OS10.6 Infigratinib (BGJ398) in patients with recurrent gliomas with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) alterations: a multicenter phase II study

ABSTRACT: Abstract

BACKGROUND

FGFR mutations and translocations occur in approximately 10% of glioblastomas (GBMs). FGFR3-TACC3 fusion has been reported as predictive of response to FGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy both pre-clinically and clinically. Infigratinib (BGJ398) is a selective small-molecule pan-FGFR kinase inhibitor that has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in several solid tumors with FGFR genetic alterations. Therefore, we conducted a phase II trial to test the efficacy of infigratinib in FGFR-altered recurrent GBM (NCT01975701).

METHODS

This open-label trial accrued adults with recurrent high-grade gliomas following failure of initial therapy that harbored FGFR1-TACC1 or FGFR3-TACC3 fusions; activating mutations in FGFR1, 2 or 3; or FGFR1, 2, 3, or 4 amplification. Oral infigratinib was administered 125 mg on days 1–21 every 28 days. Prophylaxis for hyperphosphatemia, a common toxicity, was recommended. The primary endpoint was the 6-month progression-free survival (6mPFS) rate by RANO (locally assessed, estimated by K-M method), with a goal of >40%.

RESULTS

As of the Sep 2017 data cut-off, 26 patients (16 men, 10 women; median age 55 years, range 20–76 years; 50% with ?2 prior regimens) were treated, and 24 (92.3%) discontinued for disease progression (n=21) or other reasons (n=3). All patients had FGFR1 or FGFR3 gene alterations, and 4 had >1 gene alteration. The estimated 6mPFS rate was 16% (95% CI 5.0–32.5%); median PFS was 1.7 months (95% CI 1.1–2.8 months); median OS was 6.7 months (95% CI 4.2–11.7 months); ORR was 7.7% (95% CI 1.0–25.1%). The best overall response was: partial response 7.7% (FGFR1 mutation n=1; FGFR3 amplification n=1); stable disease 26.9%; progressive disease 50.0%; missing/unknown 15.3%. The most common (>15%) all-grade treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were hyperphosphatemia, fatigue, diarrhea, hyperlipasemia, and stomatitis. There were no grade 4 treatment-related AEs. Eleven patients (42.3%) had treatment-related AEs requiring dose interruptions or reductions (most commonly hyperphosphatemia).

CONCLUSIONS

Infigratinib induced partial response or stable disease in approximately one-third of patients with recurrent GBM and/or other glioma subtypes harboring FGFR alterations. Most AEs were reversible and manageable. Further potential combinations are being explored in patients with proven FGFR-TACC fusion genes and analysis of biomarker data is ongoing.

Project description:Purpose No standard treatment exists for patients with cholangiocarcinoma for whom first-line gemcitabine-based therapy fails. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 ( FGFR2) fusions/translocations are present in 13% to 17% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. BGJ398, an orally bioavailable, selective pan-FGFR kinase inhibitor, has shown preliminary clinical activity against tumors with FGFR alterations. Methods A multicenter, open-label, phase II study ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02150967) evaluated BGJ398 antitumor activity in patients age ? 18 years with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma containing FGFR2 fusions or other FGFR alterations whose disease had progressed while receiving prior therapy. Patients received BGJ398 125 mg once daily for 21 days, then 7 days off (28-day cycles). The primary end point was investigator-assessed overall response rate. Results Sixty-one patients (35 women; median age, 57 years) with FGFR2 fusion (n = 48), mutation (n = 8), or amplification (n = 3) participated. At the prespecified data cutoff (June 30, 2016), 50 patients had discontinued treatment. All responsive tumors contained FGFR2 fusions. The overall response rate was 14.8% (18.8% FGFR2 fusions only), disease control rate was 75.4% (83.3% FGFR2 fusions only), and estimated median progression-free survival was 5.8 months (95% CI, 4.3 to 7.6 months). Adverse events included hyperphosphatemia (72.1% all grade), fatigue (36.1%), stomatitis (29.5%), and alopecia (26.2%). Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 25 patients (41%) and included hyperphosphatemia (16.4%), stomatitis (6.6%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (4.9%). Conclusion BGJ398 is a first-in-class FGFR kinase inhibitor with manageable toxicities that shows meaningful clinical activity against chemotherapy-refractory cholangiocarcinoma containing FGFR2 fusions. This promising antitumor activity supports continued development of BGJ398 in this highly selected patient population.

