Personalized Therapy of Lung Cancer 2011 Winter Lung Cancer Conference Thomas J. Lynch, Jr., M.D. Jonathan and Richard Sackler Professor of Internal Medicine Director, Yale Cancer Center Physician-in-Chief, Smilow Cancer Hospital

Lung Cancer 2011 USA –190,000 cases of lung cancer –165,000 deaths –165,300 cases of NSCLC –115,000 cases of adenocarcinoma –28,500 cases of lung cancer in never smokers Global –1.4 million deaths from lung cancer NCI SEER Cancer Statistics, WHO Fact Sheet.

Cancer 2011 Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal genes that “drive” either excessive cell growth or inadequate cell destruction Imbalance of growth and death signals leads to growth of cancer cells into tumors Tumors then proceed to grow and metastasize Understanding which genes drive which cancers will provide a “roadmap” to curing cancer

Major Classes of Genomic Alterations that Give Rise to Cancer Point mutations Copy number alterations  Deletions  Amplifications Translocations  Examples: BCR-ABL, EML4, ALK MacConall LE and Garraway LA. J Clin Oncol 2010;28:

Sequist LV et al. J Clin Oncol 2008;26(15): First-Line Gefitinib in Patients with Advanced NSCLC Harboring Somatic EGFR Mutations Mutations detected in 34/98 patients who underwent direct DNA sequencing of tumor tissue EGFR exons 18 to 21 –In-frame deletions of bp, 53% –L858R, 26% –Atypical, 21% Objective response rate, 55% Median progression-free survival, 9.2 months

Resistance  There are 2 robustly described TKI-resistance mechanisms: T790M in EGFR and MET amplification  1 patient with both T790M and L858R had a best response of SD and remained on treatment for 55 days Source: Sequist LV et al. Proc ASCO Abstract 7504

T790M Gatekeeper mutation present in nearly 60% of acquired resistance Rare familial germline mutations found Detected at diagnosis in CTCs and circulating DNA in 30% of patients using highly sensitive methods Efforts to target T790M are emerging

T790M Irreversible Dual (EGFR, Her-2) kinases have not yet proven effective in this setting Novel T790M specific inhibitor (Nathanael Gray-DFCI) under development Combination therapy might hold best hope

Somatic Mutations Affect Key Pathways in Lung Adenocarcinoma Discovery of more than 1,000 somatic mutations after sequencing 623 genes with known or potential relationships to cancer Identified 26/623 genes that are mutated at a significantly high frequency –Most frequent: TP53, KRAS, STK11, EGFR –Less frequent: LRP1B, KDR, RB1, LTK, SLC38A3, NRAS Genetic alterations frequently occur in genes of the MAPK, p53, Wnt and mTOR pathways Ding L et al.
