RESUMO
PURPOSE: Patients with advanced endometrial cancer (EC) who progress on or after platinum-based therapy and immunotherapy have poor prognosis. We report efficacy and safety of sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop-2)-directed antibody-drug conjugate, in patients with advanced EC. METHODS: TROPiCS-03 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03964727) is a multicohort, open-label, phase II basket study in patients with metastatic solid tumors. Eligible patients in the EC cohort received SG 10 mg/kg once on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. Primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) by investigator's assessment per RECIST v1.1. Secondary end points included clinical benefit rate (CBR; complete and partial response, and stable disease ≥6 months), duration of response (DOR), and progression-free survival (PFS) per investigator assessment, overall survival, and safety. Trop-2 expression of archival or baseline tumor specimens was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: At data extraction date, 41 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up was 5.8 months (range, 0.7-19.3); median previous therapies was three (range, 1-6); and 85% of patients received previous chemotherapy and immunotherapy. ORR was 22% (95% CI, 11 to 38); CBR was 32% (95% CI, 18 to 48). Median DOR was 8.8 months (95% CI, 2.8 to not estimable); median PFS was 4.8 months (95% CI, 2.8 to 9.8). Trop-2 exploratory analysis was conducted retrospectively for 39 patients. Tumor Trop-2 protein was highly expressed in EC, showing limited correlation with efficacy. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 73% of patients. Study drug discontinuation due to TRAEs was 5%. Two deaths occurred, deemed unrelated to SG. CONCLUSION: Findings from TROPiCS-03 showed encouraging efficacy of SG with a manageable toxicity profile in a heavily pretreated population with advanced EC. Safety findings were consistent with the known SG safety profile.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Phase 3 studies of intravenous amivantamab demonstrated efficacy across EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A subcutaneous formulation could improve tolerability and reduce administration time while maintaining efficacy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC who progressed following osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy were randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous or intravenous amivantamab, both combined with lazertinib. Co-primary pharmacokinetic noninferiority endpoints were trough concentrations (Ctrough; on cycle-2-day-1 or cycle-4-day-1) and cycle-2 area under the curve (AUCD1-D15). Key secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Overall survival (OS) was a predefined exploratory endpoint. RESULTS: Overall, 418 patients underwent randomization (subcutaneous group, n=206; intravenous group, n=212). Geometric mean ratios of Ctrough for subcutaneous to intravenous amivantamab were 1.15 (90% CI, 1.04-1.26) at cycle-2-day-1 and 1.42 (90% CI, 1.27-1.61) at cycle-4-day-1; the cycle-2 AUCD1-D15 was 1.03 (90% CI, 0.98-1.09). ORR was 30% in the subcutaneous and 33% in the intravenous group; median PFS was 6.1 and 4.3 months, respectively. OS was significantly longer in the subcutaneous versus intravenous group (hazard ratio for death, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.42-0.92; nominal P=0.02). Fewer patients in the subcutaneous group experienced infusion-related reactions (13% versus 66%) and venous thromboembolism (9% versus 14%) versus the intravenous group. Median administration time for first infusion was reduced to 4.8 minutes (range, 0-18) for subcutaneous amivantamab from 5 hours (range, 0.2-9.9) for intravenous amivantamab. During cycle-1-day-1, 85% and 52% of patients in the subcutaneous and intravenous groups, respectively, considered treatment convenient; end-of-treatment rates were 85% and 35%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Subcutaneous amivantamab-lazertinib demonstrated noninferiority to intravenous amivantamab-lazertinib, offering a consistent safety profile with reduced infusion-related reactions, increased convenience, and prolonged survival.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Coblockade of lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) and PD-1 receptors could provide significant clinical benefit for patients with advanced melanoma. Fianlimab and cemiplimab are high-affinity, human, hinge-stabilized IgG4 monoclonal antibodies, targeting LAG-3 and PD-1, respectively. We report results from a first-in-human phase-I study of fianlimab and cemiplimab safety and efficacy in various malignancies including advanced melanoma. METHODS: Patients with advanced melanoma were eligible for enrollment into four cohorts: three for patients without and one for patients with previous anti-PD-1 therapy in the advanced disease setting. Patients were treated with fianlimab 1,600 mg and cemiplimab 350 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks for up to 51 weeks, with an optional additional 51 weeks if clinically indicated. