MA04.01 - Non-Amplification Mutation of ERBB2 in EGFR-Mutated Lung Cancer (ID 6138)
16:00 - 16:06 | Author(s): R. Hoyer
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Amplification of ERBB2 in EGFR-mutant lung cancers is a reported mechanism of acquired resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of NSCLC tumors shows mutation of ERBB2, most often affecting the encoded HER2 receptor at residue S310, is also prevalent, particularly in the context of EGFR L858R.
Methods:
CGP was performed on hybridization-captured, adaptor ligation-based libraries for up to 315 cancer-related genes plus select introns from 28 genes frequently rearranged in cancer on 14,887 consecutive cases of lung cancer. All classes of genomic alterations (GA) were assessed simultaneously, including base substitutions, indels, rearrangements/fusions, and copy number changes. Short variants (SV) include base substitutions or indels.
Results:
A total of 2,516 (16.9%) samples featured EGFR alterations, including amplification (amp) and SV. Of these, 2.9% (73/2,516) harbored alterations in ERBB2 (amp and/or SV). 18 samples (0.7%) harbored SV alterations in ERBB2, 14 of which were mutations at S310. ERBB2 S310 mutations were most often found with EGFR L858R. The ratio of observed to expected mutation at HER2 S310 in EGFR-mutated lung cancers was 2.12, and the ratio for HER2 S310 in combination with EGFR L858R was 5.03. The co-occurrence of HER2 S310 and EGFR L858R was highly significant (p<0.00005). The combination of EGFR and ERBB2 alterations was more common in women. The ratio of male:female patients with any lung cancer in this dataset was 1:1.1, whereas the ratio of male:female with any EGFR alteration was 1:1.7 and for both EGFR and ERBB2 alterations (amp or SV) was 1:3.4. Patients with a combination of EGFR and ERBB2 alterations have been shown to respond to treatment with the pan-ERBB inhibitor afatinib, or combinations of afatinib with the HER2-targeted therapy trastuzumab.
Conclusion:
Short variant alterations in ERBB2 may be an additional mechanism for tumors to acquire resistance to treatment with EGFR-targeted TKIs. Mutations at residue S310, in the extracellular domain of HER2, are the most common ERBB2 SV observed in EGFR-mutant lung cancer, and are significantly associated with EGFR L858R. The co-occurence of alterations in ERBB2 and EGFR is far more common in women than in men. Treatment with the pan-ERBB inhibitor afatinib, alone or in combination with agents targeting HER2, has been shown to benefit patients with lung cancer harboring mutations in both EGFR and ERBB2.

P1.07-002 - G1T28, a Cyclin Dependent Kinase 4/6 Inhibitor, in Combination with Topotecan for Previously Treated Small Cell Lung Cancer: Preliminary Results (ID 5213)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): R. Hoyer
- Abstract
Background:
Chemotherapy-induced bone marrow and immune system toxicity causes significant acute and long-term consequences. G1T28 is a potent and selective CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) in development to reduce chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and preserve immune system function in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are dependent upon CDK4/6 for proliferation, and preclinical models demonstrated that transient G1T28-induced G~1~ cell cycle arrest renders them resistant to chemotherapy cytotoxicity, allowing faster hematopoietic recovery, preservation of long-term stem cell and immune system function, and enhancement of chemotherapy anti-tumor activity.
Methods:
Objectives of this ongoing multicenter Phase 1b/2a study are to assess the dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), safety, hematological profile, PK, and anti-tumor activity of G1T28 in combination with topotecan (NCT02514447). The study consists of a limited open-label, dose-finding portion (Part 1; up to 40 patients), and an open‑label, single-arm expansion portion (Part 2; 28 patients). Eligible patients had histologically/cytologically confirmed SCLC, adequate organ function, ECOG performance status 0-2, 1-2 prior lines of chemotherapy, and no symptomatic brain metastases. G1T28, at a starting dose of 200 mg/m[2] (derived from the Phase 1a healthy volunteer study and expected to maintain HSPC G1 arrest beyond topotecan exposure), was administered IV prior to IV topotecan on days 1-5 every 21-days.
Results:
21 patients (median age 68, 5 females, 20 white and 1 African-American) have been enrolled across 5 cohorts. DLTs due to Grade 3/4 myelotoxicity occurred in the first two cohorts and were associated with supra-therapeutic topotecan exposures due to decreased topotecan clearance by G1T28. Reducing the topotecan dose achieved exposures in the therapeutic range and was well tolerated. No episodes of febrile neutropenia or bleeding have occurred to date. For the 17 evaluable patients, there were 5 PR, 8 SD, and 4 PD. In the 6 platinum refractory patients there were 1 PR, 3 SD, and 2 PD.
Conclusion:
G1T28, a novel CDK4/6i, combined with topotecan for previously treated SCLC patients has been well tolerated, without any episodes of febrile neutropenia or bleeding. There are encouraging early signs of anti-tumor activity, with a response rate of 29% overall (36%, 4/11 in sensitive and 17%, 1/6 in refractory) and a clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD) of 76% overall (82%, 9/11 in sensitive and 67%, 4/6 in refractory). This novel approach, allowing the administration of chemotherapy with preservation of hematopoietic function and cellular immunity, could potentially improve treatment outcomes of patients with CDK4/6-independent tumors. Updated data will be presented.
