    Abstract: e20540 Background: Repeat biopsy becomes important to determine subsequent treatment after failure of EGFR-TKI. However, some patients did not receive re-biopsy in real world. Here we retrospectively analyzed the reasons why the patients did not receive re-biopsy. Methods: We reviewed medical records of 235 patients treated with EGFR-TKI at our institution between January 2014 and September 2016 and analyzed the treatment, the progression site after failure of EGFR-TKI and the reasons why they did not receive re-biopsy. Results: 127 of 235 (54%) patients had tumor progression after treatment with EGFR-TKI and 93 (73.2%) of 127 patients received re-biopsy and 34 (26.8%) patients didn’t. The characteristics of 34 patients who did not received re-biopsy were; the median age, 67 years (29-83), male/ female: 12/22, PS0-1/2 ≥:27/7, stage IV/recurrence/other:20/10/4, smoking history never/ex/current: 15/17/2, histology : adeno/other 34/0, EGFR mutation type; 19del/L858R/Other = 13/15/6, prior EGFR-TKI; Gefitinib/Erlotinib/Afatinib/other: 22/9/2/1. The commonest reason why they did not receive re-biopsy was no target lesion to get biopsy (n = 13,38%). CT scans of these patients were retrospectively evaluated and it was confirmed that there were no lesions that could be accessed safely at that time. Central nervous system lesions, multiple small pulmonary lesions and bone metastasis were unaccessible lesions. Although 21 patients had accessible lesions including lung, superficial lymph nodes, pleural effusion, liver, they did not receive re-biopsy because of patient refusal (n = 9), worsening of general condition (n = 3), need for other therapy immediately (ex: chemotherapy, radiotherapy) (n = 3), old age (n = 2), existence of de novo T790M (n = 2), complications (n = 1) and physician’s choice (n = 1). Conclusions: Some patients who did not recieve re-biopsy had some target lesions and it could be increase the re-biopsy rate.

    Abstract: e20063 Background: RP is a major toxicity commonly observed in NSCLC patients who receive CRT; RP prediction is a critical issue. Although preexisting interstitial pneumonia (IP) is considered as one of the risk factors of RP, the correlation between interstitial lung shadows (ILSs) in the pretreatment CT scan and RP is not well examined. Methods: We reviewed patients with stage III NSCLC who received CRT at our hospital from January 2011 until December 2014. The pretreatment CT scans were retrospectively evaluated, and preexisting ILSs were classified according to the ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT statement for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) as follows: UIP pattern, possible UIP pattern, and others (not UIP pattern). The incidence, severity, and features of RP were compared between ILS patterns. Results: In total, 105 patients with stage III NSCLC had received CRT. ILSs in pretreatment CT scans were identified in 16 (15.2%) of 105 patients. Of all the identified patterns, one (0.9%) was UIP pattern, six (5.7%) were possible UIP pattern, and nine (8.6%) were not UIP pattern. Grade 3 or higher RP was observed in 2 of 7 (28.6%) patients with UIP pattern or possible UIP pattern and 1 of 9 (11.1%) patients with not UIP pattern ( P = 0.55). RP that extended outside the irradiation field like an acute exacerbation of IP was observed in 4 of 7 (57.1%) patients with UIP pattern or possible UIP pattern and 1 of 9 (11.1%) patients with not UIP pattern ( P = 0.106). Conclusions: Preexistence of ILSs classified as UIP pattern or possible UIP pattern should be considered as a risk factor for severe or extensive RP after CRT.

    Abstract: e23101 Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is the most important factor for determining the treatment strategy for non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Currently, two methods (cobas and Scorpion ARMS) have been approved as companion diagnostics for using EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Although there are some differences in the spectrums and sensitivities for detecting EGFRmutations such as exon 19 deletions (ex19del), L858R and T790M mutations, the extent of the differences affecting clinical practice is unclear. Methods: All patients with NSCLC who underwent EGFR mutation tests and treated at our hospital from February 2014 to February 2016 were enrolled. To detect EGFR mutations, the Scorpion ARMS (S) method was used from 2014 to 2015 and thecobasEGFR Mutation Test (C) from 2015 to 2016. We retrospectively investigated the detection rate of each EGFRmutation type and compared the rates between the two methods. Results: A total of 1,287 patients were enrolled. To detect EGFR mutations, 627 patients were tested by the S method and 660 by the C method, respectively. Of 1287 patients, 910 patients underwent initial biopsy, whereas 121 patients underwent re-biopsy after EGFR-TKI failure. EGFRmutations were detected in 130 of 418 (31.1%) patients and 153 of 492 (31.1%) patients by the S and C methods, respectively in the initial biopsy (P = 0.982). However, the detection rate of ex19del was slightly lower in the S method (12.6%) than in the C method (16.3%) (P = 0.105). Conversely, the detection rate of L858R was lower in the C method (13.8%) than in the S method (16.7%), but the difference was not significant (P = 0.252). De novo T790M was detected in one (0.2%) patient by the S method and in none by the C method. In re-biopsy after EGFR-TKI failure, the detection rates of T790M were as follows: 19 of 55 patients (34.5%) by the S method and 20 of 66 (30.3%) by the C method (P = 0.619). Conclusions: The different spectrums and sensitivities of EGFR mutations between the S and C methods were observed; however, they did not significantly affect clinical practice.