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 criteria. RESULTS: ORRs were 63% for patients with anti-PD-1-naïve melanoma (cohort-6; n = 40; median follow-up 20.8 months), 63% for patients with systemic treatment-naïve melanoma (cohort-15; n = 40; 11.5 months), and 56% for patients with previous neo/adjuvant treatment melanoma (cohort-16; n = 18, 9.7 months). At a median follow-up of 12.6 months for the combined cohorts (6 + 15 + 16), the ORR was 61.2% and the median progression-free survival (mPFS) 13.3 months (95% CI, 7.5 to not estimated [NE]). In patients (n = 13) with previous anti-PD-1 adjuvant therapy, ORR was 61.5% and mPFS 12 months (95% CI, 1.4 to NE). ORR in patients with previous anti-PD-1 therapy for advanced disease (n = 15) was 13.3% and mPFS 1.5 months (95% CI, 1.3 to 7.7). Treatment-emergent and treatment-related adverse events ≥grade 3 (G3) were observed in 44% and 22% of patients, respectively. Except for increased incidence of adrenal insufficiency (12%-G1-4, 4%-G3-4), no new safety signals were recorded. CONCLUSION: The current results show a promising benefit-risk profile of fianlimab/cemiplimab combination for patients with advanced melanoma, including those with previous anti-PD-1 therapy in the adjuvant, but not advanced, setting.

BACKGROUND: Amivantamab plus lazertinib (amivantamab-lazertinib) has shown clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity in patients with previously untreated or osimertinib-pretreated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: In a phase 3, international, randomized trial, we assigned, in a 2:2:1 ratio, patients with previously untreated EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletion or L858R), locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC to receive amivantamab-lazertinib (in an open-label fashion), osimertinib (in a blinded fashion), or lazertinib (in a blinded fashion, to assess the contribution of treatment components). The primary end point was progression-free survival in the amivantamab-lazertinib group as compared with the osimertinib group, as assessed by blinded independent central review. RESULTS: Overall, 1074 patients underwent randomization (429 to amivantamab-lazertinib, 429 to osimertinib, and 216 to lazertinib). The median progression-free survival was significantly longer in the amivantamab-lazertinib group than in the osimertinib group (23.7 vs. 16.6 months; hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58 to 0.85; P<0.001). An objective response was observed in 86% of the patients (95% CI, 83 to 89) in the amivantamab-lazertinib group and in 85% of those (95% CI, 81 to 88) in the osimertinib group; among patients with a confirmed response (336 in the amivantamab-lazertinib group and 314 in the osimertinib group), the median response duration was 25.8 months (95% CI, 20.1 to could not be estimated) and 16.8 months (95% CI, 14.8 to 18.5), respectively. In a planned interim overall survival analysis of amivantamab-lazertinib as compared with osimertinib, the hazard ratio for death was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.61 to 1.05). Predominant adverse events were EGFR-related toxic effects. The incidence of discontinuation of all agents due to treatment-related adverse events was 10% with amivantamab-lazertinib and 3% with osimertinib. CONCLUSIONS: Amivantamab-lazertinib showed superior efficacy to osimertinib as first-line treatment in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: KRAS is the most commonly mutated driver oncogene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sotorasib and adagrasib, KRASG12C inhibitors, have been granted accelerated US approval; however, hepatotoxicity is a common side effect with higher rates in patients treated with sotorasib proximal to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of adagrasib after discontinuation of sotorasib because of treatment-related grade 3 hepatotoxicity through real-world and clinical cases. METHODS: Medical records from five patients treated in real-world settings were retrospectively reviewed. Patients had locally advanced or metastatic KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC and received adagrasib after sotorasib in the absence of extracranial disease progression. Additional data were collected for 12 patients with KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC enrolled in a phase Ib cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study and previously