A meeting among expert pathologists was held in 2019 in Rome to verify the results of the previous harmonization efforts on the PD-L1 immunohistochemical testing by scoring a representative series of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) digital slides. The current paper shows the results of this digital experimental meeting and the expertise achieved by the community of Italian pathologists. PD-L1 protein expression was determined using tumor proportion score (TPS), i.e., the percentage of viable tumor cells showing partial or complete membrane staining at any intensity. The gold standard was defined as the final PD-L1 score formulated by a panel of seven lung committed pathologists. PD-L1 status was clustered in three categories, namely negative (TPS < 1), low (TPS 1–49%), and high (TPS ≥ 50%). In 23 cases (71.9%) PD-L1 staining was performed using the companion diagnostic 22C3 pharmDx kit on Dako Autostainer, while in nine (28.1%) cases it was performed using the SP263 Ventana kit on BenchMark platform. A complete PD-L1 scoring agreement between the panel of experts and the participants was reached in 57.1% of cases, whereas a minor disagreement in 16.1% of cases was recorded. Italian pathologists performed best in strong positive cases (i.e., tumor proportion score TPS > 50%), whereas only 10.8% of disagreement with the gold standard was observed, and 55.6% regarded a single challenging case. The worst performance was achieved in the negative cases, with 32.0% disagreement. A significant difference resulted from the analysis of the data separated by the different clones used: 22.3% and 38.1% disagreement (p = 0.01) was found in the group of cases analyzed by 22C3 and SP263 antibody clones, respectively. In conclusion, this workshop record proposed the application of a digital pathology platform to share controversial cases in educational meetings as an alternative possibility for improving the interpretation and reporting of specific histological tools. Due to the crucial role of PD-L1 TPS for the selection of patients for immunotherapy, the identification of unconventional approaches as virtual slides to focus experiences and give more detailed practical verifications of the standard quality reached may be a considerable option.

Introduction: Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved as first-line therapy for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Some osimertinib-related interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) were shown to be transient, called transient asymptomatic pulmonary opacities (TAPO)—clinically benign pulmonary opacities that resolve despite continued osimertinib treatment—and are not associated with the clinical manifestations of typical TKI-associated ILDs. Methods: In this multicentric study, we retrospectively analyzed 92 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated with osimertinib. Computed tomography (CT) examinations were reviewed by two radiologists and TAPO were classified according to radiologic pattern. We also analyzed associations between TAPO and patients’ clinical variables and compared clinical outcomes (time to treatment failure and overall survival) for TAPO-positive and TAPO-negative groups. Results: TAPO were found in 18/92 patients (19.6%), with a median follow-up of 114 weeks. Median onset time was 16 weeks (range 6–80) and median duration time 14 weeks (range 8–37). The most common radiologic pattern was focal ground-glass opacity (54.5%). We did not find any individual clinical variable significantly associated with the onset of TAPO or significant difference in clinical outcomes between TAPO-positive and TAPO-negative groups. Conclusions: TAPO are benign pulmonary findings observed in patients treated with osimertinib. TAPO variability in terms of CT features can hinder the differential diagnosis with either osimertinib-related mild ILD or tumor progression. However, because TAPO are asymptomatic, it could be reasonable to continue therapy and verify the resolution of the CT findings at follow-up in selected cases.

