RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: First-line pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy + osimertinib(Pem-Plat-Osi) improves progression-free survival as compared to osimertinib alone in advanced epidermal growth factor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, many patients are hesitant to commence chemotherapy upfront. We describe outcomes to Pem-Plat-Osi after first-line osimertinib failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced EGFR-mutated (ex19del/L858R) NSCLC who had Pem-Plat-Osi between 1/7/2018-30/9/2023 after progression on first-line osimertinib at National Cancer Centre Singapore, Prince of Wales Hospital and Chinese University of Hong Kong were identified. Key endpoints were time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: A total of 60 patients were included. Median age at diagnosis was 62, 53.3 % (32/60) were male and 76.7 % (46/60) were never smokers. Ex19del comprised 56.7 % (34/60) and L858R 43.3 % (26/60). Baseline central nervous system (CNS) metastases were present in 66.7 % (40/60). Median TTF on osimertinib (TTF1) was 14.4 months(m) and median time to initiation of Pem-Plat-Osi was 41 days(d) (range 0-652) after progression on osimertinib. Partial response (PR) or stable disease to Pem-Plat-Osi was achieved in 81.7 %(49/60). Intracranial disease control was achieved in 90.6 % (29/32) of patients with measurable CNS metastases, including those who did not undergo brain radiotherapy. At median follow up of 31.2 m, median TTF on Pem-Plat-Osi (TTF2) was 6.6 m. Median TTF1 + TTF2 was 23.4 m and median OS was 34.2 m. Survival outcomes were similar comparing ex19del and L858R (median TTF1 + TTF2 21.8 m vs 23.5 m, p = 0.90; median OS 34.2 m vs 36.8 m, p = 0.37) and in patients without/with baseline CNS metastases (median TTF1 + TTF2 21.8 m vs 23.4 m, p = 0.44; median OS 36.2 m vs 31.9 m, p = 0.65). TTF1 duration was not significantly associated with TTF2 (p = 0.76). Patients who started Pem-Plat-Osi within 20d of progression on osimertinib had significantly longer TTF2 as compared to patients who started after 20d (median 8.4 m versus 6.0 months, p = 0.03), which remained statistically significant on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Our real-world data supports the efficacy of Pem-Plat-Osi after progression on first-line osimertinib, including L858R and baseline CNS metastases. Chemotherapy initiation within 20d of Osi progression was predictive of superior TTF2.

Druggable oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer has led to innovative systemic treatment options, improving patients' outcome. This benefit is not only achieved in the metastatic setting but also in the postsurgical setting, such as in lung cancers harboring a common sensitizing EGFR mutation or ALK-rearrangement. To enhance the outcome of these patients, we need to understand the mechanisms of acquired resistance and evaluate the role of new drugs with novel mechanisms of action in the treatment landscape. In this chapter, we review treatment strategies of EGFR-mutant tumors in all stages, the mechanisms of acquired strategies, and novel therapies in this subset.

BACKGROUND: In early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), recurrence is frequently observed. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a noninvasive tool to risk stratify patients for recurrence after curative intent therapy. This study aimed to risk stratify patients with early-stage NSCLC via a personalized, tumor-informed multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) next-generation sequencing assay. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included patients with stage I-III NSCLC. Recruited patients received standard-of-care management (surgical resection with or without adjuvant chemotherapy, followed by surveillance). Whole-exome sequencing of NSCLC resected tissue and matched germline DNA was used to design patient-specific mPCR assays (Signatera, Natera, Inc) to track up to 16 single-nucleotide variants in plasma samples. RESULTS: The overall cohort with analyzed plasma samples consisted of 57 patients. Stage distribution was 68% for stage I and 16% each for stages II and III. Presurgery (i.e., at baseline), ctDNA was detected in 15 of 57 patients (26%). ctDNA detection presurgery was significantly associated with shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS; hazard ratio [HR], 3.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-12.62; p = .009). In the postsurgery setting, ctDNA was detected in seven patients, of whom 100% experienced radiological recurrence. ctDNA positivity preceded radiological findings by a median lead time of 2.8 months (range, 0-12.9 months). Longitudinally, ctDNA detection at any time point was associated with shorter RFS (HR, 16.1; 95% CI, 1.63-158.9; p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS: ctDNA detection before surgical resection was strongly associated with a high risk of relapse in early-stage NSCLC in a large unique Asian cohort. Prospective studies are needed to assess the clinical utility of ctDNA status in this setting.

