AbstractTherapeutic anti-PD-L1 antibodies are safe as a monotherapy, albeit with minimal efficacy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This trial aimed to test the safety and efficacy of Durvalumab and Paclitaxel in metastatic TNBC. In this open-label, one-arm trial, five cycles of weekly paclitaxel were delivered intravenously (IV) concurrent with Durvalumab that was given IV every 2 weeks. The combination was preceded by one cycle of paclitaxel alone, for immunological priming, followed by Durvalumab solo until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Between 2017 and 2019, 14 patients received at least one cycle of the combination therapy. The therapy was safe with no-dose limiting toxicity, except one case of skin lesions. Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 71% of patients, and there was no death due to the combination therapy. Regardless of grade, the most common AEs were headache and peripheral neuropathy, as each happened in four patients (29%), followed by fatigue and skin rash in three patients (21%) each. Grade 3/4 AEs were experienced by three patients (21%), with the most common being headache and anemia, which happened in two patients (14%). The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was observed in five patients with a median duration of 10.0 months. Median Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 5 and 20.7 months, respectively. The combination of Durvalumab and Paclitaxel is safe, leaving room for additional agents. This is the first report on the combination of Durvalumab and Paclitaxel in the treatment of TNBC (NCT02628132).

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.

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.

1133 Background: Pazopanib, an oral small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR, PDGFR, and KIT, has demonstrated activity in phase I, with a recommended phase II dose of 800 mg/d (Hurwitz H et al, J Clin Oncol. 2005;23[16 suppl]:3012.1). We evaluated the activity of single agent pazopanib in recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: In this 2-stage design, patients with recurrent or MBC received pazopanib 800 mg/d. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) of 20%. Response in 3 out of 18 patients was required to go to stage 2. Treatment was continued until progression. Results: 21 patients entered stage 1; 67% were ER positive and all were HER-2-negative. Prior lines of chemotherapy were 1 in 76% and 2 in 14%. Of the 19 evaluable patients, 2 patients remain on treatment. 14 (74%) stopped due to progressive disease, 2 (10%) due to adverse events, and 1 (5%) due to patient request. Best response was partial response (PR) in 1 (5%), stable disease (SD) in 11 (58%), and progressive disease in 7 (37%). Clinical benefit rate (CR, PR, or SD for ≥ 6 months) was 26%. Median time to progression (TTP) was 3.7 months (95% C.I. 1.7 months - not reached). 9 out of 18 patients (50%) with measurable target lesions had some decrease in target lesion size. Estimated progression-free survival at 3 months was 55%, and 28% at 6 months. Adverse events were grade 3/4 elevations in AST (14%) and ALT (10%), and grade 3 hypertension and neutropenia (14% each). Other common events were grade 1/2 lymphopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, fatigue, skin hypopigmentation, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and headache. Conclusions: Pazopanib is well tolerated and demonstrates activity in pretreated breast cancer. While the target ORR of 20% has not been met, rates of SD and TTP are comparable to other active agents in this setting, and therefore pazopanib may be an interesting agent for future studies in breast cancer.

548 Background: YM155 (YM) is a small molecule survivin suppressant. In a phase I/II study of YM plus docetaxel (D) in solid tumors evidence of anti-tumor activity was observed in women with human epidermal growth factor 2 non-overexpressing (HER2 negative) metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Methods: This was a randomized study of YM plus D versus D as 1st line treatment in subjects with HER2 negative mBC. Eligibility criteria were: ECOG < 1, no prior chemotherapy for mBC, and at least one measurable lesion. Primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were: objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), time to response (TTR) and safety. YM was administered at 5 mg/m2/day as a 168 hr continuous infusion followed by 14 Day (d) observation and D was administered at 75 mg/m2over 1 hr on d1 every 21d. In the control arm, D was dosed per investigator choice q 21d. Results: 101 subjects were randomized (50 YM + D; 51 D). Median (m) age 55 (range: 25 – 79), 25% had triple negative disease, > 60% had bone and lymph mets, 86% had prior therapy for BC. mPFS (days) was 251 (95%CI: 176 – 333) YM + D vs 252 (95%CI: 202-433) D (p=0.34). ORR, CBR and TTR (YM+D; D): 26% vs. 25.5%; 82% vs. 84.3% and 45 vs 59 d. OS data are immature but showed no difference (p=0.911). Adverse events [AEs (> 25%)] [YM + D% vs D %]: neutropenia 83 vs 84, alopecia 62.5 vs 53, fatigue 50 vs 41.2, nausea 35.4 vs 41.2, leucopenia 27 vs 33 and dyspnoea 33 vs 14. Common (>10%) serious AEs [YM + D% vs D%]: febrile neutropenia 21 vs 8 and neutropenia 10 vs 8. Conclusions: Preclinical and clinical evidence suggested the combination of YM + D may offer additional benefit to D alone in subjects with mBC. This study showed no difference in efficacy, but the combination appeared to be well tolerated. Clinical trial information: NCT01038804.

