Background: Dacomitinib (D) is an irreversible pan-HER inhibitor with evidence of activity in previously treated NSCLC patients (pts). Methods: BR26, a phase III randomized double blind placebo (P) controlled trial of D (45mg daily oral) vs P in NSCLC pts after one to three lines of chemotherapy and an EGFR TKI, randomized pts 2:1 to D or P. Response was assessed at 4, 8 then every 8 weeks during treatment. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included OS in pts with KRAS wild type (WT) NSCLC, progression free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), toxicity, quality of life, biomarker analyses and resource utilization. Results: 720 pts were randomized: median age 64 yrs (range 32-90), male 51%, PS 0/1 75%, adenocarcinoma 73%, never smokers 36%. D did not improve OS compared with P (median OS 6.8m v 6.3m, HR 1.0, 95%CI 0.83-1.21, p=0.99). There was significant improvement in PFS favoring D (median PFS 2.7m v 1.4m, HR 0.66, 95%CI 0.55 – 0.79, p<0.0001). The RR was 7% v 1%, p=0.001. EGFR /KRAS status were known in 531/418 pts, respectively. The effect of D on OS was similar in pts with EGFR WT and EGFR mutation positive NSCLC (HR 0.93 vs 0.98, interaction p=0.69). The effect of D on OS appeared to differ by KRAS status: improving OS in pts with KRAS WT tumors (7.0m v 5.2m, HR 0.79, 95%CI 0.61 – 1.03), but worsening OS in pts with KRAS mutation positive NSCLC (5.8m v 8.3m, HR 2.1, 95%CI 1.05 – 4.22, interaction p=0.08). Pts on D had significantly longer time to deterioration of cough (p<0.0001), dyspnea (p=0.049) and pain (p=0.041). Pts treated with D vs. P [%] experienced more diarrhea (80 vs. 20), acneiform rash (60 vs. 10), oral mucositis (43 vs. 3), paronychia (30 vs. 0), dry skin (36 vs. 11), nausea/vomiting (36/28 vs. 25/16). Systemic therapy use after PD was 37% in pts. on D vs. 41% on P. Conclusions: D has activity in heavily pretreated pts with NSCLC. Although there was no improvement in OS, BR26 demonstrated a significant improvement in RR, PFS and time to symptom deterioration, and a trend to improved OS in pts with KRAS WT NSCLC. Further evaluation of D in biomarker defined subgroups appears warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01000025.
