    Abstract Mutations in BRAF are present in 4% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), of which half are well-characterized activating variants affecting codon 600 (classified as class I). These mutations, most commonly BRAF V600E, have been associated with response to BRAF/MEK-directed small molecule kinase inhibitors. NSCLC with kinase-activating BRAF mutations occurring at other codons (class II variants) represent a substantial portion of BRAF-mutated NSCLC, but use of targeted therapy in these tumors is still under investigation. Class II mutations have been described in other tumor types and have been associated with response to BRAF/MEK-targeted agents, although optimal treatment strategies for these patients are lacking. This report presents a case of a woman with metastatic NSCLC harboring a class II BRAF p.N486_P490del variant who had a sustained clinical response to combination therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib. This first report of the use of BRAF/MEK-targeted therapy for this variant in NSCLC supports consideration of such treatment for tumors with class II BRAF variants.

    Abstract Purpose: Early integration of palliative care (PC) with standard oncology care is driving the development of innovative PC delivery models.
    Methods: This was a single-institution retrospective study of outpatient PC before and after the opening of an embedded thoracic oncology-palliative clinic at The Ohio State University. Patients included in the preintervention (October 2017-July 2018) and postintervention (October 2018-July 2019) cohorts had a diagnosis of any non-small-cell lung cancer (stages I-IV) or small-cell lung cancer (limited or extensive stage) and were newly established in the thoracic medical oncology clinic during the study time periods. All patients in the preintervention cohort had access to outpatient PC through a freestanding clinic, while the postintervention cohort had access to both freestanding and embedded clinics. Using time-to-event analyses, we evaluated differences in time intervals from first medical oncology visit to PC referral and first PC visit between cohorts.
    Results: The majority of patients in both cohorts had metastatic disease at diagnosis. In the postintervention cohort, 20.9% of patients were referred to outpatient PC compared with 9.2% in the preintervention cohort (
    Conclusion: Implementation of an embedded PC model was associated with increased access to early PC among patients with thoracic malignancies.

    Abstract Purpose: Early palliative care (PC) with standard oncology care has demonstrated improved patient outcomes, but multiple care delivery models are utilized. This study prospectively evaluated the feasibility of an embedded PC clinic model and collected patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and caregiver needs.
    Methods: In this observational study of embedded outpatient PC for patients with advanced thoracic malignancies treated at The Ohio State University Thoracic Oncology clinic, patients received same-day coordinated oncology and palliative care visits at one clinic location. PC encounters included comprehensive symptom assessment and management, advanced care planning, and goals of care discussion. Multiple study assessments were utilized. We describe the feasibility of evaluating PROs and caregiver needs in an embedded PC model.
    Results: Forty patients and 28 caregivers were enrolled. PROs were collected at baseline and follow-up visits. Over a 12-month follow-up, 36 patients discontinued study participation due to hospice enrollment, death, study withdrawal, or COVID restrictions. At baseline, 32 patients (80%) rated distress as moderate-severe with clinically significant depression (44%) and anxiety (36%). Survey completion rates significantly decreased over time: 3 months (24 eligible, 66% completed), 6 months (17 eligible; 41% completed), 9 months (9 eligible; 44% completed), and 12 months (4 eligible; 50% completed).
    Conclusion: We found that an embedded PC clinic was feasible, although there were challenges encountered in longitudinal collection of PROs due to high study attrition. Ongoing assessment and expansion of this embedded PC model will continue to identify strengths and challenges to improve patient and caregiver outcomes.

    Abstract Epigenetic ("above genetics") modifications can alter the gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic regulations in cancer include DNA methylation, histone methylation, histone acetylation, non-coding RNA, and mRNA methylation. Epigenetic-targeted agents have demonstrated clinical activities in hematological malignancies and therapeutic potential in solid tumors. In this review, we describe mechanisms of various epigenetic modifications, discuss the Food and Drug Administration-approved epigenetic agents, and focus on the current clinical investigations of novel epigenetic monotherapies and combination therapies in solid tumors.

