Abstract 170P

Background

INFINITY captured RW profile and Tx strategies (chemotherapy-CT, immunotherapy-IO, radiotherapy-RT) of pts with ES NSCLC (IA-IIIC) in Greece, offering insights on inclusion of novel therapies in the clinic.

Methods

Nationwide, retrospective chart reviewstudy of 300 ES NSCLC pts diagnosed from 1/1/2016–31/12/2020 (index period) across st I/II/III (1:1:1), excluding pts in clinical trials. Observation period was from initial NSCLC diagnosis until occurrence of distant metastasis, informed consent obtention or death.

Results

Data from 300 pts were retrospectively abstracted in 16 centers from 13/10/2021 to 23/5/2022 (data cut off) accounting for 8.2% of ES NSCLC diagnoses at participating sites during index period. At inclusion, 41% of pts had progressed to higher NSCLC st and 38% were deceased. The table shows basic clinicopathologic characteristics. All but 3 pts received any Tx; 75% had surgical resection (93%, 90%, 41% of pts in st I, II, III, respectively), 74% received systemic treatment (ST) (38%, 85% and 98% of pts in st I, II, III, respectively) comprised mainly of CT (91%), and 29% had RT (in 10%, 14%, 61% of pts in st I, II, III, respectively). Overall, 68% of pts were managed with combined modality therapy. Among st III pts Tx patterns were highly variable; 42% had definitive CT-RT without surgery, whereas among resected pts, 71% received adjuvant ST, 20% neoadjuvant, and 5% both. Overall, 46% of all pts had biomarker testing: 33% for PD-L1 (70% PD-L1≥1%), 31% EGFR (16% pos), 28% ALK (2% pos), 16% BRAF (10% pos) and 13% KRAS (32% pos).

Performance Status

Conclusions

Combined modality therapy is required in about 3/4 of ES-NSCLC pts. Less than 20% st III pts receive neoadjuvant systemic Tx. Biomarker testing rates in ES NSCLC are low. In view of the fast-evolving treatment landscape in ES NSCLC, above data are essential to support informed healthcare decision making.
