#OncoAlert #AACR20 Results from phase II study of camrelizumab (SHR-1210, anti-PD-1) plus apatinib in #SCLC presented by Dr. Jie Wang. Camrelizumab is approved in China for Hodgkin lymphoma and has shown promise in HCC. Here, results from single arm phase II. #LCSM

#OncoAlert #AACR20 Stage I included three different schedules of apatinib delivery (camrelizumab is given IV q2w). The apatinib 375mg qday schedule was chosen for stage 2. Included chemo-sensitive and resistant #SCLC, using a 90-day platinum-free interval cutoff. #LCSM

#OncoAlert #AACR20 Patient characteristics reveal a slightly higher proportion of never-smokers (10/47, 21%). #SCLC strongly linked to smoking but can be seen in never smokers (4.5% in IMpower 133). Spontaneous transformation from #EGFR? Different outcomes in this group? #LCSM

#OncoAlert #AACR20 Camrelizumab plus apatinib qday had a RR of 34% including a 32.3% RR in chemo-resistant #SCLC. Encouraging activity. Median duration of response 6.2 months with many ongoing responses. Recall 3L nivo RR 11.9%, 3L pembro RR 19.3%. Is this notably better? #LCSM

#OncoAlert #AACR20 RR encouraging but hard to interpret single arm phase II. What is the contribution of apatinib? VEGFR2 + PD1 is an exciting combination but would we have seen the same results (but less tox) with camrelizumab alone? Need a comparator arm. #LCSM

#OncoAlert #AACR20 Adverse events included #VEGF-related tox. How does this apply in IMp133/CASPIAN world where IO is delivered with 1L therapy? I would welcome more novel agents for #SCLC, but hoping to see biomarker work from this trial and a follow up randomized effort. #LCSM

Dr. @marinagarassino at #WCLC24 Presidential Plenary presents Normalized Membrane Ratio of TROP2 as a biomarker for datopotamab deruxtecan in TROPION-Lung01 (Dato-DXd vs docetaxel in previously treated NSCLC which previously showed PFS benefit with Dato-DXd.

#WCLC24 TROP2 IHC has been a poor predictive marker. Normalized Membrane Ratio (NMR) factors in receptor internalization. Ratio is membrane expression over membrane plus cytoplasmic expression (using optical density from digitized slide) and lower would be more favorable.

#WCLC24 TROP2 QCS-NMR seems to be a much better predictor of benefit with datopotamab deruxtecan in BEP and in non-sq non-AGA subset: in NMR+, PFS HR 0.57 and KM shows clear separation.

Dr. Shun Lu presents interim results from the perioperative NEOTORCH study at the #ASCOPlenarySeries. Randomized pts with resectable stage II/III NSCLC to perioperative chemotherapy with toripalimab (anti-PD1) vs placebo. Another entry in the perioperative space? #LCSM

Includes resectable stage II/III (AJCC v8), EGFR/ALK wild type NSCLC. Pts receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + toripalimab vs placebo then surgery then 1 more cycle of adjuvant chemo (+tori/pbo) then 13 doses of maintenance toripalimab vs placebo. #ASCOPlenarySeries

First interim EFS analysis only for stage III. Includes 404 pts - but 926 screened. Would be interesting to see specific eligibility criteria not met in screening process. Reminder of how selected trial populations are and value of future real-world analyses. #ASCOPlenarySeries

Impressive data from #AEGEAN at #AACR23 from Dr. John Heymach and colleagues. This is the first of several phase III peri-operative IO studies in resectable NSCLC combining neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy followed by adjuvant immunotherapy.

Included stage IIA-IIIB (AJCC v8) with no EGFR/ALK & excluded pts who would require pneumonectomy. Large study with n=801 (CM816 was n=358). Pts received 4 cycles (not 3) of platinum-based chemo with durvalumab (anti-PDL1) or placebo, then surgery, then durvalumab / placebo x 1y.

Almost 75% received carboplatin over cisplatin. Global study; fairly even PDL1 distribution. 80% of pts went to surgery, 78% completed resection (90-95% of those were R0). Overall, 66% of pts began adjuvant phase (but 90% of those who had an R0 resection had adjuvant therapy).

There is a lot to consider in this first-line study of the #KRAS G12C inhibitor adagrasib plus pembrolizumab from #ESMOImmuno22. Some pleasant surprises in terms of safety. Definitely encouraging but need to see a bit more to be sold on this strategy. 🤔 #LCSM

We're looking for synergy with the two agents - more than an additive effect. Reason to believe there will be based on preclinical data showing the effect on T-cell infiltration from #KRAS inhibition. Similar to what has been shown with MEK inhibition. #ESMOImmuno22

The first-line dataset includes the phase Ib KRYSTAL-1 and the phase II KRYSTAL-7. In KRYSTAL-1 (n=7), 4/7 had a response and all were durable (>9m). G3 TRAEs in 4 pts (lipase elevation, LFTs, muscular pain, pneumothorax). #ESMOImmuno22

@ZPiotrowskaMD

Dr. @ZPiotrowskaMD presents initial results from the ELIOS trial at #ESMO22 - molecular profiling of #EGFR mutant NSCLC after progression on 1L osimertinib.

In this study of highly motivated pts at esteemed sites, evaluable paired biopsy at PD only available in 46/115 pts (40%). Interestingly, 75 pts (65%) had paired biopsy but 27 failed NGS (23%). Speaks somewhat to the real world feasibility of a repeat biopsy approach. #ESMO22

Common co-mutations at baseline included TP53, EGFR amp, and CDKN2A loss. Acquired alterations included MET amp, EGFR C797S, ALK fusion, NKX2-1 amp. Mostly mutually exclusive. #ESMO22

Dr. Silvia Novello presents 5y update on KEYNOTE 407 (platinum plus tax and +/- pembrolizumab for 1L squamous NSCLC #ESMO22

With longer follow up, OS favors pembrolizumab arm with mOS 17.2 vs 11.6m (OS HR 0.71) in squamous NSCLC. 5y OS rate 18.4% vs 9.7%. PFS benefit (HR 0.62) and higher RR across PDL1 strata. #ESMO22

For patients who complete 2y of pembrolizumab, 3y OS rate (after completing 2y pembro) was 70% - though not all of those patients are cured (44% were alive without PD or subsequent therapy). #ESMO22