    Abstract Oncology and Palliative Medicine lack guidance on routine opioid risk screening and compliance monitoring. This study explored relationships among risk screening and aberrant medication related behaviors in patients with advanced lung cancer receiving embedded palliative care. This was a single center, prospective study and data was collected from December 2018 to March 2020. At the initial palliative visit, patients provided a baseline urine drug screen (UDS) test and completed the Screener and Opioid Assessment for Patients with Pain - Revised (SOAPP-R) self-assessment. Clinical pharmacists provided comprehensive review and interpretation of UDS results. Among 39 patients, 12 (30.8%) scored positive for risk of aberrant medication behaviors on the SOAPP-R. Only 34 of 39 patients provided a baseline UDS test and were included in further analysis. Prior to pharmacist review, 11/11 (100%) baseline UDS results in the positive-risk group and 13/23 (56.5%) in the negative-risk group appeared unexpected (

    Abstract Purpose: Primary tumor failure is common in patients treated with chemoradiation (CRT) for locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC). Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) yields high rates of primary tumor control (PTC) in early-stage NSCLC. This trial tested an SBRT boost to the primary tumor before the start of CRT to improve PTC.
    Methods and materials: Patients with LA-NSCLC received an SBRT boost in 2 fractions (central location 12 Gy, peripheral location 16 Gy) to the primary tumor, followed by standard CRT (60 Gy in 30 fractions). The primary objective was PTC rate at 1 year, and the hypothesis was that the 1-year PTC rate would be ≥90%. Secondary objectives included objective response rate, regional and distant control, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). Correlative studies included functional magnetic resonance imaging and blood-based miRNA analysis.
    Results: The study enrolled 21 patients (10 men and 11 women); the median age was 62 years (range, 52-78). The median pretreatment primary tumor size was 5.0 cm (range, 1.0-8.3). The most common nonhematologic toxicities were pneumonitis, fatigue, esophagitis/dysphagia, dyspnea, and cough. Only 1 treatment-related grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity occurred (respiratory failure/radiation pneumonitis), and no grade 5 toxicities occurred. The objective response rate at 3 and 6 months was 72.7% and 80.0%, respectively, and PTC at 1 and 2 years was 100% and 92.3%, respectively. The 2-year regional and distant control rates were 81.6% and 70.3%, respectively. Disease-free survival and overall survival at 2 years were 46.1% and 50.3%, respectively, and median survival was 37.8 months. Functional magnetic resonance imaging detected a mean relative decrease in blood oxygenation level-dependent signal of -87.1% (P = .05), and miR.142.3p was correlated with increased risk of grade ≥3 pulmonary toxicity (P = .01).
    Conclusions: Dose escalation to the primary tumor using upfront SBRT appears feasible and safe. PTC was high and other oncologic endpoints compared favorably to standard treatment. Functional magnetic resonance imaging suggested changes in oxygenation with the first SBRT boost dose, and miR.142.3p was correlated with pulmonary toxicity.

    Abstract Background: Brigatinib, a second generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is central nervous system (CNS) penetrant and active against anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) resistance mutations. We prospectively studied the activity of brigatinib in patients with disease progression after second generation ALK TKIs.
    Methods: Patients with stage IIIB/IV ALK + non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and progressive disease after second ALK TKIs were eligible. Cohort A enrolled patients with disease progression on any second ALK TKI, cohort B enrolled patients with disease progression after first-line therapy with alectinib, and cohort C enrolled patients who experienced disease progression on standard dose brigatinib. Brigatinib treatment was 90 mg daily for seven days and then escalated to 180 mg daily in cohorts A and B, and 240 mg daily in cohort C. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and a 2-stage design was used. The intended enrollment was 20 patients in stage 1, and 20 patients in stage 2.
    Results: The study was closed due to slow accrual. Between March 2017 and June 2020, 32 patients received study therapy; three patients in cohort A moved to cohort C after initial progression for a total of 35 study subjects. Of the 32 patients, 16 (50%) were male, the median age was 55 years (range 32-76), and patients received a median number of 2 prior ALK TKI's (range 1-3). Cohort A enrolled 27 patients, cohort B enrolled four patients, and cohort C enrolled four patients. The ORR in cohorts A, B, and C was 33% (95% confidence interval (CI: 16% to 54%), 25% (95% CI: 0.63% to 81%), and 0%, respectively.
    Conclusion: Brigatinib has activity in ALK positive NSCLC patients with disease progression after second generation ALK TKIs.
