Abstract

Canakinumab is a human IgGκ monoclonal antibody, with high affinity and specificity for IL-1β. The Canakinumab Anti-Inflammatory Thrombosis Outcome Study (CANTOS) trial, evaluating canakinumab for cardiovascular disease, provided the first signal of the potential of IL-1β inhibition on lung cancer incidence reduction. Here, we describe the rationale and design for CANOPY-N, a randomized Phase II trial evaluating IL-1β inhibition with or without immune checkpoint inhibition as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Patients with stage IB to IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer eligible for complete resection will receive canakinumab or pembrolizumab as monotherapy, or in combination. The primary end point is major pathological response by central review; secondary end points include overall response rate, major pathological response (local review), surgical feasibility rate and pharmacokinetics.Lay abstract A previous study showed that canakinumab reduced the risk of lung cancer in patients with heart disease. Canakinumab blocks an inflammatory protein called IL-1β that is involved in cancer. Anti-cancer drugs used before surgery (‘neo-adjuvant’) can improve the success rate of surgery and may help prevent the cancer from returning. Neo-adjuvant trials help us understand how the drugs work and how they affect cancer. CANOPY-N (NCT03968419) is an ongoing randomized, exploratory, Phase II clinical trial testing canakinumab and pembrolizumab (a different cancer immunotherapy), alone or combined, for patients with early non-small-cell lung cancer. The study will test whether treatment can kill most cancer cells in the surgery sample (‘major pathological response’). It will also investigate other effects on cancer biology, levels of molecules that measure possible clinical benefit (‘biomarkers’) and side effects.

Abstract

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the treatment landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), either used in monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy. While some patients achieve durable responses, some will not get benefit from this treatment. Early identification of non- responder patients could avoid unnecessary treatment, potentially serious immune-related adverse events and reduce treatment costs. PD-L1 expression using immunohistochemistry is the only approved biomarker for the selection of patients that can benefit from immunotherapy. However, application of PD-L1 as a biomarker of treatment efficacy shows many deficiencies probably due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and the technical limitations of the samples. Thus, there is an urgent need to find other biomarkers, ideally blood biomarkers to help us to identify different subgroups of patients in a minimal invasive way. In this review, we summarize the emerging blood-based markers that could help to predict the response to ICIs in NSCLC.

Abstract

[Background] Approximately 30% of tumor biopsies from patients with advanced-stage lung adenocarcinomas yield insufficient tissue for successful molecular subtyping. We have analyzed the clinical utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with inadequate tumor samples for tissue genotyping. [Patients and methods] We conducted the study in a multi-institutional prospective cohort of clinically unselected patients with advanced-stage lung adenocarcinomas with insufficient tissue for EGFR, ALK or ROS1 genotyping across 12 Spanish institutions (n = 93). ctDNA NGS was carried out by Guardant Health (Guardant360, Redwood City, CA), using a hybrid-capture-based 73-gene panel. Variants were deemed actionable if they were part of the OncoKB precision oncology knowledge database and classified in four levels of actionability based on their clinical or preclinical evidence for drug response. [Results] Eighty-three out of 93 patients (89%) had detectable levels of ctDNA. Potentially actionable level 1–4 genomic alterations were detected in 53 cases (57%), of which 13 (14%) had level 1–2A alterations (Food and Drug Administration-approved and standard-care biomarkers according to lung cancer guidelines). Frequencies of each genomic alteration in ctDNA were consistent with those observed in unselected pulmonary adenocarcinomas. The majority of the patients (62%), particularly those with actionable alterations (87%), had more than one pathogenic variant in ctDNA. The median turnaround time to genomic results was 13 days. Twelve patients (13%) received genotype-matched therapies based on ctDNA results, deriving the expected clinical benefit. Patients with co-occurring pathogenic alterations had a significantly shorter median overall survival as compared with patients without co-occurring pathogenic alteration (multivariate hazard ratio = 5.35, P = 0.01). [Conclusion] Digital NGS of ctDNA in lung cancers with insufficient tumor samples for tissue sequencing detects actionable variants that frequently co-occur with other potentially clinically relevant genomic alterations, allowing timely initiation of genotype-matched therapies., Research grant support was provided by Guardant Health Inc. (grant number C16/12/00442) for plasma-based comprehensive genomic testing.

