AbstractThe METRIC study (NCT#0199733) explored a novel antibody–drug conjugate, glembatumumab vedotin (GV), targeting gpNMB that is overexpressed in ~40% of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and associated with poor prognosis. The study was a randomized, open-label, phase 2b study that evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) of GV compared with capecitabine in gpNMB-overexpressing TNBC. Patients who had previously received anthracycline and taxane-based therapy were randomized 2:1 to receive, GV (1.88 mg/kg IV q21 days) or capecitabine (2500 mg/m2 PO daily d1–14 q21 days). The primary endpoint was RECIST 1.1 PFS per independent, blinded central review. In all, 327 patients were randomized to GV (213 treated) or capecitabine (92 treated). Median PFS was 2.9 months for GV vs. 2.8 months for capecitabine. The most common grade ≥3 toxicities for GV were neutropenia, rash, and leukopenia, and for capecitabine were fatigue, diarrhea, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. The study did not meet the primary endpoint of improved PFS over capecitabine or demonstrate a relative risk/benefit improvement over capecitabine.

1103 Background: Epacadostat is an oral, potent, and selective inhibitor of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1, a tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme that induces immune tolerance via T-cell suppression and is associated with poor patient (pt) survival when overexpressed in some cancers. The ongoing, open-label, phase 1/2 (P1/2) ECHO-202/KEYNOTE-037 study is evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of epacadostat plus PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab (E + P) in pts with advanced/recurrent cancers. We report P1/2 study outcomes for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) pts and P2 outcomes for ovarian cancer (OVC; no P1) pts as of a 29OCT2016 data cutoff. Methods: Eligible pts were ≥18 years old with no prior checkpoint inhibitor treatment (tx); prior platinum/taxane tx was required for OVC pts. As part of P1 dose escalation, TNBC pts received E (300 mg BID) + P (200 mg Q3W). In P2, TNBC and OVC pts received E (100 mg BID) + P (200 mg Q3W). Response (RECIST v1.1) was assessed in evaluable pts. Safety and tolerability were assessed in pts with ≥1 dose of E + P. Results: A total of 39 pts with TNBC and 37 with OVC were enrolled. The majority of TNBC pts (56%, n = 22) and OVC pts (78%, n = 29) received ≥3 prior lines of tx. For TNBC pts, ORR (CR+PR) was 10% (n = 4; all PR) and DCR (CR+PR+SD) was 36% (n = 14; 10 SD); ORR and DCR for pts with ≤2 prior tx were 12% (n = 2) and 29% (n = 5), respectively, and for ≥3 prior tx were 9% (n = 2) and 41% (n = 9). For OVC pts, ORR was 8% (n = 3; all PR) and DCR was 35% (n = 13; 10 SD); ORR and DCR for pts with ≤2 prior tx were 13% (n = 1) and 25% (n = 2), and for ≥3 prior tx were 7% (n = 2) and 38% (n = 11). The most common TRAEs (≥15% of pts) were rash (18%), fatigue (15%), and nausea (15%) in the 39 TNBC pts, and fatigue (19%) in the 37 OVC pts. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 13% of TNBC pts (n = 5; none in > 1 pt) and 19% of OVC pts (n = 7; only rash occurred in > 1 pt [n = 3]). TRAEs led to discontinuation in 1 TNBC pt (grade 3 ascites) and 1 OVC pt (grade 2 arthralgia). Conclusions: E + P tx was generally well tolerated and showed antitumor activity consistent with previously reported P monotherapy in pts with advanced TNBC or OVC. Biomarker analysis is ongoing to characterize pt populations enrolled in this study. Clinical trial information: NCT02178722.

1074 Background: TQB2450 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). Anlotinib is an antiangiogenic small molecule, multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has improved clinical outcomes in various solid tumors. This phase 1b study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TQB2450 plus anlotinib for patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) after the failure of standard therapy. Methods: This ongoing study included a dose-escalation phase and an expansion phase. Advanced TNBC patients with prior anthracyclines and/or taxanes treatment and failed at least first-line therapy were enrolled. In the dose-escalation phase, eligible patients received anlotinib (8mg, 10mg, and 12mg, qd, days 1-14; 21 days per cycle) plus TQB2450 (1200mg, day 1; 21 days per cycle) following the conventional 3+3 design. If the starting dose of 10mg anlotinib led to ≥2 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), 8mg anlotinib would be administered. After the dose-escalating phase, eligible patients were enrolled into the expansion cohort. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Results: Between May 29, 2019, and December 31, 2020, in the dose-escalation phase, three patients receiving 10mg anlotinib plus 1200mg TQB2450 had no DLTs in the first cycle, neither did three patients with 12mg anlotinib plus TQB2450. Next, 28 patients with advanced TNBC received 12 mg anlotinib plus TQB2450 in the expansion phase. Finally, a total of 34 patients were included with median age of 49.5 (32-70) and median prior lines of 2 (1-6). Numbers of patients with prior platinum therapy: 16, prior anthracycline therapy: 32. The ORR was 26.47% (9/34) and DCR was 82.35% (28/34). The median PFS was 8.57 months. Seventeen patients experienced grade 3 treatment-related AEs (TRAEs). Most frequently occurring (>5%) grade 3 TRAEs were QT interval prolongation (17.65%), hypertension (14.71%), diarrhea (8.82%), hand-foot syndrome (HFS) (8.82%), and hypertriglyceridemia (5.88%). Conclusions: TQB2450 plus anlotinib showed an acceptable safety profile with promising activity for previously anthracyclines and/or taxanes-treated advanced TNBC patients.

