1 Cancer Therapy Update in 2017 Editor: Le Wang, M.D., Ph.D Medical Oncology and Hematology (Board-Certified) Ibrutinib (Imbruvica) Pharmacyclics 1 /19/2017 Lymphoma Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), Relapsed/Refractory Approved for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) who have received at least one prior anti CD20-based therapy. Dosing: Ibrutinib, 500mg, PO, daily Marginal zone lymphoma accounts for approximately 12% of non-hodgkin lymphoma in adults, including three subtypes: mucosa-associated, nodal, and splenic marginal zone lymphoma. The approval covers all three subtypes of marginal zone lymphoma. The overall response rate was 46%, in which 3.2% had complete response and 42.9% had a partial response.. The median time to response was 4.5 months and the median duration of the response was not yet reached at the time of this approval. Previously, the Ibrutinib was approved for chronic lymphocytic leukemia with 17p deletion, mantle cell lymphoma and waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Tel: ; Fax: Page 1 of 28
2 Nivolumab (Opdivo) Bristol-Myers Squibb 2 /2 /2017 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Urothelial carcinoma, locally advanced or metastatic Approved for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer) who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum - containing chemotherapy. Dosing: Nivolumab 240 mg, IV over 60 minutes every two weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Bladder cancer is the fifth most diagnosed cancer. The majority of bladder cancers are diagnosed at an early stage, but approximately 50-70% of patients will experience a recurrence within five years after the first line therapy. Therefore, the poor durability of the response after the initial therapy as well as lack of effective second line therapy present a major challenge in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic disease. Treatment with Opdivo resulted in an approximately 20% overal response across all levels of PD-L1 expression ( 1% vs. <1%). Tel: ; Fax: Page 2 of 28
3 Lenalidomide (Revlimid) Celgene 2 /22/2017 Plasma Cell Disorders Multiple myeloma Revlimid 10-mg capsules approved for patients with multiple myeloma as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant. Dosing: Lenalidomide, 10mg, daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Autologous stem cell transplantation after induction therapy remains the integral part of the standard care for transplant eligible multiple myeloma. However, most patients will still see their disease recurrence or progression after the transplant. Lenalidomide maintenance therapy prolongs disease-recurrence free survival after autologous stem cell from 1.9 years to 5.7 years. Ribociclib (Kisqali) Novartis 3 /13/2017 Breast Cancer Breast Cancer, ER/PR-positive, Her2-negative Approved in combination with aromatase inhibitor as an initial endocrinebased therapy for the treatment of postmenopausal woman with advanced or metastatic hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Dosing: Ribociclib, 600mg, po, daily, 3 weeks, 1 week off, with four weeks of any aromatase inhibitor. This is the second CDK 4/6 inhibitor approved for postmenopausal woman with ER/PR-positive and Her2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Ribociclib plus letrozole reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 44% compared to letrozole alone. More than half of the patient's taking the combination had experienced tumor burden reduction by at least 30%. This combination is now a new standard care for initial treatment of HR-positive advanced breast cancer. Tel: ; Fax: Page 3 of 28
4 Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) Merck 3 /15/2017 Lymphoma Hodgkin's lymphoma, refractory Approved for the treatment of adults with refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and for those who have relapsed after three or more prior lines of therapy. Dosing: Keytruda, 200 mg, every three weeks acute disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The approval also includes patient who had received autologous stem cell transplantation or had received Adcetris (brentuximab vedotin). The overall response rate (ORR) with Keytruda was 69%, including complete responses in 22% of patients and partial responses in 47% of patients. The median duration of response was 11.1 months. Avelumab (Bavencio) Pfizer Inc 3 /23/2017 Skin Cancers Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), metastatic Approved for the treatment of patients 12 years and older with metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma, including those who have not received prior chemotherapy. Dosing: Avelumab, 10 mg/kg, IV, every 2 weeks. Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and the most aggressive form of skin cancer. The mortality rate is very high with fewer than half of patients survived more than one year. Avelumab blocks the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and is the first immuno checkpoint inhibitor approved for the treatment of this type of cancer. 11% of patients experienced a complete response and 33% experienced partial response. The response lasted for more than 6 months in 86% of responders and more than 12 months in 45% of responders. Tel: ; Fax: Page 4 of 28
5 Niraparib (Zejula) Tesaro, Inc 3 /27/2017 Gynecological (GYN) Cancers Ovarian cancers, recurrent Approved for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who have achieved complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Dosing: niraparib, 300 mg orally daily Niraparib is an oral poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that blocks enzymes involved in the repair of the damaged DNA. In the presence of PARP inhibition, the damaged DNA in cancer cells (not in normal cells) is unable to be repaired, therefore leading to the death or inhibition of cancer cells. Niraparib is approved for this indication regardless of the tumor's BRCA status. However, in the patients with BRCA mutation, the median PFS with niraparib was 21 months compared with 5.5 months with placebos (HR of 0.27), whereas in the patients without BRCA mutation, the median PFS was 9.3 months with niraparib and 3.9 months with placebo (HR of 0.45).

