Background
NSCLC may utilize PD-L1 overexpression to escape immune surveillance. This mechanism has been suggested by recent clinical studies showing that NSCLC can respond to PD-L1/PD-1 blockade. MPDL3280A, a human monoclonal antibody containing an engineered Fc-domain designed to optimize efficacy and safety, aims to restore tumor-specific T-cell immunity by blocking PD-L1 from binding to its receptors, PD-1 and B7.1.Methods
Patients received MPDL3280A IV q3w for up to 1 year in a Phase I dose escalation/expansion study. Objective response rate (ORR) was assessed by RECIST v1.1 and included unconfirmed/confirmed responses. EGFR and KRAS status was initially assessed locally by investigators. Archival tissue was analyzed centrally for PD-L1 expression by IHC.Results
As of Feb 1, 2013, 52 NSCLC patients were evaluable for safety and treated at doses of 0.03-20 mg/kg. The median age of patients was 61 years (range, 24-83). 17 (33%) of patients were ECOG PS 0 and 35 (67%) of patients were ECOG PS 1. Prior treatments included surgery (89%), radiotherapy (54%) and systemic therapy (98%). 15% of patients received 1 prior regimen, 21% received 2 and 62% received ≥3. Additionally, 14%, 62% and 25% of patients were EGFR-mutation positive, EGFR WT and EGFR status unknown/undetermined, respectively, and 12%, 40% and 48% of patients were KRAS-mutation positive, KRAS WT and KRAS status unknown/undetermined, respectively. Patients received treatment with MPDL3280A for a median duration of 106 days (range 1-450). Treatment-related Gr3/4 AEs occurred in 12% of patients, including fatigue (4%) and hypoxia (4%). 1 patient experienced a Gr3/4 immune-related AE (Gr3 hyperglycemia). No Gr3-5 pneumonitis or diarrhea was reported. 41 NSCLC patients first dosed at 1-20 mg/kg prior to Aug 1, 2012, were evaluable for efficacy. An ORR of 22% (9/41) was observed in patients (squamous [n=9]/nonsquamous [n=31]) with a duration of response range of 1+ to 214+ days. Additional patients had nonconventional responses after apparent radiographic progression but were considered to have progressive disease in this analysis. All responses were ongoing or improving at data cutoff. The 24-week PFS was 46%. ORR by patient characteristics was also examined. The ORR for patients with ≤2 prior therapies was 23% (4/17) and 23% (5/22) for patients with >2 prior therapies. Additionally, the response for former/current smokers was 23% (8/35) versus 17% (1/6) for never smokers. Between EGFR-mutation positive and EGFR WT patients, the ORRs also did not differ (25% [1/4] and 19% [5/26], respectively). In contrast, PD-L1 status was associated with ORR response as patients with PD-L1–positive tumors had an ORR of 80% (4/5) and patients with PD-L1–negative tumors had an ORR of 14% (4/28). Updated data, including responses by KRAS status, will be presented.Conclusion
Treatment with MPDL3280A was generally well tolerated, with no cases of Gr3-5 pneumonitis. Rapid and durable responses were observed, including in an EGFR-mutation positive patient. Responses to MPDL3280A did not appear influenced by the number of prior treatment regimens but did appear to be associated with PD-L1 tumor status. Additional studies have been initiated in NSCLC.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO18.02 - Preliminary clinical safety and activity of MK-3475 monotherapy for the treatment of previously treated patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 2416)

Background
Currently approved cytotoxic chemotherapies for previously treated patients with NSCLC demonstrate few objective responses, which are generally of short duration, with limited impact on progression-free survival and overall survival. Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is an inhibitory T-cell co-receptor whose activation by interaction with its ligands, PD-L1 or PD-L2, can lead to suppression of antitumor immunity. Preclinical and clinical data indicate that this pathway is important in NSCLC.MK-3475 is a humanized monoclonal IgG4 antibody against PD-1.Methods
