Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we explored the clinical outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR Exon20 in-frame insertions (Exon20ins), and the impact of the location of Exon20ins on these clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The efficacies of current systemic therapies in NSCLC patients harboring Exon20ins were investigated using a large-scale clinico-genomic database of LC-SCRUM-Asia, and compared with that of amivantamab in the CHRYSALIS trial. RESULTS Of the 11,397 patients enrolled in LC-SCRUM-Asia, Exon20ins were detected in 189 patients (1.7 %). Treatment with classical EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (classical TKIs) was associated with a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in NSCLC patients with Exon20ins as compared with Exon19 deletions and L858R. Post platinum-based chemotherapy, classical TKIs and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) were associated with a shorter PFS than with docetaxel in patients with Exon20ins (HR [95 % CI]; TKIs vs docetaxel, 2.16 [1.35-3.46]; ICIs vs docetaxel, 1.49 [1.21-1.84]). Patients treated with amivantamab in the CHRYSALIS trial showed a risk reduction in PFS and overall survival as compared with LC-SCRUM-Asia patients treated with docetaxel, classical TKIs, or ICIs. Among the 189 patients, Exon20ins were classified as near-loop or far-loop insertions in 115 (61 %) and 56 (30 %) patients, respectively. Treatment with osimertinib was associated with a longer PFS in patients with Exon20ins in near-loop as compared with far-loop (median, 5.6 vs. 2.0 months; HR [95 % CI], 0.22 [0.07-0.64]). CONCLUSIONS After platinum-based chemotherapy, classical TKIs and ICIs are less effective in NSCLC patients with Exon20ins, and amivantamab may be a promising targeted therapy. There is a possibility that the location of Exon20ins has an impact on the efficacy of TKIs.

Abstract
We conducted a phase 3 clinical trial to compare the efficacy of platinum-based combination chemotherapy together with nivolumab plus ipilimumab relative to that of platinum-based combination chemotherapy together with pembrolizumab in previously untreated patients with advanced NSCLC. The trial was terminated prematurely after treatment of 295 patients because of a high proportion of treatment-related deaths, three of which were due to cytokine release syndrome (CRS), in the nivolumab plus ipilimumab treatment arm. In addition, we encountered two cases of CRS that were effectively managed, for a total of five cases (3.4%) among the 148 patients in the nivolumab plus ipilimumab arm. We here provide details of these five cases. Although patient background and timing of CRS onset differed, fever was observed before the emergence of CRS in all five cases. Oncologists should thus be aware that the development of fever during treatment of patients with nivolumab plus ipilimumab may herald the onset of CRS.

Abstract
Introduction Docetaxel plus ramucirumab could be a promising treatment for chemo-naive elderly patients with NSCLC, but high incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) is a critical concern. We thus adopted a routine primary prophylactic pegylated-granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (PEG-G-CSF) to reduce FN and maximize the efficacy of docetaxel plus ramucirumab in elderly patients. Methods This is a single arm phase 2 trial for chemo-naive elderly patients (aged ≥75 y) with advanced NSCLC. Docetaxel (60 mg/m2, d 1) plus ramucirumab (10 mg/kg, d 1) with PEG-G-CSF (3.6 mg, d 2) was administered every 3 weeks until progression. The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR) (expected ORR: 35%). Results Between February 2018 and January 2021, 54 patients were enrolled. Median age was 78 (range: 75-86). A total of 21 (38.9%) partial response, 22 (40.7%) stable disease, nine (16.7%) progressive disease, and two (3.7%) not assessable were confirmed, resulting in ORR of 38.9% (90% confidence interval [CI]: 27.7%-51.0%) and disease control rate of 79.6%. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 5.2 (95% CI: 4.2-6.9) and 12.7 (95% CI: 10.2-18.9) months, respectively. There were one (1.9%) FN, two (3.7%) bleeding grade greater than or equal to 3, and one (1.9%) treatment-related death (pneumonitis). Pneumonitis occurred in five patients (9.3%). Main adverse events grade greater than or equal to 3 were observed: four (7%) thrombocytopenia; three (5.6%) neutropenia; six (11.1%) hyposodium; five (9.3%) infection; five (9.3%) hypertension; four (7.4%) anorexia; and three (5.6%) oral mucositis. Conclusions Docetaxel plus ramucirumab with PEG-G-CSF revealed efficacy and safety for chemo-naive elderly patients with NSCLC. Primary prophylactic PEG-G-CSF highly prevented FN.

Abstract
The phase 2, single-arm, multicenter, open-label J-ALTA study evaluated the efficacy and safety of brigatinib in Japanese patients with advanced ALK+ non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One expansion cohort of J-ALTA enrolled patients previously treated with ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); the main cohort included patients with prior alectinib ± crizotinib. The second expansion cohort enrolled patients with TKI-naive ALK+ NSCLC. All patients received brigatinib 180 mg once daily (7-day lead-in at 90 mg daily). Among 47 patients in the main cohort, 5 (11%) remained on brigatinib at the study end (median follow-up: 23 months). In this cohort, the independent review committee (IRC)-assessed objective response rate (ORR) was 34% (95% CI, 21%-49%); median duration of response was 14.8 months (95% CI, 5.5-19.4); median IRC-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.3 months (95% CI, 3.7-12.9). Among 32 patients in the TKI-naive cohort, 25 (78%) remained on brigatinib (median follow-up: 22 months); 2-year IRC-assessed PFS was 73% (90% CI, 55%-85%); IRC-assessed ORR was 97% (95% CI, 84%-100%); the median duration of response was not reached (95% CI, 19.4-not reached); 2-year duration of response was 70%. Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 68% and 91% of TKI-pretreated and TKI-naive patients, respectively. Exploratory analyses of baseline circulating tumor DNA in ALK TKI-pretreated NSCLC showed associations between poor PFS and EML4-ALK fusion variant 3 and TP53. Brigatinib is an important treatment option for Japanese patients with ALK+ NSCLC, including patients previously treated with alectinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of the anti-EGFR antibody necitumumab combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin (N + GC) in the first-line treatment of advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) have been proven. However, the efficacy and safety of N + GC in the second line or later treatment remain unclear. METHODS Eleven patients who received N + GC for advanced-stage or recurrent LSCC were enrolled. We retrospectively assessed the patients' clinical characteristics and efficacy and safety of treatment. RESULTS The median patient age was 73 years (range, 63-77 years). The cohort included nine (81.8%) men and two (18.2%) women. Two (18.2%) patients had postoperative recurrence, and one (9.1%), three (27.3%), one (9.1%), and four (36.4%) patients were diagnosed with stage IIIA, IIIB, IVA, and IVB disease, respectively. Concerning the best overall response, partial response was achieved in five (45.5%) patients, four (36.4%) patients displayed stable disease, and two (18.2%) patients were not evaluable. Median progression-free survival was 6.8 months (range, 1.4-10.3 months). The grade 3 or higher neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia occurred in six (54.5%), three (27.3%), and two (18.2%) patients, respectively. Additionally, grade 3 skin reaction, rash, lung infection, duodenal ulcer, and febrile neutropenia were observed in one (9.1%) patient each. Two (18.2%) patients required treatment interruption because of adverse events. CONCLUSION N + GC displayed good efficacy in the second line or later treatment among patients with LSCC. This study suggested that N + GC is a useful option even after second-line treatment of advanced-stage or recurrent LSCC, although the management of adverse events is essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), but responses are not durable as tumors develop resistance. DS-1205c is a novel, specific, orally bioavailable, small-molecule AXL receptor TKI. In preclinical studies, DS-1205c restored TKI antitumor activity in a TKI acquired-resistance EGFR-mutant NSCLC tumor xenograft model. METHODS This first-in-human, multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study (registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03599518) primarily evaluated the safety and tolerability of combination therapy with DS-1205c and gefitinib in Japanese patients with metastatic or unresectable EGFR-mutant NSCLC and tumor progression during treatment with EGFR-TKIs. Patients (n = 20) received DS-1205c monotherapy (200-1200 mg twice daily [BID]) in a 7-day safety monitoring period before combination DS-1205c/gefitinib (250 mg once daily) in 21-day cycles. RESULTS The observed common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were increased aspartate aminotransferase (35%), increased alanine aminotransferase (30%), rash maculo-papular (30%), and diarrhea (25%). No serious TEAEs were reported. Plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters of DS-1205a (free form of DS-1205c) were unaffected by concomitant administration of gefitinib. No patient achieved a complete or partial response and 5 patients (25%) had stable disease. CONCLUSION DS-1205c was generally safe and well tolerated at all dose levels, but the safety profile of ≤800 mg BID was more favorable than 1200 mg BID. The recommended dose for dose-expansion cohorts of DS-1205c in combination therapy with gefitinib was 800 mg BID.

