      Background:
      S49076 is a potent ATP-competitive TKI that targets MET, AXL and FGFR1/2/3 at clinically relevant doses. Preclinical data showed that combination of S49076 with 1[st] generation EGFR-TKI can overcome acquired resistance to EGFR inhibition in a NSCLC EGFR-mutated MET-amplified cell model. Here we report interim phase I data from NSCLC patients treated with S49076 in combination with gefitinib to overcome acquired non-EGFR-T790M-mediated resistance to EGFR TKI (1[st]/2[nd] generation).

      Method:
      This is a phase I dose-finding study of S49076 combination with a standard dose of gefitinib using a modified Bayesian Continual Reassessment Method with S49076 doses of 500 and 600mg. Both agents are administered orally once daily. The primary objective is to determine the safety profile of the combination and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) based on safety assessments. Patients are selected according to tumor status; they carried an activating-EGFR mutation without secondary T790M mutation and with at least one of the following dysregulations: MET IHC3+, MET FISH 2+/3+, or AXL IHC 2+/3+.

      Result:
      In June 2017, molecular screening was performed in 48 EGFR/T790M-negative tumor samples to assess MET and AXL dysregulation. 17/48 met the molecular eligibility criteria: 12/17 with MET overexpression/amplification; 4/17 with both MET overexpression/amplification and AXL overexpression; and 1/17 with AXL overexpression. As regards S49076 dose levels, 4 patients were included at 500 mg and 4 at 600 mg. Five patients discontinued treatment: 4 disease progression and 1 consent withdrawal. The most frequent related AEs (≥2 patients) were asthenia (n=5), diarrhea, nausea and paronychia (n=4 each), ASAT/ALAT increase, anemia, and yellow skin (n=3 each), peripheral edema, stomatitis, blood creatinine increase, vomiting, hypoalbuminemia, and decreased appetite (n=2 each); most were grade 1-2. A DLT occurred in 1 patient at 600mg (grade 3 stomatitis). The other severe related AEs included grade 3 ALAT increase, asthenia, and neutrophil count decrease. Concomitant intake of gefitinib did not appear to modify the S49076 PK profile as compared to previous data. The best overall response rate were partial response (PR, 1/8), stable disease (SD, 6/8), and progressive disease (1/8), including 3 patients with PR/SD ≥6 months.

      Conclusion:
      According to preliminary data, the frequency of MET and AXL dysregulations is consistent with the literature. Combination of S49076 and gefitinib is well tolerated and safety data are consistent with the overall safety profile of each drug. The phase II part of this study will start once the RP2D is defined to evaluate the anti-tumour activity of the combination.

      OA 05.03 - Clinical Activity of ASP8273 in Asian Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with EGFR Activating and T790M Mutations (ID 7889)

      15:45 - 17:30  |  Author(s): H. Murakami

      Background:
      Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations confer sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and occur in ~50% of East Asian patients with NSCLC. While initial TKI treatment can be effective, acquired resistance inevitably develops with a secondary mutation (T790M). ASP8273 is a highly specific, irreversible, once-daily, oral, EGFR TKI which inhibits both activating (eg, exon 19 deletions, L858R) and resistance (eg T790M) mutations.

      Method:
      This dose-escalation/dose-expansion study (NCT02192697) was conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, adult Japanese patients (≥20 yr) with NSCLC previously treated with ≥1 EGFR TKI were enrolled and received escalating ASP8273 doses (25–600mg) to assess safety/tolerability as well as to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In phase 2, adult T790M-positive NSCLC patients in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan were enrolled to further define the ASP8273 safety/tolerability profile at RP2D and determine antitumor activity (assessed using RECIST v1.1). Antitumor activity in phase 2 was evaluated according to Simon’s 2-stage design (uninteresting response=0.3, desired response=0.5, α=0.05, β=0.1). If ≥9 of 24 ASP8273-treated patients achieved a desired response in the first stage, then 39 additional patients would be enrolled. If ≥ 25 of the 63 total patients achieved response, ASP8273 would be considered to have antitumor effects.

      Result:
      A total of 123 patients (n=47 phase 1; n=76 phase 2) were enrolled. In both phases, more women were enrolled. The median age was 65 years in phase 1 and 63 years in phase 2. Based on phase 1 findings, MTD and RP2D were 400mg and 300mg, respectively. As 27 of the 63 patients treated with ASP8273 300mg in the first and second stages combined achieved a clinical response (based on independent central review), ASP8273 was determined to have antitumor activity (ORR=42.9%; 95% CI: 30.5–56.0). The ORR at week 24 in all patients in the full analysis set was 42.1% (n=32/76; 95% CI: 30.9, 54.0). The median duration of PFS (central review) was 8.1 months (95%CI: 5.6,--). The most commonly reported treatment-emergent AEs (TEAE) in phase 2 were diarrhea (n=50/76), nausea (n=31/76), increased alanine aminotransferase (n=27/76), decreased appetite and vomiting (n=26/76 each), and hyponatremia (n=25/76). Drug-related TEAEs were reported in 93.4% (n=71/76) of patients, the most common of which was diarrhea (n=43/76).

      Conclusion:
      ASP8273 was generally well tolerated and demonstrated antitumor activity in Asian patients with both EGFR activating and T790M mutations.

      OA 05.08 - Final Result of Phase I/II Study (AF-001JP) of Alectinib, a Selective CNS-Active ALK Inhibitor, in ALK+ NSCLC Patients (Pts) (ID 9732)

      Background:
      Alectinib (ALC) is a selective, CNS-active ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In two Phase 3 studies (J-ALEX and ALEX), ALC proved superior efficacy and tolerability compared to crizotinib (CRZ). Here we report the final efficacy and safety results of the 46 pts enrolled in the phase II part of study AF-001JP with a longer follow-up period than that observed in J-ALEX and ALEX studies.

      Method:
      ALC 300 mg b.i.d was given to ALK+ NSCLC pts who were ALK inhibitor-naive and had disease progression after at least one line of chemotherapy to investigate the efficacy and safety until the investigator confirmed no further clinical benefits.

      Result:
      This study was completed in December 2016. The median treatment duration was 46.1 months (range: 1-62). 20 of 46 pts were on treatment with alectinib at the study termination. Progressive disease (PD) was confirmed in 20 pts (43%). Median PFS was not reached and 4-year PFS rate was 52% (95% CI: 36-66). 14 of 46 pts had CNS metastasis at baseline. Median PFS was 38 months (95% CI: 9-NE) in pts with CNS metastases and was not reached in pts without CNS metastases. Four pts had CNS progression and the 4-year cumulative incidence rate of CNS progression was 9.5%. Median OS was not reached and the 4-year OS rate was 70% (95% CI: 54-81). Safety profile was similar to that reported previously and there were no treatment-related Grade 4 or 5 adverse events for this long administration period.

      Conclusion:
      Regardless of CNS metastases at baseline, ALC have demonstrated excellent efficacy in ALK+ NSCLC pts without prior ALK inhibitor treatment. ALC was well tolerated over a prolonged administration period.
