Phase Ib/II Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Afatinib When Administered As Therapy in Fanconi Anemia Patients with Unresectable and / or Metastatic Locoregionally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity, Oropharynx or Hypopharynx or Larynx.

This research study is a phase Ib/II, single-arm, non-randomized, non-blind, multicenter study designed to determine whether Afatinib is effective and safe in patients with locoregionally unresectable and / or metastatic HNSCC with Fanconi Anemia.
The main hypothesis, based on preclinical evidence, is that treatment with afatinib, an epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), could be an effective treatment option to control cancer for patients with FA - HNSCC.

Ph 1/2 Study of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan(T-DXd) and Afatinib Combination in HER2-low Advanced Gastric Cancer(VIKTORY-2)

Despite recent advances, the prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer remains poor. At present, regimens that combine a platinum and fluorouracil agent either alone or in combination with a third drug such as epirubicin or taxane constitute the most effective treatment option in the first-line metastatic setting, resulting in a median OS of approximately 10 months. In the second-line setting, ramucirumab (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antagonist) was recently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and has demonstrated modest activity in patients with advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma who progressed after first-line platinum- or fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy. Median OS was 5.2 months in the ramucirumab group versus 3.8 months in the placebo group.
At the updated DCO of 03 June 2020 in the DS8201-A-J202 (DESTINY-Gastric01) study in HER2-positive GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma subjects assigned to T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg, T-DXd further demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy. The median OS was 12.5 months for the T-DXd group and 8.9 months for the physician's choice group (HR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.86). In a prespecified subgroup analysis, the percentages of patients with an objective response were analyzed in HER2-low group. The response rate in HER2 2+ was 29% (8 of 28) with T-DXd monotherapy.
Refer to the figure below for the response rate in HER2-low group in previous DESTINY trials.
This is a two part, phase I/Ⅱ, open-label, single center study of afatinib in combination with T-DXd, in 2L/3L gastric cancer patients with HER2-low. The study design allows an investigation of combination dose of afatinib with T-DXd, with intensive safety monitoring to ensure the safety of the patients.

Specifying the choice of EGFR-TKI based on brain metastatic status for advanced NSCLC with EGFR p.L861Q mutation

Article

Author: Li, Jun-Jun ; Liao, Jun ; Zhang, Li ; Zhuang, Wei-Tao ; Fang, Wen-Feng ; Pang, Lan-Lan ; Li, Meng-Di ; Huang, Yi-Hua ; Li, Bing

BACKGROUND:

In-depth insight into the genomic features of the uncommon EGFR p.L861Q mutant NSCLC is scarcely performed, and no consensus on the preferred treatment strategy has been established. Moreover, the therapeutic implications of EGFR-TKI stratified by clinical and molecular features remained largely unknown.

METHODS:

A multi-center NGS database comprising 44,993 NSCLC samples was utilized for the genomic landscape profiling of EGFR p.L861Q mutation. Furthermore, a real-world cohort of 207 patients harboring EGFR p.L861Q mutation with complete treatment history was curated for comprehensive clinical analysis.

RESULTS:

L861Q is prevalent in approximately 2.1% of EGFR-mutated NSCLC and is typically co-mutated with EGFR p.G719X on the same allele (20%) and exhibits co-occurrent EGFR copy number amplification in approximately 17% of cases. In the first-line setting, afatinib and third-generation EGFR-TKI have been shown to yield notably superior treatment outcomes compared to first-generation EGFR-TKI (1^st vs.2^nd vs.3^rd generations, ORR: 15.8% vs.56.5% vs.46.7%, P=0.01; median PFS: 6.4 vs.13.5 vs.15.1 months, P=0.002). This finding consistently held for patients without CNS metastases (1^st vs.2^nd vs.3^rd generations, median PFS:6.0 vs.18.2 vs.14.1 months, P=0.003). In contrast, third-generation EGFR-TKI demonstrated superior efficacy compared to afatinib or first-generation TKI among the subgroup of brain metastasis (Pooled 1^st/2^nd-generation vs.3^rd-generation TKI, brain ORR:0.00% vs.33.33%; median PFS:7.9 vs.19.3 months, P=0.021). Additional concurrent EGFR mutations or EGFR amplification did not yield a discernible impact on the efficacy of EGFR-TKI.