MK-3475 was administered at 10 mg/kg every three weeks to patients with NSCLC previously treated with two systemic regimens. At least one measurable tumor lesion, ECOG performance status of zero or one, and adequate laboratory function were required for eligibility. A new tumor biopsy no earlier than 60 days before the first dose of MK-3475 was required for study entry. Imaging assessments per investigators were performed every nine weeks until confirmed disease progression utilizing the immune-related response criteria (irRC). Independent central review of images was assessed with RECIST v1.1. PD-L1 expression on the pretreatment tumor sample was determined by immunohistochemistry. A cut-point associated with the Youden Index of the receiver-operating characteristic curve for PD-L1 staining was identified.Results
Between April 2012 and September 2012, thirty-eight patients were enrolled. Median age was 63 years (range, 34-85 years), with 42% men and 42% with an ECOG performance status of zero. Previously treated, stable brain metastases were allowed and were present in 10%. Seven patients had an EGFR mutation, eight patients had a KRAS mutation, and one patient had an ALK gene rearrangement in their tumor. Fifty percent of patients experienced drug-related adverse events; the most common were fatigue, rash, and pruritus (16% each). The incidence of diarrhea was 13% (only grade 1 or 2 reported). One case of a drug-related grade 3-4 adverse event (grade 3 pulmonary edema: 3%) was seen. There were no drug-related fatalities. Using investigator-assessed irRC, the objective response rate (ORR; confirmed and unconfirmed) was 24%, including squamous and nonsquamous subtypes. Similar results were obtained using RECIST v1.1, yielding an ORR (confirmed and unconfirmed) of 21%. Most responses by irRC were observed by the time of first planned assessment at Week 9. The median duration of response by irRC has not been reached, with a median duration of follow-up of 9 months (minimum, 6 months). As of June 2013, seven of the nine responding patients by irRC continue on therapy. Pretreatment tumor PD-L1 expression was a statistically significant predictor of response. In patients with evaluable tumor PD-L1 expression, all confirmed responses by RECIST v1.1 (and irRC) occurred in patients with tumors strongly positive for PD-L1.Conclusion
MK-3475 is generally well tolerated in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC and provides durable objective responses. An additional cohort of patients whose tumors express PD-L1 is enrolling; preliminary safety and efficacy data, including PFS and OS, will be reported further at the World Conference on Lung Cancer 2013.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Blockade of programmed death-1 (PD-1), a co-inhibitory receptor expressed by activated T cells, can overcome immune resistance and mediate tumor regression (Topalian S, et al. New Engl J Med. 2012;366:2443-54). We present long-term safety and efficacy outcomes from a phase 1 study of nivolumab, a fully human IgG4 PD-1 receptor blocking monoclonal antibody, in patients with advanced NSCLC.Methods
NSCLC patients enrolled between 2008–2012 received nivolumab 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg IV Q2W on either dose escalation or subsequent expansion cohorts. Tumors were assessed (RECIST 1.0) after each 4-dose cycle. Protocol was amended (Jan. 23, 2012) to explore nivolumab’s potential to deliver prolonged overall survival (OS) for the initial and expansion cohorts and the overall population.Results
129 pretreated NSCLC patients (non-squamous [n=74], squamous [n=54], unknown histology [n=1]) were treated as of March 2013. Responses (CR/PR) occurred in 22 patients (17%) and were durable (estimated median response duration, 74.0 weeks [6.1+, 133.9+]), and ongoing in 55% (12/22) of patients. The highest objective response rate (ORR) was at 3 mg/kg (24%) across NSCLC histologies. Responses were rapid; 50% of patients (11/22) demonstrated response at first tumor assessment (8 weeks). Among 12 responders who discontinued therapy for reasons other than disease progression, 3 responded for ≥24 weeks post therapy discontinuation, and all 3 had not progressed at the time of this analysis. An additional 6 of the 122 patients (5%) demonstrated unconventional “immune-related” responses (based on target lesions), but were not included among responders. Survival benefit was demonstrated by 1-year and 2-year landmark OS rates (42% and 14%; Table). Median OS was 9.6 months across doses and 14.9 months at 3 mg/kg across histologies. Median OS across doses was similar for