Abstract

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) characterized by mesenchymal – epithelial transition component and awful prognosis. In this report, based on a case of stage IV lung sarcomatoid carcinoma with an extraordinary evolution and survival over 4 years, we address unresolved questions about the treatment of this cancer. We also make a literature review about the key factors that characterize this histology and that should be considered when treating those patients. Sarcomatoid carcinoma presents with mutations as KRAS, EGFR, ALK or MET in up to 70% of cases, and an important expression of PD-L1 (also called B7-H1), which can influence treatment of those patients with new drugs as immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immunotherapy has changed the horizon of patients with stage IV lung cancers without driver mutations, as their survival has improved extraordinary. Moreover, radical treatments are being considered in long survivors with oligometastatic disease. In this report, we review targeted and radical therapy, treatment duration and the mechanisms responsible of disease evolution of sarcomatoid tumors., Highlights • Sarcomatoid lung cancer is a rare entity with awful prognosis. • It may express driver mutations for potential treatment of those patients. • There are arising data of efficacy of immunotherapy in sarcomatoid lung carcinoma.

Abstract

Objectives Neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions might be an off-target resistance mechanism to ALK Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) in the same way as it has been suggested with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) TKIs. Materials and methods DNA and RNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on the resected brain metastasis of a patient with advanced ALK Rearranged Non–Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC) after resistance to several ALK TKIs including third generation ALK inhibitor, for pathological diagnosis and molecular resistance mechanism analysis. Results and conclusion NGS revealed an EML4-NTRK3 fusion that was confirmed by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Despite having two potential targetable fusions, the patient did not respond to entrectinib, a multi-targeted pan-RTK, ROS1 and ALK inhibitor. NGS analysis in blood or tissues samples should be encouraged once resistance develops to TKIs in patients with ALK rearrangements, as actionable fusions, mutations or amplifications might arise as resistance mechanism and some patients could benefit from targeted therapy.

Abstract

Introduction Uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations (u-EGFRm) are a heterogeneous group of molecular alterations and have also been reported as comutations with other EGFR mutations (complex mutations) in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Afatinib has shown activity against some u-EGFRm, and we examined its efficacy in Spanish clinical practice. Patients and Methods Data of 67 patients with advanced NSCLC with u-EGFRm treated with afatinib between 2012 and 2017 at 23 Spanish institutions were reviewed. u-EGFRm were analyzed as complex mutations (group A), EGFR exon 20 insertions (ins20; group B), or single mutations (group C). Efficacy was evaluated in terms of overall survival (OS) and tumor response. Results Group A complex u-EGFRm consisted of double mutations of G719X+E709F, G719X+S768I, G719X+L861Q, L858R+T790M, L858R+S768I, L858R+S765I, del19+S768I, del19+L747S, or R776C+L861Q. No differences in clinical characteristics were found between groups A (n = 20), B (n = 23), and C (n = 24). Afatinib was administered as first-line therapy in 80% of patients. Median time of receipt of therapy was 4.2 months (range, 2.0–12.9 months). Median OS for the entire cohort was 19.9 months (95% confidence interval, 9.7, 30.1). Hazard ratios for OS were 0.26 (95% confidence interval, 0.10, 0.71; P = .008) and 0.40 (95% confidence interval, 0.17, 0.95; P = .037) for groups A and C compared to B, respectively. Response was significantly higher in groups A (70%) and C (54%) compared to B (13%; pairwise comparison P Conclusion In clinical practice, afatinib was active in patients with u-EGFRm NSCLC, particularly in complex and single mutations. Further strategies are needed for patients with ins20, a subgroup u-EGFRm with a lower clinical benefit with afatinib.

