      146TiP - EXalt3: A phase III study of ensartinib (X-396) in anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 473)

      12:30 - 12:30  |  Author(s): L. Horn

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Ensartinib is a novel, potent anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with additional activity against MET, ABL, Axl, EPHA2, LTK, ROS1 and SLK. Ensartinib has demonstrated activity in ALK treatment naïve and previously treated patients and has a generally well tolerated safety profile.

      Trial design:
      eXalt3 (NCT02767804) is a global, randomized, open-label phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of ensartinib to crizotinib in ALK- positive TKI naïve non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. It is being conducted in > 100 sites in North America, South America, Europe, and the Asia/Pacific region. Enrollment began in 2016. The primary efficacy endpoint is progression free survival (PFS) assessed by independent radiology review. Secondary efficacy endpoints include overall survival, response rates (overall and central nervous system [CNS]), PFS by investigator assessment, time to response, duration of response, and time to CNS progression. Approximately 270 patients with ALK+ NSCLC who have received no prior ALK TKI and up to one prior chemotherapy regimen will be randomized 1:1 to ensartinib 225 mg QD, or crizotinib 250 mg BID, with stratification based on prior chemotherapy, ECOG performance status (PS), CNS metastases and geographic region. Eligibility includes patients ≥ 18 years of age, stage IIIB or IV ALK+ NSCLC. Patients are required to have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, adequate organ function, and an ECOG PS of ≤ 2. Adequate tumor tissue (archival or fresh biopsy) must be available for central testing. The study has >80% power to detect a superior effect of ensartinib over crizotinib in PFS at a 2-sided alpha level of 0.05.

      58TiP - IMpower133: Phase I/III trial of first-line atezolizumab with carboplatin and etoposide in ES-SCLC (ID 421)

      12:30 - 12:30  |  Author(s): L. Horn

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Platinum-based chemotherapy (chemo) with etoposide is the current first-line standard of care for the majority of patients (pts) with ES-SCLC. However, survival outcomes remain poor (median OS, < 1 year) despite initial response rates ranging from 50%-70%. Atezolizumab (atezo) is an anti–PD-L1 mAb that prevents the interaction of PD-L1 with its receptors, PD-1 and B7.1, and restores antitumor T-cell activity. Tolerable safety with promising durability of response has been shown with atezo in pts with ES-SCLC: confirmed ORR was 6% (n = 1/17 [partial response]; DOR of 7 mo) by RECIST v1.1 and 24% by immune-related response criteria (irRC; n = 4/17, with 2 pts on atezo for ≥ 12 mo). Preliminary data also indicate the potential synergy between atezo and platinum-based chemo in NSCLC whereby durable responses may translate into improved survival compared with atezo alone. IMpower133 (NCT02763579), a global, Phase I/III, randomized, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1L atezo + carboplatin + etoposide compared with placebo + carboplatin + etoposide in treatment-naive pts with ES-SCLC.

      Trial design:
      Eligibility criteria include ES-SCLC, measurable disease (RECIST v1.1), ECOG PS 0-1 and no prior systemic anticancer treatment. Exclusion criteria include untreated CNS metastases and history of autoimmune disease. Submission of tumor tissue is a study requirement but pts will be enrolled regardless of biomarker status. Stratification factors are sex, ECOG performance status and presence of treated brain metastases. Eligible pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive four 21-day cycles of atezo (1200 mg IV) or placebo in combination with carboplatin (AUC 5 mg/mL/min IV, d 1) and etoposide (100 mg/m[2] IV, d 1-3), followed by maintenance therapy with atezo or placebo until PD per RECIST v1.1. Pts can continue with treatment until persistent radiographic PD, symptomatic deterioration or unacceptable toxicity. Co-primary endpoints are investigator-assessed PFS per RECIST v1.1 and OS. Secondary efficacy endpoints include investigator-assessed ORR and DOR. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed. Approximately 400 pts will be enrolled.

      91PD_PR - Response to salvage chemotherapy following exposure to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in patients with NSCLC (ID 498)

      14:45 - 14:45  |  Author(s): L. Horn

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Immune checkpoint inhibitors are active for patients with stage IV NSCLC who have progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy. We evaluated responses to chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC who had progressed on a checkpoint inhibitor.

      Methods:
      Eligible patients were adults with NSCLC who received salvage chemotherapy following PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (cases) versus no PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (controls). CT-imaging was done within 4 weeks of initiation of salvage chemotherapy and every 6 weeks thereafter. Revised RECIST guidelines were used to define response. Clinical and imaging data were abstracted from review of electronic medical records. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to calculate probability of response.

      Results:
      355 patients’ charts were reviewed and 82 patients met eligibility criteria. Among evaluable patients, 46 were males versus 36 females. 67 patients were classified as cases versus 15 controls. 56 patients received nivolumab, 7 pembrolizumab and 4 atezolizumab. 63 (77%) patients had adenocarcinoma, 18 (22%) squamous cell carcinoma and 1 (1%) large cell carcinoma. The mean number of chemotherapy regimens prior to salvage chemotherapy was 2.37 (95% CI: 2.10-2.64) in cases versus 1.93 (95% CI: 1.32-2.54) in controls. Salvage drugs used included docetaxel (62%), pemetrexed (20%), gemcitabine (12%) and paclitaxel (6%). 18 (27%) cases had partial response to chemotherapy versus 1 (7%) controls. 15 (22%) cases had progressive disease versus 6 (40%) controls. 34 (51%) cases had stable disease versus 8 (53%) controls. The odds ratio for achieving a partial response was 0.30 (95% CI: 0.18 to 0.50, p = 0.000). In multiple logistic regression model, age, gender, number of prior chemotherapy regimens, tumor histology, smoking status, different salvage chemotherapy regimens were not associated with the likelihood of achieving a partial response.

