      Background:
      Lung-MAP (S1400), is a master protocol that incorporates genomic testing of tumors through a next generation sequencing (NGS) platform (Foundation Medicine) and biomarker-driven (matched) therapies for patients with squamous cell lung cancer (SCCA) after progression on first-line chemotherapy.

      Methods:
      The Lung-MAP trial, activated June 16, 2014, includes 3 matched- and 1 non-match study. Matched studies include: S1400B evaluating taselisib, a PI3K inhibitor, S1400C evaluating palbociclib, a CDK 4/6 inhibitor and, S1400D evaluating AZD4547, an FGFR inhibitor. The non-match study S1400I tests nivolumab + ipilimumab vs. nivolumab. Two studies have closed: S1400E evaluating rilotumumab an HGF monoclonal antibody + erlotinib closed 11/26/2014 and S1400A evaluating MEDI4736 in non-match pts, closed 12/18/2015.

      Results:
      From June 16, 2014 to June 15, 2016, 812 pts were screened and 292 pts registered to a study: 116 to S1400A, 27 to S1400B, 53 to S1400C, 32 to S1400D, 9 to S1400E and 55 to S1400I. Demographics: Screening was successful for 705 (87%) of screened eligible pts. Median age 67 (range 35-92); male 68%; ECOG PS 0-1 88%, PS 2 10%; Caucasian 85%, Black 9%, other 5%; never/former/current smokers 4%/58%/36%. Table 1 displays biomarker prevalence; 39% of pts matched; 33.9%, 4.8%, and 0.3% with 1, 2, and all 3 biomarkers, respectively. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) was available for 636 (90.4%) of eligible pts. The distribution of TMB is: 126 (19.8%) low (≤5 mutations Mb), 415 (65.1%) intermediate (6-19 mutations/Mb), and 96 (15.1%) high (≥20 mutations/Mb). The median TMB was 10.1.

      Conclusion:
      Genomic screening is feasible as part of this master protocol designed to expedite drug registration, confirm anticipated prevalence of targeted alterations in SCCA and reveal intermediate or high TMB in most (80.2%) pts. Treatment results are not yet available as patients continue to accrue. Clinical trial information: NCT02154490

      OA08.06 - Brigatinib Activity in Patients with ALK+ NSCLC and Intracranial CNS Metastases in Two Clinical Trials (ID 4374)

      16:00 - 17:30  |  Author(s): L. Bazhenova

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Patients treated with crizotinib often experience disease progression in the brain. Brigatinib, an investigational next-generation ALK inhibitor, is being evaluated in an ongoing phase 1/2 trial (Ph1/2) and an ongoing pivotal phase 2 trial (ALTA).

      Methods:
      In Ph1/2, patients with advanced malignancies, including ALK+ NSCLC, received 30–300 mg brigatinib per day. In ALTA, patients with crizotinib-resistant advanced ALK+ NSCLC received 90 mg qd (arm A) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B). Efficacy (in both trials) and safety (in ALTA) are reported for ALK+ NSCLC patients with brain metastases at baseline.

      Results:
      In Ph1/2 and ALTA, 50/79 (63%; IRC-assessed) and 154/222 (69%; investigator-assessed) of ALK+ NSCLC patients, respectively, had baseline brain metastases. In Ph1/2 (n=50), median age was 53 years, 76% received prior chemotherapy, and 8% were crizotinib-naive. In ALTA (n=154), median age was 52 years; 75% received prior chemotherapy. As of November 16, 2015, 25/50 (50%) patients were receiving brigatinib in Ph1/2; as of February 29, 2016, 101/154 (66%) patients were receiving brigatinib in ALTA. For patients with measurable lesions, confirmed iORR was 53% in Ph1/2 and 42%/67% in ALTA A/B (Table). Among patients with only nonmeasurable lesions (Ph1/2, n=31; ALTA A/B, n=54/n=55), 35% had confirmed complete resolution of lesions in Ph1/2; 7%/18% had confirmed complete resolution in ALTA A/B. For all evaluable patients with baseline brain metastases, median intracranial PFS was 15.6 months in Ph1/2 (n=46) and 15.6/12.8 months in ALTA A/B (n=80/n=73). Most common treatment-emergent adverse events in ALTA in patients with baseline brain metastases (n=151 treated): nausea (A/B, 32%/43%), headache (30%/30%), diarrhea (18%/36%), cough (21%/30%), vomiting (25%/26%); grade ≥3 (excluding neoplasm progression): increased blood CPK (1%/11%), hypertension (4%/7%), increased lipase (3%/3%), pneumonia (1%/4%).

