Background Commonly used first-line (1L) chemotherapies for patients with advanced squamous-cell lung cancer (scc) include gemcitabine–platinum (gp), nab-paclitaxel–carboplatin (nabpc), and sb-paclitaxel–carboplatin (sbpc) regimens. However, no head-to-head trials have compared those treatments. In the present study, we compared the efficacy of 1L gp, nabpc, and sbpc in patients with scc and in patients with scc who subsequently received secondline (2L) immunotherapy.Methods Medical records of patients who initiated the 1L treatments of interest between June 2014 and October 2015 were reviewed by 132 participating physicians. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to evaluate overall survival (os), progression-free survival (pfs), and treatment discontinuation (td), and then Cox proportional hazards regression was used to compare the results between the cohorts.Results Medical records of 458 patients with scc receiving gp (n = 139), nabpc (n = 159), or sbpc (n = 160) as 1L therapy were reviewed. Median os was longer with nabpc (23.9 months) than with gp (16.9 months; adjusted hazard ratio vs. nabpc: 1.55; p < 0.05) and with sbpc (18.3 months; adjusted hazard ratio: 1.42; p = 0.10). No differences were observed in pfs (median pfs: 8.8, 8.0, and 7.6 months for gp, nabpc, and sbpc respectively; log-rank p = 0.76) or in td (median td: 5.5, 5.7, and 4.6 months respectively; p = 0.65). For patients who subsequently received 2L immunotherapy, no differences in os were observed (median os: 27.3, 25.0, and 23.0 months respectively; p = 0.59).Conclusions In a nationwide sample of scc patients, longer median os was associated with 1L nabpc than with gp and sbpc. Median os for all 1L agents considered was similar in the subgroup of patients who sequenced to a 2L immunotherapy.

Currently, the prognostic effects of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and LIF receptor (LIFR) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) are not clear. In the present study, we utilized the large datasets from four public databases to investigate the expression of LIF and LIFR and their clinical significance in PAAD. Eight cohorts containing 1278 cases with PAAD were identified and the analysis results suggested that LIF was highly expressed while LIFR was lowly expressed in PAAD tissues compared with adjacent or normal tissues. Kaplan–Meier plot curves and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses indicated high LIF expression was associated with shorter overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.641, 95% CI: 1.399–1.925, p < 0.001) whereas high LIFR expression was associated with longer overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.653, 95% CI: 0.517–0.826, p < 0.001).

e16016 Background: Prior analyses demonstrated worse outcomes with the BP mUC clinical phenotype. UC molecular subtypes that may correlate with the BP phenotype have been defined, however molecular subtyping is not a readily available standard practice. We hypothesized that BP mUC has worse prognosis vs. non-BP (NBP) mUC and evaluated patient (pt) characteristics associated with the mUC subtype, responses and outcomes. Methods: We searched the electronic medical record (EMR) to identify pts with mUC who received systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. Demographic, clinicopathologic, treatment (trt), response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS ) from start of first line trt. Imaging was reviewed to identify NBP or BP disease. Logistic regression, Cox proportional-hazards and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed. Results: 149 mUC pts were identified (64% male, 68% smokers ), median age at 1st line trt was 68 years. 70% had de-novo mets, 46% to lung and 27% to liver. 22% of pts were BP, of these, 36% were de-novo metastatic. In non- de-novo metastatic pts (70% of pts), first progression of disease to bone was associated with development of the BP phenotype (OR = 30.46, 95% CI 6.37 to 145.61; p < 0.0001). BP pts had higher rate of death (HR = 2.28, 95% CI 1.45 to 3.58, p = 0.0004), shorter PFS from 1st line trt, (11.7 vs 14.9 weeks, p = 0.032) as well as shorter OS from 1st line trt (24.6 vs 56.6 weeks, p = 0.002) compared to NBP pts. There was no difference in PFS between BP and NBP groups for pts treated with 1st line platinum-based chemotherapy (11.8 vs 18.3 weeks, p = 0.091) or for BP pts treated with 1st line immunotherapy vs platinum-based chemotherapy (11.71 vs 11.86 weeks, p = 0.135). Conclusions: Early bone metastases are associated with the development of the BP metastatic phenotype. BP pts have worse PFS and OS from 1st line trt compared to NBP pts. PFS remains poor when BP pts are treated with either platinum-based chemotherapy or immunotherapy in the first line setting. Imaging to determine the presence of bone metastases may routinely be pursued and careful attention paid on follow up imaging. Clinical trials and prospective registries focusing on efficacy endpoints for BP mUC are needed.

