OA 05.05 - Brigatinib in Crizotinib-Refractory ALK+ NSCLC: Updated Efficacy and Safety Results From ALTA, a Randomized Phase 2 Trial (ID 8027)
15:45 - 17:30 | Author(s): Maximilian Johannes Hochmair

- Presentation
Background:
Brigatinib, a next-generation ALK inhibitor, recently received accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of patients with metastatic ALK+ NSCLC who have progressed on or are intolerant to crizotinib. We report updated data from the randomized phase 2 trial (ALTA; NCT02094573), which was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of 2 brigatinib regimens in patients with crizotinib-refractory, advanced ALK+ NSCLC.
Method:
Patients were stratified by presence of brain metastases at baseline and best response to prior crizotinib and randomized 1:1 to receive brigatinib at 90 mg qd (arm A) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B). Investigator-assessed confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 was the primary endpoint.
Result:
Among 222 patients (n=112/n=110, arm A/B), median age was 51/57 years; 71%/67% had brain metastases. As of February 21, 2017, 17 full months since the last patient enrolled, median follow-up was 16.8/18.6 months and 32%/41% of patients continued to receive brigatinib in A/B. The table shows brigatinib efficacy. Per independent review committee, confirmed ORR was 51%/55% and median PFS was 9.2/16.7 months in A/B. Among patients with measurable baseline brain metastases (n=26/n=18, A/B), confirmed intracranial ORR was 50%/67% as of January 24, 2017; median intracranial DoR was not reached/16.6 months. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were: nausea (38%/47%, A/B), diarrhea (28%/44%), cough (28%/40%), headache (30%/35%), and vomiting (36%/30%); the most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were: increased creatine phosphokinase (5%/13%), hypertension (6%/8%), pneumonia (4%/5%), and increased lipase (5%/4%). Dose reduction (9%/30%, A/B) or discontinuation (4%/11%) due to TEAEs was reported.
Conclusion:
In ALTA, brigatinib continues to show substantial efficacy and acceptable safety at both dose levels, with numerically longer PFS and higher intracranial ORR at the recommended dosing regimen of 180 mg qd (with lead-in) vs 90 mg qd.Investigator Assessment Independent Review[a] Arm A (n=112) Arm B (n=110) Arm A (n=112) Arm B (n=110) Confirmed ORR, % 46 (35–57[b]) 55 (44–66[b]) 51 (41–61[c]) 55 (45–64[c]) Median DoR in responders,[d] months 12.0 (9.2–17.7[c]) 13.8 (10.2–17.5[c]) 13.8 (7.4–NR[c]) 14.8 (12.6–NR[c]) Median PFS,[d] months [% of events] 9.2 (7.4–11.1[c]) [65] 15.6 (11.1–19.4[c]) [50] 9.2 (7.4–12.8[c]) [54] 16.7 (11.6–NR[c]) [41] Median OS,[d] months [% of events] NR (20.2–NR[c]) [38] 27.6 (27.6–NR[c]) [29] — — 1-year OS probability,[d ]% 70 (61–78[c]) 80 (71–87[c]) — — DoR, duration of response NR, not reached OS, overall survival PFS, progression-free survival [a]Last scan date: February 28, 2017 [b]97.5% CI for primary endpoint [c]95% CI [d]Kaplan-Meier estimate

