ABSTRACT Background Tumor EGFR and KRas mutations are both predictive and prognostic biomarkers in patients with advanced NSCLC. We analyzed the correlation between these biomarkers and treatment outcomes in a phase III trial of 3rd/4th line sorafenib in patients with NSCLC. Methods The global, randomized, placebo-controlled MISSION trial enrolled 703 patients with advanced relapsed/refractory NSCLC of predominantly non-squamous histology. The primary study endpoint was overall survival (OS). EGFR and KRas mutations were analyzed in archival tumor samples and in circulating tumor DNA isolated from plasma. Results Tumor and/or plasma mutation data were available from 347 patients (49%). EGFR…

TPS4140 Background: Survival of HER2+ metastatic GC is prolonged by trastuzumab when administered with CF/X (VanCutsem, ASCO 2009). Lapatinib inhibits both EGFR1 and HER2, is active in HER2+ GC lines, and has shown clinical activity in uncontrolled phase II GC trials. A phase III trial of lapatinib with X + oxaliplatin in HER2+ (FISH) GC is closed to recruitment. Additional unaddressed questions include the efficacy and safety of lapatinib with ECF/X (epirubicin + cisplatin + 5-FU or capecitabine (X), which is a preferred chemotherapy (CT) regimen in GC), and its activity in patients (pts) with discordant FISH or IHC HER2 status or EGFR1+. Methods: This is a phase II, randomized, double- b…