treated with sotorasib. The end points associated with both drugs included timing and severity of hepatotoxicity, best overall response, and duration of therapy. RESULTS: All patients were treated with CPIs followed by sotorasib (initiated 0-64 days after CPI). All five real-world patients experienced hepatotoxicity with sotorasib that led to treatment discontinuation, whereas none experienced treatment-related hepatotoxicity with subsequent adagrasib treatment. Three patients from KRYSTAL-1 transitioned from sotorasib to adagrasib because of hepatotoxicity; one experienced grade 3 ALT elevation on adagrasib that resolved with therapy interruption and dose reduction. CONCLUSION: Adagrasib may have a distinct hepatotoxicity profile from sotorasib and is more easily combined with CPIs either sequentially or concurrently. These differences may be used to inform clinical decisions regarding an initial KRASG12C inhibitor for patients who recently discontinued a CPI or experience hepatotoxicity on sotorasib.

PURPOSE: Datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a humanized antitrophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2) monoclonal antibody linked to a potent, exatecan-derived topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a plasma-stable, selectively cleavable linker. PATIENTS AND METHODS: TROPION-PanTumor01 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03401385) is a phase I, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study evaluating Dato-DXd in patients with previously treated solid tumors. The primary study objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of Dato-DXd. Secondary objectives included evaluation of antitumor activity and pharmacokinetics. Results from patients with advanced/metastatic hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer (BC) or triple-negative BC (TNBC) are reported. RESULTS: At data cutoff (July 22, 2022), 85 patients (HR+/HER2- BC = 41, and TNBC = 44) had received Dato-DXd. The objective response rate by blinded independent central review was 26.8% (95% CI, 14.2 to 42.9) and 31.8% (95% CI, 18.6 to 47.6) for patients with HR+/HER2- BC and TNBC, respectively. The median duration of response was not evaluable in the HR+/HER2- BC cohort and 16.8 months in the TNBC cohort. The median progression-free survival in patients with HR+/HER2- BC and TNBC was 8.3 and 4.4 months, respectively. All-cause treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; any grade, grade ≥3) were observed in 100% and 41.5% of patients with HR+/HER2- BC and 100% and 52.3% of patients with TNBC. Stomatitis was the most common TEAE (any grade, grade ≥3) in both HR+/HER2- BC (82.9%, 9.8%) and TNBC (72.7%, 11.4%) cohorts. CONCLUSION: In patients with heavily pretreated advanced HR+/HER2- BC and TNBC, Dato-DXd demonstrated promising clinical activity and a manageable safety profile. Dato-DXd is currently being evaluated in phase III studies.

Mivavotinib (TAK-659/CB-659), a dual SYK/FLT3 inhibitor, reduced immunosuppressive immune cell populations and suppressed tumor growth in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy in cancer models. This dose-escalation/expansion study investigated the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of mivavotinib plus nivolumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients received oral mivavotinib 60-100 mg once-daily plus intravenous nivolumab 3 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 in 28-day cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The dose-escalation phase evaluated the recommended phase II dose (RP2D; primary endpoint). The expansion phase evaluated overall response rate (primary end point) at the RP2D in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). During dose-escalation (n = 24), two dose-limiting toxicities (grade 4 lipase increased and grade 3 pyrexia) occurred in patients who received mivavotinib 80 mg and 100 mg, respectively. The determined RP2D was once-daily mivavotinib 80 mg plus nivolumab 3 mg/kg. The expansion phase was terminated at ~50% enrollment (n = 17) after failing to meet an ad hoc efficacy futility threshold. Among all 41 patients, common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) included dyspnea (48.8%), aspartate aminotransferase increased, and pyrexia (46.3% each). Common grade ≥3 TEAEs were hypophosphatemia and anemia (26.8% each). Mivavotinib plasma exposure was generally dose-proportional (60-100 mg). One patient had a partial response. Mivavotinib 80 mg plus nivolumab 3 mg/kg was well tolerated with no new safety signals beyond those of single-agent mivavotinib or nivolumab. Low response rates highlight the challenges of treating unresponsive tumor types, such as TNBC, with this combination and immunotherapies in general. TRIAL REGISTRATION ID: NCT02834247.

