Genentech’s Investigational Personalized Medicine Entrectinib Shrank Tumors in People with NTRK Fusion-Positive Solid Tumors - Seite 2

These NTRK fusion-positive results will be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2018 Congress in Munich, Germany on Sunday, October 21, 2018 from 11:24–11:36 a.m. CEST (Abstract LBA17; Hall B3 – Room 22).

Genentech also recently presented positive results at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 19th World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) that showed entrectinib shrank tumors (ORR) in 77.4 percent of people with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, entrectinib demonstrated a durable response of more than two years (DoR = 24.6 months). Importantly, entrectinib was shown to shrink tumors in more than half of people with cancer in the CNS (IC ORR: 55.0 percent). The safety profile of entrectinib was consistent with that seen in previous analyses.

Genentech plans to submit results from these integrated analyses to global health authorities for the treatment of NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors and ROS1-positive NSCLC.

About the integrated analysis

The integrated analysis included data from 54 people with locally advanced or metastatic NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors (10 tumor types, >19 histopathologies) from the Phase II STARTRK-2, Phase I STARTRK-1 and Phase I ALKA-372-001 trials. The studies enrolled people across 15 countries and more than 150 clinical trial sites. Tumor types evaluated in the studies to date included breast, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal, gynecological, neuroendocrine, non-small cell lung, salivary gland, pancreatic, sarcoma and thyroid cancers.

• STARTRK-2 is a Phase II, global, multicenter, open-label basket study in people with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1 or ALK-positive gene fusion. The primary endpoint is ORR, and DoR is a secondary endpoint. Other secondary outcome measures include time to response, clinical benefit rate, intracranial tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS), CNS PFS and overall survival (OS).
• STARTRK-1 is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label dose escalation study of a daily continuous dosing schedule in people with solid tumors with NTRK1/2/3, ROS1 or ALK gene fusions in the U.S. and South Korea. The trial assessed the safety and tolerability of entrectinib via a standard dose escalation scheme and determined the recommended Phase II dose.
• ALKA-372-001 is Phase I, multicenter, open-label dose escalation study of an intermittent and continuous entrectinib dosing schedule in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with TRKA/B/C, ROS1 or ALK gene fusions in Italy.

Overall, entrectinib was well tolerated and the majority of adverse events were Grade 1-2, reversible, and managed with treatment interruption or dose reduction. Treatment-related adverse events leading to discontinuation occurred in 3.9 percent of patients. The most common treatment-related adverse events were altered sense of taste (dysgeusia), fatigue and dizziness.
