Abstract Background FGFR2 fusions occur in ~15% of patients (pts) with iCCA, a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. Futibatinib, a highly selective, irreversible FGFR1-4 inhibitor, has shown activity across tumor types, including iCCA, in a phase 1 study. The pivotal phase 2 FOENIX-CCA2 trial (NCT02052778) is evaluating futibatinib in iCCA harboring FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements. Here, we report the first efficacy, safety, and quality of life (QoL) data for the complete FOENIX-CCA2 population. Methods Eligible pts had unresectable/metastatic iCCA with an FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement and progressive disease (PD) after ≥1 prior treatment (tx; excluding FGFR inhibitors). Pts received futibatinib 20 mg QD until PD/intolerability. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 by independent central review (target ORR: 20%). Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Subgroup analyses were performed by pt characteristic and molecular alteration. Results Among 103 pts (56% female), 53% had received ≥2 prior tx. FGFR2 fusions were present in 78% (23% had FGFR2-BICC1 fusions) and FGFR2 rearrangements in 22%. At data cutoff (Oct 1, 2020), 72 pts (70%) had discontinued tx. The study met its primary objective with a confirmed ORR of 41.7% (43/103). Responses were durable, with a median (m) DOR of 9.7 mo and 72% of responses ≥6 mo. DCR was 82.5%. mPFS was 9.0 mo; mOS was 21.7 mo, with a 12-mo OS rate of 72%. ORR was consistent across pt demographic subgroups (≥65 y: 65.2%; 2 prior tx: 38.7%). Common tx-related AEs (TRAEs) were hyperphosphatemia (85%), alopecia (33%), and dry mouth (30%). The most frequent grade 3 TRAE, hyperphosphatemia (30%), resolved with adequate management (median 7 d). Retinal disorders (all grade 1-2) were reported in 8% of pts. TRAEs were managed with dosing interruptions (50%)/reductions (54%); 2 pts discontinued tx due to TRAEs. No tx-related deaths occurred. ORRs were consistent in pts with dosing interruptions (40.2%) or reductions (46.8%). PROs were stable through 11.0 mo of tx. In exploratory biomarker analyses, ORR was consistent in pts with FGFR2 fusions (43.8%) and other FGFR2 rearrangements (34.8%) and in pts with BICC1 (41.7%) and non-BICC1 (44.6%) fusion partners. Notably, no obvious differences in ORR were observed in pts with co-occurring genetic alterations, including TP53 comutations (ORR, 38.5% [5/13]). Additional biomarker data will be presented. Conclusions Futibatinib resulted in frequent, durable objective responses in pts with iCCA harboring FGFR2 fusion/rearrangements, regardless of pt baseline characteristic, molecular alteration, or comutation. AEs were manageable with dosing modifications that did not impact response. QoL was maintained. Citation Format: Lipika Goyal, Funda Meric-Bernstam, Antoine Hollebecque, Chigusa Morizane, Juan W.

3079 Background: RET fusions are targetable oncogenic drivers in multiple solid tumor types. ARROW study (NCT03037385) data supported the US FDA approval of pralsetinib, a once-daily (QD) oral highly potent and selective RET inhibitor, for RET-altered metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and advanced/metastatic thyroid cancer. Here we provide an update on the clinical activity of pralsetinib in patients (pts) with advanced RET fusion-positive solid tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid cancer (“other” RET fusion–positive solid tumors). Methods: The global ongoing ARROW study (84 sites in 13 countries) includes phase 1 dose-escalation (30–600 mg [QD or twice daily]) and phase 2 expansion cohorts (400 mg QD) defined by tumor type and RET alteration status. Primary objectives are overall response rate (ORR; blinded independent central review per RECIST v1.1) and safety. Results: Updated analyses were completed as of Nov 6, 2020 (data cut-off) for 21 pts with other RET fusion–positive solid tumors enrolled by May 22, 2020 (enrollment cut-off) (lung other than NSCLC, n = 4; pancreatic, n = 3; colon, n = 3; cholangiocarcinoma, n = 3; unknown primary [UP], n = 2; other, n = 6). Overall, 11 (52%) pts received ≥2 prior lines of therapy for metastatic disease. The most common RET fusion partners were CCDC6 and KIF5B (24% each), NCOA4 (19%), other (10%), and unknown (24%). Two pts with colon cancer were excluded from efficacy analyses due to other driver mutations ( KRAS, PIK3CB). In 19 evaluable pts, ORR was 53% (95% CI, 29–76) with 2 (11%) complete responses (CR) and 8 (42%) partial responses (PR). Responses occurred across multiple tumor types including 3/3 pts with pancreatic cancer (including a CR ongoing at 20.8 months on treatment), 2/2 pts with UP, 2/3 pts with cholangiocarcinoma, and in pts with mesenchymal, salivary duct, and lung carcinoid tumors. Median duration of response was 19.0 months (95% CI, 5.5–not estimable). Clinical benefit rate (proportion with CR, PR, or stable disease persisting ≥16 weeks) was 68% (95% CI, 43–87). Tumor shrinkage was observed in 89% of 18 evaluable pts with post-baseline tumor assessment. In all pts enrolled in ARROW who received pralsetinib 400 mg QD irrespective of tumor type (n = 471) the most common (≥25%) treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were increased aspartate aminotransferase (39%), anemia (35%), increased alanine aminotransferase (28%), constipation (26%), and hypertension (25%). Overall, 6% of pts discontinued treatment due to TRAEs. Conclusions: Pralsetinib showed robust, durable antitumor activity in patients with multiple RET fusion‒positive, heavily pre-treated, advanced solid tumors, and was well tolerated. These data highlight the need for broad RET testing to identify candidates who could benefit from treatment with pralsetinib. Enrollment of patients with other RET fusion–positive solid tumors in ARROW is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03037385.