Therapeutic vaccines that elicit cytotoxic T cell responses targeting tumor-specific neoantigens hold promise for providing long-term clinical benefit to patients with cancer. Here we evaluated safety and tolerability of a therapeutic vaccine encoding 20 shared neoantigens derived from selected common oncogenic driver mutations as primary endpoints in an ongoing phase 1/2 study in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors. Secondary endpoints included immunogenicity, overall response rate, progression-free survival and overall survival. Eligible patients were selected if their tumors expressed one of the human leukocyte antigen-matched tumor mutations included in the vaccine, with the majority of patients (18/19) harboring a mutation in KRAS. The vaccine regimen, consisting of a chimp adenovirus (ChAd68) and self-amplifying mRNA (samRNA) in combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitors ipilimumab and nivolumab, was shown to be well tolerated, with observed treatment-related adverse events consistent with acute inflammation expected with viral vector-based vaccines and immune checkpoint blockade, the majority grade 1/2. Two patients experienced grade 3/4 serious treatment-related adverse events that were also dose-limiting toxicities. The overall response rate was 0%, and median progression-free survival and overall survival were 1.9 months and 7.9 months, respectively. T cell responses were biased toward human leukocyte antigen-matched TP53 neoantigens encoded in the vaccine relative to KRAS neoantigens expressed by the patients' tumors, indicating a previously unknown hierarchy of neoantigen immunodominance that may impact the therapeutic efficacy of multiepitope shared neoantigen vaccines. These data led to the development of an optimized vaccine exclusively targeting KRAS-derived neoantigens that is being evaluated in a subset of patients in phase 2 of the clinical study.

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant or adjuvant immunotherapy can improve outcomes in patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Perioperative regimens may combine benefits of both to improve long-term outcomes. METHODS: We randomly assigned patients with resectable NSCLC (stage II to IIIB [N2 node stage] according to the eighth edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual) to receive platinum-based chemotherapy plus durvalumab or placebo administered intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 cycles before surgery, followed by adjuvant durvalumab or placebo intravenously every 4 weeks for 12 cycles. Randomization was stratified according to disease stage (II or III) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (≥1% or <1%). Primary end points were event-free survival (defined as the time to the earliest occurrence of progressive disease that precluded surgery or prevented completion of surgery, disease recurrence [assessed in a blinded fashion by independent central review], or death from any cause) and pathological complete response (evaluated centrally). RESULTS: A total of 802 patients were randomly assigned to receive durvalumab (400 patients) or placebo (402 patients). The duration of event-free survival was significantly longer with durvalumab than with placebo; the stratified hazard ratio for disease progression, recurrence, or death was 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53 to 0.88; P = 0.004) at the first interim analysis. At the 12-month landmark analysis, event-free survival was observed in 73.4% of the patients who received durvalumab (95% CI, 67.9 to 78.1), as compared with 64.5% of the patients who received placebo (95% CI, 58.8 to 69.6). The incidence of pathological complete response was significantly greater with durvalumab than with placebo (17.2% vs. 4.3% at the final analysis; difference, 13.0 percentage points; 95% CI, 8.7 to 17.6; P<0.001 at interim analysis of data from 402 patients). Event-free survival and pathological complete response benefit were observed regardless of stage and PD-L1 expression. Adverse events of maximum grade 3 or 4 occurred in 42.4% of patients with durvalumab and in 43.2% with placebo. Data from 62 patients with documented EGFR or ALK alterations were excluded from the efficacy analyses in the modified intention-to-treat population. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with resectable NSCLC, perioperative durvalumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated with significantly greater event-free survival and pathological complete response than neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone, with a safety profile that was consistent with the individual agents.

