P3.02b-045 - Patritumab plus Erlotinib in EGFR Wild-Type Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Part a Results of HER3-Lung Study (ID 5473)

- Abstract
Background:
Patritumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits human epidermal growth factor receptor 3. In a subgroup analysis of the phase 2 HERALD study, addition of patritumab to erlotinib increased progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced NSCLC patients with high tumor expression of heregulin mRNA (HRG-High); a similar safety profile was seen with patritumab+erlotinib versus erlotinib. This 2-part, phase 3 study (HER3-Lung) investigated erlotinib±patritumab in advanced, EGFR wild-type NSCLC patients previously treated with a platinum doublet. The primary objective of Part A was to confirm PFS improvement in HRG-High subjects.
Methods:
HER3-Lung was a 2-part, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. Subjects aged ≥20 years with known HRG expression, advanced NSCLC previously treated with 1–2 systemic therapies including a platinum doublet, and EGFR wild-type (if adenocarcinoma histology) were eligible. Subjects were stratified by HRG expression, histology subtype (adenocarcinoma, squamous-cell carcinoma/NOS), ECOG performance status (0–1), and best response to most recent therapy (CR/PR/SD, PD). Within each stratum, subjects were randomized 1:1 to erlotinib+patritumab or erlotinib+placebo.
Results:
One-hundred forty-five subjects were randomized, and 125 had discontinued study treatment prior to the data cutoff date. Most common reason for discontinuation was progressive disease (n=70). In the erlotinib+patritumab and erlotinib+placebo arms, respectively, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) grade ≥3 were reported in 40.5% and 46.5% and any grade serious TEAEs in 35.1% and 36.6% of subjects. Most common TEAEs (by subject) in the erlotinib+patritumab and erlotinib+placebo arms, respectively, were diarrhea (51.4%, 31%) and rash (37.8%, 36.6%). Patritumab did not increase erlotinib efficacy in the intent-to-treat group or HRG subgroups (Table). The study was stopped at the end of Part A because efficacy criteria to proceed into Part B were not reached.
Conclusion:
HER-3Lung did not confirm patritumab efficacy in the HRG-High subgroup. Safety of patritumab in combination with erlotinib was acceptable.Figure 1
