MA07.05 - EUCROSS: A European Phase II Trial of Crizotinib in Advanced Adenocarcinoma of the Lung Harboring ROS1 Rearrangements - Preliminary Results (ID 4451)
11:30 - 11:36 | Author(s): J. Corral
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
ROS1 rearrangements are present in the tumors of 1-2% of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LAD). This patient subgroup is characterized by non-smoking history and younger than average age compared to the overall NSCLC population. In a phase I trial the ALK/ROS1/MET inhibitor crizotinib has shown to be highly effective in these patients (NCT00585195). EUCROSS is a prospective phase II trial of the Lung Cancer Group Cologne in collaboration with the Spanish Lung Cancer Group to evaluate crizotinib in ROS1-positive LAD. Here, we present preliminary data on efficacy and safety.
Methods:
Patients with advanced LAD harboring ROS1 rearrangements as confirmed by central FISH were eligible for the trial irrespectively of the number of prior treatment lines. Patients received treatment with crizotinib 250 mg BID - doses were adapted for management of AEs. Trial design: Fleming’s single stage phase II design. Primary endpoint: ORR (95% CI, H~0~: ORR≤20% vs. H~1~: ORR>20%). Secondary endpoints: a.o. PFS, OS and safety. All efficacy endpoints were assessed by investigator’s RECIST v1.1 and will be analyzed by IRB at a later stage. Baseline tumor tissue was analyzed by DNA-sequencing to identify the translocation Partners of ROS1, to validate FISH results and to identify additional biomarkers for prediction of response. Data-cut off for this report was March 2016.
Results:
In total, 34 patients were enrolled in EUCROSS at the time of data cut-off. Twenty-nine patients were eligible for efficacy assessment. Tumor tissue of 20 of these patients was suitable for further sequencing - 18 were sequenced positive for ROS1 fusion. The fusion partners involved were CD74 (N=9;50%), EZR (N=4;22%), SCL34A2 (N=3;17%), TPM3 and SDC4(N=1;6% each). The investigator assessed ORR was 69% (95% CI, 49.1-84.3) in the overall trial population and 83% (95% CI, 67.7-94.2) in the ROS1-positive by sequencing population (N=18;P=0.324 for difference of ORR). Three patients (10.3%;95% CI, 3.6-26.4) exhibited primary progression, two of them were sequenced ROS1-negative. All patients were included in the safety population (N=34). Most common AEs irrespectively of relatedness or grade were visual disorders (N=16;48%), edema (N=14;41%), diarrhea (N=13;38%) and bradycardia (N=11;32%).
Conclusion:
Crizotinib is a highly effective and safe treatment in the subset of ROS1 rearranged NSCLC patients as determined by FISH and DNA-sequencing. Although, the number of patients with tissue available for sequencing was low at the time of data cut-off, sensitivity and specificity support sequencing as the potential new gold-standard for the identification of clinically relevant ROS1 gene-rearrangements.

OA11.02 - Randomized Phase 1b/3 Study of Erlotinib plus Ramucirumab in First-Line EGFR Mut + Stage IV NSCLC: Phase 1b Safety Results (ID 3827)
12:10 - 12:20 | Author(s): J. Corral
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Ramucirumab, an antiangiogenic IgG1 VEGFR2-targeted monoclonal antibody, and erlotinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, are both active in advanced NSCLC. This global phase 1b/3 study (NCT02411448) will assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of the combination of ramucirumab with erlotinib in previously untreated patients with EGFR mutation-positive stage IV NSCLC. Here we report phase 1b safety results.
Methods:
Eligible patients with ECOG PS 0-1, an activating EGFR mutation, and previously untreated stage IV NSCLC received ramucirumab 10 mg/kg intravenously on day 1 of repeating 14-day (± 3 days) cycle and erlotinib 150 mg orally daily. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary objective of part A was to assess the safety and tolerability, in terms of dose limiting toxicities (DLT), of adding the recommended dose of ramucirumab for phase 3 (part B) to standard dose erlotinib. Data were analyzed separately for Japan (JP) (cohort 1) and US/EU (cohort 2). The DLT assessment occurred during the first 2 cycles (approximately 28 days).
Results:
As of Dec 16th, 2015, 14 patients were treated in the phase 1b part of this trial and 12 were DLT evaluable (6 JP; 6 US/EU). Overall, 6 grade (Gr) 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) were noted, with at least one TEAE in 5 patients; no serious adverse events or Gr 4-5 TEAEs occurred. In the JP cohort the median age was 73 (64-79), 57% had ECOG PS 1 and 29% had a history of smoking. Four patients (57%) experienced a Gr 3 TEAE, of which one was a DLT (elevation of alanine aminotransferase) while the others (hypertension [n=2], dermatitis acneiform, and diarrhea) were not DLTs. In the US/EU cohort the median age was 71 (31-83), 86% had ECOG PS 1, and no patients had a history of smoking. One patient experienced Gr 3 TEAE of rash; no DLTs were observed in this cohort.
Conclusion:
Enrollment on the phase 1b portion of this trial is complete and the safety results were consistent with previous combinations of antiangiogenic/erlotinib in this patient population. No unexpected toxicities were identified. Phase 3 enrollment has been initiated maintaining the dose of ramucirumab at 10 mg/kg Q2W.

P3.02c-034 - A Single Institution Experience with Immunotherapy as an Effective Therapy Approach of Advance Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 3745)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): J. Corral
- Abstract
Background:
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Recent trials results of checkpoint inhibitors have shown that immunotherapy represents a new standard option of care in pretreated patients compared with chemotherapy. Eficacy and toxicity data were assessed in 69 pretreated patients with metastatic NSCLC in our institution.
Methods:
A retrospective, non-interventional study was conducted. 69 patients with advanced NSCLC receiving immunotherapy after one or more prior treatment were enrolled between 2013 and 2015. Patients received PD1 and PDL1 checkpoints inhibitors as compassionate use treatment or as clinical trial therapy.
Results:
69 patients were analysed with a median age of 64y, including 82.6% males, 54.3% squamous histology and 8.7% never-smoker patients. Mutation profile was defined as negative EGFR/ALK in 95% and positive PDL1 in 30.4%. 68.3% of patients received anti-PD1 therapy vs anti-PDL1 inhibitors (31.7%) as clinical trial therapy (63.8%) vs compassionate use (36.2%). 40 patients (58%) received immnotherapy after two o more previous chemotherapy lines. With a median follow-up of 24.9 months, overall objective response rate was 5.8% with a disease control rate of 58%, with no responses seen at never smokers. Estimated 1year-PFS was 27.5%, with a median of 4.5months. There were no statistically significant differences according to histology (41.4% squamous vs 36.1% nonsquamous, P=0.14) or immunotherapy strategie (47.6% with PDL1 vs 38.6% with PDL1 inhibitors, p=0.55). Positive PDL1 was a prognostic factor for 6-month PFS in nonsquamous histology (64.3 % PDL1+ vs 18.8% PDL1-,p= 0.02, HR:0.24). OS was not reached as 37.7% of patients remain on treatment nowadays. The most common grade 1-2 adverse events were fatigue (55%) and anorexia (26%). 13 patients (17.3%) experienced grade 3 toxicity being pneumonitis the most common cause (5.8%).
Conclusion:
Our data are consistent with recent immunotherapy results, showing a clinically meaningful survival benefit vs chemotherapy with similar efficacy and toxicity between PD1 and PDL1 checkpoints inhibitors. PDL1 expression appears to be a prognostic and predictive factor, only for nonsquamous histology.
