Abstract Background PrabotulinumtoxinA is a 900-kDa botulinum toxin type A produced by Clostridium botulinum. Objectives The authors sought to investigate the safety of prabotulinumtoxinA for treatment of glabellar lines. Methods This was a multicenter, open-label, repeat-dose, 1-year phase II safety study. Adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines at maximum frown, as independently assessed by both investigator and patient on the validated 4-point photonumeric Glabellar Line Scale (0 = no lines, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe), were enrolled. On day 0, patients received an initial treatment (IT) of 20 U prabotulinumtoxinA (4 U/0.1 mL final vacuum-dried formulation injected into 5 glabellar sites). On and after day 90, patients received a repeat treatment (RT) if their Glabellar Line Scale score was ≥2 at maximum frown by investigator assessment. Safety outcomes were evaluated throughout the study. Results The 570 study patients received a median total dose of 60 U, that is, 3 treatments. Sixty-one patients (10.7%) experienced adverse events (AEs) assessed as possibly study drug related; 6.5% experienced study drug–related AEs after the IT. With each RT, progressively lower percentages of patients experienced study drug–related AEs. Eight patients (1.4%) experienced study drug–related AEs of special interest: 5 experienced eyelid ptosis (0.9%), 3 eyebrow ptosis (0.5%), 1 blepharospasm (0.2%), and 1 blurred vision (0.2%). Seven patients (1.2%) experienced serious AEs, but none were study drug related. A total of 4060 serum samples were tested for antibotulinum toxin antibodies; no seroconversion was observed. Conclusions The safety of RTs of 20 U of prabotulinumtoxinA for moderate to severe glabellar lines was confirmed in this second phase II study based on a broad range of outcomes.

On day 0, patients received an initial treatment of 20 U prabotulinumtoxinA (4 U/0.1 mL freeze-dried formulation injected into 5 target glabellar sites). On and after day 90, patients received a repeat treatment (RT) if their Glabellar Line Scale score was ≥2 at maximum frown by investigator assessment. Safety was evaluated throughout the study. Results The 352 study patients received a median total dose of 60 U, that is, 3 treatments per year. Fifty-one patients (14.5%) experienced adverse events (AEs) assessed as possibly study drug related; 11.1% experienced study drug-related AEs after the initial treatment. With each RT, progressively lower percentages of patients experienced study drug-related AEs. Six patients (1.7%) experienced study drug-related AEs of special interest: 3 eyelid ptosis (0.9%), 2 speech disorder (0.6%), and 1 blepharospasm (0.3%). Seven patients (2.0%) experienced serious AEs; none were study drug related. Of the 2393 samples tested, 2 patients (0.6%) tested positive for antibotulinum toxin antibodies at a single postbaseline visit. Conclusions The safety of RTs of 20 U of prabotulinumtoxinA for moderate to severe glabellar lines was first established in this early phase II study based on a broad range of outcomes.

Objective: PrabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs (Jeuveau), a botulinum toxin type A, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate-to-severe glabellar lines in February 2019. This article will review phase II and III clinical trials to assess the efficacy, safety, and clinical application of this novel, aesthetic-only drug. Data sources: A systematic literature review was performed using the terms “glabellar lines AND prabotulinumtoxinA” in the PubMed database. ClinicalTrials.gov was searched to identify nonpublished studies. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Articles written in English between November 2019 and June 2020 discussing phase II and phase III clinical trials were evaluated. Data Synthesis: By the primary efficacy end point on day 30, more patients achieved a greater than 2-point improvement on the Glabellar Line Scale (GLS) at maximum frown compared with baseline on day 0. The proportions of participants who responded to treatment with prabotulinumtoxinA were 67.5% and 70.4% versus 1.2% and 1.3% in placebo groups across 2 identical clinical trials ( P < 0.001). Patients receiving prabotulinumtoxinA experienced greater improvement in GLS at maximum frown on day 30 (87.2%) compared with onabotulinumtoxinA (82.8%) and placebo (4.2%; P < 0.001). PrabotulinumtoxinA was well tolerated across all studies. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: This review provides a detailed analysis of the safety and efficacy of prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs and includes special considerations to help guide patients and clinicians. Conclusion: PrabotulinumtoxinA is a safe and effective new addition to the repository of available treatments for the appearance of glabellar lines.

