- Presentation
Background
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy, before or after surgery, provides only a 5% benefit in 5yr. OS in resectable NSCLC. A 20 patient study (NEJM April 2018) showed that preoperative immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy yielded a clinically meaningful major pathologic response rate (MPR ≤10% residual viable tumor cells) and did not delay or complicate surgery. This large multicenter trial measures MPR and biomarkers of benefit using neoadjuvant atezolizumab (atezo) [NCT02927301].
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We planned 2 cycles of atezo (1200mg, days 1, 22) in patients with stages IB -selected IIIB resectable NSCLC prior to surgical resection (day 40 +/- 10). Chest CT, PET were planned pre-atezo and presurgery to assess response. Primary tumor +/- node biopsies and blood samples were obtained before atezo and presurgery for biomarker studies. The primary endpoint was MPR. Secondary endpoints included safety, response by PD-L1, OS, and DFS.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
For this updated efficacy and safety analysis (Feb’18 datacut), we report first 54 of 180 planned pts: 29 males, median age 65 yr, all ECOG 0-1; 17 current, 33 former smokers; 35 non-squamous NSCLC; clinical stages Ib/IIa/IIb/IIIa/IIIb = 5/11/13/20/5. Two pts received one dose of atezo due to treatment related AE (Gr 1 pyrexia, Gr 2 dyspnea) but underwent uncomplicated resection with MPR assessment. There was 1 unrelated Gr 5 AE (sudden cardiac death post surgical resection), 16 Gr 3-4 AEs (3 treatment related). Surgery was delayed in 1 pt due to Gr3 pneumonitis. By RECIST, 3 pts had PR, and 49 had SD. 50 pts underwent surgery and 47 pts had MPR assessment: 2 pts discontinued study preop due to radiographic PD and 2 discontinued due to other reasons; 3 pts had unresectable disease. MPR rate was 10/50 (20%, 95% CI 10-34%) including 3 pts who had pCR (no viable tumor cells) in the primary tumor. Excluding 5 pts who had known driver mutations (4 EGFR+, 1 ALK+), MPR rate was 10/45 (22%, 95% CI 11-37%). PD-L1 status was evaluable in 44/54 pts; 8/10 pts with MPR had PD-L1+ status and 2 had unknown PD-L1 status; 8/28 PDL-1 (+) patients had MPR (29%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
In a multicenter study, neoadjuvant atezo was well tolerated. MPR rate is encouraging. Clinical and pathological responses are often discordant. Correlative analyses on pre- and post atezo tissues are ongoing. Preliminary correlative analyses in blood samples are included in a separate abstract.

OA02.05 - CK-101 (RX518), a Third Generation Mutant-Selective Inhibitor of EGFR in NSCLC: Results of an Ongoing Phase I/II Trial (ID 11982)
11:15 - 11:25 | Author(s): Saiama N. Waqar
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
CK-101 (also known as RX518) is a novel, oral, third-generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI-sensitizing and resistance mutations, with minimal activity on wild-type EGFR. CK-101 is being studied in an ongoing first-in-human, multicenter, Phase I/II trial in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) with EGFR mutations and other advanced malignancies in the US, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand (NCT02926768). Following dose escalation in which 18 pts received CK-101 in dose groups ranging from 100 mg to 1200 mg/day, a first dose-expansion cohort was enrolled at 400 mg bid.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Eligible pts in dose escalation had a confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC or any advanced solid tumor where targeting EGFR was reasonable. Eligible pts in dose-expansion had a confirmed diagnosis of either (1) EGFR mutation-positive advanced or metastatic NSCLC without prior exposure to EGFR-TKI therapy, or (2) T790M-positive advanced or metastatic NSCLC with disease progression on previous EGFR-TKI therapy, with no limit on number of prior lines of systemic therapy.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
As of 25 June 2018, 37 pts were treated in dose escalation and expansion and evaluable for safety; median age 59 years, 51% male, 51% Asian, 84% ECOG PS 1. No DLTs or treatment-related SAEs were reported. Most common treatment-emergent adverse events: nausea (16%), diarrhea (14%), lacrimation increased (14%) and vomiting (11%), all grade 1/2 except one grade 3 diarrhea; no grade 4. In dose-expansion, 19 pts were treated with CK-101 at a dose of 400 mg bid and evaluable for response; 8/19 (42%) pts were treatment-naïve, 6/19 (32%) pts had brain metastases; 16/19 (84%) pts remained on treatment. Disease control rate was 100% (19/19), with 16/19 pts (84%) experiencing target lesion reduction versus baseline and 8 pts achieving a partial response (7 confirmed, 1 pending confirmation). In treatment-naïve pts, 6/8 (75%) pts achieved a partial response. In pts with brain metastases, 3/6 (50%) pts achieved a partial response. Higher drug exposures were associated with higher response rate with a confirmed ORR of 55% (6/11) in pts achieving Cmax >400 ng/mL. Median duration of response and progression-free survival were not reached as of the data cutoff.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
CK-101 was well tolerated with a manageable safety profile. Durable anti-tumor activity was observed, particularly in treatment-naïve pts. Further study is ongoing to establish the optimal dose to maximize therapeutic effect in a planned Phase 3 study in treatment-naïve EGFR-mutant NSCLC pts.

