Abstract 2799
Background
A Phase I open-label multicenter study was initiated to evaluate the association of T-cell lymphocyte-4 (CTLA-4) inhibitor Trem with Gef in progressing EGFR-mut NSCLC (NCT02040064).
Methods
Key inclusion criteria included advanced NSCLC with an EGFR-mut, progression after a response on any prior EGFR TKI (first line or beyond), adequate PS (0-1). The primary objective was to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of Gef (oral 250mg once-daily) with escalating doses of Trem (starting dose of 3mg/kg IV every 4 weeks for 6 cycles and beyond every 12 weeks) and to establish a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). A rolling 6 design and a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) period of 42 days were applied. Three escalating doses of Trem were pre-planned (3, 6 and 10mg/kg).
Results
Between January, 2014 and March, 2015, 26 stage IV pts (20pts in the escalating dose cohorts and 6 in expansion cohort pts at RP2D) received at least one dose of Trem (median age of 66 years, female 65%, never smoker 61% and 61% had received ≥2 lines). Previous line was an EGFR-TKI in 77% of pts. DLTs occurred in 5 pts, 1 at 3mg/Kg (grade 3 colitis), 2 at 6mg/Kg (one grade 3 colitis and one AST-ALT increase grade 3 in expansion cohort) and 2 at 10mg/Kg (one grade 3 diarrhea and one AST-ALT increase grade 3) of Trem. All toxicities were reversible with discontinuation of Trem. Most common (≥20%) adverse events (AEs/grade 3-4 AEs) were diarrhea (92%/27%), asthenia (77%/4%), dry skin (54%/4%), nausea (38%/4%), anorexia (27%/8%), dyspnea (42%/0%), colitis (19%/4%), and vomiting (27%/4%). No pneumonitis or increases in cutaneous toxicity related to treatments were observed. Twenty four pts were evaluable for response. The best overall response was stable disease in 67% of pts (18/24pts, 69% at 3mg/Kg, 50% at 6mg/Kg and 80% at 10mg/Kg). All pts discontinued treatment after median duration of 8 weeks (range: 2 to 77 weeks), most frequently due to disease progression (60% of pts).
Conclusions
The recommended dose of Trem in phased combination with Gef in EGFR-mut pts with NSCLC was identified as 3mg/kg. Antitumor activity was stable disease in two thirds of pts. The safety profile was consistent with the previously defined AE profile.
