Abstract

Background

Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy can lead to antitumor responses and prolonged survival in NSCLC, but most patients (pts) who initially benefit acquire CPI resistance with disease progression. Sitravatinib (sitra) is a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can resensitize tumors to CPI by shifting the tumor microenvironment towards a less immunosuppressive state and, combined with nivolumab (nivo), may overcome acquired CPI resistance and improve outcomes vs chemotherapy.

Methods

In the Phase 3 SAPPHIRE study, pts with advanced non-squamous (adv nsq) NSCLC (excluding EGFR, ROS1, or ALK alterations) who initially benefited from CPI with/after platinum-based chemotherapy (≥4 months [mos] on CPI without progression) with subsequent disease progression were randomized 1:1 to sitra (100 mg QD orally) plus nivo (240 mg Q2W or 480 mg Q4W IV) [sitra/nivo] or docetaxel monotherapy (doce; 75 mg/m2 Q3W IV). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression-free survival (PFS); all by blinded independent central review, and safety.

Results

As of 20 March 2023 (median follow-up, 17.1 mos), 577 pts received sitra/nivo (n=284) or doce (n=293). Median OS was not significantly improved by sitra/nivo vs doce (12.2 vs 10.6 mos; HR 0.86 [95% CI, 0.70–1.05]; p=0.144). HR for PFS was 1.08 (95% CI, 0.89–1.32; p=0.452); median PFS for sitra/nivo vs doce was 4.4 vs 5.4 mos. ORR was 15.6% with sitra/nivo vs 17.2% with doce (p=0.597); CBR was 75.5% (sitra/nivo) vs 64.5% (doce; p=0.004). Most common (≥25%) any grade treatment-related adverse events with sitra/nivo were diarrhea (56.2% [7.5% gr ≥3]), nausea (31.3% [1.4%]), decreased appetite (28.5% [1.8%]), hypothyroidism (28.1% [0.4%]), and fatigue (26.3% [6.8%]); and diarrhea (35.5% [3.3%]), fatigue (35.5% [8.4%]), nausea (32.2% [2.6%]), decreased neutrophil count (31.9% [29.3%]), alopecia (30.8% [0.4%]), and neutropenia (26.0% [23.1%]) with doce.

Conclusions

The primary endpoint of OS was not met in pts with previously treated adv nsq NSCLC. Safety profiles for sitra/nivo and doce were consistent with prior reports for each regimen.

Abstract

Background

The Phase II PERLA trial (NCT04581824) was the first global randomized, double-blind, head-to-head study of two programmed death (PD)-1 inhibitors in NSCLC. In the primary analysis, dostar + CT met its primary endpoint of equivalence, with a favorable numerical trend in overall response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival compared to pembro + CT [1]. Here we report overall survival (OS) analyses from PERLA.

Methods

Patients (pts) with metastatic NSCLC, documented PD-L1 status, absence of EGFR, ALK or other actionable genomic aberrations determined locally, ECOG 0–1, and no prior systemic treatment were randomised 1:1 to dostar 500 mg or pembro 200 mg Q3W IV up to 35 cycles, combined with CT (4 cycles pemetrexed [pem; 500 mg/m2] + carboplatin [AUC 5 mg/mL/min] or cisplatin [75 mg/m2], followed by pem up to 35 cycles) Q3W IV. The primary endpoint was ORR by blinded independent central review (BICR). OS (secondary endpoint) and duration of response (DoR) by BICR (exploratory endpoint) were determined by Kaplan-Meier method, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by Brookmeyer-Crowley method and hazard ratio by stratified Cox proportional hazard model.

Results

At data cut-off on 07 July 2023, 121 and 122 pts in the dostar + CT and pembro + CT arms respectively, were randomised and treated. OS maturity was 55% (134/243). Median OS was 19.4 mo (95% CI 14.5, NR) in the dostar + CT arm vs 15.9 mo (95% CI 11.6, 19.3) in the pembro + CT arm (Table), after median follow-up (IQR) of 20.7 (17.3, 24.0) and 21.6 (18.3, 24.1) mo respectively, with a similar trend across PD-L1 subgroups. ORR and DoR are shown in the table. No new safety signals were reported.

Abstract

Background

Adagrasib (ada) is an irreversible KRASG12C inhibitor selected for favorable properties, including long half-life (23 hrs), dose-dependent PK, and CNS penetration. Optimized noncovalent binding affinity and minimized cysteine reactivity associated with ada are hypothesized to limit off-target effects in the liver and other organ sites. Preliminary ada plus pembrolizumab (pembro) data showed a manageable safety profile and encouraging clinical activity. We report updated efficacy and safety in more patients (pts) treated with ada plus pembro in KRYSTAL-7 (NCT04613596).

Methods

In the phase 2 KRYSTAL-7 study, pts with treatment-naïve KRASG12C-mutated advanced NSCLC received concurrent ada 400 mg orally BID plus pembro 200 mg intravenously Q3W. Study objectives included efficacy (investigator-assessed objective response rate [ORR], duration of response [DOR], progression-free survival [PFS], and overall survival), and safety.

