DDR2

Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2): ECM/collagen signaling Stimulated by collagen as a ligand Downstream signaling in cancer cells is poorly understand May be via SRC and STAT signaling pathways. Similar to integrin receptors, DDR2 may play a role in modulating cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix

DDR2 mutations are sporadic and uncommon Hammerman et. al. Cancer Discovery 2012 Sanger sequencing of 290 SQCLC resections uncovered 11 mutations in DDR2 (3.8%) No hotspots DDR2 mutations

Patients were randomized to receive first-line necitumumab plus chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine and cisplatin in study Arm A, or gemcitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy alone in study Arm B. Patients underwent radiographic assessment of disease status (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) every six weeks (+/- 3 days), until radiographic documentation of progressive disease (PD). Chemotherapy continued for a maximum of six cycles in each arm or until there was radiographic documentation of PD, toxicity requiring cessation, or withdrawal of consent.

CONCLUSIONS

Perspectives on First-line Tx wrt Histology Based on E4599 and Scagliotti trials, use of Pemetrexed and Bevacizumab is limited to NON-squamous histology Based on E4599 and Scagliotti trials, use of Pemetrexed and Bevacizumab is limited to NON-squamous histology Standard cytotoxic platform for Adenoca: Standard cytotoxic platform for Adenoca: –platinum plus either pemetrexed or taxane Standard platform for Squamous cell ca: Standard platform for Squamous cell ca: –platinum plus either gemcitabine or taxane

Histologic Distinctions in the Tx of NSCLC: Conclusions II Prognosis is generally inferior in squamous vs non-sq NSCLC Prognosis is generally inferior in squamous vs non-sq NSCLC Gemcitabine appears superior to pemetrexed in the 1 st line setting in squamous NSCLC [in combination with cisplatin], while pemetrexed appears superior in non-squamous cell ca Gemcitabine appears superior to pemetrexed in the 1 st line setting in squamous NSCLC [in combination with cisplatin], while pemetrexed appears superior in non-squamous cell ca Docetaxel appears superior to pemetrexed in the 2 nd line setting in squamous cell ca, whereas pemetrexed appears superior in adenoca Docetaxel appears superior to pemetrexed in the 2 nd line setting in squamous cell ca, whereas pemetrexed appears superior in adenoca C225’s survival advantage is independent of histology C225’s survival advantage is independent of histology Though squamous ca pts fared worse overall, EGFR TKIs still conferred a survival advantage In both squamous and adenocarcinoma in the 2 nd /3 rd line setting Though squamous ca pts fared worse overall, EGFR TKIs still conferred a survival advantage In both squamous and adenocarcinoma in the 2 nd /3 rd line setting Necitumumab in combination with gem/plat is “superior” to chemo alone Necitumumab in combination with gem/plat is “superior” to chemo alone The role of PARP inhibitors, Iplilumumab, and PD1 in squamous NSCLC is uncertain The role of PARP inhibitors, Iplilumumab, and PD1 in squamous NSCLC is uncertain Actionable molecular markers may be emerging, but it remains to be seen whether FGFR inhibitors or agents targeting PTEN mutation or deletion, Death receptors or PI3K will prove efficacious Actionable molecular markers may be emerging, but it remains to be seen whether FGFR inhibitors or agents targeting PTEN mutation or deletion, Death receptors or PI3K will prove efficacious
