LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI), a biopharmaceutical company, presented interim results from the ongoing SUMMIT trial of neratinib in the cohort of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor (EGFR) exon 18 mutations who have been previously treated with an EGFR targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The data were presented in an oral discussion at the 2020 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC 2020) presented by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) that is currently taking place in Singapore. The presentation, entitled, Neratinib in Pretreated EGFR Exon 18-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Initial Findings from the SUMMIT Basket Trial, is being presented at an Oral Session by Valentina Boni, MD, PhD, START Madrid-CIOCC, Centro Oncologico Clara Campal, HM Sanchinarro.
The Phase II SUMMIT basket trial is an open-label, multicenter, multinational study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neratinib administered daily to patients who have solid tumors with activating EGFR exon 18 or HER2 mutations. In the EGFR exon 18 mutation cohort, patients with lung cancer with single or complex EGFR exon 18 mutations, who were EGFR TKI nave or were previously exposed to EGFR TKI, were enrolled into this study and received 240 mg of neratinib daily as a single agent.
In this cohort of 11, patients had received a median of 2 prior lines of therapy in the metastatic setting (range 1-3 prior regimens) before entering the trial. 10 patients had been previously treated with an EGFR targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (gefitinib, erlotinib, osimertinib and/or afatinib).
The interim efficacy results from the trial showed that for the 10 evaluable patients who had previously been treated with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, 6 patients (60%) experienced a partial response, which included 4 patients (40%) with a confirmed partial response. 8 patients (80%) experienced clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as confirmed complete response or partial response or stable disease for at least 16 weeks). The median duration of response was 7.5 months and the median progression-free survival was 9.1 months. The success criteria for both the 1st stage and the 2nd stage of the Simons 2-stage design were met and enrollment in the 2nd stage of this cohort continues.
The safety profile observed in the subgroup of patients with EGFR exon 18-mutated NSCLC showed that for the 11 patients who received neratinib in the trial, there were no reports of grade 3 or higher diarrhea. 4 patients (36%) reported grade 1 and 1 patient (9%) reported grade 2 diarrhea. No patients required a dose hold, dose reduction, hospitalization or permanently discontinued neratinib due to diarrhea.
Dr. Boni, an investigator of the trial, said, We are very excited about these early study results in EGFR exon 18 mutant lung cancer, for whom very few effective treatment options are available once they fail first-line FDA approved EGFR TKI therapy.
Jonathan Goldman, MD, Associate Professor of Hematology & Oncology, Associate Director of Drug Development, and Director of Clinical Trials in Thoracic Oncology at UCLA, said, These early study results open up a potentially effective option for EGFR exon 18 mutation-positive NSCLC patients once they fail first-line FDA approved TKI therapy.
Alan H. Auerbach, CEO and President of Puma Biotechnology, added, We are pleased to present this data at the World Conference on Lung Cancer and increase the awareness of neratinibs activity in this patient population within the lung cancer community. We are continuing to enroll this cohort of patients in the SUMMIT trial and we continue to believe that there is a need for new treatments for patients with EGFR exon 18-mutated NSCLC who have previously been treated with EGFR targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
About Puma Biotechnology
Puma Biotechnology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a focus on the development and commercialization of innovative products to enhance cancer care. Puma in-licenses the global development and commercialization rights to PB272 (neratinib, oral), PB272 (neratinib, intravenous) and PB357. Neratinib, oral was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer, following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy, and is marketed in the United States as NERLYNX (neratinib) tablets. In February 2020, NERLYNX was also approved by the FDA in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. NERLYNX was granted marketing authorization by the European Commission in 2018 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage hormone receptor-positive HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer and who are less than one year from completion of prior adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. NERLYNX is a registered trademark of Puma Biotechnology, Inc.
