Abstract
The identification of cystic fibrosis screening-positive, inconclusive diagnosis (CFSPID) in infants is a controversial outcome of newborn screening for cystic fibrosis (CF). Today, despite improvements in the knowledge of CFSPID and the description of several cohorts, little data are available on cohorts with a follow-up period of more than 6 years. In this study, we report the outcomes of an Italian cohort of CFSPID individuals with CFSPID or formerly CFTR-related disorders (CFTR-RD) (CFSPID > CFTR-RD) or diagnosed with CF (CFSPID > CF). This was an observational and multicentre Italian study collecting clinical data on CFSPID born between the period January 1, 2011, and December 13, 2019. A total of 268 participants were included: 243 with persistent CFSPID, 7 with CFSPID > CFTR-RD, and 18 with CFSPID > CF. The trend of sweat chloride (SC) values, percentage of definitive diagnoses, lung function in school-aged children, and development of CF-related complications were evaluated. At the end of the observation period, almost 80% of the individuals with CFSPID did not have a conclusive diagnosis. A total of 29 children (10.8%) transitioned to a diagnosis of CF for pathological SC values (≥ 60 mmol/L) or multi-organ involvement, and 18 (6.7%) to CFTR-RD. Children who were followed up for > 6 years (median age, 7.5 years; range, 6.04-10.5) had normal lung function and were pancreatic sufficient, and the evolution in CF was only present in two cases. CONCLUSION Most Italian preschool and school-aged children with CFSPID did not have a conclusive diagnosis, and progression to CF was unlikely in children > 6 years of age. An annual follow-up could be indicated to identify early evolution in clinical features consistent with a CFTR-RD. WHAT IS KNOWN • Cystic Fibrosis newborn screening identifies also subjects with an inconclusive diagnosis (CFSPID). • Over time a variable percentage of CFSPIDs will be diagnosed as CF. • Little data is available on CFSPIDs with a follow-up period of more than six years. WHAT IS NEW • 80% of Italian preschool and school-age CFSPIDs not have a conclusive diagnosis. • Italian preschool and school-age CFSPIDs have normal lung function and are pancreatic sufficient. • Annual follow-up after 6 years is recommended in CFSPID with abnormal LCI2.5 or with a CF-causing variant in trans with a VVCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a majority of cases detected at a non-resectable advanced stage. Current anti PD-1/-L1 therapy has reformed cancer treatment strategies with remarkable clinical outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the overall response rate is still marginal, demonstrating the need for biomarkers predictive of response. The objective of this study is to develop a serum based panel to prognosticate clinical response in advanced NSCLC patients receiving anti PD-1/-L1 therapy.
Methods
Pooled sera from two response groups (Poor response, n=20, overall survival < 12 months; Good response, n=20, overall survival > 12 months) were evaluated via the HuProt™ Human Proteome Microarray (CDI laboratories, Baltimore, MD) to identify expressed neoantigens. Recombinant proteins representative to identified neoantigens along with their corresponding antibodies, were commercially acquired to develop a robust 13-plex bead- based immunoassay to evaluate the autoantibodies in pretreatment sera from 125 advanced-stage NSCLC patients. Finally, levels of autoantibodies were correlated to clinical outcome, including progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and grade III adverse events.
Results
Low baseline levels of ZNF695, MCM4, PRMT2, FGD3, GTF2A1, GLUL, CDCA3, ZNF277, GARS, GBP2, UBL7, and ASNA1 autoantibodies were found to be associated with a longer PFS (all p-values < 0.01), whereas increased levels were associated with a poor PFS outcome (0.06, HR=0.66, 95% CI). Low levels of ZNF695, MCM4, PRMT2, FGD3, GARS, GBP2, and UBL7 autoantibodies were associated with favorable OS (all p-values < 0.01).
Conclusion
In this study we demonstrated that serum autoantibodies have great promise to serve as a prognostic tool for immunotherapy response. We successfully developed a high performance multiplexed serum based assay to evaluate autoantibodies in an advanced NSCLC patients receiving anti PD-1/-L1 therapy.