Tumor Mutational Burden

TPS1115 Background: A previous study from our group showed that approximately 9% of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is hypermutated, defined as a tumor mutational burden (TMB) ≥10 Mutations/Megabase (Mut/Mb). The aim of this study is to evaluate if patients with hypermutated HER2-negative MBC benefit from the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study assessing the efficacy of nivolumab 3 mg/Kg intravenously (IV) every 14 days plus Ipilimumab 1 mg/Kg IV every 6 weeks in subjects with hypermutated metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients with measurable HER2-negative MBC, TMB ≥10 Mut/Mb assessed by a cancer-gene panel evaluating > 300 genes and performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory, and 0-3 prior lines of chemotherapy in the advanced setting are eligible. The primary objective is overall response rate according to RECIST 1.1. Secondary objectives include the safety and tolerability of the combination, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The study will follow a two-stage design. In the first stage 14 patients will be enrolled. If there is at least one patient with objective response, accrual will continue to the second stage where an additional 16 patients will be enrolled. If there are at least 4 patients with an objective response among the 30 patients, the regimen will be considered worthy of further study. If the true response rate is 5%, the chance the regimen is declared worthy of further study is less than 5%. If the true response rate is 25%, the chance that the regimen is declared worthy of further study is > 90%. Tumor biopsies, peripheral blood, and stool collection are mandatory and will be obtained at baseline, on treatment (end of cycle 1), and at disease progression and will be assessed for potential biomarkers of treatment response. The trial was activated in February 2019, and accrual should be completed in 18 months. Clinical trial information: NCT03789110.

1036 Background: Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is preferentially expressed in basal-like compared to luminal breast cancer. In murine models, overexpression of the oncogenic Met receptor transgene induces tumors with human basal gene expression characteristics supporting Met inhibition as a treatment strategy for triple negative (TN) breast cancer. Foretinib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor of Met, RON, AXL, TIE-2 and VEGF receptors with anti-tumor activity in advanced HCC and papillary renal cell cancer. Methods: Patients (pts) with TN breast cancer and 0-1 prior regimens for metastatic disease received daily foretinib 60 mg po in a 2-stage single arm trial. Primary endpoints were objective response and early progression rates per RECIST 1.1. Tumor samples were centrally reviewed to confirm ER/PR/HER2 status and for correlative studies including Met, PTEN and EGFR expression. Stage 1 accrual required 23 response-evaluable Met unselected patients with accrual continuing if >/= 1 response or < 17 early progressions (PD <= 8 weeks on study) were observed. Results: Accrual is 29 pts to date; 24 are eligible, 22 evaluable for toxicity and 15 for response. Median age is 56 y (43-81), ECOG PS 0-1 in 23/24. Grade 3 laboratory adverse events were: lymphopenia (9%), elevations in ALT (5%), GGT (5%) and INR (5%). Treatment-related non-hematologic toxicities included (all/grade 3-4) fatigue (64%/5%), nausea (55%/5%), diarrhea (41%/5%), hypertension (32%/14%), vomiting (27%/0%), anorexia (23%/5%) and rash (14%/0%). Three SAEs possibly related to foretinib included; asymptomatic pulmonary embolism, reversible CHF and pleural effusion with QTc prolongation. One PR (7%), 8 early PD (53%) and 6 SD (40%) have been observed to date with median SD duration of 5.4 months (range 2.7-5.5). Preliminary correlative results (IHC): 5/8 (62.5%) evaluable Met positive cases had SD and 4/5 (80%) Met negative cases had PD as best response. Met IHC was negative in the pt with PR. Conclusions: Foretinib shows preliminary evidence of activity and tolerability in metastatic, TN breast cancer. Stage 2 of accrual will include 15 pts with pre-treatment biopsies of metastases and circulating tumor cell collection.