Treatment with 3 years of adjuvant osimertinib is considered a new standard in patients with completely resected stage I to IIIA NSCLC harboring a common sensitizing EGFR mutation. This therapeutic approach significantly prolonged the disease-free survival and the overall survival versus placebo and revealed a significant role in preventing the occurrence of brain metastases. However, many unanswered questions remain, including the optimal duration of this therapy, whether all patients benefit from adjuvant osimertinib, and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in this population. Indeed, there is a renewed interest in neoadjuvant strategies with targeted therapies in resectable NSCLC harboring oncogenic drivers. In light of these considerations, we discuss the past and current treatment options, and the clinical challenges that should be addressed to optimize the treatment outcomes in this patient population.

AIM: To determine the prognostic value of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) score in early-stage epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), contrasted against EGFR-wildtype NSCLC. METHODS: Consecutive patients with Stage IA-IIIA NSCLC diagnosed 1st January 2010-31st December 2019 at National Cancer Centre Singapore with evaluable EGFR and PD-L1 status were included. Co-primary end-points were 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) by Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: 455 patients were included (267 EGFR-mutated, EGFR-M+; 188 EGFR-wildtype, wt). Median age at diagnosis was 65 years, 52.3% (238/455) of patients were males, 62.9% (286/455) of patients were never-smokers and 92.5% (421/455) of patients had R0 resection. Stage IA comprised 42.4% (193/455) of patients, Stage IB comprised 23.1% (105/455) of patients, Stage IIA comprised 10.8% of patients (49/455), Stage IIB comprised 5.1% of patients (23/455) and Stage IIIA comprised 18.7% (85/455) of patients. Among EGFR-M+, 45.3% (121/267) were Ex19del and 41.9% (112/267) were L858R. PD-L1 ≥1% among EGFR-M+ and EGFR-wt was 45.3% (121/267) and 54.8% (103/188) respectively (p = 0.047). At median follow-up of 47 months, 178 patients had relapsed. Among EGFR-M+, 2-year DFS comparing PD-L1 <1% and PD-L1 ≥1% was 78.1% and 67.6% (p = 0.007) while 5-year OS was 59.5% and 42.8% (p = 0.001), respectively. Controlling for age, gender, lymphovascular invasion, adjuvant therapy and resection margin status, PD-L1 ≥1% (hazard ratio, HR 2.18, 95% CI 1.04-4.54, p = 0.038), stage IIB (HR 7.78, 95% CI 1.72-35.27, p = 0.008) and stage IIIA (HR 4.45, 95% CI 1.44-13.80, p = 0.01) emerged as independent predictors of inferior OS on multivariable analysis. In exploratory analysis, genomic analysis of 81 EGFR-M+ tumours was performed. PD-L1 ≥1% tumours had significantly higher rates of TP53 mutations (36.1% versus 15.6%, p = 0.04), with predominantly missense mutations. CONCLUSION: PD-L1 ≥1% is an independent predictor of worse OS among early-stage EGFR-mutated NSCLC and is associated with inferior DFS regardless of EGFR status. PD-L1 score as a risk stratification factor should be evaluated in prospective adjuvant studies among EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