      Conclusions:
      The odds of achieving a partial response to salvage chemotherapy were significantly higher in patients with prior exposure to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. This observed difference however warrants confirmation in larger cohorts. Ongoing investigations include the duration of response as well as evaluation of toxicity.

      86O - Afatinib (A) plus cetuximab (C) in the treatment of patients (pts) with NSCLC: The story so far (ID 311)

      16:57 - 17:09  |  Author(s): L. Horn

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Constitutive EGFR signalling due to activating mutations (e.g. EGFRm+ NSCLC) or overexpression (e.g. squamous (sq) NSCLC) is a common mechanism of tumourigenesis. There is biological rationale for combining A + C in tumours with unmet medical need, e.g. EGFRm+ NSCLC with resistance to EGFR-TKIs, and in advanced sqNSCLC. Preclinically, A + C improved anti-tumour activity in EGFRm+ NSCLC vs A or C alone. Here we report outcomes from two Phase Ib studies of A + C: NCT01090011 (study 1) in pts with EGFRm+ NSCLC resistant to gefitinib/erlotinib (G/E); and NCT02020577 (study 2) in unselected pts with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumours, including sqNSCLC.

      Methods:
      Study 1 comprised a dose-finding phase to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of A + C, and an expansion phase (EP) in which 126 pts received the MTD of A 40 mg/day + C 500 mg/m[2] Q2W. In study 2, 9 pts received A + C in a dose-escalation phase, and a further 49 pts received the MTD of A 40 mg/day + C 250 mg/m[2]/week in an EP, including 12 pts with sqNSCLC.

      Results:
      Drug-related adverse events (DR-AEs; all grades) were reported in 99% of pts in the EP of study 1 (n = 126), and 98% of pts in study 2 (n = 58). Grade 3/4/5 DR-AEs were experienced by 44%/2%/2% of pts in study 1 and 31%/3%/0% in study 2. DR-AEs led to discontinuation of treatment in 14% of pts in study 1 and 12% in study 2. Efficacy in pts with NSCLC is shown in the table. In the study 1 EP, ORR was 29% and median PFS was 4.7 months; there were no significant differences in ORR or median PFS in pts with T790M+ vs T790M- tumours (32 vs 25% [p = 0.341] and 4.6 vs 4.8 months [p = 0.643], respectively). Median duration of OR was 5.7 months. In the study 2 EP, 75% of pts with sqNSCLC had SD, and median PFS was 11.9 weeks.

      Conclusions:
      Based on the demonstrated antitumour activity and a predictable/manageable safety profile, A + C may be a treatment option in pts with EGFRm+ NSCLC and acquired resistance to G/E (irrespective of T790M status) or with pre-treated advanced sqNSCLC. rnTable: 86OEfficacy outcomesrn

      88O - CNS activity of ensartinib in ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) (ID 461)

      17:48 - 18:00  |  Author(s): L. Horn

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      Ensartinib (X-396) is a potent ALK small molecule TKI with additional activity against MET, ABL, Axl, EPHA2, LTK, ROS1 and SLK. In animal studies, CNS concentration of ensartinib in mice given at the therapeutic dose was 4 times higher than the IC50 for growth inhibition of ALK+ cells in vitro. Ensartinib was significantly more effective than crizotinib (C) at inhibiting the intracranial (IC) growth of the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model harboring the F1174L mutation. We subsequently evaluated the CNS activity of ensartinib in pts with ALK+ NSCLC.

      Methods:
      In this multicenter phase I/II study, pts with ALK+ NSCLC were enrolled and given ensartinib orally on a continuous 28-day schedule. 225 mg QD was selected for further evaluation. Pts enrolled with asymptomatic CNS metastases (with or without systemic disease) who were ALK TKI naïve or had received prior C or a 2nd generation ALK TKI were allowed to enroll. Overall and systemic response was assessed using RECIST 1.1. CNS response was assessed using modified RANO criteria. Pts with only CNS disease had to have at least 1 measurable target lesion ≥ 3 mm in diameter.

      Results:
      26 pts with ALK+ NSCLC and baseline CNS metastases were treated at ≥ 200 mg. Of the 26 pts, 13 pts had baseline target lesions, and 13 pts had only non-target lesions. CNS responses were observed in ALK TKI naïve pts and pts that received prior C or a 2[nd] generation ALK TKI. In the 13 pts with baseline target CNS lesions, IC response rate (RR) was 69%, including 1 CR, and 31% had SD, a 100% disease control rate. In the 13 pts with only non-target baseline lesions, 1 CR was achieved and 8 pts had SD. The IC RR in the 3 ALK TKI naïve pts with baseline target lesions was 100%, and 62% in 8 pts that received prior C only. Of 2 pts with baseline target lesions who received a prior 2[nd] generation ALK TKI, 1 had a PR and 1 SD. Median duration of IC response in the 10 pts who responded (9 with target lesions, 1 with non-target lesions only) is 5.8+ months, with the longest duration being 24 months.

      Conclusions:
      Our clinical findings support the preclinical results that the use of ensartinib may result in favorable therapeutic outcomes in pts with ALK+ NSCLC with CNS metastases. The ongoing phase III eXalt3 study will assess CNS RR and time to CNS progression in pts receiving 1st-line ensartinib vs C.
