Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) reported from use of an adjuvanted whole-cell autologous cancer vaccine in cats with solid tumors under field conditions. Methods The case accession database at Torigen Pharmaceuticals was searched to identify client-owned cats that underwent biopsy or surgical resection of their primary tumor, had histologic confirmation of neoplasia and received at least one subcutaneous dose of an adjuvanted whole-cell autologous cancer vaccine. Records were reviewed for any reported AEs. Results In total, 117 cats met the inclusion criteria and received 422 doses of autologous cancer vaccine. Six (5.1%) cats had seven reported AEs, with the majority of these (85.7%) being characterized as grade 1 or 2 (mild) and resolving without medical intervention. Conclusions and relevance AEs were infrequent in cats treated with an adjuvanted whole-cell autologous cancer vaccine under typical field use conditions. This form of active cancer immunotherapy appears to be well tolerated by cats and may represent a treatment option for owners who are concerned about AEs associated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Additional studies are warranted to determine the efficacy of this form of individualized immunotherapy in cats with solid tumors.

BackgroundIDO-1 inhibitors have shown antitumor activity in combination with immunotherapeutic agents in multiple cancers. KHK2455 is a novel and selective oral IDO-1 inhibitor. KHK2455 inhibits IDO-1 apo-enzyme, with long-lasting and potent activity. Mogamulizumab is an anti-C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) monoclonal antibody that has shown synergy with KHK2455 in preclinical models. Mogamulizumab is approved in the US and EU for treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.MethodsIn this first-in-human study, patients with advanced solid tumors received escalating oral doses of KHK2455 alone (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 and 100 mg once daily) for 4 weeks (Cycle 0), followed by combination with 1 mg/kg weekly of IV mogamulizumab for 4 weeks (Cycle 1), and then on Days 1 and 15 (from Cycle 2 onward) in a standard 3+3 Phase I design. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and IDO activity (kynurenine [Kyn] and tryptophan [Trp] levels and ex vivo Kyn production) were evaluated.ResultsThirty-six patients were enrolled across all cohorts. One patient with lower esophageal cancer in the 100 mg cohort exhibited dose-limiting toxicity (Grade 3 gastrointestinal necrosis). The most frequent (≥10%) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are presented in table 1. Overall numbers of TEAEs, ≥Grade 3 TEAEs, and serious TEAEs related to KHK2455 and mogamulizumab are presented in table 2. Serious KHK2455-related TEAEs included gastrointestinal necrosis (KHK2455 monotherapy), and nausea and drug eruption (combination therapy). In addition, five drug-related TEAEs in combination therapy led to discontinuation; there were no fatal outcomes related to either study drug. Plasma KHK2455 concentrations reached steady state by Day 8 (Cycle 0) and increased dose-dependently. Potent dose-dependent inhibition of IDO activity was demonstrated by plasma Kyn concentration and Kyn/Trp ratio (median inhibition 70.5% and 70.8%, respectively, at 100 mg dose on Day 15, compared to baseline) and ex vivo Kyn production (>95% inhibition at ≥10 mg KHK2455), confirming target modulation. Six of 26 evaluable patients from all dosing groups achieved durable disease stabilization (≥6 months, RECIST 1.1), and one patient with bevacizumab-resistant glioblastoma demonstrated confirmed partial response (43.5% tumor reduction over a 2-year observation period). Median overall survival was 13.4 months, with 30% of subjects surviving for 2 years or longer (figure 1).Abstract 287 Table 1Study 2455-001: Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (≥10% by Preferred Term)Abstract 287 Table 2Abstract 287 Figure 1Study 2455-001: Overall SurvivalConclusionsKHK2455 in combination with mogamulizumab was well-tolerated and manageable at all doses tested, suppressed Kyn production in a dose-dependent and sustained manner, and demonstrated signals of antitumor activity. These data support the continued development of this combination.AcknowledgementsMedical writing assistance was provided by Susan E. Johnson, PhD, S.E.

