Abstract #: 8644
Title: Efficacy and Safety of Pralsetinib in Patients with Advanced RET-fusion-positive NSCLC: Final Data from the Phase 1/2 ARROW Study
Presenter: Gilberto de Lima Lopes, M.D., MBA

• Final top-line efficacy and safety in RET fusion-positive NSCLC patients produced clinically meaningful and durable responses regardless of prior therapies, with a manageable safety profile. These results support the findings in previously published results, with a longer follow up period.
• Overall response rate (ORR) was 70.3% and median duration of response (DOR) was 19.1 months in the measurable disease population (n=259). In the efficacy population (n=281), median overall survival (OS) was 44.3 months with median follow up of 47.6 months. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.1 months overall but was longer in the United States (25.9 months) vs. Asia (12.6 months) or Europe (12.9 months).

Title: A Phase 2 Study of Olutasidenib in Relapsed/Refractory AML: Outcomes by Number of Prior Treatment Regimens
Presenter: Eunice S. Wang, M.D.

• A post-hoc analysis of the pivotal cohort from the Phase 1/2 study evaluated outcomes in patients with R/R mIDH1 AML who received olutasidenib after either 1-2 or ≥3 prior lines of therapy.
• Patients in the 1-2 prior regimens group showed higher ORR and complete response (CR) / complete response with hematologic improvement (CRh) rates and longer median OS than those with ≥3 prior lines of therapy, providing a rationale for initiating olutasidenib earlier in the R/R treatment paradigm.

Abstract #: 6546
Title: Matching-adjusted Indirect Comparison (MAIC) of Olutasidenib and Ivosidenib in IDH1-mutated Relapsed/Refractory AML
Presenter: Justin M. Watts, M.D.

• In the absence of a head-to-head trial, a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) analysis compared relative treatment effects of olutasidenib vs. ivosidenib in mIDH1 R/R AML, leveraging registrational data for olutasidenib and ivosidenib to match patients using key baseline clinical variables.
• Naïve and adjusted rates of response for olutasidenib vs. ivosidenib were comparable (adjusted point estimate favored olutasidenib for CR and ivosidenib for CR+CRh), while a longer duration of CR+CRh was observed with olutasidenib. Adjusted OS was similar between the two groups, although the hazard ratio (HR) favored olutasidenib.
• Results rely on the assumption of no unmeasured confounders, which reflects a limitation of the methodology.

Abstract #: 3116
Title: Efficacy and Safety of Pralsetinib in RET Fusion-positive Solid Tumors: Final Data from the ARROW Trial
Presenter: Vivek Subbiah, M.D.

• Final results from the Phase 2 portion of ARROW in patients with RET fusion-positive solid tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid cancer showed an ORR of 46.4% (13/28), including an ORR for pancreatic cancer of 100% (5/5).
• Overall, 10.7% (3/28) achieved complete response (pancreatic cancer, n=2; cancer of unknown primary, n=1) and 35.7% (10/28) achieved partial response. Median PFS was 7 months and median DOR was 11.1 months. Median OS was 10.3 months.
• Pralsetinib demonstrated robust and durable anti-tumor activity, with responses observed in many tumor types. These data validate RET fusions as a tissue-agnostic target with sensitivity to RET inhibition and activity beyond NSCLC and thyroid cancer, further supporting the promising potential of pralsetinib to address the unmet medical need in these patients.

Abstract #: PF511
Title: Efficacy and Safety of Olutasidenib Monotherapy in Primary Refractory AML: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Phase 2 Study
Presenter: Antonio Curti, M.D., Ph.D.

• In the pivotal cohort of R/R AML patients, 46 were primary refractory to first line treatment or subsequent induction therapy. With olutasidenib therapy, the ORR was 50% (23/46) and 30% (14/46) achieved a CR/CRh, with a mediation duration of CR/CRh of 17.6 months.
• The most commonly occurring treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were nausea (41%), vomiting (30%), and an increase in white blood cells (30%), with no new safety signals observed.
• Olutasidenib as a single agent demonstrated clinically meaningful activity and a durable response in patients with primary refractory AML, with an acceptable tolerability profile, suggesting it may be an effective therapeutic option for this patient population with a traditionally poor prognosis.

Abstract #: PF516
Title: Effect of Mutation Type and Co-mutations on Response to Olutasidenib in Patients With R/R Mutated IDH1 AML
Presenter: Stéphane de Botton, M.D., Ph.D.

• In the final five-year analysis of the registrational trial, mutational analysis showed durable responses across IDH1-R132 mutation types, particularly in the absence of RTK pathway co-mutations.
• Response rates were lower in patients with ≥4 co-mutations.
• Results show that it is possible for patients with deleterious co-mutations (i.e., FLT3, TP53, etc.) to respond favorably to olutasidenib, although the sample sizes are small for some co-mutations.