CONCLUSIONS:

The present study comprehensively elucidates the molecular features of EGFR p.L861Q mutation and underscores the optimal therapeutic choice of first-line EGFR-TKI based on brain metastatic status.

INTRODUCTION:

Many clinical studies showed a synergy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors. We hypothesized afatinib plus bevacizumab exerts clinical potency after developing various osimertinib resistant mechanisms.

METHODS:

EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer patients were enrolled after osimertinib resistance. Afatinib at 30-40 mg/day and bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg tri-weekly were administered until progression. Plasma/histologic rebiopsied samples after osimertinib failure were analyzed to examine resistant mechanisms: gene alterations/copy-number gain using cancer personalized profiling by deep sequencing.

RESULTS:

Between January 2018 and October 2020, 28 patients were enrolled. Response and disease control rates were 17.9 % and 78.6 %, respectively. Median duration of response was 9.0 (range, 4.2-22.3) months. Median progression-free and overall survivals were 2.7 and 9.3 months, respectively. Twenty-eight (100 %) plasma and/or 21 (75 %) histologic rebiopsies identified: 17 (61 %) TP53; 15 (54 %) T790M; 9 (32 %) uncommon EGFR; 9 (32 %) MET; 6 (21 %) C797S; 3 (11 %) BRAF; 2 (7 %) HER2; 2 (7 %) KRAS; and 2 (7 %) PI3K mutations. One (17 %) of 6 C797S patients showed complete response. Three (33 %) of 9 uncommon EGFR-mutated patients achieved radiographic response. Neither 15 T790M-positive nor 6 EGFR downstream signaling mutations: BRAF; KRAS; or PI3K-positive patients responded, but 5 (38 %) of 13 T790M-negative patients responded. Adverse events ≥ grade 3 and incidence ≥ 5 % were: hypertension (29 %); proteinuria (7 %); and diarrhea (7 %). There were neither treatment-related death nor interstitial lung disease.

CONCLUSIONS:

Selected population could obtain clinical benefit from afatinib plus bevacizumab, based on rebiopsy results after osimertinib resistance.

MIG6 loss increased RET inhibitor tolerant persister cells in RET-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer

Article

Author: Utsumi, Takahiro ; Yanagitani, Noriko ; Uchibori, Ken ; Koike, Sumie ; Takemoto, Ai ; Nishio, Makoto ; Takagi, Satoshi ; Katayama, Ryohei ; Wei, Xinzhao ; Kondo, Nobuyuki

Recently approved RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown promising therapeutic effects against RET-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or RET-mutated thyroid cancer. However, resistance develops, limiting long-term efficacy. Although many RET-TKI resistance mechanisms, such as secondary mutations in RET or activation of bypass pathways, are known, some primary or acquired resistance mechanisms are unclear. Here, human genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening was performed to identify genes related to drug-tolerant persister cells. Patient-derived cells with RET-fusion were introduced genome-wide sgRNA library and treated with RET-TKI for 9 days, resulting in the discovery of several candidate genes. Knockout of MED12 or MIG6 significantly increased residual drug-tolerant persister cells under RET-TKI treatment. MIG6 loss induced significant EGFR activation even with low concentrations of EGFR ligands and led to resistance to RET-TKIs. EGFR inhibition with afatinib or cetuximab in combination with RET TKIs was effective in addressing drug persistence. By contrast, a KIF5B-RET positive cells established from a RET-rearranged NSCLC patient, showed significant resistance to RET-TKIs and high dependence on EGFR bypass signaling. Consistently, knocking out EGFR or RET led to high sensitivity to RET or EGFR inhibitor respectively. Here, we have provided a comprehensive analysis of adaptive and acquired resistance against RET-rearranged NSCLC.

