Using Non-targeted Therapies in Targeted Lung Cancer Populations Nathan Pennell, M.D., Ph.D. September 6, 2014
2
Objectives Discuss the role of chemotherapy in molecularly defined populations Discuss the addition of chemo and/or bevacizumab (Avastin) to targeted therapy Do immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD- 1/PDL-1) have a role in treatment of molecularly defined populations? 2
3
Why would anyone use chemotherapy in an EGFR mutant or ALK+ lung cancer patient? 3

What are the options? Third generation TKI? Clinical trial, i.e. HSP90? How about chemotherapy? 8

Pooled analysis of clinical outcome for EGFR TKI‐treated patients with EGFR mutation‐positive NSCLC Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine 6 AUG 2014 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.12278 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jcmm.12278/full#jcmm12278-fig-0002 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jcmm.12278/full#jcmm12278-fig-0002
24
Conclusion: Chemo is effective in EGFR mutant and ALK+ NSCLC Chemotherapy is effective and should be considered in patients when TKIs fail 24 JJ (CHOP calendar) http://mbvshl.blogspot.com/2013/02/round-9-looking-good-billy-ray-feeling.html
25
Can we improve on the effectiveness of TKIs up front by adding non-targeted agents? Chemotherapy? Bevacizumab? (anti-VEGF) 25
26
EGFR TKIs + Chemotherapy = Not better than chemo alone? 4 large phase 3 trials with gefitinib (INTACT 1/2) and erlotinib (TRIBUTE/TALENT) All showed no evidence that chemo + TKI was better in unselected NSCLC patients But what about EGFR mutation+ patients? 26
27
FASTACT 2: Chemotherapy plus erlotinib versus chemotherapy 27 Wu et al., Lancet Oncol 2013; 14: 777–86 Median PFS 16.8 v 6.9 months
28
Chemotherapy plus TKI in EGFR mutation+ pts Promising signs but need randomized trial of chemo plus TKI versus TKI alone Chinese study ongoing of carboplatin + pemetrexed (CP), CP + gefitinib, and gefitinib (NCT02148380) 28
29
Does adding bevacizumab to TKIs improve efficacy? BeTa phase 3 trial of erlotinib +/- bev Not significant but promising trend towards better survival 29 Herbst et al., Lancet 2011 May 28;377(9780):1846-54

34
Conclusions: Adding to TKIs Chemotherapy plus EGFR TKI results in a promising PFS compared to chemo Bev plus erlotinib also results in a promising PFS compared to TKI alone Adding chemo or bev to the TKI adds a non- trivial amount of side effects and risk (and cost) Evidence for improved survival needed before it becomes SOC compared to TKI alone 34
35
Immunotherapy: i.e. Checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1 and PDL-1)? 35
36
Checkpoint Inhibitors in Development in NSCLC Response rates consistently ~20%
37
Duration of Response and Overall Survival with Nivolumab in Pretreated Advanced NSCLC Presented By Scott Gettinger at 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting
38
Checkpoint Inhibitors in EGFR mutant population? In mouse models of EGFR mutant NSCLC PDL-1 was high and anti-PD1 was quite effective 1 In a cohort of 56 EGFR mutant NSCLCs, 71% were PDL-1 positive (compared to about 50% in unselected NSCLC) 2 38 Akbay et al., Can Disc 2013, 3, 1355; D’Incecco et al., ELCC 2914 PDL-1
39
Checkpoint Inhibitors in EGFR mutant population? In a small phase 2 trial, 20 pts with EGFR mutant NSCLC with AR were treated with nivolumab + erlotinib with ORR of 15% 2 39 Rizvi et al., ASCO Proc 2014, Abst,
40
Conclusions: Immunotherapy Too early to say whether checkpoint inhibitors will play a more significant role in EGFR mutant and ALK+ NSCLC treatment, BUT No reason to think they won’t be at least as effective as in unselected patients! 40
41
Take Home Points While TKIs are the most effective treatment for genetically defined NSCLC pts, chemotherapy can be an effective alternative Adding chemotherapy or bevacizumab to TKIs may make TKIs more effective, but the jury is still out Immunotherapy is enormously promising in all types of lung cancer! 41