Objective.To report the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (TCZ) for giant cell arteritis (GCA).Methods.A retrospective multicenter study that included 34 patients receiving TCZ for GCA.Results.TCZ was effective in all but 6 patients, who still had mild symptoms. Mean glucocorticoid dose was tapered. One patient died and 3 patients had to stop TCZ therapy because of severe adverse events. Twenty-three patients stopped treatment; 8 of these experienced relapses after a mean of 3.5 ± 1.3 months.Conclusion.TCZ is effective in GCA. However, side effects occur. Whether this treatment has only a suspensive effect remains to be determined.

TPS5600 Background: KIF18A is a mitotic kinesin motor protein that regulates chromosome positioning during cell division and is overexpressed in a subset of human cancers. TP53 mutant unstable aneuploid cancer cells with chromosomal instability (CIN) features are dependent on KIF18A motor activity to prevent lethal multipolar cell division. Preclinical data demonstrate that treatment with AMG 650; an oral, first in class, selective small molecule inhibitor of KIF18A may be safe and tolerable. We are conducting a first-in-human phase 1 study with AMG 650 in adult subjects with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with TP53MUT, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) or serous like endometrial cancers and other solid tumors. Methods: In this phase 1, multicentric, dose escalation and dose expansion study we evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 650 monotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (NCT04293094). The main objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) based on emerging safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics (PD) data prior to reaching the MTD. Key inclusion criteria include the presence of measurable disease and diagnosis of advanced/metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), serous-like endometrial cancer or other solid tumors with documented TP53 mutations. In the dose expansion phase, participants with locally advanced or metastatic TNBC or HGSOC will be treated with the preliminary RP2D identified from the dose exploration part of the study. Primary endpoints include the incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs),Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-related Adverse Events and the evaluation of the number of participants who experience a clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs, electrocardiogram and laboratory tests parameters. Secondary endpoints include Objective Response Rate, Duration of Response, Progression-free Survival, Clinical Benefit Rate, Time to Response, Time to Progression, Overall Survival (OS), Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of AMG 650, Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of AMG 650 as well as Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval for AMG 650. Continuous monitoring of toxicity is conducted. The study began enrolling pts in March 2020 and is ongoing.

11556 Background: Refractory and recurrent advanced pediatric solid tumors are short of effective treatment and with a dismal outcome, thus an urgent need for novel and effective treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib, a novel and oral multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in refractory or recurrent advanced pediatric solid tumors. Methods: The retrospective, single-institutional, observed study was conducted in Sun Yat-sen University cancer center in China. Refractory, recurrent, or advanced pediatric solid tumors patients treated with anlotinib between 2018 to 2020 were evaluated. Results: Forty-one patients and thirty patients were enrolled in the study to evaluated efficacy and safety, respectively. The objective response ratio (ORR) was 12.2% (95%CI 1.7-22.7): complete response (n = 0) and partial response (n = 5) (Table). The disease control rate (DCR) was 65.9% (95%CI 50.7-81). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.87 months (95%CI 0.86-4.88). According to anlotinib treatment schedule, all patients were divided into three groups: anlotinib monotherapy (A, n = 16), anlotinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment (A + ICI, n = 6), anlotinib combined with salvage chemotherapy (A + SC, n = 19). The ORR, DCR and median PFS for three groups were 6.3% (95%CI 7.1-19.6), 56.3% (95%CI 28.9-83.6), 2.43months, 16.7% (95%CI 26.2-59.5), 66.7% (95%CI 12.5-120.9), 1.13months, 15.8% (95%CI 2.3-33.8), 73.7% (95%CI 51.9-95.5), 2.87months, respectively. There was no significantly difference between three groups in aforementioned response index. The incidence rates of any grade and grade 3-4 adverse events were 80% and 20%, respectively. Bleeding (20%), hand-foot syndrome (13.3%), and diarrhea (13.3%) were the most common adverse events. Grade 3-4 adverse events include hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. There was no adverse events-related death. Conclusions: For heavily pretreated pediatric solid tumors, anlotinib may be an effective treatment with tolerable adverse events. Further prospective randomized controlled clinical study is warranted.[Table: see text]