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus standard of care approved in the U.S. as first and only targeted regimen to cut risk of disease progression by more than half in second-line EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer

Approval based on compelling safety and efficacy from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 study, marking the third new indication for RYBREVANT® this year, with four indications overall RARITAN, N.J., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution mutations, whose disease has progressed on or after treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).1 "RYBREVANT plus chemotherapy may address the most common mechanisms of treatment resistance to third generation EGFR TKIs, such as osimertinib, in the first line," said Martin Dietrich*, M.D., Ph.D., Oncologist, Cancer Care Centers of Brevard. "This multitargeted combination extended progression-free survival and improved overall response compared to chemotherapy alone, offering an important and effective new second-line option for patients." The five-year survival rate is less than 20 percent for all people with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.2,3 Acquired resistance mechanisms after TKI monotherapy are diverse and polyclonal, making targeted therapy at progression more difficult, thus limiting the efficacy of targeted therapies at progression.4,5 Adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy has also failed to demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements.6,7 "The progression-free survival benefits seen in the MARIPOSA-2 study are exciting," said Andrea Ferris**, President and CEO, LUNGevity Foundation. "It is good to see new therapeutic options like the combination of RYBREVANT and chemotherapy helping to address unmet needs impacting individuals with EGFR-mutated lung cancer, with the potential for positive change, which gives hope to more patients and their families." The FDA approval is based on results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 (NCT04988295) study evaluating the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT® in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or L858R substitution mutations after disease progression on or after osimertinib.1 Results showed RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy reduced the risk of disease progression or death (progression-free survival [PFS]) by 52 percent vs. chemotherapy alone, the study's primary endpoint.1 The median PFS for patients receiving RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy was 6.3 months, compared to 4.2 months for chemotherapy alone.1 Additionally, RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy showed a confirmed overall response rate (ORR) of 53 percent compared to 29 percent with chemotherapy alone.1 Amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) in combination with chemotherapy is the only National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) Category 1 treatment option for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC progressing on osimertinib who are symptomatic with multiple lesions.8 †‡ "This milestone reinforces RYBREVANT as an important treatment option for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who continue to face high unmet needs after disease progression on or after TKI therapy," said Kiran Patel, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development, Solid Tumors, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "Patients need and deserve effective, targeted approaches across all lines of therapy. With RYBREVANT-based regimens, we are bringing potential new standards of care to the nearly 30,000 patients diagnosed with EGFR-mutated NSCLC in the United States each year." The safety profile of RYBREVANT® in combination with chemotherapy was consistent with the established profiles of the individual treatments. Permanent discontinuation of RYBREVANT® due to adverse reactions occurred in 11 percent of patients.1 MARIPOSA-2 Publications & Presentations Results from MARIPOSA-2 were first presented in a Presidential Symposium at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress (Abstract #LBA15) and simultaneously published in the Annals of Oncology.9 Regulatory Milestones This approval marks the third new indication for RYBREVANT® this year, following the August 20, 2024, U.S. FDA approval announcement of RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitution mutations, based on the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, and the March 1, 2024, U.S. FDA approval announcement of RYBREVANT® in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed) for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, based on the Phase 3 PAPILLON study.1 On June 17, 2024, Johnson & Johnson also announced the submission of a Biologics License Application to the U.S. FDA for a fixed combination of amivantamab and recombinant human hyaluronidase for subcutaneous administration (SC amivantamab) for all currently approved or submitted indications of intravenous (IV) RYBREVANT®. This application is based on the Phase 3 PALOMA-3 study, with preliminary results which showed a five-fold reduction in infusion-related reactions (IRR) with a five-minute administration of SC amivantamab.10 Longer overall survival (OS), PFS and duration of response (DOR) were also observed with SC amivantamab.10 On August 14, 2024, the U.S. FDA designated this application for Priority Review. About the MARIPOSA-2 Study MARIPOSA-2 (NCT04988295), which enrolled 657 patients, is a randomized, open-label Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two combination regimens of RYBREVANT® (with and without LAZCLUZE™) and