Abstract Rationale: 5-Azacytidine (Aza), a DNA hypomethylating agent, has now been shown in 2 clinical trials involving high-risk MDS patients to provide a survival benefit over supportive/conventional care regimens. While one phase II study used a continuous 7-day IV infusion, Aza was administered subcutaneously (SQ) in most pre-approval studies. However, injection site reactions are not uncommon with SQ dosing, especially in thrombocytopenic patients. Aza given as a short intravenous (IV) infusion is anticipated to be efficacious from pharmacokinetic profiling and is FDA approved, but prospective efficacy data for short IV infusion are lacking. Study aim and design: To determine the efficacy of IV Aza when given as a short infusion, we have undertaken an open-label, single-arm, single-center phase II study of Aza in patients with MDS, either de novo or secondary, defined by FAB classification. Previously treated subjects were ineligible if they had already received Aza or decitabine. Treatment consisted of Aza 75 mg/m2 given as a 20 minute IV infusion once daily on Days 1–5 of a 28-day cycle. Response was evaluated by IWG 2000 criteria. After two cycles at the 75 mg/m2 dose, patients failing to achieve a CR were eligible for an increased dose of 100 mg/m2. After 6 cycles of therapy, patients must have demonstrated at least a hematologic improvement to continue on study. Study endpoints include determination of the complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rates, and secondary endpoints examined the rates of hematological improvement, time to progression, and cytogenetic response. Results: Accrual began 8/17/06 with a target of 21 subjects. As of 7/31/07, 15 subjects have accrued with a median follow-up of 77 days (range 4 to 246). Subjects consisted of 9 males and 6 females with a median age of 69.6 yr (range 53 to 82). The median time from diagnosis is 213 days (range 0 days to 4 yr). By FAB criteria, subjects consist of 4 RA, 9 RAEB, 1 RAEB-t, and 1 CMML, and subjects are categorized by IPSS risk as 1 Low, 4 Int-1, and 10 Int-2. Two patients had therapy related MDS. The data remain preliminary with subjects having completed a mean of 3 cycles (range 1 to 6). None of the 5 subjects who have completed at least 4 cycles of therapy have achieved a CR. However, 2 (40%) of these subjects achieved a PR. Additionally, 1 (20%) patient had a major erythroid response, while another had a minor erythroid response. Median time to response was 2 months. Ten subjects remain on study, 1 patient withdrew due to progressive disease (in first week of therapy), and 4 deaths have occurred on study (2 due to sepsis, 1 each due to pneumonia and acute MI). No deaths were attributed to study drug. Common adverse events include nausea, emesis, and hematologic toxicities. Grade 2–3 nausea and grade 2–3 emesis each occurred in 5 subjects. Observed grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities included: anemia (n=7), thrombocytopenia (n=4), leukopenia (n=3), neutropenia (n=7), and febrile neutropenia (n=1). Hematologic toxicities have resulted in transient treatment delays (&lt; 4 weeks) and dose reduction, but hematologic toxicities have not prevented subsequent treatment on study. Conclusions: Although follow-up is short for assessment of efficacy, this is the first prospective study to report on efficacy and toxicity of short infusional Aza in the treatment of MDS.