Abstract
Osimertinib is a standard therapy for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) mutations, but most patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC develop secondary resistance to osimertinib. Mesenchymal-epithelial transition gene (MET) alterations and oncogene fusions have been identified as the most common mechanisms of resistance to osimertinib. However, MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14del) as an acquired resistance to osimertinib has rarely been reported. A non-smoking 76-year-old woman was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma in the right lower lobe (cT2bN2M1c [pulmonary and bone metastases], cStage IVB). The primary tumor was submitted to cobas® EGFR Mutation Test v2 (Roche Diagnostics Ltd.), next generation sequencing (Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3; Thermo Fisher Scientific), the AmoyDx® Essential NGS panel (Amoy Diagnostics, Xiamen, China), all of which were positive for EGFR L858R and de novo T790M. We administered daily osimertinib (80 mg/day), and achieved a partial response. However, after 14.0 months, computed tomography showed progression of the primary tumor and lung metastases. Re-biopsy of the primary tumor was conducted, and the specimen was submitted to Archer®MET companion diagnostic for detection of METex14del. Although the primary tumor was negative for METex14del, the re-biopsy specimen was positive for METex14del. We validated that the biopsy specimen of the primary tumor at diagnosis before osimertinib administration was negative for METex14del using local reverse transcription PCR. We administered daily tepotinib (500 mg/day) to the patient as a further-line treatment, and achieved a partial response (tumor shrinkage rate: 34.5%) after 2.0 months, who responded to tepotinib therapy for 8.0 months. We described a patient with lung adenocarcinoma harboring METex14del as a potential acquired resistance to osimertinib, who responded to subsequent tepotinib therapy. Re-biopsy and re-analysis of genetic profiles should be considered in NSCLC patients who develop osimertinib resistance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To evaluate the efficacy and safety of osimertinib plus bevacizumab for previously untreated patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC harboring EGFR-sensitizing mutations. METHODS We conducted a randomized, open-label, phase 2 study at 21 institutions in Japan. Previously untreated patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC harboring EGFR-sensitizing mutations received either osimertinib (80 mg, daily) plus bevacizumab (15 mg/kg, every 3 wk) or osimertinib monotherapy, and were stratified according to sex, stage, and EGFR mutation status. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) in the intention-to-treat population, assessed by means of blinded, independent central radiologic review. RESULTS Between January 2018 and September 2018, a total of 122 patients were enrolled (osimertinib + bevacizumab arm, 61 patients; osimertinib monotherapy arm, 61 patients). At a median follow-up duration of 19.8 months, the median PFS was 22.1 months for osimertinib plus bevacizumab and 20.2 months for osimertinib monotherapy, with a hazard ratio of 0.862 (60% confidence interval: 0.700-1.060, 95% confidence interval: 0.531-1.397, one-sided stratified log-rank p = 0.213). Adverse events of grade 3 or worse were observed in 34 patients (56%) in the osimertinib plus bevacizumab arm and 29 (48%) in the osimertinib monotherapy arm. In addition, two (3%) and 11 patients (18%) experienced any grade pneumonitis, respectively, and grade 3 pneumonitis was observed in one patient (2%) in each arm. CONCLUSIONS This study failed to exhibit the efficacy of osimertinib plus bevacizumab for improving the PFS among patients with nonsquamous NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations as first-line treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nazartinib, a novel third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, previously demonstrated antitumor activity and manageable safety in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received ≤ 3 prior lines of systemic therapy. Herein, we report phase 2 efficacy and safety of first-line nazartinib. METHODS This single-arm, open-label, global study enrolled treatment-naive adult patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC harboring EGFR-activating mutations (eg, L858R and/or ex19del). Patients with neurologically stable and controlled brain metastases were also eligible. Patients received oral nazartinib 150 mg once daily. The primary endpoint was Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC)-assessed overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1. RESULTS Forty-five patients received ≥ 1 dose of nazartinib. The median follow-up time from enrollment to data cutoff (November 1, 2019) was 30 months (range: 25-34). The BIRC-assessed ORR was 69% (95% CI, 53-82). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 18 months (95% CI, 15-not estimable [NE]). The median overall survival was NE. In patients with baseline brain metastases (n = 18), the ORR and median PFS (95% CIs) were 67% (41-87) and 17 months (11-21). Seventeen of 18 patients had brain metastases as non-target lesions; the CNS lesions were absent/normalized in 9 of 17 (53%). Only 2 of 27 patients without baseline brain metastases developed new brain metastases postbaseline. Most frequent adverse events (≥ 25%, any grade, all-causality) were diarrhea (47%), maculopapular rash (38%), pyrexia (29%), cough, and stomatitis (27% each). CONCLUSIONS First-line nazartinib demonstrated promising efficacy, including clinically meaningful antitumor activity in the brain, and manageable safety in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immunotherapy is the fourth leading therapy for lung cancer following surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Recently, several studies have reported about the potential association between the gut microbiome and therapeutic response to immunotherapy. Nevertheless, the specific composition of the gut microbiome or combination of gut microbes that truly predict the efficacy of immunotherapy is not definitive. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The present multicentre, prospective, observational study aims to discover the specific composition of the gut microbiome or combination of gut microbes predicting the therapeutic response to immunotherapy in lung cancer using artificial intelligence. The main inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) pathologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or postoperative recurrent lung cancer including non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer; (2) age≥20 years at the time of informed consent; (3) planned treatment with immunotherapy including combination therapy and monotherapy, as the first-line immunotherapy; and (4) ability to provide faecal samples. In total, 400 patients will be enrolled prospectively. Enrolment will begin in 2021, and the final analyses will be completed by 2024. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board of each participating centre in 2021 (Kyushu Cancer Center, IRB approved No. 2021-13, 8 June 2021 and Kyushu Medical Center, IRB approved No. 21-076, 31 August 2021). Study results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000046428.

