In a post-hoc analysis of 40 patients, Lumakras achieved a 77.5% disease control rate (DCR), similar to patients without brain metastases.
A median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.3 months and median overall survival (OS) of 8.3 months were observed.
In patients evaluable by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) criteria, 14 of 16 patients (88%) maintained intracranial disease control of their stable brain lesions during Lumakras therapy with two achieving complete responses of non-target lesions.
The safety profile of Lumakras in the brain metastases group was consistent with previous reports.
Amgen is enrolling patients with active brain metastases in an arm of the CodeBreaK 101 study.
Price Action: AMGN stock is down 0.41% at $219.97 during the premarket session on the last check Thursday.
