Abstract
Background: Larotrectinib, a selective TRKi, is now FDA approved for pediatric and adult TRK-fusion solid tumors, regardless of tumor origin. Emergent TRK kinase mutations are a common mechanism of resistance to TRKis. LOXO-195, a selective TRKi, was developed to maintain potency against multiple TRK kinase domain mutations.
Methods: Patients (pts) received LOXO-195 via a Phase I study (NCT03215511, n=20) or FDA expanded access single patient protocol (SPP, n=11). Eligible pts were ≥4-weeks old with a locally identified TRK fusion and had progressed or were intolerant to at least 1 priorTRKi. Parallel 3+3 dose escalations were pursued in adults and children, with intra-patient dose escalation permitted based on tolerance and pharmacokinetics. Pts aged &lt;12 received BSA-adjusted doses.
Results: As of 03-DEC-2018, a total of 31 TRK-fusion pts (7 children, 24 adults) with 11 cancer types had been treated. Median duration on last prior TRKi was 9.5 months (range, 2-30). In the Phase 1, doses of 32 mg QD to 150mg BID were explored, and TEAEs (all grades/cause, in &gt;3 pts) were dizziness/ataxia (65%), nausea/vomiting (50%), anemia (30%), myalgia, abdominal pain, fatigue, & lymphopenia (all 20%). Five Phase I pts (all adults) had DLTs: ataxia/dizziness (4), and ataxia/vomiting (1). For the SPPs: 1 pt dose-reduced and none discontinued for a TEAE. Cmax at doses ≥50 mg exceeded the predicted IC50 for TRK kinase mutations. Pretreatment tissue and/or plasma, as available, defined TRK kinase mutation status. Preliminary efficacy overall, and by TRK kinase mutation status, is shown in the Table.
Discussion: LOXO-195 had preliminary efficacy in pts with resistance to prior TRKi mediated by TRK kinase mutations. The subset of pts who develop TRK-independent resistance are unlikely to benefit from LOXO-195. Dose selection is ongoing in both children and adults.