      Conclusion:
      Brigatinib has demonstrated substantial clinical activity in ALK+ NSCLC patients with brain metastases in both Ph1/2 and ALTA.

      P2.06-001 - A Study of MGCD516, a Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) Inhibitor, in Molecularly Selected Patients with NSCLC or Other Advanced Solid Tumors (ID 4109)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): L. Bazhenova

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      MGCD516 (Sitravatinib), is an oral, potent small molecule inhibitor of a closely related spectrum of RTKs including RET, the split RTKs (VEGFR, PDGFR and KIT), TRK family, DDR2, MET and AXL. RTKs inhibited by sitravatinib are genetically altered in NSCLC and other cancers, where they function as oncogenic drivers, promoting cancer development and progression. Alterations in these RTKs have also been implicated in tumor resistance mechanisms. Sitravatinib has demonstrated antitumor activity in nonclinical cancer models harboring genetic alterations of sitravatinib targets, including rearrangement of RET, NTRK, or CHR4q12 amplification. Phase 1 dose escalation has been completed, showing dose proportional increases in exposure. PK and preliminary PD data indicate inhibition of the targets at the 150 mg dose administered orally once per day.

      Methods:
      This phase 1b study includes enrollment of molecularly selected patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic NSCLC or other advanced solid tumor malignancies in patient cohorts characterized by activating alterations in sitravatinib RTK targets (RET, KDR, PDGFRA, KIT, TRK, DDR2, MET, AXL) or by loss of function mutations in CBL, a negative regulator for MET, AXL and PDGFR/KIT signaling. Pts receive sitravatinib at 150 mg once daily in 21-day cycles. Study endpoints include safety and tolerability, PK/PD, and clinical activity assessed by objective disease response per RECIST 1.1, duration of response and survival. A two stage optimal Simon design of up to 24 pts (8 pts in first stage and 16 pts in second stage) will be applied to those cohorts defined by a specific tumor gene alteration assuming p~0~=0.15 and p~1~=0.35, with an additional expansion of a cohort up to a total of 70 pts in order to provide a more precise estimate of ORR. PD biomarkers, including sMET, sVEGFR2, VEGFA and sAXL, are being explored in plasma samples for prognostic potential and possible relationship with clinical outcome. The study is open for enrollment, and recruitment is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02219711

      P2.06-017 - Amethyst NSCLC Trial: Phase 2 Study of MGCD265 in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC with Activating Genetic Alterations in MET (ID 5384)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): L. Bazhenova

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      MGCD265 is a potent, orally available, small molecule RTK inhibitor of MET and Axl, both of which mediate signals for cell growth, survival, and migration. The Amethyst NSCLC trial is designed to evaluate the activity of MGCD265 in patients with NSCLC exhibiting genetic alterations involving MET. Alterations in MET, including gene amplification and/or genetic mutations, occur in approximately 7% of NSCLC cases converting MET to an oncogene capable of driving cancer development and progression. Amplification of MET has been associated with a poor prognosis in NSCLC. In addition, various genetic mutations result in the deletion of exon 14 in MET mRNA (METex14del) and the subsequent loss of the Y1003 regulatory binding site for CBL ubiquitin ligase, required for MET degradation and signal attenuation. Loss of the Y1003 binding site of MET results in sustained MET signaling, which has been implicated as an oncogenic driver in a subset of NSCLC. The importance of MET as a driver is demonstrated in xenograft models of NSCLC with METex14del and MET amplification, and where MGCD265 induces tumor regression. Additionally, confirmed partial responses have been observed in pts with NSCLC characterized by METex14del who were treated with MGCD265 in the Phase 1 setting.

      Methods:
      Pts with platinum pre-treated NSCLC characterized by activating genetic MET alterations identified in tumor tissue or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are eligible for this multi-center, global, Phase 2 trial. Pts are assigned to one of four cohorts based on the type of MET dysregulation and detection method: 1) mutations in tissue, 2) amplification in tissue, 3) mutations in ctDNA, and 4) amplification in ctDNA. The primary endpoint is Objective Response Rate (ORR) in accordance with RECIST 1.1; a Bayesian Predictive Probability Design is applied independently to each cohort. Secondary objectives include safety, tolerability, response duration, survival, correlation between tissue and ctDNA testing, and PK/PD. This study is currently open globally, and recruitment is ongoing.
