Abstract 5900
Background
Although the dramatic activity of EGFR TKIs for EGFR-mutant ANSCLC, nearly 20% of pts do progress rapidly. Poor prognosis was demonstrated to be associated with TH, which may be mirrored by the co-existance of concomitant mutant drivers, such as PTEN. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the correlation between the loss of function of PTEN (as a mirror of TH), and the activity/efficacy of EGFR-TKIs for advanced EGFR mutant ANSCLC pts.
Methods
FFPE-tumor blocks of EGFR-mutant ANSCLC pts undergone upfront TKIs from 2015 to 2017 were retrospectively collected (follow-up >18 mo. was required for maturity). The status of 4 genes (PTEN, TP53, c-MET, IGFR) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and it was correlated with objective response rate (ORR), overall- and progression-free-survival (OS/PFS). Kaplan-Maier (KM) analysis was performed for independent factors at multivariate analysis.
Results
Forty-two EGFR-mutant ANSCLC pts were included [median age 65 yrs (42-86); M/F: 45/55%; current/former/never smoker: 13.5/35/51.5%; PS (ECOG) 0/1/2/3: 30/55/12.5/2.5%; GEF/AFA/ERL: 72.5/25/2.5%; del19/L858R/rare: 60/35/5%]. At multivariate analysis, PTEN loss (HR 6.02, 95% CI 2.48-14.5, p < 0.0001) and metastatic sites >2 (HR 2.38, 95% CI 1.01-5.62, p = 0.048) were significantly associated with shorter PFS. At KM analysis, pts with PTEN loss (13) had a median PFS of 2.0 mo. (95% CI 0-5.4) and a 1-year PFS of 7.7%, in comparison with pts without (27), median PFS 18.3 mo. (95% CI 16.5-20.1), 1-year PFS 69.6% (log-rank p < 0.0001). Coherently, at the multivariate analysis, PTEN loss (HR 5.11, 95% CI 2.06-12.6, p < 0.0001) and PS of 2-3 (HR 6.57, 95% CI 2.01-21.5, p < 0.002) were significantly associated with shorter OS. Pts with PTEN loss had a median OS of 4.5 mo. (95% CI 0.2-8.9) and a 1-year PFS of 15.4%, in comparison with pts without, median OS 26.9 mo. (95% CI 16.7-37.1), 1-year OS 81.5% (log-rank p < 0.0001).
Conclusions
A low-cost and reproducible IHC assay for PTEN-loss analysis represents a potential tool for identifying TH of EGFR-mutant ANSCLC pts. A powered clinical validation is currently ongoing.
