OA05.05 - Avelumab vs Docetaxel for Previously Treated Advanced NSCLC: Primary Analysis of the Phase 3 JAVELIN Lung 200 Trial (ID 12930)

Background
Avelumab is a human anti–PD-L1 IgG1 monoclonal antibody that is an approved treatment for metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (various regions) and platinum-treated advanced urothelial carcinoma (US). We report findings from a global, open-label, phase 3 trial of avelumab vs docetaxel in patients with advanced NSCLC after platinum failure (NCT02395172).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Patients with stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC with disease progression after platinum doublet therapy were randomized 1:1 to avelumab 10 mg/kg Q2W or docetaxel 75 mg/m2 Q3W, stratified by PD-L1 status (PD-L1+/PD-L1−) and histology (squamous/nonsquamous). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) in the PD-L1+ population (expression on ≥1% of tumor cells, assessed using the PD-L1 IHC 73-10 assay).

Between April 2015 and February 2017, 792 patients were randomized to receive avelumab or docetaxel, including 264 and 265 with PD-L1+ tumors, respectively; 0.8% vs 7.5% did not receive study treatment. Median follow-up in the avelumab and docetaxel arms was 18.9 and 17.8 months; 15.5% vs 1.5% remained on treatment at data cutoff (November 22, 2017). In the avelumab and docetaxel arms, 39.8% vs 47.5% received subsequent anticancer therapy after discontinuation, including checkpoint inhibitors in 5.7% vs 26.4%, respectively. In the PD-L1+ population, median OS in the avelumab and docetaxel arms was 11.4 vs 10.3 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.90 [96% CI, 0.72-1.12]; P=0.1627, 1-sided). Pre-planned exploratory analyses based on higher PD-L1 cutoffs showed increased OS with avelumab vs docetaxel, including PD-L1-high (≥80% cutoff, 29% of patients; 17.1 vs 9.3 months; HR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.42-0.83]; P=.0022, 2-sided) and PD-L1-medium/high (≥50% cutoff, 40% of patients; 13.6 vs 9.2 months; HR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.51-0.89]; P=0.0052, 2-sided) subgroups. In the PD-L1+ population (≥1% cutoff), ORR was 18.9% vs 11.7% (odds ratio, 1.76 [95% CI, 1.08-2.86]; P=0.0105, 1-sided); median duration of response was not reached with avelumab (95% CI, 9.9-not estimable [NE]) vs 6.9 months with docetaxel (95% CI, 3.5-NE). Overall rates of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were lower with avelumab than docetaxel, including all grades (63.9% vs 85.8%) and grade ≥3 (9.9% vs 49.3%). Immune-related AEs occurred in 16.5% of avelumab-treated patients (grade ≥3 in 2.8%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Avelumab showed increasing clinical activity in patients who had platinum-treated NSCLC with higher tumor PD-L1 expression; however, the trial did not meet its primary objective of improving OS vs docetaxel in PD-L1+ tumors (≥1% cutoff). OS findings may have been confounded by subsequent checkpoint inhibitor therapy in the docetaxel arm.

P1.01-53 - Bone Metastases and Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Patients with Pretreated Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 11980)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Filippo De Marinis
- Abstract
Background
Approximately 40% of NSCLC patients develop bone metastases (BoM). Bone has active functions in regulating immune system. To date, no trial evaluated the role of BoM in modulating response to immunotherapy. Aim of the present study was to investigate whether presence of BoM impact on immunotherapy efficacy.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Two different cohorts of pretreated NSCLC patients (cohort A: Non-squamous; cohort B: Squamous) were evaluated for nivolumab efficacy in terms of objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) according to presence or absence of BoM. All patients received nivolumab at standard dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks within the Italian Expanded Access Program.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Cohort A accounted for 1588 patients with non-squamous NSCLC: 626 (39%) with (BoM+) and 962 (61%) without BoM (BoM-). Cohort B accounted for 370 patients with squamous histology: 102 BoM+ (32%) and 251 BoM- (68%). In Cohort A, BoM+ had a significantly lower ORR (12% versus 34%; p < 0.0001), shorter PFS (2.0 versus 4.0 months, p < 0.0001) and shorter OS (7.4 versus 15.3 months, p <0.0001). In cohort B, BoM+ had significantly lower ORR (15% versus 22%; p < 0.04), shorter PFS (2.7 versus 5.4 months, p <0.0001) and shorter OS (5.0 versus 10.9 months, p <0.0001). Presence of BoM negatively affected outcome irrespective of PS (OS cohort A: PS-0 BoM+ 12.0 versus 20.9 months in PS-0 BoM-, p<0.0001; OS cohort B: PS-0 BoM+ 5.8 versus 16.4 months in PS-0 BoM-, p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that presence of BoM independently associated with higher risk of death with HR 1.64 and HR 1.78, for Cohort A and B, respectively.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Our results, the first assessing BoM in patients treated with immunotherapy, suggested that BoM predict lower efficacy of immunotherapy. BoM should be included as stratification factor in clinical trials.

P2.03-15 - Integrin-Linked Kinase (ILK), Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase SHP2 and B lymphoma Mo-MLV Insertion Region 1 Homolog (Bmi-1) in EGFR-Mutant NSCLC (ID 12557)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Filippo De Marinis
- Abstract
Background
The clinical efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is jeopardized by the activation of multiple signaling pathways. ILK regulates the expression of Bmi-1, a well-known epithelial mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factor. SHP2 function is required for MAPK pathway activation, and also plays a role in receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Clinical data were assessed in accordance with the protocol approved by the institutional review board and de-identified for patient confidentiality. Pretreatment tumor specimens from advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients (pts) were collected from eight sites in Spain, France, Italy and Colombia. mRNA gene expression analysis was performed by TaqMan (qRT-PCR). We examined the mRNA levels of ILK, SHP2 and Bmi-1.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
With a median follow-up of 26.7 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.3 (95% CI, 7.6-14.2) and 15.7 months (95%CI, 12.3-30.1) for pts with high and low ILK mRNA, respectively (P=0.0002), (HR for disease progression, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.3-4.5; P=0.002). Median PFS was 11.4 (95% CI, 8.2-14) and 24.1 months (95% CI, 8.2-30.9) for pts with high and low SHP2 mRNA, respectively (P=0.009), (HR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.2-4.7; P=0.01). Median PFS was 8.2 (95% CI, 4.8-13.1) and 24.1 months (95% CI, 14.2-36.5) for pts with high and low SHP2 mRNA, respectively (P=0.001), (HR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.4-5.9; P=0.002). Median overall survival (OS) was 17.9 (95% CI, 13.2-33) and 34.4 months (95% CI, 18.5-44.2) for pts with high and low ILK mRNA, respectively (P=0.200), (HR, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.79-3; P=0.200). Median OS was 18.5 (95% CI, 14-33) and 36.7 months (95% CI, 16.7-47.1) for pts with high and low SHP2 mRNA, respectively (P=0.018), (HR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.1-5.8; P=0.020). Median OS was 17.6 (95% CI, 8.6-39.1) and 36.7 months (95% CI, 19.1-64.1) for pts with high and low Bmi-1 mRNA, respectively (P=0.004), (HR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.0-5.1; P=0.040).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
The disturbance of RTKs, including ILK-SHP2-Bmi-1 axis, occurs frequently in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients, significantly limiting the PFS and OS. The levels of ILK, SHP2 and Bmi-1 could be predictive for upfront combinatory therapy of EGFR TKI plus a MAPK pathway inhibitor (SHP2 or MEK inhibitors).
