSCLC, 1,181 (557 deaths) and 404 (170 deaths) were used for TP53/KRAS and TP53/EGFR analyses. For TP53/KRAS mutation status, no prognostic effect was observed ( P = .61), whereas a borderline predictive effect ( P = .04) was observed with a deleterious effect of chemotherapy with TP53/KRAS comutations versus WT/WT (hazard ratio, 2.49 [95% CI, 1.10 to 5.64]; P = .03). TP53/EGFR comutation in adenocarcinoma was neither prognostic ( P = .83), nor significantly predictive ( P = .86). Similar results were observed for both groups for disease-free survival. Conclusion We could identify no prognostic effect of the KRAS or EGFR driver and TP53 tumor suppressor comutation. Our observation of a potential negative predictive effect of TP53/KRAS comutation requires validation.

TPS6094 Background: Cervical cancer is one of the common gynecologic cancer and the incidence of invasive cervical cancer has increased over the past few decades, particularly in younger women. The standard treatment for stage IB to IIB cervical cancer is a radical hysterectomy. In Japan, more than 80% of institutions, radical hysterectomy is chosen as the primary treatment for patients with stage IB1 and IIA1 cervical cancer. Patients with high-risk factors would be recommend adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, adjuvant CCRT might not reduce distant metastasis and might cause of severe gastrointestinal and urinal toxicity. To avoid those adverse events of adjuvant CCRT, many Japanese gynecologic oncologists perform chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy. In the first multi-institutional phase II trial conducted in stage IB-IIA cervical cancer with pelvic lymph node metastasis (JGOG1067), we found a 5-years disease free-survival rate of 86.5%, suggesting the adjuvant chemotherapy had promising efficacy and would be feasible for a long time. No prospective study reported that adjuvant chemotherapy would improve overall survival in patients with the high-risk cervical cancer. Methods: High risk stage IB-IIB cervical cancer patients who underwent radical hysterectomy are eligible for the study. Patients with high risk are defined as those with pelvic lymph-node metastasis and/or parametrial invasion. Patents with SCC, adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous cell carcinoma are eligible for the study. After providing informed consent, patients are randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive CCRT or chemotherapy. Randomization is stratified by the faculty, FIGO stage, and pathological subtype (SCC or non-SCC). Treatment have to be started within 6 weeks after surgery. CCRT group is given whole pelvis irradiation 50.4Gy and cisplatin (40mg/m2/week). Chemotherapy group is given paclitaxel (175mg/m2) plus cisplatin (50mg/m2) or paclitaxel (175mg/m2) plus carboplatin(AUC of 6). The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints are disease free survival (DFS), adverse events and QOL. This study began in November 2019 and a total of 290 patients will be accrued within 5 years. The study is coordinated by of the JGOG cervical cancer committee. Clinical trial information: 041190042.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Major pathological response (MPR) is prognostic of outcomes for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and is used as the primary end point in neoadjuvant immunotherapy trials. We studied the influence of pathological nodal disease on patterns and timing of recurrence among patients with MPR. METHODS Patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stages I–III non-small-cell lung cancer were identified. Surgical specimens were histopathologically examined for tumour viability, categorized as ≤10% viability (MPR) or &gt;10% (NoMPR). Overall survival and disease-free survival were evaluated with emphasis upon MPR and pathological nodal disease. RESULTS Among 307 patients, 58 (19%) had MPR within primary tumour and 42 (14%) had MPRypN0. In the MPR group, the frequency of cN0 and cN+ disease was 18 (31%) and 40 (69%); similarly, the frequency of ypN0, ypN1 and ypN2 was 72% (42/58), 16% (9/58) and 12% (7/58), respectively. When evaluating only those with MPR, recurrence rates among those with MPRypN0, MPRypN1 and MPRypN2 were 33% (14/42), 44% (4/9) and 71% (5/7) (P = 0.16). The median time-to-recurrence in MPRypN0, MPRypN1 and MPRypN2 was 40, 10 and 14 months (P = 0.006). Distant recurrences were less common among those with MPRypN0 [MPRypN0, 26% (11/42); MPRypN1, 44% (4/9); MPRypN2, 71% (5/7); P = 0.047]. Though the median disease-free survival was prolonged among those with MPR vs NoMPR (120 vs 25 months, P &lt; 0.0001), only those with MPRypN0 had prolonged disease-free survival in comparison to other groups upon pairwise comparisons, while MPRypN+ experienced no benefit. CONCLUSIONS MPRypN0 represents the most favourable surrogate end point following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with ypN1-2 are at the risk of early recurrence regardless of primary tumour MPR, warranting intensive surveillance and consideration for additional adjuvant therapy. We highlight that MPRypN0 is the most rigorous end point and should be considered as a surrogate end point in future neoadjuvant trials.

Purpose To address whether preoperative chemotherapy plus surgery or surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy prolongs disease-free survival compared with surgery alone among patients with resectable non–small-cell lung cancer. Patients and Methods In this phase III trial, 624 patients with stage IA (tumor size > 2 cm), IB, II, or T3N1 were randomly assigned to surgery alone (212 patients), three cycles of preoperative paclitaxel-carboplatin followed by surgery (201 patients), or surgery followed by three cycles of adjuvant paclitaxel-carboplatin (211 patients). The primary end point was disease-free survival. Results In the preoperative arm, 97% of patients started the planned chemotherapy, and radiologic response rate was 53.3%. In the adjuvant arm, 66.2% started the planned chemotherapy. Ninety-four percent of patients underwent surgery; surgical procedures and postoperative mortality were similar across the three arms. Patients in the preoperative arm had a nonsignificant trend toward longer disease-free survival than those assigned to surgery alone (5-year disease-free survival 38.3% v 34.1%; hazard ratio [HR] for progression or death, 0.92; P = .176). Five-year disease-free survival rates were 36.6% in the adjuvant arm versus 34.1% in the surgery arm (HR 0.96; P = .74). Conclusion In early-stage patients, no statistically significant differences in disease-free survival were found with the addition of preoperative or adjuvant chemotherapy to surgery. In this trial, in which the treatment decision was made before surgery, more patients were able to receive preoperative than adjuvant treatment.
