OA03.02 - Atezolizumab as 1L Therapy for Advanced NSCLC in PD-L1–Selected Patients: Updated ORR, PFS and OS Data from the BIRCH Study (ID 4799)
11:10 - 11:20 | Author(s): M.L. Johnson
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Atezolizumab, a humanized anti-PDL1 mAb, inhibits the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway to restore tumor-specific T-cell immunity, resulting in durable anti-tumor effects. BIRCH (NCT02031458) is a single-arm Phase II study of atezolizumab monotherapy in PD-L1–selected advanced NSCLC patients, across multiple therapy lines. Primary analyses (median follow-up, 8.5 months) demonstrated a meaningful ORR with durable response in chemotherapy-naive 1L and 2L+ PD-L1–selected patients. Here we report updated efficacy data in 1L patients.
Methods:
1L eligibility criteria included PD-L1–selected, advanced-stage NSCLC with no CNS metastases or prior chemotherapy. PD-L1 was centrally evaluated (VENTANA SP142 IHC assay). Patients expressing PD-L1 on ≥5% of tumor cells (TC) or tumor-infiltrating immune cells (IC), ie, TC2/3 or IC2/3, were enrolled. Patients with EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement must have had prior TKI treatment. Atezolizumab 1200mg was administered IV q3w until radiographic disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was independent review facility(IRF)-assessed ORR. Secondary endpoints included investigator(INV)-assessed ORR, DOR, PFS (RECIST v1.1) and OS.
Results:
With a median follow-up of 14.6 months, median OS was not reached in TC3 or IC3 patients and was 20.1 months in TC2/3 or IC2/3 (ITT) patients; INV-assessed ORR was 32% and 24%, respectively (Table). Furthermore, ORR was 31% for mutant EGFR (n=13) vs 20% for wild-type EGFR patients (n=104), and 27% for mutant KRAS (n=33) vs 21% for wild-type KRAS patients (n=67). No new safety signals were observed. Updated efficacy (including IRF ORR), safety and exploratory biomarker analyses will be presented.
Conclusion:
With longer follow-up, atezolizumab continued to demonstrate promising efficacy in 1L NSCLC. These results indicate that atezolizumab has durable efficacy in the 1L setting, in EGFR and KRAS mutant and wild-type tumors, and support ongoing Phase III trials evaluating atezolizumab vs chemotherapy in 1L NSCLC.

OA05.03 - Single-Agent Rovalpituzumab Tesirine, a Delta-Like Protein 3 (DLL3)-Targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC), in Small-Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) (ID 4648)
14:40 - 14:50 | Author(s): M.L. Johnson
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
SCLC is one of the most deadly malignancies. Rovalpituzumab tesirine (SC16LD6.5, Rova-T) is a first-in-class ADC directed against DLL3, a novel target identified in tumor initiating cells and expressed in over 80% of SCLC cases.
Methods:
Seventy-four patients with progressive SCLC after at least one previous systemic therapy were enrolled in a first-in-human study (NCT01901653), irrespective of DLL3 expression, including 68 at active doses of 0.2-0.4 mg/kg administered intravenously every 3 or 6 weeks. Available archived tumor tissue (n=48) was assessed retrospectively by immunohistochemistry for DLL3.
Results:
Among 60 evaluable subjects, active dose levels resulted in a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 18% and a confirmed clinical benefit rate (CBR; stable disease or better) of 68%. Among 26 evaluable subjects with DLL3 expression in at least 50% of tumor cells (DLL3-high), confirmed ORR and CBR were 39% and 89%, respectively. Median duration of response was 5.6 months. One-year survival rates among all and DLL3-high subjects were 18% and 32%, respectively. Among primary sensitive relapse patients, confirmed ORR and CBR among all subjects were 24% (8/33) and 67% (22/33); and among DLL3-high subjects were 53% (8/15) and 100% (15/15), with one-year survival rates of 17% and 33%, respectively. Among primary resistant/refractory relapse patients, confirmed ORR and CBR among all subjects were 12% (3/25) and 72% (18/25); and among DLL3-high subjects were 18% (2/11) and 73% (8/11), with one-year survival rates of 21% and 29%, respectively. The most common grade 3 or higher toxicities included thrombocytopenia (12%), serosal effusions (11%), and skin reactions (8%). ADC pharmacokinetics were linear with a terminal half-life of 10 - 14 days and anti-therapeutic antibodies did not develop
Conclusion:
Rovalpituzumab tesirine demonstrates encouraging single-agent anti-tumor activity with a manageable safety profile, including among patients with disease resistant or refractory to primary chemotherapy. Further development of rovalpituzumab tesirine in SCLC is warranted.