Background: The Gustave Roussy Immune (GRIm)-Score takes into account neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), serum albumin concentration and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its prognostic value has been investigated in patients treated with immune check-point inhibitors (ICIs). To further assess the prognostic and predictive value of baseline GRIm-Score (GRImT0) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) patients, we separately investigated two cohorts of patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab or chemotherapy. We also investigated whether GRIm-Score at 45 days since treatment initiation (GRImT1) and GRIm-Score difference between the two timepoints may better predict clinical outcomes (GRImΔ = GRImT0 − GRImT1). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 222 aNSCLC patients: 135 treated with pembrolizumab and 87 treated with chemotherapy as the first-line regimen. NLR, serum albumin and LDH concentrations were assessed at T0 and at T1. According to the GRIm-Score, patients were assigned 1 point if they had NLR > 6, LDH > upper limit normal or albumin < 3.5 g/dL. Patients with a GRIm-Score < 2 were considered as having a low Score. Results: In both cohorts, no difference in terms of overall survival (OS) between patients with low and high GRImT0 was found. Otherwise, median OS and progression free survival (PFS) of the low GRImT1 group were significantly longer than those of the high GRImT1 group in pembrolizumab-treated patients, but not in the CHT cohort (pembrolizumab cohort: low vs. high; median OS not reached vs. 9.2 months, p = 0.004; median PFS 10.8 vs. 2.3 months, p = 0.002). Patients receiving pembrolizumab with stable/positive GRImΔ had better OS (median OS not reached vs. 12.0 months, p < 0.001), PFS (median PFS 20.6 vs. 2.6 months, p < 0.001) and objective response rate (58.2% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.003) compared to patients with negative GRImΔ. Conclusion: Our data shown that GRImT1 and GRImΔ are more reliable peripheral blood biomarkers of outcome compared to GRImT0 in aNSCLC patients treated with pembrolizumab and might represent useful biomarkers to drive clinical decisions in this setting.

The Impact

4142 Background: KRAS mutations (m) (KRASm) are present in over 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC) with a predominance of G12 substitutions. KRAS wildtype (WT) PDAC relies on alternate oncogenic drivers, and the prognostic impact of these remains unknown. We evaluated alterations in WT PDAC and explored the impact of specific KRASm and WT status on survival. Methods: WGS and RNAseq were performed on 570 patients (pts) ascertained through our translational research program from 2012-2021, of which 443 were included for overall survival (OS) analyses. This included 176 pts with resected and 267 pts with advanced PDAC enrolled on the COMPASS trial (NCT02750657). The latter cohort underwent biopsies prior to treatment with first line gemcitabine-nab-paclitaxel or mFOLFIRINOX as per physician choice. The Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards methods were used to estimate OS. Results: KRAS WT PDAC (n = 52) represented 9% of pts, and these cases trended to be younger than pts with KRASm (median age 61 vs 65 years p = 0.1). In resected cases, the most common alterations in WT PDAC (n = 23) included GNASm (n = 6) and BRAFm/fusions (n = 5). In advanced WT PDAC (n = 27), alterations in BRAF (n = 11) and ERBB2/3/4 (n = 6) were most prevalent. Oncogenic fusions (NTRK, NRG1, BRAF/RAF, ROS1, others) were identified in 9 pts. The BRAF in-frame deletion p.486_491del represented the most common single variant in WT PDAC, with organoid profiling revealing sensitivity to both 3rd generation BRAF inhibitors and MEK inhibition. In resected PDAC, multivariable analyses documented higher stage (p = 0.043), lack of adjuvant chemotherapy (p < 0.001), and the KRAS G12D variant (p = 0.004) as poor prognostic variables. In advanced disease, neither WT PDAC nor KRAS specific alleles had an impact on prognosis (median OS WT = 8.5 mths, G12D = 8.2, G12V = 10.0, G12R = 12.0, others = 9.2, p = 0.73); the basal-like RNA subtype conferred inferior OS (p < 0.001). A targeted therapeutic approach following first line chemotherapy was undertaken in 10% of pts with advanced PDAC: MMRd (n = 1), homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) (n = 19), KRASG12C (n = 1), CDK4/6 amplification (n = 3), ERBB family alterations (n = 2), BRAF variants (n = 2). OS in this group was superior (14.7 vs 8.8 mths, p = 0.04), mainly driven by HRD-PDAC where KRASm were present in 89%. Conclusions: In our dataset, KRAS G12D is associated with inferior OS in resected PDAC, however KRAS mutational status was not prognostic in advanced disease. This suggests that improved OS in the WT PDAC population can only be achieved if there is accelerated access to targeted drugs for pts.