Targeted therapies have revolutionized the treatment and improved the outcome for oncogene-driven NSCLC and an increasing number of oncogenic driver therapies have become available. For MET-dysregulated NSCLC (especially MET exon 14 skipping mutations and MET-amplifications, which is one of the most common bypass mechanisms of resistance in oncogene-addicted NSCLC), several anti-MET-targeted therapies have been approved recently (MET exon 14 skipping mutation) and multiple others are in development. In this narrative review, we summarize the role of MET as an oncogenic driver in NSCLC, discuss the different testing methods for exon 14 skipping mutations, gene amplification, and protein overexpression, and review the existing data and ongoing clinical trials regarding targeted therapies in MET-altered NSCLC. As immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy has become the standard of care for advanced NSCLC, immunotherapy data for MET-dysregulated NSCLC are put into perspective. Finally, we discuss future challenges in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Introduction: To compare the performance of droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and plasma next-generation sequencing (NGS) in detecting clearance of plasma EGFR (pEGFR) mutations. Methods: Patients with treatment-naive advanced EGFR-mutated lung cancer treated with first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were included. pEGFR were measured at baseline and first response assessment using ddPCR and NGS. Clearance of pEGFR was defined as undetectable levels after a positive baseline result. Results were correlated with time-to-treatment failure (TTF). In exploratory analysis, corresponding change in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels was evaluated. Results: Between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021, 27 patients were recruited. Ex19del comprised 74% (20 of 27) and L858R 26% (seven of 27). Osimertinib was used in 59% (16 of 27), dacomitinib 4% (one of 27), and gefitinib/erlotinib 37% (10 of 27). Sensitivity of ddPCR and NGS in detecting pEGFR mutation at baseline was 70% (19 of 27) and 78% (21 of 27), respectively (p = 0.16). All patients with detectable pEGFR by ddPCR were detected by NGS.At a median of 8 (range 3-24) weeks post-TKI initiation, clearance of pEGFR was achieved in 68% (13 of 19) and 71% (15 of 21) using ddPCR and NGS, respectively. Concordance between ddPCR and NGS was 79% (kappa = 0.513, p = 0.013). Clearance of pEGFR was associated with longer median TTF (not reached versus 6 months, p = 0.03) and median decrease in CEA levels by 70% from baseline.In another cohort of 124 patients, decrease in CEA levels by greater than 70% within 90 days of TKI initiation was associated with doubling of both TTF and overall survival. Conclusions: Plasma NGS trended toward higher sensitivity than ddPCR in detecting pEGFR, although both had similar concordance in detecting pEGFR clearance. Our results support using NGS at diagnosis and interchangeability of NGS and ddPCR for monitoring, whereas CEA could be explored as a surrogate for pEGFR clearance.
RESUMEN
Introduction: Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have dramatically improved outcomes for nononcogene-addicted NSCLC, monotherapy with programmed cell death protein-1 (PD1) inhibition has been associated with low efficacy in the EGFR-mutant setting. Given the potential for synergism with combination checkpoint blockade, we designed a trial to test the activity of combination nivolumab (N)-ipilimumab (NI) in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Methods: This is a randomized phase 2 study (NCT03091491) of N versus NI combination in EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant NSCLC, with crossover permitted on disease progression. The primary end point was the objective response rate, and the secondary end points included progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety of ICI after EGFR TKI. Results: Recruitment ceased owing to futility after 31 of 184 planned patients were treated. A total of 15 patients received N and 16 received NI combination. There were 16 patients (51.6%) who had programmed death-ligand (PDL1) 1 greater than or equal to 1%, and 15 (45.2%) harbored EGFR T790M. Five patients derived clinical benefits from ICI with one objective response (objective response rate 3.2%), and median progression-free survival was 1.22 months (95% confidence interval: 1.15-1.35) for the overall cohort. None of the four patients who crossed over achieved salvage response by NI. PDL1 and tumor mutational burden (TMB) were not able to predict ICI response. Rates of all grade immune-related adverse events were similar (80% versus 75%), with only two grade 3 events. Conclusions: Immune checkpoint inhibition is ineffective in EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC. Whereas a small subgroup of EGFR-mutant NSCLC may be immunogenic and responsive to ICI, better biomarkers are needed to select appropriate patients.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: HER2-altered non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents a diverse subgroup, including mutations, amplifications, and overexpression. However, HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations are emerging as a distinct molecular subtype with expanding therapeutic options. We describe the molecular epidemiology and genomic features of HER2-altered NSCLC in an Asian tertiary cancer center. METHODS: We identified patients with HER2-mutated NSCLC in our institutional database, collating clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes. The genomic landscape of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-mutated NSCLC was further evaluated using whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from combined local and publicly available data sets. HER2 amplification and overexpression as selection biomarkers in NSCLC were further interrogated using HER2 immunohistochemistry and correlations with WES and RNA sequencing data. RESULTS: Among 1,252 patients with consecutive lung adenocarcinoma undergoing routine next-generation sequencing, the prevalence of HER2 mutations was 3.1%-exon 20 insertion mutations comprised 2.7%. We examined the clinicopathological features in 55 patients with HER2-mutated NSCLC comprising 40 exon 20 insertion and 15 nonexon 20 insertion mutations. The most common exon 20 insertion mutation was HER2Y772_A775dup in 30 (75%), followed by HER2G776delinsVC in five patients (13%). There were limited responses to HER2-directed therapies apart from trastuzumab-deruxtecan, and no responses were seen with immunotherapy monotherapy. Evaluating the genomics features of HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations using WES data revealed low tumor mutational burden (TMB), low incidence of cancer driver comutations, and a predominance of aging mutational signature-similar to EGFR-mutated tumors. In contrast, uncommon (or nonexon 20 insertion) HER2-mutated tumors resembled EGFR wild-type tumors with higher TMB, higher frequency of cancer driver comutations, and greater presence of smoking and APOBEC mutational signature. Finally, in evaluating HER2 immunohistochemistry in all lung adenocarcinoma, there was significant discordance comparing different scoring systems and poor correlation with HER2 RNA expression and HER2 amplification. CONCLUSION: The incidence of HER2 mutations is 3.1% in East Asian nonsquamous NSCLC. HER2 exon 20 insertion-mutated tumors appear genomically distinct from uncommon (nonexon 20 insertion) HER2 mutations, the latter demonstrating higher TMB, co-occurring drivers, and predominant nonaging mutational signature. The therapeutic implications of the genomic and clinical features of HER2-mutated NSCLC warrant further investigation.

