LORVIQUA was designed to have improved Blood-Brain penetration to address the challenge of CNS progression head on1,2* Updated efficacy data, including intracranial activity, from an unplanned analysis after 3 years of follow-up1Finding 1: CNS progression delayed in nearly all LORVIQUA-treated patients at 3 years1,†
  • In the intention-to-treat population, the percentage of patients who did not experience CNS progression was 92.3% with LORVIQUA and 37.7% with crizotinib (HR, 0.08; 95% CI, 0.04-0.17)1
 Time to intracranial progression by BICR at 24 and 36 months
(ITT population, N=296)1

Data cutoff: 20 September 2021.1

Finding 2: Longer time to Intracranial progression in patients with or without CNS metastases at baseline1,†

With CNS metastases

  • In patients with CNS metastases at baseline (N=76), the percentage of patients without CNS progression at 36 months was 72.8% with LORVIQUA, compared with all patients who progressed with crizotinib before 24 months (HR, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.04-0.27)1
 Time to intracranial progression by BICR in patients with CNS metastases at baseline at 24 and 36 months (N=76)1

Data cutoff: 20 September 2021.1

Without CNS metastases

  • In patients without CNS metastases at baseline (N=220), the percentage of patients without CNS progression at 36 months was 99.1% with LORVIQUA and 49.8% with crizotinib (HR, 0.02; 95% CI, 0.002-0.136)1
  • In this population, Of 112 patients without baseline brain metastases, treated with LORVIQUA, only one patient developed new intracranial lesions.

Finding 3: Compelling CNS efficacy in patients with measurable CNS metastases at baseline (N=31)1,† Intracranial ORR (N=31)a

aIntracranial response was assessed by an independent committee using modified RECIST, version 1.1.2

  • Median IC-DoR: Not reached (95% Cl, NR-NR) with LORVIQUA vs 10 months (95% Cl, 9-11) with crizotinib1
  • Median duration of intracranial response with baseline brain metastases in months: NR (95% CI) (NR–NR) with LORVIQUA  vs 10·2 (9·4–11·1) with XALKORI 
  • Median duration of intracranial response with measurable and non measurable baseline brain metastases in months: NR (95% CI) (NR–NR) with LORVIQUA  vs 7·3 (3·7–9·3) with XALKORI 
*The primary endpoint of PFS was met in the CROWN trial primary analysis (median follow-up for PFS; 18.3 months for patients receiving LORVIQUA and 14.8 months for patients receiving crizotinib); median PFS was not estimable for the LORVIQUA arm.2 An unplanned follow-up analysis was performed at a median follow-up for PFS of approximately 37 months for patients on LORVIQUA (29 months for patients on crizotinib) to confirm the effect of LORVIQUA relative to crizotinib with longer follow up.†Unplanned analysis; no formal hypothesis testing was performed given that the PFS endpoint was previously met in the CROWN trial primary analysis; results are presented descriptively since the Type I error was already spent at the primary analysis.BICR=blinded independent central review; CNS=central nervous system; HR=hazard ratio; IC-DoR=intracranial duration of response; IC-ORR=intracranial objective response rate; ITT=intention to treat; RECIST=Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours.References:Solomon B, Bauer T, Mok T, et al.
