3055 Background: Acquired ALK resistance mutations (mut.) are the main mechanism of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance (30-50%). While next-generation TKIs are more active on mut. than earlier TKIs, compound ALK resistance are associated with failure to next-generation TKIs. We evaluated the clinical utility of detecting ALK resistance mutations in blood to predict TKI efficacy. Methods: ALK positive advanced NSCLC pts were prospectively enrolled between Oct. 2015 and Aug. 2018 in 8 French institutions. Prospective samples were collected; ctDNA was analyzed by amplicon-based Inivata InVisionFirst-Lung. Results: A total of 101 pts with advanced ALK positive NSCLC were enrolled and 328 samples collected. In samples collected at TKI failure (N=74), we detected 9 single and 7 complex (≥2) ALK resistance mut. (22%), associated with EML4-ALK variant 3 (38%) vs. variant 2 (13%) vs. variant 1 (none); 30% had other somatic mut. (mainly TP53 and KRAS, PI3KCA, MET, etc.). No mutations were detected in 48% of samples (ctDNA neg). ALK mut. were more frequent after 2nd/3rd generation TKI (43% post-lorlatinib (7), 29% post-2nd gen. (31), 11% post-crizotinib (36)). ALKG1202R was the most common, as single (n=3) or complex mut. (n=4). The median overall survival (mOS) was 100.4 mo. (95% CI 41.9-158.9) and the median progression free-survival (mPFS) to subsequent line was 2.8 mo. (0.7-4.9). Patients with ctDNA neg had mOS of 105 mo. (39.3-172.1) vs. 58.5 mo. (33.1-84.0) if ≥1 ALK mut. vs. 44.1 mo. (20.0-68.2) if others ( P=0.001). Pts with the complex ALK mut. had worse OS compared to singles ALK mut. (mOS 26.9 mo. vs. 58.5 mo., P=0.001); ALK complex mut. were associated with poor efficacy to subsequent therapy (PFS <3 mo. in 57%; no cases with PFS >6 mo.) vs. single mut., with longer PFS (PFS >6 mo. in 56%). Detectable ALKG1202R mut. were associated with shorter median OS (58.3 mo.; 7.9-109.1) vs. overall population; 86% of cases developed rapid PD (PFS <3mo.) to subsequent therapy with only one durable response to lorlatinib (PFS >6mo.). Conclusions: The absence of ctDNA mutations at TKI failure was associated with prolonged OS, whereas complex ALK mutations at TKI failure may predict resistance to subsequent therapy. Larger and specifically designed studies should be performed to validate these findings.

The treatment approach to advanced, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) utilizing sequential ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) represents a paradigm of precision oncology. Lorlatinib is currently the most advanced, potent and selective ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in the clinic. However, tumors invariably acquire resistance to lorlatinib, and after sequential ALK TKIs culminating with lorlatinib, diverse refractory compound ALK mutations can emerge. Here, we determine the spectrum of lorlatinib-resistant compound ALK mutations identified in patients after treatment with lorlatinib, the majority of which involve ALK G1202R or I1171N/S/T. By assessing a panel of lorlatinib analogs against compound ALK mutant in vitro and in vivo models, we identify structurally diverse lorlatinib analogs that harbor differential selective profiles against G1202R- versus I1171N/S/T-based compound ALK mutations. Structural analysis revealed that increased potency against compound mutations was achieved primarily through two different mechanisms of improved targeting of either G1202R- or I1171N/S/T-mutant kinases. Based on these results, we propose a classification of heterogenous ALK compound mutations designed to focus the development of distinct therapeutic strategies for precision targeting of compound resistance mutations following sequential TKIs.

Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common tumor of the kidney. Considering the TNM classification of 2009, locally advanced and metastatic diseases are included in the groups stage III and IV. The surgical treatment of these tumors could be divided into 3 categories: (1) curative (nephrectomy and/or metastasectomy), (2) cytoreductive, and (3) palliative. Targeted agents showed impressive antitumor efficacy and prolongation of progression-free survival. The integration between target therapy and surgery in patients with locally advanced or metastatic RCC has sometimes facilitated surgery. We aimed to evaluate patients’ response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and the feasibility of surgery after that and to observe complications related to surgery. Methods: From February 2007 to September 2014 in the Istituto Tumori of Milan, IRCCS, we selected patients with locally advanced or metastatic diseases, treated with target therapy before surgery (which comprised nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy, cytoreductive surgery, and metastasectomy) and cryoablation. Results: We selected 33 patients who underwent surgery after TKI therapy. As for response to TKIs, 20 patients (60%) had stable disease, 9 patients (28%) had a partial response, and 4 patients (12%) had progressive disease. A total of 17 patients (51%) presented complications directly or indirectly related to surgery and most of those were classified as grade II Clavien-Dindo score. Conclusions: The association between TKI and surgery seems to have no contraindications. Our dataset provides an example of how surgery after TKI is possible in locally advanced metastatic tumor and does not have an excessive rate of postoperative complications.

