7540 Background: EGFR mutational status is an important biomarker in advanced NSCLC patients. However, little is known about the frequency and clinical significance of the presence of EGFR mutation in patients with potentially curable locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC) eligible for definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Methods: Between Jan 2001 and Dec 2010, we conducted analysis for the presence of EGFR mutations, in consecutive NSCLC patients who were eligible for CRT. The response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), 2-year relapse-free rate, first relapse sites, and overall survival were investigated according to the EGFR mutational status. Results: A total of 528 patients received CRT at the National Cancer Center Hospital during the study period. Of these, 274 were diagnosed as having non-squamous NSCLC, and sufficient specimens for mutational analyses could be obtained from 145 patients. EGFR mutants (EGFR-mt) were found at a frequency of 18% in these patients. In addition to the well-known characteristics of NSCLC patients carrying EGFR mutations (female, adenocarcinoma, and never/ light smoker), the proportion of cases with smaller (T1/2) primary lesions was higher in patients with EGFR-mt than in those carrying wild-type EGFR (EGFR-wt). EGFR-mt showed a slightly better RR (85.7% vs. 72.9%), but similar median PFS (12.2 m vs. 10.6 m) and 2-year relapse free rates (23.8% vs. 29.2%) as compared to EGFR-wt. Local recurrence as first relapse occurred less frequently in EGFR-mt than in EGFR-wt (6% vs. 20%). After disease progression, a majority of EGFR-mt received EGFR-TKIs (62%), and these patients showed longer post-progression survival and a higher 5 year survival rate (60% vs. 40%) than EGFR-wt. Conclusions: Among the LA-NSCLC patients eligible for definitive CRT analyzed, 18% had EGFR- activating mutations. Although definitive CRT was similarly effective in both EGFR-mt and EGFR-wt, slightly better local control rate was noted in EGFR-mt. Treatment with EGFR-TKIs contributed to longer post-progression survival and overall survival in LA-NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations.

PURPOSE BIM activation is essential for epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)–triggered apoptosis in EGFR-mutant non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A deletion in the intron two of the BIM gene results in generation of alternatively spliced isoforms that impairs their apoptotic response to TKIs, conferring the NSCLC cells intrinsic resistance to these medications. Patients with both alterations have poor clinical evolution. The current study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of EGFR-TKIs plus bevacizumab (Bev) versus EGFR-TKIs alone as first-line treatment in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations and BIM deletions ( BIMdel). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted. BIMdel was detected using polymerase chain reaction analysis and direct sequencing of DNA. BIM protein expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry, and BIM mRNA levels by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Clinical characteristics, overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and treatment-related adverse events were compared between both groups. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were included; 15 received EGFR-TKIs, and 18 received EGFR-TKIs plus Bev. The median age was 63 years, with a majority of recruited female patients. All included individuals had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 2 or less. The addition of Bev resulted in a significantly higher ORR (94.4% v 40%, P > .001). Median PFS was longer with the use of the combination therapy (11.12 v 7.87 months; P = .001). Median overall survival tended to be longer in the EGFR-TKIs plus Bev (30.9 v 25.4 months; P = .06) but failed to reach statistical significance. Response in terms of both partial and complete as well as overall favorably affected PFS. CONCLUSION EGFR-TKIs plus Bev conferred a significantly higher ORR and PFS in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation and BIMdel. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.

9030 Background: Currently,EGFR-TKIs are widely accepted as the standard treatment for EGFR- mutant advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, acquired resistance is inevitable. Combination therapy is considered as a strategy to overcome the resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Anlotinib, a novel multi-targeting, small-molecule TKI, has shown active to suppress tumor angiogenesis and growth. However, there is still a lack of evidence supporting the use of EGFR-TKIs in combination with anlotinib for the treatment of NSCLC until now. A multi-center, single-arm, phase II clinical trial was therefore designed to examine the efficacy and safety of EGFR-TKIs combined with anlotinib for treatment-naïve, advanced NSCLC patients, and unravel the possible mechanisms. Methods: This study was conducted in 14 research centers in Fujian, China. The main eligibility criteria were stage IV or relapsed nonsquamous NSCLC with EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletion,, and L858R), ECOG score 0-2,and age 20 to 75 years and no previous systemic treatment. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastases were admitted.Eligible patients were given gefitinib (250 mg QD) or icotinib (125 mg TID) in combination with anlotinib (10 mg per day, on days 1‒14; 21 days per cycle) until disease progression. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) and safety, and the secondary endpoint is overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR).Peripheral blood was sampled pre-treatment, once every two months during treatment and after disease progression, and T790M mutation was detected in plasma ctDNA using a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay. Results: Of 60 patients enrolled (August 2, 2018 to May 28, 2020). As of February 1, 2021, 37 patients (61.7%) experienced PFS events and 10 (16.7%) died. The ORR was 78.3%, and the DCR was100%.Median PFS was 13.0 months (95%CI,10.7-15.3).The 5 most common treatment-related adverse events included rash (63.3%), fatigue (55.0%), hypertension (48.3%), diarrhea (33.3%) and hand-foot syndrome (30.0%), and grade 3 adverse events included hypertension (5.0%), rash (1.67%), hypertriglyceridemia (1.67%), vomiting (1.67%) and elevated ALT (1.67%); no grade 4 adverse events or drug-related deaths were observed. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 36 patients pre-treatment, and 30.6% were identified with low-frequency de novo T790M mutations, with the mutation-allele frequency (MAF) ranging from 0.01% to 0.28%. Conclusions: The combination of the first-generation EGFR-TKIs and anlotinib shows impressive ORR and DCR, and acceptable toxicity in treatment-naïve advanced NSCLC patients with activating EGFR mutations, and we observed a high proportion of patients harboring de novo EGFR T790M mutations in this study.

