LBA2 - TATTON expansion cohorts: A phase Ib study of osimertinib plus savolitinib in patients (pts) with EGFR-mutant, MET-positive NSCLC following disease progression on a prior EGFR-TKI

Background

Preliminary data from TATTON (NCT02143466, a multi-arm, multi-drug combination study) suggested that adding savolitinib (AZD6094, HMPL-504, volitinib), a potent and highly selective MET TKI, to osimertinib, a 3^rd generation, irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI), which selectively inhibits EGFR TKI sensitising (EGFRm) and T790M resistance mutations, may overcome MET-driven resistance to EGFR TKIs. We present updated data from TATTON Part B and data from Part D, for the first time.

Methods

Pts were ≥18 years (Japan ≥20 years), mainly Asian, with locally advanced/metastatic, MET-positive, EGFRm NSCLC and disease progression on prior therapy. Pts enrolled based on MET status by local fluorescent in-situ hybridisation (MET gene copy ≥5 or MET/CEP7 ratio ≥2), next-generation sequencing or immunohistochemistry (+3 in ≥ 50% of tumour cells), with retrospective central confirmation. Pts in Part B received osimertinib 80 mg + savolitinib 600 mg or 300 mg orally (PO) once daily (QD). Pts in Part D received osimertinib 80 mg + savolitinib 300 mg PO QD, were T790M negative and had received no prior 3^rd generation EGFR TKI. Primary endpoints: safety and tolerability; secondary endpoints included objective response rate and progression-free survival.

Results

In Parts B (N = 138) and D (N = 42); Grade ≥3 AEs reported by 57% and 38%, respectively; serious AEs reported by 45% and 26%, respectively. AEs possibly related to treatment, led to discontinuation of savolitinib in 38 (28%) vs 9 (21%) and osimertinib in 14 (10%) vs 2 (5%), for Parts B and D, respectively. Efficacy data: Table.Table:

LBA2 Efficacy endpoints

Best response data are for patients who had an opportunity to have two follow-up scans.

All confirmed responses were partial response.

Conclusions

Our results support that osimertinib + savolitinib may overcome MET-driven resistance to EGFR TKIs, and warrant further exploration of the osimertinib 80 mg + savolitinib 300 mg combination in the SAVANNAH (NCT03778229) and ORCHARD (NCT03944772) studies.
