IntroductionThis integrated analysis of a phase 1/2 study (NCT03046992) evaluated the efficacy and safety of lazertinib, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in patients with advanced EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC after previous EGFR TKI therapy. MethodsAdults with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC that progressed after prior EGFR-directed TKIs received once daily oral lazertinib 240 mg continuously until disease progression. Prior TKIs to treat T790M-positive NSCLC were prohibited. Primary endpoints were safety and objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, overall survival, and intracranial ORR. ResultsA total of 78 patients received lazertinib 240 mg at 17 centers in South Korea. Among patients with T790M-positive tumors at baseline (N = 76), one (1.3%) had a complete response and 41 (53.9%) had partial responses, giving an ORR of 55.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 44.1–66.4). Median progression-free survival was 11.1 months (95% CI: 5.5–16.4). Median overall survival was not reached (median follow-up = 22.0 mo). In patients with measurable intracranial lesions (n = 7), one (14.3%) had a complete intracranial response and five (71.4%) had partial responses, giving an intracranial ORR of 85.7% (95% CI: 59.8%–100.0%). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were rash (37.2%), pruritus (34.6%), and paresthesia (33.3%); most were mild to moderate in severity. Serious drug-related adverse events occurred in three patients (gastritis, pneumonia, pneumonitis). The major mechanism of resistance was EGFR T790M loss. ConclusionsLazertinib 240 mg/d has a manageable safety profile with durable antitumor efficacy, including brain metastases, in patients with advanced T790M-positive NSCLC after previous EGFR TKI therapy.
