ObjectivesMore and more encouraging evidence revealed that immunotherapy could improve clinical outcomes in patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) variations. However, immunotherapy is still a controversy for NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation.MethodIn this retrospective analysis, we compared the clinical efficacy of pembrolizumab monotherapy (PM), pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy (P+C) and pembrolizumab combined with anlotinib (P+A) in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation who had failed on EGFR-TKI and platinum-based chemotherapy.ResultEighty-six patients were included in this study. The overall median progression free survival (PFS) was 3.24 months. Multivariate analysis suggested that EGFRL858R and combined therapy were positive prognostic factors of PFS. The overall median OS was 12.28 months. Multivariate analysis found that high PD-L1 expression (≥50%) and combined therapy seemed to be positive prognostic factors of OS. Among the population, 32 patients received PM, 26 patients received P+C and 28 patients received P+A. Up to Jan 30, 2021, the median progression-free survival was 1.5 months in the PM group, 4.30 months in the P+C group and 3.24 months in the P+A group. The median OS were 7.41, 14.92 and 15.97 months, respectively. The ORR were 3.1%, 23.1% and 21.4%.ConclusionThe addition of chemotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy to pembrolizumab resulted in significantly longer PFS, OS and ORR than pembrolizumab alone in our study. EGFRL858R might be a positive prognostic factor of PFS and high PD-L1 expression might be a positive prognostic factor of OS.

8042 Background: Pemetrexed or gefitinib is one of the standard second-line treatments for advanced non-squamousNSCLC in East Asia. The CTONG 0806 a multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label phase II trial was designed to explore the efficacy of pemetrexed versus gefitinib as the second-line treatment in advanced NSCLC patients without EGFR mutation. Methods: The patients with locally advanced or metastatic, non-squamous NSCLC previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and no EGFR mutation in exons 18-21 were enrolled. Patients were 1:1 randomized to receive either gefitinib 250 mg per oral every day (G arm) or pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 iv day 1 with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplement every 21 days (P arm) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation of treatment due to other reason. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints were 4-month and 6-month progression-free survival rate, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), quality of life using the FACT-L questionnaire and safety, EGFR and K-ras mutation status were evaluated and correlated with outcomes. Results: From Feb. 2009 to Aug. 2012, 157 evaluable patients were randomized (81 cases in G arm and 76 in P arm). Baseline age, gender, and ECOG performance status were balanced between arms. The primary endpoint of PFS was met with 1.6 months for G arm versus 4.8 months for P arm, the HR is 0.51 (95% CI 0.36~0.73, P<0.001). Overall response rates were 14.7 % and 13.3 % (P=0.814) and DCR were 32.0% and 61.3% (P<0.001) for G arm and P arm, respectively. OS data were not yet mature. More skin rash and diarrhoea were seen in G arm, but more fatigue and ALT increased in P arm. CTCAE grade 3 or 4 of AEs was 12.3% in G arm and 32.9% in P arm (p=0.002). The further analyses of efficacy evaluated by IRR and biomarkers analysis will be presented on the ground. Conclusions: CTONG0806 is the first trial to show significant improvements in PFS and DCR with pemetrexed compared with gefitinib in second-line setting for advanced NSCLC with EGFR wild type. Patients with EGFR wild type did not benefit from EGFR TKI gefitinb in second-line setting. Clinical trial information: NCT00891579.

e20710 Background: Currently, prognostic markers associated with immunotherapy treatment outcomes in patients with metastatic NSCLC include PDL-1 expression, tumor mutational burden (TBM), and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR). In this study we examine the influence of pretreatment changes in weight, BMI, and NLR in 237 patients treated with anti-PD-1/PDL-1 therapy (ICI) at our institution. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of previously-treated stage IV NSCLC patients who received ICI. Pretreatment (≥ 6 weeks before starting therapy) values of weight, BMI, and NLR were compared to baseline values and NLR was analyzed as continuum and according to standard cutoffs of 3.5 and 5. The same variables were correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using the Log-Rank test. Results: 237 patients were analyzed: 45% were male, 73% were Caucasian, 72% were former smokers, and 25% were age ≥ 75 years. 148 patients had pretreatment NLR values. Of these, 32% had a ratio < 3.5 and 54% had ratio < 5. 34% had increased NLR at baseline, the majority of which (48/77) had a > 5% increase. 187 patients had pretreatment weight and BMI. Of these, 14% had a pretreatment BMI < 20. 71% had a negative change in BMI and 29% had a > 5% decrease in BMI. 65% had a negative change in weight and 26% had a > 5% decrease in weight. BMI decrease greater than 5% (p = 0.0039), negative weight change (p = 0.0371), and pretreatment NLR > 5 (p = 0.0136) were associated with shorter PFS. Change in NLR trended towards decreased PFS but was not statistically significant (p = 0.07) though only 77 of 237 patients had both values available. There was no statistical PFS difference between patients less than or ≥ 75 years old. Conclusions: The results suggest that decrease in pretreatment BMI and weight along with high baseline NLR are associated with significantly shorter PFS in NSCLC treated with anti-PD-1/PDL-1 therapy. If confirmed, these observations raise the possibility that specific treatment which reverses cancer associated weight loss might enhance effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Purpose Desmoid tumors are mesenchymal fibroblastic/myofibroblastic proliferations with locoregional aggressiveness and high ability to recur after initial treatment. We present the results of the largest series of sporadic desmoid tumors ever published to determine the prognostic factors of these rare tumors. Patients and Methods Four hundred twenty-six patients with a desmoid tumor at diagnosis were included, and the following parameters were studied: age, sex, delay between first symptoms and diagnosis, tumor size, tumor site, previous history of surgery or trauma in the area of the primary tumor, surgical margins, and context of abdominal wall desmoids in women of child-bearing age during or shortly after pregnancy. We performed univariate and multivariate analysis for progression-free survival (PFS). Results In univariate analysis, age, tumor size, tumor site, and surgical margins (R2 v R0/R1) had a significant impact on PFS. PFS curves were not significantly different for microscopic assessment of surgical resection quality (R0 v R1). In multivariate analysis, age, tumor size, and tumor site had independent values. Three prognostic groups for PFS were defined on the basis of the number of independent unfavorable prognostic factors (0 or 1, 2, and 3). Conclusion This study clearly demonstrates that there are different prognostic subgroups of desmoid tumors that could benefit from different therapeutic strategies, including a wait-and-see policy.

