Causes of Rapid Evolution in Oncology Therapeutic Area Strategy Development

1) Realization that Resistance to Targeted Therapies Is a Fait Accompli

Dissecting Therapeutic Resistance to RAF Inhibition in Melanoma by Tumor Genomic Profiling Nikhil Wagle, Caroline Emery, Michael F. Berger, Matthew J. Davis, Allison Sawyer, Panisa Pochanard, Sarah M. Kehoe, Cory M. Johannessen, Laura E. MacConaill, William C. Hahn, Matthew Meyerson, and Levi A. Garraway

Causes of Rapid Evolution in Oncology Therapeutic Area Strategy Development:

2) Tumor Heterogeneity, “Genomic Chaos” and Frequent Mutation of Currently

Undruggable Targets

Branched Evolution Revealed by Multiregion

Sequencing, NEJM 366:883, 2012

11

Causes of Rapid Evolution in Oncology Therapeutic Area Strategy Development:

Prolonged and Deep Responses to the Combination of Ipilimumab and

Nivolumab in Melanoma

Objective responses occurred in 9 of 17 patients (53%; 95% CI, 28 to 77), including 3 with a complete response.

All 9 patients who had a response had tumor reduction of 80% or more at their first scheduled assessment

PDL1-

Phase 3 Study Results of Nivolumab plus

Ipilimumab combination in metastatic

melanoma

• Benefit of ipilumumab addition is

limited to patients with PDL1 negative

tumors

• Biomarkers will be needed to spare

patients unnecessary toxicity (55%

grade 3 or 4 AEs in combination group)

• ~50% of patients are refractory after

one year

Peering into the Crystal Ball

• Early combination data suggests that intervention at multiple

points in the Cancer Immunity Cycle will confer additional clinical

benefit to PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies

• Early results suggest that patients deriving benefit from addition of

one agent to an anti-PD1 or PD-L1 regimen may not be the same

as those deriving benefit from a different combination partner

• Results of Randomized Combination Studies with predictive

biomarkers for which patients benefit from specific combinations

are still a ways off.

• For some time it will remain unclear whether different agents

targeting the same point in the Cancer Immunity Cycle will be

interchangeable as part of a combination regimen with PD-1 or

PD-L1 antibodies

• Portfolios of IO agents and IO biomarker discovery capabilities will

be required to be a significant player

• Combination partners that target multiple points in the Cancer

Immunity Cycle may circumvent the need for personalized

combination regimens

• PD-1 or PD-L1 antibodies may need to be included as part of the

portfolio to preserve return on investment in combination partners
