MA15.02 - Long-Term Safety and Clinical Activity Results from a Phase Ib Study of Erlotinib Plus Atezolizumab in Advanced NSCLC (ID 12095)
13:35 - 13:40 | Author(s): Scott N. Gettinger
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Patients with EGFR mutation–positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) achieve favorable outcomes with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); however, the long-term efficacy of these agents is limited by development of acquired resistance. Atezolizumab (anti–PD-L1 mAb) monotherapy has shown tolerability and durable clinical activity in NSCLC. By selectively targeting PD-L1 to block its interaction with receptors PD-1 and B7.1, atezolizumab can reinvigorate anti-cancer T-cell activity. Thus, combining atezolizumab and erlotinib could result in improved anti-tumor immunity and durable anti-tumor effects. Safety and preliminary clinical activity from a Phase Ib study of erlotinib plus atezolizumab in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC have been previously reported (Rudin, et al. WCLC 2016). Here we describe updated findings from this study (NCT02013219).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
EGFR TKI-naive patients with NSCLC were enrolled into a safety-evaluation stage (Stage 1) regardless of EGFR status, and an expansion stage (Stage 2) enrolled patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who were previously untreated or treated with 1 prior non–EGFR TKI therapy. A 7-day run-in period with erlotinib 150 mg PO QD was followed by addition of atezolizumab 1200 mg IV q3w. The primary endpoint was safety/tolerability of the combination; secondary endpoints included clinical activity per RECIST v1.1.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
At data cutoff (August 18, 2017), 28 patients (Stage 1, n = 8; Stage 2, n = 20) were evaluable for safety, and the median survival follow-up was 26.0 months (range, 7.8-32.9; Stage 2). The median age was 61 years (range, 47-84), and the most common EGFR mutation was exon 19 deletion (44%). Grade 3 treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were reported in 43% of patients; no Grade 4 or 5 TRAEs occurred. The most common TRAEs were increased ALT, pyrexia, rash and diarrhea (2 patients each). Serious AEs occurred in 54% of patients; treatment-emergent AEs led to atezolizumab discontinuation in 18% and erlotinib discontinuation in 11%. Clinical activity was evaluated in Stage 2 patients. ORR was 75% (95% CI: 50.9, 91.3), with a median DOR of 16.7 months (range, 4.2-26.0+). Median PFS was 15.4 months (95% CI: 8.4, not estimable [NE]), and median OS was 32.7 months (95% CI: 32.7, NE).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Atezolizumab plus erlotinib demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and compared favorably with prior reports of efficacy with erlotinib monotherapy. OS data are expected to mature and improve with longer follow-up; updated clinical and biomarker data will be presented. Further investigation of the combination is warranted to assess its full potential.

OA10.04 - Afatinib With or Without Cetuximab for EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Safety and Efficacy Results from SWOG S1403 (ID 14014)
11:05 - 11:15 | Author(s): Scott N. Gettinger
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Several EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used for the treatment of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), however resistance inevitably develops. The combination of the irreversible ErbB family TKI afatinib and the EGFR monoclonal antibody cetuximab was previously shown to overcome resistance to first-line EGFR TKIs. To attempt to delay resistance, we conducted a randomized trial of afatinib plus cetuximab versus afatinib alone in treatment-naïve patients with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC (NCT02438722).
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Patients with previously-untreated EGFR-mutant NSCLC were randomized to afatinib 40mg PO daily plus cetuximab 500mg/m2 IV every 2 weeks or afatinib 40mg PO daily. The study was designed to accrue a total of 212 patients, comparing progression-free survival (PFS) between the arms at the 1-sided 0.025 level when 134 PFS events had been observed. Secondary objectives included comparison of overall survival (OS), time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), and toxicity. An interim analysis evaluating early stopping for futility occurred when at least 64 PFS events were reported.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Between March 26, 2015 and April 23, 2018, 170 eligible patients were accrued: 86 to afatinib/cetuximab and 84 to afatinib. Median age was 66.4 years, 66% were female, 64% had an EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation and 36% had an L858R point mutation. With 109 events observed, there was no improvement in PFS with the combination compared to single-agent (HR 1.17, 95% CI 0.80-1.73, P = 0.42, median 10.6 months vs 13.1 months). OS was also not improved with the addition of cetuximab (HR 1.23, 95% CI 0.62-2.44, P = 0.55, median 26.9 months vs not reached). TTD was similar between the two groups (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.64-1.39, P = 0.79, median 12.5 months vs 12.2 months). Grade > 3 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were more common among patients treated with afatinib/cetuximab, and more patients in the combination arm required at least 1 dose reduction of afatinib (57% vs 26%). However, treatment discontinuations due to AEs were similar between the two groups (11.6% vs 10.7%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
There was no difference in PFS, OS or TTD with the addition of cetuximab to afatinib for treatment-naïve patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. The trial was closed to accrual at the interim analysis having met the criteria for futility. Correlative analysis of tumor tissue and blood from patients is ongoing.

