Abstract 26MO
Background
Patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC harboring HER2 ex20ins mutations have a poor prognosis with no approved targeted therapy. Poziotinib is a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) able to target the inaccessible binding pocket of ex20ins. Cohort 4 of the ZENITH20 phase 2 study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of poziotinib in treatment-naïve pts with advanced HER2 ex20ins NSCLC. Preliminary efficacy and safety of QD dosing in this cohort were presented previously. Here, we present the primary efficacy analysis of the full cohort of 70 patients.
Methods
ZENITH20-4 enrolled pts with locally advanced or metastatic treatment-naïve advanced HER2 ex20ins NSCLC. Poziotinib was administered orally 16 mg QD or 8 mg BID, with optional dose interruptions/reductions for toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by independent review (RECIST 1.1). Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety.
Results
In total, 70 pts (QD, n = 48; BID, n = 22) were treated; 14 remain on study (n = 3 and n = 11, respectively). Demographics were representative of this population. Among those treated with QD and BID dosing, 90% and 68% had dose interruptions, and 79% and 64% required dose reductions, respectively. Treatment-related AEs of any grade occurred in all pts treated with QD and 86% (n = 19) of pts treated with BID dosing. Among grade 3 AEs, the most common were rash (n = 17 [35%]; n = 4 [18%]), stomatitis/mucosal inflammation (n = 10 [21%]; n = 3 [14%]), and diarrhea (n = 7 [15%]; n = 3 [14%]). Combined ORR was 41% (95% CI: 30%, 54%), and 4 pts had unconfirmed responses (uORR = 47%). DCR was 73%, median DoR was 5.7 months (range: 1.2, >19.1), with 34% of pts having a DOR of >6 months, and median PFS was 5.6 months (range: 0, >20.2).
Conclusions
For both QD and BID dosing regimens, poziotinib therapy demonstrated statistically significant clinically meaningful efficacy in pts receiving front-line treatment for HER2 ex20ins NSCLC. Tolerability was improved with BID dosing, and overall AEs were manageable with dose modifications.