P2.06-008 - Phase 1/2 Study of Mocetinostat and Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 5521)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): M.L. Johnson
- Abstract
Background:
Immune checkpoint inhibitors produce durable clinical responses in a subset of patients, however strategies are needed to improve clinical efficacy of these agents and overcome innate or acquired resistance to therapy. Growing evidence suggests that tumors evade immune detection through modulation of intrinsic immunogenicity and inhibition of both innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. Mocetinostat, a class I histone deacetylase inhibitor, has multiple potential immunomodulatory features including: 1) induction of tumor associated antigens and major histocompatibility complex Class I and Class II expression on tumor cells, 2) induction of immunogenic cell death via activation and cross-presentation of tumor antigens by antigen presenting cells, 3) enhanced function of T effector cells, and 4) decreased function of immunosuppressive cell subsets including regulatory T cells and myeloid derived suppressor cells. Given these pleiotropic immune activating effects, combination therapy of mocetinostat and PD-L1 blocking mAb, durvalumab, is a rational approach to restoring or enhancing the clinical activity of immune checkpoint blockade in patients with NSCLC.
Methods:
This open-label Phase 1/2 study is evaluating the tolerability and clinical activity of mocetinostat in combination with durvalumab. Secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics, incidence of anti-drug antibodies, and changes in tumor PD-L1 expression. Exploratory objectives evaluate changes in circulating and tumor cell PD-L1, circulating and tumor infiltrating immune cell populations and cytokines. Phase 1 explores increasing doses of mocetinostat administered orally (50, 70, 90 mg three times weekly [TIW]) in combination with durvalumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The regimen begins with a 7-Day Lead-in Period of mocetinostat single agent TIW followed by the combination regimen with durvalumab (1500 mg intravenously every 28 days). Phase 2 evaluates the clinical activity of mocetinostat and durvalumab, as assessed by Objective Response Rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1., in patients with NSCLC who have previously received at least one platinum containing doublet chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease. Four population cohorts are included: 1) immunotherapy naïve, no/low PD-L1 expression, 2) immunotherapy naïve, high PD-L1 expression, 3) prior clinical benefit with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitor treatment followed by progression, 4) prior treatment with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitor with progression within 16 weeks of initiation of treatment. Tumor PD-L1 expression will be determined by the SP263 assay. The sample sizes for the populations are based on two-stage Simon Optimal Designs. Status: Enrollment into the study opened in June 2016. Clinical Trial Information: NCT02805660

P2.06-017 - Amethyst NSCLC Trial: Phase 2 Study of MGCD265 in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC with Activating Genetic Alterations in MET (ID 5384)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): M.L. Johnson
- Abstract
Background:
MGCD265 is a potent, orally available, small molecule RTK inhibitor of MET and Axl, both of which mediate signals for cell growth, survival, and migration. The Amethyst NSCLC trial is designed to evaluate the activity of MGCD265 in patients with NSCLC exhibiting genetic alterations involving MET. Alterations in MET, including gene amplification and/or genetic mutations, occur in approximately 7% of NSCLC cases converting MET to an oncogene capable of driving cancer development and progression. Amplification of MET has been associated with a poor prognosis in NSCLC. In addition, various genetic mutations result in the deletion of exon 14 in MET mRNA (METex14del) and the subsequent loss of the Y1003 regulatory binding site for CBL ubiquitin ligase, required for MET degradation and signal attenuation. Loss of the Y1003 binding site of MET results in sustained MET signaling, which has been implicated as an oncogenic driver in a subset of NSCLC. The importance of MET as a driver is demonstrated in xenograft models of NSCLC with METex14del and MET amplification, and where MGCD265 induces tumor regression. Additionally, confirmed partial responses have been observed in pts with NSCLC characterized by METex14del who were treated with MGCD265 in the Phase 1 setting.
Methods:
Pts with platinum pre-treated NSCLC characterized by activating genetic MET alterations identified in tumor tissue or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are eligible for this multi-center, global, Phase 2 trial. Pts are assigned to one of four cohorts based on the type of MET dysregulation and detection method: 1) mutations in tissue, 2) amplification in tissue, 3) mutations in ctDNA, and 4) amplification in ctDNA. The primary endpoint is Objective Response Rate (ORR) in accordance with RECIST 1.1; a Bayesian Predictive Probability Design is applied independently to each cohort. Secondary objectives include safety, tolerability, response duration, survival, correlation between tissue and ctDNA testing, and PK/PD. This study is currently open globally, and recruitment is ongoing.

P3.02c-041 - IMpower133: A Phase I/III Study of 1L Atezolizumab with Carboplatin and Etoposide in Patients with Extensive-Stage SCLC (ID 4789)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): M.L. Johnson
- Abstract
Background:
Platinum-based chemotherapy with etoposide is the current first-line (1L) standard of care for the majority of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Although initial response rates with chemotherapy range from 50% to 70%, survival outcomes remain poor (median overall survival [mOS] < 1 year), and new treatment approaches are needed. Atezolizumab is an anti–PDL1 monoclonal antibody that inhibits the binding of PD-L1 to its receptors PD-1 and B7.1, thereby restoring anti-tumor T-cell activity. In a Phase Ia study, single-agent atezolizumab demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and promising durability of response in patients with ES-SCLC: confirmed ORR was 6% (n = 1/17 [partial response]; DOR of 7 months) by RECIST v1.1 and 24% by immune-related response criteria (irRC) (n = 4/17, with 2 patients on atezolizumab for ≥ 12 months). In addition, pre-clinical and Phase I data suggest that atezolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC may be synergistic, resulting in durable responses that could potentially translate into improved survival over monotherapy alone. Taken together, these findings provide a rationale to investigate whether atezolizumab + carboplatin + etoposide can improve survival compared with carboplatin + etoposide in the 1L treatment of ES-SCLC.
Methods:
IMpower133 (NCT02763579) is a global, Phase I/III, randomized, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab + carboplatin + etoposide with that of placebo + carboplatin + etoposide in treatment-naive patients with ES-SCLC. Patients will be enrolled regardless of PD-L1 expression status. Exclusion criteria include untreated CNS metastases, autoimmune disease or prior anti-cancer therapy for ES-SCLC. The study stratification factors include sex, ECOG performance status and presence of CNS metastases. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive four 21-day cycles of atezolizumab (1200 mg IV) or placebo in combination with carboplatin (AUC 5 mg/mL/min IV, day 1) and etoposide (100 mg/m[~2~], days 1-3), followed by maintenance with atezolizumab or placebo until PD per RECIST v1.1. Patients can continue with treatment until persistent radiographic PD, symptomatic deterioration or unacceptable toxicity. Co-primary endpoints of investigator-assessed progression-free survival per RECIST v1.1 and OS will be evaluated. Secondary efficacy endpoints include ORR and DOR. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed. Approximately 400 patients will be enrolled in this trial.
