      Background

      In the Phase 3 PACIFIC study of durvalumab versus placebo in patients with stage III, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT), on-treatment pneumonitis or radiation pneumonitis (‘pneumonitis’) occurred in both arms with similar rates of grade 3/4 pneumonitis (durvalumab, 3.4%; placebo, 2.6%). We performed exploratory analyses to further characterize time to onset and duration of pneumonitis and examine its relationship with underlying risk factors, including patient characteristics and prior CRT.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      PACIFIC (NCT02125461) was a randomized, double-blind study of patients with WHO PS 0/1 without progression after ≥2 cycles of platinum-based cCRT. Patients were stratified by age, sex, and smoking history and randomized (2:1) 1–42 days after completing cCRT to durvalumab 10 mg/kg IV Q2W or placebo up to 12 months. Potential associations between the presence of the AE pneumonitis (investigator assessed with review/adjudication by study sponsor) and baseline characteristics or patient disposition were investigated.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      As of Feb 13, 2017, 709 patients had received treatment; 33.6% on durvalumab and 24.9% on placebo had any-grade pneumonitis. Treatment exposure was similar in patients with or without pneumonitis across both arms. Median time to onset of pneumonitis from treatment start was the same for both durvalumab and placebo, 55.0 days (73.0 and 76.5 days from RT completion). Pneumonitis was self-limited, with median durations of 64.0 and 57.0 days, respectively. Patients with pneumonitis were more likely to be Asian (47.9% vs 17.6%) or have EGFR mutations (11.0% vs 3.8%); however, the proportions of patients with pneumonitis and these risk factors were numerically lower with durvalumab than with placebo (Asian: 44.4% [71/160] vs 57.6% [34/59]; EGFRm: 10.6% [17/160] vs 11.9% [7/59]), suggesting no apparent interaction with treatment. There were no apparent associations of pneumonitis with baseline respiratory disorders, prior RT dose, or prior cisplatin or carboplatin use. Previous induction CT was more commonly associated with the absence of pneumonitis in both treatment arms (durvalumab: 30.1% vs 17.5%; placebo: 31.5% vs 20.3%). The presence of pneumonitis was associated with greater discontinuation due to AEs (durvalumab: 25.6% vs 10.2%; placebo: 18.6% vs 6.8%) regardless of treatment.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Rates of pneumonitis were higher in Asian patients and those with EGFRm, as previously reported. Durvalumab did not increase pneumonitis in patients with these risk factors. There were no differences in treatment exposure in patients based on the presence/absence of pneumonitis. Multivariate analyses may further assist in the discernment of etiologic risks.

      Background

      Many patients with NSCLC develop central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Osimertinib, a novel third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has previously demonstrated CNS and systemic efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Combination of an EGFR TKI with a VEGF/VEGFR2-directed monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have shown promising results in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Ramucirumab, human IgG1 VEGFR2 mAb, was used in combination with osimertinib. Planned exploratory and CNS response analyses aim to examine the safety/efficacy of ramucirumab+osimertinib in patients with CNS metastasis.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      In this ongoing, open-label, multicenter Phase 1 study (NCT02789345), patients with T790M-positive EGFR-mutant (Ex19del or L858R) NSCLC who had relapsed after first-line EGFR TKI therapy were enrolled. Patients with asymptomatic and stable CNS metastasis (with/without prior radiotherapy) were eligible. Primary objective of the study was to assess safety and tolerability of ramucirumab+osimertinib. Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). Exploratory endpoints relevant to CNS include CNS ORR and CNS DCR.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Patients (N=25) were 45-80 years (median 64) with ECOG-PS 0 (n=3) or 1 (n=22) and 10 patients had CNS metastasis at enrollment while 15 never had CNS metastasis. Patients with CNS metastasis could have had prior radiotherapy (n=7) or no radiotherapy (n=3) to the CNS. Median follow-up time was 7.23 months. Fifteen patients remained on study treatment (five with CNS metastasis, ten without). TEAEs of interest (CNS metastasis, no CNS metastasis), such as headache (4/10, 5/15), vomiting (3/10, 4/15), and nausea (2/10, 4/15), were observed with comparable rates in patients with or without CNS metastasis. One patient developed TEAE of cerebral hemorrhage (Grade 1), related to CNS metastasis, but unrelated to study treatment, according to the investigator. Another patient with CNS metastasis developed Grade 5 TRAE of subdural hemorrhage, unrelated to CNS metastasis, ~7 weeks after the last dose of ramucirumab. Only one patient with CNS metastasis had measurable CNS lesions (tumor shrinkage of 24% [SD] as best response). The other nine patients with CNS metastasis had non-measurable CNS lesions, one of whom had a CNS complete response; his systemic best response was SD. The rest of patients had CNS non-CR/non-PD. To date, one patient (1/25) developed CNS progression (due to new CNS lesion); her CNS best response was SD.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Ramucirumab+osimertinib showed potential antitumor activity in the CNS. Patients with CNS metastasis, with/without prior radiotherapy, appeared to tolerate this combination similarly to patients without CNS metastasis.

