Abstract

Abstract: Background: In the first preplanned interim analysis (IA) from ALTA-1L (NCT02737501; median follow-up BRG/CRZ: 11.0/9.3 mo, 99 PFS events), BRG demonstrated superior BIRC-assessed PFS and improved patient-reported quality of life vs CRZ. We report results of the second IA planned at 75% of 198 expected events. Methods: Patients (pts) with ALK inhibitor–naive advanced ALK+ NSCLC and ECOG PS 0–2 were enrolled. One prior chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC was allowed. Asymptomatic CNS metastases were allowed. Pts were stratified by baseline (BL) brain metastases and prior chemotherapy. All pts had brain MRI at each tumor assessment. Pts were randomized 1:1 to BRG 180 mg QD (with 7-day lead-in at 90 mg) or CRZ 250 mg BID. Pts in the CRZ arm were offered BRG at progression. Primary endpoint: BIRC-assessed PFS (RECIST v1.1). Secondary endpoints included confirmed ORR, confirmed iORR, iPFS by BIRC, OS, and safety. Results: 275 pts were randomized (BRG/CRZ, n = 137/138); median age 58/60 y. 26%/27% received prior chemotherapy; 29%/30% had BL brain metastases. As of 28 Jun 2019, median follow-up was BRG/CRZ: 24.9/15.2 mo, with 150 PFS events. HR of BIRC-assessed PFS was 0.49 (95% CI 0.35–0.68, log-rank P < 0.0001); BRG mPFS was 24.0 mo (95% CI 18.5–NE) vs CRZ 11.0 mo (95% CI 9.2–12.9). Investigator-assessed PFS HR was 0.43 (95% CI 0.31–0.61, median 29.4 vs 9.2 mo). OS was immature (total events: 33/37, BRG/CRZ). In pts with BL brain metastases, the PFS HR was 0.25. Data were less mature in pts without BL brain metastases treated with BRG. Table shows additional efficacy data. Most common TEAEs grade ≥3: BRG: increased CPK (24.3%) and lipase (14.0%), hypertension (11.8%); CRZ: increased ALT (10.2%), AST (6.6%), and lipase (6.6%). Any grade ILD/pneumonitis (BRG/CRZ): 5.1%/2.2%; discontinuations due to AE (BRG/CRZ): 12.5%/8.8%. Conclusions: BRG showed durable PFS superiority vs CRZ in ALK inhibitor–naive ALK+ NSCLC. Clinical trial identification: NCT02737501.
