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.

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.

e19136 Background: EGFR mutation is a strong predictor of EGFR-TKIs (epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) therapy in advanced NSCLC. However, 20-30% of patients with EGFR mutation are resistant to EGFR-TKIs, suggesting that other determinants of outcome beyond EGFR mutation might exist. We hypothesized that plasma microRNA (miRNA) might play a role. Methods: Training group: 20 advanced NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs as first-line therapy with EGFR 19 deletion mutation were enrolled, 10 of whom responded dramatically while other 10 are resistant. Matched plasma were collected for miRNA profile detection using TaqMan Low-Density (TLDA). Testing group: Real-time PCR were employed to identify the level of miRNAs found significant differently expressed in training step; bioinformatics was applied to find related miRNAs possibly account for resistance. Validation group: Another cohort with EGFR 19 deletion mutation present dramatically different response to EGFR-TKI was used to analyze the difference of miRNAs expression between responding and resistant group. Results: Training group: 153 miRNAs were found differently expressed between responding and resistant group. Testing group: 3 miRNAs (miR-21, AmiR-27a, and miR-218) were verified significantly higher (P=0.004, A0.009, A0.041, respectively) in resistant group than responding group. Validation group: expression level of these 3 miRNAs was validated to be significantly different (P=0.011, A0.011, A0.026, respectively) between 17 couples advanced NSCLC patients with different response to EGFR-TKI. Conclusions: Higher expression level of miR-21, AmiR-27a, and miR-218 might play the role in the resistance to EGFR-TKI for advanced NSCLC patients who had an EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation treated with EGFR-TKI, which needs further validation.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) show variable efficacy in epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive (EGFR+) NSCLC patients, even in patients harbouring the same mutation. Co-alterations may predict different outcomes to TKIs. Methods: We retrospectively analysed all consecutive EGFR+ advanced NSCLC treated with first-line TKIs at our Institutions. NGS with a 22 genes clinical panel was performed on diagnostic specimens. PD-L1 expression was also evaluated. Results: Of the 106 analysed specimens, 59 showed concomitant pathogenic mutations. No differences in OS (mOS 22.8 vs. 29.5 months; p = 0.088), PFS (mPFS 10.9 vs. 11.2 months; p = 0.415) and ORR (55.9% vs. 68.1%; p = 0.202) were observed comparing patients without and with co-alterations. Subgroup analysis by EGFR mutation type and TKIs generation (1st/2nd vs. 3rd) did not show any difference too. No correlations of PD-L1 expression levels by co-mutational status were found. Significant associations with presence of co-alterations and younger age (p = 0.018) and baseline lymph nodes metastases (p = 0.032) were observed. Patients without concomitant alterations had a significant higher risk of bone progression (26.5% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.011). Conclusions: Pathogenic co-alterations does not seem to predict survival nor efficacy of EGFR TKIs in previously untreated advanced NSCLC.

Abstract Background To compare the benefits and explore the cause of acquired resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) and its combination with chemotherapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR mutation in a real-life setting.Methods This retrospective analysis included 117 advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation who underwent next-generation sequencing (NGS) prior to treatment. The combination group included 50 patients who received the regimen of EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy, while the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group included 67 patients treated with TKI only. The primary endpoint of this study was progression-free survival (PFS); the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), response rate, and toxicity.Results The median PFS was significantly longer in the combination group than in the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group (19.00 months [95% CI, 14.674-23.326] vs. 11.70 months [95% CI, 10.807-12.593], p = 0.000). Subgroup analysis showed a similar trend of results. The median OS was not reached in the combination group and was 38.50 (95% CI, 35.300-41.700) months in the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group (p = 0.586). Patients in the combination group were more likely to experience adverse events, most of which showed the severity of grade 1 or 2. T790M mutation remains the main reason for acquired resistance, and the frequency of T790M mutation was similar between the two groups (p = 0.898). Conclusions Compared with EGFR-TKI monotherapy, EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation, with acceptable toxicity.
