      193TiP - Phase 3 study of epacadostat plus pembrolizumab with or without platinum-based chemotherapy vs pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for first-line metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC): ECHO-306/KEYNOTE-715 (ID 415)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Presenting Author(s): M. Garassino

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Combination therapies targeting broad immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may prolong survival. Upregulation of the indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) enzyme within TME contributes to an immunosuppressive state responsible for tumor escape from immune surveillance. Epacadostat (E), a potent and selective inhibitor of IDO1, is under investigation in several tumor types. Pembrolizumab (P) is FDA-approved for NSCLC. In a phase 1/2 study, E + P showed minimal additive toxicity vs monotherapy and encouraging efficacy in NSCLC. The ECHO-306/KEYNOTE-715 global study compares the efficacy and safety of first-line E + P±chemotherapy vs P + chemotherapy in patients with mNSCLC.

      Trial design:
      Eligible patients: age ≥18, stage IV NSCLC (no EGFR-sensitizing mutation and ROS1/ALK translocations), ECOG PS ≤1, no prior systemic therapy for mNSCLC, and no prior IDO1 inhibitors or immune checkpoint therapies. Patients (∼1062) will be randomized 1:1:1 (E 100 mg oral BID + P 200 mg IV Q3W±platinum-based chemotherapy [nonsquamous: pemetrexed 500 mg/m[2] + cisplatin 75 mg/m[2] or carboplatin AUC 5 Q3W for 4 cycles followed by pemetrexed 500 mg/m[2] Q3W; squamous: paclitaxel 175–200 mg/m[2] + carboplatin AUC 5–6 Q3W for 4 cycles]; or E-matched placebo + P + chemotherapy) and stratified by tumor histology (squamous vs nonsquamous), PD-L1 status (tumor proportion score <50% vs ≥50%), ECOG PS (0 vs 1), and region (East Asia vs non-East Asia). Patients will receive treatment for ≤35 cycles of P or until disease progression (PD), intolerable toxicity, or investigator/patient decision to withdraw. Treatment may continue after initial radiographic PD in eligible patients. Patients may discontinue treatment after confirmed complete response. Primary endpoints: OS and PFS. Secondary endpoints: ORR per RECIST v1.1 (blinded central review; weeks 6, 12, 18, Q9W up to week 54 and Q12W thereafter), safety and tolerability, and E pharmacokinetics. Adverse events (AEs) will be monitored throughout the study and for 30 days (90 days for serious AEs) after end of treatment and graded per CTCAE v4.0.
