MA 07.02 - Response to Ensartinib in TKI Naïve ALK+ NSCLC Patients (ID 10247)
15:50 - 15:55 | Author(s): L. Horn
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Ensartinib is a novel, potent anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with additional activity against MET, ABL, Axl, EPHA2, LTK, ROS1, and SLK. Ensartinib has demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity in both ALK TKI-naïve and crizotinib-resistant NSCLC patients. We report on data from ALK TKI treatment naïve patients.
Method:
Pts with advanced solid tumors and ECOG PS 0-1 were treated with ensartinib 225 mg qd on a continuous 28-day schedule. In expansion phase, pts were required to have measurable ALK+ NSCLC with tissue confirmed centrally via FISH or IHC. Asymptomatic brain metastases were allowed. Targeted NGS of cfDNA was performed retrospectively at baseline and on study and compared with tissue results.
Result:
As of 01Apr2017, 102 pts enrolled. In the ALK TKI naïve cohort, 15 (8 female, 7 male) ALK+ NSCLC pts treated at doses ≥ 200 mg evaluable for response. 4 pts had received prior chemotherapy. Median age 59 (34-80) yrs, 60% had ECOG PS 1. Partial response (PR) achieved in 13 pts (87%). Six pts had ALK detected via plasma NGS. In two patients who did not respond to ensartinib, tissue was positive via FISH and plasma was negative. Seven patients had insufficient plasma for NGS evaluation. Median PFS in the initial 13 evaluable ALK+ pts was 25.6 mos with the longest being 44+ mos. The PFS for all patients is still maturing. In 3 pts with central nervous system (CNS) target lesions and no prior radiation, 1 had a complete response (CR) and 2 had PR for an ORR of 100%. Most common drug-related AEs (>20% of pts) included rash (54%), nausea (34%), pruritus (26%), vomiting (25%), and fatigue (21%). Most AEs were Grade (G) 1-2. Most common G3 tx-related AE was rash (12 pts).
Conclusion:
Ensartinib was well-tolerated and induced responses in ALK TKI naïve ALK+ NSCLC pts, including pts with CNS lesions. Enrollment is ongoing in the phase 3 study of ensartinib vs. crizotinib in ALK TKI naïve NSCLC patients.

MA 14.08 - Hematology/Oncology Providers’ Practices and Attitudes of Lung Cancer Screening And Tobacco Cessation at an Academic Medical Center and VA (ID 8827)
16:30 - 16:35 | Author(s): L. Horn
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Advances in cancer screening and therapeutics have led to an estimated 15.5 million US cancer survivors. A history of cancer is a known risk factor for lung cancer. Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose CT (LDCT) and smoking cessation in high-risk populations are recommended standard-of-care practices for cancer survivors, yet knowledge and practice of these interventions is low among PCPs. Hematologists and oncologists commonly provide cancer survivorship care, and yet their practices of and attitudes toward LCS are unknown. Based on prior data, we hypothesized that very few providers (<25%) would report performing LDCT screening while most (>75%) would report providing tobacco cessation services in the last year, and that knowledge of LCS guidelines would be associated with LDCT screening.
Method:
We electronically surveyed all Hematology/Oncology providers (n = 104) at a large academic institution in the Mid-South and its affiliated VA from February to May 2017. The survey queried: LCS/tobacco cessation practices (LDCT screening as primary outcome), perceived cancer screening/tobacco cessation effectiveness, knowledge of USPSTF LCS guideline recommendations and CMS coverage, perceived barriers to LDCT screening, and interest in future provider/patient LCS education and reminder tools. Data were summarized using counts, proportions, means, and medians. We used logistic regression to evaluate the association of LCS guideline knowledge (primary predictor) with reported LDCT screening.
