Efficacy and safety of lorlatinib in patients (pts) with ALK+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with one or more prior ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI): A phase I/II study.

Abstract

9006 Background: Lorlatinib is a selective, potent, brain-penetrant, next generation ALK/ROS1 TKI active against most known resistance mutations. In Ph I of this Ph I/II study, lorlatinib showed robust clinical activity in ALK+ or ROS1+ advanced NSCLC pts, most of whom had CNS metastases (mets) and were heavily pre-treated. In Ph II of this study, efficacy was explored based on prior ALK TKI tx as well as safety across all patients treated at the recommended Ph II dose. Methods: In this ongoing Ph II study (NCT01970865), pts with ALK+ or ROS1+ NSCLC, ± asymptomatic untreated or treated CNS mets, were enrolled into 6 expansion cohorts (EXP) based on prior tx (EXP 1-5, ALK+) and rearrangement status (EXP 6, ROS1+). Pts received lorlatinib 100mg QD. Primary objective was ORR and intracranial ORR (IC-ORR) by independent central review (ICR). Results: Efficacy (ALK+ pts with prior tx): At data cut-off (15 Aug 2016), 82 ALK+ pts were enrolled in cohorts EXP 2-5, received C1 no later than 31 Mar 2016 and were evaluated for ORR (ITT population); 52 were evaluated for IC-ORR and 35 were evaluated for IC-ORR response based on target lesions only (≥5mm; no prior radiotherapy or progression post prior radiotherapy). Confirmed response rates by ICR are reported in the table below. Safety (all pts): 116 ALK/ROS1+ pts were evaluated for safety at data cut-off. Most common tx-related AEs (TRAEs) and grade 3/4 TRAEs were hypercholesterolemia (90%, 17%) and hypertriglyceridemia (72%, 17%). Dose interruptions and reductions due to TRAEs were reported in 29% and 20% of pts, respectively. 14% of pts had tx-related SAEs. 5 pts (4%) discontinued tx due to TRAEs and there were no tx-related deaths. 74/116 pts (64%) remain on tx. Conclusions: Lorlatinib showed compelling clinical activity, with substantial IC activity, in ALK+ pts who received ≥1 prior ALK TKI, many of whom were heavily pre-treated. Clinical trial information: NCT01970865. [Table: see text]