8535 Background: Mocetinostat (MGCD0103) is an orally available, isotype-selective, non-hydroxamate HDAC inhibitor targeting HDACs 1,2, 3 and 11 with single-agent activity in Hodgkin’s lymphoma and in AML and MDS (in combination with 5-azacitidine). More than 430 patients have been treated to date. Methods: This open-label, phase II trial enrolled patients with DLBCL and FL. Patients received mocetinostat at doses ranging from 70-110 mg 3x/wk every 28 days. Anticancer activity, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were evaluated. Results: Sixty-nine patients with DLBCL (n=41) and FL (n=28) were enrolled for treatment at starting doses of 85-110 mg. Median age was 62 years (range: 32 to 81). Median duration of treatment was ~3 months (range: <1 to 24). Objective response rate in DLBCL and FL, respectively, was 7/41 (17%; including 2 unconfirmed PRs) and 3/28 (11%; including 1 CR). Median time to response was 2.0 mos (range 1.7-21.0) and 5.3 mos (range 4.3-6.0) respectively. Stable disease was achieved by 13/41 (32%) and 14/28 (50%), respectively, for a disease control rate of 49% and 61%, respectively. Mean duration of SD in patients with DBLCL was ~4.5 mos (range 2-12 mos), with 10 patients remaining stable for ≥3 mos. Among FL patients, mean duration of SD was approximately 4.1 mos (range 1.7-13 mos), with 9 patients remaining stable for ≥3 mos. The FL CR occurred in a 62-year-old female with paratracheal, subcarinal and portal target lesions who achieved a PR after 4 cycles and CR after 12 cycles that persisted through the remaining 4 mos on study. Study drug was discontinued for adverse events in 19/69 (28%). Fatigue, weight loss or anorexia were most common (n=4 each). A total of 26 drug-related SAEs were reported among 12 patients (17%; 1-6 events per pt). There were no drug related deaths. Enrollment is complete and final data will be presented. Conclusions: Single-agent mocetinostat has activity in DLBCL and FL. Fatigue, gastrointestinal, and cardiac symptoms are the most common adverse events resulting in discontinuation of dosing. Based on the acceptable tolerability and clinical activity further development is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT00359086.

7043 Background: The RTK AXL represents a therapeutic target promoting AML cell proliferation and survival by pleiotropic mechanisms and is a negative regulator of anti-tumour immunity. Bemcentinib is a first-in-class, highly selective, oral AXL inhibitor that has previously shown encouraging anti-leukaemic activity as a monotherapy in r/r AML and hr-MDS. Methods: A monotherapy dose-escalation and expansion part of this trial is complete. In this second, phase II part of the study, 11 and 15 AML pts unfit for intensive chemotherapy received bemcentinib at RP2D (200 mg po/d) in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) and decitabine, respectively. Median age was 77 yr (range: 50-83), median screen myeloblast count 39% (3-95%) and 2/19 (11%) of pts evaluable for FLT3 were FLT3+. Plasma protein biomarker levels were measured using the DiscoveryMap v3.3 panel (Myriad RBM) at screen and following treatment. Results: The most common TRAEs (≥ 15% of pts) were ECG QT prolongation (35%) and diarrhoea (15%). Among these, 3 were Grade 3, and none 4 or 5. All TRAEs were manageable and/or reversible. As of Feb ‘19, 9 pts (2 de novo, 1 secondary, 6 r/r) in the bemcentinib + LDAC group were evaluable for response and 4 (44%; 2 de novo + 2 relapsed) achieved rapid CRi at C2D1. Responses were durable (range: 7 – 11 cycles) in 3 of the 4 responders. A further 2 pts (22%, 1 secondary + 1 relapsed) achieved durable SD (5 and 6 cycles). mPFS among the 5 pts with durable CRi or SD was 5 months (range: 3.5-7.7). Further, at the time of writing, 11 pts (8 de novo, 3 r/r) in the bemcentinib + decitabine group were evaluable for response of which 4 (36%, all de novo) achieved CRi after ≥ 4 cycles. One additional de novo pt achieved durable SD lasting for 5 cycles. Conclusions: Bemcentinib in combination with LDAC exerted early durable responses in patients with both de novo and relapsed AML whilst the combination of bemcentinib + decitabine exerted comparably fewer and later responses in de novo AML. Soluble biomarker correlations will be presented at the meeting. Both combinations were generally well-tolerated and further exploration is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02488408.

