SummaryTAS0728 is an oral covalent binding inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). A first-in-human open-label, dose-escalation, phase I study (NCT03410927) was initiated to investigate the safety and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose of TAS0728 in adults with advanced solid tumors with HER2 or HER3 overexpression, amplification or mutation. In total, 19 patients received TAS0728 at escalating doses from 50 to 200 mg BID for 21-day cycles. Following escalation of the dose to 200 mg BID, a total of two DLTs were observed, both cases of Grade 3 diarrhea (lasting >48 h and not responsive to aggressive antidiarrheal treatment). Following de-escalation of the dose to 150 mg BID, another DLT of Grade 3 diarrhea was observed in one patient. Additionally, at 150 mg BID, one patient had a fatal cardiac arrest after receiving 1 cycle (21 days) of TAS0728. The etiology of the cardiac arrest event was not clear, however causal relationship to TAS0728 could not be excluded due to the temporal association observed. Partial responses were observed in 2 of 14 patients evaluable for TAS0728 treatment response. The study was stopped due to unacceptable toxicity during the dose-escalation as the overall risk-benefit ratio no longer favored the dose level being tested, therefore the MTD was not determined. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03410927; registered on January 25, 2018.

3015 Background: BPM 31510 is a novel small molecule that targets the metabolic machinery of the cancer microenvironment to reverse the aerobic glycolytic phenotype of cancer cells. Effector downstream signaling results in re-capitulation of BCL-2 mediated apoptosis and disruption in tumor vasculature by modulation of VEGF. (NR Narain et al., Proceedings of AACR Meeting Abstracts 2011). Methods: A standard 3+3 phase I, dose-escalation study design was used in patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard treatment. Primary objectives were establishment of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety/pharmacokinetic (PK) correlates. Secondary objectives included exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary efficacy (RECIST-1.1) of BPM 31510 in sequential cohorts of 3 to 6 pts. Results: At time of submission, 34 patients with advanced cancer who had failed multiple chemotherapeutic regimens had been enrolled in 7 dose cohorts (ranging from 5.6 mg/kg to 78.2 mg/kg). Patients received a median of 2 cycles (1-7). 2 patients have had grade 3 elevation in PT/INR, otherwise there have been no grade 3/4 treatment related toxicities to date. The pharmacokinetics of BPM 31510 are linear and there were no sex differences in the parameters normalized by dose and body surface area. Tmax and Cmax are associated with the end of the infusion. The values for t1/2 ranged from 2.18 to 13.3 hr, with little or no dependence of t1/2 on dose. Objective tumor responses have been noted at the dose of 58.6mg/kg with 1 partial response (myxoid liposarcoma) and 1 minor response (pleomorphic sarcoma). Six patients (19%) have had disease stabilization (> 4 months). Conclusions: Interim data from this phase I study indicate that BPM 31510 is well tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities to date. A partial response and minor response were observed and correlates with dose escalation. Taken together, there is strong rationale for further clinical development of this compound as an anti-cancer agent.

2578 Background: CZ48, the 20-O-propionate ester of camptothecin (CPT), is a prodrug of CPT first described by Cao et al. in 1998. The side-chain is enzymatically cleaved in tissues. This gives rise to CPT, a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I. Methods: An open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation Phase I study was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CZ48 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Initial dosing started qd po 80mg/m2, advancing to 2560mg/m2 for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 days rest. Dosing was restarted in cohorts of 3 patients tid po at 18mg/m2 and escalated to 1g/m2on a 5 days on, 2 days off schedule for 28 days. Patients were prescreened by measuring CPT levels in plasma following a single pilot dose of CZ48. Dose was doubled until occurrence of at least Grade 2 adverse event, at which time 3+3 patient cohorts with a dose escalation of 33%-100% were implemented. DLT in 2/6 patients defined the MTD as the preceding DLT dose. PK parameters were measured prior to dosing, days 1-5, and day 28 of Cycle 1. Results: Poor absorption led to initial qd dosing reaching 2560mg/m2 with no signs of DLT. Subsequent tid dosing showed improved plasma levels and arrival at DLT. 34 patients were treated across 8 dose levels from 18 to 1000 mg/m2. The most frequent study-related adverse effects were cystitis, vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue. Grade IV toxicities observed were febrile neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Preliminary PK data in the qd dosing showed poor correlation between dose and Cmax or AUC, while PK in tid patients showed slightly improved correlation between dose and both CZ48 AUC (Pearson's correlation coefficient ϱ=0.476, p<0.01) and CZ48 Cmax(ϱ =0.51, p<0.01). Evidence of clinical activity with stable disease ≥ 6 months was observed in 2 heavily pre-treated colon and one breast cancer patient. Conclusions: The MTD of tid po CZ48 administered 5 days on, 2 days off of 28-day cycle is between 750 mg/m2 and 576 mg/m2. Overall toxicity is relatively mild, with DLT being cystitis and myelosuppression. Even with tid dosing, PK values correlate poorly to dose. A new formulation with 3-5 fold higher preclinical absorption values is being considered for introduction into the trial. Clinical trial information: NCT00947739.