Result:
The overall survey response rate was 73%. Few providers (38%) reported performing LDCT screening in the past year, while almost all providers (95%) reported providing tobacco cessation services. In unadjusted analysis, providers who knew at least three LCS guideline components were more likely to perform LDCT screening (OR 5.96, CI 2.03-17.49; P = 0.001). Only 55% of providers knew at least three LCS guideline components. More providers rated Pap-smear (75%), colonoscopy (71%), smoking cessation (68%), and mammography (39%) as very effective at reducing cancer-specific mortality compared to LDCT (24%). Major perceived barriers included: lack of patient awareness (74%) and patient financial cost (51%). More VA providers (37%) rated lack of a multi-disciplinary screening program as a major screening barrier compared to academic providers (7%) (P = 0.002). Majority of providers (≥ 56%) reported interest in future provider/patient LCS education and reminders.
Conclusion:
LDCT screening is currently an uncommon practice among hematology/oncology providers. Future interventions aimed at the provider, patient, and health system levels are needed to ensure standard-of-care LCS practices in the cancer survivor population. Provider level interventions should incorporate education on screening/tobacco cessation effectiveness and screening guideline recommendations.

OA 09.03 - TATTON Ph Ib Expansion Cohort: Osimertinib plus Savolitinib for Pts with EGFR-Mutant MET-Amplified NSCLC after Progression on Prior EGFR-TKI (ID 8985)
11:20 - 11:30 | Author(s): L. Horn
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
MET amplification is a well described mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR inhibition in EGFR-mutant NSCLC, making combined MET/EGFR inhibition a compelling therapeutic approach. We previously reported tolerability of the oral, CNS active, third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib, which is selective for both EGFR-TKI sensitizing and EGFR T790M resistance mutations, combined with the highly selective MET-TKI savolitinib (volitinib, HMPL-504, AZD6094). Here we assess safety and preliminary activity of this combination in a cohort of patients (pts) with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and MET-positive acquired resistance in the multi-arm, Phase Ib TATTON study (NCT02143466).
Method:
Eligible pts were aged ≥18 years (WHO performance status 0/1) with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC who progressed on at least one prior EGFR-TKI with centrally confirmed MET-amplification (fluorescence in-situ hybridisation, MET gene copy ≥5 or MET/CEP7 ratio ≥2). Pts received osimertinib 80 mg QD plus savolitinib 600 mg QD. Primary objective was safety and tolerability; secondary objectives included preliminary assessment of anti-tumour activity and pharmacokinetics.
Result:
As of data-cut off (15 April 2017), 45 pts with centrally confirmed MET-amplification (FISH) were enrolled and received treatment, including 25 pts previously treated with a third-generation EGFR-TKI and 20 without prior third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment (T790M negative n=13; T790M positive n=7). At baseline, median age was 58 years (range 38–76), 24 (53%) were female, 36 (80%) were Asian. The most frequent adverse events (AEs) were nausea (n=21, 47%), decreased appetite (n=15, 33%), fatigue (n=13, 29%) vomiting (n=13, 29%), rash (n=11, 24%), myalgia (n=8, 18%), pyrexia (n=7, 16%), ALT/AST increased (n=6, 13%), and WBC decreased (n=6, 13%), consistent with the known safety profiles. Serious AEs were reported in 15 (33%) pts; events reported in >1 patient were pneumonia, dyspnoea, acute kidney injury and pyrexia (all n=2). Four pts died due to AEs, none were considered related to study drugs. At data cut-off, confirmed partial responses were reported in 5/25 (20%) pts previously treated with a third-generation EGFR-TKI; 5/12 (42%) T790M negative pts without prior third-generation EGFR-TKI and 3/7 (43%) T790M positive pts without prior third-generation EGFR‑TKI. Twenty-eight (62%) pts are ongoing treatment. Preliminary steady-state exposures and pharmacokinetic parameters of savolitinib and osimertinib were consistent with historical data.
Conclusion:
These findings demonstrate promising safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity of osimertinib plus savolitinib and support further investigation of this combination for the treatment of pts with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC and MET-amplification. Updated data will be presented.