PURPOSE: The Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) domain proteins facilitate the development of many human cancers via epigenetic regulation. BET inhibitors may be effective in reversing platinum resistance in ovarian cancer (OC) and may generate synthetic lethality with ARID1A loss. PLX2853 is an orally active, small-molecule inhibitor of BET bromodomain-mediated interactions that exhibits low nanomolar potency in blocking all four BET family members. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter and open-label study with two parallel arms: a phase IIa study of PLX2853 monotherapy in patients with advanced gynecologic malignancies with an ARID1A mutation and a phase Ib/IIa combination study of PLX2853 plus carboplatin in women with platinum-resistant OC. The primary objectives were safety and tolerability for phase Ib and efficacy for both phase IIa portions. Thirty-four of 37 enrolled patients completed at least one post-baseline response assessment. RESULTS: Of the 14 evaluable patients on the monotherapy arm, 1 (7.1%) achieved a best overall response of partial response (PR), 5 (35.7%) had stable disease (SD), and 8 (57.1%) had progressive disease (PD). Of the 20 evaluable patients on the combination arm, 1 (5.0%) had PR, 9 (45.0%) had SD, and 10 (50%) had PD. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed the safety profile of PLX2853 and demonstrated the feasibility of combination with carboplatin. Although these results did not meet the prespecified response criteria, evidence of clinical activity highlights the rationale for further exploration of BET inhibitors in patients with ARID1A-mutated gynecologic malignancies, possibly in combination with agents targeting potential feedback mechanisms such as the PI3K pathway.

Background: The incidence of lung cancer in the US has been decreasing but a bigger decline has been observed in men despite similar declines in tobacco use between men and women. Multiple theories have been proposed, including exposure to exogenous estrogens. Our study seeks to understand the relationship between hormone receptors (HR), gender, and the genomic landscape of non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: 3,256 NSCLC tumor samples submitted for molecular profiling between 2013-2018 were retrospectively identified and assessed for HR expression. Hormone receptor (HR+) was defined as ≥ 1% nuclear staining of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-a) or progesterone receptor (PR) by immunohistochemistry. DNA sequencing by NGS included cases sequenced by the Illumina MiSeq hot spot 47 gene panel (n=2753) and Illumina NextSeq 592 gene panel (n=503). An adjusted p-value (q-value) <0.05 was determined significant. Results: HR+ was identified in 18.3% of NSCLC. HR+ occurred more commonly in women compared to men (19.6% vs 11.4%, p <0.0001, q <0.0001). EGFR mutations occurred more commonly in HR+ NSCLC than HR- NSCLC (20.2% vs. 14.6%, p = 0.002, q=0.007). Overall, men with EGFR mutations were affected by HR status with a higher prevalence in HR+ NSCLC while such differences were not seen in women. However, in women ages ≤45, there was a trend towards greater prevalence HR+ NSCLC (25.25% vs. 11.32%, q= 0.0942) and 10/25 (40.0%) of HR+ cases in young women were found to be EGFR mutated. KRAS mutations and ALK+ IHC expression occurred more in HR+ NSCLC whereas TP53 mutations occurred more in HR- NSCLC. Conclusions: Women were more likely to have HR+ NSCLC than men and EGFR and KRAS mutations occurred more commonly in HR+ NSCLC. Additional studies with more strict inclusion criteria for HR+ are warranted to see if there is benefit to targeting HR in these subgroups.