Abstract Background Irinotecan-based doublet chemotherapy strategy was standard second-line backbone treatment for patients with oxaliplatin‑refractory metastatic colorectal cancer(mCRC). The aim of this study was to evaluate tolerability and efficacy of raltitrexed combined with irinotecan biweekly administered as the second-line therapy for mCRC patients.Methods The study was a single-center, non-randomized, open-label phase II trial. Patients with mCRC after failure with first-line treatment of oxaliplatin and fluoropyrimidine or its derivatives were enrolled. Irinotecan (180 mg/m2) and raltitrexed (2.5 mg/m2) were given intravenously on day 1. Cycles were repeated every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival, and the secondary endpoints included overall response rate, disease control rate, overall survival and treatment related adverse events. Results Between December 2012 and October 2016, 35 patients were enrolled. 33 and 35 patients were assessed for response and safety, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) was 8.6 %, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 71.4%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.5 months (95% CI 3.8–5.2). The median overall survival was 12.0 months (95% CI 8.5–15.5). Four patients received conversion therapy to no evidence of disease (NED), and 2 patients were still alive with beyond 24 months survival. The most common grade 3/4 hematological adverse events were leukopenia (8.6%), neutropenia (5.7%). The most common grade 3/4 nonhematological adverse events were anorexia (14.3%), vomiting (14.3%), nausea (11.4%) and fatigue (8.6%). Two patients discontinued the protocol treatment because of treatment-related gastrointestinal adverse events. No one died from treatment-related events. The incidence and severity of toxicity was irrelevant to UGT1A1 status.Conclusions The combination of irinotecan with raltitrexed is an active, convenient and acceptable toxic regimen for second-line treatment for mCRC patients, which needs further study as a chemotherapy backbone to be combined with targeted agents in mCRC.Trial registration No. ChiCTR-ONC-12002767. The study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry at 29 Octorber 2012, http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx.

PURPOSE Standard adjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) includes a taxane and an anthracycline. Concomitant capecitabine may be beneficial, but robust data to support this are lacking. The efficacy and safety of the addition of capecitabine into the TNBC adjuvant treatment regimen was evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS This randomized, open-label, phase III trial was conducted in China. Eligible female patients with early TNBC after definitive surgery were randomly assigned (1:1) to either capecitabine (3 cycles of capecitabine and docetaxel followed by 3 cycles of capecitabine, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide) or control treatment (3 cycles of docetaxel followed by 3 cycles of fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide). Randomization was centralized without stratification. The primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS Between June 2012 and December 2013, 636 patients with TNBC were screened, and 585 were randomly assigned to treatment (control, 288; capecitabine, 297). Median follow-up was 67 months. The 5-year DFS rate was higher for capecitabine than for control treatment (86.3% v 80.4%; hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.99; P = .044). Five-year overall survival rates were numerically higher but not significantly improved (capecitabine, 93.3%; control, 90.7%). Overall, 39.1% of patients had capecitabine dose reductions, and 8.4% reported grade ≥ 3 hand-foot syndrome. The most common grade ≥ 3 hematologic toxicities were neutropenia (capecitabine, 136 [45.8%]; control, 118 [41.0%]) and febrile neutropenia (capecitabine, 50 [16.8%]; control, 46 [16.0%]). Safety data were similar to the known capecitabine safety profile and generally comparable between arms. CONCLUSION Capecitabine when added to 3 cycles of docetaxel followed by 3 cycles of a 3-drug anthracycline combination containing capecitabine instead of fluorouracil significantly improved DFS in TNBC without new safety concerns.

Purpose One third of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). CALGB 40603 (Alliance), a 2 × 2 factorial, open-label, randomized phase II trial, evaluated the impact of adding carboplatin and/or bevacizumab. Patients and Methods Patients (N = 443) with stage II to III TNBC received paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 once per week (wP) for 12 weeks, followed by doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide once every 2 weeks (ddAC) for four cycles, and were randomly assigned to concurrent carboplatin (area under curve 6) once every 3 weeks for four cycles and/or bevacizumab 10 mg/kg once every 2 weeks for nine cycles. Effects of adding these agents on pCR breast (ypT0/is), pCR breast/axilla (ypT0/isN0), treatment delivery, and toxicities were analyzed. Results Patients assigned to either carboplatin or bevacizumab were less likely to complete wP and ddAC without skipped doses, dose modification, or early discontinuation resulting from toxicity. Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were more common with carboplatin, as were hypertension, infection, thromboembolic events, bleeding, and postoperative complications with bevacizumab. Employing one-sided P values, addition of either carboplatin (60% v 44%; P = .0018) or bevacizumab (59% v 48%; P = .0089) significantly increased pCR breast, whereas only carboplatin (54% v 41%; P = .0029) significantly raised pCR breast/axilla. More-than-additive interactions between the two agents could not be demonstrated. Conclusion In stage II to III TNBC, addition of either carboplatin or bevacizumab to NACT increased pCR rates, but whether this will improve relapse-free or overall survival is unknown. Given results from recently reported adjuvant trials, further investigation of bevacizumab in this setting is unlikely, but the role of carboplatin could be evaluated in definitive studies, ideally limited to biologically defined patient subsets most likely to benefit from this agent.