467 Background: Recent tumor-agnostic drug approvals have resulted in a paradigm shift in cancer treatment away from organ/histology specific indications to biomarker-guided tumor-agnostic approaches. Pralsetinib is a potent and selective RET inhibitor, which has recently been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adults with metastatic RET fusion–positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is under New Drug Application review for RET mutant thyroid cancers by the FDA. RET fusions occur in up to approximately 7‒8% of patients with gastrointestinal malignancies, including pancreatic, liver, and colorectal cancers. There are currently no approved selective RET inhibitors for patients with RET fusion–positive solid tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid cancer. Here, we present data on the clinical activity of pralsetinib in patients with RET fusion–positive solid tumor types other than NSCLC enrolled in the Phase I/II ARROW study (NCT03037385). Methods: ARROW consists of a phase I dose escalation (30–600 mg once [QD] or twice daily) followed by a phase II expansion (400 mg QD) in patients with advanced RET-altered solid tumors. Primary objectives are overall response rate (ORR), per RECICT v1.1 and safety. Results: A total of 13 patients with RET fusion–positive thyroid cancer (12 papillary, 1 poorly differentiated; enrollment cutoff July 11, 2019) and 14 patients with RET fusion–positive solid tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid (3 pancreatic, 3 colon, 2 cholangiocarcinoma, 6 other; enrollment cutoff November 19, 2019) were enrolled in ARROW and received pralsetinib. At the February 13, 2020, data cutoff, the ORR (blinded central review) in response-evaluable patients with RET fusion–positive thyroid cancer was 91% (10/11; 95% CI: 59‒100) and disease control rate was 100% (95% CI: 72‒100). Treatment was ongoing in 7 of 11 patients. In RET fusion–positive solid tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid, ORR (investigator’s assessment) was 50% (6/12; 95% CI: 21‒79) and responses were observed in all patients with pancreatic cancer (3/3) and cholangiocarcinoma (2/2). Treatment was ongoing in 6 of 12 patients, including 2 of 3 patients with pancreatic cancer and 1 of 2 patients with cholangiocarcinoma. Responses were observed across multiple fusion genotypes. In the 27 patients with RET fusion–positive tumors other than NSCLC, most frequent treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1–2, and included anemia (33%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (33%), decreased white blood cell count (33%), hypertension (30%), increased alanine aminotransferase (26%), hyperphosphatemia (19%), and neutropenia (19%). No patients discontinued due to TRAEs. Conclusions: Pralsetinib demonstrated broad and durable antitumor activity across multiple advanced solid tumor types, regardless of RET fusion genotype, and was well tolerated. The study is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03037385.

109 Background: RET gene fusions are targetable oncogenic drivers in multiple tumor types, including up to 20% of papillary thyroid cancers (PTC). Pralsetinib is an investigational, highly potent, selective inhibitor of oncogenic RET alterations. In the registration-enabling Phase 1/2 ARROW study (NCT03037385), pralsetinib demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR; response-evaluable patients [REP], central review) of 73% (19/26) in treatment-naïve patients and 61% (49/80; 2 pending confirmation) in platinum-exposed patients with RET fusion+ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and was well tolerated (data cut-off November 18, 2019). We provide an update on the clinical activity of pralsetinib in other RET fusion+ solid tumor types. Methods: ARROW consists of a phase 1 dose escalation (30–600 mg once [QD] or twice daily) followed by a phase 2 expansion (400 mg QD) in patients with advanced RET-altered solid tumors. Primary objectives were ORR and safety. Results: As of November 18, 2019, 29 patients with metastatic solid tumor types other than NSCLC (16 PTC, 1 undifferentiated thyroid, 3 pancreatic, 3 colon, 6 other) bearing a RET fusion have received pralsetinib. Efficacy data are presented for REP enrolled by July 11, 2019. In patients with thyroid cancer that is RET fusion+, ORR (investigator assessment) was 75% (9/12; all confirmed). Median (range) duration of response (DOR) was 14.5 (3.7+, 16.8) months (mo), with 67% of responding patients continuing treatment. Two patients with stable disease were continuing treatment at 11.5+ and 19.3+ mo. In other RET fusion+ cancers, ORR was 60% (3/5; all confirmed) with partial responses in 2/2 patients with pancreatic cancer (DOR 5.5, 7.4+ mo) and 1 patient with intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma (DOR 7.5 mo). Two patients with colon cancer had stable disease for 7.3 and 9.3 mo. Responses were observed across multiple fusion genotypes. In the entire safety population (all patients treated with 400 mg QD pralsetinib, regardless of diagnosis; n = 354), most treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1-2, and included increased aspartate aminotransferase (31%), anemia (22%), increased alanine aminotransferase (21%), constipation (21%) and hypertension (20%). Only 4% of patients in the safety population discontinued due to TRAEs. Conclusions: Pralsetinib demonstrated broad and durable antitumor activity across multiple advanced solid tumor types, regardless of RET fusion genotype, and was well tolerated. The study is ongoing and still enrolling patients in this cohort. Clinical trial information: NCT03037385.
