      P1.01-71 - Co-Mutations, Natural History, and Outcomes of BRAF-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer at a Single Academic Cancer Center (ID 12392)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Joel W. Neal

      • Slides

      Background

      Mutations in the BRAF oncogene occur in 2-4% of cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Based on recent trials, combination therapy targeting BRAF and MEK within the MAPK pathway is now approved for BRAF V600E-mutated NSCLC. As BRAF mutations occur infrequently, however, the natural disease history of BRAF-mutated NSCLC remains an area of ongoing study. Our aim was to describe the natural history and outcomes of patients with BRAF-mutated NSCLC seen at our institution.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      An IRB-approved protocol was used to query the Stanford Cancer Registry and Stanford Cancer Institute Research Database (SCIRDB) for patients with BRAF­-mutated NSCLC presenting between January 1, 2006 and July 31, 2015. Each patient chart was then retrospectively reviewed.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      The cohort included 18 patients (median age 66.5 years, 72% male). V600E mutations were most common (72%; 13/18) while non-V600E mutations included G469A (n = 2), G466V, K601E, and V600_W604delinsR. Most patients (69%; 9/13) with V600E mutations were light or never smokers whereas most patients with non-V600E mutations (80%; 4/5) were heavy smokers (>15 pack-years). Secondary mutations occurred most commonly in TP53 (28%; 5/18). With respect to treatment, no patients received BRAF-targeted therapy upfront. Median duration of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy was 9 months (range 1.5-21.5). In the second-line setting, median duration of chemotherapy was 6 months (range 1-52) and median duration of BRAF-targeted therapy was 5.5 months (range 5.5-6.5). Median overall survival of the entire cohort was 34.8 months. Median survival from the onset of metastases (n = 16) was 26.8 months (range 2-130.5) (Table). Among patients diagnosed with stage III-IV disease, survival at 2-years was 53%, with many showing slow progression and control of oligometastatic or intrathoracic disease with systemic therapy or localized radiation.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      BRAF-mutated NSCLC can be associated with prolonged survival in some patients. Future research should aim to identify factors predicting longer outcomes.

      P1.13-44 - Safety, PK, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of the Oral EGFR/HER2 Exon 20 Inhibitor TAK-788 in NSCLC (ID 12373)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Presenting Author(s): Joel W. Neal

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      TAK-788 (AP32788) is an investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with potent, selective preclinical activity against activating EGFR and HER2 mutations, including exon 20 insertions. We report early results of a phase 1/2 first-in-human, open-label, multicenter study of TAK-788 (NCT02716116).

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) refractory to standard therapy received daily oral doses (5–120 mg) of TAK-788 in the ongoing dose-escalation phase (3+3 design). Preliminary antitumor activity (by RECIST v1.1), safety, and PK are reported for patients who received ≥1 dose.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      As of 8-Sep-2017, 34 patients (median age, 60 y; female, 65%; ≥2 prior anticancer therapies, 88%; Table) were treated with TAK-788; 10 remain on treatment at data cutoff. AUC0‑24,ss increased in a dose-proportional manner over the dose range evaluated; the effective t1/2 was ~16 (range 6–28) h. The most common treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs; ≥20%) were diarrhea (47%), nausea (26%), and fatigue (21%). Grade ≥3 TEAEs in ≥2 patients (excluding disease progression) were dyspnea (n=3, 9%) and anemia, asthenia, dehydration, lung infection, pleural effusion, pneumonia, and pneumonitis (n=2 each, 6%). Two DLTs, both pneumonitis, were reported (80 mg, grade 3; 120 mg, grade 5). Of 14 evaluable patients, 3 had PR (80 mg, n=2, both confirmed; 120 mg, single PR awaiting confirmation), 6 had SD (40 mg, n=3; 80 mg, n=2; 120 mg, n=1), and 5 had PD as best response (40 mg, n=3; 80 mg, n=1; 120 mg, n=1). All patients with PR had EGFR exon 20 insertions.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      TAK-788 exhibits antitumor activity in patients with EGFR exon 20 insertions with an AE profile consistent with other EGFR TKIs. Phase 2 will begin after determination of the RP2D, with 4 molecularly defined cohorts in NSCLC. Updated data will be presented, including the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