squamous/non-squamous patients. Any grade drug-related select adverse events (AEs) occurred in 41% (53/129) of patients (grade 3/4 select AEs, 5% [6/129]); most common being skin (16%), gastrointestinal (12%), and pulmonary (7%). Any grade drug-related pneumonitis occurred in 6% (8/129) of patients (grade 3/4 pneumonitis, 2% [3/129]), resulting in 2 deaths early in the trial, leading to increased emphasis on management algorithms. Characteristics and management of nivolumab-related pneumonitis will be summarized.Cohort Dose, mg/kg ORR[a] no. of patients/total no. of patients (%) [95% CI] Estimated median response duration, wk (range) Median OS,[b] mo (95% CI) OS rate, % (95% CI); patients at risk, n 1 y 2 y NSCLC (n=129)[c] All doses 22/129 (17.1) [11.0, 24.7] 74.0 (6.1+, 133.9+) 9.6 (7.8, 12.4) 42 (33, 51); 43 14 (4, 24); 5 1 1/33 (3.0) [0.1, 15.8] 63.9 (63.9, 63.9) 9.2 (5.6, 11.1) 3 9/37 (24.3) [11.8, 41.2] NR (16.1+, 133.9+) 14.9 (9.5, NE) 10 12/59 (20.3) [11.0, 32.8] 83.1 (6.1+, 117.1+) 9.2 (5.2, 12.4) Initial cohort (n=19) All doses 9.6 (4.5, 19.8) 42 (20, 64); 8 26 (7, 46); 5 Expansion cohort (n=110) All doses 9.9 (7.8, 12.5) 42 (32, 51); 35 Squamous (n=54) All doses 9/54 (16.7) [7.9, 29.3] NR (16.1, 133.9+) 9.2 (7.3, 12.5) 39 (25, 53); 16 1 0/15 0 8.0 (2.6, 13.3) 3 4/18 (22.2) [6.4, 47.6] NR (16.1, 133.9+) 9.5 (6.7, NE) 10 5/21 (23.8) [8.2, 47.2] 83.1 (16.1, 117+) 10.5 (7.8, 12.5) Non-squamous (n=74) All doses 13/74 (17.6) [9.7, 28.2] 63.9 (6.1+, 74.0+) 10.1 (7.2, 13.7) 43 (31, 54); 26 1 1/18 (5.6) [0.1, 27.3] 63.9 (63.9, 63.9) 9.9 (5.6, 22.7) 3 5/19 (26.3) [9.1, 51.2] 74.0 (24.3, 74.0+) 18.2 (10.3, 18.2) 10 7/37 (18.9) [8.0, 35.2] NR (6.1+, 65.7+) 7.4 (4.6, 12.4) [a]ORR = ([CR + PR] ÷ n) × 100.[b]OS estimates after 1 year reflect censoring and shorter follow-up for patients enrolling later in the study.[c]Non-squamous (n=74), squamous (n=54), and unknown histology (n=1) NE = not estimable; NR = not reached. Conclusion
In advanced NSCLC patients, nivolumab produced durable responses and survival benefit (1-year OS rate, 42%), with a long-term safety profile acceptable for the outpatient setting, supporting ongoing development in phase 3 trials with survival endpoints. Additional follow-up on patient survival will be presented at the time of the meeting.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO19.09 - Molecular correlates of PD-L1 status and predictive biomarkers in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with the anti-PDL1 antibody MPDL3280A (ID 1653)
11:20 - 11:25 | Author(s): L. Gandhi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
In NSCLC, antitumor immune response may be inhibited by PD-L1 expression. MPDL3280A, a human monoclonal antibody containing an engineered Fc-domain designed to optimize efficacy and safety, aims to restore tumor-specific T-cell immunity by blocking PD-L1 binding to its receptors, PD-1 and B7.1.Methods
Patients with squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC received MPDL3280A IV q3w up to 1 year as part of a phase I dose escalation/expansion study. Objective response rate (ORR) was assessed by RECIST v1.1 and included unconfirmed/confirmed responses. EGFR and KRAS status was initially assessed locally by investigators. Archival tumor tissues were evaluated centrally by IHC for PD-L1 and CD8. A qPCR-based gene expression panel measuring ≈90 immune-related genes was used to characterize the tumor immune microenvironment at baseline and during MPDL3280A treatment.Results
41 NSCLC patients first dosed at 1-20 mg/kg prior to Aug 1, 2012, were evaluable for efficacy with an ORR of 22%. Baseline tumor samples were available for IHC (n=33) and for gene expression analysis (n=29). Of patients with available tissue, 5 were PD-L1 tumor status positive and 28 were PD-L1 tumor status negative. Relationship between PD-L1 status and EGFR/KRAS status is described below (table). Elevated baseline PD-L1 expression was associated with response to MPDL3280A (80% ORR vs 14% ORR for PD-L1negative patients), and PD-L1 expression coordinated with CD8+ T cells. A Th1-type T-cell gene signature (including CD8, Granzyme-B and EOMES) was associated with treatment response. Non-responders exhibited at least a 2-fold higher ratio over CD8 of genes associated with immunosuppression, including RORC, FOXP3, TGFb1 and IL10 compared with responders. On treatment, responding tumors across indications showed increasing PD-L1 expression and a Th1-dominant immune infiltrate, providing evidence for adaptive PD-L1 up-regulation.Conclusion