Abstract
Background There is emerging evidence showing a significant relationship between overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC patients and weight change during chemotherapy or chemoradiation. A high neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) at baseline and at follow-up is associated with shorter survival in cancer patients and may be a surrogate for ongoing inflammation, implicated in cancer cachexia and tumor progression. The objective of this study is to explore potential relationships between OS, serial weights, and serial NLRs in advanced NSCLC patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods One hundred thirty-nine patients with chemotherapy-naïve NSCLC, predominantly with stage III/IV disease, were treated with first-line platinum doublets from June, 2011 to August, 2012. NLR, tumor response, and body weight were recorded at baseline, 6, and 12 weeks from initiation of therapy and correlated with OS. The association between NLR and OS was assessed using Cox PH (proportional hazards) analysis, the association between NLR and weight change was assessed using a simple regression analysis, and the association between NLR and tumor response was assessed using the Fisher’s exact test. Results One hundred thirty-nine patients with median age 68, PS 0-1/2 = 83/17%, male/female = 58%/42%. Median NLR at baseline was 3.6 (range 0.1898 to 30.910), at 6 weeks 3.11 (range 0.2703 to 42.11), and at 12 weeks 3.52 (range 0.2147 to 42.93). A Higher NLR at baseline, 6, and 12 weeks was associated with decreased OS (baseline: HR 1.06, p < 0.001; 6 weeks: HR 1.07, p = 0.001; 12 weeks: HR 1.05, p < 0.001), and longitudinal NLR, as a time-dependent covariate, was also associated with decreased OS (HR = 1.06, p < 0.001). Baseline weight and NLR were inversely related (cor = −0.267, p = 0.001), and weight change and NLR were inversely related at 12 weeks (cor = −0.371, p < 0.001). Longitudinal measurements of weight and NLR were also negatively associated (slope = −0.06, p < 0.001). Using a cutoff of NLR > 5, there was a significant association between progressive disease and NLR > 5 at 6 weeks (p = 0.02) and 12 weeks (p = 0.03). Conclusions High baseline and progressive increases in NLRs are associated with progressive disease, inferior OS and weight loss in NSCLC patients. In addition to having prognostic significance, these observations suggest that studying molecular mediators of cachexia/inflammation and their relationships to tumor progression may identify new therapeutic targets in the large subset of NSCLC patients who have cancer cachexia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we appraised a wide assortment of biomarkers previously shown to have diagnostic or prognostic value for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the intent of establishing a multi-analyte serum test capable of identifying patients with lung cancer. METHODS Circulating levels of 47 biomarkers were evaluated against patient cohorts consisting of 90 NSCLC and 43 non-cancer controls using commercial immunoassays. Multivariate statistical methods were used on all biomarkers achieving statistical relevance to define an optimised panel of diagnostic biomarkers for NSCLC. The resulting biomarkers were fashioned into a classification algorithm and validated against serum from a second patient cohort. RESULTS A total of 14 analytes achieved statistical relevance upon evaluation. Multivariate statistical methods then identified a panel of six biomarkers (tumour necrosis factor-α, CYFRA 21-1, interleukin-1ra, matrix metalloproteinase-2, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and sE-selectin) as being the most efficacious for diagnosing early stage NSCLC. When tested against a second patient cohort, the panel successfully classified 75 of 88 patients. CONCLUSIONS Here, we report the development of a serum algorithm with high specificity for classifying patients with NSCLC against cohorts of various 'high-risk' individuals. A high rate of false positives was observed within the cohort in which patients had non-neoplastic lung nodules, possibly as a consequence of the inflammatory nature of these conditions.

Abstract
e22157 Background: Minimal advances have been made in the treatment of SCLC. Molecular markers may allow us to better stratify patients (pts) for new treatment options and drug combinations. The objective of our study was to determine the frequency and potential prognostic significance of N-cadherin (N-cad), E-cadherin (E-cad), ERCC1, and c-kit (CD117) expression in SCLC. Methods: Tissue from 132 pts with SCLC was retrospectively stained for N-cad, E-cad, ERCC1, and c-kit. Frequency of expression (% of tumor cells staining positive) was measured on a scale of 0–4 (freq 0=no expression (<1%), freq 1=1–10%, freq 2=11–35%, freq 3=36–70%, freq 4=71–100%). Charts were reviewed for stage, performance status, date of diagnosis/death, survival, and treatment (type, dates, response). The frequency of molecular markers was correlated with clinical data and overall survival. Results: Age range 42 to 97 years, 65 male:67 female, and 64 had limited and 68 had extensive stage. Of the 132 pts, 75% had tumors that expressed (frequency ≥ 1) N-cad, 58% E-cad, 70% ERCC1, and 55% c-kit. Comparing tumor marker expression with survival using either the Log-Rank Test or the Wilcoxon Test, there was no significant association for N-cad, E-cad, or ERCC1. However, tumors that expressed c-kit with frequency ≥ 3 had a trend toward superior survival compared with frequency < 3. Median survival for c-kit frequency ≥ 3 was 496 days compared to 312 days for frequency < 3 (p = 0.09, Log-Rank Test). Conclusions: In our retrospective study of 132 SCLC pts, we found that all 4 markers were expressed in greater than 50% of specimens, and that higher c-kit expression was associated with marginally significant increase in overall survival. Though previous experience with imatinib alone or with chemotherapy showed limited clinical activity in unselected SCLC pts, given preclinical synergy with cisplatin, it seems reasonable to consider combination therapy with cisplatin/etoposide and imatinib in pts selected for high c-kit expression.

