Acquired Resistance Patient Forum September 6, 2014 | Boston In ALK, ROS1 & EGFR Lung Cancers Life After Erlotinib: What Next? Jared Weiss Vice President, Cancergrace Assistant Professor of Medicine, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center
Yesterday’s victory is today’s challenge EGFR mutation positive Gefitinib C/P Probability of progression-free survival Patients at risk : Months Gefitinib (n=132) Carboplatin/paclitaxel (n=129) 2009 Perspective: 10 months PFS without chemo! 2014 Perspective: Only 10 months? Now what?
Crizotinib for ALK: Like erlotinib for EGFR, better than chemo, but again, now what should be done? Mok, ASCO 2014
Option 1: Learn from the politicians
When this is a good idea West, ASCO 2013 Time Amount of Cancer
Now it’s time for a new idea West, ASCO 2013 Amount of Cancer Time
45 Baseline: Start TKI3m: Response14m: RECIST PD 30m18m24m Oxnard, ASCO 2012 and Santa Monica Lung m37m: Stop TKI39m: First dyspnea
EGFR TKI beyond RECIST 42 pts with EGFR-mutant lung cancer receiving 1 st -line erlotinib on 3 clinical trials 45% of pts could delay change of therapy >3 months after RECIST progression 21% delayed treatment change >12 months S R R R R R R R R S S S Oxnard et al, ASCO, 2012 and Santa Monica Lung 2014

Option 2: Weeding the garden
When weeding is a good idea Oligo-PD PD-Subtype CNS-PD (Sanctuary) Slightly adapted from Gandara, CLC 2013 Systemic-PD
Why radiation can be a good way to weed 1.Das, AACR Das, AACR Mak, The Oncologist, 2011 In vitroIn vivo
It has been tried: MSKCC experience, all EGFR (n=18) Yu, JTO 2013
U Colorado Experience: Mixed EGFR (n=27) and ALK (n=38) Weickhardt, JTO 2012
Ongoing Trial: LCCC1123: Prospective Phase II Inclusion: *EGFR mutant *Progression on TKI *PS 0-1 *No prior XRT to sites of PD *<5 sites of PD *All sites of PD amenable to SRS or other local treatment SRS or Surgery based on priority system to defined limit: 1) Sites of PD on TKI 2) Areas of residual FDG avidity on TKI Site-specific rules for local ablation Re-initiation of erlotinib until progression Primary endpoint: PFS after SRS Secondary endpoints: LCR of ablated lesions, mOS from initiation of SRS, QOL as measured by FACT-L, attributable toxicity, serum-based biocorrelates (Veristrast) PI: Jared Weiss Collaborators: Cleveland Clinic UPMC U.

Case studies describe the same phenomenon with ALK Pop JTO 2012 Disease well controlled Flare 15 days After stopping crizotinib
Third option: Keep the TKI going with the new chemo Goldberg et al, Oncologist, 2013 Chemo aloneChemo + erlotinib 18% RR 41% RR
But, no advantage for PFS or OS Acquired Resistance Patient Forum | Sept. 6, 2014 | Boston 19 Platinum-based combination chemotherapy One drug chemotherapy Goldberg, Oncologist 2013
And, there is a toxicity cost Acquired Resistance Patient Forum | Sept. 6, 2014 | Boston 20 Herbst, JCO 2005 (TRIBUTE data)
Chemotherapy +/- Ongoing EGFR TKI for Acquired Resistance: IMPRESS Trial Primary endpoint: progression-free survival Activating EGFR mutation Progression on gefitinib No prior chemotherapy N = 250 RANDRAND Cisplatin/Pemetrexed IMPRESS TRIAL PI: Tony Mok & Jean-Charles Soria Cisplatin/Pemetrexed + ongoing gefitinib
Chemotherapy +/- Ongoing EGFR TKI for Acquired Resistance: Vanderbilt Trial Carboplatin / pemetrexed PD Caboplatin / pemetrexed with erlotinib EGFR-mutant lung cancer with acquired resistance to erlotinib R PI: Leora Horn, VICC
When chemo used, it’s worth coming back to TKI later Acquired Resistance Patient Forum | Sept. 6, 2014 | Boston 23 Hata, ASCO 2012 Heon, ASCO 2012
Systemic options other than chemo: Combination trials and 3 rd generation TKIs 3 rd generation TKIs: CO1686, AZD9291, HM61713, EGFR816, ASP8273: Look promising, but most requires repeat biopsy (more on this in next talk from Dr. Sequist). More on 3 rd gen TKI from Dr. Pasi Janne in afternoon breakout session Combination trials: Afatinib/cetuximab farthest along; AUY922/erlotinib, MET inhibitor/EGFR TKI, others. More on combo trials from Dr. Melissa Johnson at afternoon breakout session) Other trials: Any active agent can be considered including immunotherapy.

Options, summarized Kick the can down the road Local ablation of spots that are growing then restart TKI Chemo + TKI Chemo alone (but, must start quickly after stopping TKI and reconsider TKI later) Combination Therapies 3 rd Generation TKIs Other clinical trials