535 Background: Dysregulation of MET and VEGF signaling has been implicated in breast cancer development and progression, including tumor invasion and dissemination. Cabozantinib (cabo) is an oral, potent inhibitor of MET and VEGFR2. A RDT evaluated activity and safety in 9 tumor types, including MBC. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) were required to have progressive measurable disease per RECIST. Pts received cabo at 100 mg qd over a 12 wk Lead-in stage. Tumor response (mRECIST) was assessed q6 wks. Treatment ≥ wk 12 was based on response: pts with PR continued open-label cabo, pts with SD were randomized to cabo vs placebo, and pts with PD discontinued. Primary endpoint in the randomized discontinuation phase was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Enrollment to this cohort is complete (n = 45); all pts are unblinded. Baseline characteristics: median age 56; invasive ductal 86%, invasive lobular 7%; ER+ 93%, HER2+ 18%, triple- 5%; visceral disease 91%; bone metastases 73%; median prior lines of therapy 3 (range 1-8), including 71% with prior anthracyclines. Median follow-up was 2.9 mos (range 0.1 -16). 21 pts (47%) completed Lead-in stage with only 9 randomized to continue cabo (n = 5) or placebo (n = 4). Median PFS from Study Day 1 was 4.1 mos. At wk 12, objective response rate was 14% and disease control rate 48%. Tumor regression was observed in 25/39 pts (64%) with ≥1 post-baseline tumor assessment. 4/10 pts evaluable by bone scan had partial resolution of bone lesions. Of 12 pts receiving narcotics for bone pain, 5 pts reported improved pain and 2 pts had decreased narcotics use, per investigator. 4/14 evaluable pts (29%) with bone metastases experienced ≥50% decline in serum NTx. Most common Grade 3/4 AEs were palmar-plantar erythrodyesthesia (13%) and fatigue (11%). One related Grade 5 AE of respiratory compromise was reported during the Lead-in stage. Conclusions: Cabo demonstrated a 14% rate of objective tumor regression in heavily pretreated MBC pts. Observed effects on bone scan and pain are consistent with those seen in other malignancies. The safety profile of cabo was comparable to that seen with other VEGFR TKIs.

1045 Background: Triple-negative breast cancer cells are unable to repair double stranded DNA breaks and hence have sensitivity to platinum agents. The combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel administered weekly is active and well tolerated. Bevacizumab when added to paclitaxel prolonged progression-free survival in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We investigated the activity and toxicity of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and bevacizumab in triple-negative MBC. Methods: The study’s primary objective was to estimate the objective response rate [complete (CR) + partial remission (PR)] and toxicity of the combination in women with triple negative MBC who had no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. The study followed the Simon's two-stage optimal design with 16 patients initially evaluated for response and toxicity and then expanding to a total of 46 patients. The null hypothesis that the objective response rate is ≤40% could be rejected if the number of CR/PR was ≥23. Paclitaxel 90mg/m2and Carboplatin AUC 2 were administered on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks, preceded by bevacizumab 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 15. Results: 45 women with triple negative MBC have been recruited thus far. Of them, 12 were premenopausal and 27 had prior (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy. The median cycles administered were 5 (range 1-8). Of 38 evaluable patients we observed 7 CR, 22 PR’s for an objective response rate 76%. Seven patients achieved stable disease, while two had disease progression. Median duration of response was 8.1 months with median time to progression 9.2 months. Neutropenia grade 3 and 4 was experienced by 13 and 6 patients, respectively, with one toxic death due to febrile neutropenia. Other grade 3 toxicities included anemia/neurotoxicity (n=2), thrombocytopenia/diarrhea (n=1). Conclusions: Although still ongoingthe study has achieved the primary objective of demonstrating clinical activity for weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel in combination with bevacizumab in triple negative MBC. We believe that this triplet combination merits further evaluation in this patient population for whom there is no standard treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT00691379.