Abstract Background: Whether lung segmentectomy is a safe and effective surgical treatment in patients with early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. We have therefore reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes of patients receiving a lobectomy vs. segmentectomy to treat early T (>2 cm and ≤3 cm) N0M0 NSCLC.Methods: We obtained data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for patients who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy between 2004 and 2015. To reduce bias and imbalance between the treatment groups, propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed. We used Kaplan-Meier curves to estimate overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS), performed univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to identify independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS, and applied the Cox proportional hazards model to create forest plots. Results: A total of 5783 patients from the SEER database were included. Of these, 5531 patients underwent lobectomy, and 252 patients underwent segmentectomy. Before matching, both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that patients who underwent lobectomy had better OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.561; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.292-1.885; P <0.001) and LCSS (HR: 1.551; 95% CI 1.198-2.009; P=0.001) than patients who underwent segmentectomy. However, survival differences between the groups were not significant; OS (P=0.160) and LCSS (P=0.097) after matching. Regression analyses revealed that age, sex, lymph node dissection, and grade were independent predictors of OS and LCSS (P <0.05).Conclusions: For patients with stage T (>2 cm and ≤3 cm) N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer, segmentectomy can achieve the same OS and LCSS compared with lobectomy. A large number of patients require further long-term follow-up analyses.

BackgroundObservational studies have demonstrated that de-escalation of antimicrobial therapy is independently associated with lower mortality. This most probably results from confounding by indication. Reaching clinical stability is associated with the decision to de-escalate and with survival. However, studies rarely adjust for this confounder. We quantified the potential confounding effect of clinical stability on the estimated impact of de-escalation on mortality in patients with community-acquired pneumonia.MethodsData were used from the Community-Acquired Pneumonia immunization Trial in Adults (CAPiTA). The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. We performed Cox proportional-hazards regression with de-escalation as time-dependent variable and adjusted for baseline characteristics using propensity scores. The potential impact of unmeasured confounding was quantified through simulating a variable representing clinical stability on day three, using data on prevalence and associations with mortality from the literature.ResultsOf 1,536 included patients, 257 (16.7%) were de-escalated, 123 (8.0%) were escalated and in 1156 (75.3%) the antibiotic spectrum remained unchanged. The adjusted hazard ratio of de-escalation for 30-day mortality (compared to patients with unchanged coverage), without adjustment for clinical stability, was 0.36 (95%CI: 0.18-0.73). If 90% to 100% of de-escalated patients were clinically stable on day three, the fully adjusted hazard ratio would be 0.53 (95%CI: 0.26-1.08) to 0.90 (95%CI: 0.42-1.91), respectively. The simulated confounder was substantially stronger than any of the baseline confounders in our dataset.ConclusionsWith plausible, literature-based assumptions, clinical stability is a very strong confounder for the effects of de-escalation. Quantification of effects of de-escalation on patient outcomes without proper adjustment for clinical stability results in strong negative bias. As a result, the safety of de-escalation remains to be determined.

