Oral vinorelbine versus etoposide with cisplatin and chemo-radiation as treatment in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer: A randomized phase II (RENO study)

Objectives: Concomitant chemo-radiation is the standard treatment for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of oral vinorelbine and cisplatin (OVP) compared with etoposide and cisplatin (EP), both in combination with radiotherapy, in this setting. Material and methods: An open-label, randomized phase II trial was undertaken including 23 hospitals in Spain. Adults with untreated unresectable stage III NSCLC were randomizedl:1 to receive: oral vinorelbine (days 1 and 8 with cisplatin on day 1 in 3-week cycles; 2 cycles of induction, 2 cycles in concomitance) or etoposide (days 1-5 and 29-32 with cisplatin on d…

Clinical and molecular characteristics of the patients in the liquid biopsy study in mEGFR-NSCLC in a Spanish population (OPH-1).

e21515 Background: The liquid biopsy (LB) is an important tool in the diagnostic and follow up of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and can provide big information about the mutational variability of the disease during of the treatment. Methods: We conducted a multicenter study with 200 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, treated with first-line TKI therapy. We analyse the ctDNA by dPCR pre-treatment, at 8 weeks, at 7 months and at the progression of the disease (PD). Results: A total of 200 patients (60% women / 40% men) were included. The median of age was 68-year. The never smokers were 56% and 34% ex-smokers. 92% of the cases were adenocarcinomas. According to the stag…

ctDNA levels before treatment predict survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

9542 Background: Currently there is an intense debate concerning therapeutic strategies in EGFR positive NSCLC patients with advance disease. Osimertinib is superior to standard EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) as first line treatment. However, it is yet unclear whether this option is superior to sequential treatment of a 1st or 2nd generation TKI followed by osimertinib. In order to clarify this issue it is important to identify which patients are at high risk of progression disease. Methods: This is a prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study promoted by Spanish Lung Cancer Group. 698 plasma samples from 196 advanced NSCLC patients with tumors harboring an EGFR activating mut…
