4356 - Impact of Lorlatinib on Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Patients (Pts) With Advanced ALK+ or ROS1+ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Background

Lorlatinib is a selective, potent, brain-penetrant, third-generation ALK/ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor with robust clinical activity in pts with ALK-positive (ALK+) or ROS1-positive (ROS1+) advanced NSCLC. The phase 1/2 study (NCT01970865) assessed lorlatinib in pts with ALK+ or ROS1+ NSCLC based on prior treatment. Phase 2 efficacy/safety was previously reported. Here, we present PRO results.

Methods

In this ongoing open-label, multicenter study, pts received lorlatinib 100 mg once daily. Global quality of life (QoL), pt functioning and symptoms were assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and the Lung Cancer 13 module (QLQ-LC13) at baseline (BL) and on day 1 of each cycle. Higher scores indicated higher functioning/QoL or greater symptom severity. Change from BL (ΔBL) was summarized; a ≥ 10-point ΔBL (improved or worsened) was considered clinically meaningful. An average of mean ΔBL was calculated for each pt across cycles to determine the proportion of pts with a clinically meaningful change.

Results

Median treatment duration was 8.3 months. Interim PRO data were analyzed through cycle 24; the completion rate was ≥94%. Clinically meaningful improvements from BL were seen for global QoL; most pts had improved (43%) or stable (neither improved nor worsened) scores (40%). Clinically meaningful improvements occurred in functioning domains and symptoms; further details will be presented. The highest proportion of pts improved in emotional (38%), role (38%) and social (34%) functioning domains. Proportions of pts with improved/stable/worse cognitive functioning were 24%/51%/24%. Most pts had improved or stable symptom scores; the greatest proportions of pts improved for symptoms of fatigue (49%), insomnia (45%) and appetite loss (42%) on QLQ-C30 and cough (44%), pain in other parts (33%) and pain in chest (30%) on QLQ-LC13. The symptom with the greatest proportion of pts with clinically meaningful worsening was peripheral neuropathy (38%).

Conclusions

Lorlatinib showed favorable clinical benefit and improvements in global QoL, functioning and key NSCLC symptoms in pts with ALK+ or ROS1+ NSCLC.
