Abstract 2855
Background
The RELAY (NCT02411448) phase III study demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for ERL plus RAM (RAM+ERL) versus ERL plus PL (PL+ERL) in patients with previously untreated EGFR mutation (mut)-positive (EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 mut (L858R)) mNSCLC (median PFS 19.4 vs 12.4mo, HR 0.591 (95% CI 0.461–0.760), p < 0.0001). EGFR sensitizing and T790M mut status was monitored in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from patients who participated in the Japan liquid biopsy exploratory substudy.
Methods
Plasma samples were collected before and during treatment (Baseline, Cycle 4, 13 and every 6 cycles up to Cycle 53) as well as post-discontinuation (the 30-day follow-up). Isolated ctDNA of plasma were subjected to droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to determine EGFR mut status. Statistical analyses for T790M were performed for the population of patients with disease progression who had valid results from baseline and 30 day follow-up.
Results
The ddPCR population included 42 patients and had a similar PFS HR (0.61, 95% CI 0.33-1.15) to the full ITT population. The rates of EGFR T790M mut positivity at the 30-day follow-up were not different between treatment groups: 26% (5 of 19) (95% CI 12-49%) in RAM+ERL and 30% (7 of 23) (95% CI, 16-51%) in PL+ERL (p = 1.0). When evaluating the cumulative post-progression T790M rates according to the number of cycles received prior to disease progression, the rates for patients who had progressed by Cycle 4, Cycle 12, or Cycle 53 were 0%, 17% and 26% for RAM+ERL, and 0%, 33%, and 30% for PL+ERL, suggesting that RAM+ERL potentially may delay the occurrence of resistance by the T790M mutation.
Conclusions
Treatment with RAM+ERL resulted in superior PFS, with similar T790M rates at progression as compared to PL+ERL, suggesting the potential for effective EGFR-directed therapy after progression on RAM+ERL.
