Epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations are seen in ∼4–12% of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. However, there is no targeted therapy approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer patients with these rare epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. Previous studies revealed that epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations are unique in their ability to activate epidermal growth factor receptor without the typical structural changes associated with the common epidermal growth factor receptor mutations, reducing the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors currently approved for non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify active epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other effective treatment strategies for non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations. Mobocertinib is a novel irreversible epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations. Preclinical study revealed that mobocertinib inhibited the viability of epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations-driven patient-derived xenografts and murine orthotopic tumors more potently than traditional epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In a study recently published in Cancer Discovery, Gonzalvez et al. assessed the safety, tolerability, and antitumor efficacy of mobocertinib in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations. They found that non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion mutations can benefit from mobocertinib treatment. Additionally, the treatment-related toxicity of mobocertinib was manageable. These findings lay the foundation for the application of mobocertinib in epidermal growth factor receptor gene exon 20 insertion-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

9098 Background: There is currently no targeted therapy approved for patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (exon20ins) in NSCLC. Real world treatment outcome evidence for this rare population is limited. This study describes treatment patterns and outcomes in US patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. Methods: The nationwide Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived deidentified database (cut-off 29 Feb 2020) was used to select 4 separate cohorts: (1) first-line (1L): patients receiving 1L therapy after documented exon20ins (1L start date as index date); (2) second or later line (≥2L): patients receiving ≥2L therapy after documented exon20ins (start date of ≥2L as index date); (3) ≥2L trial-aligned: ≥2L patients with baseline characteristics aligned with the key eligibility criteria of mobocertinib Trial NCT02716116 Part 3; and (4) ≥2L post platinum: ≥2L trial-aligned patients previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Real-world endpoints were: confirmed overall response rate (cORR), PFS, and OS. Additional analyses were conducted for patients treated with immune-oncology therapy (IO). Results: Of 237 EGFR exon20ins patients, 129 patients were included in 1L cohort and 114 were in ≥2L cohort, including 63 ≥2L trial-aligned and 50 ≥2L post platinum patients. In 1L patients, EGFR TKI (28.7%) and platinum-based chemotherapy ± IO (56.6%) were the most common 1L regimens. In ≥2L patients, 28.1% received IO monotherapy, 17.5% received EGFR TKI, and 23.7% received platinum-based chemotherapy ± IO as index treatment. In the 1L setting, median PFS (mPFS) was 5.7 months for platinum-based chemotherapy and 4.5 months for IO + platinum-based chemotherapy. In the ≥2L setting, mPFS was 3.7 months for any therapy and 2.3 months for IO monotherapy. Full effectiveness data are provided in the accompanying table. Conclusions: This real world study provided a benchmark on the treatment outcome in patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. Platinum-based chemotherapy was the most common 1L therapy and provided the longest mPFS. Immunotherapy, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, appeared less effective for treatment of NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins. There is an unmet medical need for improved therapeutic options.[Table: see text]
