    P3.11-034 - One-year follow-up of a Phase I/II study of a highly selective ALK inhibitor CH5424802/RO5424802 in ALK-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 2591)

    • Abstract

    Background
    CH5424802 is a novel tyrosine-kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits ALK as well as secondary ALK mutations including L1196M. The preliminary results of the Phase I/II study (Lancet Oncol. 2013; 14: 590–8) showed that CH5424802 was active in the CNS and achieved a 93.5% objective response rate by RECIST in crizotinib-naïve NSCLC patients with a median follow-up of 7.6 months (range, 3.4–11.3). Here we report the 1-year follow-up results after the last patient enrolled in the Phase II analysis.

    Methods
    Patients with ALK-rearranged advanced NSCLC, who progressed after ≥1 prior chemotherapy regimens and who were naïve to any ALK inhibitors, received CH5424802 300 mg orally twice daily in the Phase II portion of the study. ALK fusion gene expression was confirmed by IHC and FISH or by RT-PCR at central laboratories. Tumor assessment was performed every cycle (21 days) until Cycle 4 and every 2 cycles thereafter with RECIST ver. 1.1.

    Results
    As of April 18, 2013, 46 patients had been treated with CH5424802 in the Phase II portion: median age, 48 years (range, 26–75); male/female, 22/24; ECOG PS 0/1, 20/26; never-smoker, 59%; ≥2 prior chemotherapy regimens, 52%. The objective response rate remains the same as previously reported, 93.5% (95% CI: 82.1% to 98.6%). At 1-year follow-up, a total of 7 patients (15%) had achieved a complete response. The median progression-free survival had not been achieved, and the 1-year progression-free rate (PFR) was 83% (95% CI: 68% to 92%). 34/46 patients were still on study treatment, and the median treatment duration had passed 14.8 months. CH5424802 also shows promising efficacy in the CNS: of 14 patients with baseline brain metastasis, 9 remained in the study without CNS or systemic progression for >12 months, with 6 of them exceeding 16 months. The other 5 patients with baseline CNS metastasis had no CNS progression during CH5424802 treatment. One of these patients discontinued the study due to AE, and the remaining 4 patients had systemic progression. The safety profile remains similar to that previously reported, with no patient requiring dose reduction.

    Conclusion
    CH5424802 demonstrated a high 1-year PFR of 83% and promising CNS activity. CH5424802 could be a novel therapeutic option for the treatment of ALK-rearranged NSCLC.