chemotherapy.11 Patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR ex19del or L858R substitution NSCLC who had disease progression on or after treatment with osimertinib were randomized to treatment with RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy, RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy with LAZCLUZE™ or chemotherapy alone.11 The dual primary endpoint was used to compare the PFS (using RECIST v1.1 guidelines§) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) for each experimental arm to chemotherapy alone.11 Secondary endpoints included objective response as assessed by BICR, OS, DOR, time to subsequent therapy, PFS2 and intracranial PFS.11 About RYBREVANT® RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw), a fully-human bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET with immune cell-directing activity, is approved in the U.S., Europe, and in other markets around the world as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.1 In the subcutaneous formulation, amivantamab is co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20), Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology. RYBREVANT® is approved in the U.S., Europe, and in other markets around the world in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test. RYBREVANT® is approved in the U.S. in combination with LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitution mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test. A marketing authorization application (MAA) and type II extension of indication application were submitted to the EMA seeking approval of LAZCLUZE™ in combination with RYBREVANT® based on the MARIPOSA study. In November 2023, Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the U.S. FDA for RYBREVANT® in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC who progressed on or after osimertinib based on the MARIPOSA-2 study. This indication was approved in Europe in August 2024. In June 2024, Johnson & Johnson submitted a BLA to the U.S. FDA for the subcutaneous formulation of RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ for all currently approved or submitted indications of IV RYBREVANT® in certain patients with NSCLC. In August 2024, the U.S. FDA designated this application for Priority Review. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for NSCLC¶ prefer next-generation sequencing–based strategies over polymerase chain reaction–based approaches for the detection of EGFR exon 20 insertion variants. The NCCN Guidelines include: Amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) plus lazertinib (LAZCLUZE™) as a Category 1 recommendation for first-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations.8 †‡ Amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) plus chemotherapy as a Category 1 recommendation for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations who experienced disease progression after treatment with osimertinib.8 †‡ Amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) plus carboplatin and pemetrexed as a Category 1 recommendation for first-line therapy in treatment-naive patients with newly diagnosed advanced or metastatic EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive advanced NSCLC, or as a Category 2A recommendation for patients that have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy and have EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.8 †‡ Amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) as a Category 2A recommendation for patients that have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy with or without an immunotherapy and have EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive NSCLC.8 †‡ In addition to MARIPOSA-2, RYBREVANT® is being studied in multiple clinical trials in NSCLC, including: The Phase 3 MARIPOSA (NCT04487080) study assessing RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ versus osimertinib and versus LAZCLUZE™ alone in the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or substitution mutations.12 The Phase 3 PAPILLON (NCT04538664) study assessing RYBREVANT® in combination with carboplatin-pemetrexed versus chemotherapy alone in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.13 The Phase 3 PALOMA-3 (NCT05388669) study assessing LAZCLUZE™ with subcutaneous amivantamab compared to intravenous amivantamab in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC.10 The Phase 1 CHRYSALIS (NCT02609776) study evaluating RYBREVANT® in patients with advanced NSCLC.14 The Phase 1/1b CHRYSALIS-2 (NCT04077463) study evaluating RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ and LAZCLUZE™ as a monotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.15 The Phase 1 PALOMA (NCT04606381) study assessing the feasibility of subcutaneous administration of amivantamab based on safety and pharmacokinetics and to determine a dose, dose regimen and formulation for amivantamab subcutaneous delivery.16 The Phase 2 PALOMA-2 (NCT05498428) study assessing subcutaneous amivantamab in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors including EGFR-mutated NSCLC.17 The Phase 1/2 METalmark (NCT05488314) study assessing RYBREVANT® and capmatinib combination therapy in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.18 The Phase 1/2 PolyDamas (NCT05908734) study assessing RYBREVANT® and cetrelimab combination therapy in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.19 The Phase 2 SKIPPirr study (NCT05663866) exploring how to decrease the incidence and/or severity of first-dose infusion-related reactions with RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ in relapsed or refractory EGFR-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC.20 For more information, visit: .