TPS271 Background: Overall survival of men with de novo metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) is improved by treatment intensification with docetaxel and hormone therapy compared to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone. However, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) invariably develops. Reprogramming the immune system in the mHSPC setting is a novel approach to delay progression to CRPC. In the hormone-sensitive setting, ADT induces a robust and functional immune infiltrate into the tumor microenvironment (TME), with upregulation of immune checkpoint molecules (PD-1 and PD-L1). These effects diminish as castration resistance emerges. Docetaxel causes immunogenic tumor cell death and stimulates antigen presentation. We hypothesize that leveraging the immunogenic effects of ADT with PD-1 blockade and docetaxel will promote antitumor immune killing and improve clinical outcomes. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, phase II study of ADT, cemiplimab, and docetaxel in patients with de novo mHSPC (N=20). Subjects will receive continuous ADT, followed by a two-cycle lead-in of cemiplimab prior to the standard six cycles of docetaxel. Cemiplimab will be continued q3weeks for one year or until disease progression or intolerable side effect. The primary endpoint is undetectable PSA at 6 months. Secondary endpoints include time to development of CRPC and radiographic response. Subjects will be monitored for toxicity using a Bayesian adaptive study design with an early stopping rule for toxicity. Correlative studies will determine the effects of ADT and PD-1 blockade on the TME by comparing baseline and on-treatment biopsies using transcriptional data from single-cell RNA-sequencing and standard immunohistochemistry (IHC). Serum samples will also be collected to quantify the effects of therapy on circulating levels of immunosuppressive cytokines. The study is open with 3 patients currently enrolled at the time of submission. Clinical trial information: NCT03951831.

7106 Background: E7389, a synthetic analog of halichondrin B that was isolated from a marine sponge, has broad anti-proliferative activity at nanomolar levels and a unique profile of tubulin interactions. Methods: This is an open-label, single-arm, stratified phase II study of E7389 in patients with measurable, recurrent and/or metastatic NSCLC who progressed during or after platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. E7389 (1.4 mg/m2) was administered as a bolus IV on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle to 72 patients (cohort 1) in stratum I (55 taxane pretreated patients) and stratum II (17 taxane-naive patients) and on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle (cohort 2), providing an additional 22 patients in stratum I. The primary efficacy endpoint was objective response rate to E7389 monotherapy. Results: As of 9 December 2005, 94 evaluable patients received E7389. Nineteen tumors were classified as squamous cell carcinomas, 39 as adenocarcinomas, and 36 were large cell carcinomas or unclassified. The median number of cycles completed was 3. Fifteen patients completed 6 or more cycles and 75 patients underwent tumor assessments after cycle 2. Major toxicities related to study drug included myelosuppression, nausea, fatigue, dehydration, arthralgias, dyspnea, and peripheral neuropathy. Based on RECIST criteria, 6 partial responses (PR) were observed among 94 evaluable patients (PR rate = 6.4%, 95% CI: 2.8%, 12.8%). For 33 patients the best response was stable disease (SD rate = 35.1%, 95% CI: 25.5%, 45.1%). Disease control rate (PR + SD) was 41.5% (95% CI: 31.4%, 51.7%). For cohort 1, the 12-week progression free survival rate was 57.2%. As of 9 December 2005, median PFS time was 108 days (95% CI = 55, min-max = 1–239+). Cohort 2 is being followed to estimate their 12-week PFS. The correlation of beta tubulin isotype, stathmin, microtubule-associated protein 4 (MAP4) and tau protein mRNA expression with tumor responses is on-going. Conclusions: Based on this data, E7389 has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of NSCLC patients. Updated information and results of molecular correlations of responses will be presented. [Table: see text]
