      Background

      EGFR TKI is the standard 1st line therapy for the patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations. While PD-1 checkpoint blockade has become an integral component of disease management for EGFR wild type NSCLC pts at various settings, platinum-based chemotherapy is still the standard of care for EGFR mutated NSCLC pts who progress after EGFR targeting therapy. Early attempts to combine EGFR TKI with checkpoint blockade had resulted in exacerbated immune related toxicity in the lung. Here we aimed to prospectively evaluate toripalimab, a humanized PD-1 mAb approved for 2nd line treatment of melanoma, in combination with chemotherapy to treat EGFR mutated NSCLC pts after failure of EGFR targeting therapy.

      Method

      This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study for pts with EGFR activating mutations who have failed prior EGFR-TKI therapies without T790M mutation or failed osimertinib treatment. Pts were treated with 240mg or 360mg fixed dose toripalimab once every 3 weeks in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed for up to 6 cycles, followed by toripalimab plus pemetrexed maintenance therapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) at week 12 as assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1 once every 6 weeks. Secondary endpoints were safety, ORR, DOR, DCR, TTR, PFS, OS, PK and immunogenicity.

      Forty pts were enrolled from Apr 25, 2018 to March 22, 2019 with 52.5% female pts and a median age of 57.5. 57.5% pts harbored EGFR exon19 deletion while 42.5% pts had exon21 L858R mutation. Only 1 pt had T790M mutation who progressed after osimertinib treatment. In ITT population, 13 confirmed partial response (PR) and 22 stable disease (SD) were observed at week 12 for a 32.5% ORR. As of Jul 25 2019, among 40 pts, 20 confirmed PR and 15 SD were observed for a 50% ORR (95% CI, 33.8% to 66.2%) and an 87.5% DCR (95% CI, 73.2% to 95.8%). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.0 months, and median duration of response (DOR) was 7.0 months. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) occurred in 39 (97.5%) of the pts, grade 3 or higher events occurred in 25 (62.5%) of pts including two deaths. Most common AE included leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, nausea, and loss of appetite. Treatment discontinuation due to AE occurred in 4 (10%) of the pts.

      Conclusion

      Anti-PD-1 mAb, toripalimab in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed has shown a promising anti-tumor efficacy with a tolerable safety profile for advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutated who progressed after EGFR TKI therapies. Pts will be continuously monitored for safety and efficacy readouts (DOR, PFS and OS). A phase III registration study will be initiated in May 2019.

      OA02.03 - The Third Generation EGFR Inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) HS-10296 in Advanced NSCLC Patients with Resistance to First Generation EGFR-TKI (Now Available) (ID 766)

      10:30 - 12:00  |  Author(s): Renhua Guo

      Background

      HS-10296 is an oral, potent, high selective third generation EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) for sensitizing mutations, and the EGFR Thr790Met (T790M) resistance mutation which has been demonstrated by phase I study. This phase II, open-label, multicenter single-arm study was designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of HS-10296 in a large population of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR T790M mutation, who had progressed after first generation EGFR-TKI treatment.

      Method

      Patients aged at least 18 years with centrally confirmed EGFR T790M-positive mutations, locally advanced or metastatic (stage IIIB/IV) NSCLC after first generation EGFR-TKI treatment received HS-10296 110 mg orally once daily until disease progression, or intolerable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. Patients with asymptomatic, stable brain metastases not requiring steroids were allowed to enroll. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 every 6 weeks. Response endpoints (ORR and disease control rate [DCR]) were assessed in response analysis set. Secondary end points including progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DoR), depth of response (DepOR), overall survival (OS) and safety were evaluated in full analysis set. The final data cutoff was on Jan 5, 2019. The study is still ongoing.

      Result

      Totally, 244 patients (median age 60.8) entered study in 36 sites in mainland China (189 patients) and Taiwan (55 patients) between May 16, 2018 to Oct 23, 2018. 2 patients were excluded from the evaluable for response analysis set (n=242) due to absence of measurable disease at baseline by independent central review. At data cutoff, 182 (74.6%) patients remained on treatment. The median duration of follow-up was 4.7 months. 160 of 242 patients achieved confirmed partial responses by independent central review. The ORR was 66.1% (95% CI: 59.8-72.1). The DCR was 93.4% (95% CI: 89.5-96.2). The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) were blood creatine phosphokinase increased (43 [17.6%]), aspartate aminotransferase increased (29 [11.9%]), pruritus (28 [11.5%]), rash (28 [11.5%]) and alanine aminotransferase increased (26 [10.7%]). The most common all-causality grade 3 and 4 adverse events were blood creatine phosphokinase increased (14 [5.7%]) and hyponatraemia (4 [1.6%]). Serious adverse events were reported in 30 (12.3%) patients, of which 19 (7.8%) were investigator assessed as possibly treatment-related to HS-10296. Three deaths were due to adverse events; one was related to cardiopulmonary failure, other two events occurred after disease progression. There was no interstitial lung disease during study treatment.

      Conclusion

      HS-10296 has demonstrated good clinical benefit with minimal toxicity in patients with EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC patients who have progressed after first generation EGFR-TKI treatment. The Phase III study has already launched comparing HS-10296 with gefinitib in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR sensitizing mutations.