Importance: The recently published ADAURA study has posed a significant dilemma for clinicians in selecting patients for adjuvant osimertinib. Risk factors for recurrence in early-stage epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) also remain undefined. Objective: To determine clinicopathologic characteristics and recurrence patterns of resected early-stage EGFR-positive NSCLC, using wildtype EGFR as a comparator cohort, and identify features associated with recurrence. Design, Setting, and Participants: This is a cohort study including patients diagnosed with AJCC7 Stage IA to IIIA NSCLC between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2018, who underwent curative surgical procedures at a specialist cancer center in Singapore. The cutoff for data analysis was October 15, 2020. Patient demographic characteristics, treatment history, and survival data were collated. In exploratory analysis, whole-exome sequencing was performed in a subset of 86 patients. Data were analyzed from September 3, 2020, to June 6, 2021. Exposures: Adjuvant treatment was administered per investigator's discretion. Main Outcomes and Measures: The main outcome was 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). Results: A total of 723 patients were included (389 patients with EGFR-positive NSCLC; 334 patients with wildtype EGFR NSCLC). There were 366 women (50.6%) and 357 men (49.4%), and the median (range) age was 64 (22-88) years. A total of 299 patients (41.4%) had stage IA NSCLC, 155 patients (21.4%) had stage IB NSCLC, 141 patients (19.5%) had stage II NSCLC, and 125 patients (17.3%) had stage IIIA NSCLC. Compared with patients with wildtype EGFR NSCLC, patients with EGFR-positive NSCLC were more likely to be women (106 women [31.7%] vs 251 women [64.5%]) and never smokers (121 never smokers [36.2%] vs 317 never smokers [81.5%]). At median (range) follow up of 46 (0-123) months, 299 patients (41.4%) had cancer recurrence. There was no statistically significant difference in 2-year DFS for EGFR-positive and wildtype EGFR NSCLC (70.2% [95% CI, 65.3%-74.5%] vs 67.6% [95% CI, 62.2%-72.4%]; P = .70), although patients with EGFR-positive NSCLC had significantly better 5-year overall survival (77.7% [95% CI, 72.4%-82.1%] vs 66.6% [95% CI, 60.5%-72.0%]; P = .004). Among patients with EGFR-positive NSCLC, 2-year DFS was 81.0% (95% CI, 74.0%-86.3%) for stage IA, 78.4% (95% CI, 68.2%-85.6%) for stage IB, 57.1% (95% CI, 43.7%-68.4%) for stage II, and 46.6% (95% CI, 34.7%-57.7%) for stage IIIA. Overall, 5-year DFS among patients with stage IB through IIIA was 37.2% (95% CI, 30.1%-44.3%). Sites of disease at recurrence were similar between EGFR-positive and wildtype EGFR NSCLC, with locoregional (64 patients [16.5%] vs 56 patients [16.8%]), lung (41 patients [10.5%] vs 40 patients [12.0%]), and intracranial (37 patients [9.5%] vs 22 patients [6.6%]) metastases being the most common. A risk estimation model incorporating genomic data and an individual patient nomogram using clinicopathologic features for stage I EGFR-positive NSCLC was developed to improve risk stratification. Conclusions and Relevance: This cohort study found that recurrence rates were high in early-stage EGFR-positive NSCLC including stage IA, yet 37.2% of patients with stage IB through IIIA were cured without adjuvant osimertinib. Further studies are needed to elucidate individualized surveillance and adjuvant treatment strategies for early-stage EGFR-positive NSCLC.

Despite the rapidly evolving treatment landscape in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), developments in neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments have been nascent by comparison. Establishing overall survival benefit in the early-stage setting has been challenging because of the need for large trials and long-term survival data. Encouraged by improved treatment outcomes with a biomarker-driven approach in advanced NSCLC, and recognising the need to improve survival outcomes in early-stage NSCLC, there has been renewed interest in revisiting neoadjuvant strategies. Multiple neoadjuvant trials with targeted therapy and immunotherapy, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, have yielded unique insights into traditional response parameters, such as the discordance between RECIST response and pathological response, and expanded opportunities for biomarker discovery. With further standardisation of trial endpoints across studies, coupled with the implementation of novel technologies including radiomics and digital pathology, individual risk-stratified neoadjuvant treatment approaches are poised to make a striking impact on the outcomes of early-stage NSCLC.