The median time to IRR onset is approximately 1 hour. RYBREVANT® with LAZCLUZE™ RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ can cause infusion-related reactions. In MARIPOSA (n=421), IRRs occurred in 63% of patients treated with RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™, including Grade 3 in 5% and Grade 4 in 1% of patients. The incidence of infusion modifications due to IRR was 54% of patients, and IRRs leading to dose reduction of RYBREVANT® occurred in 0.7% of patients. Infusion-related reactions leading to permanent discontinuation of RYBREVANT® occurred in 4.5% of patients receiving RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™. RYBREVANT® with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed Based on the pooled safety population (n=281), IRR occurred in 50% of patients treated with RYBREVANT® in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, including Grade 3 (3.2%) adverse reactions. The incidence of infusion modifications due to IRR was 46%, and 2.8% of patients permanently discontinued RYBREVANT® due to IRR. RYBREVANT® as a Single Agent In CHRYSALIS (n=302), IRR occurred in 66% of patients treated with RYBREVANT®. Among patients receiving treatment on Week 1 Day 1, 65% experienced an IRR, while the incidence of IRR was 3.4% with the Day 2 infusion, 0.4% with the Week 2 infusion, and cumulatively 1.1% with subsequent infusions. Of the reported IRRs, 97% were Grade 1-2, 2.2% were Grade 3, and 0.4% were Grade 4. The median time to onset was 1 hour (range 0.1 to 18 hours) after start of infusion. The incidence of infusion modifications due to IRR was 62% and 1.3% of patients permanently discontinued RYBREVANT® due to IRR. Premedicate with antihistamines, antipyretics, and glucocorticoids and infuse RYBREVANT® as recommended. Administer RYBREVANT® via a peripheral line on Week 1 and Week 2 to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion reactions during RYBREVANT® infusion in a setting where cardiopulmonary resuscitation medication and equipment are available. Interrupt infusion if IRR is suspected. Reduce the infusion rate or permanently discontinue RYBREVANT® based on severity. Interstitial Lung Disease/Pneumonitis RYBREVANT® can cause severe and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. RYBREVANT® with LAZCLUZE™ In MARIPOSA, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.1% of patients treated with RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™, including Grade 3 in 1.0% and Grade 4 in 0.2% of patients. There was one fatal case (0.2%) of ILD/pneumonitis and 2.9% of patients permanently discontinued RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE™ due to ILD/pneumonitis. RYBREVANT® with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed Based on the pooled safety population, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.1% treated with RYBREVANT® in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed with 1.8% of patients experiencing Grade 3 ILD/pneumonitis. 2.1% discontinued RYBREVANT® due to ILD/pneumonitis. RYBREVANT® as a Single Agent In CHRYSALIS, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 3.3% of patients treated with RYBREVANT®, with 0.7% of patients experiencing Grade 3 ILD/pneumonitis. Three patients (1%) permanently discontinued RYBREVANT® due to ILD/pneumonitis. Monitor patients for new or worsening symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). For patients receiving RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™, immediately withhold both drugs in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed. For patients receiving RYBREVANT® as a single agent or in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, immediately withhold RYBREVANT® in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed. Venous Thromboembolic (VTE) Events with Concomitant Use of RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE™ RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™ can cause serious and fatal venous thromboembolic (VTE) events, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The majority of these events occurred during the first four months of therapy. In MARIPOSA, VTEs occurred in 36% of patients receiving RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™, including Grade 3 in 10% and Grade 4 in 0.5% of patients. On-study VTEs occurred in 1.2% of patients (n=5) while receiving anticoagulation therapy. There were two fatal cases of VTE (0.5%), 9% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of RYBREVANT®, and 7% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of LAZCLUZE™; 1% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of RYBREVANT®, and 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of LAZCLUZE™; 3.1% of patients had VTE leading to permanent discontinuation of RYBREVANT®, and 1.9% of patients had VTE leading to permanent discontinuation of LAZCLUZE™. The median time to onset of VTEs was 84 days (range: 6 to 777). Administer prophylactic anticoagulation for the first four months of treatment. The use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended. Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE events and treat as medically appropriate. Withhold RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE™ based on severity. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE™ at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. In the event of VTE recurrence despite therapeutic anticoagulation, permanently discontinue RYBREVANT® and continue treatment with LAZCLUZE™ at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. Dermatologic Adverse Reactions RYBREVANT® can cause severe rash including toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), dermatitis acneiform, pruritus, and dry skin. RYBREVANT® with LAZCLUZE™ In MARIPOSA, rash occurred in 86% of patients treated with RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™, including Grade 3 in 26% of patients. The median time to onset of rash was 14 days (range: 1 to 556 days). Rash leading to dose interruptions occurred in 37% of patients for RYBREVANT® and 30% for LAZCLUZE™, rash leading to dose reductions occurred in 23% of patients for RYBREVANT® and 19% for LAZCLUZE™, and rash leading to permanent discontinuation occurred in 5% of patients for RYBREVANT® and 1.7% for LAZCLUZE™. RYBREVANT® with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed Based on the pooled safety population, rash occurred in 82% of patients treated with RYBREVANT® in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, including Grade 3 (15%) adverse reactions. Rash leading to dose reductions occurred in 14% of patients, and 2.5% permanently discontinued RYBREVANT® and 3.1% discontinued pemetrexed. RYBREVANT® as a Single Agent In CHRYSALIS, rash occurred in 74% of patients treated with RYBREVANT® as a single agent, including Grade 3 rash in 3.3% of patients. The median time to onset of rash was 14 days (range: 1 to 276 days). Rash leading to dose reduction occurred in 5% of patients, and RYBREVANT® was permanently discontinued due to rash in 0.7% of patients. Toxic epidermal necrolysis occurred in one patient (0.3%) treated with RYBREVANT® as a single agent. Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment with RYBREVANT® or LAZCLUZE™ in combination with RYBREVANT®. Advise patients to wear protective clothing and use broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen. Alcohol-free (e.g., isopropanol-free, ethanol-free) emollient cream is recommended for dry skin. When initiating RYBREVANT® treatment with or without LAZCLUZE™, administer alcohol-free emollient cream to reduce the risk of dermatologic adverse reactions. Consider prophylactic measures (e.g. use of oral antibiotics) to reduce the risk of dermatologic reactions. If skin reactions develop, start topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics. For Grade 3 reactions, add oral steroids and consider dermatologic consultation. Promptly refer patients presenting with severe rash, atypical appearance or distribution, or lack of improvement within 2 weeks to a dermatologist. For patients receiving RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE™, withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue both drugs based on severity.

