Abstract BACKGROUND GSK3β serine/threonine kinase regulates metabolism and glycogen biosynthesis. GSK3β overexpression promotes tumor progression and resistance through NF-κB and p53 apoptotic pathways. GSK3β inhibits immunomodulation by downregulating checkpoints, e.g. PD-L1 and LAG-3, and increasing NK and T-cell mediated tumor killing. 9-ING-41 is a small-molecule, potent, selective GSK3β inhibitor with preclinical activity. In chemoresistant PDX glioblastoma models, 9-ING-41 enhanced lomustine antitumor effect. METHODS Patients with refractory malignancies were treated with 9-ING-41 monotherapy (n=65) or combined with 8 cytotoxic regimens after prior exposure (n=162) in the first-in-human study (NCT03678883). The recurrent gliomas subset was treated with 9-ING-41 monotherapy IV TIW q21day cycles at 3.3, 5, 9.3, 15mg/kg, or combined with lomustine 30 mg/m² PO weekly q84day cycles. Primary objective was safety and tolerability. RESULTS An RP2D of 15mg/kg IV TIW was confirmed across all 9 regimens, no accentuation of chemotherapy toxicity noted. Of 18 glioma patients enrolled, 13 were glioblastoma, 2 anaplastic astrocytomas, 1 anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and 1 diffuse astrocytoma; 6 female, 12 male; median age 52 (30-69) years; median ECOG was 1 (0-2). All received initial radiation and temozolomide (18/18), prior salvage therapies included nitrosoureas (15/18), bevacizumab (8/18), TTFields (6/18), checkpoint inhibitor (4/18). Median recurrences 3 (1-6). NGS alterations included: IDH/wildtype (11), IDH/mutation(3); 1p19q/codeletion(10); MGMT/unmethylated(11), MGMT/methylated(1); EGFR/amplification(6), EGFR/v3mutation(3), TERT/mutation(6), PTEN/loss(3), NF1/rearrangement(2), ATRX/loss (2), TP53/mutation(4), CDKN2A/deletion(2), RB1/loss(1), PALB2/mutation(10). Four patients received 9-ING-41 monotherapy, 14 concurrently treated with lomustine. No SAEs or grade 3/4 AEs attributed to 9-ING-41 noted, only G1/2 vision changes (9/18, 50%), infusion reactions (4/18, 22%). Lomustine-related toxicities included G3/4 thrombocytopenia (3/14, 21%), and G1/2 fatigue (4/14, 28%). Median therapy duration was 55 (4-305); 1 partial response ( >50%) noted with 9-ING-41/lomustine. Median PFS and OS were 1.9 (0.3-11.1) and 6.0 (1.6-16.6) months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS 9-ING-41 plus/minus lomustine is safe and warrants further study in glioma patients.

2051 Background: GSK-3β, a serine/threonine kinase, is a key regulator of metabolism and glycogen biosynthesis. GSK-3β aberrant overexpression promotes tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance through NF-κB and p53-mediated apoptotic pathways. GSK-3β inhibition impacts immunomodulation through downregulation of checkpoints, such as PD-L1 and LAG-3, and increasing NK and T-cell mediated killing of tumor cells. 9-ING-41 is a small-molecule potent selective GSK-3β inhibitor with preclinical antitumor activity against several tumor types. In chemoresistant PDX models of glioblastoma (GBM), 9-ING-41 enhanced the antitumor effect of CCNU and CPT-11. Methods: In the first-in-human study (NCT03678883), patients (pts) with refractory malignancies received 9-ING-41 monotherapy (n = 65) or in combination with one of 8 cytotoxic regimens after prior treatment with the same chemotherapy (n = 162). We report the subset of pts with recurrent gliomas treated with 9-ING-41 monotherapy IV twice a week in 21-day cycles at different dose levels (3.3, 5, 9.3, 15mg/kg), or in combination with lomustine 30 mg/m² orally once weekly in 84-day cycles. Primary objective was safety and tolerability. Results: An RP2D of 15mg/kg IV was confirmed across all 9 regimens, no accentuation of chemotherapy-related toxicity noted. Of 18 glioma patients enrolled, 13 were GBM, 2 anaplastic astrocytomas, 1 diffuse astrocytoma, and 1 anaplastic oligodendroglioma. Four