3832 - Osimertinib in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): analysis of patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases in a real-world study (ASTRIS)

Background

Approximately 20%–30% of patients (pts) with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC present with CNS metastases at the time of diagnosis of advanced disease. CNS metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. Osimertinib is a third-generation, irreversible, oral EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that potently and selectively inhibits both EGFR-TKI sensitising (EGFRm) and EGFR T790M mutations and in clinical trials has demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC CNS metastases. ASTRIS is the largest ongoing, international, real-world study of osimertinib in EGFR T790M positive advanced NSCLC (NCT02474355). We report a subset analysis of pts with CNS metastases.

Methods

Eligible pts with stage IIIB/IV EGFR T790M positive NSCLC previously treated with an EGFR-TKI received osimertinib 80 mg once-daily. Investigator-assessed (IA) progression-free survival (PFS), clinical response and time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) were analysed in a subset of pts with CNS (leptomeningeal and/or brain) metastases at baseline (BL). Follow-up brain imaging was not mandatory.

Results

From 18 September 2015 to 15 October 2018, 3015 pts across 16 countries had received ≥1 dose of osimertinib (full analysis set [FAS]); 882 (29%) pts presented with CNS metastases at BL. BL demographics were similar between this subset and the FAS (female: 63%/64%; Asian: 69%/69%; median age (range): 61 (27–88) years/62 (27–92); WHO performance status 2: 15%/11%). IA response rates were consistent across the two groups, while median PFS and TTD appeared to be slightly lower in the CNS subset (Table). Overall survival data are immature.Table:

1521P Clinical outcomes for pts with EGFR T790M advanced NSCLC and CNS metastases at BL

CI, confidence interval

Response rate is defined as the percentage of pts with a best response of ’Responding’ by investigator assessment, based on pts with ≥1 documented response assessment. 95% CI is defined by Clopper-Pearson method †Best overall response is defined as the best response by investigator assessment. Pts with no assessments were considered as ’Unknown’

Conclusions

In a real-world setting, over half of pts with EGFR T790M positive advanced NSCLC and CNS metastases responded to treatment with osimertinib 80 mg. These findings support previous clinical research showing clinically meaningful CNS efficacy with osimertinib in advanced NSCLC.
