      Background

      Approximately 10% of EGFR mutants harbor uncommon mutations, which represent a heterogeneous group of rare molecular alterations within exons 18-21 and the sensitivity to EGFR TKIs is variable. Osimertinib is a potent irreversible inhibitor of both sensitizing EGFR mutation and T790M. In preclinical data, osimertinib was found to be active against most uncommon EGFR mutants, apart from the exon 20 insertion variant. Here we present the efficacy and safety of osimertinib in patients with uncommon EGFR mutation positive NSCLC.

      Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic or recurrent NSCLC with activating EGFR mutation other than exon 19 deletion, L858R, T790M and insertion in exon 20 were eligible. Patients received 80mg of osimertinib orally, once daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Response was assessed every 8 weeks by investigator. The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT03424759.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Between Mar 2016 and Oct 2017, 35 patients were enrolled. Median age was 59, 63% male, 43% never smoker, 97% adenocarcinoma. 63% of patients were treated as first-line therapy. The mutations identified were G719A/C/D/S/X (19, 54.3%) followed by L861Q (9, 25.7%), S7681 (8, 22.9%), and others (3, 8.6%). The overall response rate was 50.0% (95% CI 32.8-67.2) and DCR was 88.9% (95% CI 78.1-99.7). Seven patients (77.8%) with L861Q mutation achieved partial response; 10/19 (52.6%) with G719A/C/D/S/X mutation; 3/8 (37.5%) with S768I mutation. At data cutoff (Apr, 2018), the median PFS was 8.2 months (95% CI 1.9- 14.4) and median duration of response was 9.8 months (95% CI 7.6-12.0). The most common adverse events were rash (n=11, 31.4%), anorexia (n=8, 22.9%), and diarrhea (n=7, 20.0%). Grade 3 or 4 AEs were reported in 8 of 35 patients (23%), but all of AEs were manageable.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Osimertinib showed highly active in NSCLC patients harboring uncommon EGFR mutation with manageable safety profile, consistent with previous reports. Further analysis will be provided.

      P2.12-05 - SUKSES (Small Cell Lung Cancer Umbrella Korea Studies): A Phase II Biomarker-Driven Umbrella Study in Relapsed or Refractory SCLC (ID 12673)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Jang Ho Cho

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      Although initial platinum-based treatment demonstrated high response rate (RR) in extensive stage SCLC, limited options are available for subsequent systemic therapy. Recent studies with comprehensive genomic profiling identified cell cycle-related gene alteration, such as TP53 and RB1 inactivation, and RICTOR amp as a major characteristic of SCLC. Based on this observation, we designed umbrella clinical trial based on the hypothesis that controlling cell cycle checkpoint, DNA damage repair mechanism, and mTOR pathway with small molecules and monoclonal antibodies targeting these pathways might be an effective approach for the later line SCLC treatment.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      SUKSES trial (NCT02688894) is a phase 2 study with seven treatment arms. Four arms for the biomarker-positive population. Arm A (AKT1 mt); Arm B (BRCA1 or BRCA2 mt, ATM deficiency, MRE11A mt or other HR pathway gene mt); Arm C (MYC family protein amplification or CDKN2A mt either of which combined with TP53 mt); Arm D (RICTOR amp). Three arms for the biomarker-negative population. Arm-N1, N2, and N3.

      Pathologically confirmed SCLC patients are eligible for the molecular screening. For study participation, patients must have at least one measurable lesion after progression from first-line platinum-based therapy. Patients are enrolled in either second or third line based on their initial treatment response. Following treatment is applied after allocation: Arm-A (AZD5363); arm-B (Olaparib); arm-C (AZD1775); arm-D (AZD2014); arm-N1 (AZD1775); arm-N2 (Olaparib and AZD6738); arm-N3 (AZD2811). Primary endpoint for this study is objective RR. Duration of treatment, disease control rate at eight weeks, progression-free survival, exploratory biomarker will be evaluated as secondary endpoint.

      As of May 2018, 157 patients have been screened for the molecular profiling. Arm A was closed due to low discovery rate of AKT1 mutation. Of the planned 28 patients for each biomarker positive arm, 9 for arm B, 7 for arm C and 4 for arm D have enrolled. For the negative-biomarker arms, 24 out of 45 patients are recruited for arm N1 and 9 patients for Arm N3. Arm N2 is under review by Institutional Review Board.

      P3.01-18 - Comparison of PD-L1 Immunohistochemical Assays and Clinical Response to Anti PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitors in Patients with Lung Cancer (ID 14296)

      12:00 - 13:30  |  Presenting Author(s): Jang Ho Cho

      Background

      The anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitors, nivolumab and pembrolizumab, are currently approved for the treatment of patients with NSCLC. The PD-L1 expression represents the most validated predictive marker of response to PD-1 inhibitors. However, there are several different immunohistochemical assays to assess the PD-L1 expression using different antibodies, platforms, and cutoff values. We compared the PD-L1 expression evaluated by IHC 22C3 PharmDx with that observed by Ventana SP263 and analyzed correlation with response to anti PD-1 inhibitors.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively analyzed 109 patients with lung cancer to be treated with anti PD-1 inhibitors who have PD-L1 expression levels obtained with both the 22C3 and SP263 assays. We reviewed medical records to obtain information about the patient’s clinical characteristics, response evaluation and survival data. The relationship between PD-L1 expression levels evaluated by the 22C3 and SP263 assays was calculated using the concordance correlation coefficient, Pearson’s precision analysis.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Most patients were male (70%), smoker (65%), ECOG PS 1 (73%), and histologically adenocarcinoma (55%) or squamous cell carcinoma (29%). 30% of patients had EGFR mutations. Patients were treated with pembrolizumab (n=41, 38%), or nivolumab (n=67, 61%). The median cycle of anti PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor was three (range, 1-25). There was moderate analytical correlation between 22C3 and SP263 PD-L1 levels. At the clinically relevant cutoffs ( < 10% vs. 10%; and <1% vs. 1-49% vs. 50%), the concordance correlation coefficient between 22C3 and SP263 were 0.68 (95%CI: 0.59-0.77) and 0.66 (95%CI: 0.51-0.81), respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) was 25.0% for all patients. The ORR was comparable regardless of the cutoff levels of PD-L1 expression by SP263 assays (ORR 39.6%, 41.7%, and 47.4% respectively for PD-L1 expression by 1%, 10%, 50% cutoff levels). But, the correlation between ORR and PD-L1 expression by 22C3 assays was not statistically significant. At 1% cutoff value, progression free survival was longer in patients with high vs. low tumor PD-L1 expression (2.8 months vs. 1.2 months, HR 0.63, 95%CI: 0.41-0.97, p=0.03) by the 22C3 and (3.1 months vs. 1.3 months, HR 0.61, 95% CI:0.40-0.93, p=0.02) by the SP263, respectively.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      We showed a moderate correlation between PD-L1 expression data obtained with the 22C3 and SP263 assays. These two assays could be used interchangeably and might be helpful for decision with anti PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors. Further analysis will be updated.