P2.04-012 - First-Line Ensartinib (X396) versus Crizotinib in Advanced ALK-Rearranged NSCLC (eXalt3): A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 3 Study (ID 8841)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): L. Horn
- Abstract
Background:
Ensartinib (X-396) is a novel, potent ALK TKI with additional activity against MET, ABL, Axl, EPHA2, LTK, ROS1 and SLK. Its phase 1/2 study (NCT01625234) demonstrated that ensartinib is well-tolerated and induces favorable responses in both crizotinib-naïve (ORR 80%) and crizotinib-resistant ALK+ NSCLC patients (ORR 71%), as well as those with CNS metastases.
Method:
In this global, phase 3, open-label, randomized study (eXalt3), approximately 270 patients with ALK+ NSCLC who have received no prior ALK TKI and up to one prior chemotherapy regimen will be randomized with stratification by prior chemotherapy (0/1), performance status (0-1/2), brain metastases at screening (absence/presence), and geographic region (Asia Pacific/other), to receive oral ensartinib (225 mg, once daily) or crizotinib (250mg, twice daily) until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Eligibility also includes patients ≥ 18 years of age, stage IIIB or IV ALK+ NSCLC. Patients are required to have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, adequate organ function, and an ECOG PS of ≤2. Adequate tumor tissue (archival or fresh biopsy) must be available for central testing. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival assessed by independent radiology review based on RECIST v. 1.1 criteria. Secondary efficacy endpoints include overall survival, response rates (overall and central nervous system [CNS]), PFS by investigator assessment, time to response, duration of response, and time to CNS progression. The study has > 80% power to detect a superior effect of ensartinib over crizotinib in PFS at a 2-sided alpha level of 0.05.
Result:
Progress report Phase 3 recruitment began in June, 2016 and currently has 66 active sites in 21 countries. The duration of recruitment will be approximately 24 months. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.Gov as NCT02767804.

P3.07-012 - Nivolumab Versus Docetaxel in Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Liver Metastases (ID 8484)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): L. Horn
- Abstract
Background:
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have metastasis to the liver have poor prognosis. The phase 3 trials CheckMate 017 and 057 demonstrated improved overall survival (OS) and a favorable safety profile with nivolumab, an anti-programmed death-1 antibody, versus docetaxel in patients with previously treated advanced squamous and non-squamous NSCLC, respectively. A prior subgroup analysis from these trials evaluated and demonstrated efficacy and safety with nivolumab in patients with asymptomatic central nervous system metastases (Goldman J. ASCO 2016). Here we report subgroup analyses from these trials of patients with baseline liver metastases.
Method:
In both trials, patients were randomized 1:1 to nivolumab 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks or docetaxel 75 mg/m[2] every 3 weeks until progression or discontinuation. The primary endpoint of each study was OS. Patients from CheckMate 017 and 057 with baseline liver metastases reported as either target or non-target lesions were identified and pooled across studies by treatment.
Result:
Baseline characteristics were generally similar between patients with liver metastases randomized to nivolumab (n=99) and docetaxel (n=94). In the nivolumab group, 26% of patients had squamous and 74% had non-squamous NSCLC; in the docetaxel group, 36% had squamous and 64% had non-squamous NSCLC. The minimum follow-up was 24.2 months (Feb 2016 database locks). Nivolumab resulted in improved OS compared with docetaxel in patients with liver metastases (hazard ratio [HR]=0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50, 0.91), similar to findings from the ITT group (HR=0.72; 95% CI: 0.62, 0.84). Median OS in patients with liver metastases was 6.83 months with nivolumab versus 5.93 months with docetaxel, both of which were lower than those observed in the overall pooled intent-to-treat (ITT) population (11.14 months vs 8.11 months). Two-year OS rates were 18% with nivolumab versus 6% with docetaxel in patients with liver metastases. Rates of grade 3−4 treatment-related adverse events in patients with liver metastases were lower with nivolumab compared with docetaxel (7% vs 53%), and similar to those in the ITT population (10% vs 55%).
Conclusion:
The lower median OS observed in this subgroup of patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC and baseline liver metastases corroborates previous findings that metastasis to the liver is an unfavorable prognostic factor. However, nivolumab demonstrated sustained OS benefit versus docetaxel in these patients, similar to the ITT population. The safety profile of nivolumab was favorable versus docetaxel in this subgroup, with no new safety concerns identified.