Abstract
PURPOSE Selpercatinib is a highly selective, potent, rearranged during transfection(RET)inhibitor. A global, multicenter, open-label, phase 1/2 study of selpercatinib(LIBRETTO-001, NCT03157128)has been ongoing since 2017. We evaluated the data of Japanese patients with RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)using 30 March 2020 cut-off data. METHODS Phase 2 of LIBRETTO-001 started after confirming the safety of the recommended phase 2 dose(160 mg bid, orally, 28-day cycles)in Japanese. The primary endpoint was the independently assessed objective response rate(RECIST v1.1). RESULTS Japanese NSCLC patients, including 44 patients in cohort 1 who had previously received platinum-based(or other)chemotherapy, programmed cell death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 immunotherapy, or both, and four previously untreated patients in cohort 2, were analyzed. The objective response rate was 55.3%(95% confidence interval: 38.3, 71.4; one confirmed complete response, 20 confirmed partial responses)in 38 evaluable patients in cohort 1 who could be followed for ≥2 post-baseline scans. The only evaluable patient in cohort 2 had no response. The most frequent treatment- emergent adverse events were increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, and diarrhea. CONCLUSIONS Selpercatinib appeared to be effective in Japanese patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, and the safety profile was not substantially different from published results.

Abstract
9075 Background: In previous J-ALTA (NCT03410108) analyses, brigatinib demonstrated substantial efficacy and manageable safety in pts with TKI-refractory and TKI-naive ALK+ NSCLC. We report the final J-ALTA results. Methods: J-ALTA was a single arm, multicenter, open-label study that included ALK TKI-naive and -refractory NSCLC expansion parts. The main cohort within the refractory part was a group with alectinib-refractory NSCLC. Primary endpoints: IRC-assessed confirmed ORR in the alectinib-refractory cohort; IRC-assessed 12-month PFS in the TKI-naive cohort. Secondary endpoints included confirmed ORR (IRC-assessed in the total refractory cohort; investigator-assessed in all cohorts); DoR, PFS, DCR, and iPFS by IRC; and safety. Final analyses were performed following last pt last contact. Results: A total of 104 pts were enrolled; 72 had TKI-refractory (56% female; median age, 53.0 y) and 32 had TKI-naive (53% female; median age, 60.5 y) NSCLC. As of 28 July, 2021 (last pt last contact), median follow-up was 24.2 mo in the refractory cohort (alectinib-refractory subgroup [n = 47], 23.0 mo) and 22.1 mo in the TKI-naive cohort. Confirmed ORR was 34% (95% CI: 21–49) by IRC with 16 partial responses (PR) in the alectinib-refractory cohort and 32% (21–44; 22 PR) in the total refractory cohort. In the TKI-naive cohort, IRC-assessed 24-mo PFS was 73% (90% CI: 55–85); median PFS was not mature. Additional efficacy analyses are reported in Table. TEAEs were reported in all 104 pts (most common: increased CPK, 79%; hypertension, 48%; diarrhea, 47%). Grade ≥3 TEAEs were reported in 68% and 91% of pts in the TKI-refractory and -naive cohorts, respectively; most commonly (TKI-refractory/naive) elevated CPK, 24%/50%; elevated lipase, 15%/19%; hypertension, 11%/34%. Pneumonitis was mandated to be reported as an SAE regardless of severity and was the only SAE reported in > 5% of pts (refractory, n = 5 [7%; early onset, 1]; naive, n = 4 [13%; early onset, 0]). TEAEs led to dose interruption/reduction/discontinuation in 63%/31%/7% of pts in the TKI-refractory cohort and 94%/69%/0% in the TKI-naive cohort. Conclusions: Final efficacy and safety results in pts with TKI-refractory and -naive NSCLC were consistent with previous J-ALTA analyses. No new safety signals were observed in either cohort. Brigatinib demonstrated a favorable benefit-risk profile and is an important option for Japanese pts with ALK+ NSCLC regardless of TKI treatment history. Clinical trial information: NCT03410108.

Abstract
Background PD-L1 expression on tumor cells is a marker of PD-1/PD-L1 antibody treatment efficacy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PD-L1 antibody (atezolizumab) prolongs overall survival (OS) compared with platinum doublet as first-line treatment for NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression. Bevacizumab enhanced cytotoxic agent and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor efficacy in non-squamous (NS)-NSCLC, and PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in preclinical models. Methods This single-arm phase II study investigated clinical benefits of adding bevacizumab 15 mg/kg to atezolizumab 1200 mg fixed dose in a first-line setting for advanced NS-NSCLC patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50% without EGFR/ALK/ROS1 alterations. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by central review committee. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), OS, and safety. Results Of 39 enrolled patients, 33 (84.6%) had stage IV NSCLC and 36 (92.3%) had smoking history. As of March 31, 2020, no patient had a complete response and 25 patients had a partial response (ORR=64.1%, 95% CI 47.18 to 78.80). Twelve-month PFS and OS rates were 54.9% (35.65 to 70.60) and 70.6% (50.53 to 83.74), respectively. The median DOR in 25 responders was 10.4 months (4.63–not reached). The median treatment cycle was 12 (1 to 27). Nineteen patients discontinued study treatment because of disease progression (N=17) or immune-related adverse events (AEs) (N=2) (sclerosing cholangitis or encephalopathy). There were 23 serious AEs in 12 patients, but no grade 4/5 toxicity. Conclusions Atezolizumab with bevacizumab is a potential treatment for NS-NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression. Trial registration number JapicCTI-184038.

Abstract
Concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is the standard of care for patients with unresectable stage II/III lung cancer. However, systemic chemotherapy is required for patients who are ineligible for radical radiation therapy. There is little evidence to date for the safety and efficacy of CRT administered after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The cases reported here had inoperable stage III lung cancer (non‐small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer) and were ineligible for radical radiation therapy. They were administered ICIs plus chemotherapy and subsequently underwent late concurrent CRT. Because of the remarkable tumor shrinkage achieved by the ICIs plus chemotherapy, adverse events of CRT were tolerable. They were alive without tumor progression as of this report, over 1 year after CRT was terminated. CRT is administered with curative intent, while the intent of immunochemotherapy is palliative. Late concurrent CRT after immunochemotherapy is probably effective and tolerable. After treatment with systemic chemotherapy in patients judged ineligible for radical radiation therapy, radiation therapy should be reconsidered because of its importance once tumor shrinkage has been achieved.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have markedly improved the prognosis of many patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the relationship between the patient’s nutritional/immunologic status and the outcomes of ICI treatment remains unclear. In previous retrospective studies, we reported that the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, skeletal muscle area, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were independent predictors of the response of NSCLC patients to anti-PD-1 drugs. The aim of this prospective multi-center study is to investigate the clinical impact of pre-treatment nutritional/immunologic indices and early post-treatment changes in the indices on treatment outcomes in advanced NSCLC. The main inclusion criteria are: (1) stage IV NSCLC, or stage III NSCLC not applicable for definitive chemoradiotherapy; (2) treatment with ICIs (monotherapy or combined with chemotherapy) as first-line therapy; and (3) available data on PD-L1 expression on tumor cells. A total of 300 patients will be enrolled prospectively. Enrollment will begin in 2020 and the final analyses will be completed by 2025.

