Abstract 2569
Background
MEK inhibition may overcome resistance to EGFR inhibition alone in patients (pts) with RAS wt mCRC. We evaluated the antitumor activity of T (MEK1/2 inhibitor) with Pmab (EGFR monoclonal antibody) in a phase II trial.
Methods
Pts with KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF wt mCRC with prior 5-FU, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, +/- bevacizumab and no prior EGFR therapy were treated with T 1.5mg oral daily and Pmab 4.8mg/kg IV every 2 weeks. Primary endpoint was clinical benefit (CB; CR, PR or SD ≥ 24 weeks) by RECIST v1.1. A 2-stage minimax design (p0=0.20, p1=0.45, 1-sided alpha=0.05, power=0.85) required ≥4/13 patients with CB in stage I and ≥8/26 patients with CB by end of stage II. Response assessments were performed every 4 cycles (C). Adverse events (AEs) were assessed by CTCAE v4.03. Tumor biopsies were performed before C1 and during C2. Plasma circulating free DNA (cfDNA) collected before C1, C2, C3 and every 2 subsequent C and were profiled using the Oncomine Lung cfDNA assay.
Results
There were 13 pts enrolled from Nov2015 to Dec2018. Of 12 evaluable patients, best response was confirmed PR (n = 3), unconfirmed PR (n = 5), and SD (n = 4) (unconfirmed ORR 67%). Two patients achieved CB ≥ 24 weeks (2/10; 20%) and two patients are still on trial with PR not yet evaluable for CB. The most common treatment-related AE (trAE) was acneiform rash (85%) including 31% with grade 3. Other trAEs were diarrhea (62%), mucositis (46%), maculopapular rash (54%), and vomiting (31%). Dose modifications and interruptions of T occurred in 69% of patients and 54% of patients receiving Pmab had dose modifications. Median PFS is 4.4 months (95% CI 2.9-7.1). Of 3 pts with serial cfDNA profiling results available, none had KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF mutations detectable before treatment, and 1 patient demonstrated polyclonal KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations at C5 before radiographic progression at C9.
Conclusions
The addition of T to Pmab leads to a high rate of tumor shrinkage in RAS/RAF wt mCRC. Median PFS is similar to Pmab alone in the ASPECCT trial, which may be due to a high incidence of skin toxicity with the combination that leads to dose interruption and/or reduction. Additional results from cfDNA and tumor biopsies will be presented.
