      Background

      Dacomitinib is a second generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with irreversible pan-HER inhibitory activity. In the phase III ARCHER 1050 trial, median PFS was improved from 9.2 months to 14.7 months in the gefitinib and dacomitinib groups respectively. Significantly, median overall survival (OS) was also improved from 26.8 months to 34.1 months. However, dacomitinib commenced at 45 mg orally daily was associated with increased toxicity, higher rates of dose reductions and treatment discontinuation. Despite this, post-hoc analysis revealed the efficacy of dacomitinib (PFS and OS) was similar in dose-reduced patients and the overall study population. This investigator-initiated trial aims to evaluate an alternative dose titration strategy to improve the safety and tolerability of dacomitinib while maintaining treatment efficacy. The trial is being conducted by the Asian Thoracic Oncology Research Group (ATORG) – a co-operative lung cancer trials group in Asia.

      Method

      ATORG-003 is a multi-national, multi-centre, single-arm, open-label, phase 2 clinical trial of dacomitinib in newly diagnosed stage IIIB/IV or recurrent EGFR mutant (exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation) NSCLC patients. Importantly, subjects with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases will be eligible. Patients will be administered dacomitinib 30 mg orally daily for one cycle (4 weeks), after which subjects with <G1 toxicity attributable to dacomitinib may escalate to 45 mg with shared investigator and patient decision. Dose reductions to 30 or 15 mg daily will be permitted. The primary objective is to evaluate PFS rate at 12 months. Key secondary objectives include OS, objective response rate (ORR), time to treatment failure (TTF) and intracranial objective response rate (iORR). Exploratory objectives include evaluation of dacomitinib resistance mechanism(s) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) on tissue and plasma circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA). Across 15 sites in six Asian countries (Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand), a planned 118 subjects will be enrolled. Primary analysis will be conducted on subjects without CNS metastases only, with 94 subjects required to achieve a one-sided significance level of 5% and 90% power to detect a 15% improvement in 12 month PFS rate for dacomitinib versus historical control for gefitinib (i.e. 55% versus 40%) using the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis population. Enrollment is due to begin in July 2019.