RESUMO
Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often develop resistance to current standard third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs); no targeted treatments are approved in the osimertinib-relapsed setting. In this open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion phase 1 trial, the potential for improved anti-tumor activity by combining amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, with lazertinib, a third-generation EGFR TKI, was evaluated in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC whose disease progressed on third-generation TKI monotherapy but were chemotherapy naive (CHRYSALIS cohort E). In the dose-escalation phase, the recommended phase 2 combination dose was established; in the dose-expansion phase, the primary endpoints were safety and overall response rate, and key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and overall survival. The safety profile of amivantamab and lazertinib was generally consistent with previous experience of each agent alone, with 4% experiencing grade ≥3 events; no new safety signals were identified. In an exploratory cohort of 45 patients who were enrolled without biomarker selection, the primary endpoint of investigator-assessed overall response rate was 36% (95% confidence interval, 22-51). The median duration of response was 9.6 months, and the median progression-free survival was 4.9 months. Next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry analyses identified high EGFR and/or MET expression as potential predictive biomarkers of response, which will need to be validated with prospective assessment.

Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy improves pathologic complete response rate and event-free survival in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) versus chemotherapy alone. NeoCOAST was the first randomized, multidrug platform trial to examine novel neoadjuvant immuno-oncology combinations for patients with resectable NSCLC, using major pathologic response (MPR) rate as the primary endpoint. Eighty-three patients received a single cycle of treatment: 26 received durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) monotherapy, 21 received durvalumab plus oleclumab (anti-CD73), 20 received durvalumab plus monalizumab (anti-NKG2A), and 16 received durvalumab plus danvatirsen (anti-STAT3 antisense oligonucleotide). MPR rates were higher for patients in the combination arms versus durvalumab alone. Safety profiles for the combinations were similar to those of durvalumab alone. Multiplatform immune profiling suggested that improved MPR rates in the durvalumab plus oleclumab and durvalumab plus monalizumab arms were associated with enhanced effector immune infiltration of tumors, interferon responses and markers of tertiary lymphoid structure formation, and systemic functional immune cell activation. SIGNIFICANCE: A neoadjuvant platform trial can rapidly generate clinical and translational data using candidate surrogate endpoints like MPR. In NeoCOAST, patients with resectable NSCLC had improved MPR rates after durvalumab plus oleclumab or monalizumab versus durvalumab alone and tumoral transcriptomic signatures indicative of augmented immune cell activation and function.

WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?: This is a plain language summary of an article published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in 2021. It describes the first results from 1 group of patients in the phase 1 CHRYSALIS study with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutations. This part of the CHRYSALIS study (called cohort D) investigated the bispecific antibody amivantamab (brand name RYBREVANT®) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with an EGFR ex20ins mutation. EGFR mutations are one of the most common causes of NSCLC tumors, with EGFR ex20ins mutations being more common among people of Asian descent. Patients who took part in this study had cancer that could not be removed by surgery, and whose cancer had worsened after receiving other forms of treatment, such as chemotherapy. Typically, patients with this type of mutation are difficult to treat or do not experience treatment response with commonly used therapies that target EGFR. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS?: The CHRYSALIS study took place between May 27, 2016, and June 8, 2020, in select hospitals in the USA, Japan and South Korea. In cohort D, amivantamab showed promising results, with an overall response rate of 40%. This means that 4 of every 10 patients in CHRYSALIS cohort D had tumors that shrank or were no longer measurable. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT02609776 (the CHRYSALIS Phase I Study) (ClinicalTrials.gov).

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumour activity, safety, and tolerability of pamiparib plus tislelizumab in patients with previously treated advanced solid tumours. METHODS: In this study, patients were enrolled into eight arms by tumour type. All received pamiparib 40 mg orally twice daily plus tislelizumab 200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), assessed by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours v1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DoR), safety, and tolerability. RESULTS: Overall, 180 patients were enrolled. In the overall population, the ORR was 20.0% (range: 0-47.4 across study arms), with median DoR of 17.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.2, not estimable [NE]). The highest ORR was observed in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) arm (patients with BRCA1/2 mutations and/or homologous recombination deficiency) (ORR: 47.4%; median DoR: 17.1 months [95% CI: 3.0, NE]). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of ≥Grade 3 occurred in 61.7% of patients. Serious TEAEs occurred in 50.0% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Pamiparib plus tislelizumab showed a variable level of antitumour activity in patients with advanced solid tumours, with the highest ORR in TNBC and was associated with a manageable safety profile.

