Safety and clinical activity of atezolizumab plus erlotinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND: Acquired resistance limits long-term epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) efficacy in patients with EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in whom anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) efficacy is also limited. We hypothesized that c...

| Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Acquired resistance limits long-term epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) efficacy in patients with EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in whom anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) efficacy is also limited. We hypothesized that combining atezolizumab with erlotinib could enhance antitumor immunity and extend efficacy in these patients.; PATIENTS AND METHODS: This open-label phase Ib trial was conducted in adults aged =18 years who had advanced, unresectable NSCLC. Stage 1 (safety evaluation) enrolled EGFR TKI-naive patients regardless of EGFR status. Stage 2 (expansion) enrolled patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with =1 prior non-EGFR TKI therapy. Patients received 150 mg erlotinib orally once daily. After a 7-day erlotinib run-in, atezolizumab 1200 mg was administered intravenously every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was the safety and tolerability of the combination in all patients; secondary endpoints included antitumor activity per RECIST 1.1 in stage 2 patients.; RESULTS: At the data cut-off on 7 May 2020, 28 patients (8 in stage 1, 20 in stage 2) were assessable for safety. No dose-limiting toxicities or grade 4 or 5 treatment-related adverse events occurred. Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 46% of patients; the most common were increased alanine aminotransferase, diarrhea, pyrexia, and rash (each in 7% of patients). Serious adverse events occurred in 50% of patients. Pneumonitis (grade 1) was reported in a single patient (4%). The objective response rate was 75% [95% confidence interval (CI) 50.9% to 91.3%]), median response duration was 18.9 months (95% CI 9.5-40.5 months), median progression-free survival was 15.4 months (95% CI 8.4-39.0 months), and median overall survival was not estimable (NE) (95% CI 34.6-NE).; CONCLUSIONS: Atezolizumab combined with erlotinib demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and encouraging, durable clinical activity in patients with advanced EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.
