CANOPY-1 Ph3 data support further evaluation of canakinumab
in lung cancer
CANOPY-1
■ Did not meet primary endpoints: OS and PFS in previously
untreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC1
Potentially clinically meaningful improvements in both
PFS and OS among pre-specified subgroups of patients
with inflammatory biomarkers; additional analyses ongoing1
■ Results support continued study of canakinumab in
earlier stages of lung cancer, further evaluation of
Pro-Tumor Inflammation in all lung cancer settings¹.
■ CANOPY-A study more closely reflect the CANTOS study
population vs. CANOPY-12,3,4. CANTOS the 1st study to
suggest that IL-1ẞ inhibition may play a role in lung cancer³
■ No unexpected safety signals when combined with
pembrolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy
Study
CANOPY-2
2/3 L NSCLC
CANOPY-1
1L NSCLC
CANOPY-A
Adjuvant
NSCLC
Patient population
Metastatic NSCLC
treatment failed.
Canakimumab with
docetaxel
Metastatic NSCLC,
treatment naive.
Canakimumab
combined with
pembrolizumab
Stage II-III NSCLC.
Canakimumab after
complete resection
and adjuvant
chemotherapy
CANTOS
Stable post MI with
elevated hsCRP >
2mg/L
Hypothesis
Reduce progression
of treatment
resistant tumors
Reduce progression
of treatment naive
tumors
Reduce
development of
tumors from micro-
metastatic disease.
Findings
Primary endpoint OS not met.
No benefit observed.
Primary endpoints of OS + PFS not
statistically significant.
Potentially clinically meaningful OS
+PFS improvements in pre-specified
subgroups (hs-CRP, other biomarker-
defined subgroups)
To be determined
Alter tumor
development in high
risk population
Dose-dependent reduction in
fatal/non-fatal lung cancer incidence
Developing other potential pro-tumor inflammation pathway inhibitors, which are at various stages of development, incl. gevokizumab5,6
See appendix for references NSCLC Non-small cell lung cancer OS - Overall survival PFS - Progression-free survival