BACKGROUND: Despite national guideline recommendations, epidermal growth factor receptor mutated (EGFRm) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) patients may still receive suboptimal treatment in the first line (1L). This study evaluated 1L therapy initiation in relation to biomarker testing results and time to next-treatment or death (TTNTD) in patients receiving EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) versus immunotherapy (IO) or chemotherapy. METHODS: Stage IV EGFRm mNSCLC adults that initiated 1L EGFR TKI (first, second, or third generation), IO ± chemotherapy (IO users), or chemotherapy alone from 5/2017-12/2019 were identified from the Flatiron database. Logistic regression estimated the likelihood of initiating treatment before receiving testing results for each therapy. Median TTNTD was evaluated via Kaplan-Meier analysis. Adjusted hazards ratios (HRs) and 95% CI examining the association of 1L therapy with TTNTD were reported from multivariable Cox proportional-hazards models. RESULTS: Among 758 EGFRm mNSCLC patients, EGFR TKI was used as 1L therapy for 87.3% of patients (n = 662), IO in 8.3% (n = 63), and chemotherapy only in 4.4% (n = 33). The majority of IO (61.9%) and chemotherapy only patients (60.6%) initiated therapy before test results were available, compared to 9.7% of EGFR TKIs. The odds of initiating therapy before receiving test results were higher for IO (OR: 19.6, p < 0.001) and chemotherapy alone (OR: 14.1, p < 0.001) in comparison to EGFR TKIs. Compared to IO and chemotherapy, EGFR TKIs had longer median TTNTD (EGFR TKI: 14.8 months, 95% CI: 13.5-16.3; IO: 3.7 months, 95% CI 2.8-6.2; chemotherapy: 4.4 months, 95% CI 3.1-6.8, p < 0.001). EGFR TKI patients had significantly lower risk of initiating second-line therapy or death compared to patients on 1L IO (HR: 0.33, p < 0.001) or 1L chemotherapy (HR: 0.34, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A portion of biomarker testing results were not used to guide 1L therapy. Patients initiating EGFR TKI as 1L therapy had longer TTNTD than IO or chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Although several agents targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertions (ex20ins) have recently been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, toxicities related to the inhibition of wild-type (WT) EGFR are common with these agents and affect overall tolerability. Zipalertinib (CLN-081, TAS6417) is an oral EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with a novel pyrrolopyrimidine scaffold leading to enhanced selectivity for EGFR ex20ins-mutant versus WT EGFR with potent inhibition of cell growth in EGFR ex20ins-positive cell lines. METHODS: This phase 1/2a study of zipalertinib enrolled patients with recurrent or metastatic EGFR ex20ins-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. RESULTS: Seventy-three patients were treated with zipalertinib at dose levels including 30, 45, 65, 100, and 150 mg orally twice a day. Patients were predominantly female (56%), had a median age of 64 years, and were heavily pretreated (median previous systemic therapies 2, range 1-9). Thirty six percent of patients had received previous non-ex20ins EGFR TKIs and 3/73 (4.1%) patients received previous EGFR ex20ins TKIs. The most frequently reported treatment-related adverse events of any grade included rash (80%), paronychia (32%), diarrhea (30%), and fatigue (21%). No cases of grade 3 or higher drug-related rash or diarrhea were observed at 100 mg twice a day or below. Objective responses occurred across all zipalertinib dose levels tested, with confirmed partial response (PR) observed in 28/73 (38.4%) response-evaluable patients. Confirmed PRs were seen in 16/39 (41%) response-evaluable patients at the dose of 100 mg twice a day. CONCLUSION: Zipalertinib has encouraging preliminary antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with EGFR ex20ins-mutant NSCLC, with an acceptable safety profile, including low frequency of high-grade diarrhea and rash.

