Background: The phase 2 SUMMIT basket trial (NCT01953926) demonstrated efficacy of neratinib in patients with EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC [Boni et al. WCLC 2020]. Neratinib also has documented activity in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer with CNS metastases [Saura et al. SABCS 2020 & J Clin Oncol 2020]. Here we report neratinib efficacy in a subgroup of patients with EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC and CNS involvement from SUMMIT. Methods: Patients with EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC were treated with single-agent neratinib (240 mg po daily). Prior EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), chemotherapy, and checkpoint inhibitors (IO) were allowed. Patients with stable, asymptomatic CNS metastasis were enrolled. Study endpoints: objective response rate (ORR) at week 8 (±1 week); ORR (RECIST 1.1 confirmed); duration of response (DOR); clinical benefit rate (CBR); progression-free survival (PFS); safety; biomarkers. Results: Baseline characteristics of 11 patients with EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC: median age 67 (range 56–83) years; ECOG PS 0/1 (45%/55%). Prior lines of therapies: 2 (range 1–3): EGFR TKIs (91%); chemotherapy (55%); IO (27%). 3/11 patients had baseline CNS metastasis and received radiation 8–22 months prior to study enrollment. Best CNS response in these 3 patients was stable disease with overall individual PFS of 1.9 (censored), 6.9 and 9.1 months and OS of 2.6 (censored), 17.7 (censored), and 17.9 months. Efficacy is summarized in Table. Efficacy summary: TKI-pretreated EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC cohort receiving neratinib monotherapy. Conclusions: Activity of single-agent neratinib was observed in prior TKI-exposed patients with EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC. Despite the small sample size of only 3 patients with baseline CNS metastases, findings suggest a potential role for neratinib as a systemic treatment option for patients with NSCLC and difficult-to-treat uncommon mutations with CNS involvement. The SUMMIT trial continues to enroll patients with EGFR exon 18-mutant NSCLC. Clinical trial information: NCT01953926

Data cut: Aug 2020. a10/11 patients had prior EGFR TKIs. bORR = CR/PR (confirmed ≥4 weeks after criteria for response initially met). cKM analysis in safety population. dCBR = confirmed CR/PR + SD for ≥16 weeks ±7 day. ORR at week 8 (ORRfirst) and ORR (RECIST 1.1 confirmed) are identical and only presented once. *Response ongoing; #Censored.
