MA26.03 - Activity of Osimertinib and the Selective RET Inhibitor BLU-667 in an EGFR-Mutant Patient with Acquired RET Rearrangement (ID 14731)
13:40 - 13:45 | Author(s): Lecia Sequist
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
The spectrum of acquired resistance (AR) to osimertinib is not yet fully characterized. We present a single-center cohort of osimertinib AR biopsies and results of a patient with RET-mediated AR treated with the investigational RET-specific TKI BLU-667 and osimertinib.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We assayed tissue via SNaPshot or Foundation One next-generation sequencing (NGS) and plasma via Guardant360 NGS under an IRB-approved protocol. In vitro studies assessed implications of RET fusions in EGFR-mutant cancers. We treated one patient with osimertinib/BLU-667 using an IRB and FDA-approved compassionate use protocol.

41 EGFR-mutant patients with AR to osimertinib were assessed histologically and queried by tissue NGS (n=22), plasma NGS (n=9) or both (n=10). Key AR findings: SCLC transformation (2/32 tissue); EGFR C797S (5/32 tissue, 5/19 plasma, all cis with T790M); MET amplification (7/32 tissue, 3/19 plasma); BRAF rearrangement (2/32 tissue) and CCDC6-RET rearrangement (1/32 tissue, 1/19 plasma [distinct case]).
CCDC6-RET was expressed in PC9 (EGFR del19) and MGH134 (EGFR L858R/T790M) cells, which maintained MAPK signaling and conferred resistance to osimertinib and afatinib. Inhibition of RET by BLU-667 or cabozantinib resensitized cells expressing CCDC6-RET to EGFR inhibition.
A 60-year-old woman with EGFR del19 progressed on afatinib (T790M+), then osimertinib. Tissue biopsy at osimertinib AR showed acquired CCDC6-RET (T790-wt). She began osimertinib 80mg/BLU-667 200mg daily x2 weeks, then BLU-667 was increased to 300mg daily. Her dyspnea improved within days of initiation. Scans after 8 weeks revealed a marked response with RECIST tumor shrinkage of 78% (Figure). She experienced only grade 1 toxicities of fatigue, leukopenia, hypertension, dry mouth, and elevated transaminases.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
RET rearrangements are rare but recurrent in EGFR-mutant patients with AR to osimertinib. In vivo models suggest they mediate AR and this patient provides proof-of-concept that combination EGFR+RET inhibition with osimertinib/BLU-667 is a well-tolerated and effective regimen for RET-mediated AR. Further study is ongoing.

P1.13-36 - Randomized Phase 2 Trial of Seribantumab in Combination with Erlotinib in Patients with EGFR Wild-Type Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 13960)
16:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Lecia Sequist
- Abstract
Background
Seribantumab (MM-121) is a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody that binds to human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3/ErbB3), to block heregulin (HRG/NRG)-mediated ErbB3 signaling and induce receptor downregulation. This open-label, randomized Phase 1/2 study evaluated safety and efficacy of seribantumab in combination with erlotinib in advanced NSCLC. Here, we report the activity of seribantumab in combination with erlotinib, versus erlotinib alone, in patients with EGFR wild-type tumors and describe the potential predictive power of HRG.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Patients with EGFR wild-type NSCLC were assigned randomly to receive seribantumab plus erlotinib or erlotinib alone. Patients underwent pre-treatment core needle biopsy, and archived tumor samples were collected to support pre-specified biomarker analyses.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
One hundred twenty-nine patients received seribantumab/erlotinib (n=85) or erlotinib alone (n=44). Median estimated PFS in the unselected ITT population was 8.1 and 7.7 weeks in the experimental and control arm, respectively (HR=0.822; 95% CI, 0.37 to 1.828; P=0.63). In patients whose tumors had detectable HRG mRNA expression, treatment benefit was observed in the seribantumab/erlotinib combination (HR=0.35; 95% CI, 0.16 to 0.76; P=0.008). In contrast, in patients whose tumors were HRG negative, the HR was 2.15 (95% CI, 0.97 to 4.76; P = 0.059).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
The addition of seribantumab to erlotinib did not result in improved PFS in unselected patients. However, pre-defined retrospective exploratory analyses suggest that detectable HRG mRNA levels identified patients who might benefit from seribantumab. An ongoing clinical trial is validating this finding in patients with advanced NSCLC and high HRG mRNA expression (NCT02387216).

P2.13-45 - SHERLOC: A Phase 2 Study of Seribantumab in Combination with Docetaxel in Patients with Heregulin Positive, Advanced NSCLC (ID 11349)
16:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Lecia Sequist
- Abstract
Background
HER3 and its ligand, heregulin (HRG), have been identified as a critical activator of PI3K and Akt signaling and a key pro-survival pathway in cancer cells. Seribantumab (MM-121) is a fully human, monoclonal IgG2 antibody that binds to the HRG domain of HER3, blocking HER3 activity. Preclinical data suggest that seribantumab reverses HRG-mediated drug resistance across multiple cancer models. In retrospective analyses of prior seribantumab Phase 2 studies, high levels of HRG mRNA appeared to predict poor outcome to standard of care (SOC) treatment. Addition of seribantumab to SOC appeared to improve progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with HRG positive (HRG+) tumors, consistent with the hypothesis that the blockade of HRG-induced HER3 signaling by seribantumab can restore drug sensitivity.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
In the current randomized, open-label, international, Phase 2 study, patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC histologically classified as adenocarcinoma are screened for HRG using an RNA in situ hybridization assay on a recent biopsy tissue sample. Approximately 100 HRG+ patients will be enrolled and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive seribantumab plus docetaxel (experimental treatment Arm), or docetaxel alone (control Arm). Eligible patients must have no EGFR and ALK mutations and have progressed following one to two SOC for locally advanced and/or metastatic disease, including platinum-based therapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy where available and clinically indicated. Primary trial endpoint is PFS. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response rate, time to progression, and pharmacokinetic profile. The study has ≥ 80% power to detect a 3-month improvement in median PFS over 3 months (hazard ratio ≤ 0.50), using a one-sided, stratified log-rank test at a significance level of 0.025. Study is ongoing and enrolling patients in seventy nine sites worldwide. Clinical trial information: NCT02387216
