Osimertinib is an effective therapy in EGFR mutant NSCLC, but resistance invariably develops. Navitoclax is an oral inhibitor of BCL-2/BCL-xL that has exhibited synergy with osimertinib in preclinical models of EGFR-mutant NSCLC. In hematologic malignancies, BCL-2 family inhibitors in combination therapy effectively increase cellular apoptosis and decrease drug resistance. This single arm phase IB study evaluated safety, tolerability and feasibility of osimertinib and navitoclax, including dose expansion in T790M+ patients at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Eligible pts had advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC with prior TKI exposure. Five dose levels (DL) were planned with osimertinib from 40 – 80 mg PO daily and navitoclax from 150 – 325 mg PO daily. A total of 27 pts were enrolled (18 dose escalation, 9 expansion): median age 65, 67% female, 48% exon 19 del and 37% L858R, median 1 prior line of therapy. The most common adverse events were lymphopenia (37%), fatigue (22%), nausea (22%), and thrombocytopenia (37%). No DLTs were seen in dose escalation; osimertinib 80 mg, navitoclax 150 mg was chosen as the RP2D. Most patients (78%) received >95% of planned doses through 3 cycles. In expansion cohort, objective response rate (ORR) was 100% and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 16.8 months. A pro-apoptotic effect from navitoclax was demonstrated by early-onset thrombocytopenia. Oral combination therapy with navitoclax and osimertinib was safe and feasible at RP2D with clinical efficacy. Early thrombocytopenia was common, supporting an target engagement by navitoclax. Further study of BCL-2/BCL-xL inhibition to enhance osimertinib activity is warranted.