patients received single agent 9-ING-41, 14 treated concurrently with lomustine. Demographics: 6 female, 12 male; median age 52 (30-69) years; median ECOG was 1 (0-2). All received first-line radiation and temozolomide (18/18), prior therapies for recurrences included nitrosoureas (15/18), bevacizumab (8/18), TTFields (6/18), immune checkpoint inhibitor (4/18). Median recurrences 3 (1-6). Genomic alterations from available NGS reports included: IDH WT (11), IDH mutation (3), MGMT promoter unmethylated (11), MGMT promoter methylated (1), 1p19q co-deletion (10), EGFR amplification (6), EGFR v3 mutation (3), TERT promoter mutation (6), PTEN loss (3), NF1 rearrangement (2), ATRX loss (2), TP53 mutated (4), CDKN2A deletion (2), RB1 loss (1), PALB-2 mutation (10). No SAEs or grade 3/4 AEs attributed to 9-ING-41 were noted; AEs included G1/2 transient vision changes (9/18, 50%), infusion reactions (4/18, 22%). Side effects from lomustine included: G3/4 thrombocytopenia (3/14, 21%), and G1/2 fatigue (4/14, 28%). Best overall response: 1 minimal response (-43%) after 2 cycles of 9-ING-41 and lomustine. Median days on therapy was 55 (4-305), 4/18 (22%) were stable for 20 weeks or longer. Conclusions: These results show 9-ING-41 alone or in combination is safe and warrants further study in glioma patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03678883.

3507 Background: Overexpression of GSK-3β, a serine/threonine kinase, is associated with advanced stage malignancies, aggressive tumor growth, and chemotherapy resistance. 9-ING-41 is a GSK-3β inhibitor with significant broad spectrum pre-clinical antitumor activity, including chemotherapy-resistant models. This first-in-human study (NCT03678883) is evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of 9-ING-41 monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy in patients (pts) with refractory malignancies. Methods: 9-ING-41 is given intravenously (IV) twice-weekly as a single-agent (21-day cycle) or combined with gemcitabine, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin, carboplatin/paclitaxel, doxorubicin, lomustine or irinotecan in patients previously treated with the same chemotherapy. Results: As of Jan 2020, 101 pts were enrolled. Tumor types: 25 pancreatic (PDAC), 14 colorectal (CRC), 10 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 8 GBM and other gliomas, 7 melanoma, 5 appendiceal, 4 breast (BC), 30 others. Seven single agent dose levels (DL) completed (1, 2, 3.3, 5, 7, 9.3, 12.4 mg/kg) without any 9-ING-41-attributable SAEs. 9-ING-41 attributable AEs include: transient visual change (color perception; n = 29), starting at DL 3 (3.3mg/kg), all G1/2; infusion reactions (n = 14), all G1/2, starting at DL 5 (7mg/kg). 9-ING-41’s mean terminal half-life is 12-20 hrs. Cmax and AUC0-72, are dose proportional with no accumulation. One BRAFV600K-mutated melanoma with > 20 brain metastases, post checkpoint/BRAF/MEK failure has an ongoing CR starting at cycle 2 and sustained after 9 months on treatment. 32 (31%) pts had SD as best response (6 PDAC, 6 CRC, 3 appendiceal, 2 BC, 2 salivary gland, 2 melanoma, 1 Merkel cell, 2 GBM/glioma, 1 RCC, 1 HCC, 1 NSCLC, 1 esophageal, 1 parotid gland, 1 nasopharyngeal, 1 peritoneal, 1 T cell-ALL). 8 pts remained on study treatment > 5 months (1 melanoma, 3 PDAC, 1 appendiceal, 1 GBM, 1 peritoneal, 1 salivary gland) with median treatment duration of 198 days (range 163-261). 32 pts continue to receive 9-ING-41. Conclusions: 9-ING-41 has dose-proportional PK, is well tolerated with significant antitumor activity as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy in pts with refractory tumors. 1 ongoing CR was observed in a refractory BRAF-mutated melanoma. A biologically active dose has been reached, although MTD has not been determined. Enrollment is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03678883 .