Abstract
Molecular drugs targeting mutated or rearranged oncogene drivers have become one of the standard recognized treatments in patients with advanced and recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. RET is located in the long arm of human chromosome 10 and encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase protein, and RET fusion-positive lung adenocarcinoma occurs in 1%-2% of cases. Clinical trials of multikinase inhibitors, including cabozantinib, vandetanib, sorafenib, and lenvatinib, that inhibit RET oncogene activity have shown their antitumor efficacy. Recently, RET inhibitors such as pralsetinib and selpercatinib that are specialized for RET kinase have also been developed, and their efficacy was investigated in previous clinical trials (BLU-667 and LOXO-292). In this review, we summarized the effects and adverse events of multikinase and selective RET inhibitors and the various diagnostic techniques for RET gene fusion. In the perspective part, we focused on the unsolved issues on treatment for RET fusion-positive lung cancer and future developments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a standard therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although lung cancer adjoining emphysematous bullae (Ca-ADJ) were reported to express higher programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), the predictive impact of Ca-ADJ on the response to ICIs is unknown. METHODS Two hundred and fifty-seven advanced or recurrent NSCLC patients treated with ICI monotherapy at Kyushu University Hospital and National Hospital Organization Kyushu Cancer Center were analyzed. To minimize the bias arising from the patients' background, adjusted Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses using inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTW) were performed. RESULTS Of the 257 patients, 55 had Ca-ADJ. Patients with Ca-ADJ were significantly associated with younger age (P = 0.0343), male sex (P = 0.0070), and smoking (P = 0.0080). The objective response rate of cases with Ca-ADJ was significantly higher than that of those without Ca-ADJ (36.4% vs. 20.8%, respectively; P = 0.0167). The disease control rate of cases with Ca-ADJ was also significantly higher than tumors without Ca-ADJ (63.6% vs. 47.5%, respectively; P = 0.0341). The IPTW-adjusted Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with Ca-ADJ had significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) than those without Ca-ADJ (P = 0.0407 and P = 0.0126, respectively). On IPTW-adjusted Cox analysis, Ca-ADJ was an independent predictor of PFS and OS (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Patients with Ca-ADJ may be good candidates for ICIs. These findings should be validated prospectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Agents targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) have been approved as monotherapy for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In preclinical models, the combined targeting of PD-1 and delta-like protein 3 resulted in enhanced antitumor activity. Herein, we report results from the expansion arm of study NCT03000257 evaluating the combination of the anti-PD-1 antibody budigalimab and the targeted antibody-drug conjugate rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T) in patients with previously treated SCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS This expansion arm of a multicenter, open-label, multi-arm, first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial enrolled adult patients with progressive SCLC. The primary objective was to assess safety and tolerability. Patients received budigalimab 375 mg via intravenous infusion every 3 weeks, and Rova-T was administered as a dose of 0.3 mg/kg intravenously, on day 1 of the first and third 3-week cycle. RESULTS As of October 2019, 31 patients with SCLC were enrolled and treated with budigalimab plus Rova-T. The combination was tolerated, with the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (in >30%) being pleural effusion, fatigue, and cough. The overall response rate was 24.1%, with one confirmed complete response and six confirmed partial responses. The overall response rate in patients with high delta-like protein 3 expression was similar (21.1%). The median progression-free survival was 3.48 months. CONCLUSION Combination therapy with budigalimab and Rova-T had promising efficacy and appeared to be tolerated in patients with SCLC. Although Rova-T development has been discontinued, development of budigalimab combined with other anticancer agents is ongoing.

Abstract
9040 Background: Brigatinib is a next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting ALK and ROS1. Crizotinib is the first drug approved for the treatment of ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC. Standard treatment for crizotinib-resistant ROS1 positive NSCLC is not established. Barossa is a multicenter, phase II basket, study of brigatinib in patients with ROS1 positive solid tumors. This study is composed of three cohorts. ROS1 inhibitor-naïve ROS1 positive NSCLC patients were enrolled in the cohort 1, and ROS1 positive NSCLC patients previously treated with crizotinib were enrolled in the cohort 2. Patients with ROS 1 positive solid tumors other than NSCLC were enrolled in the cohort 3. This time we report the cohort 2 results. Methods: Patients with advanced, previously treated with crizotinib, ROS1 positive NSCLC received brigatinib at a dose of 180 mg once daily with a 7-day lead-in period at 90 mg. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR; RECIST 1.1) by independent review. Key secondary endpoint was PFS, OS, and safety. The sample size was set at 19 patients, with a one-sided alpha of 0.05, beta of 0.2, and threshold and expected values for primary endpoint of 20% and 50%, respectively. Results: From July 2019 and Jan 2020, 19 patients were enrolled from 9 institutions. Baseline characteristics as follows: median age (range): 60 (31-75) years; women, n = 10 (53%); ECOG PS of 0 to 1, n = 18 (95%); never smoker, n = 11 (58%); tumor histopathological type: adenocarcinoma, n = 18 (95%). Five and 6 patients achieved PR and SD, respectively at data cutoff date of 30 Oct 2020. The ORR was 26.3% (90%CI, 11.0-47.6), and the disease control rate was 57.9% (95%CI, 33.5-79.7). The median duration of follow-up for PFS was 12.0 months. The median PFS was 7.3 months (95% CI, 1.3-9.3), and the 1-year PFS rate was 26.9% (95%CI, 9.2-48.6). Grade ≥3 TRAEs were CPK increased (21.1%), infection (5.3%), AST and/or ALT increased (5.3%), hypercalcemia (5.3%), anorexia (5.3%), hypoxia (5.3%), erythema (5.3%), hypertension (5.3%). Pneumonitis was observed in one patient (5.3%, Grade 2). No treatment-related death was observed. Conclusions: Brigatinib has modest activity for ROS1 positive NSCLC patients previously treated with crizotinib. The safety profile of brigatinib was consistent with previous studies. Enrollment of the cohort 1 for ROS1 inhibitor-naïve NSCLC patients is ongoing, and the data will be presented at a future congress. Clinical trial information: JapicCTI-194851.

