      Background

      Prospective data on immunotherapy for NSCLC with oncogenic driver mutations are limited. We recently reported first results from the global IMMUNOTARGET registry (Mazières, ASCO 2018). Here, we present new data for PD-L1 and mutation subgroups.

      In 2017, we started an international retrospective registry study ("IMMUNOTARGET") for patients with advanced NSCLC, known driver mutations (KRAS, EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, HER2, MET and RET) and PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. The registry is approved by University of Toulouse and Swissethics, and funded by University of Toulouse and Cantonal Hospital of Lucerne. Anonymized real-world data submitted to the coordinating center include: patient and tumor characteristics, mutation test methods and results, systemic therapy lines, immune related adverse events, best response by RECIST, survival, and tumor PD-L1 expression (optional). Statistical calculations including best response, median PFS and OS are done at University of Toulouse.

      In April 2018, the registry included 551 pts from Europe, USA, Israel and Australia. Patients were 50% male/female, 28% current smokers, median age 60 years (range 28-83), 85% had PS0/1. Most (73%) tumors were stage IV at diagnosis, almost all (96%) were adenocarcinomas. Molecular classification by dominant driver mutation: KRAS=271 (49%), EGFR=125 (23%), BRAF=43 (8%), MET=36 (7%), HER2=29 (5%), ALK=23 (4%), RET=16 (3%), ROS1=7 (1%), 1 (0.2%) not classified (ALK+RET+MET). Most pts received nivolumab (466) or pembrolizumab (48) and were treated with immunotherapy in second or third line (67%). The median number of cycles was 5 (range 1-68). Fifty (11%) pts had grade 3-5 toxicity. Median OS from start of immunotherapy was 13.3 months, median PFS was 2.8 months. Best response was PR/CR in: KRAS=26%, BRAF=24%, ROS1=17%, MET=16%, EGFR=12%, HER2=7%, RET=6%, ALK=0%. Percentage of PD-L1 positive cells was available for 177 pts: 0%=71 (40%), 1-49%=46 (26%), 50-100%=60 (34%). Median % of positive cells was highest for ROS1 (90%), BRAF (50%), MET (30%) and RET (26%) mutant tumors. PD-L1 positivity was predictive for improved PFS in KRAS and EGFR mutant tumors. PD-L1 status was known in 18 tumors with ALK, ROS1 or RET rearrangements: 5 had 0%, 4 had 1-49% and 9 had 50%-100%. No tumor remissions were observed in this subgroup. The registry remains open, updated results will be presented at the conference.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Although response rates were lower than in KRAS mutant NSCLC, individual tumors with other driver mutations responded to immunotherapy. PD-L1 expression may not accurately predict clinical benefit from immunotherapy in some molecular subgroups, better markers are needed.

      OA12.01 - Phase II Data for the MET Inhibitor Tepotinib in Patients with Advanced NSCLC and MET Exon 14-Skipping Mutations (ID 12896)

      Background

      A subset (3%) of NSCLCs harbor mutations of the MET proto-oncogene that cause MET exon 14 skipping (METex14) and accumulation of active MET lacking a juxtamembrane domain. We report interim data from a single-arm phase II trial (NCT02864992) investigating the efficacy and safety of the potent, selective tyrosine-protein kinase MET inhibitor tepotinib in patients with METex14-skipping mutation-positive (METex14+) NSCLC.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Recruitment of ≤120 adult patients with advanced METex14+ NSCLC without EGFR-activating mutations or ALK rearrangements is ongoing. METex14+ mutations are identified in FPE tumor (T) material and/or plasma (L; 60 patients each, overlap anticipated) by a central laboratory. Patients receive tepotinib 500mg QD until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal. Primary endpoint: objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints include safety.

      Forty-one patients have been treated to date; data are available for 34 (median age 73.5 years; 23 male; 24/8 Caucasian/Asian; prior lines of therapy: 0, n=12; 1, n=11; 2, n=10; 3, n=1; stage IVA, n=4; stage IV, n=29; stage IIIB, n=1). Treatment is ongoing in 24 patients. Based on investigator assessment, 13/22 (59.1%) evaluable patients responded: 1 had a confirmed complete response; 12 had a confirmed partial response (PR); 3 (13.6%) had stable disease for ≥12 weeks (SD). Based on independent review, 9/22 (40.9%) had a confirmed PR; 5 (22.7%) had SD. Duration of response >12 months in 2 patients. Twenty (58.8%) patients have experienced tepotinib-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TRTEAEs), including serious TRTEAEs in 3 (8.8%): pneumonia =1, generalized oedema=1, interstitial lung disease=1, and grade ≥3 TRTEAEs in 6 (17.6%): generalized oedema=1, pneumonia=1, ALT increased=1, AST increased=1, amylase increased=2, gamma GT increased=1, lipase increased=1, hyperkalemia=1; no TRTEAEs were grade ≥4 or led to death. Five (14.7%) patients have died.

      Tepotinib 500mg QD has promising activity in METex14+ NSCLC, with a favorable safety profile.
