e18014 Background: With the increasing use of oral anticancer treatments understanding adherence patterns and patient’s information about therapy has become critical. Enzalutamide (ENZ) and Abiraterone acetate (AA) are orally administered drugs approved for the treatment of mCRPC widely prescribed; however, scarce information is available about treatment compliance and patient’s information about these compounds. This study aims to evaluate the adherence to AA and ENZ and the patient’s drug knowledge in mCRPC patients. Methods: A 20-question survey is being delivered to patients with mCRPC receiving either AA or ENZ in 8 centers across Spain. Questions cover items such as demographics, drug information, adherence and perceived benefits among other topics. Surveying is still ongoing. Results: Fifty patients have completed the survey at this time. Mean age is 72 years (range 58-87), educational level is basic in 56 %. Median duration of treatment was 9,5 months. Adherence reported is very high with 84% of the patients taking 100% of prescribed doses and 100% more than 75%. Treatment compliance does not seem to decrease over time despite only 42% of the patients reported the use of devices to secure adherence. A high compliance correlated with better symptom control. Nonetheless, many areas of improvement have been also identified. About a quarter of the patients (26%) ignored the name of the drug they were receiving and 24% whether or not they were in a clinical trial. Almost all patients were not aware of the planned duration of treatment and 70 % recognized that they did not know the consequences of a bad adherence. Eleven patients (22%) were taking AA with food outside of a clinical trial and three patients (6%) reported inadequate dosage (i.e q 12h). Conclusions: While in other diseases adherence to oral therapies has been identified as a potential limiting factor with impact in efficacy, in our series of mCRPC treatment compliance was high and maintained overtime. Yet, serious patient education pitfalls were identified. Data collection is ongoing and further analysis will be presented.
Background AURA study reported 61% objective response rate and progression-free survival of 9.6 months with osimertinib in patients with EGFR/T790M+ non-small cell lung cancer. Due to lack of real-world data, we proposed this study to describe the experience with osimertinib in Spain. Methods Post-authorization, non-interventional Special Use Medication Program, multicenter, retrospective study in advanced EGFR/T790M+ non-small cell lung cancer. One hundred-fifty five patients were enrolled (August 2016–December 2018) from 30 sites. Primary objective: progression-free survival. Secondary objectives: toxicity profile, objective response rate, and use of health service resources. Results 70% women, median age 66. 63.9% were non-smokers and 99% had adenocarcinoma. Most patients had received at least one prior treatment (97%), 91.7% had received previous EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors and 2.8% osimertinib as first-line treatment. At data cutoff, median follow-up was 11.8 months. One hundred-fifty five patients were evaluable for response, 1.3% complete response, 40.6% partial response, 31% stable disease and 11.6% disease progression. Objective response rate was 42%. Median progression-free survival was 9.4 months. Of the 155 patients who received treatment, 76 (49%) did not reported any adverse event, 51% presented some adverse event, most of which were grade 1 or 2. The resource cost study indicates early use is warranted. Conclusion This study to assess the real-world clinical impact of osimertinib showed high drug activity in pretreated advanced EGFR/T790M+ non-small cell lung cancer, with manageable adverse events. Trial registration Clinical trial registration number:NCT03790397.
Introduction SCLC is one of the most lethal malignancies. Classically, staging has been performed using a dual classification distinguishing limited from the extensive stage. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of TNM staging in a real-world population of patients with SCLC. Methods Patients were selected from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database. Chi-square bivariate analysis was used for the association of binary qualitative variables. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the impact of these prognostic factors on median overall survival (mOS) and long-term survival. Results A total of 26,221 patients were included (50.7% men, 55.7% ≥65 y, 82% White). At diagnosis, 18,574 (70.83%) presented metastases, which were more frequent in the liver (n = 11,896, 64%). In the overall population, mOS was 8 (7.86–8.14) months, which decreased according to each increasing category of TNM staging ( p < 0.0001). The worse mOS was found among patients with stage IV SCLC (6 mo, 95% confidence interval: 5.83–6.17). Long-term survival decreased according to TNM staging, with patients having stage IV SCLC exhibiting the lowest survival rates at all follow-up time points. Within stage IV, the lowest mOS values were found in patients greater than or equal to 65 years and in those with liver metastases. Among the TNM stages corresponding to the limited stage, stage IB revealed the lowest hazard ratios value for risk of death compared with stage IA (hazard ratio = 1.161, 95% confidence interval: 0.97–1.40, p = 0.114), which increased gradually within the limited-stage SCLC. In the multivariate analysis, TNM staging, male sex, and older age resulted in poor prognostic factors for survival. Conclusions TNM staging seems to define prognosis in patients with SCLC in the real-world setting, particularly for those patients with earlier disease.

1864 patients were enrolled to be screened, of whom NGS was available for 1672. 73% of the sequenced tumor samples were archival and 27% were fresh biopsies; there were no significant differences in prevalence of genetic alterations between these. MEGSA identified two non-overlapping sets of mutually exclusive gene alterations with a false discovery rate (FDR) < 15%: NFE2L2, KEAP1 and PARP4 (FDR ¼ 4.1%) and CDKN2A and RB1 (FDR ¼ 13.1%). Mutual exclusivity of NFE2L2 and KEAP1 alterations has been previously observed, e.g., in TCGA, however mutual exclusivity of PARP4 and NFE2L2 or KEAP1 alterations is a novel finding. SELECT identified 41 pairs of mutually exclusive and 95 pairs of co-occurring gene alterations. Top significant co-occurring pairs that appeared in this dataset but not TCGA include CDKN2A and TP53, KRAS and STK11, HGF and MLL2, PDGFRB and SMARCA4, NFE2L2 and TP53, ATRX and RUNX1T1, GRIN2A and NCOR1, and MCL1 and MYCN. Male sex and smoking history were associated with poorer survival. When these and other clinical covariates were incorporated in Cox proportional hazards models, there were no individual genetic variants that were associated with survival; however, NFE2L2 and KEAP1 alterations when taken together were associated with poorer survival. Conclusion: This analysis of the Lung-MAP S1400 NGS data features a substantially larger sample size than any previously published dataset of squamous cell lung cancers, although it is limited to genes sequenced on the FoundationOne T5 platform. Compared to TCGA, this dataset features a homogeneous set of subjects all with previously treated advanced disease and enrolled on a clinical trial. Novel findings, including mutual exclusivity of PARP4 and NFE2L2 or KEAP1 alterations, suggest that PARP4 may have a hitherto undiscovered role in a key pathway known to impact responses to oxidative stress and treatment resistance.
