Developed in association with the European Thoracic Oncology Platform
Letter from Prof Rolf Stahel Dear Colleagues It is my pleasure to present this ETOP slide set which has been designed to highlight and summarise key findings in thoracic cancers from the major congresses in 2019. This slide set specifically focuses on the ESMO 2019 Congress and is available in 4 languages – English, French, Chinese and Japanese. The area of clinical research in oncology is a challenging and ever changing environment. Within this environment we all value access to scientific data and research which helps to educate and inspire further advancements in our roles as scientists, clinicians and educators. I hope you find this review of the latest developments in thoracic cancers of benefit to you in your practice. If you would like to share your thoughts with us we would welcome your comments. Please send any correspondence to etop@etop.eu-org. I would like to thank our ETOP members Drs Solange Peters and Martin Reck for their roles as Editors – for prioritising abstracts and reviewing slide content. The slide set you see before you would not be possible without their commitment and hard work. Finally, we are also very grateful to Lilly Oncology for their financial, administrative and logistical support in the realisation of this complex yet rewarding activity. Yours sincerely, Rolf Stahel President, ETOP Foundation Council

Screening and biomarkers
LBA17: Harmonization study of tumour mutational burden determination in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) – Garrido-Martin EM, et al Study objective To evaluate the performance of two gene panel assays for the detection of TMB, and investigate the correlation of calculated TMBs with PD-L1 expression in NSCLC Methods Tumour samples (n=100) were collected from patients with early stage NSCLC from 22 hospitals in Spain TMB was assessed using two NGS panels (TSO500a and TMLb) and compared with the standard reference method (F1CDxc) TMB was calculated as the total number of mutations (synonymous and non- synonymous) per exonic Mb aSNVs and indels; bSNVs; cSNVs, indels, CNAs, select rearrangements Garrido-Martin EM, et al.

Overall, pneumonitis was reported by 34 patients (7 grade 3, 1 grade 5), oesophagitis by 24 patients (5 grade 3) and dyspnoea by 27 patients (2 grade 3) In total, 240 nivolumab TRAEs were reported; 26 grade 3, 5 grade 4 and 4 grade 5 (colitis, pulmonary fibrosis, autoimmune disorder, pneumonitis). Of these, 7% (17/240 TRAEs) led to permanent discontinuation Conclusions In patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC combining nivolumab with concurrent chemoradiation is feasible, without any unexpected safety signal The PFS observed for combining nivolumab with concomitant definitive chemoradiation as 1L therapy compares favourably to other studies in the same patient population Peters S, et al.