Black Diamond Therapeutics Presents Real-World Treatment Practices and Patient Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed NSCLC Patients with Non-Classical Mutations at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024

Treatment data were analyzed from 3,276 cases of patients with newly diagnosed EGFR mutant NSCLC from Guardant Health Analyses of patients with non-classical EGFR mutations reveal that the majority receive frontline chemotherapy and the remainder are treated with osimertinib or afatinib Short time to treatment discontinuation ranging from four to eight months demonstrates clear unmet need for patients with non-classical EGFR mutant NSCLC CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDTX), a clinical-stage oncology company developing MasterKey therapies that target families of oncogenic mutations in patients with cancer, today presented a poster analyzing real-world treatment outcomes for newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with non-classical EGFR mutations (NCMs) at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 taking place September 13-17, in Barcelona, Spain. Of 11,434 sequenced cases of newly diagnosed and treatment-naïve EGFRm NSCLC within the Guardant Health (GuardantINFORM™) clinical-genomic database, first-line treatment information was available and evaluated for 3,276 patients. Results revealed the presence of a broad spectrum of NCMs, including P-loop and αC-helix compressing (PACC) mutations, and allowed correlation with real-world treatment practices and therapeutic outcomes. Findings further demonstrated that current treatment practices for patients with NCMs are heterogenous: 36% of patients received osimertinib or afatinib and 60% of patients received chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. “There is a growing unmet need for new treatments for newly diagnosed NSCLC patients with PACC and other non-classical EGFR mutations,” said John Heymach, M.D., Ph.D., Chair of Thoracic/Head and Neck Medical Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. “Real-world treatment outcomes show that current EGFR TKIs provide little benefit to these patients, and chemotherapy brings significant toxicity, administration burden, and limited efficacy.” Newly diagnosed patients expressing NCMs discontinued osimertinib therapy at a median of 6.0 months versus patients expressing classical mutations, who remained on therapy for 13.8 months. Patients receiving afatinib discontinued therapy at a median of 8.0 months, and the median time to treatment discontinuation for patients on chemotherapy was 4.2 months. “BDTX-1535 was designed to address a broad spectrum of EGFR mutations, with emphasis on non-classical mutations that extend beyond PACC mutations,” said Elizabeth Buck, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of Black Diamond Therapeutics. “BDTX-1535 is the most advanced fourth- generation EGFR TKI in clinical development to address this underserved patient population.” The new real-world results build upon findings presented at the 2024 American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting around the evolving EGFR mutation landscape in NSCLC that revealed more than 100 NCMs, which can be present in 20-30% of newly diagnosed patients. Black Diamond plans to disclose initial Phase 2 data in Q1 2025 in the first-line NCM setting. The company also plans to release initial Phase 2 results in the second/third-line setting later this month. About Black Diamond Therapeutics Black Diamond Therapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology company developing MasterKey therapies that target families of oncogenic mutations in patients with cancer.

