      Background:
      Alectinib, a CNS-active and highly selective ALK inhibitor, has efficacy in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC with and without previous crizotinib treatment. Updated efficacy and safety from the alectinib phase 2 North American NP28761 study (NCT01871805) of patients with ALK-positive NSCLC previously treated with crizotinib, with 15 months’ additional follow-up from the primary analysis and 9 months’ additional follow-up from the previous analysis are presented.

      Methods:
      Patients ≥18 years old with ALK-positive NSCLC (FDA-approved FISH test), disease progression following crizotinib, and ECOG PS ≤2 were enrolled. Patients received oral alectinib (600mg) twice daily until progression, death or withdrawal. Primary endpoint: overall response rate (ORR) by independent review committee (IRC; RECIST v1.1.) Secondary endpoints: investigator-assessed ORR; progression-free survival (PFS); overall survival (OS), CNS ORR (CORR); disease control rate (DCR); safety.

      Results:
      At the updated cut-off (22 January 2016) an additional 15 months' follow-up from the primary analysis, 87 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up: 17.0 months (range 1.1–28.6). ORR in the response evaluable population (REP; n=67) by IRC: 52.2% (95% CI 39.7–64.6), median duration of response: 14.9 months. Median PFS and OS: 8.0 and 22.7 months, respectively. Table 1 presents other efficacy endpoints. Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 41% of the safety population (n=87); most common: elevated levels of blood creatine phosphokinase (8%), alanine aminotransferase (6%), aspartate aminotransferase (5%). Two patients withdrew due to AEs; 28% had AEs leading to dose modification/interruption. Mean dose intensity was 92.0%.

      Alectinib demonstrated durable responses, encouraging OS findings, good tolerability and an acceptable safety profile consistent with previous reports in this update of the NP28761 study with extended follow-up.

      OA11.05 - A Phase 2 Study of Cabozantinib for Patients with Advanced RET-Rearranged Lung Cancers (ID 5731)

      11:35 - 11:45  |  Author(s): G.J. Riely

      Background:
      RET rearrangements are actionable drivers found in 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancers. We previously reported the efficacy and safety of the multikinase RET inhibitor cabozantinib in 16 patients with RET-rearranged lung cancers in the first stage of our Simon two-stage phase 2 clinical trial (overall response rate 38%; Drilon, ASCO 2015). This study has since completed accrual of both stages, now with 26 patients treated with cabozantinib.

      Methods:
      This was an open-label, single center, phase 2 trial (NCT01639508). Eligibility criteria: stage IV pathologically-confirmed lung cancers, presence of a RET rearrangement, KPS >70%, and measurable disease. RET rearrangements were detected by FISH or next-generation sequencing. Cabozantinib was administered in tablet form at 60 mg daily until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. The primary objective was to determine the overall response rate (ORR, RECIST v1.1). Secondary objectives included determining progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity. 5 responses in 25 response-evaluable patients were required to meet the primary endpoint (Simon two-stage minimax design: H~0~ 10% vs H~A~ 30% ORR). All patients who received at least one dose of cabozantinib were evaluable for toxicity.

      Results:
      26 patients with RET-rearranged lung adenocarcinomas were treated with cabozantinib. KIF5B-RET was the predominant fusion type identified in 16 (62%) patients. The median number of prior chemotherapy lines was 1 (0-5). One patient who discontinued therapy in cycle 1 and did not undergo a response assessment was not response-evaluable as per protocol. The study met its primary endpoint with confirmed partial responses observed in 7 (ORR 28% [95% CI 12-49%]) of 25 response-evaluable patients. The median PFS was 5.5 months (95% CI 3.8-8.4). The median OS was 9.9 months (95% CI 8.1-not reached). Response by RET fusion partner: Unknown (FISH+) 2/6 (33%), KIF5B 3/15 (20%), CLIP1 1/1, TRIM33 1/1, CCDC6 0/1, ERC1 0/1. In 26 patients evaluable for toxicity, the most common all-grade treatment-related adverse events were increased alanine aminotransferase in 25 (96%) patients, increased aspartate aminotransferase in 19 (73%) patients, hypothyroidism in 18 (69%) patients, diarrhea in 16 (62%) patients, and palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia in 15 (58%) patients. Nineteen (73%) patients required dose reduction.

      Conclusion:
      This study met its primary endpoint. Cabozantinib is an active agent in patients with RET-rearranged lung cancers. An improved understanding of tumor biology and novel therapeutic approaches will be required to improve outcomes with RET-directed therapy.

      P3.02b-115 - Clinical Activity of Osimertinib in EGFR Mutation Positive Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients (Pts) Previously Treated with Rociletinib (ID 4893)

      14:30 - 14:30  |  Author(s): G.J. Riely

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Both osimertinib and rociletinib were developed to target the EGFR resistance mutation T790M. Sequist, et al reported clinical activity with osimertinib in 9 pts previously treated with rociletinib[1]. We conducted a retrospective analysis at 8 institutions of pts treated with rociletinib, who discontinued the drug due to disease progression or intolerable toxicity and subsequently received osimertinib.

      Methods:
      We identified pts treated with rociletinib followed by osimertinib, as part of osimertinib's US expanded access program or via commercial supply. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were assessed. Frequency of clinical and radiologic assessments on osimertinib was at the discretion of the treating physician. For this retrospective review, reverse KM method was used to calculate the median follow-up; KM method was used for time-to-event endpoints.

      Results:
      45 pts were included in this analysis. Median age at the start of osimertinib was 66 years (43-86) and 71% were female. 28 pts had exon 19 deletions and 16 had L858R. Median duration of therapy on front line EGFR TKI was 18 months (5-54). Median starting dose of rociletinib was 625 mg bid (range 500-1000). The response rate (RR) and disease control rate (DCR; Response+Stable Disease) with rociletinib were 38% and 91%; median duration of rociletinib therapy was 6.2 months. 32 (71%) pts discontinued rociletinib for disease progression. 23 (51%) pts received other therapies (1-4) before starting osimertinib. 25 (56%) pts were known to have brain metastases at osimertinib initiation. RR and DCR with osimertinib were 33% and 82%. DCR in the brain was 88%. With a median follow-up of 7.1 months, median duration of osimertinib therapy in all patients was 8 months (95%CI- 6.6-NR; 64% censored). The 1-year overall survival (OS) rate on osimertinib was 70% (54%-91%). In the 32 pts who discontinued rociletinib due to progression, DCR with osimertinib was 75% and median duration of therapy was 7.8 months (4.6-NR). Neither duration of,or response to rociletinib treatment, nor interval between the two the drugs was associated with duration of osimertinib or OS after osimertinib using a Cox model adjusted for age and sex.

      Conclusion:
      Osimertinib can provide clinical benefit in EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients previously treated with rociletinib. The clinical activity of osimertinib in these patients may be related to more potent inhibition of T790M mutation or ability to overcome resistance to rociletinib. Reference- 1. Sequist, et al.