7559 Background: A total of 399 pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly assigned to receive gefitinib or icotinib in the phase III ICOGEN trial, the first head-to-head phase III trial of EGFR-TKIs. The results of the primary endpoint, PFS, have been reported previously. This report represents the final OS and biomarker analysis results. Methods: EGFR mutation was evaluated by using Scorpion ARMS (QIAGEN, n=152). Overall survival was analyzed by Cox proportional-hazards model analysis at 82% maturity. Results: Median OS was 13.3 months for icotinib and 13.9 months for gefitinib (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.90; 95% CI, 0.79 to 1.02; P = .109). The EGFR mutation rate was 43% in the icotinib group and 59% in the gefitinib group. Compared to wild type patients, patients with EGFR mutation had longer PFS (median, 6.2m vs. 2.3m; P=.00001) as well as OS (median, 20.5m vs. 7.7m; P=.00001). There were no significant differences in PFS or OS between the two treatment groups in EGFR mutation-positive subgroup (median PFS, 7.8m vs. 5.3m for icotinib and gefitinib, respectively, P =.3162; median OS, 20.9m vs. 20.2m for icotinib and gefitinib, respectively, P =.7611.) or in EGFR mutation-negative subgroup (median PFS, 2.3m vs. 2.2m for icotinib and gefitinib, respectively, P =.1531; median OS, 7.8m vs. 6.9m for icotinib and gefitinib, respectively, P =.7885.). Conclusions: There is no statistically significant difference between icotinib and gefitinib in PFS or OS when given to NSCLC patients. This suggests that icotinib can provide similar OS benefits to gefitinib in advanced NSCLC patients. Moreover, EGFR mutation status is the strongest predictor in identifying which patients are most likely to benefit from icotinib.

e20032 Background: Tumor tissue is currently used for EGFR testing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, but the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is being actively investigated as a new method for the detection and longitudinal monitoring of actionable mutations in plasma samples. Around 30% patients with EGFR mutation presented inconsistent status of EGFR mutation between in tissues and plasma. We compared EGFR mutation detection in circulating tumor DNA from blood to that in matched tissue. Methods: EGFR mutation status were assessed by the Human EGFR Gene Mutations Detection Kit (Beijing ACCB Biotech Ltd.) both in tissue and plasma. Retrospective analysis to evaluate the concordance of tissue and plasma EGFR determination for assessing eligibility for EGFR-TKIs therapy in NSCLC patients. 10 mL tubes of blood were collected from patients who never had been treated by EGFR TKI, and plasma circulating tumor DNA were extracted from plasma by Biomark Circulating DNA Kit. Qubit2.0 Fluorometer was used to make plasma circulating DNA tumor quantitation. The concentration of final DNA sample is ≦2ng/μl. Results: A total of 224 NSCLC patients were detected by Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS), with 92 tissue positive and 49 blood positive. Results showed 53.3% sensitivity in overall samples, but 81.4% sensitivity in ⅢB~Ⅲ patients. The specificity is 100%. Conclusions: The high sensitivity and specificity between tissue and plasma EGFR determination supports the blood-based EGFR mutation testing to determinate the eligibility of NSCLC patients for EGFR-TKIs treatment, especialy in ⅢB~Ⅲ NSCLC patients. Blood, in particular plasma, is a good screening substitute when tumor tissue is absent or insufficient for testing EGFR mutations to guide EGFR TKIs treatment in patients with NSCLC. EGFR mutation positivity in blood could be used to recommend EGFR TKIs treatment, but the blood negativity should be confirmed with other sample, biopsy tissue, pleural effusion, etc..

