Background Entrectinib is a central nervous system (CNS) active, potent, and selective inhibitor of ROS1, TRKA/B/C and ALK. Entrectinib is more potent against ROS1 than crizotinib, the only agent currently approved for treatment of ROS1 -positive NSCLC. Interim data demonstrated that entrectinib was tolerable and achieved high objective response rates (ORR) in patients with ROS1 -positive, ROS1 inhibitor-naive NSCLC, including patients with baseline CNS disease.
Methods Phase 1/2 studies of entrectinib (ALKA, STARTRK-1, STARTRK-2; EudraCT 2012 – 000 148 – 88; NCT02097810; NCT02568267) enrolled patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The safety-evaluable population included patients who received ≥ 1 dose of entrectinib. The integrated efficacy analysis included ROS1-positive NSCLC patients. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events (AEs), laboratory tests, and physical examination. Performed tumor scans were submitted for BICR using RECISTv1.1. Primary endpoints were ORR and DOR by BICR. Key secondary objectives were PFS, OS and safety. Additional endpoints were intracranial ORR, intracranial DOR, and PFS in patients with baseline CNS disease.
Results There were 53 efficacy-evaluable patients with treatment-naïve, ROS1-positive NSCLC. BICR ORR was 77.4% (95% CI 63.8 – 87.7) with complete responses in three patients (5.7%); median BICR DOR was 24.6 months (95% CI 11.4 – 34.8). Per baseline CNS status (as determined by investigator), median BICR PFS was 26.3 months (95% CI 15.7 – 36.6) and 13.6 months (95% CI 4.5–NR) for patients without (n = 30) and with CNS disease (n = 23), respectively. Intracranial ORR was 55.0% (95% CI 31.5 – 76.9) and median intracranial DOR was 12.9 months (95% CI 5.6–not reached [NR]) in patients with baseline CNS disease (n = 20). In the overall safety-evaluable population (n = 355), most treatment-related AEs were grade 1 – 2. 27.3% of patients required dose reduction, few discontinued treatment (3.9%) due to treatment-related AEs.
Conclusion Entrectinib was tolerable with a manageable safety profile and showed clinically meaningful, deep and durable systemic responses in ROS1 -positive NSCLC. Clinically meaningful intracranial activity was also demonstrated in patients with baseline CNS disease.
