Introduction: EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are more effective than chemotherapy in patients with EGFRmutant NSCLC. Disease progression on EGFR TKI therapy occurs most often owing to acquired resistance from the gain of an EGFR T790M mutation. Osimertinib, a thirdgeneration EGFR TKI, significantly improves outcomes in patients with EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC compared with platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy. We retrospectively reviewed clinical outcomes for patients receiving osimertinib through a compassionate access program in New Zealand. Methods: Patients with a biopsy-proven or plasmacirculating tumor-DNA-proven EGFR T790M mutation received osimertinib. Data on patient and tumor characteristics, treatments, and outcomes were collected retrospectively. Survival outcomes were calculated from the time of osimertinib commencement. Results: A total of 39 patients were enrolled, and data from 37 patients were analyzed. EGFR T790M status was found from plasma samples in six of 37 (16%) patients. A total of 27 of 37 patients (73%) used osimertinib as a second-line treatment. At the time of data analysis, median follow-up was 18.8 months (range 1.5-29). Overall response rate was 70% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 53-84) (26 of 37). Progression-free survival (PFS) at 12 months was 62% (95% CI: 44.8-77.5), and median PFS was 14.6 months (95% CI: 12.4-16.8). Median overall survival was not reached. Osimertinib was well tolerated, with grade 1 gastrointestinal and skin toxicity as the most common adverse effects. Three patients required dose adjustments or cessation owing to toxicity. Conclusion: Osimertinib is an effective treatment for New Zealanders with EGFR T790M mutated NSCLC who have progressed after first or subsequent lines of therapy.
6091 Background: Up to 50% of gynecological cancers are considered rare. The outcome of these patients (pts) is poor given a lack of scientific and clinical knowledge. Immunotherapy using single agent anti- PD-1/PD-L1 treatment (tx) has shown only modest activity in patients with common gynecological malignancies, such as high grade serous ovarian cancer (ca) and microsatellite stable endometrial ca. Combined CTLA-4/PD-1 blockade using ipilimumab (ipi) and nivolumab (nivo) has demonstrated superior efficacy compared to single agent anti-PD-1 therapy in pts with advanced melanoma and renal cell ca. To date, no trials have been undertaken with ipi/nivo in patients with rare gynecological malignancies. Methods: 41 pts with advanced rare gynecological malignancies were enrolled into the CA209-538 trial. Pts received nivo 3mg/kg and ipi 1mg/kg q 3 weekly for four doses, followed by nivo 3mg/kg q 2 weekly. Tx continued for up to 96 weeks, or until disease progression or the development of unacceptable toxicity. Response (RECIST 1.1) was assessed every 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was clinical benefit rate (CBR = CR +PR + SD). Exploratory endpoints include correlation of efficacy with biomarkers (incl PD-L1/TMB). Results: Pts with 10 rare tumor types were enrolled (Table). 39/41 pts have received prior therapy (1-7 lines). Objective responses were observed in 11 pts (27%) including pts with vaginal SCC, ovarian clear cell and low grade serous ca, ovarian and uterine carcinosarcoma, uterine clear cell, uterine serous ca and leiomyosarcoma. A further 9 pts had SD as their best radiological response resulting in a CBR of 49%. The median duration of response had not been reached (range 3.5 – 25+ months) with seven responses being ongoing. 63% of pts experienced an immune related adverse event (irAEs) with 4 pts developing Grade 3/4 irAEs. Conclusions: Ipi/Nivo tx demonstrates efficacy in a range of different rare gynecological cancers with a significant number of durable responses being observed. Tumor agnostic biomarkers are required to assist with better patient selection. Clinical trial information: NCT02923934. [Table: see text]
