FP01.05 - The ASCENT Trial: A Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant/Adjuvant Afatinib, Chemoradiation +/- Surgery for Stage III EGFR-Mutant NSCLC (ID 3752)
00:00 - 00:00 | Author(s): Zofia Piotrowska
- Abstract
Introduction
The ADAURA trial showed benefit to adjuvant osimertinib in stage III EGFR-mutant (EGFRm) NSCLC, but the role of TKI induction is unknown. In 2011, we began ASCENT, a phase II trial of neoadjuvant and adjuvant afatinib in addition to standard of care (SOC) curative-intent therapy for EGFRm stage III NSCLC (NCT01553942). The study closed early for slow accrual. This is the final analysis.
Methods
ASCENT enrolled patients with EGFRm, stage IIIA/B (AJCC 7th ed.) NSCLC amenable to curative-intent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) ± surgery. Resectability was determined by the treating multidisciplinary team at diagnosis. Patients received neoadjuvant afatinib 40mg QD x 2 months, then concurrent CRT (up to 4 cycles of cisplatin/pemetrexed and 3D conformal RT or intensity-modulated RT personalized to tumor size, site, operability) +/- surgery and an optional 2 years of adjuvant afatinib. The primary outcome was objective response rate (ORR) to neoadjuvant afatinib. Major pathologic response (MPR) was defined as < 10% residual tumor at resection, complete pathologic response (CPR) as no residual tumor.
Results
19 patients (14F/5M), median age 56 (range 34-75) were enrolled. 12 had EGFR del19, 7 L858R. 10 were classified as potentially resectable stage IIIA at diagnosis, 9 as unresectable IIIA/B. All completed two months of neoadjuvant afatinib; 5 (26%) required afatinib dose reduction. The ORR after neoadjuvant afatinib was 11/19 (58%; 95% CI, 33-80%). 1 patient initially deemed inoperable became a surgical candidate based on response to neoadjuvant afatinib; 2 patients progressed on neoadjuvant afatinib or exhibited findings that clarified their presenting stage as IV; both discontinued the protocol. The remaining 17 patients proceeded to CRT with pre-op median radiotherapy dose of 54 Gy (range 45-66; n=10), definitive median dose of 67 Gy (range 63-72; n=7). Among 10 patients who underwent resection (all via lobectomy), the MPR rate was 70% (6 MPR, 1 CPR). 13 (68%) patients started adjuvant afatinib after surgery (7) or definitive CRT (6); 4 completed 2 years, 3 discontinued early (median 1.5 months), 2 recurred during adjuvant afatinib and 4 remain on adjuvant therapy. Key grade 3/4 toxicities included rash (n=6), diarrhea (5), esophagitis (3), nausea (3), pneumonitis (2) and febrile neutropenia (1); there were no treatment-related deaths. With median follow-up of 30.6 months (range 3.1-96.3), 9 (47%) patients have recurred, with 5/9 having CNS-only recurrence. Recurrences occurred in 3/10 surgical patients and 5/7 definitive CRT patients. Median PFS was 34.6 months (95% CI 16.9-66.1) and median OS was 69.1 months (95% CI 29.4-NR). 2-year OS is 88% (95% CI 59-97%).
Conclusion
In stage III EGFRm NSCLC, 2 months of neoadjuvant afatinib is associated with an ORR comparable to that seen in advanced disease and does not impair receipt of SOC chemoradiotherapy ± surgery. PFS and OS are favorable in this single-arm study. The high rate of CNS-only recurrence highlights a potential for improved outcomes with more CNS-penetrant EGFR TKIs. Along with the interim results of ADAURA, these results support genotype-directed therapies in stage III EGFRm NSCLC, though the optimal sequence of TKI therapy will need to be defined.

P76.27 - ORCHARD: A Biomarker-Directed Phase 2 Platform Study in pts with Advanced EGFRm NSCLC Progressing on First-Line Osimertinib (ID 1397)
00:00 - 00:00 | Author(s): Zofia Piotrowska
- Abstract
Introduction
Osimertinib is a third-generation, irreversible, oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that potently and selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI sensitizing (EGFRm) and EGFR T790M resistance mutations, and has demonstrated efficacy in EGFRm advanced NSCLC, including central nervous system metastases. Most patients’ (pts) tumors develop resistance to osimertinib through secondary EGFR mutations (including C797S, G724S and L718V/Q) and off-target genomic alterations (including MET amplification and gene fusions). Data suggest that off-target alterations such as ALK and RET fusions may be resistance mechanisms to first-line osimertinib in some pts (each <5%). The ORCHARD study (NCT03944772) aims to better characterize resistance mechanisms to first-line osimertinib, and evaluate post-progression treatments. The flexible, platform-based design allows for new cohorts and treatment arms, for broader exploration of targeting resistance mechanisms. Previously presented: WCLC 2019 (Yu H, et al. J Thorac Oncol;14[10 suppl]:S647).
Methods
In this open-label, multicenter, multidrug, biomarker-directed Phase 2 platform-based study (Figure), adult pts with locally advanced/metastatic EGFRm NSCLC whose disease progressed on first-line osimertinib are eligible. Treatment is assigned per molecular characterization of a mandatory tissue biopsy from a progressing lesion, analyzed by next-generation sequencing (Foundation Medicine Inc.). The protocol has recently been amended: Group A now includes treatment arms for pts with ALK/RET rearrangements, who will receive osimertinib plus alectinib/selpercatinib, respectively. The ‘MET alterations’ arm has been expanded from MET-amplification to also include MET exon 14 skipping, and the ‘EGFR alterations’ arm has been expanded from EGFR-amplification to also include mutations at the EGFR L718/G724 residue, or insertion in EGFR exon 20. Group B encompasses pts with no identifiable resistance mechanism; Group C is observational, for pts whose tumors harbor resistance mechanisms not currently addressed within the study. Tumor assessments (RECIST 1.1) will be performed every 6 weeks for 24 weeks, and every 9 weeks thereafter until disease progression or treatment discontinuation. Interim analyses will be performed on the first 16 pts in each cohort who have had the opportunity for two post-baseline RECIST assessments; individual cohorts may be stopped (if there is <10% probability for objective response rate [ORR] to be above target value [45%, equaling ≤4 of the 16 pts with confirmed responses]), or expanded to 30–40 pts for further evaluation. Primary endpoint: confirmed ORR (investigator assessed); secondary endpoints include: progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival, and pharmacokinetics. Safety will also be reported. A summary of the observed genomic landscape during enrolment will be presented.