How modern trial designs propel cancer therapies to the market - interview

Ravi Karra, VP of Oncology at the service provider Advanced Clinical, explains how advanced imaging techniques and trial designs can overcome the obstacles of taking a cancer drug to market. Clinical drug development is traditionally sequential , going from small phase 1 trials to assess safety all the way to large phase 3 trials and beyond to confirm the drug’s benefits in patients. With increasing adoption of gene and cell therapies, companion diagnostics and precision medicine, however, demand is growing for modern trial designs to support these sophisticated strategies. Based in Deerfield, Illinois, US, Advanced Clinical helps clients to speed up the clinical development of their therapeutic assets. For example, the firm operates as a contract research organization (CRO) and provider for key services in clinical trials including monitoring, trial planning and supply chain management. Ravi Karra, Advanced Clinical’s VP of Oncology, tells us how the use of more adaptive clinical trial designs and imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) are propelling drug development and clinical trials in the cancer space. How is the landscape of oncology drug development evolving, particularly for solid tumors? The field of oncology drug development is undergoing significant changes, especially for solid tumors. The rise of immunotherapies and cell and gene therapies requires new, more efficient and effective methods for designing and evaluating clinical trials. By using innovative trial designs and advanced imaging techniques, we can better address the unique challenges of early drug development and ultimately improve patient outcomes. googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('text-ad1'); }); What are the main challenges associated with the traditional model of drug development? The traditional linear and sequential drug development model faces several challenges, particularly in the context of modern therapies like immunotherapy and cell and gene therapies. It involves lengthy timelines for Go/No-Go decisions and high costs, making it difficult to make timely decisions about the continuation or termination of trials based on safety and efficacy data. The absence of strong biomarkers also complicates patient stratification and the personalization of treatment approaches. What can help overcome these challenges? Innovative trial designs, such as seamless adaptive designs, can significantly mitigate these issues. These designs enable a smooth transition from phase 1 to phase 2 within the same protocol, which helps to avoid delays caused by protocol and trial initiation processes. This approach speeds up the development timeline and reduces costs. Also, adaptive designs facilitate real-time data analysis and decision-making, allowing for more informed Go/No-Go decisions as new safety and efficacy data become available. Can you explain the role of advanced imaging modalities in oncology trials? Advanced imaging modalities, including functional MRI, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET scans and digital biomarkers, provide crucial insights into tumor biology and the patient's response to treatment. Unlike traditional imaging, which focuses on anatomical changes, these advanced techniques offer functional and molecular data. This allows for earlier detection of how tumors respond to treatments and helps identify predictive biomarkers, enhancing the overall accuracy and effectiveness of clinical trials. Could you provide an example of how innovative trial designs and advanced imaging modalities have been successfully integrated? A great example is the use of advanced imaging in the preoperative treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with the drug afatinib. In this ‘window of opportunity’ trial, FDG-PET and MRI were employed to evaluate the tumor's response to afatinib before surgery. This integration of advanced imaging allowed researchers to assess treatment efficacy and safety in real time, which informed subsequent clinical decisions and development strategies. What is the overall impact of integrating innovative trial designs and advanced imaging on drug development for solid tumors? Integrating innovative trial designs with advanced imaging techniques is a multifaceted approach that accelerates the translation of promising therapies from research to clinical practice. By combining adaptive methodologies and sophisticated imaging, we can speed up the process of bringing effective treatments to patients, ultimately leading to better outcomes for those patients with solid tumors.