Abstract #: PF530
Title: Olutasidenib as Maintenance Therapy after Treatment Response in Mutated IDH1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Presenter: Andrew H. Wei, MBBS, Ph.D.

• In a separate cohort (n=18) of the Phase 2 trial, olutasidenib was evaluated as maintenance therapy in patients who achieved minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive CR or CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) with prior treatment. The 4-month relapse-free survival (RFS) was 83% with a median RFS of 18.4 months. At 12 months, RFS was 71% and OS was 89%. RFS at 2 years was 48%. 
• Two patients who had received prior venetoclax therapy entered with a CRi, improved to a CRh and ultimately a CR during the study.
• Most common treatment-emergent AEs were fatigue (33%), headache (33%) and nausea (28%), with no new safety signals.
• Olutasidenib as a single agent demonstrated clinically meaningful activity as a maintenance strategy in a subset of AML patients with CR/CRi and persistent MRD ≥0.01% after prior therapy. The analysis supports the potential benefit of switching to olutasidenib upon response to therapy.

About NSCLC
It is estimated that over 226,000 adults in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2025. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common type accounting for 85-90% of all lung cancer diagnoses.¹ RET fusions are implicated in approximately 1-2% of patients with NSCLC.²

About AML
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects myeloid cells, which normally develop into various types of mature blood cells. AML occurs primarily in adults and accounts for about 1 percent of all adult cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,010 new cases in the United States, most in adults, in 2025.³

Relapsed AML affects about half of all patients who, following treatment and remission, experience a return of leukemia cells in the bone marrow.^4,5 Refractory AML, which affects between 10 and 40 percent of newly diagnosed patients, occurs when a patient fails to achieve remission even after intensive treatment.⁶ Quality of life declines for patients with each successive line of treatment for AML, and well-tolerated treatments in relapsed or refractory disease remain an unmet need.

About GAVRETO^® (pralsetinib)

INDICATIONS

GAVRETO (pralsetinib) is indicated for the treatment of:

• Adult patients with metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as detected by an FDA-approved test
• Adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate)*

*This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trial(s).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Severe, life-threatening, and fatal ILD/pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with GAVRETO.  Pneumonitis occurred in 12% of patients who received GAVRETO, including 3.3% with Grade 3-4, and 0.2% with fatal reactions. Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold GAVRETO and promptly investigate for ILD in any patient who presents with acute or worsening of respiratory symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever). Withhold, reduce dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity of confirmed ILD.
• Hypertension: Occurred in 35% of patients, including Grade 3 hypertension in 18% of patients. Overall, 8% had their dose interrupted and 4.8% had their dose reduced for hypertension. Treatment-emergent hypertension was most commonly managed with anti-hypertension medications. Do not initiate GAVRETO in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure prior to initiating GAVRETO. Monitor blood pressure after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Initiate or adjust anti-hypertensive therapy as appropriate. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on the severity.
• Hepatotoxicity: Serious hepatic adverse reactions occurred in 1.5% of patients treated with GAVRETO. Increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 49% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 7% and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) occurred in 37% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 in 4.8%. The median time to first onset for increased AST was 15 days (range: 5 days to 2.5 years) and increased ALT was 24 days (range: 7 days to 3.7 years). Monitor AST and ALT prior to initiating GAVRETO, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose or permanently discontinue GAVRETO based on severity.
• Hemorrhagic Events: Serious, including fatal, hemorrhagic events can occur with GAVRETO.  Grade ≥3 events occurred in 4.1% of patients treated with GAVRETO including one patient with a fatal hemorrhagic event. Permanently discontinue GAVRETO in patients with severe or life-threatening hemorrhage.
• Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS): Cases of TLS have been reported in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma receiving GAVRETO. Patients may be at risk of TLS if they have rapidly growing tumors, a high tumor burden, renal dysfunction, or dehydration. Closely monitor patients at risk, consider appropriate prophylaxis including hydration, and treat as clinically indicated.
• Risk of Impaired Wound Healing: Impaired wound healing can occur in patients who receive drugs that inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. Therefore, GAVRETO has the potential to adversely affect wound healing. Withhold GAVRETO for at least 5 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer for at least 2 weeks following major surgery and until adequate wound healing. The safety of resumption of GAVRETO after resolution of wound healing complications has not been established.
• Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, GAVRETO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 2 weeks after the last dose. Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with GAVRETO and for 1 week after the last dose.
• Common adverse reactions (≥25%) were musculoskeletal pain, constipation, hypertension, diarrhea, fatigue, edema, pyrexia, and cough. Common Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities (≥2%) were decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased hemoglobin, decreased phosphate, decreased leukocytes, decreased sodium, increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), decreased calcium (corrected), decreased platelets, increased alkaline phosphatase, increased potassium, decreased potassium, and increased bilirubin.
• Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors, P-gp inhibitors, or combined P-gp and strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the GAVRETO dose. Avoid coadministration of GAVRETO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the GAVRETO dose.
• Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with GAVRETO and for 1 week after the last dose.
• Pediatric Use: Monitor open growth plates in adolescent patients. Consider interrupting or discontinuing GAVRETO if abnormalities occur.

