      Background

      G and D have both shown efficacy in patients (pts) with NSCLC; G + D may improve durability of response.

      This Phase 1 dose escalation (Part A) and expansion (Part B) study (NCT0208811) assessed G 250 mg once daily + D 3 mg/kg (Part A) or 10 mg/kg (Parts A + B) every 2 weeks in pts with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC. Part A pts were all comers who had failed to respond/relapsed following standard treatment (Tx). Part B pts had sensitising EGFR mutations and were tyrosine kinase inhibitor naïve: Arms 1 + 1a received G + D; Arm 2 received G (4 weeks) before G + D. Primary objective: safety/tolerability. Secondary objectives: pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity (anti-drug antibodies [ADAs]) and efficacy. Exploratory objective: evaluation of biomarkers (e.g. tumour programmed cell death ligand-1 [PD-L1]) and relationship with efficacy.

      There were no dose limiting toxicities in Part A (n = 16) and D 10 mg/kg was used in Part B. In Part B (n = 40) all pts had possible Tx related adverse events (TRAEs; Table): diarrhoea (68%) and elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT; 58%) were the most common TRAEs; elevated ALT (20%) and aspartate aminotransferase (15%) were the most common TRAEs leading to discontinuation. PK were as expected, inhibition of soluble PD-L1 was observed in all pts and no Tx emergent ADAs were observed. In Arms 1 + 1a, most patients achieved objective response (63.3%; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 43.9, 80.1), median duration of response was 9.2 months (95% CI: 3.7, 14.0) and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 10.1 months (95% CI: 5.5, 15.2; Table). PD-L1 expression ≥20% was associated with numerical improvements in mPFS (Table).

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      G + D had a high discontinuation rate due to liver related TRAEs and there was no additional benefit vs historical data for G alone. However, tumours expressing PD-L1 had favourable PFS and could be investigated further.
