Abstract
Aim
Dacomitinib is an irreversible pan-HER kinase inhibitor with activity in advanced NSCLC. In a Phase 2 trial in pt previously treated with chemotherapy, D showed improved PFS compared to E (median PFS 12 .4 weeks vs. 8.3 weeks; HR 0.66, P = 0.0120). A Phase 3 has been completed (Proc ASCO 2014, Abs 8018).
Methods
The ARCHER 1009 trial randomized patients (pt) with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC following progression with 1 or 2 prior chemotherapy regimens to blinded treatment with D (45 mg PO QD) or E (150 mg PO QD). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) per independent review in the co-primary populations [all patients and those with KRAS WT]. Stratification factors were histology, smoking status, ECOG and Asian versus non-Asian/ Indian race.
Results
Of 878 pt enrolled, 174 (20%) were self-designated as Asian.
The PFS per investigator for Asian pt favored D with HR = 0.811 (95% CI: 0.584-1.125, p value, 1-sided = 0.105); median PFS is 3.7 vs 2.8 months in D and E arms respectively. The Response Rate (CR + PR) was 30.3%and 21.2% in D and E respectively with an odds ratio of 1.62 (95% CI: 0.81-3.23). The most common adverse events for D vs E were diarrhea (79.8 vs 65.9%), rash (42.7 vs 42.4%) or dermatitis acneiform (42.7 vs 52.9%) and stomatitis (65.2 vs 41.2 %) and led to discontinuation in 9 pt on D vs 7 on E.
| Dacomitinib (n= 89) | Erlotinib (n= 85) | |
|---|---|---|
| Age, median (range) | 60.4 (38.0-88.8) | 59.1 (40.0-90.0) |
| ECOG 0-1/ 2 (%) | 93.3/6.7 | 94.1/5.9 |
| Male/ female (%) | 67.4/32.6 | 61.2/38.8 |
| Smoker/ non-Smoker (%) | 66.3/33.7 | 64.7/35.3 |
| KRAS wt/ mu/ unknown(%) | 58.4/7.9/33.7 | 68.2/3.5/28.2 |
| EGFR Activating mutation (exon 19, 21 or 18) | 24 (27%) | 20 (23.5%) |
Conclusions
The ARCHER 1009 trial suggested improvement in efficacy for D relative to E in Asian patients. The number of patients with EGFRmu was similar between arms. Treatment discontinuation for drug toxicity was uncommon. Survival data is not mature.