Abstract
11077 Background: Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an enzyme involved in the degradation of purines into uric acid and reactive oxygen species and activation of the MAP kinase pathway involved in apoptosis. Decreased XOR expression was shown in recent studies to be associated with more aggressive disease in breast (Linder et al. Clin Cancer Res. 2005;11:4372–4381) and gastric cancers (Linder et al. J Clin Pathol. 2006;59:965–971). The goal of our study was to show that decreased XOR expression was associated with decreased survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Tissue specimens from 82 patients (pts) were stained using a XOR specific antibody (36 male and 46 female, age range from 40 to 92 years). These included 41 adenocarcinoma, 31 squamous cell, 8 poorly/moderately differentiated, and 2 bronchioloalveolar. XOR staining intensity was measured on a scale of 0 through 4 (0 being no staining). XOR intensity was correlated with clinical characteristics and outcomes using log rank and COX PH regression analysis. Results: Of the 82 pts, 34 received adjuvant chemo, and of these, 15 specimens had low XOR intensity (0–1). These 15 pts received adjuvant chemo and had a median survival of 543 days. In comparison, 19 of the 34 pts receiving adjuvant chemo had specimens with high XOR intensity (2–4). Their median survival was significantly longer at 2,023 days (p=0.007, hazard ratio=0.33). Conclusions: Although we had a small sample size, in our retrospective study, we found that pts who received adjuvant chemo had a longer survival if their tumors expressed high levels of XOR. XOR could be a potential predictor for responsiveness to adjuvant chemo in patients with NSCLC. Pts with decreased XOR may be less responsive to chemo and thus be able to avoid a toxic treatment if it is not significantly beneficial.

Abstract
8108 Background: BI 2536 is a potent, selective inhibitor of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), a regulator of mitotic progression. BI 2536 demonstrated favorable tolerability and antitumor activity in phase I trials. We investigated the antitumor efficacy, safety and PK of BI 2536 in patients (pts) with sensitive relapse SCLC. Methods: This open label single arm phase II study followed a Gehan two-stage design. Primary objective was to determine the antitumor efficacy of BI 2536 in SCLC pts with disease recurrence ≥60 days after completion of first-line chemotherapy. 18 pts had to complete 2 courses to be evaluable for stage 1 analysis. In case of ≥2 partial or complete antitumor responses (RECIST criteria), stage 2 accrual would continue until 40 pts were entered. Patients received 200 mg BI 2536 as a 1h i.v. infusion on Day 1 every 3 weeks. Dose escalation to 250 mg (cycle 3 onwards) was encouraged in pts with <Grade 2 drug related non-hematologic and <Grade 3 hematologic toxicity. Results: 23 pts (14 female, 9 male, 21 extensive disease, 2 limited disease), median age 60 yrs (range: 35–77) were treated. All patients had disease recurrence >60 days after completion of first-line therapy. Of 23 pts, no objective antitumor responses were observed, 7 had stable disease as best response, 14 had progression, 2 were not evaluable. A median of 2 courses were given, up to a maximum of 12 in 1 pt. The PFS rate at 3 months was 25%. Due to the lack of antitumor responses, trial accrual was terminated after stage 1. Overall, BI 2536 was well tolerated. Frequent AEs were neutropenia (48%), fatigue (39%), nausea (30%), anemia, vomiting, constipation (26% each), and thrombocytopenia (22%). Drug related grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (13%/26%), grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (1 pt each), grade 3/4 anemia (1 pt each), grade 4 sepsis (1 pt), Grade 4 ARDS (1 pt) and Grade 3 fatigue (1 pt). PK analyses indicate that BI 2536 has high clearance (>1,000 mL/min) and quickly distributes in multiple compartments in a large volume of distribution (>1,000 L). Estimated elimination half-life was >25 h. Conclusions: BI 2536 was well tolerated in relapsed SCLC pts, but demonstrated no convincing antitumor efficacy after stage I of the study. Therefore, BI 2536 will not be assessed further as a single agent in SCLC. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7595 Background: Recently tumor molecular markers have shown promise as prognostic and predictive indicators for survival in early and advanced stage NSCLC patients (pts.) treated with chemotherapy. The objective of this study was to correlate immunohistochemistry (IHC) markers of pre-treatment biopsies in locally advanced NSCLC patients treated with concurrent platinum based chemoradiation followed by surgical resection. Methods: This is a retrospective study that included stage III NSCLC pts who had adequate pre-treatment tumor specimens and were treated with platinum based chemotherapy regimens and concurrent thoracic radiation (40 Gy). Thirty three pts had sufficient pre-treatment tissue for IHC and were identified from a surgical