Case Report: Complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant selpercatinib in a patient with resectable early-stage RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: The LIBRETTO-001 trial demonstrated the activity of the selective rearrangement during transfection (RET) inhibitor selpercatinib in advanced RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and resulted in the drug's approval for this indication. A cohort that included neoadjuvant and adjuvant selpercatinib was opened on LIBRETTO-001 for early-stage RET fusion-positive NSCLC with the primary endpoint of major pathologic response. A patient with a stage IB (cT2aN0M0) KIF5B-RET fusion-positive NSCLC received 8 weeks of neoadjuvant selpercatinib at 160 mg twice daily followed by surgery. While moderate regression in the primary tumor (stable disease, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines version 1.1) was observed radiologically, assessment via an Independent Pathologic Review Committee revealed a pathologic complete response (0% viable tumor). This consensus assessment by three independent pathologists was aided by RET fluorescence in situ hybridization testing of a reactive pneumocyte proliferation showing no rearrangement. Neoadjuvant selpercatinib was well-tolerated with only low-grade treatment-emergent adverse events. The activity of prospective preoperative selpercatinib in this case establishes proof of concept of the potential utility of RET inhibitor therapy in early-stage RET fusion-positive NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundRET fusions are oncogenic drivers in 1 to 2% of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). In patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, the efficacy and safety of selective RET inhibition are unknown.MethodsWe enrolled patients with advanced RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and those who were previously untreated separately in a phase 1-2 trial of selpercatinib. The primary end point was an objective response (a complete or partial response) as determined by an independent review committee. Secondary end points included the duration of response, progression-free survival, and safety.ResultsIn the first 105 consecutively enrolled patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had previously received at least platinum-based chemotherapy, the percentage with an objective response was 64% (95% confidence interval [CI], 54 to 73). The median duration of response was 17.5 months (95% CI, 12.0 to could not be evaluated), and 63% of the responses were ongoing at a median follow-up of 12.1 months. Among 39 previously untreated patients, the percentage with an objective response was 85% (95% CI, 70 to 94), and 90% of the responses were ongoing at 6 months. Among 11 patients with measurable central nervous system metastasis at enrollment, the percentage with an objective intracranial response was 91% (95% CI, 59 to 100). The most common adverse events of grade 3 or higher were hypertension (in 14% of the patients), an increased alanine aminotransferase level (in 12%), an increased aspartate aminotransferase level (in 10%), hyponatremia (in 6%), and lymphopenia (in 6%). A total of 12 of 531 patients (2%) discontinued selpercatinib because of a drug-related adverse event.ConclusionsSelpercatinib had durable efficacy, including intracranial activity, with mainly low-grade toxic effects in patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had previously received platinum-based chemotherapy and those who were previously untreated.

Project description:PurposeWe report the intracranial efficacy of selpercatinib, a highly potent and selective RET inhibitor, approved in the United States for RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC).Patients and methodsIn the global phase 1/2 LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128) in advanced RET-altered solid tumors, selpercatinib was dosed orally (160 mg twice every day) in 28-day cycles. Patients with baseline intracranial metastases had MRI/CT scans every 8 weeks for 1 year (12 weeks thereafter). In this pre-planned analysis of patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC with baseline intracranial metastases, the primary endpoint was independently assessed intracranial objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included intracranial disease control rate, intracranial duration of response, and intracranial progression-free survival (PFS) independently reviewed.ResultsEighty patients with NSCLC had brain metastases at baseline. Patients were heavily pretreated (median = 2 systemic therapies, range = 0-10); 56% of patients received ≥1 course of intracranial radiation (14% whole brain radiotherapy, 45% stereotactic radiosurgery). Among 22 patients with measurable intracranial disease at baseline, intracranial ORR was 82% [95% confidence interval (CI), 60-95], including 23% with complete responses. Among all intracranial responders (measurable and nonmeasurable, n = 38), median duration of intracranial response was not reached (95% CI, 9.3-NE) at a median duration of follow-up of 9.5 months (IQR = 5.7, 12.0). At 12 months, 55% of intracranial responses were ongoing. In all 80 patients, median intracranial PFS was 13.7 months (95% CI, 10.9-NE) at a median duration of follow-up of 11.0 months (IQR = 7.4, 16.5). No new safety signals were revealed in patients with brain metastases compared with the full NSCLC trial population.ConclusionsSelpercatinib has robust and durable intracranial efficacy in patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC.