PD-L1 expression and a Th1 driven T-cell gene signature correlated with response to MPDL3280A in NSCLC, and MPDL3280A therapy led to T-cell reactivation and restored antitumor immunity. Additionally, expression of immune suppressive factors in NSCLC tumors is associated with a lack of benefit from MPDL3280A. These data provide mechanistic insights into immunotherapy and patient selection for MPDL3280A monotherapy. Preliminary observations suggest clinical activity and molecular characteristics may be associated with PD-L1 tumor expression. Updated data will be presented.

- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a tyrosine kinase constitutively activated following chromosomal translocation in 3-7% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These patients usually respond to the ALK inhibitor crizotinib with a median duration of response around 10 months. CH5424802 is a more potent and specific ALK inhibitor that is being studied as a treatment for NSCLC patients with ALK gene rearrangement.Methods
A phase 1 dose escalation study of CH5424802 was performed using 3+3 study design in NSCLC patients who failed crizotinib. The primary endpoint was dose limiting toxicity, and the secondary endpoints were efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses. Key eligibility criteria include prior progression on crizotinib, ECOG 0-2, adequate organ functions, confirmed ALK-rearrangement by an FDA approved test. Patients with symptomatic CNS metastases required treatment before participating. CH5424802 was administered orally at doses of 300, 460, 600, 760 and 900 mg BID until lack of clinical benefits. Intensive PK sampling was performed. Efficacy was assessed by RECIST criteria v1.1. Toxicities were evaluated by CTCAE v4.0.Results
37 NSCLC patients who have failed crizotinib and chemotherapy were enrolled in the study from 6 US sites from May 2012 to May 2013. No DLTs were observed up to the highest dose tested (900 mg BID). Only 1 patient required dose modification due to grade 2 fatigue. The most common AEs were fatigue, CPK increase, myalgia, cough, ALT increased, peripheral edema and rash. Grade 3/4 AEs include GGT increase (n=3), neutrophil decrease (n=2), hypophosphatemia, hyperglycemia, syncope, renal failure and pericardial effusion (n=1 each), but no grade 3 nausea, vomit, diarrhea, edema were reported. Preliminary efficacy was observed with PR 48% and SD 34% by investigator assessment amongst the 30 evaluable patients (See Figure of Waterfall plot). Median progression-free survival has not been reached with 27 patients (73%) remaining on study as of June 10, 2013 (median duration 85 days, range 39-347+ days). CNS activity was observed and described in the companion abstract by Ou et al. CH5424802 single dose half-life was approximately 22 hr, AUC was dose-dependent from 300 to 600 mg BID following multiple doses with a potential plateau at doses higher than 600 mg BID based on available data.Figure 1Conclusion
CH5424802 is a well-tolerated ALK inhibitor with no DLTs observed up to the highest dose tested in this study. Promising anti-tumor activity was observed in patients who have failed crizotinib.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
Disease progression in brain occurs in ~50% ALK-rearranged NSCLC patients treated with crizotinib. This is likely due in part to low penetration of crizotinib into CNS. CH5424802 is a new ALK inhibitor that is effective in patients who have ALK re-arrangement. Preclinical studies in CNS implantation models suggest a promising anti-tumor activity of CH5424802 against CNS lesions. This report describes CNS activity observed in an ongoing phase I/II clinical trial.Methods
A phase I dose escalation study of CH5424802 was performed in ALK-rearranged NSCLC who have failed crizotinib. Patients received oral CH5424802 doses ranging from 300 to 900 mg BID. All patients had head CT/MRI and body CT scans at baseline, and every 6 weeks after initiation of treatment if baseline scans are positive for brain metastasis. Brain lesions without prior radiation were used to assess CNS response based on modified RECIST criteria. Simultaneous collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma PK samples in selective patients is ongoing to evaluate CSF/plasma CH5424802 ratios to correlate with clinical activity in brain metastasis.Results
