AbstractChikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a reemerging mosquito-borne virus that causes swift outbreaks. Major concerns are the persistent and disabling polyarthralgia in infected individuals. Here we present the results from a first-in-human trial of the candidate simian adenovirus vectored vaccine ChAdOx1 Chik, expressing the CHIKV full-length structural polyprotein (Capsid, E3, E2, 6k and E1). 24 adult healthy volunteers aged 18–50 years, were recruited in a dose escalation, open-label, nonrandomized and uncontrolled phase 1 trial (registry NCT03590392). Participants received a single intramuscular injection of ChAdOx1 Chik at one of the three preestablished dosages and were followed-up for 6 months. The primary objective was to assess safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1 Chik. The secondary objective was to assess the humoral and cellular immunogenicity. ChAdOx1 Chik was safe at all doses tested with no serious adverse reactions reported. The vast majority of solicited adverse events were mild or moderate, and self-limiting in nature. A single dose induced IgG and T-cell responses against the CHIKV structural antigens. Broadly neutralizing antibodies against the four CHIKV lineages were found in all participants and as early as 2 weeks after vaccination. In summary, ChAdOx1 Chik showed excellent safety, tolerability and 100% PRNT50 seroconversion after a single dose.

4071 Background: Durvalumab, an anti-PD-L1 mAb, has shown early and durable clinical activity with manageable safety in an ongoing Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study in pts with advanced solid tumors. Interim analyses from the HCC cohort in the dose-expansion part of this study are reported here. Methods: Patients with HCC (Child-Pugh class A) received durvalumab 10 mg/kg i.v. q2w for 12 months or until confirmed progressive disease, whichever occurred first. The primary objective was to evaluate the safety profile; secondary objective was to assess the antitumor activity (investigator-assessed RECIST v1.1). Clinical activity was evaluated for the total HCC population and by viral status. Results: As of Oct 24 2016, 40 HCC pts with median 23.9 (range 2.4–34.7) weeks follow-up received durvalumab. 93% had prior sorafenib. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 80.0% of pts, most commonly fatigue (27.5%), pruritus (25.0%) and elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (22.5%). Grade 3–4 treatment-related AEs were reported in 20.0% of pts, most commonly elevated AST (7.5%) and elevated alanine aminotransferase (5.0%). 7 (17.5%) pts completed the initial 12-month treatment and 7 (17.5%) pts discontinued treatment because of an AE (none related to treatment). There were no deaths due to treatment-related AEs. Clinical activity is presented in the table. 4 pts achieved a PR; 2 were ongoing at data cut-off. Conclusions: Durvalumab had an acceptable safety profile and showed promising antitumor activity and OS in pts with HCC, particularly HCV+ pts. Clinical trial information: NCT01693562.

SummaryBackground This open-label, phase 1 study investigated TAS4464, a potent NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor, in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (JapicCTI-173,488; registered 13/01/2017). The primary objective was dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) was investigated using an accelerated titration design. Methods The starting 10-mg/m2 dose was followed by an initial accelerated stage (weekly dosing; n = 11). Based on liver function test (LFT) results, a 14-day, 20-mg/m2 dose lead-in period was implemented (weekly dosing with lead-in; n = 6). Results Abnormal LFT changes and gastrointestinal effects were the most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs). DLTs with 56-mg/m2 weekly dosing occurred in 1/5 patients; five patients had grade ≥ 2 abnormal LFT changes at 40- and 56-mg/m2 weekly doses. Further dose escalation ceased because of the possibility of severe abnormal LFT changes occurring. DLTs with weekly dosing with lead-in occurred in 1/5 patients at a 56-mg/m2 dose; MTD could not be determined because discontinuation criteria for additional enrollment at that particular dose level were met. As no further enrollment at lower doses occurred, dose escalation assessment was discontinued. Serious treatment-related AEs, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, and DLTs were all related to abnormal LFT changes, suggesting that TAS4464 administration could affect liver function. This effect was dose-dependent but considered reversible. Complete or partial responses to TAS4464 were not observed; one patient achieved prolonged stable disease. Conclusions MTD could not be determined due to TAS4464 effects on liver function. Further evaluation of the mechanism of NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor-induced abnormal liver function is required.

