`The Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee of the Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation
`and Research met on December 16, 2009 at the Hilton Washington DC North/Gaithersburg, The Ballrooms, 620
`Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Prior to the meeting, members and invited consultants were provided
`copies of the background material from the FDA andthe sponsor. The meeting wascalled to order by
`Wyndham Wilson, M.D. (Acting Committee Chair); the conflict of interest statement was read into the record
`by Nicole Vesely, Pharm.D. (Designated Federal Official). There were approximately 200 personsin
`attendance. There were three speakers for the Open Public Hearing session.
`
`Issue: On December 16, 2009, during the morning session, the committee met to discuss supplemental new
`drug application (SNDA) 021-743/S-016, TARCEVA(erlotinib) tablets, by OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The
`proposedindication (use) for this productis first-line maintenance, monotherapy(first-choice, single drug)
`treatment in patients with a form of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)thatis either
`locally advanced(has spread regionally within the lung and/or within chest lymph nodes) or metastatic (has
`spread beyondthe lung), and who havenotprogressed (including those patients with stable disease) on first-line
`treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy (a regimen including a platinum drug(cisplatin or carboplatin)
`plus another chemotherapy drug).

`Question to the Committee:
`
`Thefull question is included after the vote below for completeness.
`
`Question (VOTE)
`
`* The study was not optimally designed to demonstrate that maintenance therapy with erlotinib after
`
`initial chemotherapyis better than therapy with erlotinib at disease progression
`
`* Results of the study demonstrated a modest improvement in OS.
`
`VOTE: Based onthese results, should Erlotinib be approved for the proposed indication?
`
`PROPOSED INDICATION
`
`“Tarceva monotherapyis indicated asfirst-line maintenance treatment in patients with locally advanced or
`metastatic NSCLC who havenot progressed (including stable disease) on first-line treatment with platinum-
`based chemotherapy.”
`
`Vote:
`
`Yes=1
`
`No=12
`
`Abstain = 0
`
`¢ Members hadissues that there was only onetrial with a marginalfavorable survival
`
`improvement andfelt that this study had design flaws andlimitations because patients in the
`control arm were not offered Tarceva at disease progression.

`
`¢ Members had difficulty determining whether maintenance treatment was as good as treatment at
`relapse based on the data presented.
`
`¢ Members agreed that the overall survival benefit was modest with most questioning whetherthis
`
`simply reflected access to Tarceva in the treatment arm. It was mentionedthat with other
`products currently on the marketthat the barforfuture products for review is higher.
`
`¢ It was noted that the study had a modest overall survival.
`
`¢ It was felt that the subgroupsthat would benefitfrom maintenance therapy neededto be studied
`
`further and defined. Some members questioned the use of Tarceva in patients who were EGFR
`(IH©) negative and those patients with squamouscell carcinoma.
`
`Please see the transcriptfor detailed discussion.
`
`The meeting adjourned @ approximately 2:30 p.m.

`
`Onerandomizedtrial is submitted, comparing Erlotinib with Placebo (randomized 1:1) as maintenance
`treatment in 889 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whohavenotprogressed after 4
`cycles offirst-line treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were stratified prior to
`randomization, using the adaptive method of Pocock and Simon,to ensure balance between treatment
`groups for EGFRprotein expression by IHC (EGFRPositive versus EGFR Negative versus EGFR
`Undetermined); Stage of disease at start of chemotherapy(IIIb versus IV); ECOG PS (0 versus1);
`Chemotherapy regimen (gemcitabine pluscisplatin versus carboplatin plus docetaxel versus other);
`Smokingstatus (current smoker[includes patients who had stopped smoking within a year] versus former
`smoker versus never smoked); and Region (North America, South America, Western Europe, Eastern
`Europe, South East Asia and Africa). All patients were required to provide a tumor sample for analysis of
`EGFRprotein expression by IHC. Treatment was continued until progression, death or unacceptable
`toxicity.
`
`The protocol specified co- primary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS)in all patients and PFS in
`the EGFR (IHC)Positive subgroup. At a Special Protocol Assessment on 4/20/05 the FDA indicated that
`“To demonstrate the value of maintenance targeted therapy superiority of survival will have to be
`demonstrated”. The study was conductedentirely outside of the United States.
`
`Erlotinib is superior to Placebo for both co-primary endpoints, i.e., PFS in all patients and PFS in the EGFR
`(IHC)Positive subgroup. Using the protocol-specified unadjusted Log Rank Test, Erlonitib is also superior
`to Placebo for overall survival (OS) in all patients and in the EGFR (IHC)Positive subgroup. Using the
`Stratified Log Rank Test, Erlotinib is not superior to Placebo for OS.
`
`A confirmatory OSanalysis was performed, censoring at the date of first open-label Erlotinib or second or
`further line Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) treatment. The HRin this analysis is 0.80 versus 0.81 in ITT
`analysis. The LR in this analysis is p=0.0087 versus p=0.0088 in the ITT analysis.
`
`PFS and OSresults are shown in Table 1.