P1.01-001 - Depth of Target Lesion Response to Brigatinib and Its Association With Outcomes in Patients With ALK+ NSCLC in the ALTA Trial (ID 8035)
09:30 - 16:00 | Author(s): Maximilian Johannes Hochmair
- Abstract
Background:
Depth of target lesion response to crizotinib has been associated with overall survival (OS) (J Clin Oncol 2016;34:abstract 2590). ALTA (NCT02094573) is an ongoing randomized phase 2 trial of brigatinib, an ALK inhibitor, in crizotinib-refractory advanced ALK+ NSCLC patients. As the ALTA primary endpoint of confirmed objective response rate (cORR), a binary outcome, might not fully capture clinical benefit, we examined the association of maximum decrease in target lesions with progression-free survival (PFS) and OS.
Method:
Patients were randomized to receive brigatinib at 90 mg qd (arm A; n=112) or 180 mg qd with a 7-day lead-in at 90 mg (arm B; n=110). Arms were pooled in this analysis. Patients with any target lesion shrinkage were sorted into 4 groups based on greatest decrease from baseline per RECIST v1.1; outcomes in these groups were compared with outcomes in patients with no shrinkage.
Result:
As of February 21, 2017, cORR in arm A/B (ITT population) was 46%/55% per investigators. 201/222 patients had ≥1 evaluable response assessment with 18.4-month median follow-up. Median age of these patients was 53 years; 57% were female. Patients with target lesion shrinkage (vs none) had numerically longer PFS (hazard ratios [95% CIs]: 0.61 [0.30–1.22], 1%–25% shrinkage; 0.47 [0.24–0.91], 26%–50%; 0.54 [0.28–1.05], 51%–75%; 0.30 [0.15–0.63], 76%–100%) and numerically higher estimated 1-year OS (Table). In a multivariable analysis, 76%–100% shrinkage (vs none) was independently associated with longer PFS/OS (hazard ratios [95% CIs]: 0.37 [0.18–0.76]/0.35 [0.14–0.89]); arm B (vs A) was independently associated with longer PFS.
Conclusion:
In this exploratory post hoc analysis, brigatinib-treated patients with target lesion shrinkage, including those without confirmed partial response, had improved PFS/OS vs patients without shrinkage. Patients with the deepest response (76%–100% shrinkage) appeared to have the longest PFS and higher estimated 1-year OS.Best Target Lesion Shrinkage n (%)[a] Median PFS,[b,c] Months (95% CI) Median OS,[b ]Months (95% CI) 1-year OS,[b ]% (95% CI) None 18 (9) 3.7 (1.9–11.0) 8.3 (4.7–NR) 48 (22–99) 1%–25% 40 (20) 9.3 (4.0–21.2) NR (14.5–NR) 75 (58–99) 26%–50% 60 (30) 12.8 (9.2–15.7) NR (NR–NR) 82 (70–99) 51%–75% 44 (22) 11.1 (7.4–18.2) 27.6 (20.2–NR) 77 (62–99) 76%–100% 39 (19) 19.5 (12.6–NR) NR (22.3–NR) 92 (78–99) NR, not reached [a]Evaluable patients [b]Kaplan-Meier estimate [c]Per investigator

P2.03-025 - Prevalence of EGFR T790M Mutation in NSCLC Patients after Afatinib Failure, and Subsequent Response to Osimertinib (ID 8797)
09:30 - 16:00 | Presenting Author(s): Maximilian Johannes Hochmair
- Abstract
Background:
In patients with EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), progression inevitably occurs after 9 to 14 months of treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). EGFR T790M mutations have been identified as the most common mechanism of acquired resistance. Analyses assessing the frequency of acquired T790M mutations have mainly been conducted in patients receiving the first-generation EGFR TKIs erlotinib and gefitinib, however limited data is available on the prevalence of this mutation after failure of the ErbB family blocker afatinib. This retrospective analysis aimed at determining the prevalence of EGFR T790M mutation in patients who had benefitted from afatinib therapy, but ultimately developed progression. Another objective was the assessment of response to the subsequent treatment with the third-generation EGFR TKI osimertinib, which is the treatment of choice for patients who have developed T790M mutations.
Method:
The analysis included consecutive patients with stage IV adenocarcinoma of the lung and sensitizing EGFR mutations who had progressed on first-, second- or third-line afatinib treatment after experiencing at least 3 months of disease stabilization. Mutation status was assessed using liquid biopsy or both liquid biopsy and tissue re-biopsy. Patients with confirmed T790M mutation received osimertinib.
Result:
T790M mutations were found in 27 of 48 patients, corresponding to a prevalence rate of 56.3%. The concordance rate between liquid biopsy and re-biopsy was 80%. In the total cohort, the objective response rate (ORR) obtained with afatinib was 89.6%, and in the patients who developed T790M mutation, 92.6%. Complete responses (CR) occurred in 25.0% and 37.0%, respectively, and partial responses (PR) in 64.6% and 55.6%, respectively. In the patients who received osimertinib after the discovery of T790M mutations, ORR was 81.5%, with CR and PR rates of 22.2% and 59.3%, respectively.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of acquired T790M mutations as assessed in this cohort was consistent with the mutation rates reported for patients who progressed on first-generation EGFR TKI treatment. T790M mutation appears to be the main mechanisms of acquired resistance to afatinib. The development of this mutation was not affected by any baseline characteristics. These real-world data confirm that for patients with advanced, EGFR-positive NSCLC who progressed on afatinib and developed T790M mutations, osimertinib therapy elicited excellent response rates, with a substantial proportion of patients achieving complete remissions.