About REZLIDHIA^®

INDICATION

REZLIDHIA is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation as detected by an FDA-approved test.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Differentiation Syndrome

REZLIDHIA can cause differentiation syndrome. In the clinical trial of REZLIDHIA in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, differentiation syndrome occurred in 16% of patients, with grade 3 or 4 differentiation syndrome occurring in 8% of patients treated, and fatalities in 1% of patients. Differentiation syndrome is associated with rapid proliferation and differentiation of myeloid cells and may be life-threatening or fatal. Symptoms of differentiation syndrome in patients treated with REZLIDHIA included leukocytosis, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates/pleuropericardial effusion, kidney injury, fever, edema, pyrexia, and weight gain. Of the 25 patients who experienced differentiation syndrome, 19 (76%) recovered after treatment or after dose interruption of REZLIDHIA. Differentiation syndrome occurred as early as 1 day and up to 18 months after REZLIDHIA initiation and has been observed with or without concomitant leukocytosis.

If differentiation syndrome is suspected, temporarily withhold REZLIDHIA and initiate systemic corticosteroids (e.g., dexamethasone 10 mg IV every 12 hours) for a minimum of 3 days and until resolution of signs and symptoms.  If concomitant leukocytosis is observed, initiate treatment with hydroxyurea, as clinically indicated. Taper corticosteroids and hydroxyurea after resolution of symptoms. Differentiation syndrome may recur with premature discontinuation of corticosteroids and/or hydroxyurea treatment. Institute supportive measures and hemodynamic monitoring until improvement; withhold dose of REZLIDHIA and consider dose reduction based on recurrence.

Hepatotoxicity

REZLIDHIA can cause hepatotoxicity, presenting as increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), increased blood alkaline phosphatase, and/or elevated bilirubin. Of 153 patients with relapsed or refractory AML who received REZLIDHIA, hepatotoxicity occurred in 23% of patients; 13% experienced grade 3 or 4 hepatotoxicity. One patient treated with REZLIDHIA in combination with azacitidine in the clinical trial, a combination for which REZLIDHIA is not indicated, died from complications of drug-induced liver injury. The median time to onset of hepatotoxicity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML treated with REZLIDHIA was 1.2 months (range: 1 day to 17.5 months) after REZLIDHIA initiation, and the median time to resolution was 12 days (range: 1 day to 17 months). The most common hepatotoxicities were elevations of ALT, AST, blood alkaline phosphatase, and blood bilirubin.

Monitor patients frequently for clinical symptoms of hepatic dysfunction such as fatigue, anorexia, right upper abdominal discomfort, dark urine, or jaundice. Obtain baseline liver function tests prior to initiation of REZLIDHIA, at least once weekly for the first two months, once every other week for the third month, once in the fourth month, and once every other month for the duration of therapy. If hepatic dysfunction occurs, withhold, reduce, or permanently discontinue REZLIDHIA based on recurrence/severity.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common (≥20%) adverse reactions, including laboratory abnormalities, were aspartate aminotransferase increased, alanine aminotransferase increased, potassium decreased, sodium decreased, alkaline phosphatase increased, nausea, creatinine increased, fatigue/malaise, arthralgia, constipation, lymphocytes increased, bilirubin increased, leukocytosis, uric acid increased, dyspnea, pyrexia, rash, lipase increased, mucositis, diarrhea and transaminitis.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers.
• Avoid concomitant use of REZLIDHIA with sensitive CYP3A substrates unless otherwise instructed in the substrates prescribing information. If concomitant use is unavoidable, monitor patients for loss of therapeutic effect of these drugs.

LACTATION

Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with REZLIDHIA and for 2 weeks after the last dose.

GERIATRIC USE

No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between patients 65 years and older and younger patients. Compared to patients younger than 65 years of age, an increase in incidence of hepatotoxicity and hypertension was observed in patients ≥65 years of age.

HEPATIC IMPAIRMENT

In patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, closely monitor for increased probability of differentiation syndrome.
