      Background

      Entrectinib is a potent ROS1 inhibitor (as well as TRKA/B/C), designed to effectively penetrate the central nervous system (CNS); brain metastases are common in patients (pts) with advanced ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC. Entrectinib achieves therapeutic levels in the CNS with antitumour activity in multiple intracranial tumour models. We present updated integrated safety and efficacy data from three Phase 1/2 entrectinib studies (ALKA-372-001 [EudraCT 2012-000148-88], STARTRK-1 [NCT02097810], STARTRK-2 [NCT02568267]) in pts with locally advanced/metastatic ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC.

      The analysis included pts with ROS1 inhibitor-naïve NSCLC harbouring a ROS1 fusion identified via nucleic acid-based diagnostic platforms. The ROS1 safety-evaluable population included pts who received ≥1 dose of entrectinib; the integrated efficacy analysis included pts with at least 6 months of follow-up. Tumour assessments were done at wk 4 and then every 8 wks by blinded independent central review (BICR), using RECIST v1.1. Primary endpoints by BICR: overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR). Key secondary endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS), safety. Additional endpoints: intracranial ORR (complete/partial response), DOR in pts with intracranial response, PFS in pts with or without baseline CNS disease.

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      In the ROS1 safety-evaluable population (n = 134), at least one treatment-related AE (TRAE) of any grade was seen in 93% of pts. Pts with at least one TRAE by highest grade were: grade 1/2, 59%; grade 3, 31%; grade 4, 4%. There were no grade 5 TRAEs. TRAEs led to dose reduction or discontinuation in 34% and 5% of pts, respectively. Efficacy outcomes are summarised in the table.

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      Entrectinib is highly active in pts with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC, including pts with CNS disease. Entrectinib is well tolerated with a manageable safety profile.

      21O - EPAC-Lung: Pooled analysis of circulating tumor cells in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (ID 434)

      09:00 - 10:30  |  Author(s): Matthew G Krebs

      Background

      We assessed the clinical validity of circulating tumor cell (CTC) quantification for prognostication of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by undertaking a European pooled analysis of individual patient data. This is the largest study of its kind and the first to examine between-centre heterogeneity of CTC identification in NSCLC.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      Nine European NSCLC CTC centers were asked to provide reported/unreported anonymised data for patients with advanced NSCLC who participated in CellSearch CTC studies from January 2003 - March 2017. We used Cox regression models, stratified by centre, to establish the association between CTC count and survival. We assessed the added value of CTCs to prognostic clinico-pathological models using likelihood ratio (LR) statistics and c-indices.

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      Seven out of nine eligible centers provided data for 550 eligible patients, including 209 patients whose prognostic information was previously unpublished. CTC counts of ≥ 2 and ≥5 per 7·5 mL were associated with reduced progression-free survival (≥2 CTCs: HR 1.72, p < 0·001; ≥5 CTCs: HR 2.21, p < 0·001) and overall survival (≥2 CTCs: HR 2·18, p < 0·001; ≥5 CTCs: HR 2·75, p < 0·001), respectively. Survival prediction was significantly improved by addition of baseline CTC count to LR clinico-pathological models (log-transformed CTCs p < 0·0001; ≥2 CTCs p < 0·0001; ≥5 CTCs p < 0·0001), while more moderate improvements were observed with the use of c-index models. There was minor evidence of between-center heterogeneity in the effect on PFS, but not OS.No difference in CTC profile was observed between key NSCLC molecular subsets such as EGFR, ALK, and KRAS.

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      These data confirm CTCs as an independent prognostic indicator of progression-free survival and overall survival in advanced NSCLC. CTC count improves prognostication when added to full clinico-pathological predictive models. ≥2 CTCs is an appropriate cutoff to move towards establishing clinical utility.