OBJECTIVE Patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) metastatic to the brain are living longer. The risk of new brain metastases when these patients stop systemic therapy is unknown. The authors hypothesized that the risk of new brain metastases remains constant for as long as patients are off systemic therapy. METHODS A prospectively collected registry of patients undergoing radiosurgery for brain metastases was analyzed. Of 606 patients with NSCLC, 63 met the inclusion criteria of discontinuing systemic therapy for at least 90 days and undergoing active surveillance. The risk factors for the development of new tumors were determined using Cox proportional hazards and recurrent events models. RESULTS The median duration to new brain metastases off systemic therapy was 16.0 months. The probability of developing an additional new tumor at 6, 12, and 18 months was 26%, 40%, and 53%, respectively. There were no additional new tumors 22 months after stopping therapy. Patients who discontinued therapy due to intolerance or progression of the disease and those with mutations in RAS or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathways (e.g., KRAS, EGFR) were more likely to develop new tumors (hazard ratio [HR] 2.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.33–3.81, p = 2.5 × 10−3; HR 2.51, 95% CI 1.45–4.34, p = 9.8 × 10−4, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The rate of new brain metastases from NSCLC in patients off systemic therapy decreases over time and is uncommon 2 years after cessation of cancer therapy. Patients who stop therapy due to toxicity or who have RAS or RTK pathway mutations have a higher rate of new metastases and should be followed more closely.

Abstract Background Accurate assessments of patient response to therapy are a critical component of personalized medicine. In glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive form of brain cancer, tumor growth dynamics are heterogenous across patients, complicating assessment of treatment response. This study aimed to analyze days gained (DG), a burgeoning model-based dynamic metric, for response assessment in patients with recurrent GBM who received bevacizumab-based therapies. Methods DG response scores were calculated using volumetric tumor segmentations for patients receiving bevacizumab with and without concurrent cytotoxic therapy (N = 62). Kaplan–Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were implemented to examine DG prognostic relationship to overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) from the onset of treatment for recurrent GBM. Results In patients receiving concurrent bevacizumab and cytotoxic therapy, Kaplan–Meier analysis showed significant differences in OS and PFS at DG cutoffs consistent with previously identified values from newly diagnosed GBM using T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (T1Gd). DG scores for bevacizumab monotherapy patients only approached significance for PFS. Cox regression showed that increases of 25 DG on T1Gd imaging were significantly associated with a 12.5% reduction in OS hazard for concurrent therapy patients and a 4.4% reduction in PFS hazard for bevacizumab monotherapy patients. Conclusion DG has significant meaning in recurrent therapy as a metric of treatment response, even in the context of anti-angiogenic therapies. This provides further evidence supporting the use of DG as an adjunct response metric that quantitatively connects treatment response and clinical outcomes.

Background: The frequency of paediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) and the precise risk of secondary progression of disease are largely unknown in the Middle East. This cross-sectional cohort study assessed the risk and examined prognostic factors for time to onset of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) in a cohort of POMS patients. Methods: The Kuwait National MS Registry database was used to identify a cohort of POMS cases (diagnosed at age <18 years) from 1994 to 2013. Data were abstracted from patients’ records. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the prognostic significance of the variables considered. Results: Of 808 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, 127 (15.7%) were POMS cases. The median age (years) at disease onset was 16.0 (range 6.5–17.9). Of 127 POMS cases, 20 (15.8%) developed SPMS. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model showed that at MS onset, brainstem involvement (adjusted hazard ratio 5.71; 95% confidence interval 1.53–21.30; P=0.010), and POMS patient age at MS onset (adjusted hazard ratio 1.38; 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.88; P=0.042) were significantly associated with the increased risk of a secondary progressive disease course. Conclusions: This study showed that POMS patients with brainstem/cerebellar presentation and a relatively higher age at MS onset had disposition for SPMS and warrant an aggressive therapeutic approach.
