Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Dacomitinib irreversibly inhibits EGFR, HER2 and HER4, and showed superior activity vs. reversible EGFR TKI in EGFR-mutant lung cancer models, including resistant forms. This open-label Phase II study evaluates dacomitinib in patients with EGFR-mutant or HER2-amplified or -mutant advanced NSCLCs. Methods Patients had stage IIIB/IV adenocarcinoma, no prior systemic treatment (EGFR cohort), had smoked Results 89 patients were enrolled and dosed in the EGFR cohort; 46 had EGFR mutation in exons 19 (n = 25) or 21 (n = 21) and 32 (70%) were female. 34/46 evaluable patients with EGFR exon 19 or 21 mutations had a PR (PR rate = 74%; 95% CI: 59–86; exon 19 = 72%; exon 21 = 76%). Preliminary PFS were similar for exons 19 and 21. Preliminary PFS@4M was 96% (95% CI: 84–99), preliminary PFS rate at 12 months was 74% (95% CI: 59–85) and preliminary median PFS was 17 months (95% CI: 13–24). Median duration of tx was 14 months. To date, 17 patients have been dosed in the HER2 cohort (3 with amplification). For 16 patients with response data, there are 2 PR (1 confirmed), both with HER2 mutation. 5 patients had SD as their best response. Common side effects included dermatitis acneiform (grade 3/4 = 16.9%/0) and diarrhea (13.5%/0). 5 patients in total discontinued treatment due to drug-related toxicity. Conclusions 74% of patients with EGFR exon 19 or 21 mutant lung cancers experienced PRs with 1st-line dacomitinib; preliminary PFS rate was 74% at 1 year; preliminary median PFS was 17 months; PR rates and preliminary PFS were similar for patients with EGFR exon 19 and 21 mutations; further research is planned in these patient populations. There are early signs of activity of dacomtinib in targeting HER2 in advanced NSCLCs and recruitment continues. Disclosure M.