Results

As of 19 June 2023, 148 pts had received ada plus pembro (median follow-up 8.7 months). Median age was 67 years, 48% were female, 39%/61% were ECOG PS 0/1. In pts with PD-L1 ≥50% (median follow-up 10.1 months), ORR was 63% (32/51 pts), disease control rate was 84%. Median DOR was not reached (NR; 95% CI 12.6–not estimable [NE]); median PFS was NR (95% CI 8.2–NE). In all pts, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade (gr) occurred in 94% (139/148) of pts; 55% gr3, 9% gr4, 1% gr5. TRAEs led to both ada and pembro discontinuation in 4% of pts (6% discontinued ada alone, 11% discontinued pembro alone). No pt discontinued both drugs due to ALT/AST increase or hepatic TRAEs; 1 pt discontinued ada and 3 pts discontinued pembro due to liver transaminase elevation. Additional efficacy and safety analyses will be presented.

Conclusions

After longer follow-up, concurrent ada plus pembro continued to have encouraging preliminary efficacy in pts with PD-L1 ≥50% and a manageable safety profile. These findings support initiation of a phase 3 trial evaluating concurrent ada plus pembro vs pembro for treatment-naïve pts with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC and PD-L1 ≥50% (NCT04613596).

Abstract

Background

EGFR mutations are diverse and include major uncommon and compound mutations. There is no conclusion on whether EGFR-TKI is the optimal treatment for these diverse mutations. Herein we report results on the first phase III ACHILLES trial, where treatment with afatinib and chemotherapy were compared in sensitizing uncommon EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

In this open-label phase III study, treatment-naïve patients with sensitizing uncommon EGFR mutant NSCLC were randomized 2:1 to oral afatinib (30 or 40 mg daily) or the combination of platinum (cisplatin 75 mg/m2 or carboplatin AUC 5 or 6) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2), followed by pemetrexed maintenance therapy every three weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1. The sample size (n = 106) was based on 75% power to detect a hazard ratio of 0.6 in PFS with α= 0.05, which was pre-planned upon completion of enrollment. The analysis was adjusted for multiple testing with the Lan-DeMets alpha-spending function, using the O’Brien and Fleming method.

Results

A total of 109 patients were enrolled between Feb 2019 and Feb 2023. The median follow-up time was 12.5 months. The patient’s backgrounds were well-balanced. The median PFS was significantly longer with afatinib treatment than with chemotherapy (10.6 vs. 5.7 months; hazard ratio for death or disease progression, 0.422; 95% confidence interval, 0.256–0.694; p = 0.0007). The data and safety monitoring committee recommended an early study termination. The objective response was similar in both groups: 61.4% with afatinib treatment and 47.1% with chemotherapy (p = 0.2069). The rate of grade ≥3 treatment resulting in adverse events in both groups was 43.8% and 37.1%, respectively. The most common adverse events in the afatinib arm were diarrhea, rash, and paronychia. One treatment related death due to pneumonitis was observed in the afatinib arm.

Conclusions

Afatinib is superior to platinum doublet chemotherapy as an initial treatment for uncommon or compound EGFR mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.

Abstract

Background

In the treatment ofnon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a driver mutation, the role of anti-PD-(L)1 antibody following tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) remains unclear. This randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 3 study evaluates the efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy in EGFR or ALK-mutated NSCLC that progressed prior to TKI therapy.

Methods

We compared the clinical efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab/paclitaxel/carboplatin (ABCP arm) followed by maintenance therapy with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab with pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin (PC arm) followed by pemetrexed maintenance. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

Results

A total of 228 patients with activating EGFR mutation (n=215) or ALK translocation (n=13) were enrolled from 16 sites in the Republic of Korea and randomized at 2:1 ratio of either ABCP (n=154) or PC arm (n=74). The median follow-up duration was 26.1 months (95% CI 24.7-28.2). Objective response rates were higher in the ABCP arm than in the PC arm (69.5% vs 41.9%, P <0.001). Median PFS was significantly longer in the ABCP than in the PC arm (8.48 months vs. 5.62 months, hazard ratio [HR] 0.62 [0.45-0.86], P=0.004). PFS benefit increased as PD-L1 expression increased, with HR of 0.47, 0.41, and 0.24 for PD-L1 ≥1%, ≥10% and ≥50%, respectively. Overall survival was similar between ABCP and PC (20.63 months vs. 20.27 months, HR 1.01 [0.69-1.46], P=0.975). The safety profile of the ABCP arm was comparable to that previously reported, with no additional safety signals.

Conclusions

This study is the first randomized phase 3 study to demonstrate the clinical benefit of anti-PD-L1 antibody in combination with bevacizumab and chemotherapy in EGFR or ALK mutated NSCLC who have progressed on relevant targeted therapy.