202 Background: Cabazitaxel and prednisone (Cbz/pred) extend survival in mCRPC patients (pts) following docetaxel and first-line studies comparing Cbz to docetaxel are ongoing. Mito/pred also has anti-tumor activity in mCRPC and a non-overlapping mechanism of action and toxicity profile with Cbz. A multicenter phase 1 trial was initiated to establish the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of Cbz, Mito, and Pred(CAMP). Methods: Chemotherapy (chemo)-naive pts with mCRPC were enrolled in an accelerated titration design. The primary objective was to determine the MTD and RP2D of CAMP; secondary objectives included PSA response rate and duration of response. Cbz 20 and 25 mg/m2 were evaluated in combination with escalating doses of Mito (starting dose 4 mg/m2), both administered on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Pred 5 mg BID and pegfilgrastim were given with each cycle. Results: 23 pts were enrolled. The median age was 66 (range 51-78) and the median baseline PSA was 62.5 (range 3-791.2). There were 2 DLTs (sepsis and febrile neutropenia) observed at the dose level of Cbz 25 mg/m2 + Mito 10 mg/m2 (n = 4). There was 1 DLT (febrile neutropenia) observed with Cbz 20 mg/m2 (N = 12), establishing Cbz 20 mg/m2 + Mito 12 mg/m2 as the MTD and RP2D. The most common grade ³ 3 related adverse events were hematologic (neutropenia, n = 9; thrombocytopenia, n = 3; febrile neutropenia, n = 3). The median number of treatment cycles was 7.5 (range 2-16), and 2 pts remain on study. Greater than or equal to 50% maximal PSA declines from baseline were observed in 12 of 19 evaluable pts(63%). The median duration of response has not been reached (range 4.9-10.0+ months). Conclusions: The approved single-agent dose of Mito (12 mg/m2) was safely combined with Cbz 20 mg/m2, a dose with demonstrated activity in mCRPC and potentially less hematologic toxicity than 25 mg/m2. Preliminary efficacy data are encouraging with durable control of disease observed in a subset of pts. Further study of the treatment combination is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01594918.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy. This disease remains incurable as nearly all patients will relapse and become refractory to established MM therapy. Thus, new treatment option for relapsed or refractory (R/R) MM is needed, particularly those with different mechanisms of action. One such approach is to inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) and produce synergistic anti-myeloma activity via mechanisms of epigenetic modulations. In 2015, panobinostat was approved by US FDA as the first HDACi to treat R/R MM in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Bisthianostat is a novel bisthiazole-based HDACi evolved from the thiazole-thiazoline cap group in natural product Largazole (Nan et al., ACS Med Chem Lett. 2014). It is orally available and displayed inhibition against a series of MM cell lines. Here we presented preliminary in-human findings from CH-020PI study, an ongoing phase 1 study of bisthianostat. (Trial registered at ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT03618602) Methods: CH-020PI is a first-in-human study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of bisthianostat in R/R MM patients. It is a single center, open-label, single arm, dose escalating phase I study. A standard 3+3 cohort design with 100mg as the starting dose was used to determine the maximum tolerated dose of bisthianostat. This study comprised two phases: a pharmacokinetics phase and an expansion phase. In the pharmacokinetics phase, a single-dose of bisthianostat was administered on day 1, and then multiple-dose was administered on a twice-weekly schedule for 4 consecutive weeks. Patients in the expansion phase received continuous bisthianostat twice weekly until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicities. Results: Until 30 June 2019, 8 patients were enrolled at 3 dose levels from 100 to 400mg. The median age at enrollment was 62 years (range, 51-70 years). The median number of previous lines of therapy was 5 (range, 2-6). Per protocol, all of 8 patients were evaluable for pharmacokinetics, toxicities and efficacy. In the pharmacokinetic evaluation, for all the 8 patients tested at day 1, the peak concentration of bisthianostat was reached within 2.3 hours; half life time were around 4 hours; bisthianostat uptake represented by AUClast were in good proportion to the level of dose as 100, 200 and 400mg, respectively. Similar results were observed at day 28. Any grade hematological treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 4 of 8 patients (50%), while grade 3/4 hematological AEs occurred in 2 (25%) patients. Any grade non-hematological treatment-emergent AEs were observed in 3 (37.5%) patients; no grade 3/4 non-hematological AEs were reported. No patient discontinued the treatment of bisthianostat due to AEs. Except patient 007 (200mg cohort) experienced a grade 2 nausea, no patients experienced diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. It is worthy to note that gastrointestinal toxicity is common with the use of panobinostat, a FDA-approved HDAC inhibitor. Overall single-agent efficacy was modest, and stable disease (SD) was observed in 4 (50%) patients. At the time of data cut-off for statistical analysis, no dose-limiting toxicity has been observed. Conclusions: Bisthianostat proved to be well absorbed and tolerated. It exhibited modest anti-tumor efficacy in our cohort of heavily pretreated patients with R/R MM. This phase I clinical trial is currently ongoing, and future trials should compare different doses and schedules of the combination in order to optimize the treatment tolerability and enhance its efficacy.