BackgroundData on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation are limited. The current study aimed to assess the efficacy of ICIs in EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC and explore the relevant influential factors.Materials and MethodsRelevant clinical data of EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients who had received ICIs were collected from multiple hospitals. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and relevant influential factors.ResultsA total of 122 advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients were included in the final analysis. The total cohort had an objective response rate (ORR) of 32.0%, a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.0 months, and a median overall survival (mOS) of 14.4 months. Among 96 patients with common EGFR mutations (19Del, 52 patients; L858R, 44 patients), those who were administered front-line ICI exhibited better survival benefits than those who received later-line ICI after disease progression on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment (mPFS: 7.2 months vs. 3.4 months, respectively, P &lt; 0.0001; mOS: 15.1 months vs. 8.4 months, respectively, P &lt;0.0001). Moreover, the efficacy of ICI-based combination therapy was better than that of ICI monotherapy (mPFS: 5.0 months vs. 2.2 months, respectively, P = 0.002; mOS: 14.4 months vs. 7.0 months, respectively, P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that ICI-based combination therapy and front-line ICI administration after progression on EGFR-TKI were associated with significant improvements in both PFS and OS (P &lt; 0.05). A high PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score, TPS≥50%) and the EGFR L858R mutation were only significantly associated with a better PFS (P &lt;0.05). A better Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status was independently associated with a favorable OS (P &lt;0.05).ConclusionsTaken together, combination immunotherapy in front-line was associated with improvement of survival in EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients post-TKI resistance. Further prospective studies with large sample sizes are required to identify the optimal combinatorial treatment strategy.

Abstract Background: We compared outcomes and toxicity between radiation therapy (RT) with concurrent retrograde super-selective intra-arterial chemotherapy (IACRT) and RT with concurrent systemic chemoradiotherapy (SCRT), for gingival carcinoma (GC). Methods: We included 84 consecutive patients who were treated for GC ≥ stage III, from 2006 to 2018, in this retrospective analysis (IACRT group: n=66; SCRT group: n=18).Results: Median follow-up time was 24 (range: 1–124) months. The median prescribed dose was 60 (6–70.2) Gy (IACRT group: 60 Gy; SCRT group:69 Gy). At 3 years, the two groups significantly differed in overall survival (OS; IACRT: 78.75%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 66.00–87.62; SCRT: 50.37%, 95% CI: 27.58–73.0; P = 0.039), progression-free survival (PFS; IACRT: 75.64%, 95% CI: 62.69–85.17; SCRT: 41.96%, 95% CI: 17.65–70.90; P = 0.028) and local control (LC; IACRT: 77.17%, 95% CI: 64.23–86.41; SCRT: 41.96%, 95% CI: 17.65–70.90; P = 0.015). In univariate analysis, age ≥ 65, decreased performance status (PS) and SCRT were significantly associated with worse outcomes (P < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, age ≥ 65 years, clinical stage IV, and SCRT were significantly correlated with poor OS (P < 0.05). Patients with poorer PS had significantly worse PFS.Conclusions: This is the first report to compare outcomes from IACRT and SCRT among patients with GC. IACRT is an effective and organ-preserving treatment for GC.Trial registration: retrospectively registered

Purpose Malignant high-grade gliomas are the most common and aggressive type of primary brain tumor, and the prognosis is generally extremely poor. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the outcome of systemic treatment in recurrent high-grade glioma patients and the impact of prognostic factors on survivals. Methods Data from 114 patients with recurrent high-grade glioma who received systemic treatment and followed in our clinic between 2012 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, age, gender, histology, type of surgical resection, side effects after systemic treatment (deep vein thrombosis, hypertension, proteinuria), IDH1 and alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) mutation status were investigated as prognostic factors for progression-free survival and overall survival. Results At the time of diagnosis, the median age was 48 (17–77) and 68% of the patients were male. Most common pathologic subtype was glioblastoma multiforme (68%). Median follow-up duration was 9.1 months (1–68 months). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 6.2 months and 8 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, ECOG PS, deep venous thrombosis and the presence of ATRX and IDH1 mutation were found to be independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (p < 0.05) and, ECOG PS, the presence of ATRX and IDH1 mutation for overall survival (p < 0.05). Conclusion Our study is real life data and the median progression-free survival and overall survival rates are similar to the literature. We have found ECOG PS, presence of ATRX and IDH1 mutation to be independent prognostic factors for both progression-free survival and overall survival.

