Abstract
Background: TROP2 (trophoblast cell surface antigen 2) is commonly over-expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and associated with poor prognosis. SKB264 (MK-2870) is a TROP2 ADC developed with a novel linker to conjugate the payload, a belotecan-derivative topoisomerase I inhibitor. The linker is affected by both extracellular pH-sensitive cleavage and intracellular enzymatic cleavage within tumor cells, which leads to efficiently release payload inside tumor cells as well as within tumor microenvironment to exert its anti-tumor effects. Here, we present the updated data from a Phase 2 expansion cohort for patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC.
Methods: Pts with previously treated advanced NSCLC were enrolled to receive SKB264 at 5 mg/kg Q2W until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (KL264-01, NCT04152499). Tumor assessment was performed every 8 weeks per RECIST v1.1 assessed by investigator.
Results: As of Nov 22, 2023, 43 NSCLC pts had been enrolled. Median follow-up was 17.2 months (mo). 21 pts with EGFR wild type had received median prior 3 regimens of therapy including anti-PD-1/L1 inhibitors. 22 pts with EGFR mutant had progressed on or after TKI therapy, 50% of whom also failed at least one line of chemotherapy. Updated efficacy results are shown in the Table. Overall, 30 pts (69.8%) experienced Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The most common Grade ≥3 TRAEs were neutrophil count decreased (34.9%), anemia (30.2%), WBC count decreased (25.6%), stomatitis (9.3%), and rash (7.0%). No TRAEs leading to treatment discontinuation or deaths occurred. No drug-related ILD/pneumonitis was reported.
Conclusions: The updated data continues to demonstrate that SKB264 monotherapy delivers promising clinical efficacy with manageable toxicity in pretreated advanced NSCLC pts. A Phase 3 global study of SKB264 in pts with 3L+ EGFR mutant NSCLC (NCT06074588) and a Phase 3 study of SKB264 in China in pts with 2L EGFR mutant NSCLC (NCT05870319) are ongoing.
