Gastric cancer clinical presentation/RX

Abdominal pain, weight loss, obstruction, GI bleed

Limited disease (resectable without distant mets)

• Surgical resection of primary tumor and LN with perioperative chemotherapy and XRT

Locally advanced (unresectable)/metastatic

• Chemotherapy – differs by geographic region, - usual regimens: ECF, EOF, ECX, TC

• Biologic therapy (eg. Trastuzumab, Met inhibiting agents)

• Palliative surgery (e.g. bypass)

• Palliative radiotherapy

12

HER2 positive cancer

Breast cancer 20% HER2 positive• Trastuzumab with chemotherapy improves OS in adjuvant and metastatic settings

Gastric cancer 20% HER2 positive • Trastuzumab with chemotherapy improves OS in metastatic settings (ToGA)

HER2 positive rates may be slightly lower in Asian populations (19 vs. 15%)

Different guidelines for interpreting HER2+ in gastric vs. breast cancer• Breast cancer methods result in underscoring of HER2 in gastric ca

New HER2 targeted therapies• Lapatinib: oral TKI of HER1 and HER2 approved for met breast ca

• TYTAN trial in second line HER2+ (by FISH) GC lapatinib did not prolong OS• LOGiC trial in first line HER2+ GC

• Pertuzumab: IV monoclonal antibody targets HER2• T-DM1: IV antibody drug conjugate targets HER2

Evidence that pertuzumab + trastuzumab are more active than either agent alone

Pertuzumab has a different mechanism of action and a different binding site on the HER2 receptor than trastuzumab

Additive activity in pre-clinical animal models• Breast cancer• Gastric cancer

Activity seen in phase II/III studies in HER2 positive BC• BO17929 (phase II – 2nd line MBC)• NEOSPHERE (phase II – EBC)• CLEOPATRA (phase III – 1st line MBC)

Pertuzumab (Perjeta)

An IgG1 (k) humanized monoclonal antibody

Produced in CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell cultures

Targets the HER2 receptor extra-cellular domain (sub-domain II)

Pertuzumab and trastuzumabbind different epitopes on HER2

• Inhibits ligand-independent HER2 signalling• Prevents HER2 ECD shedding• Activates ADCC

• Inhibits ligand-dependent HER2 signalling• Inhibits HER2 hetero-dimerization • Activates ADCC• Non-competitive with trastuzumab

Rationale for a Phase III study of pertuzumab in HER2-positive gastric cancer

Preclinical data show that pertuzumab increased the activity of trastuzumab in HER2-positive gastric cancer xenograft models

HER2-positive gastric/GEJ cancer (ToGA): clinical evidence that HER2-targeted therapy extends survival

In HER2-positive mBC: CLEOPATRA study confirmed improved efficacy of combined HER2-directed therapy with docetaxel

Large safety database showing good tolerability across multiple indications , includes data with capecitabine and platinum

Plan → Phase III trial in advanced gastric/GEJ cancer.

• But what dose Pertuzumab in aGC ?

26

JOSHUA BP27836: Phase IIa study rationale

Determine pertuzumab dose in HER2 positive advanced GEJ/gastric cancer

Achieve PK clinical target for minimum pertuzumab concentration of 20 g/ml in >90% of patients

• Same clinical target concentration as in HER2-positive breast cancer

Move to Phase III with dose modeled from Phase IIa data

27

JOSHUA: Study design, Phase IIa trial

Estimate minimum (trough) serum pertuzumab concentration to identify a steady state of ≥20 g/ml in 90% of patientsSafety and tolerability

JACOB: Interim Analyses

Safety:Monthly review of AEs first six months

Regular safety monitoring reviews (approximately every 6 months)

Two formal interim safety analyses• After 50 patients have been enrolled and followed up for at least 2 months• After 100 patients have been enrolled and followed up for at least 4 months

Efficacy:One interim analysis of OS after 351 deaths have occurred

34

JACOB: Target Study Population

Approximately 780 patients with histologically confirmed metastatic GEJ/GC who have received no prior treatment for metastatic disease• Measurable or non-measurable evaluable (RECIST 1.1)

• ECOG PS 0 or 1

• Baseline LVEF ≥ 55% (MUGA or echocardiogram)

• Life expectancy ≥ 3 months

HER2 positive (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+) tumor by central laboratory testing

35

Definition of HER2 positivity in JACOB

HER2 positivity isdefined as:

IHC 3+ (regardless of ISH results)

IHC 2+ if confirmed by a positive ISH result (cut-off for ISH ratio: 2.0 HER2/CEP17)

For IHC testing, the cut-off as approved by FDA in context of ToGA will apply

36

Tissue requirements for HER2 central assessment

Tumor blocks preferred (submission of slides should be an exception!) Cutting at central lab ensures higher quality and higher level of

standardization and saves tissue!

