• E.g.:
• T790M gatekeeper, overcome by Afatinib, Osimertinib
Osimertinib – mutation specific or first line
therapy?
• Inhibits mutated EGFR (dLREA or L858R) with or without T790M by
covalently binding to C797
• Improve OS
• No significance of PDL1
• As biomarker
Pembro Keynote trials phase 1/2/3 trials for
NSCLC
• Keynote001 phase 1
• Pembrolizumab and PDL1 – benefit only in more than 50%
expression
• Keynote 010 phse 2/3
• DOC vs pembro when PS>1%
• OS 8.5 vs 10.4m but 14m when strong responders PS more than 50%
• Keynote 024 phse 3 Previously untreated NSCLC
(virgin)first line treatment PS>50%
• Chemo vs Pembro
• Improved OS,
• Recommendation: first line treatment for advanced NSCLC without
EGFR or ALK but strong PDL-1
• Pembro better than chemo
• Keynote 021
• Pembro + chemo as first line option for non squamous regardless of
PS%
• Keynote I89 Ghandi et al, NEJM 2018
• Chemo + Pembro superior to chemo alone
• ORR 19% vs 48%
• PFS 8.8mo vs 4.9mo
• OS@1 y 49% vs 69%
Keynote I89 Ghandi et al, NEJM 2018
• Chemo + Pembro superior to chemo alone
• ORR 19% vs 48%
• PFS 8.8mo vs 4.9mo
• OS@1 y 49% vs 69%
Atezolizumab OAK trial, POPLAR trial
OAK TRIAL phase 3 longer OS for previously
treated NSCLC regardless of PDL1 but better POPLAR TRIAL cmplared DOC and
response in PDL1 expressors Atezolizumab in previously treated NSCLC
• Better OS with atezolizumab
with higher PDL1 expression
• Increased ORR in PDL1
expression
PACIFIC trial – resectable stage IIIA dz
• Phase III RCT unresectable NSCLC stage III who have not progressed
following definitive platinum based concurrent chemoradiation
therapy n713
• Durvalumab monotherapy vs placebo after chemoradiotherapy in
unresectable dz
• Superior PFS and OS
• HR 30% improvement with immunotherapy in contrast with trimodality where PFS is ony
improved by 14%
