Abstract 3259
Background
Although immunotherapy impressively improved the outcome of APNSCLC, many patients (pts) rapidly progress. The mechanism of resistance may be influenced by genomic abnormalities in immune-escape/editing genes.
Methods
FFPE-tumor blocks of APNSCLC pts undergone NIV were retrospectively sequenced for Somatic Mutations/Copy Number Variations (SM/CNV) (Ampliseq 17-genes customized panel: APLNR, B2M, IFNAR1, IFNAR2, IFNGR1, IFNGR2, IRF9, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, PIAS4, PTPN2, SOCS1, STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, TYK2). End-points of PRINCiPe study: overall-, progression-free-survival (OS/PFS) and objective response rate (ORR).
Results
24 APNSCLC pts were gathered (median age 69.5 yrs, median number of previous lines 3 [2-5], 2nd line NIV [70.8%], male/female 79.2/20.8%, squamous/non- squamous 41.7/58.3%, EGFR mutant 5 [20.8%], median follow-up 6.8 months [range 1-23], deaths 14 [58.3%]). JAK3/JAK2 (6/3 pts, 25/12.5%) CNV, and IFNAR2/STAT3 SM (2 pts, 8.3%) were the most frequent abnormalities. Pts (12) with JAK3, PIAS4, PTPN2, STAT3, IFNAR2 SM and/or JAK2/3 CNV (IGS+) had a significantly lower OS/PFS than those without (IGS-). At multivariate analysis, IGS+ was independently associated with shorter OS (HR 4.90, 95% CI 1.40-16.5, p = 0.01) and PFS (HR 6.10, 95% CI 2.0-18.7, p = 0.001); the (previous) surgery was significantly associated with longer PFS (HR 4.20, 95% CI 1.1-11.4, p = 0.03). IGS+ pts were significantly more associated with the presence of liver metastases (p = 0.04). A trend towards lower activity of NIV in EGFR+ pts was found.Table: 1417P
IGS+ | IGS- | p-value | |
---|---|---|---|
ORR (%, 95% CI) | - | 16.6% (2-31) | 0.09 |
Median OS (months, 95% CI) | 4 (1-8) | 13 (n.e.) | 0.046 |
Median PFS (months, 95% CI) | 3 (2-3.5) | 6 (5-9) | 0.002 |
Conclusions
The derived IGS appears to identify APNSCLC pts with a lower chance to benefit from NIV, supporting intrinsic resistance. Given the small sample, a prospective larger and external validation is ongoing.
