68. First-line Atezo + Carboplatin/Cisplatin + Pemetrexed in
Stage IV NSCLC (IMpower132): Background
Atezolizumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor used for treating patients with NSCLC who
progress on or following platinum chemotherapy
‒ Phase III OAK: second-line atezolizumab vs docetaxel in advanced NSCLC with
progression on platinum agents[1]
‒ Median OS significantly longer with atezolizumab (HR: 0.79)
‒ Median PFS slightly longer with atezolizumab (HR: 0.95)
‒ Exploratory OS analysis: high PD-L1 expression associated with longer survival (HR:
0.64 vs 0.82 at lower PD-L1 level)
Current analysis of IMpower132 evaluated PFS, safety of first-line
atezolizumab plus carboplatin/cisplatin and pemetrexed in patients with
stage IV nonsquamous NSCLC[2]

77. IMpower132: Conclusions
Coprimary endpoint of investigator-assessed PFS met
‒ Atezolizumab added to first-line carboplatin/cisplatin and pemetrexed
significantly improved median PFS (ITT) in patients with stage IV
nonsquamous NSCLC
‒ 7.6 vs 5.2 mos without atezolizumab (HR: 0.60; P < .0001)
‒ Benefit seen across key clinical subgroups
The atezolizumab-containing regimen showed a manageable safety
profile consistent with known toxicity profiles of the individual agents
‒ No new safety signals observed
Numerical improvement in OS observed at interim analysis; next OS
analysis in 2019

129. Summary: ALK-Driven Disease
All nonsquamous NSCLC should be tested for ALK mutations
– Pts tend to develop brain metastases
Crizotinib improves response rate and PFS over chemotherapy in first-line and
second-line settings
Second-generation ALK inhibitors ceritinib and alectinib are approved for secondary
refractory disease or intolerance to crizotinib
– Second-generation ALK inhibitors active in CNS disease
Alectinib demonstrated improved response rate and PFS over crizotinib as first-line
therapy (J-ALEX)
Many ALK-positive pts may derive benefit from multiple sequential ALK inhibitors

135. ROS1 Fusion
• Patients: Younger, never smokers, adenocarcinoma, high grade
histology
• Frequency: 1.2 -1.7% in all
• Biology: 9 variants have been identified in NSCLC so far
– Clinical significance is unknown. Mechanism of activation is
different.
– FIG-, CD74-, SCL34A2-, TPM3-, SDC4-, EZR-, LRIG3, KDELR2–,
and CCDC6–
• Testing: Visys break apart FISH (> 15% cells with split signal in 50
nuclei scored)
– ROS PCR, IHC
• Therapy: crizotinib

136. Methods of ROS1 Detection
• RT-PCR
– Cons: False negatives; 9 variants have been described in a matter of
12 months. Has to be multiplexed, i.e., probes to all known variants.
Unknown variants will not be detected.
• FISH break apart
– Cons: if inversion involves a small locus it could be false negative; can
not distinguish variants; cut of is 15% of nuclei with split signal; low
throughput
• IHC
– Cons: not commercially available, several antibodies appear promising

Crizotinib is highly active in patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC
– ORR of approximately 70%

146. Entrectinib in ROS1+ NSCLC: Background
Entrectinib: oral, potent, selective ROS1/NTRK/ALK TKI with CNS activity[1]
‒ More potent ROS1 inhibitor than crizotinib in preclinical studies
‒ Demonstrated pan-TRK inhibition in clinical trials across multiple tumor types
‒ Inhibition of MAPK-PI3K/AKT downstream pathways inhibits tumor growth and cell proliferation, spurs cell cycle arrest and
apoptosis, and inhibits TRK phosphorylation
‒ Can cross blood–brain barrier and remain within CNS
‒ Demonstrated activity in primary brain tumors, secondary CNS metastases
Current analysis pools efficacy and safety data from 3 early studies of entrectinib in ROS1+ NSCLC: STARTRK-2,
STARTRK-1, and ALKA-372-001[2]

147. Treatment of Brain Metastases: An Unmet Need in ROS1+ NSCLC
ROS1 fusions are oncogenic driver mutations occurring in 1% to 2% of patients with NSCLC[1,2]
Brain metastases are common in treatment-naive patients with stage IV ROS1+ NSCLC (36%)[3]
Current standard of care for ROS1+ NSCLC is crizotinib, although outcomes vary based on presence/absence of
CNS disease and baseline ECOG PS
─ PROFILE 1001 (N = 50)[4]: 72% ORR; median PFS 19.2 mos; median DoR 17.6 mos
─ CNS a common first site of progression in patients on crizotinib for ROS1+ NSCLC (52%)[3]
Patients with ROS1+ tumors may benefit from first-line treatment with a CNS-penetrant ROS1 inhibitor

Durable intracranial activity reported in patients with baseline CNS disease
‒ Intracranial ORR: 55%
‒ Median intracranial DoR: 12.9 mos
Entrectinib was tolerable with a manageable safety profile
‒ Most AEs were low grade and managed with dose interruption or reduction
‒ Few patients discontinued entrectinib due to treatment-related toxicity

In patients with untreated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC, addition of atezolizumab to
carboplatin/paclitaxel + bevacizumab significantly prolonged survival vs carboplatin/paclitaxel +
bevacizumab alone
‒ Median PFS: 8.3 vs 6.8 mos (HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.50-0.70; P < .0001)
‒ Median OS: 19.2 vs 14.7 mos (HR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.64-0.96; P = .0164)
Benefit associated with atezolizumab observed in patients with liver metastases or EGFR/ALK
genomic aberrations, across PD-L1 subgroups, and regardless of Teff gene signature expression
Combination of anti–PD-L1 and anti-VEGF therapies does not appear to increase the risk of irAEs
OS data for comparison of atezolizumab + CT vs bevacizumab + CT not yet mature
‒ Median OS for atezolizumab + carbo/pac vs bev + carbo/pac: 19.4 vs 14.7 mos (HR: 0.88; P = .2041)
Investigators conclude that atezolizumab + carboplatin/paclitaxel + bevacizumab is a new SoC
option for first-line management of patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC
