44 Year Old Woman, Nonsmoker

  • Presented in 2009 with RLL nodule, staging

indicated likely stage IA adenocarcinoma

  • RLL lobectomy: 2.8cm adeno, level 7 node+ (N2;

Stage IIIA), EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation

  • Completed adjuvant cisplatin/pemetrexed and

PORT

  • Enrolled on phase 2 trial of 2 years of adjuvant

erlotinib, required dose reduction to 100mg

  • Completed 2 years of erlotinib in 2011

Case continued

  • Recurrence in right pleural space in 2013
  • Biopsy showed same exon 19 deletion

mutation

  • Restarted erlotinib with partial response
  • Late 2014 had progression (after 14 months)
  • Progressed on chemotherapy and then

nivolumab

  • Rebiopsy in Dec 2015 showed T790M

mutation, started osimertinib, no PD to date

Overview

  • Adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival in

early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

  • EGFR and ALK-targeted therapies are more

effective than chemotherapy in advanced EGFR/ALK+ NSCLC, but do they improve cure rates in earlier stages?

  • Review data on adjuvant targeted therapies
  • Review ongoing adjuvant trials

LACE Meta-Analysis of Adjuvant Cisplatin-Based Chemo in NSCLC

Phase III Trials of EGFR and ALK TKIs vs. Chemotherapy as First-Line Treatment of Patients with Advanced EGFR/ALK+ NSCLC

Study Response Rate PFS LUX-Lung 3 56% vs. 22% 13.6 vs. 6.9 months (HR 0.47) LUX-Lung 6 67% vs. 28% 11 vs. 5.6 months (HR 0.28) EURTAC 58% vs. 14.9% 9.7 vs. 5.2 months (HR 0.37) OPTIMAL 83% vs. 36% 13.1 vs. 4.6 months (HR 0.16) NEJ 002 74% vs. 31% 10.8 vs. 5.4 months (HR 0.30) WJTOG 3405 62% vs. 31% 9.2 vs. 6.3 months (HR 0.49) Profile 1014 (crizotinib) 74% vs. 45% 10.9 vs. 7 months (HR 0.45)

No differences in overall survival!

If TKIs are more effective than chemotherapy in stage 4 disease, why not try them in the adjuvant setting?

  • Adjuvant targeted treatment is proven

effective and approved in

– Breast cancer (hormonal1 and HER2-directed2 therapy) – GIST (cKIT directed therapy, i.e. imatinib3) – Melanoma (anti-CTLA4 i.e. ipilimumab4)

Evidence in Favor? MSK Retrospective Cohort Study

Janjigian et al. J Thoracic Oncol. 2011;6:569. D’Angelo et al., 2012 JTO 7(12); 1815-22.

A retrospective cohort study demonstrated an 89% vs. 72% 2-year DFS in EGFR mutant patients prescribed adjuvant erlotinib or gefitinib compared with untreated patients

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Evidence Against? BR.19

  • Phase 3 trial of adjuvant gefitinib versus

placebo in UNSELECTED early stage NSCLC

  • Halted early after <50% accrued (509 pts)
  • Possible harm in adjuvant TKI arm (HR 1.24)
  • BUT only 15 patients with EGFR mutations

identified so too few to draw conclusions of benefit or harm

Prospective Data to Date for Adjuvant TKIs

  • For ALK? Nothing to date.
  • For EGFR mutant NSCLC, there have been 2

trials completed: RADIANT and SELECT

(n=350) Placebo

(N=973) Randomization stratified by: histology, stage, prior adjuvant chemo, EGFR FISH status, smoking status, country

(n=623) Erlotinib 150mg/day Up to 4 cycles of platinum-based doublet Tumor samples EGFR IHC+ and/or EGFR FISH+ £90 d £180 d

RADIANT Trial Design

  • Radiology assessment: every 3 months on treatment and yearly during long-term

follow up

  • Primary endpoint: DFS
  • Secondary endpoints: OS; DFS and OS in patients with del19/L858R (EGFR M+)

  • 2/3 completed full 2 years of treatment
  • 2-year DFS was 89% compared to expected

76% in historical control (MSK cohort)

  • 29 recurrences, but only 4 on erlotinib
  • Most recurrent pts responded to rechallenge

with TKI, only 1 T790M+ on recurrence

  • DFS consistent with improvements seen in

retrospective cohort and RADIANT subgroup!

Ongoing Adjuvant Trials

  • NCI Cooperative group ALCHEMIST trials
  • Phase 2 trial of 3 yrs vs. 3 months of adjuvant

afatinib (NCCN; NCT01746251)

  • ADAURA Phase 3 trial of 3 yrs of adjuvant
  • simertinib versus placebo in stage IB-IIIA EGFR

mutant NSCLC (NCT02511106)

  • Japanese WJOG 6410L comparing 2 yrs of adjuvant

gefitinib vs. chemo for resected stage II to IIIA EGFR mutant NSCLC

  • Chinese C-TONG 1104 same design

Conclusions

  • Adjuvant EGFR TKIs in early stage EGFR

mutant NSCLC may improve DFS based on consistent signal in multiple studies

  • However, unclear if this will lead to improved

OS or cure rates and so not routinely recommended at this time

  • Support ALCHEMIST and other trials
  • Longer duration of therapy and more tolerable

drugs may be necessary (ADAURA?)
