Abstract 2982
Background
Alflutinib (AST2818) is an irreversible EGFR-TKI selective for EGFR T790M mutation. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of alflutinib in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR T790M mutation, who progressed after the first- or second-generation EGFR-TKI therapy.
Methods
In the phase I/II open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation and dose-expansion studies, patients with confirmed EGFR T790M mutation, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, who progressed after prior EGFR-TKI therapy, received alflutinib ranging from 20 - 240 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with asymptomatic, stable central nervous system (CNS) metastases were included. The primary efficacy endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR), assessed by independent radiological review committee, in patients who received at least 1 dose with measurable disease at baseline in the dose-expansion study. Safety was assessed in all treated patients.
Results
Between Dec 27, 2016, and Oct 30, 2018, 130 (14 from dose-escalation, 116 from dose-expansion) patients received alflutinib treatment (2, 9, 48, 53, 18 patients in 20, 40, 80, 160 and 240 mg groups, respectively). By Oct 30, 2018, 79 (61%) patients remained on treatment. No dose limiting toxicity was observed. Median duration of alflutinib treatment was 226 (range: 3 - 513) days. The ORR in all treated patients was 76.7% (89/116; 95% CI: 68.0 - 84.1), duration of response ranged from 72 - 294+ days, disease control rate was 82.8% (96/116 patients). The ORR in patients with CNS metastases was 58.8% (10/17). No clear dose-response relationship was observed. Among 130 patients, 123 (95%) had treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs, including possibly not-related cases); 21 (16%) patients had grade 3 or 4 TRAEs, with the most common being decreased neutrophil count (4 patients). 20 (15%) patients had 31 serious adverse events (SAEs), 15 (12%) of them had 22 treatment-related SAEs. Five out of six deaths were due to AEs.
Conclusions
Alflutinib has promising efficacy and acceptable toxicity profile for NSCLC patients with EGFR T790M mutation who progressed after EGFR-TKI therapy. Further investigation is ongoing.