Abstract
9054 Background: RAS ( KRAS, NRAS and HRAS) is a targetable oncogene family in several cancers, including NSCLC, and the clinical development of various RAS-targeted therapies are ongoing. However, the clinical relevance of uncommon RAS mutations, such as NRAS and HRAS mutations, in NSCLC patients (pts) remains unclear. Methods: In a large-scale genomic screening project (LC-SCRUM-Asia), we have prospectively analyzed lung cancer pts for genomic alterations by a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) system, Oncomine Comprehensive Assay. We evaluated clinico-pathological and genomic characteristics in NRAS- or HRAS-mutated NSCLC pts comparing with those in KRAS-mutated pts based on the LC-SCRUM-Asia database. Results: Since March 2015 to December 2020, 9131 NSCLC pts were enrolled in the LC-SCRUM-Asia, and 8374 of them (92%) were successfully analyzed by NGS. The RAS mutation frequencies were 1134 KRAS (14%), 50 NRAS (0.6%), and 15 HRAS (0.2%). The most frequent variant of NRAS and HRAS mutations was Q61X (78%) and G13X (80%), respectively, whereas that of KRAS was G12X (84%). Patient characteristics were summarized in Table. Male was significantly frequent in NRAS- than in KRAS-group (p=0.03), and smokers were frequent in all the three groups (overall, 79%). The majority of NRAS (70%) and KRAS mutations (89%) were detected in adenocarcinoma (Ad), whereas 60% of HRAS mutations were in squamous cell carcinoma (Sq). Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was significantly higher in NRAS-mutated tumors than in KRAS-mutated tumors (p=0.03). Concomitant TP53 mutations were significantly frequent in HRAS-mutated pts than in KRAS-mutated pts (53% vs. 30%, p=0.05), and STK11 mutations were also tended to be frequent in HRAS-mutated pts than in KRAS-mutated pts (20 vs. 7%, p=0.10). Therapeutic efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors was not different among the three groups in the current follow-up data, but HRAS-mutated tumors did not respond to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (response rate, 0%; median PFS, 1.6 months). Conclusions: NRAS- or HRAS-mutated NSCLCs were different from KRAS-mutated NSCLCs in clinico-pathological and genomic profiles. In particular, the immunotherapies were not effective for HRAS-mutated NSCLCs.[Table: see text]

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become the standard of care for the treatment of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With the increasing use of ICIs, clinicians should be familiar with their immune‐related adverse events, including sarcoid‐like reactions, which have been associated with the use of ICIs in patients with cancer. Sarcoid‐like reactions are caused by uncontrolled T helper 1‐mediated immune responses resulting from ICIs, but their pathophysiology is not fully understood. Sarcoid‐like reactions are often clinically important because they mimic metastases from treated cancer. According to previous reports, sarcoid‐like reactions are typically observed in intrathoracic locations (lung and/or mediastinal lymph nodes) and the skin. In this study, we report an extremely rare case of extrathoracic sarcoid‐like reaction in the right external iliac lymph node following two cycles of pembrolizumab therapy in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma. The laboratory data and computed tomography images suggested that infectious and autoimmune diseases were not considered to be the causative agents. Residual bone metastasis might have caused T helper 1‐mediated immune responses by pembrolizumab, and contributed to sarcoid‐like reactions in the right external iliac lymph node. Sarcoid‐like reactions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with lung cancer treated with ICIs who exhibit worsening extrathoracic lymph node swelling. Clinicians should be cautious not to mistake extrathoracic sarcoid‐like reactions of the lymph nodes for progression of the treated disease.

Abstract
Purpose Anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibodies have emerged as frontline treatments for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on the basis of global Phase III trials. However, current data regarding responses to anti–PD-1 therapy in older patients with NSCLC or those with poor performance status (PS) are limited. Therefore, we examined the therapeutic effect of anti PD-1 antibody in these patients. Patients We retrospectively examined consecutive patients treated with anti–PD-1 monotherapy (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) from January 2016 to September 2018. Results We enrolled 125 patients (median age, 60 years), 80.8% of whom were men. Patients aged ≥75 years were considered older patients (n = 15), and those with PS 2–3 were regarded as having poor PS (n = 11). The objective response and disease control rates were 15.4% and 46.2%, respectively, in older patients and 9.1% and 27.3%, respectively, in those with poor PS. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) did not significantly differ between older and younger patients. However, poor PS was significantly associated with poor survival. High programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor specimens (≥50%) was associated with favorable survival in the entire cohort as well as patients with poor PS. Safety analyses demonstrated no significant difference in the occurrence of any adverse event, including grade ≥3 adverse events, between patients with poor PS or older age and the remaining patients. Conclusion Anti–PD-1 therapy had similar efficacy in older and younger patients with NSCLC, whereas survival was significantly worse in patients with poor PS. However, immune checkpoint inhibitors may be considered for patients with poor PS harboring positive PD-L1 expression.

Abstract
Mesenchymal‐epithelial transition (MET) pathway activation is associated with the mechanisms that influence properties affecting cancer cell survival and invasiveness. The MET exon 14 skipping mutation (METex14del) is found in 2%–3% of patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous studies reported that NSCLC patients harboring a METex14del responded well to MET‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including tepotinib. Tepotinib is a highly selective, once‐daily oral MET inhibitor that has shown promising clinical activity in patients with NSCLC with METex14del. The Food and Drug Administration accepted a new drug application for tepotinib as a treatment for patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring METex14del in February 2021 [Correction added on 5 March 2021, after first online publication: the FDA approval date for tepotinib has been corrected from ‘September 2019’ to ‘February 2021’.]. However, in the previous clinical trials involving MET‐TKIs, only patients with stable central nervous system metastases were eligible, and those with untreated symptomatic brain metastases (BMs) were excluded. Therefore, the efficacy and safety of MET‐TKIs in that population remains unknown. We herein report a case of dramatic intracranial response to tepotinib in a patient with symptomatic BMs from lung adenocarcinoma harboring METex14del. In the current report, the symptoms derived from multiple BMs (headache and loss of appetite) rapidly disappeared, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination showed that all the lesions were too small to measure only 23 days after the commencement of tepotinib. For NSCLC patients with multiple BMs, whole‐brain irradiation is a standard‐of‐care therapy, but its adverse effects on neurocognition are concerning. Tepotinib might therefore be a therapeutic option for NSCLC patients with symptomatic multiple BMs harboring METex14del.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become one of the standard therapies in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although inflammatory indices, including Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) were reported to be reliable predictors for survival in cancer patients, their clinical utility in NSCLC patients treated with ICIs is unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS Advanced or recurrent NSCLC patients (n = 304) treated with ICI monotherapy at the National Hospital Organization Kyushu Cancer Center and Kyushu University Hospital between January 2016 and December 2019 were analyzed. Information on patient demographics, GPS, mGPS, and CAR at diagnosis were collected. The time-dependent area under curves (AUCs) of receiver operating characteristic curves for the prediction of overall survival (OS) for each factor were compared. RESULTS Of the three indices, GPS was the most significantly correlated with the degree of disease control rate (DCR) (DCR of GPS of 0, 1, and 2: 63.6 %, 49.4 %, and 41.4 %, respectively). The time-dependent AUC values of GPS for the prediction of OS were superior to those of mGPS and CAR (time-dependent AUC values of GPS, mGPS, and CAR for the prediction of 1-year OS: 0.7005, 0.6736, and 0.6565, respectively). GPS was significantly correlated with performance status (PS) (P < 0.0001) and clinical stage (P = 0.0139). GPS in combination with PS effectively predicted survival at 1 year ranging from 83.5 % (GPS = 0, PS = 0) to 25.0 % (GPS = 2, PS = 2, 3). A multivariable analysis revealed that GPS was an independent predictor of PFS and OS (P = 0.0009 and P = 0.0100, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We report for the first time that GPS represents a simple and useful prognostic factor in NSCLC patients treated with ICIs and should be validated prospectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three immune-nutritional parameters exist for malignant tumors using serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin: the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), the modified GPS (mGPS), and the CRP-albumin ratio (CAR). However, it remains unclear which of the three parameters is the most predictive of prognosis. Therefore, this study compared the clinical and prognostic significance of these parameters for non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC). METHODS The study retrospectively enrolled 596 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical resection at the authors' institution from January 2010 to December 2015 and investigated the clinicopathologic significance of GPS, mGPS, and CAR. The optimal cutoff value for CAR was determined by a receiver operating curve (ROC). RESULTS The median age of the patients was 69 years. Lymph node metastases were identified in 99 patients, and 455 patients had a diagnosis of stage 1 disease. The positivity for GPS was 7.6%, and that of mGPS (score, 1 or 2) was 12.2%. Of the 596 patients, 480 patients (80.5%) were classified in the high CAR group. In univariate survival analyses, all three parameters were associated significantly with postoperative survival. The multivariate analyses showed CAR to be an independent prognostic factor. Additionally, survival analyses of the stage 1 subgroup were performed because CAR was higher for patients with an advanced stage of disease or lymph node metastases. In these subgroup analyses, CAR also was an independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSION As the most prognostic index, CAR may be useful among the immunonutritional parameters using CRP and albumin for resected NSCLC.

