Selpercatinib (LOXO-292) in patients with RET-fusion+ non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract

3584 Background: Selpercatinib (LOXO-292) is a highly selective and potent small molecule RET kinase inhibitor. Here we report an update on the efficacy and safety of selpercatinib in RET-fusion+ non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Patients with RET-fusion+ NSCLC were enrolled to the Phase 1/2 LIBRETTO-001 trial (NCT03157128), a global, multicenter trial (16 countries, 89 sites). Following the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the trial, patients received the recommended dose of 160 mg orally twice daily. Each cycle was 28 days. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DoR) and safety. Per health authority agreement, the primary analysis set was defined as the first 105 consecutively enrolled patients previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Treatment-naïve patients were analyzed separately. All analyses were based on a 16-Dec-2019 data cutoff date. Results: In the primary analysis set of platinum-treated patients (median of 3 prior systemic regimens; range 1-15), the ORR by investigator assessment was 70% (95% CI 59.8–78.1, n = 73/105). Responses did not differ by fusion partner or number or type of prior therapies, including anti-PD-1/PD-L1 agents and off-label multikinase inhibitor use. The median DoR was 20.3 months (95% CI 15.6–24.0) with 45 of 73 (62%) responders censored at a median follow-up of 14.8 months. Among 39 treatment-naïve patients, the ORR by investigator assessment was 90% (95% CI 75.8–97.1, n = 35/39, including 2 responses pending confirmation). Median DoR was not reached with 27 of 33 (82%) confirmed responses ongoing at a median follow-up of 7.4 months. In the safety analysis set consisting of all selpercatinib dosed patients (N = 702), the most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) that occurred in ≥15% of patients were dry mouth (33.3%), increased AST (24.5%), increased ALT (23.8%), hypertension (23.2%), diarrhea (19.7%), and fatigue (16.8%). Only 2% (14 of 702) of patients discontinued selpercatinib for TRAEs. Conclusions: Selpercatinib achieved marked and durable antitumor activity in patients with RET-fusion+ NSCLC. Selpercatinib was well tolerated. Efficacy data assessed by independent review committee based on the 16-Dec-2019 data cutoff date will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT03157128 .
