OA 12.02 - Final Results of a Phase 2 Study of the hsp90 Inhibitor Luminespib (AUY922) in NSCLC Patients Harboring EGFR Exon 20 Insertions (ID 10182)
11:10 - 11:20 | Author(s): M. Huberman
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
EGFR exon 20 insertions (ins20) comprise 4-10% of EGFR mutations in NSCLC and are refractory to 1[st]/2[nd] generation EGFR TKIs. No effective targeted therapies exist for patients with EGFR ins20. EGFR is a client protein of the molecular chaperone Heat Shock Protein 90 (hsp90). Here, we present the final results of a phase II investigator-initiated trial to assess the activity of the Hsp90 inhibitor luminespib (AUY922) in NSCLC patients with EGFR ins20 (NCT01854034).
Method:
Between 8/2013 and 10/2016, the study enrolled 29 patients with stage IV NSCLC, EGFR ins20 identified on local testing, ECOG PS 0-2, at least one prior line of therapy and no untreated brain metastases. The study was closed on 2/28/17 when the available drug supply was exhausted. Luminespib was given at 70mg/m2 IV weekly. Response was assessed by RECIST 1.1 every 6 weeks; treatment beyond progression was allowed. Dose interruptions and dose reductions were allowed as needed for toxicity management. Primary endpoint was ORR with a target disease control rate (DCR; PR/CR plus SD lasting > 3 mos) of > 20%. Secondary endpoints were PFS, OS, safety and response by EGFR ins20 subtype.
Result:
29 patients (18 female/11 male, median age 60 (range, 31-79)) were enrolled. Median number of prior therapies = 1 (range, 1-5.) 4/29 achieved PR and 1 CR (ORR 5/29; 17%). 15 patients had SD and 9 had PD as their best response. mPFS was 2.9 mos (95% CI, 1.4-5.6,) mOS was 13 mos (95% CI, 4.9-19.5.) DCR was 11/29 (38%). Among 19 patients with baseline PS 0-1 and < 2 prior therapies, ORR = 21% and mPFS = 5.1 mos (95% CI, 2.1-11.8.) The most common luminespib-related toxicities were visual changes (22/29; 76%) diarrhea (21/29; 72%) and fatigue (13/29; 45%). Treatment-related grade 3 toxicities included ocular toxicity (1/29; 3%), hypertension (3/29; 10%) and hypophosphatemia (1/29; 3%). All study treatment was stopped on 2/28/17 due to lack of drug availability; 3 patients were on treatment without progression at study termination.
Conclusion:
The study met its primary endpoint and suggests that luminespib may be an active therapy for advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR ins20. Luminespib is generally well-tolerated, though reversible low-grade ocular toxicity is common. Further study of luminespib and other Hsp90 inhibitors in this population is warranted, as are novel systems to continue drug supply for benefitting patients when availability of experimental compounds is limited.

P3.03-025 - Tumor Biomarkers for the Routine Care of Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Decade of Experience in Implementing Predictive Genomic Events (ID 10193)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): M. Huberman
- Abstract
Background:
Although a growing list of mandatory genomic/immune-based biomarkers are now routinely integrated into the management of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), few reports have detailed the evolution of NSCLC predictive biomarker assessment in routine clinical practice.
Method:
We retrospectively probed 1,000+ NSCLC-patient pairs analyzed for predictive biomarkers from 2004 to 2017 at our institution and evaluated patterns of testing as well as correlation with clinical-pathologic characteristics.
Result:
The majority of 1,009 patient-tumor pairs had advanced adenocarcinoma with most specimens obtained from lung, mediastinal/hilar nodes, and pleura and with a similar distribution between surgical, small biopsy, and cytology specimens. All were tested for EGFR mutations, 895 for ALK rearrangement, 841 for KRAS mutation, 537 for ROS1 rearrangement, and 179 using comprehensive genomic profiling. Implementation of near-universal genomic biomarker testing for EGFR, ALK, ROS1 and PD-L1 occurred within the first year following evidence of activity/approval of a paired therapy. The failure rate after use of the best specimen for the most common tests was ≤5.5%. A quarter of tumors had a driver oncogene (EGFR/ALK/ROS1/BRAF-V600E) with an approved oral therapy, with the highest prevalence in patients with ≤15 pack-years tobacco use.
Conclusion:
Tumor biomarker testing in routine clinical NSCLC specimens at our institution evolves rapidly following approval of new therapies linked to diagnostic assays. Our practice’s decade-plus experience indicates that it will be feasible for the thoracic oncology community to continue to expand the use of predictive genomic and immune biomarkers using currently available clinical specimens.
