2 LUNG CANCER OVERVIEW Incidence and Mortality 1 Annually, 1.8 million people are diagnosed with lung cancer and 1.6 million people die from lung cancer. 2 Five-year survival varies from 4-17% (17.8% in the US). 2,3 1 Gridelli C, et al.

Transl Lung Cancer Res Diarrhea Management Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 & 4 Stop laxatives. Drink 8 10 glasses of clear fluids daily. Immediately start loperamide: 4 mg (2 tablets) followed by 2 mg (1 tablet) after each loose stool (up to 20 mg daily) until bowel movements cease for 12 hours. Maintain dose level of EGFR TKI. Continue loperamide. Assess for dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Consider intravenous fluids and electrolyte replacement. If diarrhea does not improve after 48 hours, temporarily discontinue EGFR TKI. Upon improvement to grade 1, restart at a reduced dose (except gefitinib, which should be restarted at the original dose). Plus: Use stool cultures to rule out an infectious process. Apply aggressive intravenous fluid replacement for 24 hours or more. Use hospitalization to monitor the patient s progress. Consider prophylactic antibiotics if the patient is also neutropenic. Temporarily discontinue EGFR TKI. Upon improvement to grade 1, restart at a reduced dose (except gefitinib, which should be restarted at the original dose). Permanently discontinue EGFR TKI if diarrhea does not return to grade 1 within 14 days despite treatment discontinuation and best supportive care. Hirsh V, et al. Curr Oncol

5 MANAGEMENT OF EGFR TKI TOXICITIES Rash Management Topical Recommended Hydrocortisone 1% cream with moisturizer and sunscreen BID Potential New Paradigm Not Recommended Preventive IASLC Definitions Pimecrolimus 1% cream Tazarotene 0.05% cream Sunscreen as single agent Recommendation Grades C Comments Systemic Topical Minocycline 100 mg daily Doxycyline 100 mg BID Alclometasone 0.05% cream Fluocinonide 0.05% cream BID Clindamycin 1% Tetracycline 550 mg BID Treatment Vitamin K1 Cream C A Doxycycline is preferred in patients with renal impairment. Minocycline is less photosensitizing. Fluocinonide 0.05% cream BID should not be used on the face for more than 2 weeks at a time. Systemic Doxycycline 100 mg BID Minocycline 100 mg daily Isotretinoin at low doses (20-30 mg/d) Isotretinoin is photosensitizing and can Acitretin C cause xerosis.

6 EGFR MUTATION TESTING Summary of Guidelines Why test? To select patients who are likely to benefit from EGFR TKIs Which tumors to test? When to test? What to test? How fast should test results be available? Any tumor with adenocarcinoma component or NSCLC NOS At diagnosis: TNM stage IV disease (consider TNM stage I-III disease) At recurrence/progression: TNM stage I-III disease, not previously tested; and prior to changing therapy, to determine mechanism of acquired resistance Primary tumors or metastatic lesions - T790M testing: if tissue biopsy is not feasible, plasma biopsy should be considered* Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded; or fresh, frozen or alcohol-fixed specimens (decalcifying solutions should be avoided) Cytologic specimens are acceptable Test results should be made available within 10 business days of receiving the specimen in the laboratory How to test? Must be able to detect mutations in specimens with >50% cancer cell content Testing assay should be able to detect all individual mutations that have been reported with a frequency of >1% of EGFR-mutated adenocarcinomas IHC, FISH, and CISH are not recommended Sheikine Y, et al. Clin Lung Cancer. 2016; *NCCN Guidelines Version Use of Plasma EGFR Genotyping Potential New Paradigm Acquired resistance to EGFR TKI FDA-approved plasma assay for T790M and sensitizing mutations T790M+ T790M- T790M- Skip biopsy, start 3rd gen EGFR TKI Biopsy, FDA approved FFPE assay for T790M T790M+ 3rd gen EGFR TKI Chemo Adapted from Oxnard GR, et al. J Clin Oncol

7 Detection of T790M Tumor Biopsy vs Liquid Biopsy Comparison Agreement (%) 95% CI Kappa CTC vs all biopsy ctdna vs all biopsy CTC/ctDNA vs all biopsy No single diagnostic test for acquired resistance, including tumor biopsy, can be considered a gold standard. Adapted from Oxnard GR, et al. J Clin Oncol Implementing Guidelines Staying current with rapidly evolving practice standards - Consider promoting a local physician champion to educate colleagues in their region or community - Establish formal venues for the communication of biomarker education Managing resources and communication between stakeholders - Every patient suspected of having advancedstage disease should, ideally, be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team - Each institution should establish a molecular testing policy that covers reflex testing - Nurse navigators may help streamline patient care and facilitate consistent communication among multidisciplinary teams - Electronic health records should be maintained and shared among the multidisciplinary teams Optimizing tissue acquisition and processing - Tissue acquirers and pathologists should communicate effectively to ensure that tissue obtained for molecular testing is of sufficient quantity and quality - Decision on the optimal diagnostic procedure for molecular testing should be individualized and include risk-benefit analysis - Ensure timely identification of actionable biomarkers - Efficient use of pleural fluid may facilitate molecular testing Levy BP, et al. Oncologist