Abstract
Immunotherapy targeting programmed death-1 or programmed death-ligand 1 has become the standard of care for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Several recent clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as neoadjuvant treatment for early NSCLC. However, the safety and feasibility of pulmonary resection after ICIs remain unclear. We herein report a patient in whom cohesion between the left main pulmonary artery and left upper bronchus was found during left upper lobectomy following neoadjuvant ICI combined with chemotherapy. After both central and peripheral sides of the left main pulmonary artery were clamped with the aim of controlling hemorrhage in case of vascular injury, the left main pulmonary artery and left upper bronchus were divided and individually cut with staplers. The thoracoscopic procedure was otherwise uneventful. The patient was discharged from our hospital with no postoperative complications. Thoracic surgeons should anticipate the possible need for management of cohesion between a pulmonary artery and bronchus in patients who have received immune checkpoint inhibitors preoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), MET exon 14 skipping mutations occur in 3 to 4% and MET amplifications occur in 1 to 6%. Capmatinib, a selective inhibitor of the MET receptor, has shown activity in cancer models with various types of MET activation. METHODS We conducted a multiple-cohort, phase 2 study evaluating capmatinib in patients with MET-dysregulated advanced NSCLC. Patients were assigned to cohorts on the basis of previous lines of therapy and MET status (MET exon 14 skipping mutation or MET amplification according to gene copy number in tumor tissue). Patients received capmatinib (400-mg tablet) twice daily. The primary end point was overall response (complete or partial response), and the key secondary end point was response duration; both end points were assessed by an independent review committee whose members were unaware of the cohort assignments. RESULTS A total of 364 patients were assigned to the cohorts. Among patients with NSCLC with a MET exon 14 skipping mutation, overall response was observed in 41% (95% confidence interval [CI], 29 to 53) of 69 patients who had received one or two lines of therapy previously and in 68% (95% CI, 48 to 84) of 28 patients who had not received treatment previously; the median duration of response was 9.7 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 13.0) and 12.6 months (95% CI, 5.6 to could not be estimated), respectively. Limited efficacy was observed in previously treated patients with MET amplification who had a gene copy number of less than 10 (overall response in 7 to 12% of patients). Among patients with MET amplification and a gene copy number of 10 or higher, overall response was observed in 29% (95% CI, 19 to 41) of previously treated patients and in 40% (95% CI, 16 to 68) of those who had not received treatment previously. The most frequently reported adverse events were peripheral edema (in 51%) and nausea (in 45%); these events were mostly of grade 1 or 2. CONCLUSIONS Capmatinib showed substantial antitumor activity in patients with advanced NSCLC with a MET exon 14 skipping mutation, particularly in those not treated previously. The efficacy in MET-amplified advanced NSCLC was higher in tumors with a high gene copy number than in those with a low gene copy number. Low-grade peripheral edema and nausea were the main toxic effects. (Funded by Novartis Pharmaceuticals; GEOMETRY mono-1 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02414139.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pack-year index, which is calculated by multiplying a smoking period by the number of cigarette packs smoked per day, is frequently used to investigate the risk of developing lung cancer. Notably, however, whether the smoking period or the number of packs per day is more predictive of postoperative prognosis remains unclear in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who receive curative lung resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Initial screening included 2055 consecutive lung cancer patients who had underwent curative lung resection between 2000 and 2016 at a single center in Japan. Data from 1134 NSCLC patients with smoking history were ultimately analyzed. Time-dependent areas under the curve (AUCs) were used to compare diagnostic accuracy. RESULTS On univariate analysis, the number of packs smoked per day was not a significant predictor of disease-free survival (DFS; p = 0.2387) or overall survival (OS; p = 0.1357). On multivariable analysis, smoking period was an independent predictor of DFS and OS (both p < 0.0001). Time-dependent smoking period AUCs were superior to those of number of packs smoked per day. On subgroup analyses, patients with a smoking period ≥ 40 years had significantly shorter DFS and OS than those with a smoking period of < 40 years, independent of sex, clinical stage, and histological type. CONCLUSIONS Smoking period was a significant prognostic indicator in NSCLC patients who underwent curative lung resection, which should be validated in further prospective and/or multicenter studies with large sample sizes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A randomized phase 3 study was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy with S-1 after induction therapy with carboplatin plus S-1 in patients with advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced or relapsed squamous NSCLC were treated with carboplatin (area under the curve of 5 on day 1 every 3 weeks) plus S-1 (40 mg/m2 twice per day on days 1-14 every 3 weeks) as induction therapy. Patients who did not progress after 4 cycles of induction therapy were randomized to receive either S-1 plus best supportive care (BSC) or BSC alone. The primary objective of the study was to confirm the superiority of S-1 plus BSC in comparison with BSC alone with respect to progression-free survival. RESULTS Of the 365 patients enrolled in the study, 347 participated in the induction phase, and 131 of these individuals were randomized to receive S-1 plus BSC (n = 67) or BSC alone (n = 64). The risk of disease progression was significantly lower for patients in the S-1 plus BSC arm than those in the BSC-alone arm (hazard ratio, 0.548; 95% confidence interval, 0.374-0.802; P = .0019). The most common toxicities during maintenance therapy with S-1 included anorexia, anemia, and fatigue, but most cases were not severe. CONCLUSIONS Continued maintenance with S-1 plus BSC is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with advanced squamous NSCLC previously treated with carboplatin plus S-1.