8501 Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor is a standard of care for EGFR mutation-positive, untreated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the efficacy and safety of adjuvant gefitinib for patients with completely resected lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation over cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy were not known in 2011 when this study was initiated. Methods: From September 2011 to December 2015, we randomly assigned 234 patients with completely resected, EGFR mutation-positive (exon 19 deletion or L858R), stage II–III NSCLC to receive either gefitinib (250 mg, once daily) for 24 months or cisplatin (80 mg/m2 on day 1) plus vinorelbine (25 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8) (cis/vin) every 3 weeks for four cycles. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS) according to a central review in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Results: Two patients in the gefitinib arm withdrew consent and were excluded from the ITT population. No treatment-related deaths were seen in the gefitinib arm, but three treatment-related deaths were reported in the cis/vin arm. Median duration of follow-up was 71 months. Median DFS was numerically longer in the gefitinib arm (36 months) than in the cis/vin arm (25.2 months). However, Kaplan-Meier curves began to overlap around 5 years after surgery, and no significant difference in DFS was seen, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.92 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.67–1.28; P = 0.63). Overall survival was also not significantly different (median not reached in either arm). Five-year survival rates for gefitinib and cis/vin arms were 78.0% and 74.6%, respectively, with an HR for death of 1.03; 95%CI, 0.65–1.65; P = 0.89. Exploratory subset analysis revealed that patients ³70 years old in the gefitinib arm (n = 19/27 with G to cis/vin) survived longer than those in the cis/vin arm (HR 0.31; 95%CI, 0.10–0.98; P = 0.046). Conclusions: Adjuvant gefitinib appeared to prevent early relapse, but did not significantly prolong DFS or OS in patients with completely resected stage II–III, EGFR-mutated NSCLC. The apparent non-inferiority of DFS/OS may justify the use of adjuvant gefitinib in selected subset of patients, especially those deemed unsuitable for cis/vin adjuvant therapy.

Metronomic Vinorelbine

Background. Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. The treatment choice for advanced stage of lung cancer may depend on histotype, performance status (PS), age, and comorbidities. In the present study, we focused on the effect of metronomic vinorelbine treatment in elderly patients with advanced unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods. From January 2016 to December 2016, 44 patients affected by non-small cell lung cancer referred to our oncology day hospital were progressively analyzed. The patients were treated with oral vinorelbine 30 mg x 3/wk or 40 mg x 3/wk meaning one day on and one day off. The patients were older than 60, stage IIIB or IV, ECOG PS ≥ 1, and have at least one important comorbidity (renal, hepatic, or cardiovascular disease). The schedule was based on ECOG-PS and comorbidities. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). PFS was used to compare patients based on different scheduled dosage (30 or 40 mg x3/weekly) and age (more or less than 75 years old) as exploratory analysis. We also evaluated as secondary endpoint toxicity according to Common Toxicity Criteria Version 2.0.Results. Vinorelbine showed a good safety profile at different doses taken orally and was effective in controlling cancer progression. The median overall survival (OS) was 12 months. The disease control rate (DCR) achieved 63%. The median PFS was 9 months. A significant difference in PFS was detected comparing patients aged below with those over 75, and the HR value was 0.72 (p<0.05). Not significant was the difference between groups with different schedules.Conclusions.This study confirmed the safety profile of metronomic vinorelbine and its applicability for patients unfit for standard chemotherapies and adds the possibility of considering this type of schedule not only for very elderly patients.

PURPOSE: To assess possible pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions between gemcitabine and paclitaxel in a phase I/II study in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen patients with advanced NSCLC received the following in a 3-week schedule: gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 (30 minutes, days 1 and 8) and paclitaxel 150 (n = 9) or 200 mg/m2 (n = 9) before gemcitabine (3 hours, day 1). Plasma pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in mononuclear cells were studied. RESULTS: Gemcitabine did not influence paclitaxel pharmacokinetics at 150 and 200 mg/m2 (area under the concentration-time curve [AUC], 7.7 and 8.8 μmol/ L · h, respectively; maximum plasma concentration [Cmax], 3.2 and 4.0 μmol/L, respectively), and paclitaxel did not influence that of gemcitabine (Cmax, 30 ± 3 μmol/L) and 2′,2′-difluorodeoxyuridine. Paclitaxel, however, dose-dependently increased the Cmax of gemcitabine triphosphate (dFdCTP), the active metabolite of gemcitabine, from 55 ± 10 to 106 ± 16 pmol/106 cells. No significant difference in the AUC of dFdCTP was observed. Moreover, the gemcitabine-paclitaxel combination significantly increased ribonucleotide levels, most pronounced for adenosine triphosphate (six- to seven-fold). Postinfusion paclitaxel AUC was related to pretreatment hepatic function (bilirubin: r = 0.79; P < .001) and to the percentage decrease in platelets (r = 0.61; P = .009). The latter was also related to the duration of paclitaxel concentration above 0.1 μmol/L (r = 0.62; P = .007). Gemcitabine Cmax was related to the percentage decrease in platelets (r = 0.58; P = .01), pretreatment hepatic function (bilirubin: r = 0.77; P < .001), and to plasma creatinine (r = 0.5; P = .03). The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were not related to response or survival. CONCLUSION: Gemcitabine and paclitaxel pharmacokinetics were related to the percentage decrease in platelets. Paclitaxel did not affect the pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine, nor did gemcitabine affect the pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel, but paclitaxel increased dFdCTP accumulation. This might enhance the antitumor activity of gemcitabine.

BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor that affects people's health seriously. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the effective methods for the treatment of advanced lung cancer, accurate TCM syndrome differentiation is essential to treatment. When the symptoms are not obvious, the traditional symptom-based syndrome differentiation cannot be carried out. There is a close relationship between syndrom and index of western medicine, the combination of micro index and macro symptom can assist syndrome differentiation effectively. OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of tongue and pulse data of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with Qi deficiency syndrome and Yin deficiency syndrome, and to establish syndromes classification model based on tongue and pulse data by using machine learning method, and to evaluate the feasibility of the model. METHODS Tongue and pulse data of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with Qi deficiency syndrome (n=163), patients with Yin deficiency syndrome (n=174) and healthy controls (n=185) were collected by using intelligent Tongue and Face Diagnosis Analysis-1 instrument and Pulse Diagnosis Analysis-1 instrument, respectively. The characteristics of tongue and pulse data were analyzed, the correlation analysis was also made on tongue and pulse data. And four machine learning methods, namely Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine and Neural Network, were used to establish the classification models based on symptoms, tongue & pulse data, and symptoms & tongue & pulse data, respectively. RESULTS Significant difference indexes of tongue diagnosis between Qi deficiency syndrome and Yin deficiency syndrome were TB-a, TB-S, TB-Cr, TC-a, TC-S, TC-Cr, perAll and the tongue coating texture indexes including TC-Con, TC-ASM, TC-MEAN, and TC-ENT. Significant difference indexes of pulse diagnosis were t4 and t5. The classification performance of each model based on different data sets was as follows: model of tongue & pulse data <model of symptom < model of symptom & tongue & pulse data. The Neural Network model had a better classification performance for the symptom & tongue & pulse data, with an area under the ROC curve and accuracy rate were 0.9401 and 0.8806. CONCLUSIONS This study explored the characteristics of tongue and pulse data of NSCLC with Qi deficiency syndrome and Yin deficiency syndrome, and established syndromes classification model. It was feasible to use tongue and pulse data as one of the objective diagnostic indexes in Qi deficiency syndrome and Yin deficiency syndrome of NSCLC.

Management Paradigms

Abstract BACKGROUND: Brain metastases (BM) are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with approximately 10% of patients presenting with BM at the time of diagnosis. The aim of this systematic review was to critically evaluate the evolution of management paradigms for BM from NSCLC. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and CENTRAL for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published until October 2018. Comparative RCTs based on ≥ 50 patients were selected. The primary outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: Among 3188 abstracts, 14 RCTs (2494 patients) met inclusion criteria. Median sample size was 97 (range 59–538). Most trials were open-label, parallel, superiority trials. All included patients aged ≥18 with histologically proven NSCLC and ≥1 BM proven on CT/MRI. The majority of trials (11/14) excluded patients with non-favorable performance status (ECOG, KPS, or WHO scales), prior SRS or WBRT, and/or leptomeningeal metastases. Interventions assessed included WBRT (11/14), SRS (3/14), targeted therapies (e.g. EGFR inhibitors, 5/14), and various chemotherapeutic regimens (12/14). Most trials (12/13) reported no significant difference in OS between interventions. 4/10 trials reported a difference in PFS, two of which only included patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC; these showed a significant increase in PFS in patients managed with EGFR inhibitors. The other two trials reported longer PFS with sodium glycididazole + WBRT vs. WBRT alone (p=0.038) and temozolomide + SRS vs. SRS alone (p=0.003). The incidence of adverse events was consistent across most treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Most trials showed no significant improvement in OS; however, improvement in PFS was seen in several trials, most notably in EGFR-positive patients treated with EGFR inhibitors. Given the long-standing merit of radiation-based therapies for BM management, these data support the need for an in-depth meta-analysis assessing the comparative efficacy of current management paradigms for specific patient populations.

