Phase 2 study of intermittent pulse dacomitinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dacomitinib is a second-generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Pre-clinical data suggest that intermittent pulsatile dosing of dacomitinib may result in inhibition of EGFR T790M.

Methods

We evaluated safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of intermittent pulsatile dacomitinib in both molecularly unselected patients and patients with lung cancers harboring EGFR T790M (Clinical Trial Registration Number NCT01858389).

Results

Thirty-eight patients were treated on study with pulse dacomitinib; sixteen with EGFR T790M in Cohort A and 22 who were not molecularly selected in Cohort B. One patient out of 16 patients in Cohort A had a partial response to study therapy (ORR 6.3%, 95% CI 0.2-30.2%). The median
