Efficacy of amivantamab, a bi-specific antibody targeting EGFR and MET, in ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer cell lines.

BACKGROUND: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective in treating ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, at least 40% of patients develop acquired resistance during treatment. Adaptive or acquired resistance to ALK TKIs could be mediated through epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) signaling. Sixteen percent of acquired resistance cases are linked to bypass signaling. METHODS: In this study, we evaluated the effects of amivantamab, a bi-specific antibody targeting both EGFR and MET, on ALK-rearranged NSCLC cells. We investigated the effect of amivantamab on the ALK-rearranged NSCLC cell lines H3122, ABC-19, and ABC-11. RESULTS: Combining alectinib with amivantamab resulted in greater inhibition of cell growth inhibition in H3122 and ABC-19 cells compared to alectinib alone, but not in ABC-11 cells. EGFR TKI erlotinib showed similar efficacy in H3122 and ABC-19 cells, whereas MET TKI tepotinib was ineffective in both, suggesting that the efficacy of amivantamab is through EGFR inhibition. Unlike H3122 and ABC-19 cells, ABC-11 cells were resistant to EGFR/MET signaling inhibition. Interestingly, amivantamab enhanced alectinib efficacy against ABC-11 cells in the presence of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), despite showing no effect alone without PBMCs, suggesting action through non-signal inhibitory mechanisms. Finally, we treated alectinib-resistant cellswith alectinib, with or without amivantamab, and found that amivantamab restored the sensitivity of these cells to alectinib. CONCLUSION: The bi-specific antibody amivantamab, which targets EGFR and MET, enhanced the efficacy of alectinib through both signal and non-signal inhibitory mechanisms in ALK-rearranged NSCLC cells.

Intracranial and systemic progression on amivantamab in platinum-treated epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertion-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

BACKGROUND: Amivantamab, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-MET bispecific antibody, is approved as monotherapy and as combination therapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring various EGFR mutations in first-line and refractory settings. Sites of progressive disease on amivantamab monotherapy are not well understood and could be instructive for treatment management. METHODS: CHRYSALIS (NCT02609776) enrolled participants with NSCLC, including those with treated brain metastases. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was required at screening but performed per local practice after enrollment (conducted postbaseline every 6 [±1] weeks after Cycle 1 Day 1). Sites of target, non-target, and new lesion progression were reported. This analysis includes 114 participants with EGFR exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) NSCLC after disease progression on platinum-based chemotherapy who received amivantamab monotherapy on or before June 4, 2020. RESULTS: As of March 30, 2021, the median follow-up was 12.5 months (range, 0.2-30.5). Among 114 participants, the objective response rate by blinded independent central review was 43 %; median duration of response was 10.8 months, and median progression-free survival was 6.7 months. RECIST-defined progressive disease occurred in 72/114 participants (63 %); 25/72 (35 %) continued amivantamab after progression (4.2 median additional months; range, 1.0-12.5). The most common first sites of progression were the lungs/pleura (29 %), followed by bone (21 %), brain (15 %), and lymph node (12 %). Thirteen participants (11 %) had intracranial-only first progression. Six of these 13 participants underwent stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) while continuing amivantamab. The median duration of amivantamab treatment post-progression in these 6 participants was 4.0 months (range, 2.3-6.0). SRS was well tolerated, with 2 adverse events reported (nausea and fatigue, n = 1 each). CONCLUSIONS: Amivantamab monotherapy in post-platinum Ex20ins NSCLC demonstrated meaningful antitumor activity in participants, and intracranial-only progression was infrequent. Treatment of brain progression with SRS while continuing amivantamab appears feasible and tolerable.

Amivantamab in Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer After Checkpoint Inhibitor and Chemotherapy: Pivotal Results From the Phase Ib/II OrigAMI-4 Study.

Single-agent paclitaxel or cetuximab after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and chemotherapy demonstrated objective response rates (ORRs) of 21%-24% in recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head/neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and MET are overexpressed in R/M HNSCC. Amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, may be a rational treatment. Cohort 1 of OrigAMI-4 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT06385080) evaluated subcutaneous amivantamab administered every 3 weeks in participants with non-human papillomavirus R/M HNSCC after PD-(L)1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. Prior anti-EGFR therapy and p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer were exclusionary. The primary end point was RECIST v1.1 ORR. Secondary end points included duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. In 102 participants, blinded independent central review‑assessed ORR was 42% (95% CI, 32 to 52); the complete response rate was 15%. Median DoR was not reached (NR; 95% CI, 6.9 to NR); 56% of responses lasted ≥6 months. Investigator-assessed ORR was 47% (95% CI, 37 to 57). At a median follow-up of 11.8 months (range, 1.1-21.9), median PFS and OS were 6.8 months (95% CI, 5.2 to 8.3) and 12.5 months (95% CI, 10.2 to 16.8), respectively. Adverse events were consistent with previous experience with no new safety signals. Treatment-related discontinuations were low (8%). Amivantamab demonstrated greater antitumor activity in participants previously exposed to ICI and chemotherapy than has been reported for paclitaxel or cetuximab.

Real-world frontline treatments in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer harboring epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertions and adjusted comparisons versus amivantamab plus chemotherapy from the PAPILLON study.