database. Cells were stained by IHC for frequency (0–4) and intensity (0–4) of ERCC1, PTEN, and survivin and analyzed by log-rank and multivariate Cox PH regression for potential relationships to pathologic complete response (pCR), time to recurrence (TTR), and overall survival (OS). Results: Characteristics of 33 pts: 15 females; median age 61; 17 adenocarcinoma, 10 squamous(sq), 5 undifferentiated, 1 adeno-sq. Median OS was 23 months (mo) (5.9–140), and median TTR was 14.7 mo (3.5–121). Following chemoradiation, 9 patients had pCR. pCR was associated with improved TTR, p < .027. ERCC1 and PTEN were not significantly related to OS, TTR, or pCR. High nuclear survivin frequency (>2) was associated with worse OS, HR 0.4, p< .045 and lower nuclear survivin intensity (<4) was marginally associated with pCR, p< .10. Conclusions: In this exploratory analysis, higher survivin expression was associated with worse prognosis in locally advanced NSCLC patients treated with chemoradiation followed by surgery. These results suggest that additional studies of survivin are warranted in NSCLC and that adding survivin inhibitors to chemoradiation is a reasonable strategy for locally advanced NSCLC with high survivin expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Teachers are one of the so-called helping professions which are strongly exposed to the "Burnout syndrome". Nonetheless, public opinion is still convinced teachers enjoy a privileged status and physicians most often ignore psychiatric disorders following burnout due to teaching-related stress. Indeed, although France recently issued a suicide warning among teachers, and psychiatric diagnosis among this profession almost doubled in Japan in ten years, only few studies have been published on the subject in peer-reviewed journals. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS The present study was carried out by administering a questionnaire to 1295 teachers from ten different Italian regions aimed at evaluating teachers' conditions as well as their perception of work-related health risks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The outcome showed that teachers are mostly unaware of work-related health risks, they are discouraged by their employers, perceive union support as highly insufficient and feel under attack by the mass media as well as by the public. Further, any attempt by the head teacher to protect teacher's health--mandatory according to recent Italian legislation--is frequently misinterpreted as mobbing, due to the lack of appropriate legal knowledge. Interestingly, the study population believed that investigating the link between menopause and depressive disorders among teachers was extremely useful. In fact, over 82% of teachers are women with a median age of approximately 50. Social stress among women has in fact increased greatly given the triple role played by fifty-year-old teachers (mother of adolescents, care-giver for elderly parents and teacher). Lastly, general practitioners and psychiatrists need to be educated on psychiatric disorders due to teaching-related stress in order to achieve a correct diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
18036 Background: CB is an estrogen-influenced lysosomal cysteine protease produced by tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages; tumor tissue CB protein levels and proteolytic activity are prognostic in NSCLC (Anticancer Res. 2004; 24:4147–61). The prognostic value of serum CB has not previously been evaluated in NSCLC. Here we evaluate the impact of pretreatment CB levels on survival in pts from 2 phase III trials in advanced NSCLC, STELLAR 3 and 4. These trials compared paclitaxel poliglumex (PPX) against commonly used regimens. As the intratumoral metabolic pathway of PPX is characterized by the CB-mediated release of paclitaxel (P) from a polymeric backbone (Ca Chemother Pharm. 2006. Epub ahead of print), correlation of CB levels with PPX efficacy was assessed as well. Methods: Pretreatment serum samples from 450 chemo-naive pts with advanced NSCLC and PS 2 enrolled in STELLAR 3 (P + carboplatin (C) v. PPX + C) (N=315) and STELLAR 4 (vinorelbine or gemcitabine v. PPX) (N=135) were assayed for CB by ELISA (ICON Labs). Values were assessed by quartiles and there was a clear breakpoint at the median. Pts were categorized as high or low CB based on values above or below the median (64 ng/ml). The effect of CB levels on survival was evaluated by log rank for pooled pts from the studies. Results: As detailed in the table , median survival for non-PPX-treated pts was worse if CB was high; in contrast, median survival for PPX-treated pts did not differ by CB level. Pts with high CB receiving PPX showed a trend towards better survival compared to those receiving control regimens. Conclusions: The data suggest that serum CB may be prognostic biomarker for NSCLC. Retrospective analysis suggests a trend towards improved survival in patients with high CB receiving PPX; prospective studies are required to confirm this observation.