OA02.07 - Updated Results of Phase 1 Study of DS-8201a in HER2-Expressing or –Mutated Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (ID 13325)
11:35 - 11:45 | Author(s): Saiama N. Waqar
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
DS-8201a is a HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate with a novel peptide-based cleavable linker, a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, and a high drug-to-antibody ratio (7 to 8). In preclinical studies, DS-8201a showed broad antitumor activity, in a wide range of tumors. The ongoing phase 1 trial has a dose-escalation (part 1) and -expansion (part 2) and includes subjects with advanced breast cancer, gastric cancer, and other HER2-expressing/-mutated solid tumors. Here, we present updated results for subjects with HER2-expressing or -mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Subjects with HER2-expressing (defined as IHC ≥1+ or amplified) or –mutated (detected by NGS or other platforms) NSCLC were eligible to enroll. HER2 expression and mutation were assessed using archival tissue. Adverse events (AEs), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR: CR + PR + SD), and duration of response (DOR) were assessed.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
[Results will be updated for presentation at meeting] As of Apr 18, 2018, 12 subjects with HER2-expressing and/or -mutated NSCLC received ≥1 dose of DS-8201a at 6.4 mg/kg. Median age was 58.5 y with median of 3 prior regimens. At data cutoff, 8 of 12 (66.7%) subjects remain on treatment. HER2 IHC status was available for 7 subjects. Median duration of treatment was 3.66 months (range 0.69, 14.19). Eight of 10 (80.0%) subjects with ≥1 post-baseline scan (ps) experienced tumor shrinkage (100.0% of them at 1st ps at 6 weeks). Overall, confirmed ORR and DCR in the evaluable subjects was 5 of 8 (62.5%) and 6 of 8 (75.0%), respectively. Among subjects with HER2 IHC 2+ or IHC 3+ expression, 2 of 5 (40.0%) had a PR. Overall, median DOR was 11.5 months (range 0.03+, 11.53). Three of 12 (25.0%) subjects experienced a grade ≥3 AE. Common AEs included decreased appetite 66.7% (0.0% grade ≥3), nausea 58.3% (0.0% grade ≥3), alopecia 41.7% (0.0% grade ≥3), and fatigue 41.7% (0.0% grade ≥3). One fatal case of interstitial lung disease was reported in this subgroup.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
DS-8201a demonstrated promising antitumor activity in heavily pretreated NSCLC subjects.

P1.13-03 - Ensartinib Treatment Beyond Disease Progression in Stage IV ALK+ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 13293)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Saiama N. Waqar
- Abstract
Background
Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) benefit from receiving ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); however, despite initial activity, resistance invariably develops. Disease progression (PD) is sometimes limited to progression which occurs in only one or a few sites and may not occur systemically. Local treatment with radiation while continuing treatment with ensartinib may enable prolonged benefit beyond progression.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Patients who were ALK TKI naïve or had received prior ALK treatment received ensartinib 225mg QD until PD or unacceptable toxicity or investigator discretion. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability, and the secondary endpoint was pharmacokinetic and preliminary biological activity. Tumor assessment was performed locally every 8 weeks. Post-progression treatment with ensartinib was allowed if the investigator felt the patient was still receiving benefit from ensartinib. Cycles were approximately every 28 days, and radiation therapy after Cycle 1 for isolated CNS metastases was permitted if there was no evidence of progressive disease elsewhere. Post-progression treatment data were captured and analyzed.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
As of the data cut-off (May 01, 2018), 12 pts with progression continued ensartinib treatment post progression (67% with progression only in the CNS, 75% of which had CNS lesions at baseline and 33% with progression only outside the CNS). Of the 12 pts, half of the patients were ALK TKI naïve and half had received at least one prior ALK TKI. Six pts received radiation therapy at the time of initial progression. The initial median Progression Free Survival (PFS) of the 12 pts with post progression treatment was 15.7 months and median secondary PFS (date of initial progression to the date of second progression or end of treatment) was 5.7 months for a combined duration of therapy of 23.8 months. A significantly longer duration of continued therapy was observed in patients who received radiation treatment than those who did not 8.6 mos vs 3.5 mos. The secondary PFS was longer in treatment naïve pts than in pts who received a prior ALK TKI, 7.7 mos vs 5 mos. After the initial progression, excluding lesions treated with radiation therapy, secondary stable disease was observed in 92% of patients. No new or additional safety risk was identified in the pts post progression.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Ensartinib may have clinical benefit in selected patients with NSCLC if continued post-progression. Secondary PFS was longer in patients treated with radiation therapy. Ensartinib was generally well tolerated in these patients treated post progression.