Objective. To carry out the meta-analysis on the relationship between the expression of nucleotide excision repair cross-complementary enzyme 1 (ERCC1) protein and platinum chemosensitivity in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods. The literature on the expression of ERCC1 and platinum chemosensitivity in patients with advanced NSCLC was searched in computer, which was published from January 2009 to August 2019 on the databases such as China Journal Full-text Database (CJFD), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP, PubMed, EMBASE, and others. Stata 15.0 was used for statistical analysis, and ethnicity subgroup analysis was taken. Results. Finally, 14 studies were included and 1337 patients were involved, of which 697 were ERCC1 positive, with a positive rate of 53.5%. The combined OR was 0.53 (95% CI: 0.30∼0.79; P<0.01). The results of ethnicity subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference, with OR of 0.50 (95% CI: 0.31∼0.82; P=0.001) in Asian population and OR of 0.56 (95% CI: 0.30∼1.07) in Caucasian population. Conclusion. The sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy in patients with ERCC1 protein negative expression in the middle and late stages of NSCLC is better than that in patients with positive expression, especially in Asian population. There is no correlation in Caucasian population.

Aims and background Many lung cancers are diagnosed in patients over 65 years of age, but limited data are available on the tolerance and activity in elderly patients of chemotherapy protocols designed for adults. Methods We therefore activated a phase II study in patients aged 65 years or older affected by stage IIIB-IV non-small-cell lung cancer in order to assess the tolerance and activity of vinorelbine administered weekly at a dose of 25 mg/m2. Results Since June 1992, 25 patients (20 males, 5 females; performance status ECOG, 0-2) have been included in the study and are evaluable for response and side effects. Two-hundred and twenty-eight cycles of therapy have been delivered (median/patient, 9 cycles). Four partial remissions (16%; 95% confidence interval 5–36%), 9 disease stabilizations, and 12 progressions have been observed. Median time to disease progression was 3 months, and median survival was 5 months (range, 2–25+). Mild or moderate side effects included leukopenia (6 cases), neutropenia (4 cases), anemia (4 cases), nausea (4 cases), infection (3 cases) and thoracic pain (2 cases). Grade III/IV toxicity consisted mainly of leukopenia and neutropenia observed respectively in 5 and in 7 patients. No significant difference in terms of tolerability has been observed for patients aged 65 to 70 with respect to patients aged 70 years or older. Conclusions The administration of vinorelbine in elderly patients does not seem to differ significantly in terms of response and tolerability from that recorded for adults. Selected elderly patients with good performance status and adequate organ function can be safely treated with systemic chemotherapy.

17128 Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) carries an extremely poor prognosis and treatment options for this disease remain poor. PDGF and PDGFR-β are expressed and have been found to have prognostic value in several human cancers. Data in non-small cell cancer cell lines have suggested that PDGFR is a therapeutic target for drug development. In the current study PDGFR-β expression and prognostic value in SCLC was investigated. Methods: Paraffin embedded tissue blocks from 53 patients with limited and extensive stage SCLC were obtained for immunohistochemical staining. Tumors from each patient were sampled three times and stained with PDGFR-β specific antibody. Patients were divided into low and high staining groups based on intensity. Results: There was high intensity PDGFR-β staining in 20 patients with SCLC. Another 29 expressed low intensity PDGFR- β staining, with only 4 patients showing no PDGFR- β staining. There was no statistically significant difference in five year overall survival between patients with low levels of PDGFR-β staining versus those with high level staining SCLC tumors (P = 0.538). Conclusions: Though expression of PDGFR-β may not be a predictor of prognosis, due to its high expression in SCLC it may represent an important target for improved tumor control, however, further studies are required to confirm this. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
