Olaparib Combined With Dacomitinib in Osimertinib-Resistant Brain and Leptomeningeal Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer patients with brain and leptomeningeal metastases usually have poor prognosis. For those patients with EGFR mutations, osimertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is the first choice of treatment. However, drug resistance to osimertinib frequently occurs; and to date, the available follow-up treatment strategies have limited efficacy. In this case study, we report that treatments with olaparib, a Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, combined with dacomitinib, a second-generation EGFR TKI, benefited a lung cancer patient with osimertinib-resistant brain and leptomeningeal metastases. This 55-year-old male patient was found to have a pL858R mutation on EGFR exon 21 combined with TP53 and ERBB2 mutations after developing drug resistance to osimertinib treatment. Based on the genetic testing results, he was treated with olaparib and dacomitinib, and obtained 6 months of progression-free survival (PFS) and 13 months of overall survival (OS) after the diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis. This case report represents the first study applying PARP inhibitor in combination with dacomitinib in the treatment of leptomeningeal metastases after osimertinib resistance.

Project description:RationaleLeptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is an important cause of mortality in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As the symptoms of LM and its early clinical manifestations are nonspecific, early diagnosis of LM is difficult. However, there are few treatment options for LM, which leads to a poor prognosis; thus, increased clinical attention is necessary. The effects of most systemic chemotherapies on metastatic brain tumors (brain metastases and LMs) are limited as they cannot pass the blood-brain barrier; therefore, whole-brain radiation therapy is a therapeutic option. Osimertinib is a potent and irreversible third-generation oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). It binds to EGFR with high affinity when the EGFR T790M mutation is present together with sensitizing mutations. The clinical efficacy of osimertinib in NSCLC patients carrying the T790M mutation has been demonstrated in clinical trial NCT02468661. Intrathecal injection of chemotherapeutic drugs can be directed to a specific lesion. Temozolomide is one such drug, and its effect has been confirmed.Patient and interventionsWe treated a 38-year-old patient with NSCLC who carried the EGFR L858R mutation. We administered a combination of oral osimertinib and oral temozolomide plus an intrathecal injection of cytarabine and whole-brain radiation therapy for symptomatic multiple brain metastases.OutcomesThe patient showed a marked response to this combination therapy. To date (after ~18 months), no recurrence or new lesions have been observed and he is asymptomatic. His disease-free survival surpasses that achieved with any monotherapy for LM.LessonsThis is the first report to demonstrate the response to combination therapy in an NSCLC patient with LM. These findings indicate the potential utility of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy combined with targeted therapy combined with local treatment, as each treatment acts via a different mechanism, enhancing their therapeutic effects.

Project description:BackgroundLeptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a catastrophic complication for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and carries an extremely poor prognosis. The efficacy of osimertinib 80 mg once daily for epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) NSCLC with LM has yet to be fully assessed. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of osimertinib in such patients and their genetic profiles at the time of LM diagnosis.MethodsFrom January 2016 to April 2020, pretreated EGFRm NSCLC patients who had progressed with cytologically confirmed symptomatic LM and received osimertinib 80 mg once daily were enrolled retrospectively. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were evaluated, along with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Next-generation sequencing of paired samples of cerebrospinal fluid and plasma collected at LM diagnosis was performed simultaneously.ResultsForty cases of EGFRm lung adenocarcinoma with LM were analyzed. Females accounted for 75.0% of enrollees. Of the patients, 37.5% had a poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score (≥2). Twelve patients had received at least 2 prior lines of treatment. All patients received osimertinib treatment regardless of their T790M status. According to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO)-LM criteria, the ORR and DCR were 20.0% and 95.0%, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 10.0 (95% CI: 7.7-12.3) and 15.1 months (95% CI: 11.0-19.4), respectively. No significant difference was observed between T790M-negative patients (n=24) and T790M-positive patients (n=16) with respect to PFS [median, 10.8 (95% CI: 7.7-13.8) vs. 8.8 months (95% CI: 7.3-10.3), HR=0.595, P=0.158] or OS [median, 17.2 (95% CI: 8.7-25.7) vs. 11.4 months (95% CI: 3.9-19.0), HR=0.913, P=0.822]. The detection rate of EGFR sensitizing mutations in cerebrospinal fluid was higher than that in plasma (97.5% vs. 50%, P=0.311), whereas the incidence of T790M detection in cerebrospinal fluid was significantly lower than that in plasma (20.0% vs. 32.5%, P=0.043).ConclusionsOsimertinib 80 mg once daily shows good efficacy in pretreated EGFRm NSCLC patients with LM regardless of their T790M status. Combining cerebrospinal fluid and plasma testing can aid in revealing more genetic information.

Project description:BackgroundLeptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is associated with poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of osimertinib combined with bevacizumab for LM from epidermal growth factor receptor mutation (EGFRm) NSCLC.MethodsWe conducted a phase II single-arm prospective clinical trial of EGFRm NSCLC with LM treated with osimertinib combined with bevacizumab. LM response assessment was based on the modified RANO LM radiological criteria; CNS and extra-CNS response was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. The primary end points included LM progression-free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR); the secondary end points included safety and LM overall survival (OS).ResultsA total of 14 patients were included in the study, with a median age of 61 years, and they were predominantly female (64%). EGFR mutations were reported in exons 19 del (n = 7) and 21 L858R (n = 7). When LM was diagnosed, 12 (85.7%) patients had clinical symptoms, 71.4% (10/14) of patients were diagnosed with LM by cytology, and five (35.7%) patients had a performance status (PS) score > 2. The median LM PFS was 9.3 months (95% CI: 8.2-10.4), and the LM ORR was 50%. The safety findings in the present study were consistent with the known profile of osimertinib with bevacizumab; the median LM OS was 12.6 months, and the one-year survival rate was 35.7%.ConclusionsOsimertinib combined with bevacizumab is an appropriate treatment option for patients with LM from EGFRm NSCLC.Key pointsSIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: To date, there is no prospective clinical study on the treatment of osimertinib combined with bevacizumab in EGFRm NSCLC with LM.What this study addsThe median LM PFS was 9.3 months (95% CI: 8.2-10.4), and the LM ORR was 50%, the median LM OS was 12.6 months, and the one-year survival rate was 35.7%. Osimertinib combined with bevacizumab is an appropriate treatment option for patients with LM from EGFRm NSCLC.
