      Introduction

      TMB is an emerging biomarker for efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Lung-MAP is a master protocol for biomarker-driven trials in advanced NSCLC. Two sub-studies in previously treated ICI naïve advanced squamous cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC), S1400I, a phase III trial randomizing patients to nivolumab plus ipilimumab (N/I) versus nivolumab (N), and S1400A, a phase II trial evaluating durvalumab (D), provided the opportunity to evaluate TMB and related biomarkers by NGS and to determine associations with clinical outcomes.

      Methods

      NGS was performed on DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor specimens using the FoundationOne T5 platform. TMB was defined as the total number of nonsynonymous mutations per megabase (Mb) of coding sequence. In S1400I, PD-L1 expression was assessed by the 22C3 antibody. A Cox model was used to evaluate associations between TMB (continuous and dichotomized at 10 Mb/mt), PD-L1 (continuous and dichotomized at 0% versus > 0%), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), summarized by hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Associations between TMB and genetic alterations were evaluated by Wald test, with false discovery rate (FDR) ≤ 5% scored as positive. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering was performed using combined data from S1400I+S1400A.

      Results

      3229 figure.jpg252 patients on N/I or N and 68 patients on D were included in the analysis. Higher TMB (per 10-unit difference in TMB value) was significantly associated with better OS and PFS (OS HR(CI): 0.80 (0.67–0.94), P = 0.008 and PFS HR(CI): 0.80 (0.69–0.93), P = 0.004). In S1400I, PD-L1 expression levels were not significantly associated with OS or PFS (N=161, P > 0.05), alone or in combination with TMB. In S1400I+S1400A, no genetic variants were significantly associated with OS or PFS. Genes whose alterations were significantly associated with TMB are shown in the volcano plot. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering suggested a variant-defined subgroup conferred better PFS (HR (CI): 0.41 (0.19–0.88), P = 0.022) but not OS; notably, this subgroup showed 3.8-fold higher TMB and more frequent alterations of genes shown in the plot, compared to other subgroups.

      Conclusion

      Several different methodologies have been employed to measure TMB. TMB by FoundationOne NGS is an analytically and clinically validated assay correlating well with WES and predicted neoantigen load. Here we report that high TMB, but not PD-L1, is associated with improved OS and PFS in patients treated with ICI on S1400I/S1400A. How genetic alterations associated with high TMB may biologically contribute to clinical outcomes from ICI warrants further consideration.

      Introduction

      Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3), an inhibitory Notch ligand that is highly expressed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) compared to normal tissues, is a potential therapeutic target.1 AMG 757, a half-life extended BiTE® immune therapy, binds DLL3 on tumor cells and CD3 on T cells, leading to T cell‑dependent killing of tumors. Emerging data from the ongoing phase 1 study of AMG 757 in SCLC are reported (NCT03319940).

      Methods

      AMG 757 (0.003–10.0 mg) was administered intravenously every two weeks with/without step dose. Eligible patients had SCLC that progressed or recurred following ≥1 platinum-based regimen. Antitumor activity was assessed using modified RECIST 1.1. Tumor DLL3 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. T-cell activation and cytokine profiles pre and post AMG 757 treatment were evaluated.

      Results

      As of 7 August 2020, 40 patients (median age [range], 64 years [44–80]; ECOG PS: 0-1, n=39 [97.5%], median prior lines: 2.0 [1–6]; prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment: n=17 [42.5%]) enrolled at eight dose levels (DL) received ≥1 AMG 757 dose. Median treatment duration was 6.1 weeks (0.1–59.4). Adverse events occurred in 39 (97.5%) patients, resulting in discontinuation in 4 (10.0%); 32 (80.0%) were treatment-related, including 7 (17.5%) grade ≥3 and 1 (2.5%) grade 5 (pneumonitis; DL5 [0.3 mg]). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was reported in 18 (45.0%) patients; grade 2 CRS in 5 (12.5%); no grade ≥3 CRS. CRS presented mainly as fever ± hypotension, was reversible, did not lead to treatment interruption or discontinuation, occurred mostly within 24 hours of the first two doses of AMG 757, and was managed with supportive care, corticosteroids, and/or anti-IL-6 treatment. AMG 757 showed dose proportional increase in exposures.

      Confirmed partial response (PR) was reported for 6 (15.8%) patients (1/12 [8.3%] in DL5, 1/8 [12.5%] in DL6, 3/7 [42.9%] in DL7, and 1/7 [14.3%] in DL8 [Figure]). Stable disease was reported for 11 (28.9%). One patient has ongoing unconfirmed PR in DL8. Evaluation of DL8 is ongoing. Patients with confirmed PR had a median of 2 (1–4) prior lines of therapy and duration of response of 1.9+ to 9.4+ months. DLL3 expression at any level was observed in 31/32 (96.9%) patient tumor samples, with overall H-score 40–300. Tumor shrinkage occurred across a wide range of DLL3 expression (H-score, 55–300).

      Conclusion

      AMG 757 has acceptable safety at doses of up to 10 mg and shows anti-tumor activity in patients with SCLC. Dose escalation is ongoing.