P2.04-005 - GEOMETRY Mono-1: Phase II, Multicenter Study of MET Inhibitor Capmatinib (INC280) in EGFR Wt, MET-Dysregulated Advanced NSCLC (ID 8961)
09:30 - 16:00 | Author(s): Maximilian Johannes Hochmair
- Abstract
Background:
Amplification of MET leading to oncogenic signaling occurs in 3‒5% of newly diagnosed EGFR wild type (wt) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases with decreasing incidence at higher levels of amplification. Mutations in MET leading to exon 14 deletion (METΔ[ex14]) also occur in 2–4% of adenocarcinoma and 1–2% of other NSCLC subsets. Capmatinib (INC280) is a potent and selective MET inhibitor that has shown strong evidence of antitumor activity in a phase I study in patients with EGFR wt advanced NSCLC harboring MET amplification and METΔ[ex14].
Method:
This phase II, multicenter study (NCT02414139) was designed to confirm the clinical activity of capmatinib in patients with advanced NSCLC by MET amplification and METΔ[ex14] status. Eligible patients (≥18 years of age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0–1) must have ALK-negative, EGFR wt, stage IIIB/IV NSCLC (any histology). Centrally assessed MET amplification (gene copy number [GCN]) and mutation status is used to assign patients to one of the below cohorts: Pretreated with 1–2 prior systemic lines of therapy for advanced setting (cohorts 1–4): 1a: MET amplification GCN ≥10 (n=69) 1b: MET amplification GCN ≥6 and <10 (n=69) 2: MET amplification GCN ≥4 and <6 (n=69) 3: MET amplification GCN <4 (n=69) 4: METΔ[ex14] mutation regardless of MET GCN (n=69) Treatment naïve (cohorts 5a and 5b): 5a: MET amplification GCN ≥10 and no METΔ[ex14] mutation (n=27) 5b: METΔ[ex14] mutation regardless of MET GCN (n=27) Capmatinib 400 mg tablets are orally administered twice daily on a continuous dosing schedule 12 hours apart. Primary and key secondary endpoints are overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), respectively (blinded independent review assessment). Other secondary endpoints include investigator-assessed ORR, DOR, time to response, disease control rate, progression-free survival (independent and investigator assessment), safety, and pharmacokinetics. Enrollment is ongoing in 25 countries. Cohorts 1b, 2, and 3 are now closed to enrollment; cohorts 1a and 4 continue to enroll patients who have received 1–2 prior lines of therapy in the advanced setting, and cohorts 5a and 5b are open for enrollment of treatment-naïve patients. Responses have been seen in both MET-amplified and MET-mutated patients irrespective of the line of therapy.

P3.03-024 - Real-Life Experience and Clinical Characterization of BRAF V600E Mutation in Austrian NSCLC Patients (ID 10113)
09:30 - 16:00 | Presenting Author(s): Maximilian Johannes Hochmair
- Abstract
Background:
Targeted therapy is becoming increasingly important and has improved the overall survival for patients with NSCLC. BRAF[V600E] mutations (Val600Glu) are observed in 1-2% of lung cancer and play a major role in targeted therapy by providing an opportunity for affected patients as possible allocable target. In Austria an effective therapy is available with Dabrafenib and Trametinib. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to support ongoing research on the frequency of this promising genetic alteration by determining the prevalence of BRAF[V600E] mutations among Austrian NSCLC patients. We also examined clinical characteristics of these patients.
Method:
Patient characteristics including age, sex, race, smoking history and localization of biopsy were collected. Tumor tissue from bronchoscopy, CT- and ultrasound guided biopsies as well as surgical specimen with histological type of adenocarcinoma and NSCLC NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) excluding large cell carcinoma and neuroendocrine carcinoma was reflex tested independent of the tumor stage and clinical characteristics (like sex, smoking history, demography) for BRAF mutations. The BRAF mutation detection was performed since February 2017 with the BRAF/NRAS Mutation Test Kit from Roche on a COBAS[®] z 4800 Analyzer.
Result:
BRAF alterations were found in 11 of 118 tested patients (9.3%), of which 7 patients (5.9 %) showed a BRAF[V600E] positive mutation. Out of these patients with BRAF[V600E] positive mutation, 4 were women and 3 men. 3 patients were Never-Smoker, 2 were former smokers and 2 smokers. Biopsies in 5 patients were taken from the primary tumor, in 1 patient from the lymph nodes and in 1 patient the analysis was performed by drainage of pleura effusions. Median age was 69 years. All patients were Caucasian.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of BRAF[V600E] mutation in this real-world data, assessed in a cohort of 118 people, was higher than BRAF[V600E] mutation rates previously reported by other published data, and thus underline the importance of reflex testing for this druggable target independent of clinical characteristics.
