Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK) rearrangements are considered mutually exclusive in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAC). However, sporadic cases harboring concomitant EGFR and ALK alterations have been increasingly reported. There is no consensus opinion regarding the treatment of patients positive for both molecular alterations. NSCLC with EGFR/ ALK coalterations should be separated into two subtypes: unifocal and multifocal LUAC. Here, we present an overview of the available literature regarding this rare group of patients to provide useful suggestions for therapeutic strategies.

e20588 Background: Transformation from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the resistance mechanism of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, the clinical course of transformed SCLC and the difference of genomic profiling between de novo SCLC patients and transformed SCLC patients are still poorly characterized. Methods: Patients from our hospital diagnosed with SCLC were enrolled retrospectively in this study, including de novo SCLC patients and SCLC patients transformed from EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinomas. Genomic profiling was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples by next generation sequencing (NGS). In statistical analysis, fisher ‘exact test was used. All tests were bilateral, with P<0.05 indicating significant statistical difference. Results: In total, 16 patients with SCLC transformed from EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinomas and 230 de novo SCLC patients were included in our study. Transformed SCLC patients were more in younger (p=0.007), female (p<0.001) and non-smokers (p<0.001) than de novo SCLC patients. In transformed SCLC patients, 12 patients (75%) occurred SCLC transformation within 2 years after the lung adenocarcinomas diagnosis. Median transformation time was 20 months. During the treatment of adenocarcinomas, the overall response rate (ORR) was 75% and the median progression-free survival was 12 months. After the initiation of SCLC therapy, the ORR of 1st line chemotherapy was 40%. For the genomic profiling, EGFR mutations, including exon 19 deletion (56%), L858R (38%), and others (6%), were detected. 11 patients with acquired resistance were received EGFR T790M test, 82% of patients had acquired EGFR T790M mutation. 11 patients after transformation to SCLC had NGS test, 100% maintained their founder EGFR mutation, and other recurrent mutations included TP53, RB1 and EGFR amplification. Compared with the genetic alterations in de novo SCLC patients, TP53 mutations were significantly decreased (p=0.006) while EGFR mutations were significantly elevated (p<0.001) in transformed SCLC patients. However, no significant difference on RB1, ALK and ROS1 mutations were observed. Interestingly, a 60-year-old woman in our transformed SCLC cohort harbored EGFR 19 del mutant at allele frequency of 50.39%,she received osimertinib plus epirubicin/cyclophosphamide as 1st line treatment and reached partial response, with survival of 4 years to date. Conclusions: We demonstrated the clinical and genetic characteristics of EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma transformed SCLC and found one patient still benefited from EGFR-TKI. Our study suggested that SCLC patients with EGFR mutation who transformed from lung adenocarcinoma may be potential benefit population using EGFR inhibitors.