Abstract
In patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is one of the standard therapies for those suffering with intracranial metastatic NSCLC. Radiation‐induced necrosis (RIN) sometimes occurs as the result of the delayed effects of SRT. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of RIN typically shows hypointense and hyperintense lesions on T1‐ and T2‐weighted images, respectively. We herein report a patient with a growing brain cystic lesion mimicking RIN adjacent to a post‐radiation brain metastasis from NSCLC harboring anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangement. The patient underwent surgical resection of the brain tumor because of the symptoms. The pathological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma, and the pathological findings were an encapsulated nodular mass composed of dilated, cavernous vascular spaces with no residual tumor or recurrence. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility for the development of a brain cavernous hemangioma following SRT in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
The transformation of adenocarcinoma to small cell lung cancer has been reported as acquisition of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We here report a patient who presented histologically confirmed transformation of adenocarcinoma to small cell lung cancer after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor. A 65-year-old man was treated with pembrolizumab as first-line therapy and achieved temporarily a stable disease with progression after six cycles of this agent. At that stage, a transbronchial biopsy showed small cell lung cancer, and he was found to have high serum concentrations of neuron-specific enolase despite concentrations of numerous tumor markers, including neuron-specific enolase, having been within normal limits at the time of presentation. The patient thereafter was treated as a small cell carcinoma patient using cisplatin plus irinotecan and amrubicin.

Abstract
9038 Background: The clinical significance of genetic alterations in stage II/III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has not yet been clarified. We have prospectively analyzed NSCLC patients for cancer-related gene alterations and have followed up clinical course of the patients, establishing a large-scale clinico-genomic database in our nationwide genome screening project (LC-SCRUM-Japan). Methods: Submitted tumor samples were subjected to a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) system, Oncomine™ Comprehensive Assay. Therapeutic and prognostic data were collected and updated every year. Results: Since March 2015 to May 2019, 5166 non-squamous NSCLC patients from 263 institutions had been enrolled in the LC-SCRUM-Japan, and 754 of them were diagnosed as stage II/III. The median age of the 754 patients was 67 years (range, 21-92), and 503 (67%) were male, 595 (79%) smokers and 631 (84%) stage III. Of 640 available samples, 258 (40%) had targetable gene alterations, comprising 106 KRAS mut, 42 EGFR mut, 29 BRAF mut, 20 MET ex14skip/amp, 16 ALK fus, 12 ROS1 fus, 11 ERBB2 ex20ins, 8 RET fus, 7 EGFR ex20ins, 5 AKT1 mut, 1 NRG1 fus, 1 FGFR2/3 fus. In patients who received surgery (n = 159), 3-year disease-free survival rate was worse in patients with targetable gene alterations than in those without (40% vs 58% months; p = 0.03). In patients who received cytotoxic chemo-radiotherapy (n = 148), the response rate was similar in patients with targetable gene alterations and those without (70% vs. 77%); however, 3-year progression-free survival rate tended to be shorter in patients with targetable gene alterations than in those without (19% vs 35%; p = 0.08). Conclusions: In stage II/III NSCLC, the total frequency of targetable gene alterations was similar to that previously evaluated in our stage IV cohort (45%), and the current standard therapies showed early progression in the targetable gene-altered patients. A novel effective multimodality treatment in combination with targeted therapies is needed for this population.

Abstract
9574 Background: Prior data from a phase I/II study showed durable responses, including efficacy in brain lesions, and a tolerable safety profile with nazartinib in treatment (tx)-naïve patients (pts) with EGFR-mutant (mut), locally advanced (adv)/metastatic NSCLC. Here we report updated phase II results, including overall survival (OS). Methods: Tx-naïve adult pts with activating EGFR-mut (L858R or ex19del), stage IIIB/IV adv NSCLC with neurologically stable and controlled brain metastasis (BM) received oral nazartinib 150 mg once daily (continuous schedule). Primary endpoint: overall response rate (ORR) by BIRC per RECIST v1.1; secondary endpoints: disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), time to response, progression-free survival (PFS), OS, and safety. Results: At data cut-off (Nov 1, 2019), 45 pts were enrolled (median [range] age: 64 [28–83] years; 26 pts [58%] ECOG PS 1; 18 pts [40%] had baseline BM). EGFR mutations: 56% ex19del, 40% L858R, 4% other. 26/45 pts (58%) discontinued tx, with the primary reason being progressive disease in 19 pts (42%); 2 pts (4%) discontinued tx due to AEs. Median (range) follow-up for OS: 25 (0–33) months (mo); and for PFS: 17 (0–33) mo. ORR by BIRC: 69%; median PFS by BIRC: 18 mo; median OS was NE and at 33 mo, 56% of pts were alive (Table). BIRC results by baseline BM are shown in the Table. Median (range) duration of exposure: 24 (0–34) mo. Most frequent AEs (≥20% all grade, all causality): diarrhea (47%), maculopapular rash (38%), pyrexia (29%), cough and stomatitis (27% each), decreased appetite and pruritus (24% each), and dermatitis acneiform (22%). Most frequent grade 3/4 AEs (≥10%, all causality): maculopapular rash (5 pts [11%]; all grade 3) and increased lipase (5 pts [11%]; 1 pt with grade 4; no clinical pancreatitis AE was observed). Conclusions: After additional follow-up, median OS was still not reached and the safety profile was manageable. Nazartinib is a promising 3rd generation EGFR TKI for tx-naïve pts with adv EGFR-mut NSCLC, including pts with baseline BM. Clinical trial information: NCT02108964 . [Table: see text]

Abstract
9590 Background: BRAF mutations are functionally classified into three groups, comprisingV600-mutant kinase-activating monomers (class I), kinase-activating dimers (class II), kinase-inactivating heterodimers (class III). The difference of clinical outcomes and concomitant genetic alterations among the three classes in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are unclear. Methods: We have prospectively analyzed NSCLC patients (pts) for cancer-related genes by a next-generation sequencing system, Oncomine™ Comprehensive Assay, in a large-scale genome screening project in Japan (LC-SCRUM-Japan). The clinical characteristics and outcomes of pts with BRAF-mutated non-squamous (non-sq) NSCLC were comparatively evaluated among the three classes of BRAF mutations. Results: A total of 5166 non-sq NSCLC pts were enrolled into the LC-SCRUM-Japan from 2015 to 2019. BRAF mutations were detected in 176 pts (3%). Among the 176 pts, 153 (87%) were classified into the three classes according to the mutation variants, including 65 (42%) into class I, 52 (34%) into class II and 36 (24%) into class III. The remaining 23 were not classified into any of the three classes. Compared with class I, class II or class III was significantly associated with smoking (P = 0.02 and < 0.01, respectively). Concomitant RAS mutations were significantly more frequent in class II and class III than in class I (P < 0.01 and = 0.04, respectively). The frequency of concomitant STK11 mutations was significantly higher in class III than in others (P < 0.01, respectively). There was no significant difference in the frequency of other oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations among the three classes. In the 1st-line platinum-containing chemotherapies for advanced or recurrent cases, median progression-free survival (mPFS) of class III pts was shorter than class I or class II pts (4.2, 11.5 and 4.8 months, I vs III; P < 0.01, II vs III; P = 0.06). In the treatment with 2nd-4th line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, mPFS was not significantly different among the three classes. Overall survival of class III pts was significantly shorter than class I pts (11.9 vs 35.2 months, P = 0.03). Conclusions: Concomitant gene mutations and clinical features are largely different among the BRAF mutation classes. Especially in class III, concomitant RAS and STK11 mutations are more frequent and clinical outcomes were significantly less favorable. These results suggest the need of novel therapeutic strategy based on the mutation class for BRAF-mutated lung cancers.