The Impact

Introduction: Rasburicase is a urate oxidase enzyme used for prophylaxis and treatment of hyperuricemia associated with TLS. The recommended dose of rasburicase is 0.2 mg/kg/day for 5 days; however, recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of a single rasburicase dose in prophylaxis and management of hyperuricemia associated with TLS. Our institution’s TLS guideline was updated to recommend the use of a single rasburicase dose (0.2 mg/kg). The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of a single rasburicase dose in controlling uric acid (UA); the secondary objective was to evaluate the impact of the institutional TLS guidelines update on consumption and cost of rasburicase. Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study including all patients who received rasburicase from August 2012 to March 2016 at the National Center for Cancer Care and Research (NCCCR) in Qatar. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the prescribed number of rasburicase doses (single dose vs multiple doses). Collected data included patients’ diagnosis, laboratory parameters rasburicase dose, duration, and number of dispensed vials. UA levels within 24 hours and on day 5 of initial rasburicase dose were evaluated. Risk stratification was determined according to institutional guidelines based on disease, white blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase level, renal function, and UA level. Results: A total of 103 patients who received rasburicase were evaluated retrospectively; rasburicase was prescribed as single dose for 65 patients (63%) and multiple doses for 38 patients (37%). The majority of patients who received rasburicase as single or multiple doses were at high risk of developing TLS, representing 68% and 84%, respectively. Baseline mean UA levels were similar in both groups: 5.4±2.9 mg/dL vs 4.7±3.2 mg/L respectively (P=.7). Normal or undetectable UA levels were observed within 24 hours in 98% of patients in the single dose group and 100% of patients in the multiple doses group. All patients in both groups had normal UA on day 5 of rasburicase with relatively similar UA levels: 1.5±1.2 mg/dL vs 0.8±1 mg/dL (P=.18). Rasburicase consumption and cost were reduced by 42.5% after the guidelines update. Conclusion: The single rasburicase dose demonstrated efficacy in controlling serum UA levels. Updating the institutional TLS guidelines had a significant impact on rasburicase consumption and led to significant cost reduction.

3094 Background: The carcinomembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1, CD66a) is a member of the CEA gene family. CEACAM1 interacts homophilically and heterophilically with CEACAM5, and is involved in various anti-proliferative activities. CEACAM1 is expressed on a variety of epithelial and hematological cells, including multiple types of cancer and activated lymphocytes. High CEACAM1 expression in some tumor types is known to be associated with poor disease prognosis. Recently it was demonstrated CEACAM1 is co-expressed on exhausted lymphocytes with other immune checkpoints such as TIM-3 and may regulate downstream activity. CM24 is a novel humanized α-CEACAM1-specific antibody with nM affinity to the N terminal domain of CEACAM1, which blocks intercellular CEACAM1 interactions. Methods: The primary objective was to test the safety and tolerability of CM24 in adult patients with advanced or recurrent cancer. Secondary objectives included assessment of CM24 PK and PD profiles, anti-tumor response and the recommended Phase 2 dose. Patient received IV infusion of CM24 at 7 dose levels ranging between 0.01 and 10 mg/kg in a cycle of 4 doses administered q2wks followed by a 6-week observation only period and additional 6 cycles. Results: 27 patients (median pretreatment of 4 prior regimens; range 2-8, 11 colorectal, 7 melanoma, 4 ovarian, 3 gastric, 2 NSCLC; 13 males, 14 females, mean age of 60 years), were included. Treatment with CM-24 was overall well-tolerated without DLTs up to 10 mg/kg. The most frequent AE was grade 1-3 increased alanine aminotransferase (7 subjects) and the most severe AE was grade 3/4 increase in gamma-glutamyltransferase (4 subjects). Drug-related AEs were observed in 63% of the subjects with grade 3-5 occurred in 3.7%. Eight subjects (29.6%) had stable disease as the best overall response. Median overall survival was 4 (3.4, 8.0) and 6.2 (2.7, 10.2) months for the 3 and 10 mg/kg doses, suggesting dose response. Cmax, AUC and t1/2 increased with increasing dose with the longest t1/2 of 11.2 days obtained at 10mg/kg. The average target occupancy of CM24 at 3mg/kg and 10mg/kg were 75% and 93%, respectively. Conclusions: PK and target-mediated drug disposition analysis suggest that doses higher than 10mg/kg are needed for target saturation at a q2 week regimen while a q3 week regimen is less optimal. A phase 1/2 clinical trial testing CM24 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with NSCLC including assessment of CEACAM1 expression is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02346955 .

Here we report on the humoral and cellular immune response in eight volunteers who autonomously chose to adhere to the Italian national COVID-19 vaccination campaign more than 3 months after receiving a single administration GRAd-COV2 vaccine candidate in the context of the phase 1 clinical trial. We observed a clear boost of both binding/neutralizing antibodies as well as T cell responses upon receipt of the heterologous BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1-nCOV19 vaccines. These results, despite the limitation of the small sample size, support the concept that a single-dose of an adenoviral vaccine may represent an ideal tool to effectively prime a balanced immune response, which can be boosted to high levels by a single dose of a different vaccine platform.