P1.01-02 - Long-Term Outcomes with First-Line Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab in Advanced NSCLC: 3-Year Follow-Up from CheckMate 012 (ID 12380)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Scott N. Gettinger
- Abstract
Background
CheckMate 012 (NCT01454102) is a phase 1 study evaluating several nivolumab monotherapy/combination regimens as first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). CheckMate 012 was the first study to suggest the benefit of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in NSCLC. In the phase 3 study CheckMate 227, nivolumab plus ipilimumab recently demonstrated significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) as well as more frequent, deeper, and more durable responses versus chemotherapy in patients with chemotherapy-naive advanced NSCLC and high tumor mutational burden (TMB). Here, we provide 2-year follow-up results for nivolumab plus ipilimumab from CheckMate 012. Three-year results, the longest follow-up to date for an immuno-oncology combination in NSCLC, will be presented.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Eligible patients had recurrent stage IIIb or stage IV chemotherapy-naive NSCLC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0–1. Patients received nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg every 12 weeks (n=38) or every 6 weeks (n=39) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal; pooled results of these two cohorts are presented. Endpoints included safety/tolerability (primary); objective response rate and PFS (secondary); and overall survival (OS), chemotherapy-free survival (CFS), and efficacy by TMB status (exploratory).
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
With 2 years of follow-up, no new safety signals were observed. Thirty-three of 77 patients (43%) achieved objective responses, including six investigator-assessed complete responses (8%), three of which were complete pathological responses. Responses were durable (median duration of response, not reached; range, 1.4+ to 27.9+ months). The 2-year PFS rate was 29%. At the time of database lock, 32 of 34 patients (94%) with OS ≥2 years were alive, with four (12%) remaining on treatment and progression-free; 14 (41%) were off treatment and progression-free without subsequent therapy. Three-year follow-up results to be presented include OS, PFS, and select data on CFS, efficacy by TMB status, and characteristics of long-term survivors.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
With long-term follow-up, nivolumab plus ipilimumab continued to demonstrate durable clinical benefit and a consistent safety profile as first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC.

P2.04-20 - Immunologic Characterization of Fibrinous Pericarditis as an Immune Checkpoint Blockade Toxicity in NSCLC (ID 14058)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Scott N. Gettinger
- Abstract
Background
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment paradigm in number of cancers including Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) but unrestrained modulation of the immune system remains a challenge. Here, we characterized the immune infiltration in the toxicity site and compared immune profile in primary tumor in three patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 axis inhibitors and developed fibrinous pericarditis (FP)
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We used the AQUA method of quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) to assess multiplexed panels identifying immune cell populations and their activation status in pre-treatment, post-treatment primary tumor, post-treatment metastatic tumor and the toxicity sites (including pericardial tissue) from 3 NSCLC patients. We also compared the expression of 730 immune-related genes across sites from the 3 patients with FP and 2 NSCLC patients with different toxicity sites after immunotherapy (hypophysitis and myocarditis) using Nanostring Sprint platform.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
In immune infiltration assessment, TILs markers’ expression (CD4, CD8 and CD20) did not differ between primary tumor and toxicity site. There was a trend towards higher CD3+ expression in the toxicity samples but T-cell activation markers expression, Granzyme B and Ki67, was significantly lower in the pericarditis samples. Interestingly, high Granzyme B expression in CD3- cells and CD56+ cells were seen in the pericarditis samples. CD68+ expression, as well as PD-L1 expression in macrophages, was significantly higher (p<0.0001) in the pericarditis samples. mRNA analysis confirmed the QIF findings, with the chemokine profile indicating an M1 macrophage polarization. Additionally, there was a trend towards higher NCR1, perforin1 and Granzyme B gene expression in the toxicity samples, further supporting a possible role of Natural Killer (NK) cells in the development of toxicity.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Our findings suggest that macrophages and possibly NK cells contribute to inflammatory tissue damage in immune related adverse events. Conversely, T-cells that were infiltrating the toxicity sites had low expression of activation markers, further indicating that toxicity may be mediated by other cellular pathways.

PL02.03 - Brigatinib vs Crizotinib in Patients With ALK Inhibitor-Naive Advanced ALK+ NSCLC: First Report of a Phase 3 Trial (ALTA-1L) (ID 11155)
08:30 - 08:40 | Author(s): Scott N. Gettinger
- Abstract
- Presentation
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.