As of June 6, 2013, 37 patients were enrolled in the phase I study, and 31 of them were evaluable for efficacy. Preliminary overall response rate (ORR) is ~48% (15/31) in evaluable patients. 16 had brain metastases at baseline, and 2 had no prior brain irradiation but all had documented CNS progression prior to study treatment. These 16 patients received CH5424802 at 300mg (n=2), 460mg (n=2), 600mg (n=5), 760mg (n=3), and 900mg (n=4) BID. The median duration of follow-up of these 16 patients was 130+ days, with the longest being 347+ days. Activity against CNS lesions was observed as early as the first scan (3[rd] week). The preliminary CNS response is highly promising as shown in the representative scans below. Enrollment is still ongoing and CNS progression-free survival (PFS) will be presented. Currently 2 patients had simultaneous CSF and plasma levels of CH5424802, and the CSF/plasma ratios will be reported to evaluate any correlation between CSF/plasma ratios and the observed clinical activity of CH5424802 in brain metastasis.Figure 1Conclusion
CH5424802 demonstrates consistent and rapid clinical activity in brain metastases in ALK+ NSCLC patients who progressed on crizitinib. Within 3-6 weeks of treatment, CH5424802 dramatically shrinks brain lesions that progressed on crizotinib. CH5424802 could potentially replace or delay the need of brain radiation in ALK-positive NSCLC patients.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

P1.11-037 - Phase II activity of the HSP90 inhibitor AUY922 in patients with EGFR-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 2730)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): L. Gandhi
- Abstract
Background
AUY922 is a highly potent, non-geldanamycin, HSP90 inhibitor. HSP90 is a molecular chaperone of oncogenic client proteins relevant in NSCLC pathogenesis, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is mutated in 10% of NSCLC cases in the Western population, and in 30% of NSCLC cases in the Asian population. We report here a subgroup analysis of data from the 2 EGFR mutation strata of a Phase II study of AUY922 in patients with previously treated, advanced NSCLC stratified by molecular status.Methods
Patients with advanced NSCLC who progressed following ≥1 prior line of therapy, received AUY922 (70 mg/m[2]) as a once-weekly, 1-hour infusion. Patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC were divided into 2 strata: pretreated EGFR-mutant (>2 prior regimens), or less-heavily treated EGFR-mutant (≤2 prior regimens and documented response to an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor [TKI]). The primary endpoint was confirmed response, stable disease at 18 weeks, or no clinical benefit. Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety/tolerability.Results
At the cut-off date of 14 March 2013, 66 patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC had been treated (median age 58 years; 67% female; 94% adenocarcinoma; EGFR-initial stratum n=35; less-heavily pretreated EGFR-mutant stratum n=31); all patients had been pretreated with an EGFR TKI. Clinical activity of AUY922 was seen, with any responses (investigator assessed), in 12/66 (18.2%) patients. A total of 34/66 (51.5%) patients had a best overall response of stable disease or non-confirmed partial response; of these patients, 11 (32%) had stable disease for ≥18 weeks. The 18-week PFS rate was 39% in all patients with ≤2 prior lines of therapy (n=43), and 28% in all patients (n=21) who had received >2 lines of therapy. The most frequent adverse events (AEs; any grade, regardless of study drug relationship) were diarrhea (73%), nausea (47%), decreased appetite (38%), fatigue (35%), and headache and night blindness (both 29%). Most AEs were Grade 1 or 2; Grade 3 or 4 AEs included diarrhea (9%), and fatigue, decreased appetite, and hyponatremia (all 6%).Conclusion
AUY922 had an acceptable safety profile. Strong evidence of clinical activity was demonstrated in EGFR TKI-pretreated patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Median PFS, OS and biomarker data for the EGFR-mutant stratum will be presented.
