Histologic Distinctions in NSCLC Squamous: Squamous: –More central presentation –Higher incidence of locoregional recurrence –Decreased incidence of metastatic spread –Relatively more common in men, Eastern Europe, smokers –Declining incidence overall Adenocarcinoma: Adenocarcinoma: –More often peripheral –Higher incidence of metastatic spread –Less profound link with tobacco use –Increasing incidence; relatively more common in women

Press Release Aug 13, 2013 Necitumumab Improves Overall Survival in Lung Cancer Necitumumab Improves Overall Survival in Lung Cancer SQUIRE, a Phase 3 study met its primary endpoint, finding that patients with stage IV metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experienced increased overall survival (OS) when necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin was administered as first-line treatment compared to chemotherapy alone. Necitumumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to block the ligand binding site of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). SQUIRE, a Phase 3 study met its primary endpoint, finding that patients with stage IV metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experienced increased overall survival (OS) when necitumumab (IMC-11F8) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin was administered as first-line treatment compared to chemotherapy alone. Necitumumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to block the ligand binding site of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).non-small cell lung cancernon-small cell lung cancer SQUIRE enrolled 1093 patients with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed, stage IV squamous NSCLC, who had received no prior therapy for metastatic disease. 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. Patients in Arm A continued to receive necitumumab (IMC-11F8) 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
