3124 Background: APG-115 is a novel and orally active small-molecule MDM2 inhibitor. APG-115 alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic, targeted or IO agents have shown potent antitumor activities in multiple human xenograft tumor models and human cancer patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. Methods: The patients with advanced solid tumors were enrolled in this study in China (CTR20170975). The study objectives were to assess safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antitumor activity of APG-115. The patients received APG-115 (ranging 100–200 mg) orally QOD for first 21 days of a 28-day-cycle, until disease progression. Antitumor response assessment was performed every 8 weeks per RECIST v1.1. Archived tumor tissues were collected for analyses of MDM2 and TP53 before treatment. Results: As cut-off on Jan 4 2019, total 13 patients (9 soft tissue sarcomas (STSs), 2 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs) and 2 osteosarcomas) were treated in 3 cohorts of APG-115 (100mg, 150mg, 200mg). The median number of prior systemic anticancer therapies was 2 (range 0-4). Two DLTs were observed in one patient at 200mg including thrombocytopenia and febrile neutropenia. The most common TEAEs (≥50% of pts) included: anemia, thrombocytopenia, vomiting, hypercholesterolaemia, and leukopenia. SAEs occurred in 7 patients (54%), four of which were treatment related. The most common Grade 3 or 4 TRAEs were anemia (38.5%), thrombocytopenia (38.5%), leukopenia (30.8%), and neutropenia (23.1%). One partial response was observed in a liposarcoma patient with MDM2-amplification and TP53-wild type at the 150mg cohort, 5 patients (3 STSs, 2 ACCs) had SD as the best overall response. PK analyses indicated an approximately dose proportional increase in Cmax and AUC0-t following a single or multiple oral administration across dose levels. Preliminary PD data showed that serum MIC-1 increase was exposure dependent within the dose range tested. Conclusions: Preliminary data suggested that APG-115 had promising anti-tumor activity in treatment of patients with MDM2-amplification and TP53-WT liposarcoma. Safety profile and PD effect were consistent with other MDM2 inhibitors. Dosing regimen optimization are ongoing. Clinical trial information: CTR20170975.
