Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Entrectinib in ROS1 Fusion-Positive NSCLC.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Entrectinib is an approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC. An updated integrated analysis of entrectinib from the ALKA-372-001, STARTRK-1, and STARTRK-2 trials is presented, with substantially longer follow-up, more patients, and the first description of the median overall survival (OS). An exploratory analysis of entrectinib in ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC with the central nervous system (CNS)-only progression post-crizotinib is reported.

Methods

Adults with ROS1 fusion-positive, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who received at least one dose of entrectinib and had 12 months or longer of follow-up were included in the analysis. Co-primary end points were confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) by blinded independent central review. The data cutoff was on August 31, 2020.

Results

The efficacy-assessable population comprised 168 ROS1 TKI-naïve patients. The median survival follow-up was 29.1 months (interquartile range, 21.8-35.9). The ORR was 68% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 60.2-74.8); the median DoR was 20.5 months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 15.7 months and the median OS was 47.8 months. In the 25 patients with measurable baseline CNS metastases, the intracranial ORR was 80% (95% CI: 59.3-93.2), median intracranial DoR was 12.9 months, and median intracranial PFS was 8.8 months. Among 18 patients with CNS-only progression on previous crizotinib treatment, two achieved a partial response (11%) and four had stable disease (22%). In seven patients with measurable CNS disease from this cohort, the intracranial ORR was 14% (1 partial response).

Conclusions

Entrectinib is active and achieves prolonged survival in ROS1 TKI-naïve patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC. Modest activity is seen in patients with CNS-only progression post-crizotinib.

Project description:BackgroundRecurrent gene fusions, such as ROS1 fusions, are oncogenic drivers of various cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Up to 36% of patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC have brain metastases at the diagnosis of advanced disease. Entrectinib is a ROS1 inhibitor that has been designed to effectively penetrate and remain in the CNS. We explored the use of entrectinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC.MethodsWe did an integrated analysis of three ongoing phase 1 or 2 trials of entrectinib (ALKA-372-001, STARTRK-1, and STARTRK-2). The efficacy-evaluable population included adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC who received entrectinib at a dose of at least 600 mg orally once per day, with at least 12 months' follow-up. All patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and previous cancer treatment (except for ROS1 inhibitors) was allowed. The primary endpoints were the proportion of patients with an objective response (complete or partial response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1) and duration of response, and were evaluated by blinded independent central review. The safety-evaluable population for the safety analysis included all patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC in the three trials who received at least one dose of entrectinib (irrespective of dose or duration of follow-up). These ongoing studies are registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02097810 (STARTRK-1) and NCT02568267 (STARTRK-2), and EudraCT, 2012-000148-88 (ALKA-372-001).FindingsPatients were enrolled in ALKA-372-001 from Oct 26, 2012, to March 27, 2018; in STARTRK-1 from Aug 7, 2014, to May 10, 2018; and in STARTRK-2 from Nov 19, 2015 (enrolment is ongoing). At the data cutoff date for this analysis (May 31, 2018), 41 (77%; 95% CI 64-88) of 53 patients in the efficacy-evaluable population had an objective response. Median follow-up was 15·5 monhts (IQR 13·4-20·2). Median duration of response was 24·6 months (95% CI 11·4-34·8). In the safety-evaluable population, 79 (59%) of 134 patients had grade 1 or 2 treatment-related adverse events. 46 (34%) of 134 patients had grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events, with the most common being weight increase (ten [8%]) and neutropenia (five [4%]). 15 (11%) patients had serious treatment-related adverse events, the most common of which were nervous system disorders (four [3%]) and cardiac disorders (three [2%]). No treatment-related deaths occurred.InterpretationEntrectinib is active with durable disease control in patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC, and is well tolerated with a manageable safety profile, making it amenable to long-term dosing in these patients. These data highlight the need to routinely test for ROS1 fusions to broaden therapeutic options for patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC.FundingIgnyta/F Hoffmann-La Roche.