The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the treatment of solid tumors is the expected standard of care for many types of tumors. Since the description of signal transduction pathways, followed by the development of small molecules designed to inhibit those pathways, there has been significant improvement not only in progression-free survival and overall survival but also in aiming toward chemotherapy-free treatment of solid tumors to maximize quality of life. This article reviews available TKIs and discusses toxicity, dosing, and resistance.

224 Background: Stromal tumors of the digestive tract are uncommon malignant diseases, and are subclassified as leiomyosarcomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) depending on the molecular expression of CD117 (KIT). GISTs represent 1% of malignant tumors affecting this anatomical site. Located diseases are reasonably well controlled by surgical resection and several criteria define the need for adjuvant therapy. In the case of metastatic disease a poor prognosis has been reported with systemic treatment based on chemotherapy. Recently, significant advances have been shown since Tyrosine – kinase inhibitors were introduced, with median overall survival close to 5 years. Unfortunately in Mexico, even though the therapy has been long used there are no published data of the experience in the treatment of these tumors. Methods: We used an electronic data base to obtain clinical, radiological and histological data of patients diagnosed with GIST and treated in the oncological center of the Mexican Institute of Social Security, patients were subclassified by stage, symptoms at diagnosis as well as the initial and subsequent systemic treatment. Finally we made an analysis for progression free survival and overall survival identifying prognostic factors. Results: We obtained information of 71 patients with metastatic, nonresectable or recurrent GIST, treated with a TKI, we observed a predominant relation for women (60.4%), with median age of 58 years. Stage at diagnosis was predominantly metastatic (46.5%) most frequently affected sites were lung, liver and retroperitoneum. Median progression free survival was 23.6m and overall survival was 81.3 months. All patients were initially treated with imatinib at a dose of 400mg per day. Treatment was well tolerated in most cases. Conclusions: Metastatic GIST evaluated in our center shows a different affection in gender and age, our population shows a different response to TKI’s, than reported in other series with superior overall survival, Poor prognosis is associated with lung affection. Biological studies will be started for the molecular evaluation of these tumors.

9031 Background: The secondary T790M mutation accounts for more than 50% of acquired tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant NSCLC patients. Recent reports suggest this resistance mutation may be more common among patients with longer progression-free survival (PFS) on first-line TKI therapy, but much is still unknown about this resistance mechanism’s association with response to other therapies. Methods: Our group collected medical records from patients who underwent a biopsy for T790M mutation testing in the process of screening for clinical trials involving third generation EGFR inhibitors. Medical records were retrospectively analyzed for demographic data, PFS, best response (BR) to previous therapies, and presence or absence of an acquired T790M mutation. Progression-free survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared across two groups using the log-ranked test followed by univariate and multivariate cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Response rates were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Out of 102 patients who obtained a diagnostic biopsy, 73 patients had a T790M mutation. Patients who later developed a T790M mutation had a longer PFS on first-line TKI therapy (12.0 months in T790M+ vs. 8.0 months in T790M-, p = 0.038, HR 1.66, 95% CI 1.03-2.67), though there was no difference in response rate (75.5% in T790M+ vs 77.3% in T790M-, p = 1.00). T790M+ patients also had a longer PFS on initial chemotherapy treatment (5.0 months in T790M+ vs. 4.0 months in T790M-, p = 0.020, HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.11-3.49) and a higher response rate to chemotherapy (22.7% in T790M+ vs 0% in T790M-, p = 0.033). Median PFS was short (3.0 months) for patients treated with immunotherapy with no difference based on T790M mutation status (p = 0.33). Conclusions: Our study confirms that tumors expressing T790M have a more indolent progression of disease compared to their T790M negative counterparts when treated with both first-line TKI and cytotoxic chemotherapy. This data provides context for therapeutic decision making in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients.