    Abstract: e23104 Background: RET fusion gene was found in 1–2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most of the reports published so far investigated only surgical specimens, and details of advanced tumors were unknown. This study explored the clinical and radiological characteristics of RET-rearranged lung cancers in advanced stages. Methods: Among 1,074 advanced NSCLC patients who were treated at The Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo, from 2012 to 2016, 14 cases (14/1,074 = 1.3%) were treated as RET- rearranged lung cancer. The cases were identified by FISH and / or by RT-PCR (FISH 3, RT-PCR 2, FISH and RT-PCR 8, unknown 1). The fusion partner genes included KIF5B (n = 10), CCDC6 (n = 1). Three were unknown. The tumor size, location, and shape/margins of the primary tumor as well as lymphadenopathy and site of metastasis were recorded based on computed tomography (CT) images taken right before the initial chemotherapy. Results: The median age of the 14 patients was 64 years (range, 34–79), with 10 patients (71%) over 60 years old. Nine patients (64%) were women, whereas 10 patients (71%) were never smokers. Eight patients were classified as stage IV and 6 underwent recurrence after surgery. We successfully evaluated CT images at the initial chemotherapy of 12 patients. Of the 7 patients whose primary lesions were detectable, all were located peripherally and were of a solid tumor type without ground-glass, air bronchograms, or cavitation. The median size of the primary lesion was 3.0 cm (range, 1.2–6.8), and 3 lesions were less than 3.0 cm. Only 5 patients had lymphadenopathy (4 were of Stage IV, 1 was a recurrence), most of which were isolated with a median size of 1.5 cm (range, 1.2–3.5). The sites of distant metastases included 8 pleural disseminations, 5 lungs, 5 bones, 3 livers, 2 brains, and 0 adrenals. Conclusions: Advanced RET-rearranged lung cancer manifested as a relatively small and peripherally located solid primary lesion with isolated lymphadenopathy. Pleural dissemination was frequently observed, whereas brain metastasis was less frequent. These features differ from EGFR-mutated or ALK-fused lung cancers.

    Abstract: e20583 Background: Programmed death-1 (PD-1) antibody is a key drug for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the response rate is about 20% in non-selected populations and efficacy is difficult to predict. We examined correlations between peripheral blood tests, including counts of lymphocytes (Lym), neutrophils (Neu), and C-reactive protein (CRP), and the efficacy of nivolumab (nivo) monotherapy. Methods: Eighty NSCLC patients treated with nivo (3mg/kg every 2 weeks) in our hospital between December 2015 and September 2016 were evaluated. Peripheral blood tests on day (d) 0 (the day before 1 st nivo), d15 (the day of 2 nd nivo), d29 (the day of 3 rd nivo) were evaluated. Absolute counts and the change ratio (%) of Lym, Neu and CRP from baseline (d0) were calculated. Response to nivo was evaluated according to RECIST v1.1. Results: Response to nivo was partial response in 23 cases, stable disease in 13 and progressive disease (PD) in 44 patients (overall response rate, 28%; disease control rate, 45%). Absolute counts of Lym, Neu and CRP at baseline did not differ significantly between non-PD and PD (Lym, 1323/µl vs. 1376/µl; Neu, 4830/µl vs. 5189/µl; CRP, 3.48 mg/dl vs. 3.38 mg/dl). Neu was significantly increased from baseline to d15 and d29 in the PD population compared with the non-PD population (δNeu (d15): 25.2% vs. -6.3%, P= 0.008; δNeu (d29): 16.7% vs. -8.6%, P= 0.006). CRP was also significantly increased from baseline to d29 in the PD population compared with the non-PD population (δCRP: 60.1% vs. -21.2%, P= 0.010). In contrast, Lym was significantly increased from baseline to d29 in the non-PD population compared with the PD population (δLym: 9.6% vs. –6.7%, P= 0.010). Conclusions: Changes in peripheral blood test results after nivo differed between non-PD and PD populations. Monitoring of Neu and Lym and CRP may allow prediction of the efficacy of nivo.