AbstractIntroduction:In this report, we aim to present our algorithm and results of patients with congenital cardiac disorders who underwent surgical or interventional procedures during the peak phase of the pandemics in our country.Patients and methods:The first COVID-19 case was diagnosed in Turkey on 11 March, 2020, and the peak phase seemed to end by the end of April. All the patients whom were referred, treated, or previously operated but still at the hospital during the peak phase of COVID-19 pandemics in the country were included into this retrospective study. Patient’s diagnosis, interventions, adverse events, and early post-procedural courses were studied.Results:Thirty-one patients with various diagnoses of congenital cardiovascular disorders were retrospectively reviewed. Ages of the patients ranged between 2 days and 16 years. Seventeen cases were males and 14 cases were females. Elective cases were postponed. Priority was given to interventional procedures, and five cases were treated percutaneously. Palliative procedures were preferred in patients whom presumably would require long hospital stay. Corrective procedures were not hesitated in prioritised stable patients. Mortality occurred in one patient. Eight patients out of 151 ICU admissions were diagnosed with COVID-19, and they were transferred to COVID-19 ICU immediately. Three nurses whom also took care of the paediatric cases became infected with SARS-CoV-2; however, the children did not catch the disease.Conclusion:Mandatory and emergent congenital cardiac percutaneous and surgical procedures may be performed with similar postoperative risks as there are no pandemics with meticulous care and preventive measures.

BackgroundCOM701, a novel first-in-class immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) binds to poliovirus receptor related immunoglobulin domain containing (PVRIG) leading to enhanced activation of T and NK-cells. COM701 in combination with nivolumab has a favorable safety profile, is well tolerated and demonstrates antitumor activity.1 We hypothesized that the addition of BMS-986207 as a triplet thereby inhibiting the DNAM axis will have an acceptable safety/tolerability profile. We present preliminary results on safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters.MethodsUsing an accelerated titration and 3+3 study design we enrolled 14 patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Doses of COM701 were 0.3, 1, 3, 10 or 20 [mg/kg IV Q4 wks]; in combination with nivolumab and BMS-986207 (both 480 mg IV Q4 wks). Key objectives were to evaluate the safety and tolerability, to determine the recommended dose for expansion (RDFE) and to characterize preliminary pharmacokinetic parameters. Key inclusion criteria: Age ≥ 18 yrs, histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancy and has exhausted all available standard treatments. Key exclusion criteria: history of immune-related toxicities on prior immunotherapy treatment leading to discontinuation.ResultsIn the safety population [N=14], 12 pts reported treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). The most frequent TEAES [≥3 pts] were fatigue 5 pts (36%), pyrexia 3 pts (21%), vomiting 3 pts (21%). No DLTs were reported in any of the dose levels. The most frequent tumor types enrolled: CRC (n=3), and prostate, melanoma and OVCA/primary peritoneal cancer (n=2 each). Median number of prior therapies was 10 (range 1–19). Four pts had received prior immunotherapy. Serious adverse events [≥2 pts] were 2 pts (14%) with G3 abdominal pain, 2 pts (14%) with vomiting (1pt with G1/2 vomiting, 1 pt with G3 vomiting) all assessed by the investigator as unrelated to study drug. Preliminary PK profiles of COM701 were generally dose proportional.ConclusionsCOM701 in combination with BMS-986207 and nivolumab demonstrates a favorable safety, tolerability and PK profiles. COM701 20 mg/kg has been selected as the RDFE in combination with BMS-986207 and nivolumab (both 480 mg) all administered IV Q4 wks. The expansion cohorts are enrolling pts with platinum resistant ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer.