INTRODUCTION: In PAPILLON, frontline amivantamab + carboplatin + pemetrexed (ACP) demonstrated superior efficacy over carboplatin + pemetrexed in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) harboring mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertions (exon20ins). Real-world (RW) treatment patterns and comparative effectiveness of ACP versus RW treatments are unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study (NECTAR) retrospectively analyzed frontline treatments prescribed 2012-2023 for patients with aNSCLC and confirmed EGFR exon20ins from English (ENG-NCRD), French (FR-ESME), and US (US-COTA and US-ConcertAI) datasets. Overall survival (OS), time to next treatment (TTNT), and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed in RW pooled and individual treatment classes and in indirect treatment comparisons (ITC) between ACP from PAPILLON and RW treatments using Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for prognostic factors. RESULTS: NECTAR assessed 208 RW patients: ENG-NCRD, n = 23; FR-ESME, n = 91; US-COTA, n = 39, and US-ConcertAI, n = 55. Common frontline treatment classes were platinum-based chemotherapy (33.7 %), platinum + immunotherapy (23.1 %), EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) alone (15.4 %), platinum + VEGF inhibitors (VEGFi) (11.1 %), and immunotherapy alone (7.7 %). Compared with platinum-based chemotherapy, none of the evaluated treatment classes demonstrated improved OS, TTNT, and PFS. Exceptions were platinum + VEGFi in TTNT and PFS and platinum + immunotherapy in TTNT. In ITCs, ACP significantly improved OS over pooled RW treatments (HR = 0.48 [95 % CI, 0.32-0.71]; P < 0.001), platinum-based chemotherapy (HR = 0.48 [0.30-0.77]; P = 0.003), platinum + immunotherapy (HR = 0.41 [0.23-0.73]; P = 0.003), and EGFR TKI alone (HR = 0.48 [0.23-1.02]; P = 0.055). TTNT and PFS results were similar to OS. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with EGFR exon20ins aNSCLC, frontline ACP was superior to common RW treatments, highlighting the need for practice change.

Assessing time to symptomatic progression, a patient-relevant efficacy endpoint, in the MARIPOSA study in non-small cell lung cancer.

INTRODUCTION: In the phase 3 randomized MARIPOSA study, amivantamab and lazertinib combination therapy demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) versus osimertinib in participants with previously untreated, epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) was introduced to assess clinical worsening and complement endpoints that investigate radiographic disease progression and patient-reported outcomes. TTSP provides an easily interpretable measure of disease-specific symptom worsening to further support patient experience. METHODS: In MARIPOSA, TTSP was quantitatively assessed as a secondary efficacy endpoint and defined as the time from randomization until participants experience disease-specific symptom worsening requiring a clinical intervention or treatment change, or death. To evaluate the impact of amivantamab and lazertinib on TTSP considering its established OS benefit against osimertinib, an exploratory analysis censoring death events was performed. RESULTS: At the final protocol-specified OS analysis (median follow up: 37.8 months), median TTSP was 43.6 months with amivantamab and lazertinib versus 29.3 months with osimertinib (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.57-0.83; p < 0.0001). Amivantamab and lazertinib reduced deaths following a TTSP event compared to osimertinib. A strong correlation between TTSP and PFS or OS was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Amivantamab and lazertinib significantly delayed TTSP versus osimertinib. TTSP offers a clinician-validated measurement of disease-specific symptom worsening, capturing symptoms perceived by patients that prompt clinical action. TTSP is highly correlated with PFS and OS, providing complementary insights alongside traditional endpoints. TTSP enhances understanding of treatment benefit and supports informed clinical decision-making by integrating patient experience.

Novel strategies for rare oncogenic drivers in non-small-cell lung cancer: An update from the 2024 Annual ESMO meeting.

Across the landscape of oncogene-addicted non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), various tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been introduced in the last twenty years. During the 2024 Annual ESMO meeting new therapeutic options were presented for EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, ALK fusion and ROS1 fusion positive advanced stage NSCLC. For EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation positive NSCLC, results from REZILIENT-1, a single arm phase II study with zipalertinib, were presented, showing an objective response rate (ORR) of 50% in patients that were pretreated with amivantamab, and 25% in patients pretreated with amivantamab and an EGFR exon 20 insertion-directed TKI. The vast majority of these patients also received platinum-doublet chemotherapy. For ALK, results from ALKOVE-1, a single arm phase I/II study with NVL-655, a next generation ALK TKI, were presented. The ORR was 35 % in patients pretreated with ≥ 2 ALK TKIs including lorlatinib and 57 % in patients pretreated with ≥ 1 ALK TKI, excluding lorlatinib. The median number of prior anticancer therapies was 3. Intracranial responses were seen in lorlatinib naïve- and lorlatinib pretreated patients and toxicity was manageable. In addition, results of the first-line randomized phase III INSPIRE study were presented, in which iruplinalkib, an ALK and ROS1 selective TKI, is being evaluated versus crizotinib. Iruplinalkib showed a superior median PFS (36.8 versus 14.55 months for crizotinib), but no difference in 36-month overall survival (OS) rate. Finally, results from ARROS-1, a single arm phase I/II study with zidesamtinib, a ROS1 selective and TRK-sparing TKI, were presented. An ORR of 73% was obtained in patients that were pretreated with crizotinib and an ORR of 38% in patients pretreated with repotrectinib. In this review, we will discuss the relevant study results presented at ESMO 2024 for these three genomic drivers and hypothesize on their respective place in the sequence of treatment options.