Abstract

Intratumoral therapies, especially Toll-like receptor agonists, can trigger both the innate and adaptive immune systems. BO-112 is a nanoplexed form of polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) that induces local and systemic immunotherapeutic effects in mouse models. In a multicenter phase 1 clinical trial, repeated intratumoral administrations of BO-112 induced an increase in tumor cell necrosis and apoptosis, as well as augmented immune reactivity according to gene expression profiling. The first three cohorts receiving BO-112 as a monotherapy resulted in a recommended dose of 1 mg that could be safely repeated. Two grade 3 to 4 adverse reactions in the form of reversible thrombocytopenia were reported. In a fourth cohort of 28 patients with tumors that had primary resistance to anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), the combination of intratumoral BO-112 with nivolumab or pembrolizumab was also well tolerated, and 3 patients (2 with melanoma and 1 with renal cell carcinoma) achieved partial responses, with 10 more patients having stable disease at 8 to 12 weeks. Thus, local BO-112 combined with a systemic anti-PD-1 agent might be a strategy to revert anti-PD-1 resistance.

Abstract

[Objectives] Resistance to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is a clinical challenge in patients with oncogene-driven non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). We have analyzed the utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to impact the clinical care of patients with TKI resistance., [Materials and methods] We conducted a multi-institutional prospective study including consecutive EGFR, ALK, or ROS1-altered NSCLC patients with TKI resistance from 12 Spanish institutions. Post-progression ctDNA NGS was performed by Guardant Health (Guardant360 assay)., [Results] We included 53 patients separated in 3 cohorts: 31 EGFR-mutant NSCLCs with first/second-generation TKI resistance (cohort 1), 15 EGFR T790M + NSCLCs with osimertinib resistance (cohort 2), and 7 ALK/ROS1-rearranged NSCLCs with crizotinib and/or next-generation TKI resistance (cohort 3). Besides Guardant360, 22 patients from cohort 1 (71%) underwent post-progression tumor biopsies and/or alternative plasma-based genotyping. In the entire study population, 34 patients (64%) had reliable evidence of tumor-DNA shed for resistance assessment, and 24 patients (45%) had actionable alterations. Target-independent pathogenic alterations were frequently detected, particularly at osimertinib resistance. Eleven patients (20%) received subsequent molecular-guided therapies indicated by plasma NGS alone (n = 9, 17%), or plasma NGS and tissue sequencing (n = 2, 4%), deriving the expected clinical benefit. Of these, 9 had EGFR T790 M mutation and received osimertinib, 1 had ALK G1202R mutation and received lorlatinib, and 1 had ROS1 G2032R mutation and received cabozantinib. Two additional cases from cohort 1 (6%) had undetectable EGFR T790 M by Guardant360 but were T790M + by tissue and BEAMing digital PCR respectively, and also received osimertinib., [Conclusion] NGS of ctDNA detects actionable alterations in a large proportion of oncogene-driven NSCLC patients with TKI resistance, and can be used to guide subsequent treatments as a complement or alternative to tissue or PCR-based plasma genotyping in the real-world clinical setting., J.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The management of glioblastoma (GB) in elderly patients is not well established, since until recently they have been excluded from randomized trials and there are concerns about the toxicity. METHODS: The authors retrospectively reviewed 53 patients at a single institution from 2005 to 2013. Patients were 70 years of age and older with histologically confirmed GB. RESULTS: Median age was 75 years (70-88y). Fifty-six percent men, 43% women. Majority had some kind of minor morbidity (89%), mainly arterial hypertension (55%). Complete resection was performed in 52%. Biopsy in 8%. 90% had presurgical KPS >70. Seven (14%) had worse KPS after surgery. 71% received radiotherapy, in 45% 60 Gy and in 26% 30 Gy. Nearly 40% were treated with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. The median number of cycles was 4,43 (1-14). 6% had grade 3 or 4 neutropenia or trombocitopenia. 24% had grade 1 asthenia or nausea and vomits. Median overall survival (OS) for the whole cohort was 7,36 m (95% CI 4,8-9,8). Median progression free survival was 5.9 m (3-8.7m). Treatment with temozolomide concomitant and adjuvant (Stupp regimen) was associated with longer OS (11,16 vs 4,1m p = 0.008 ). The median OS was 8,3 m. for those who received radiotherapy and 1,5m for those who did not (p = 0,046). No statistical differences were found between those treated with 60 or 30 Gy (p = 0.143). Nearly 10% was older than 80. Median OS in these patients was 4,2m even though 71% had a complete resection. CONCLUSION: In our experience, in selected patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma over the age of 70, more intensive treatment was associated with prolonged OS, and results are close to those obtained in younger patients. Nevertheless these are retrospective data, selection bias should be considerer. Further randomized trial should be conducted to investigate this topic.