The efficacy of melphalan (MEL) 140 mg/m2 pre-transplant conditioning versus MEL 200 mg/m2 for the elderly is still debated. We hypothesized that single-agent intravenous busulfan (BU) would show significant anti-myeloma efficacy and be better tolerated by elderly patients. A prospective 3+3 dose escalation study enrolled symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) patients 65 years or older with SWOG performance 0–2 for treatment with intravenous BU pre-transplant at different administration levels. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BU that could be safely given over the least number of days. All patients, except one, received maintenance treatment post-transplant, mostly for 2 years. We enrolled 13 patients, mean age of 73 years (range 68–80). Pharmacokinetic analysis showed no greater than 2% accumulation in the 13 patients, confirming a lack of accumulation in the multi-dose regimen. No deaths occurred in the peri-transplant period. Grade 3/4 adverse effects were hematological, no dose-limiting toxicity was observed and MTD was not reached. Three patients developed grade 3 mucositis but none developed veno-occlusive disease. Ten (77%) patients achieved a complete remission (CR) post-transplant with a remarkably long average time to best response of 6.7 months (range: 6–14 m), and two attained a partial response. Median overall survival was 84 months (95% CI, 21–104) and the median progression-free survival was 60 months (95% CI, 9–93). Our results suggest that IV BU could be an alternative conditioning regimen to MEL 140 in elderly patients with MM, and supports future randomized trials.

5009 Background: Preclinical and phase 1 results suggest PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibition may enhance androgen receptor inhibition. We report the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized Phase 1b/2 study of ENZ±LY (a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) in pts with mCRPC who progressed on abiraterone. Methods: Phase 1b pts received single-agent LY 200 mg twice daily (BID) for 1 wk prior to starting LY+ENZ. Phase 2 pts were randomized 1:1 to 160 mg daily ENZ with PL or 200 mg BID LY on a 28-d cycle. The primary objective was progression-free survival (PFS: serological, radiographic [rPFS], or death) by PCWG2 criteria. Secondary objectives were rPFS, safety, decline in PSA, and PK. Exploratory biomarker analyses included outcomes by presence of androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7). 92 primary PFS events were needed for the study to have at least 80% power at one-sided alpha=0.20. Results: LY+ENZ was tolerable during Phase 1b with 1 dose limiting toxicity observed in 13 enrolled pts. Mean LY exposures remained in an efficacious range despite a 30% average decrease when combined with ENZ. In Phase 2, 129 pts were randomized to LY+ENZ (N=65) and PL+ENZ (N=64) (Table). Median PCWG2-PFS was 3.7 mos (LY+ENZ) vs 2.9 mos (PL+ENZ) (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.43, 0.99; p-value 0.0208). Conclusions: Combination LY+ENZ had a clinically manageable safety profile. The primary end-point of PCWG2-PFS was met and is supported by a clinically meaningful delay in rPFS in AR-V7 negative pts. The biomarker data provide important insights to inform future development strategies. Clinical trial information: NCT02407054. [Table: see text]

3073 Background: Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an epigenetic enzyme that is aberrantly expressed in many solid tumors. High levels of LSD1 expression are often correlated with poor patient prognosis due to LSD1’s role in cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Seclidemstat is a novel, selective, reversible and oral LSD1 inhibitor capable of inhibiting both LSD1’s catalytic and scaffolding functions. We report preliminary efficacy in AST from an ongoing phase 1 trial. Methods: SALA-003-AC19 (NCT03895684) is a phase 1 trial of single agent SP-2577 in pts with AST. All pts had progressive disease (PD) at time of study entry. Pts received oral SP-2577 twice a day under fasting condition, in 28-day cycles (C). The primary objective is safety and tolerability. Secondary objectives are to determine maximum-tolerated dose, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Results: As of December 30, 2020, 19 pts with AST (10 sarcoma, 2 prostate, 2 ovarian, 2 pancreatic, 1 renal, 1 cervical, 1 breast) were enrolled. Pts received escalating doses of SP-2577 from 150 to 600 mg BID and the dose escalation is ongoing. The median age was 63 years (range, 21–79). 