Abstract
7683 Background: In women with advanced NSCLC, premenopausal estradiol levels are associated with a worse survival than postmenopausal levels, suggesting an adverse effect of estradiol on prognosis in NSCLC (JCO 2006, 24(18S):7038; JCO 2006, 24:59–63). Levels of E2, produced from testosterone by aromatase, are often higher in men than in postmenopausal women (Ann Intern Med. 2000, 133:951–63). To investigate the effect of E2 on prognosis in male patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC, total and free E2 levels were assayed in pretreatment samples from men participating in 2 randomized phase III studies, STELLAR 3 and 4. Methods: Free serum E2 levels were measured prior to chemotherapy using a radioimmuno-assay in samples from 289/307 male pts with advanced NSCLC and PS2 enrolled in STELLAR 3 (paclitaxel + carboplatin (C) v. paclitaxel poliglumex (PPX) + C) and STELLAR 4 (vinorelbine or gemcitabine v. PPX). The effect of free E2 levels on survival was evaluated by log rank test. Male pts were categorized as high or low E2 based on values above or below the median (0.42 pg/ml; range: 0.1–2.95).The assay range for normal men is 0.2 - 0.5 pg/ml; in pre- and postmenopausal women, the range is 0.80- 3.45 and 0.12 - 0.39 pg/ml, respectively. Results: Hazard ratio's (HR), median, and 1-yr survival are summarized in the table . Survival was worse for male pts with E2 values higher than the median compared to those below the median (HR 1.56, p = .0008). This difference in survival was not dependent on treatment arm as survival was similar for male pts > 0.42 pg/ml receiving either PPX or control. Conclusions: High serum free E2 levels are associated with shorter survival in men with advanced NSCLC, consistent with the shorter survival noted in NSCLC in premenopausal compared to older women. While PPX is associated with improved survival in women with premenopausal E2 levels (JCO 2006, 24(18S):7039), the relatively low levels of E2 in men may be insufficient to affect survival in male pts receiving PPX.