If blocks not available a minimum of 15 unstained and freshly cut slides can be submitted for HER2 testing and exploratory Biomarker analyses (maximum 48hrs from slicing to shipment)Biopsy or surgical specimen of either primary or recurrent/metastatic tumor are allowed for HER2 assessment • For biopsies, ideally 6 to 8 biopsies taken from different metastatic

lesions should be submitted and assessed• Fine needle aspirates CANNOT be accepted

The fixative allowed is neutral buffered formalin (10%)

Dose Modifications for pertuzumab and trastuzumab

No dose reduction permitted for toxicity, for either pertuzumab or trastuzumab

Treatment with either pertuzumab or trastuzumab (or both) may be delayed to assess or treat AEs• Dosing should be resumed as soon as appropriate after the AE has

improved (see protocol section 4.3.1.4.1)• Patients should be re-assessed at least weekly to determine if

treatment can be resumed

If trastuzumab dosing is delayed and ≥ 6 weeks have elapsed since the last dose, a re-loading dose of 8 mg/kg should be given as the next dose, then resume the 6 mg/kg Q3W dosing schedule• Pertuzumab, capecitabine, and cisplatin dosing should be

re-synchronized to the new schedule

50

If recovery has not occurred after a delay of 3 weeks (i.e., 6 weeks since previous chemotherapy doses), the patient should be permanently discontinued from fluoropyrimidine and cisplatin.

Cardiac Safety Monitoring

HER2 directed therapy has been implicated in cardiac toxicity• Pertuzumab and trastuzumab cardiac safety must be monitored

• Currently, there is no evidence for increased cardiac toxicity with pertuzumab-containing combination regimens

Regularly scheduled ECG and LVEF assessments are mandatory• Every 9 weeks while on chemotherapy treatment

• Every 12 weeks while on antibody alone treatment

• Every 6 months for 1 year after stopping study drug

• Then annually during survival follow up for up to 5 years

LVSD Dysfunction eCRF

If a patient has a decrease in LVEF by ≥10 percentage points from baseline to an absolute value below 50% recorded in the LVEF assessment CRF, the Principal Investigator will then complete the following CRF:

Does the subject have difficulty breathing?

If yes, select all that apply:

While climbing less than 8 stair steps

While getting dressed

At rest

While lying flat

Other

Does the subject have any clinical signs that may be due to heart failure?

If yes, select all that apply:

Bilateral ankle edema

Pulmonary rales

Weight gain

Jugular venous distention

Other

58

Tumor Assessments

Measurable or non-measurable evaluable tumor (RECIST 1.1)

Baseline assessment at screening, then after every 9 weeks until progressive disease (PD) is documented

Measurable disease should be imaged using CT or MRI – use the same method throughout the study for a given patient

Report measurements of target and non-target lesions for measurable disease (per RECIST)

Report objective response (CR/PR, SD, PD) for both measurable and non-measurable evaluable disease• If PD occurs off cycle, an unscheduled Tumor Assessment

should be performed

Recruitment Challenge: High Screen Failure Rate

It is assumed that screening ineligibility rate may be ~85%

Primarily driven by requirement for HER2 positivity • ~ 22% of patients with advanced gastric cancer are HER2+

But… it’s not impossible: ToGA trial recruited successfully with a ~80% screen failure rate

Improve overall screening rates by implementing process of pre-identifying and pre-screening patients • This will help reduce screening failure rate not related to HER2

positivity• If local pre-screening HER2 result is borderline or equivocal, please still

send for central HER2 testing

Reviewing pre-screening information will help identify why potentially eligible patients are not considered for screening

64

Synergy with MetGastric study

JACOB study accepts HER2 test result from Targos and vice versa

In those MetGastric and JACOB overlapping sites (25%), screen for MetGastric study first

Where patient screened in MetGastric study has HER2 positive status:• Obtain Informed Consent for JACOB• Investigator/study nurse registers MetGastric study patient screen

number in the JACOB’s IXRS screening module• Send results transfer form with detailed patient information to Targos

→ Tissue sample will be transferred within Targos

If site is not a JACOB/MetGastric overlapping site, a referral network is recommended

65

Role and responsibility of CRC (Cardiac Review Committee)

CRC Patients with potential cardiac events (e.g. symptomatic LVSD) per investigator assessment will be reviewed by independent external Cardiac Review Committee (CRC)• CRC provides independent blinded central determination of symptomatic

declines in LVEF and definite and probable cardiac deaths for reporting to IDMC

CRCC (Duke Clinical Research Institution) is the vendor who will: Raise queries using RAVE (10 day turnaround)Request/collect source documents via emailEnsure relevant variables are cleanPrepare event packetsRecord CRC adjudicationsCoordinate CRC adjudication meetings

66

Potential source documents to be collected

Physician progress or consultation notes

Discharge summary

ECG tracing and report

ECHO/MUGA/cardiac MRI report

Chest X-ray report

Any other documents that CRCC deems necessary for case adjudication, e.g. cardiac catheterization report