Project description:BackgroundInfigratinib (BGJ398) is a potent, selective fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1-3 inhibitor with significant activity in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) bearing FGFR3 alterations. It can cause hyperphosphatemia due to the "on-target" class effect of FGFR1 inhibition.ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between hyperphosphatemia and treatment response in patients with mUC.InterventionOral infigratinib 125 mg/d for 21 d every 28 d.Design, setting, and participantsData from patients treated with infigratinib in a phase I trial with platinum-refractory mUC and activating FGFR3 alterations were retrospectively analyzed for clinical efficacy in relation to serum hyperphosphatemia. The relationship between plasma infigratinib concentration and phosphorous levels was also assessed.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisClinical outcomes were compared in groups with/without hyperphosphatemia.Results and limitationsOf the 67 patients enrolled, 48 (71.6%) had hyperphosphatemia on one or more laboratory tests. Findings in patients with versus without hyperphosphatemia were the following: overall response rate 33.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 20.4-48.4) versus 5.3% (95% CI 0.1-26.0); disease control rate 75.0% (95% CI 60.4-86.4) versus 36.8% (95% CI 16.3-61.6). This trend was maintained in a 1-mo landmark analysis. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis showed that serum phosphorus levels and physiologic infigratinib concentrations were correlated positively. Key limitations include retrospective design, lack of comparator, and limited sample size.ConclusionsThis is the first published study to suggest that hyperphosphatemia caused by FGFR inhibitors, such as infigratinib, can be a surrogate biomarker for treatment response. These findings are consistent with other reported observations and will need to be validated further in a larger prospective trial.Patient summaryTargeted therapy is a new paradigm in treating bladder cancer. In a study using infigratinib, a drug that targets mutations in a gene called fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), we found that elevated levels of phosphorous were associated with greater clinical benefit. In the future, these data may help inform treatment strategies.

Project description:BackgroundAberrant fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling can substantially influence oncogenicity. Despite that FGFR gene abnormality is often detected by cancer genome profiling tests, there is no tumor-agnostic approval yet for these aberrations. E7090 (tasurgratinib) is an orally available selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of FGFR1-3. Specific FGFR alterations were previously reported to be highly sensitive to E7090 based on a high-throughput functional evaluation method, called mixed-all-nominated-mutants-in-one (MANO) method, narrowing down the most promising targets. This trial was focused on the alterations identified by the MANO method and was performed under the nationwide large registry network for rare cancers in Japan (MASTER KEY Project).Methods/designThis single-arm Phase 2 trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of E7090 in patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors harboring FGFR alterations. Three cohorts were set based on the type of FGFR alterations and the results of MANO method. A maximum of 45 patients will be enrolled from 5 institutions over 2.5 years. E7090 will be administered once daily as an oral single agent in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint is the objective overall response rate; whereas, the secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, safety, duration of response, and time to response. Ethics approval was granted by the National Cancer Center Hospital Certified Review Board. Patient enrollment began in June 2021.DiscussionA unique investigator-initiated multicenter Phase 2 trial was designed based on the results of preclinical investigation aiming to acquire the approval of E7090 for solid tumors harboring FGFR gene alterations. The findings may serve as a novel model for the development of tumor-agnostic molecular targeted therapies against rare genetic abnormalities.Trial registrationJapan Registry of Clinical Trial: jRCT2031210043 (registered April 20, 2021) ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04962867 (registered July 15, 2021).

Project description:Abstract Background: Genetic alterations of FGFRs are known to play an important role in the proliferation, survival, and migration of cancer cells as well as tumor angiogenesis and drug resistance. E7090 is an orally available selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor for FGFR1-3. A global Phase 2 study of E7090 in subjects with unresectable advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring FGFR2 gene fusion is ongoing (NCT04238715). We recently reported FGFR alterations that are highly sensitive to E7090 using a high-throughput functional evaluation method called MANO method (Nakamura et al. npj Precision Oncology, 2021), narrowing down the most promising FGFR alteration targets. Here, we designed a single-arm, open-label, investigator-initiated multicenter Phase 2 basket study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of E7090 in subjects with advanced or recurrent solid tumors harboring FGFR gene alterations, focusing on alterations identified by MANO method, as a sub-study under the nationwide large registry for rare cancers in Japan (MASTER KEY Project). Methods: The key eligibility criteria are: 1) Histologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced solid tumor; 2) Ineffective to or intolerant to first line treatment, or for which standard treatment is no longer available; and 3) Confirmed FGFR gene alterations via next-generation sequencing assays that are reimbursed by insurance. Subjects will receive E7090 140 mg orally once daily until disease progression or development of unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) by independent central review (RECIST v1.1), and the secondary endpoints include ORR by investigator assessment, progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, safety, duration of response, and time to response. For primary brain tumors, RANO criteria is also applied in assessment of response. The study enrolls approximately 45 subjects.