Abstract
9064 Background: Development of targeted therapy for SCLC based on a large-scale genomic screening is an innovative challenge. Gedatolisib is a highly potent dual inhibitor of PI3K/mTOR and is expected to have an effect for tumors with PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway alterations. SCLC harboring this pathway alterations is rare. Thus, we conducted a phase II study based on a nationwide genomic screening network in Japan (LC-SCRUM-Japan) to develop novel targeted therapies. Methods: SCLC pts with targetable genetic alterations were screened at 154 institutions in Japan. A multicenter, single-arm phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gedatolisib in advanced SCLC pts with genetic alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). The planned sample size was 19 (threshold and expected ORR of 20% and 50%, one-sided alpha of 5%, and power of 80%). Results: 930 SCLC pts were screened from July 2015 to January 2020. Targetable genetic alterations were identified in 148 pts (16%), including 53 PI3K/AKT/mTOR (6%), 81 MYC family (9%), 10 EGFR (1%) and 15 KRAS (2%). A total of 12 pts with genetic alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (5 PIK3CA, 6 PTEN, and 1 AKT1 mutation) were enrolled in the phase II study. The median age was 67 years (range 58-79), 7 pts were male and 5 pts received 2 or more prior chemotherapy (range 1-4). The ORR was 0% and disease control rate was 25%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 0.9 months (95% CI, 0.4 to 3.0). The median overall survival was 5.8 months (95% CI, 1.1 to NR). Treatment-related G3 adverse events (hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, oral mucositis, ALT increased and creatinine increased) were observed in 4 pts. One patient with PTEN I8fs mutation had a long duration of stable disease (PFS; 6.7 months). Conclusions: This Large-scale nationwide genomic screening network was effective to identify rare targetable genetic alterations and had a potential role to develop targeted therapies in SCLC. This phase II study didn’t show promising clinical benefit of gedatolisib for advanced SCLC pts with genetic alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The safety profile of gedatolisib was similar to that reported previously. Clinical trial information: UMIN000020585.

Abstract
9589 Background: KRAS mutations are one of the common oncogene drivers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the development of several targeted drugs for KRAS-mutated NSCLC is now ongoing. However, the clinical impact of KRAS mutation subtypes or concomitant other gene mutations in NSCLC patients (pts) remains unclear. Methods: In a nationwide genomic screening project (LC-SCRUM-Japan), we have prospectively analyzed lung cancer pts for genetic alterations and tumor mutation burden (TMB) by next-generation sequencing system, and for PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry (22C3 antibody). The therapeutic efficacy and survival of KRAS-mutated non-squamous (non-sq) NSCLC pts were evaluated using a clinico-genomic database of the LC-SCRUM-Japan. Results: A total of 5166 non-sq NSCLC pts enrolled from 2015 to 2019. KRAS mutations were detected in 794 pts (15%; G12C/G12D/G12V/G12A/G13X/others = 232/186/165/66/61/84). Among the 794 pts, TMB and PD-L1 expression were analyzed in 128 and 79, respectively, and 218 received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (IO) after 1st-line chemotherapy. The median age was 66 years (range, 29-89). 142 pts (65%) were male and 172 (78%) were smokers. Concomitant STK11 mutations were detected in 33 pts (15%) with no difference in the mutation frequency among KRAS mutation subtypes. KRAS G12C was significantly associated with high TMB (≥ 10 mut/Mb) (p = 0.03), and KRAS G12C or G12V with high PD-L1 expression (≥ 50%) (p = 0.02). In pts who received IO, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was significantly longer in pts with KRAS G12C or G12V than in those with other KRAS mutations (4.7 vs 2.0 months, hazard ratio (HR) 0.58 [95%CI 0.43-0.78], p < 0.01). Among pts with KRAS G12C or G12V, mPFS of IO was significantly shorter in pts with concomitant STK11 mutations than in those without (1.8 vs. 5.7 months, HR 1.97 [95%CI 1.06-3.41], p = 0.02). These correlations were not observed in platinum-containing chemotherapy (Plt-CTx). There were also no significant differences in IO and Plt-CTx efficacies between with and without other concomitant mutations, such as TP53, RB1, CDKN2A and PTEN mutations. Conclusions: Non-sq NSCLC pts with KRAS G12C/V were more sensitive to IO therapies than those with other KRAS mutations, but KRAS G12C/V-positive pts with concomitant STK11 mutations were less sensitive than those without. These results could be highly informative in the development of novel targeted therapies for KRAS-mutated NSCLC.

Abstract
9537 Background: Brigatinib is an ALK inhibitor with demonstrated activity against ALK resistance mutations. To evaluate efficacy and safety in Japanese patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a prospective, single-arm, phase 2 study was conducted. We report the efficacy and safety of brigatinib in patients who have progressed on alectinib with or without prior crizotinib and of those who previously received up to two ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with or without prior chemotherapy. Methods: A safety evaluation lead-in was followed by an expansion stage of an ALK TKI-naïve and two ALK TKI-refractory cohorts. The refractory cohorts included patients with stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV NSCLC with ALK rearrangements. This report describes efficacy results from the post-alectinib patients in the expansion cohort and safety results from all refractory patients. The primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) assessed by IRC, secondary endpoints included duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), and intracranial ORR (iORR). Brigatinib was administered at 180 mg QD with 90 mg QD lead-in for the first 7 days, and efficacy was evaluated every 8 weeks. Results: A total of 72 patients were enrolled in 28 sites, including a cohort of 47 patients with prior alectinib, with/without crizotinib between January 2018 and September 2019. The primary analysis of brigatinib in this cohort (data cut-off date 26 September 2019) demonstrated an IRC-assessed, confirmed ORR of 30% and a median DoR of 6.1 months. The median PFS was 7.3 months. Clinically meaningful intracranial efficacy was also observed (see table). Grade ≥3 TEAEs included blood creatine phosphokinase increase (18.1%), lipase increase (13.9%), hypertension (11.1%), amylase increase (4.2%), and pneumonitis (1.4%). Brigatinib also showed anti-tumor activity in patients with refractory secondary mutations in the ALK kinase domain, including G1202R, I1171N, V1180L, and L1196M. Conclusions: Brigatinib showed clinically meaningful efficacy in Japanese patients refractory to prior alectinib (first line or post crizotinib), regardless of prior chemotherapy. The safety profile of brigatinib was consistent with prior studies and no new safety findings were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT03410108 . [Table: see text]
