RELAY, Erlotinib Plus Ramucirumab in Untreated, EGFR-Mutated, Metastatic NSCLC: Outcomes by EGFR Exon 19 Deletion Variants
Introduction: EGFR gene mutations are drivers of NSCLC. The RELAY double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled phase 3 study revealed superior progression-free survival (PFS) for ramucirumab plus erlotinib (RAM + ERL) versus PBO (PBO + ERL) in patients with untreated advanced NSCLC and an EGFR-activating...

| Sumario: | Introduction: EGFR gene mutations are drivers of NSCLC. The RELAY double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled phase 3 study revealed superior progression-free survival (PFS) for ramucirumab plus erlotinib (RAM + ERL) versus PBO (PBO + ERL) in patients with untreated advanced NSCLC and an EGFR-activating mutation. This exploratory analysis evaluated potential associations between EGFR exon 19 deletion (ex19del) variants and clinical outcomes. Methods: Patients (N = 449) were randomized (1:1) to RAM plus ERL or PBO plus ERL. Plasma samples were collected at baseline, on treatment, and at 30-day poststudy treatment discontinuation follow-up. Baseline and treatment-emergent gene alterations were investigated by Guardant360 next-generation sequencing. Patients with a valid baseline plasma sample and ex19del were included (RAM + ERL, n = 62; PBO + ERL, n = 72). Results: The most common ex19del variant was E746_A750del (67.2%); EGFR E746 deletions (E746del) occurred more frequently than L747 deletions (74.6% versus 25.4%, respectively). TP53 mutations were the most frequently co-occurring baseline gene alterations. With treatment arms combined, median PFS was 18.0 months versus 12.5 months for patients with uncommon (non-E746_A750del, n = 44) versus common (E746_A750del, n = 90) ex19del variants (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.657 [95% confidence interval or CI:1.044-2.630]). Median PFS was longer with RAM plus ERL versus PBO plus ERL for patients with the common (15.2 versus 9.9 mo; HR = 0.564 [95% CI: 0.344-0.926]) and E746del (15.4 versus 9.9 mo; HR = 0.587 [95% CI: 0.363- 0.951]) variants. Treatment-emergent post-progression EGFR T790M rates were higher in the common versus uncommon and E746del versus L747 deletion subgroups. Conclusions: RAM plus ERL provides benefit and improves treatment outcomes for patients with metastatic NSCLC with EGFR ex19del variants. |