2544 Background: C-Met protein is a receptor tyrosine kinase which is overexpressed or mutated in a variety of tumor types, causing cell proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Tivantinib is an orally bioavailable small molecule which binds to the c-Met protein. This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tivantinib in combination with standard dose FOLFOX for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Patients with advanced solid tumors for which FOLFOX (5-FU IV 400 mg/m2 day 1; 5-FU CIV 2400 mg/m2 day 1; Leucovorin IV 400 mg/m2 day 1; Oxaliplatin IV 85 mg/m2 day 1) would be appropriate chemotherapy received escalating doses of tivantinib BID (days 1-14) in a standard 3 + 3 design. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), non-dose-limiting toxicities (NDLTs), safety, and preliminary efficacy were evaluated. Results: Fourteen patients (50% colorectal) were treated across 3 dose levels: 120 mg (n=3); 240 mg (n=5); 360 mg (n=6). No DLTs were observed until the 3rd dose level (treatment delay ≥3 days, secondary to grade 3 neutropenia). Common related adverse events (% grade 1/2; % grade 3/4) included: diarrhea (36%; 0%), neutropenia (0%; 29%), nausea (14%; 14%), vomiting (14%; 14%), dehydration (14%; 7%), and thrombocytopenia (14%; 0%). To date, 7 patients have been evaluated for response including 4 (57%) with stable disease evident at the 8-week evaluation (CRC, 2 patients; unknown primary favoring CRC, 1 patient; esophageal, 1 patient) and 3 (21%) with disease progression. The 4 patients with stable disease are continuing on treatment; three (CRC and unknown primary) had received prior FOLFOX. Conclusions: The addition of tivantinib to standard therapy FOLFOX appears tolerated up to its recommended phase II monotherapy dose of 360 mg. Preliminary efficacy is encouraging, and a phase II study is proceeding with this regimen for the first line treatment of advanced gastroesophageal patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01611857.

475 Background: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone involved in the maintenance and function of client proteins, many of which are integral to key oncogenic processes. AUY922 is a competitive inhibitor of HSP90, with demonstrated activity in a variety of preclinical models. Further preclinical evidence suggests potential synergy between inhibition of HSP90 and fluorouracil treatment (Burkitt et al. 2007). This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AUY922 in combination with standard dose of capecitabine as treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Patients with refractory solid tumors for which capecitabine was an appropriate therapy received AUY922 with capecitabine in a standard 3+3 dose escalation. Capecitabine 1000mg/m2 was administered twice daily for days 1-14 of 21-day cycles, with escalating doses of AUY922 administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 8, and 15; the 6th dose level combined the MTD of AUY922 with capecitabine 1250mg/m2. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), safety, and efficacy were evaluated. Results: 23 patients were treated at 6 dose levels: 22mg/m2 (n = 3); 28mg/m2 (n = 3); 40mg/m2 (n = 3); 55mg/m2 (n = 5); 70mg/m2 (n = 3); 70mg/m2 with capecitabine 1250mg/m2 (n = 6). There were no DLTs observed until the 6th dose level (grade 3 diarrhea). Common adverse events (all grades) included: diarrhea (61%), nausea (57%), fatigue (43%), hand-foot skin reaction (39%), anorexia (39%), vomiting (35%), rash (30%), and darkening vision (22%). Myelosuppression was uncommon, with no instances of grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia, and only 2 patients (9%) with grade 3/4 neutropenia (1 patient each). Of the 19 patients evaluable for response per RECIST 1.1, unconfirmed partial response (PR) was noted in 3 patients (13%; colorectal, 1; breast, 1; stomach, 1), with 1 additional confirmed PR (4%; colorectal); two of these had progressed on prior fluorouracil. Stable disease was noted in 8 patients (35%). Conclusions: The addition of AUY922 to standard dose capecitabine was well-tolerated at doses of up to 70mg/m2. Preliminary efficacy is encouraging, and warrants further investigation of this regimen. Clinical trial information: NCT01226732.

