JOHNSON & JOHNSON CHRYSALIS-2 (NCT04077463) is an ongoing clinical trial evaluating RYBREVANT in combination with lazertinib in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletion mutations or L858R activating mutations.[2] One cohort of CHRYSALIS-2 evaluates the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib with carboplatin and pemetrexed.[1] Results from the RYBREVANT, lazertinib, carboplatin and pemetrexed combination cohort (n=20) will be featured in a mini oral presentation (Abstract #MA07.04) at the IASLC 2022 WCLC.[1] Enrolled participants received a median of two prior lines of therapy.[1] Prior therapies included osimertinib (n=14), gefitinib (n=3), afatinib (n=3), and platinum-based chemotherapy (n=5), among others.[1]
After a median follow-up of 7.1 months, the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib with carboplatin and pemetrexed yielded an overall response rate (ORR) of 50 percent (95 percent confidence interval [CI];27-73), with 15 out of 20 patients remaining on treatment.[1] The observed safety profile of this treatment combination was consistent with the previously reported safety profile of each individual agent; no evidence of new safety signals or additional toxicity was observed.[1] The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) included neutropenia (85 percent), rash (75 percent), infusion-related reaction and stomatitis (60 percent), fatigue and paronychia (50 percent each), and thrombocytopenia and nausea (40 percent each).[1]
'Patients with relapsed/refractory non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations currently have few treatment options. For them, the promise of precision medicine has the potential to change the trajectory of their disease,' said
Janssen is currently recruiting patients for the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 (NCT04988295) study to evaluate the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC after disease progression on or after osimertinib.[3]
Separately, updated data from the frontline, treatment-naive cohort of the Phase 1 CHRYSALIS study (NCT02609776) will be featured in a poster presentation (Abstract #P1.16-01).[4] CHRYSALIS is an ongoing study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of RYBREVANT as a monotherapy and in combination, including with lazertinib, in patients with advanced NSCLC with various EGFR mutations.[5] Patients enrolled in the treatment-naive cohort had NSCLC characterized by either an EGFR exon 19 deletion (n=11) or L858R mutation (n=9), with 50 percent having co-mutations in the TP53 gene.[4] All 20 patients had confirmed response (ORR of 100%). After a median follow-up of 22.3 months, 14 patients (70 percent) were progression free and remained on therapy with median duration of response and median progression-free survival not reached.[4] Two patients with L858R mutations remained on treatment after their disease progressed.[4] Based upon the last data cutoff on
The safety profile of the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib was consistent with previous reports, and no new safety signals were identified.[4] Treatment-related AEs of Grade ?3 severity occurred in seven patients (35 percent).[4] Treatment-related AEs leading to dose reduction of either RYBREVANT or lazertinib occurred in seven patients, most commonly due to rash (n=5).[4] One patient had a treatment-related AE of interstitial lung disease which led to treatment discontinuation.[4] Janssen is evaluating the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib in the frontline setting for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC in the ongoing Phase 3 MARIPOSA study (NCT04487080).[6]
'Janssen's presence at this year's
Janssen will also share data that highlight the utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing in identifying patients with NSCLC who may benefit from targeted treatment in a mini oral presentation (Abstract #MA12.05).[7] Results showed that compared with single-gene testing strategies, NGS testing resulted in a higher percentage of identified mutations, a shorter time to appropriate targeted therapy and lower total testing costs per patient.[7]
About RYBREVANT
RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw) received accelerated approval by the
The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer* prefer NGS-based strategies over PCR-based approaches for the detection of EGFR exon 20 insertion variants and include amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT) as a subsequent therapy option with a Category 2A recommendation for patients that have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy and have EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation-positive advanced NSCLC.[9](+)^
RYBREVANT is being studied in multiple clinical trials, including for untreated advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC in the Phase 3 MARIPOSA (NCT04487080NCT04487080) study assessing RYBREVANT in combination with lazertinib as an alternative to osimertinib for frontline treatment; the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 (NCT04988295) study to evaluate the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC after disease progression on or after osimertinib; the Phase 1/1b CHRYSALIS-2 (NCT04077463) study assessing the combination of RYBREVANT and lazertinib in patients who have progressed after treatment with osimertinib and chemotherapy; the Phase 3 PAPILLON (NCT04538664) study assessing RYBREVANT in combination with carboplatin-pemetrexed versus chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC and exon 20 insertion mutations; and the Phase 1 PALOMA (NCT04606381) study assessing the feasibility of subcutaneous (SC) administration of RYBREVANT based on safety and pharmacokinetics and to determine a dose, dose regimen and formulation for RYBREVANT SC delivery.[2],[3],[5],[6],[10],[11]

About Lazertinib
Lazertinib is an oral, third-generation, brain-penetrant, EGFR TKI that targets both the T790M mutation and activating EGFR mutations while sparing wild type-EGFR.[12] Interim safety and efficacy results from the lazertinib Phase 1/2 study were published in The Lancet Oncology in 2019. In 2018,
About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Worldwide, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, and NSCLC makes up 80 to 85 percent of all lung cancers.[13],[14] The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma.[15] Among the most common driver mutations in NSCLC are alterations in EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase supporting cell growth and division.16 EGFR mutations are present in 10 to 15 percent[15],[16][17],[18],[19] of people with NSCLC adenocarcinoma and occur in 40 to 50 percent of Asians.[20],[21] The five-year survival rate for all people with metastatic NSCLC and EGFR mutations treated with EGFR TKIs is less than 20 percent.[22],[23]
RYBREVANT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION8
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
