Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has been found to increase the risk/severity of immune-mediated adverse events with subsequent kinase inhibitor treatment in oncogenically driven cancers. We explored the risk for hypersensitivity with selpercatinib, a first-in-class highly selective and potent, central nervous system-active RET inhibitor, in prior ICI-treated patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC compared with their ICI-naive counterparts.Data from patients enrolled by December 16, 2019, in the ongoing phase 1/2 LIBRETTO-001 (NCT03157128) trial were analyzed for hypersensitivity reactions reported using preferred terms of hypersensitivity/drug hypersensitivity and defined as a constellation of symptoms/findings characterized by maculopapular rash, often preceded by fever with arthralgias/myalgias, followed by greater than or equal to 1 of the following signs/symptoms: thrombocytopenia, increased aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase, hypotension, tachycardia, or increased creatinine.Of 329 patients, 22 (7%) who experienced a grade 1 to 3 hypersensitivity reaction that met the defined constellation of events were attributed to selpercatinib by investigators, and more often in prior ICI-treated (n = 17, 77%) than ICI-naive (n = 5, 23%) patients. There were 19 patients with selpercatinib-related hypersensitivity who resumed selpercatinib post-hypersensitivity with dose modification/supportive care. Furthermore, 17 patients, of whom 14 received prior ICI therapy, were still on treatment at twice daily doses of 40 mg (n = 5), 80 mg (n = 4), 120 mg (n = 4), and 160 mg (n = 4).Rates of selpercatinib-related hypersensitivity were low overall and, as with other kinase inhibitors, occurred predominantly in prior ICI-treated patients. Hypersensitivity to selpercatinib can be managed with supportive care measures regardless of prior ICI status and is reversible. |