6047 Background: SC10914 is a highly selective inhibitor of PARP enzymes, including PARP1 and PARP2. SC10914 has a similar structure with olaparib. We conducted a phase I study to assess the safety, tolerability, PK/PD and preliminary efficacy of SC10914 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: This is a phase I dose-escalation study with 3+3 design, we enrolled patients at 4 sites in China. Eligible patients were diagnosed with advanced solid malignancies who are refractory to standard therapies or for which no standard therapy exists; had measurable disease; had adequate organ function. Patients received SC10914 daily at ten escalating doses from 30 mg QD to 500 mg TID in a 28-day cycle. We obtained blood for PK and CA125 assessments. Toxic effects were assessed by CTCAE 4.03 criteria and tumour responses ascribed by RECIST 1.1 and CA125 was assessed by GCIG criteria. Results: As of January 2020, 52 patients were enrolled, of which 14 were males and 38 were females. Ten doses were escalated to 500mg TID, and no DLT was observed, and MTD was not obtained. The incidence of grade 3/4 AEs and SAEs that were related to SC10914 were 34.6% (18/52) and 13.5% (7/52). Grade 3/4 adverse reaction happened in at least two patients were anaemia/reduced hemoglobin (10/52, 19.2%), decreased WBC count (5/52, 9.6%), neutropenia (3/52, 5.8%), thrombocytopenia (2/52, 3.8%), and decreased lymphocyte count (2/52, 3.8%). A total of 17 gBRCAm evaluable ovarian cancer patients were enrolled, 6 of them had PR, the ORR was 35.3% (6/17). 10 gBRCAm ovarian cancer patients were enrolled in TID groups (including 2 patients who received BID doses at the beginning and changed to 300 mg TID dose after several cycles of treatment), 5 of them had PR, the ORR was 50% (5/10). The ORR of 400 mg TID group was 66.7%(4/6). PK data showed that the exposure of SC10914 was increased with dose increasing at the dose of 30 mg to 250 mg. The half-life of SC10914 was about 2-5 hours. Conclusions: SC10914 was safe in patients with advanced solid tumors. The main toxicity was blood-related adverse reactions. SC10914 was effective in gBRCAm ovarian cancer patients. 400 mg TID might be RP2D. Clinical trial information: NCT02940132.

3576 Background: VOR (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid; SAHA) is a small molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) that binds directly to the enzyme’s active site in the presence of a zinc ion. Aberrant HDAC activity has been implicated in a variety of cancers. The combination of 5-fluorouracil and VOR is synergistic in preclinical tumor models. Methods: This phase I study evaluated safety, tolerability, and the recommended phase II dose (RPTD) of VOR and CAP in pts with advanced solid tumors. VOR was administered orally daily while CAP was administered orally bid on days 1–14 of a 21 d cycle. Results: Three dose levels have been evaluated (VOR (mg/d)/CAP (mg/bid)): 300/750, 300/1,000 and 400/1,000. Twenty-three pts have been treated: 6M/17F, median age 59 (range 41–73), ECOG 0:1:2 = 9:13:1, prior therapy 1:2:3 or more = 3:7:13. Pts had colorectal cancer (n=6), nasopharyngeal (n=3) and various other tumors. A total of 104 cycles have been administered, with median = 2 (range 1–15). One dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (grade 3 diarrhea) occurred in 6 patients at dose level 1. No DLT were observed at dose level 2, and 2 DLTs (grade 3 fatigue and grade 3 nausea/vomiting) occurred at dose level 3. RPTD was determined to be VOR 300 mg/d and CAP 1,000 mg/bid. Most common toxicities of any grade and at least possibly attributable (n=22) are: thrombocytopenia (59% of pts), fatigue (55%), nausea (55%), vomiting (50%), hypoalbuminemia (45%), anemia (41%), diarrhea (41%), anorexia (41%), elevated creatinine (36%), lymphopenia (36%), hyponatremia (36%), and hyperglycemia (36%). Common grade 3 toxicities included: hand-foot syndrome (23% of pts), diarrhea (14%), fatigue (14%), and lymphopenia (14%). One pt died on study from ventricular fibrillation due to sotalol and hypocalcemia from pre-existing hypoparathyroidism. Five patients with various tumor types had PR (2 confirmed, 3 unconfirmed) (2 nasopharyngeal, 1 each of ovarian, endometrial and squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck). In addition, disease stabilization was seen in 12 patients. Conclusions: VOR and CAP are well tolerated, and this combination is active in several tumor types. Further evaluations of VOR and CAP are warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
