Abstract CT179: Telisotuzumab vedotin (teliso-v) monotherapy in patients with previously treated c-Met+advanced non-small cell lung cancer

Background: Teliso-V is an anti-c-Met antibody conjugated with a tubulin inhibitor MMAE. The aim of this phase 2 trial (NCT03539536) is to explore safety and efficacy of teliso-V in cohorts (based on histopathology and EGFR mutation) and subgroups (based on c-Met expression) of patients with c-Met+ advanced NSCLC (stage 1), followed by expansion into an appropriately selected population for further evaluation of safety and efficacy (stage 2).Methods: Patients had ECOG ≤ 1 with 1-2 prior lines of therapy including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. c-Met status was determined centrally by IHC (SP44 antibody). Membrane staining ≥ 25% 3+ or ≥ 75% 1+ was considered positive for non-squamous and squamous, respectively. Teliso-V dose was 1.9 mg/kg Q2W. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per central review in patients with ≥ 12 weeks follow-up. Secondary endpoints were duration of response, disease control rate, PFS and OS.Results: ORR was 35.1% in the non-squamous EGFR WT cohort (53.8% in c-Met high group and 25.0% in c-Met intermediate group; Table), but was modest in the squamous and EGFR Mu cohorts. G3 or higher AEs occurred in 50/113 (44%) patients, with most common (≥ 2%) being malignant neoplasm progression (6.2%), pneumonia (5.3%), hyponatremia (4.4%), anemia (2.7%), dyspnea (2.7%), fatigue (2.7%), increased GGT (2.7%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (2.7%), and pneumonitis (2.7%). G5 AEs investigators considered possibly related to teliso-V were sudden death, dyspnea, and pneumonitis (1 event each). Conclusions: ORR in non-squamous EGFR WT NSCLC was encouraging with a tolerable safety profile, and this cohort met prespecified criteria to transition to stage 2. In this cohort, ORR was highest in the c-Met high group, though also clinically meaningful in the intermediate group. Enrollment into the squamous cohort was stopped. Enrollment into the EGFR MU cohort will continue until the next interim analysis. Citation Format: D.