e21641 Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the gold standard 1st line strategy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutations (EGFRm), associated with improved survival outcomes and quality of life compared to chemotherapy. Despite the high response rate with first- and second- generation TKIs, most patients develop resistance to treatment and progress. The acquisition of T790M mutation in exon 20 is considered the most common resistance mechanism. This study aims to investigate the molecular epidemiology of EGFR resistance mutations, focusing on T790M in EGFRm NSCLC patients treated with TKIs. Methods: The study included patients with locally advanced/metastatic EGFRm NSCLC who have progressed on or after 1st line treatment with first- or second- generation TKI. Samples either from plasma-based liquid biopsy and/or tissue re-biopsy were analysed using the Cobas EGFR Mutation Test v2. All patients signed informed consent and were enrolled between July 2017 and September 2019. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS software, Version 9.4. Results: Ninety-six eligible patients were enrolled. At the time of progression, T790M mutation was detected in 16.7%of the patients using plasma-based liquid biopsies. Among patients with negative T790M result, in plasma, tissue re-biopsy was performed in 22,7% with evaluable/valid results in 72.2% of them. T790M mutation was identified in 38.5% of re-biopsy samples. According to Cobas EGFR Mutation test results (combined plasma and tissue), T790M mutation was identified in 21.9% of the patients. Of T790M-positive patients 42.9% had previously received first and 57.1% second generation EGFR-TKI. Conclusions: Results from this study in real world clinical setting in Greece, show that EGFR-T790M acquired resistance positivity rate in plasma is lower compared to previous reports. Moreover, these data underline the challenges of implementing precision medicine using tissue re-biopsy in advanced/metastatic NSCLC. Clinical trial information: D133FR00126. [Table: see text]

8078 Background: The progression patterns at RECIST PD during EGFR-TKIs in advanced NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation are clinically heterogeneous. The aim of this study is to evaluate progression patterns at RECIST PD during EGFR-TKIs in advanced NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation. Methods: From 2008 to 2012, 160 consecutive patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation were treated with EGFR-TKIs (erlotinib or gefitinib) at our institution. Among these patients, 104 patients who experienced RECIST PD assessed by radiologic findings were retrospectively evaluated for initial response on EGFR-TKIs, progression sites, focus of progression (solitary lesion or multiple lesions), patients status at RECIST PD, and post progression survival (PPS) from RECIST PD. Results: In 104 patients, 96 (92%) patients had EGFR major mutation (Exon 19 deletion and L858R), and 49 (47%) received EGFR-TKIs as first-line. The overall response rate and median progression free survival on EGFR-TKIs was 69 % and 8.2 months. At the time of RECIST PD, 44 (42%) patients had symptomatic, and 60 (58%) had asymptomatic. The progression sites were isolated CNS in 17 (16%) patients, isolated bone in 7 (7%), isolated pulmonary in 13 (12%), systemic in 67 (65%) patients. In the focus of progression, 24 (23%) patients have solitary lesion, and 80 (77%) have multiple lesions. After RECIST PD, 40 (38%) patients continued EGFR-TKIs, 25 (24%) were switched to cytotoxic agents, and 39 (38%) had best supportive care. 10 (10%) patients received local radiotherapy for isolated progression site (brain 6; bone 3; lung 1) and 8 of these patients continued EGFR-TKIs. The median PPS from RECIST PD was 10.6 months. Multivariate analysis identified that asymptomatic or solitary progression lesion at RECIST PD were associated with significantly longer PPS (asymptomatic: HR 0.34, 95% CI 0.19-0.58, P<0.001; solitary progression lesion: HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.16-83, P=0.013). Conclusions: The progression patterns at RECIST PD during EGFR-TKIs in advanced NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation have widely diversity. Further investigation for association between progression patterns at RECIST PD and clinical outcome after RECIST PD is warranted.

e21099 Background: Liver metastasis is one of the most reasons for the poor prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer. Seeking for active and effective treatment measures is very important for these patients. At present, the first-line standard treatment of the advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation is EGFR-TKIs monotherapy. However, its efficacy is poor in the advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutation and liver metastases. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR mutation of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with liver metastases. Methods: The clinical data of a total of 384 advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation positive who were admitted to The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University/Henan Cancer Hospital from February 2017 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 75 patients with liver metastases. Patients were divided into two groups, and accepted EGFR-TKIs monotherapy or EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy, respectively. All patients treatment response were evaluated by the RECIST1.1 Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors.Progression free-survival (PFS) were also analyzed. Results: In the study, 75 patients were finally screened. There were 37 patients in the EGFR-TKIs monotherapy group and 38 patients in the TKI plus chemotherapy group. The median follow-up time was 23.0 months. At the latest follow-up date (2021-01-01), 57 patients had disease progression and 35 patients had died. Comparing with EGFR-TKIs monotherapy,the first-line PFS of EGFR-TKI plus chemotherapy group was longer, and the median PFS was 12.7 months VS 7.4 months (P = 0.018).The ORR of primary lung lesions was no significant difference between these two groups(65.8%VS 51.4% P = 0.204), and DCR (97.4% VS 94.6% P = 0.981) also had no difference between two groups(P > 0.05). ORR of liver metastases in the EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy group was significantly higher than EGFR-TKIs monotherapy group ORR (65.8%VS 40.5%,P = 0.028). Conclusions: In advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation and liver metastases, comparing with EGFR-TKIs monotherapy, taking EGFR-TKIs plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment had longer PFS, and better efficacy on liver lesions.