INTRODUCTION: The KRAS G12C mutation has recently become a druggable target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this observational study, we present real-world clinicopathological characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes data in patients with KRAS mutation-positive advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC), including those with KRAS G12C and KRAS non-G12C mutations, who received docetaxel as standard-of-care treatment in the second-line and beyond (2L+). METHODS: US-based electronic health record-derived de-identified databases were used to assess clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes in adult aNSCLC patients with KRAS mutations treated with 2L+ docetaxel between January 1, 2011, and March 31, 2021. The primary endpoints were median real-world overall survival OS (rwOS) and median real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), which were estimated in 2L, third-line, fourth-line, and 2L+ analysis sets among patients who had a 6-month minimum opportunity for follow-up and were not taking a clinical trial drug. RESULTS: Of the 677 patients with KRAS-mutant aNSCLC (KRAS mutant cohort) treated with 2L+ docetaxel, 295 (43.6%) had KRAS G12C mutation (KRAS G12C cohort) and 382 (56.4%) had KRAS non-G12C mutation (KRAS non-G12C cohort). Across all cohorts, approximately 47%, 35%, 14-15%, and 6-9% of patients received 2L, third-line, fourth-line, and fifth- or later-line docetaxel, respectively. In the KRAS G12C cohort, â¼68% of patients were treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor prior to 2L+ docetaxel. Most 2L+ docetaxel regimens in the KRAS G12C cohort were combinations (59.5%), primarily with ramucirumab (45.2%). In the KRAS G12C cohort, the median rwOS and median rwPFS after 2L+ docetaxel were 6.0 (95% CI, 4.9-7.1) and 3.4 (95% CI, 2.7-4.2) months, respectively, with similar trends observed in other cohorts and lines of therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Real-world outcomes were poor in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated aNSCLC treated with 2L+ docetaxel. Targeted and more efficacious treatment options in these patients are warranted.

PURPOSE: This first-in-human, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd), a novel trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (TROP2)-directed antibody-drug conjugate in solid tumors, including advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adults with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC received 0.27-10 mg/kg Dato-DXd once every 3 weeks during escalation or 4, 6, or 8 mg/kg Dato-DXd once every 3 weeks during expansion. Primary end points were safety and tolerability. Secondary end points included objective response rate (ORR), survival, and pharmacokinetics. RESULTS: Two hundred ten patients received Dato-DXd, including 180 in the 4-8 mg/kg dose-expansion cohorts. This population had a median of three prior lines of therapy. The maximum tolerated dose was 8 mg/kg once every 3 weeks; the recommended dose for further development was 6 mg/kg once every 3 weeks. In patients receiving 6 mg/kg (n = 50), median duration on study, including follow-up, and median exposure were 13.3 and 3.5 months, respectively. The most frequent any-grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were nausea (64%), stomatitis (60%), and alopecia (42%). Grade ≥3 TEAEs and treatment-related AEs occurred in 54% and 26% of patients, respectively. Interstitial lung disease adjudicated as drug-related (two grade 2 and one grade 4) occurred in three of 50 patients (6%). The ORR was 26% (95% CI, 14.6 to 40.3), and median duration of response was 10.5 months; median progression-free survival and overall survival were 6.9 months (95% CI, 2.7 to 8.8 months) and 11.4 months (95% CI, 7.1 to 20.6 months), respectively. Responses occurred regardless of TROP2 expression. CONCLUSION: Promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile were seen with Dato-DXd in heavily pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC. Further investigation as first-line combination therapy in advanced NSCLC and as monotherapy in the second-line setting and beyond is ongoing.
