From May 29–31, 2020, Vivek Subbiah presented at the ASCO 2020 Virtual Meeting "Efficacy and safety results of RET inhibitor pralsetinib (BLU-667) monotherapy in advanced solid tumor patients with RET fusion genes in the ARROW Phase 1/2 clinical trial."
The ARROW Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluated pralsetinib (BLU-667) 30–600 mg administered once or twice daily in advanced solid tumor patients with RET fusion genes. The primary endpoint was objective response rate.
Patients enrolled in this trial included: 16 patients with papillary carcinoma, 1 with anaplastic thyroid cancer, 3 with pancreatic cancer, 3 with colorectal cancer, and 6 with other cancer types.
Trial results for the primary endpoint objective response rate were: thyroid cancer group 75% (N=9/12), other cancer types (N=3/5). Median duration of response was: thyroid cancer group 14.5 months, other cancer types (N=2 patients: 11.5 months and 19.3 months respectively).
Regarding safety, adverse events confirmed in the majority of patients included: AST elevation 31%, anemia 22%, ALT elevation 21%, constipation 21%, and hypertension 20%. The treatment discontinuation rate due to adverse events was 4%.
Based on the ARROW trial results, Vivek Subbiah concluded: In advanced solid tumor patients with RET fusion genes, pralsetinib (BLU-667) monotherapy demonstrated favorable and durable antitumor activity not only in non-small cell lung cancer but also in other advanced solid tumors.