      P01.02 - Trastuzumab Deruxtecan Plus Pembrolizumab in Advanced/Metastatic Breast or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase 1b Study (ID 1829)

      00:00 - 00:00  |  Presenting Author(s): Hossein Borghaei

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Introduction

      Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti-HER2 antibody, cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and potent topoisomerase I inhibitor. In a phase 2 trial in patients with heavily pretreated, metastatic HER2+ breast cancer, T-DXd had a confirmed objective response rate (cORR) of 60.9% (112/184) and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 16.4 mo (Modi N Engl J Med 2019); these results led to the recent FDA approval for HER2+ unresectable or metastatic breast cancer after ≥ 2 prior anti-HER2 based regimens. For HER2-low breast cancer and HER2-expressing/mutated NSCLC, no HER2-directed therapies have been approved. In a phase 1 trial of T-DXd in patients with HER2-low breast cancer or HER2-expressing/mutated NSCLC, cORR was 44.2% (19/43) (Modi SABCS 2018), and 55.6% (10/18) (Tsurutani Thorac Oncol 2018), respectively. In preclinical models, T-DXd combined with an anti–PD-1 antibody was more effective than monotherapy with either agent (Iwata Mol Cancer Ther 2018). Here we describe a phase 1b study of T-DXd in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with locally advanced/metastatic HER2-expressing breast cancer or HER2-expressing/mutated NSCLC (DS8201-A-U106; NCT04042701). This abstract was previously submitted to ASCO 2020.

      Methods

      This is an open-label, multicenter, nonrandomized, multidose, 2-part study in adult (aged ≥18 y) patients in the United States and Europe. In part 1 (dose escalation), patients received T-DXd 3.2 or 5.4 mg/kg IV q3w and pembrolizumab 200 mg IV q3w to determine the recommended dose for expansion (RDE). The RDE will be given to 4 cohorts (part 2): 2 cohorts with breast cancer (HER2+ [IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+] with progression on prior T-DM1; and HER2-low [IHC 1+ or IHC2+/ISH-] with progression on prior standard treatments) and 2 cohorts with NSCLC (anti–PD-1, –PD-L1, and -HER2 treatment naive either HER2-expressing [IHC ≥ 1+] or HER2-mutated). Enrollment began in February 2020 with approximately 115 to 133 patients planned to be enrolled at 5 sites for part 1 and expanding to 25 sites for part 2. The primary endpoint in part 1 is dose-limiting toxicities. The part 2 primary efficacy endpoint is cORR by independent central review (ICR) per RECIST 1.1. Additional endpoints include duration of response, disease control rate, and progression-free survival by ICR, overall survival, safety, and pharmacokinetics.

      Introduction

      Outcome in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on second- or third-line therapies is poor, with a response rate of <20% and median progression-free survival (PFS) of <4 months. Approximately 13% of patients with lung adenocarcinomas harbor KRAS p.G12C mutation. Sotorasib is a first-in-class small molecule that specifically and irreversibly inhibits KRASG12C. In the phase 1 cohort of the CodeBreaK 100 trial (NCT03600883), sotorasib was well tolerated and demonstrated a confirmed response rate of 32.2%, a median duration of response (DoR) of 10.9 months, and a median PFS of 6.3 months in patients with heavily pretreated NSCLC. Here, we present for the first time the primary analysis from the registrational phase 2 portion of the trial.

      Methods

      This international, single-arm, phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of sotorasib, administered orally once daily at 960 mg, in the cohort of patients with locally advanced or metastatic KRAS p.G12C mutant NSCLC. Key inclusion criteria: centrally confirmed KRAS p.G12C; progression on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy and/or platinum-based combination chemotherapy, and targeted therapy if EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 alterations were identified; and ≤3 prior lines of therapy. Patients with untreated active brain metastases were excluded. Primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR), assessed by blinded independent central review per RECIST 1.1. Key secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), PFS, DoR, and safety.

      Results

      Data cutoff was September 1, 2020. A total of 126 patients were enrolled and received at least 1 dose of sotorasib. Median follow-up time on study was 9.3 months (range: 1.1+ to 12.2). Median age was 63.5 years (range: 37 to 80), and 117 (92.9%) were former or current smokers. 72 (57.1%) patients received 2 or 3 prior lines of anticancer therapy. 91.3% received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, and 81.0% received both platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Per central review, 123 patients had at least 1 measurable lesion at baseline and were evaluated for efficacy. 46 patients experienced a confirmed response (2 complete responses and 44 partial responses), resulting in an ORR of 37.4% (95% Cl: 28.8–46.6). At a median follow-up of 6.9 months for DoR, 52.2% of responders remained on treatment without progression. DCR was 80.5% (95% Cl: 72.4–87.1). Median PFS was 6.7 months (95% Cl: 4.9–8.1). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade occurred in 88 (69.8%) patients and led to discontinuation in 9 (7.1%) patients. Grade ≥3 TRAEs were reported in 26 (20.6%) patients; those that occurred in >3% of patients were alanine aminotransferase increase (8/126, 6.3%), aspartate aminotransferase increase (7/126, 5.6%), and diarrhea (5/126, 4.0%). No fatal TRAEs were reported.

      Conclusion

      In the phase 2 CodeBreaK 100 trial, sotorasib provided deep responses and durable clinical benefit with a favorable safety profile in patients with pretreated NSCLC harboring KRAS p.G12C, validating the previous phase 1 results. After four decades of scientific effort, sotorasib may have the potential to be the first targeted treatment option for this patient population with a high unmet need. Updated data including DoR, PFS, and biomarkers will be presented.