      MA26.11 - Effects of Dose Modifications on the Safety and Efficacy of Dacomitinib for EGFR Mutation-Positive NSCLC (ID 13318)

      14:40 - 14:45  |  Author(s): Ki Hyeong Lee

      • Abstract

      • Slides

      Background

      In patients with EGFR mutation-positive advanced stage NSCLC, first-line dacomitinib significantly improved PFS, OS, DoR and time to treatment failure vs gefitinib (ARCHER 1050; NCT01774721).1,2 Dacomitinib starting dose was 45 mg QD for all patients, with reductions to 30 or 15 mg QD permitted. We explored effects of dacomitinib dose reduction on safety and efficacy in this ongoing study.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with newly diagnosed stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC harboring an EGFR mutation (exon 19 del or exon 21 L858R) randomized to dacomitinib received 45 mg PO QD. Study endpoints and protocol-defined dose reduction parameters were previously described.1 We evaluated reasons for dose reductions, and their effects on incidence and severity of common adverse events (AEs) and key efficacy endpoints (PFS, OS, ORR). Data cutoff dates: 17-Feb-2017 (OS), 29-Jul-2016 (other endpoints).

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Overall, 150 (66.1%) patients dose reduced for AEs (87 and 63 reduced to 30 and 15 mg QD as lowest dose, respectively); most commonly for skin toxicities (62.6%) and diarrhea (14.0%). Median time to each successive dose reduction was ~12 weeks. Incidence and severity of AEs declined following dose reduction, including grade ≥3 diarrhea (11.3% before vs 4.0% after), dermatitis acneiform (15.3% vs 6.7%), stomatitis (3.3% vs 2.7%) and paronychia (7.3% vs 4.7%).

      PFS was similar in dose-reduced and all dacomitinib-treated patients (Figure).

      pfzusdt200581 dacomitinib dose reduction figure 02.jpg

      Median OS results were also similar (dose-reduced patients: 36.7 mo [95% CI: 32.6, NR]; all dacomitinib-treated patients: 34.1 mo [95% CI: 29.5, 37.7] as were ORRs (dose-reduced patients: 79.3% [95% CI: 72.0, 85.5]; all dacomitinib-treated patients: 74.9% [95% CI: 68.7, 80.4]).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Efficacy was similar in the dose-reduced patients and the overall study population. Incidence/severity of dacomitinib-related AEs decreased with dose reduction, thereby allowing patients to continue treatment.

      Background

      Brigatinib has robust efficacy in crizotinib-resistant ALK+ NSCLC, exhibiting median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 16.7 months. We report results of the first interim analysis from the ALTA-1L study of brigatinib vs crizotinib in ALK TKI-naive, ALK+ NSCLC (NCT02737501).

      This open-label, multicenter study enrolled patients with stage IIIB/IV ALK+ NSCLC based on local ALK testing (FDA approved/other). Eligible patients had ECOG PS 0–2, ≤1 prior systemic therapy for locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC, and no prior ALK inhibitor. Asymptomatic CNS metastases were allowed. All patients had systematic CNS imaging. Patients were randomized 1:1 to brigatinib 180 mg QD with 7-day lead-in at 90 mg or crizotinib 250 mg BID. Primary endpoint: blinded independent review committee (BIRC)-assessed PFS (RECIST v1.1). Secondary efficacy endpoints included BIRC-assessed objective response rate (ORR), intracranial ORR (iORR), and intracranial PFS (iPFS). Interim analyses were planned at 50% and 75% of planned PFS events (n=198).

      275 patients were randomized (brigatinib/crizotinib, n=137/138); median age (years) 58/60. 26%/27% received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease, and 29%/30% had baseline brain metastases. At data cut-off (19 February 2018), median follow-up brigatinib/crizotinib: 11.0/9.25 months; with 99 PFS events, brigatinib met the prespecified threshold for statistical superiority vs crizotinib in the primary endpoint, BIRC-assessed PFS (HR 0.49, 95% CI 0.33–0.74, log-rank P=0.0007); brigatinib mPFS was not reached (95% CI NR–NR) vs crizotinib 9.8 months (95% CI 9.0–12.9). Investigator-assessed PFS HR 0.45 (95% CI 0.30–0.68), log-rank P=0.0001. Table shows additional efficacy data. Most common treatment-emergent AEs grade ≥3: brigatinib: increased CPK (16.2%), increased lipase (13.2%), hypertension (9.6%); crizotinib: increased ALT (9.5%), AST (5.8%), and lipase (5.1%). Any grade ILD/pneumonitis: brigatinib, 3.7%; crizotinib, 2.2%. Discontinuations due to AE (brigatinib/crizotinib): 11.8%/8.8%.

      Brigatinib showed a statistically and clinically significant improvement in PFS compared with crizotinib in ALK inhibitor–naive ALK+ NSCLC.