Abstract

737 Background: There is some evidence relating delay of surgery (DS) by more than 8 weeks after the end of chemoradiotherapy and achievement of complete pathological response (ypCR). However, the relationship with overall survival (OS) seems to be negative. Methods: Records of 171 patients diagnosed from January 2003 to December 2011 with rectal adenocarcinoma T3/T4 and/or positive node staged by ultrasound or MRI were collected retrospectively from the Pathology Department database. Results: Of the 171 patients, 62% were male, median age at diagnosis 69.3 years (31.3 years -85.3 years). All of them received 50.4 Gy with different concomitant regimens (capecitabine, continuous infusion of fluoracil or bolus of fluoracil-leucovorin). 72.5% of the cohort received adjuvant chemotherapy. 13% of patients achieved ypCR, independently of DS (13.7% in DS vs 11.8%, p 0.722). OS was significantly worse among DS patients (67.9 months vs 54.8 months, p 0.016). In addition, more sphincter preservations (SP) were not achieved (60.8% in DS vs 57.1%, p 0.881). Conclusions: In contrast with published literature, in our cohort DS failed to show higher rates of ypCR. Neither an improvement in OS or SP was observed with DS. It is recommended that clinical trials be designed in order to establish ideal surgical timing.

Abstract

17 Background: Patients diagnosed with gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) have a poor prognosis despite curative attempts with multimodal treatment including surgery, chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT). VEGF, EpCAM, MUC1, CK19 and CK20 and CD133 have shown to provide additional prognostic information in advanced GEA patients. Methods: Circulating mRNA of total VEGF (and 2 VEGF isoforms 121 and 165), EpCAM, MUC1 and CD133 were determined in 36 loco-regional GEA patients (pts). Blood samples were collected before surgery or, when indicated, before the preoperative chemotherapy treatment, within a 7 days window. Additionally, 14 healthy volunteers and 7 advanced GEA pts were included to comparative analyses. The Wilcoxon test was used to assess differences in expression among the groups. Results: Pre-surgery CT was administered in 30 pts (79%). ECF or its modifications were administered in 22 pts, and FOLFOX in 7 pts. Type of resection achieved was R0 (19 pts, 59%), R1(7 pts, 22%) and R2 (6 pts, 10%). Post-surgery CT was administered in 22 pts (73%) including ECF or its modifications (10 pts), FOLFOX (7 pts) and CT-RT (4 pts). PFS occurred in 19 pts (61%) and 34 patients remained alive at the time of this analysis. Patients diagnosed with loco-regional GEA exhibited over expression as compared to healthy volunteers of VEGFi121 in 17 pts (47%) by 33-fold median change (IQR 5-43, %, p = 0.0008); VEGFi165 in 17 pts (47%) by 15-fold (IQR 5-36, p = 0.002); total VEGF in 19 pts (53%) by 15 fold (IQR 8-59, p = 0.01); EpCAM in 8 pts (22%) by 3-fold (IQR 0.5-3, NS); MUC1 in 19 pts (53%) by 23-fold (IQR7-59, p = 0.0008); and CD133 in 2 pts (6%) by 55-fold (IQR 28-83, NS). CK20 expression was not detected in healthy controls but was detected in 3 patients. Conclusions: VEGF and its isoforms VEGF121 and VEGF165 and MUC1 are potential diagnostic biomarkers in GEA. Due to the short follow-up of patients we cannot yet evaluate their role as prognostic biomarkers.