    Abstract: e20575 Background: A Phase III study (AURA3) demonstrated that osimertinib prolonged PFS compared to platinum doublet in patients with T790M-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibiting acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor- tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). Although the patients in the study had good PS and only one prior EGFR-TKI treatment, most practical patients had multiple prior EGFR-TKI and poor PS. Moreover, several patients exhibited symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastasis in clinical practice. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and toxicity of osimertinib in clinical practice. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 30 patients who were treated with osimertinib at our hospital from April 11th 2016 to September 30th 2016. The efficacy and toxicity was compared between the patients with matched and unmatched AURA3 eligibility criteria. Efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST ver.1.1 and toxicity was evaluated using CTCAE ver.4.0. Results: A total of 9 out of 30 patients matched the AURA3 eligibility criteria (PS ≤ 1 and one prior EGFT-TKI) and 21 patients were unmatched (PS ≥ 2 or two or more EGFR-TKI or symptomatic CNS metastasis). The overall response rate(ORR) of osimertinib was 78% and 67% for the matched and unmatched patients, respectively. The disease control rate (DCR) was 100% and 90% for the matched and unmatched patients, respectively. In addition, the response rate of symptomatic CNS metastasis was 67%. Regarding toxicity, grade 3/4 toxicities were observed in 22% of the matched patients and 33% of the unmatched patients. In the matched patients, the most frequent AE was a rash (89%) and the frequent grade 3/4 toxicities were a rash (22%) and pneumonitis (11%). In unmatched patients, the most frequent AE was also a rash (57%), but the frequent grade 3/4 toxicities were pneumonitis (14%), rash (10%), and neutropenia (10%). Conclusions: Both the ORR and DCR in the unmatched patients were slightly lower than the matched patients; however, osimertinib was still found to be beneficial in clinical practice.

    Abstract: e23105 Background: Anti-PD1/PD-L1 antibodies, including nivolumab, produce durable responses in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the response rate is about 20% in unselected NSCLC. Identifying predictive markers of response is necessary. Although PD-L1 expression may be a potential biomarker, evaluating whole tumors based on a small sample is difficult. Identifying radiographic features of responders can be very useful. We hypothesized that low attenuation on computed tomography (CT), considered to represent necrosis, correlates with nivolumab response. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated contrast-enhanced CT images before treatment and tumor response in 60 patients receiving nivolumab. The largest tumor lesion was characterized in each patient. CT attenuation (CTA) of whole tumor areas was measured; the presence of radiological findings of necrosis (necrotic features), presenting cavitation or ring- or patchy-enhancement in tumors, were assessed. We evaluated the association between CT imaging characteristics and nivolumab response and that between CT imaging characteristics and PD-L1 expression in tumors. Results: Thirty-nine target lesions in lung, 12 in lymph node, and 9 in other organs were chosen. The mean CTA was 58.5 ± 15.3 HU. Necrotic feature were observed in 24 (40%) of 60 lesions.Twenty of 60 lesions (33%) shrank to 〉 30% with nivolumab treatment. Mean CTA in responding lesions was 48.6 HU, significantly lower than that in nonresponding lesions (63.4 HU) (p 〈 0.001). The response rate of lesions with/without necrotic features was 45% and 28%, respectively (p = 0.246).Systemic tumor response, assessed by RECIST v1.1, was confirmed in 20 (33%) patients. Mean CTA of target lesions was lower in responders than patients with stable disease or progressive disease (51.4 vs. 62.0 HU, p = 0.011). The systemic response rate of lesions with/without necrotic features was 50% and 25%, respectively (p = 0.081).Mean CTA of target lesions was lower in tumors with high PD-L1 expression than in tumors with low PD-L1 expression (54.8 vs. 64.4 HU, p = 0.045). Conclusions: Low CTA and necrotic features in CT may correlate with nivolumab response. Tumors with low CTA may have high PD-L1 expression.