1084 Background: Napabucasin is a first-in-class cancer stemness inhibitor, identified by its ability to inhibit STAT3-driven gene transcription and spherogenesis of cancer stem cells (Li et al PNAS 112 (6):1839, 2015). Napabucasin has shown potent synergistic preclinical anti-tumor activity with paclitaxel (PTX). In a phase Ib dose escalation study in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors, Napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel was well tolerated. A phase II expansion cohort was opened for pts with previously treated metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: Pts with metastatic MBC for whom weekly PTX was a reasonable treatment option received Napabucasin 240, 480, or 500 mg orally, twice daily in combination with paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV weekly on 3 of every 4 weeks. Adverse events were evaluated using CTCAE v4.03 and objective tumor assessments were obtained every 8 weeks per RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: A total of 50 pts were enrolled including 34 with triple-negative disease (negative for estrogen receptor [ER], progesterone receptor [PR], and Her2 and no prior history of positive receptor status). There were 9 pts positive for ER, PR, or Her2 and refractory to targeted agents, and 7 pts with conversion to triple-negative disease from pathology previously positive for ER, PR or Her2. Pts were heavily pre-treated, having received a median of 5 prior lines of systemic therapy. All but 3 patients had received previous systemic treatment with a taxane. Napabucasin + PTX was well tolerated. Grade 3 AE occurring in ≥ 5% patients was diarrhea (n = 4), and 1 pt had grade 4 diarrhea. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS) for all pts and for each sub-group are summarized in the table. Conclusions: Napabucasin (BBI-608) plus weekly paclitaxel has demonstrated safety, tolerability, and encouraging signs of anti-cancer activity in pts with pretreated metastatic breast cancer. Further clinical evaluation of this combination regimen in controlled trials is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01325441. [Table: see text]

1001 Background: PARP inhibitors(i) are effective in BRCA-mutation -associated metastatic breast cancer(MBC). However, there are no studies evaluating PARPi + platin chemotherapy in BRCA wild-type(wt) TNBC. Approximately 1/2 of BRCAwt TNBC demonstrate homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) resulting in a BRCA-like phenotype which might render them sensitive to PARPi. S1416 compared the efficacy of cisplatin plus PARPi veliparib (Vel) or placebo (P) in 3 groups of MBC: gBRCA+; BRCA-like; and non-BRCA-like. Methods: Patients (pts) with metastatic TNBC or g BRCA1/2-associated MBC, who had received < 1 line of prior therapy were treated with cisplatin (75mg/m2) plus Vel or P (300 mg po BID days 1-14), every 3 weeks. All pts underwent central gBRCA testing. A priori established multipronged biomarker panel was used to classify BRCAwt pts into BRCA-like and non-BRCA-like groups, and included myChoice HRD score, somatic BRCA1/2 mutations, BRCA1 methylation and non- BRCA1/2 HR germline mutations. Primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS) in the three pre-defined groups; secondary end-points included objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), toxicity. Results: 323/335 randomized pts were eligible for efficacy evaluation; 31% had received 1 prior chemotherapy for MBC. 248 pts were classified into the three groups: (1) 37 gBRCA+ (2) 101 BRCA-like; (3) 110 non- BRCA-like. Remaining 75 could not be classified due to missing biomarker information. In the gBRCA+ group (which reached 62% of its projected accrual), numerically better PFS was noted with Vel compared to P (HR=0.64; p=0.26) though this difference was not statistically significant. In BRCA-like group improved PFS was noted with Vel vs P (median PFS 5.7 vs 4.3 months HR=0.58; p=0.023, 1 years PFS 20% vs 7%). Numerically better OS (median OS 13.7 vs 12.1 months, HR=0.66; p=0.14) and ORR (45% vs 35%, p=0.38) were noted with Vel vs P in BRCA-like group. Non-BRCA-like group did not show benefit of veliparib for PFS (HR=0.85; p=0.43) neither did the unclassified group (HR=0.97). Grade 3/4 neutropenia (46% vs 19%) and anemia (23% vs 7%) occurred at higher frequency in Vel arm compared to P. Conclusions: Addition of Vel to cisplatin significantly improved PFS and showed a trend towards improved OS for BRCA-like advanced TNBC. Integral biomarkers used in this study identified a subgroup of BRCAwt TNBC who benefited from addition of PARPi to cisplatin; platinum plus PARPi combination should be explored further in BRCA-like TNBC.
