FDA Approved Repotrectinib For Metastatic ROS1-pos NSCLC

11/16/2023

0 Comments

 
​On November 15, 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved to repotrectinib (Augtyro, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) for locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-pos NSCLC. This is the FIRST approval for ROS1-pos NSCLC patients, who previously received ROS1 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) and for TKI-naïve patients.

Approval was based on the clinical trial called TRIDENT-1 (NCT03093116), which is a global, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial. This trial included patients with ROS1-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.


Picture
The efficacy was evaluated in:
  • 71 ROS1 TKI-naïve patients who received up to 1 prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy and, 
  • 56 patients who received 1 prior ROS1 TKI with no prior platinum-based chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

Confirmed overall response rate (ORR):
  • In the ROS1 TKI naïve group: 79% (95% CI: 68, 88) 
  • In the prior treatment with a ROS1 inhibitor group: 38% (95% CI: 25, 52)

Median duration of response (DOR):
  • In the ROS1 TKI naïve group: 34.1 months (95% CI: 25.6, not evaluable)
  • In the prior treatment with a ROS1 inhibitor group: 14.8 months (95% CI: 7.6, not evaluable)
​
Responses were observed in intracranial lesions in patients with measurable Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases, and in patients with resistance mutations following TKI therapy.

Side Effects: 
The most common (more than 20%) adverse reactions were:
  • dizziness
  • dysgeusia
  • peripheral neuropathy
  • constipation
  • dyspnea
  • ataxia
  • fatigue
  • cognitive disorders
  • muscular weakness

Recommended Dose:
The recommended repotrectinib dose is 160 mg orally once daily with or without food for 14 days, then increased to 160 mg twice daily, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