Abstract
7592 Background: Prognostic factors associated with better outcomes (EGFR mutations (mut), high EGFR gene copy number, never smoking) can be used to select pts for EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combination trials, but would exclude the majority of NSCLC pts. Excluding pts with the worst likely outcomes is another strategy that may result in more pts who could benefit from the combination of a TKI with other agents. Our objective was to identify clinical and molecular characteristics associated with RPD (=70 days) and shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in previously treated NSCLC pts receiving G. Methods: Consecutive Expanded Access Trial pts with >1 week G were included for analysis. Tissue from 87 pts was evaluated for EGFR, pAKT and PTEN protein expression by immunohistochemistry; 58 tumors were analyzed for mut and sum of CA dinucliotide repeats (ΣCA rpts) by SSCP, PCR and sequencing. Results: There were 150 pts; 77 female, median (md) age 67. Md follow-up was 5.8 months (mo). Objective response was 8% (2CR, 10PR, 56 SD, 82 RPD). Md Kaplan-Meier PFS and survival were 2.0 and 5.8 mo, respectively. See table for univariate results. Smoking, Mut-PTEN-, EGFR-PTEN- and EGFR-pAKT- tumors were associated with shorter PFS. Separate clinical and molecular multivariate models were developed. In logistic regressions, non-adenocarcinoma histology (N- A), p=0.004, =12 mo from diagnosis to G (dx-G =12 mo), p=0.0009, lack of mut (p=0.0298) and ΣCA rpts <34 (p=0.0622) were associated with RPD. In Cox regressions, N-A (p=0.0256), dx-G =12 mo (p=0.0166) and lack of mut (p=0.0298) were associated with shorter PFS. Conclusions: N-A, dx-G =12 mo and lack of mut were associated with RPD and shorter PFS in univariate and multivariate analyses. ΣCA rpts <34 and double-negative molecular combinations were also related to worse outcome. These clinical and molecular characteristics may warrant further study as exclusion criteria for TKI combination clinical trials. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract
7601 Background: Pemetrexed in combination with carboplatin has been shown to have promising activity and favorable toxicity profile in NSCLC. Bevacizumab has been shown to improve response rates and survival in pts with advanced non-squamous NSCLC when combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel. This study of pemetrexed and carboplatin plus bevacizumab was designed to evaluate the toxicity profile and to estimate the activity of the regimen in this pt population. Methods: Eligibility required that pts were chemotherapy-naive, had stage IIIB (effusion)/IV non-squamous NSCLC, PS 0–1, with no evidence of CNS metastases. Pts received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 over 10 minutes, carboplatin AUC 6 over 30 minutes, and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg over 30–90 minutes on a 21-day cycle for 6 cycles. Pts with SD or PR received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg every 21 days until disease progression or toxicity. All pts received folic acid, vitamin B12 and steroid prophylaxis. Results: From 8/05 to 9/06, 39 pts (of planned 50) were enrolled: 20 M/19 F; median age 64 (range 41 - 80). One pt enrolled and subsequently refused treatment. Median number of cycles was 6 (range 1–22), and 25/38 (66%) completed at least 6 cycles of therapy. There was no grade 4 hematological toxicity. Grade 3 hematological toxicities were anemia (5%, N=2) and thrombocytopenia (3%, N=1). The most common grade 3/4 non-hematological toxicities included proteinuria (3%, N=1, gr 3), venous thrombosis (3%, N=1, gr 3), infection (3%, N=1, gr 4), and diverticulitis (11%: 8%, N=3, gr 3/3%, N=1, gr 4). 1 pt with diverticulitis experienced bowel perforation that required surgical intervention. The trial was temporally suspended and the group of pts with diverticulitis was analyzed separately. The only risk factor identified was previous history of diverticulitis. One CR, 20 PRs were observed for an overall response rate of 55% (95%, CI 43–75%). Conclusions: Treatment with pemetrexed and carboplatin plus bevacizumab in pts with advanced non-squamous NSCLC is feasible with an acceptable toxicity profile. The encouraging activity justifies further development of this regimen. However, pts with a prior history of diverticulitis should be excluded until this observation can be investigated further. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
7637 Background: Impaired performance status in NSCLC is associated with poor prognosis and reduced tolerance for treatment- related toxicities. Current treatment guidelines agree that PS 2 patients with advanced NSCLC benefit from systemic chemotherapy; however, no consensus exists on specific treatment recommendations; i.e., single-agent vs. combination chemotherapy. Methods: Two recent phase III randomized trials in advanced NSCLC (STELLAR 3 and 4) enrolled exclusively PS 2 patients and compared experimental treatment to either standard combination chemotherapy (paclitaxel/carboplatin; P/C), or single agent chemotherapy (vinorelbine or gemcitabine; V or G). An exploratory comparison of the control arms was performed to determine the degree of benefit and amount of added toxicity associated with standard combination vs. single agent chemotherapy. Results: Combination chemotherapy resulted in improved time to progression compared to single agent ( Table ). However, no statistical difference between treatment arms was noted for overall survival and 1-yr survival. Adverse events are listed in the table . Overall, the frequency of serious adverse events was 40% in the combination-arm and 35% in the single agent-arm. When only considering drug-related toxicities, the frequency of serious adverse events was 21% in the combination-arm and 5% in the single agent-arm. Conclusions: PS 2 patients receiving single agent chemotherapy have a similar outcome compared to those receiving combination chemotherapy; serious treatment related toxicities are less frequent with single agent therapy. Based on the currently available evidence, the use of single-agent therapy seems reasonable in PS 2 patients. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