6 Palbociclib (Ibrance) Pfizer Inc 3 /31/2017 Breast Cancer Breast cancer, ER/PR-positive, Her2-negative Approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic hormone receptorpositive, Her2-negative breast cancer in combination with any aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine based therapy in postmenopausal women. Dosing: Palbociclib 125 mg, orally daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 days off, in combination with Letrozole 2.5 mg orally daily. Ibrance was initially approved in February 2015 in combination with letrozole for the treatment of ER positive and HER2-negative advanced breast cancer for postmenopausal woman as a new standard of initial therapy. This approval extends the use of any aromatase inhibitor including Letrozole and Anastrozole in combination with Ibrance for this indication. In February 2016, FDA also granted the use of Ibrance with Letrozol as a second line treatment for ER positive and Her2 negative advanced breast cancer. Atezolizumab (Tecentriq) Genentech, Inc 4 /17/2017 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Bladder cancer, advanced Approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic bladder cancer as initial therapy in patients who are not eligible for cisplatin chemotherapy. Dosing: Atezolizumab, 1200 mg, IV, every 21-day cycle Atezolizumab is PD-L1 inhibitor and was initially approved for the treatment of the advanced refractory bladder cancer in May 2016 in patients who had received platinumbased chemotherapy. The new approval grants its use in frail patients who otherwise do not have good treatment options. In this group of patients, the overall response rate was 23.5%, in which 6.7% had a complete response and 16.8% had a partial response. Tel: ; Fax: Page 6 of 28
7 Regorafinib (Stivaga) Bayer 4 /27/2017 Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), refractory Approved for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have previous treated with drugs sorafenib. Dosing: Regorafenib, 160 mg, PO, daily This is the first FDA approved treatment for almost a decade to treat hepatocellular carcinoma as a second line after sorafenib. Regorafinib is a kinase inhibitor that works by blocking several enzymes that promote cancer growth. It is the first and only treatment to demonstrate significant improvement in overall survival in second-line HCC patients. Midostaurin (Rydapt) Novartis 4 /28/2017 Leukemia Acute myeloid leukemia, FLT3 mutation Approved for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia who have FLT3 mutation as detected by an FDA approved test, in combination with standard cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consultation. Dosing: Midostaurin, 50 mg PO BID (~q12hr) on Days 8-21 of each cycle of induction with cytarabine and daunorubicin and on Days 8-21 of each cycle of consolidation with high-dose cytarabine. This new approval establishes a new standard care for high risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Approximately one third of acute myeloid leukemia patients have FLT3 gene mutation which often result in faster disease progression, higher relapse rate and lower rates of survival compared to other forms of acute myeloid leukemia. The clinical trial demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival with 23% reduction in the risk of death (HR 0.77). Tel: ; Fax: Page 7 of 28
8 Brigatinib (Alunbrig) Takeda Pharmaceutical 4 /28/2017 Lung Cancers Non-small cell lung cancers, ALK-positive Approved for the treatment of patients with metastasis ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer who have progressed on or are intolerant to crizotinib. Dosing: ALUNBRIG, 90 mg, PO, daily for the first 7 days. If 90 mg is tolerated during the first 7 days, then increase the dose to 180 mg orally once daily. Brigatinib is one of the small molecule ALK inhibitors. It overcomes mechanism of chemical resistance to crizotinib including progression in the central nervous system. The overall response rate was approximately 50%. The median duration of response was 13.8 months. For patients who had measurable brain metastasis, the intracranial overall response rate ranged from 42% to 67%. Durvalumab (Imfinzi) AstraZeneca 5 /1 /2017 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Urothelial carcinoma, advanced or metastatic Approved for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer) who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or who have disease progression within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinumcontaining chemotherapy. Dosing: Durvalumab, 10 mg/kg, IV, every two weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Durvalumab is a PD-L1 inhibitor. Testing for PD-L1 expression on tumor cells, however, is not required for use of this drug. The overall objective response rate was 17% in all patients. In patients with high PD-L1 expression, the objective response rate was 26.3%. In patients with low/negative PD-L1 expression, the response rate was 4.1%. Tel: ; Fax: Page 8 of 28
9 Avelumab (Bavencio) Pfizer Inc 5 /9 /2017 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Urothelial carcinoma, advanced or metastatic Approved for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma whose disease progressed during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinumcontaining chemotherapy.

10 Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) Merck 5 /10/2017 Lung Cancers Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, untreated metastatic Pembrolizumab in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin for the treatment of patients with previously untreated non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Dosing: Pembrolizumab, 200 mg, IV, every 3 weeks, in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin (PC) for 4 cycles followed by pembrolizumab for a maximum of 24 months. This is a practice changing milestone. Pembrolizumab is the first PD-L1 inhibitor approved in the first line setting in combination with chemotherapy for patients with metastatic non-squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer irrespective of PD-L1 expression level. The overall response rate was 55% in patients who received Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus 29% in those who received chemotherapy alone. The median progression free survival was 13 months with Pembrolizumab versus 8.9 months for chemotherapy alone (HR of 0.53). Previously, Pembrolizumab was approved in the first line setting as a single agent over chemotherapy when PD-L1 expression on tumor cells is above 50%. Tel: ; Fax: Page 10 of 28
11 Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) Merck 5 /18/2017 Genitourinary (GU) Cancers Urothelial carcinoma, metastatic Approved for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy or within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment with platinum-containing chemotherapy.