`
`Main Issue
`
`The main issue concernsother available treatment options for patients in this randomizedtrial. Both single
`agent Erlotinib and Docetaxel are approved for treatment of NSCLCafter failure of prior chemotherapy.
`Erlotinib and Docetaxel havea statistically significant improvement in median survival over Placebo of 2-3
`monthsin this setting, compared to a 1 month improvement in median survivalin the Erlotinib versus
`Placebo maintenancetrial (See Table 2). In both the Erlotinib and Docetaxeltrials after failure of prior
`chemotherapy, the treated population is more difficult than in the Erlotinib maintenancetrial. This is
`because the population includes both responders and non-respondersto initial chemotherapy, while the
`Erlotinib maintenancetrial includes only respondersorstable disease. In addition, Pemetrexed wasrecently
`approved for maintenance therapy of non-squamouscell NSCLC in patients who did not progress on
`platinum-basedinitial chemotherapy based on a 5 month improvementin median survival (See Table 5).
`This raises the question whether treatment with single agent Erlotinib or Docetaxel after progression or
`Pemetrexed maintenancetherapyare better options than treatment with Erlotinib as maintenance.

`Other Issues
`
`Although Erlonitib is superior to Placebo in the maintenancestudy, the findings in some subgroups may be
`issues for the wording of any approvedindication or other sections in the packageinsert. Thefirst issue is
`that the OS HR in the EGFR (IHC) Negative subgroupis 0.91. Notably in the Erlotinib advanced NSCLC
`trial after failure of at least one prior chemotherapy regimen, the OS HRof Erlonitib versus Placebo was
`1.01 in the EGFR (IHC) Negative subgroup (See Table 3). Thus Erlonitib appears to have at best a weak OS
`effect in this subgroup. This raises the question whether the EGFR (ICH) Negative subgroup should be
`included in any approval.

`
`The secondissueis that in the squamouscell subgroup of the Erlotinib maintenancetrial the Erlonitib
`effect on OS is very modest with median OS Erlotinib 11.3 months and Placebo 11.1 months, HR 0.86
`(0.68,1.10), p=0.2369. Pemetrexedis the only drug approved for maintenance treatment of patients with
`locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease has not progressed after 4 cycles of platinum-based
`first-line chemotherapy. Pemetrexed is approved for maintenanceonly in the non-squamouscell subgroup
`(Approved 7/2/09). In the trial with all histological subgroups the median OS wasPlacebo 10.6 months and
`Pemetrexed 13.4 months, HR=0.79 (0.65, 0.95), LR p=0.012. In the squamouscell subgroup median OS
`was Placebo 10.8 months and Pemetrexed 9.9 months, HR 1.07 (0.77,1.50), LR p=0.23 (See Table 4). This
`raises the question whether the squamouscell subgroup should be included in any approval. However, when
`Erlotinib was compared with Placebo after NSCLC progression on prior chemotherapy,in the squamous
`cell subgroup the HR=0.67 (0.5-0.9) favoring Erlotinib.

`
`Thethird issue is that although Erlotinib has a large improvement in PFS (HR=0.10) in the EGFR
`Mutation Positive subgroup,this is not reflected in OS (HR=1.01) (See Table 6). This disparity may be
`partly accountedfor by the lack of mature survival data in the EGFR Mutation Positive subgroup (55%
`dead) becauseof the longer survival in this subgroup. However, it seems unlikely the results will change
`greatly with more events.
`
`The Applicantattributes the lack of an Erlotinib OS effect to subsequent systemic therapy at progression.
`After progression any subsequent systemic therapy was given to 89% of patients in the Placebo group and
`73% of patients in the Erlotinib group. After progression TKI therapy was given to 70% ofpatients in the
`Placebo group and 27% ofpatients in the Erlotinib group.
`
`The Applicant’s argument that in the EGFR Mutation + subgroup, OSin the Placebo groupis prolongedto
`equal OS in the Erlotinib group by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor treatment at progression contradicts the
`Applicant’s claim that Erlotinib maintenancehasclinical benefit.

`
`The EGFR Mutation Positive subgroup is a small minority of NSCLC patients in this study. Only 11% of
`patients with known EGFR Mutation status were EGFR Mutation Positive. Additional follow-up is needed
`in this subgroup.
`
`The fourth issueis that in the Erlotinib trial in patients with advanced NSCLCafter failure of at least one
`prior chemotherapy regimen, 47% ofthe patients with known EGFR (IHC) status were EGFR (IHC)
`Negative. However, in the Erlotinib maintenancetrial only 16% of patients with known EGFR (IHC)status
`were EGFR (IHC) Negative. This apparent discrepancy is concerning. We can not have personalized
`therapyif the tests are notreliable.
`
`Bevacizumabis approvedfor treatment of locally advanced, metastatic or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC
`in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for 6 cycles and Bevacizumabcontinuesalone after 6 cycles
`until progression or unacceptable toxicity (approved 10/11/06). There was no randomizationatthestart of
`the maintenance phase,so there are no data supporting Bevacizumab for maintenance therapy.