Abstract Abstract 595 Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of terminally differentiated plasma cells in which the malignant plasma cell clone usually produces a single abnormal unique monoclonal antibody with a constant isotype and light chain-restricted paraprotein. Recently, the occurrence of oligoclonal and monoclonal bands (OB/MB) not related to the original clone has been reported in patients with multiple myeloma who undergo autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and/or receive treatment with novel agents. Based on this data, the aim of our study was to assess the impact of monoclonal (MB) and oligoclonal bands (OB) occurrence on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for MM patients undergoing single ASCT at Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH). Patient and Methods: All consecutive patients with documented MM undergoing single ASCT at PMH from 01/00 to 12/07 were evaluated. Oligoclonal banding (OB) was defined as the development of two or more concurrent monoclonal-type bands on the serum electrophoretic pattern, with either a different heavy or light chain component from the original M-protein band at day+100 post-ASCT. A new monoclonal band (MB) was defined as a heavy and/or light chain immunoglobulin distinct from the initially diagnosed MM. All cases with OB/MB in our series fulfilled the criteria of secondary monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Multivariate analysis was performed with the Cox proportional hazard model. All analyses were performed using the SPSS 13.0 software. Results: Between January 2000 and December 2007, 788 patients were identified. Clinical and laboratory characteristics are listed in Table 1 Ninety-six patients (12.1%) developed OB/MB at 3 months from ASCT: 32 patients (33.3%) had OB, and 64 patients (66.7%) had a new MB. The median duration of the OB/MB was 12 months (range 4–52 months). OB and MB emerged after ASCT in 14% (60/409) of patients receiving VAD, 7.0% of patients receiving bortezomib (6/86) and 8.6% of patients receiving thalidomide (6/69) containing regimens as induction therapy. Thirty-seven (38%) patients with subsequent development of an OB/MB had achieved ≥VGPR after induction and this rate improved to 79% (76/96) at day +100 post-ASCT. Patients who did not develop OB/MB had a ≥VGPR rate of 28% and 58% after induction and day+100 post-ASCT, representing a lower rate than patients with OB/MB (p=0.07 and 0.002, respectively). At the time of this analysis, 65 (67.7%) of the cohort patients who developed OB/MB are alive and 68 have already progressed (70.8%). Median overall survival for patients who did not develop OB/MB at day+100 post ASCT was 74.5 months compared to 115.5 months for those who developed OB/MB (p=0.0098). Multivariate analysis shows developing of OB/MB as an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS (p=0.006 and 0.021, respectively). (Fig1a-b) The duration of the OB/MB did not affect OS and PFS. In conclusion, OB/MB occurrence is an important prognostic factor in MM patients who undergo ASCT, the biological significance and its impact on clinical outcomes should be prospectively validated.

Objective: To explore the efficacy comparison between epidermal growth factor receptor–tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and single EGFR-TKIs for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: A total of 91 NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation were divided into an experimental group and a control group (in a ratio of 2:1) to receive TCM and EGFR-TKIs (61 cases) or single EGFR-TKIs (30 cases). Patients in the control group took EGFR-TKIs and those in the experimental group took EGFR-TKIs plus TCM. We analyzed the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and treatment-related adverse events of two groups.Results: The mPFS of the experimental group and the control group was 12.3 and 8.9 months (P = 0.02), respectively, and the mOS of the experimental group and the control group was 28.2 and 24.2 months (P = 0.02), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that for the patients with exon 19 deletion mutation (19DEL), mPFS between experimental group and control group was 12.7 and 10.1 months, respectively (P = 0.12). For exon 21 deletion mutation (L858R), the PFS of two groups was 10.8 vs. 8.2 months, respectively (P = 0.03). The subgroup analysis also showed that, for the patients with exon 19 deletion mutation, mOS between the experimental group and the control group was 30.3 and 28.7 months, respectively (P = 0.19). For exon 21 deletion mutation, the mOS of two groups was 25.5 vs. 21.3 months, respectively (P = 0.01). The DCR of the experimental group and the control group was 93.3% and 80.1%, respectively (P = 0.77). Grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events were less common with the experimental group (11.48%) than the control group (26.67%).Conclusion: For NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation, EGFR-TKIs combined with TCM had a certain effect to prolong mPFS and mOS, compared with the use of EGFR-TKIs alone, especially for the patients with L858R. This conclusion has a significant effect on improving the survival of NSCLC patients after EGFR-TKIs resistance. It deserves further study.
