Central nervous system (CNS) metastases is inevitable for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). AZD3759 is a novel EGFR-TKI with impressive CNS penetration.We initiated a phase 2, multi-center, umbrella trial (CTONG1702, NCT03574402). The eighth arm assessed the efficacy and safety of AZD3759 in untreated EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastases. The primary objective was the objective response rate (ORR). Simon's minimax two-stage design was used to calculate the sample size. Dose optimal selection was performed using 200- and 300-mg bid cohorts.Between Oct 18, 2018 and Sep 14, 2020, 30 patients received AZD3759 at 200 mg (n = 15) or 300 mg (n = 15) bid. At data cutoff (Dec 31, 2022), median follow-up was 35.4 months. The primary endpoint was reached, with a confirmed ORR of 70% (21/30) (200 mg, 80%; 300 mg, 60%). The median progression-free survival was 12.9 months (200 mg, 15.8 months; 300 mg, 10.7 months). Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 73% (22/30) of the patients (200 mg: 60%; 300 mg: 87%). 59% (10/17) of the patients developed a T790M mutation at disease progression. The median overall survival was 33.7 months, and 34.1 months and 25.3 months in patient treated with or without osimertinib in a later-line setting, respectively.AZD3759 showed promising efficacy and tolerable safety as a first-line therapy in EGFR-mutated NSCLC with CNS metastases. The 200-mg bid cohort had better clinical outcomes. Sequential use of AZD3759 and third-generation EGFR-TKIs represents a new option.Chinese Thoracic Oncology Group (CTONG).© 2023 The Author(s).