42% were male, and pts had received a median of 4 (range, 1–8) prior systemic therapies. The most common (>5%) grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were GI related including diarrhea (5.3%) and abdominal pain (5.3%). No grade 4 events were reported and there were no treatment-related deaths. Safety data will be presented after completion of phase 1. Three pts had at least one dose reduction. Among the 13 pts who were evaluable for response at end of C2, 7 pts (54%) had best response of stable disease (SD) with median time to progression (TTP) of 4.3 months (range, 2.1–11.5). Four of the 7 pts had genetic abnormalities that may demonstrate increased sensitization to SP-2577 according to preclinical studies. Characteristics of 7 pts with SD at C2 and beyond are shown in the table. Conclusions: Seclidemstat has shown activity among advanced sarcoma pts with a manageable safety profile. The dose escalation is ongoing and preliminary clinical data supports further exploration in FET-translocated sarcoma as single agent and in combination therapy.

Abstract Introduction Thrombocytopenia remains a critical management challenge for MDS pts. The outcome of MDS Pts after HMA failure is poor. Eltrombopag is an oral, small non-peptide thormbopoeitin (TPO) receptor agonist. It has biologically distinct effects in part to its binding site on the TPO receptor that is distinct from that for native TPO and other synthetic agonists. We conducted an investigator initiated study with eltrombopag in MDS pts with thrombocytopenia after HMA failure. Methods The study is a phase 1, dose escalation design. Pts are allocated to dose cohorts of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300mg/day. Each dose cohort includes 6 pts. Key eligibility criteria include confirmed diagnosis of MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 20-30% myeloblasts. Pts must have at least one prior HMA treatment. The mean platelet count within a month of enrollment must be ≤ 50 X 109 /L. Key exclusions include splenic enlargement > 8 cm, bone marrow fibrosis ≥ grade 3, and prior TPO agonist use. The primary objective of the study is to determine the MTD. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as treatment related non-hematological grade 3-4 toxicity. If no DLTs were observed during the first 2 cycles of therapy, the next cohort of patients receives a higher dose of eltrombopag. Pts who did not receive treatment for 8 weeks were replaced for DLT assessment. The secondary endpoints include response, overall survival (OS) and leukemia free survival (LFS). Results Thirty-one pts were enrolled. Table-1 summarizes baseline characteristics. Most pts had higher risk MDS who were heavily pretreated. The median interval from MDS diagnosis was 28 months. Six pts were enrolled in cohort 1 (50 mg), 10 pts in cohort 2 (100 mg) (4 pts replaced (2 deaths unrelated to treatment, 1 infection, 1 progressive disease (PD)), 12 pts were enrolled in cohort 3 (150 mg) where 6 pts were replaced (5 PD and 1 infection), and to date, 3 pts are enrolled in cohort 4 (200 mg). No protocol defined DLT have been encountered to date. No grade 3 or 4 treatment related adverse events have been reported. The most common adverse events that were deemed possibly, or probably related to study drug included fatigue (n=9), diarrhea (n=6), night sweats (n=3), headache (n=3), numbness (n=3). There were 2 pts with grade 2 pneumonia and grade 3 fatigue, and 2 grade 2 diarrhea events. Seven pts (23%) developed leukocytosis on treatment and 13 pts (42%) experienced an increase in circulating myeloblasts at some point during study treatment. Three of 27 pts developed higher grade bone marrow myelofibrosis (change from grade 0-1 to grade 2-3), one of whom received the 50 mg dose and 2 pts on the150 mg dose. Eleven pts (35%) progressed to AML, 9 out of 11 patients who progressed had RAEB-2 or RAEB-t and 5 had poor risk cytogenetics. The median follow up duration is 23 months. The best response on study per IWG 2006 criteria include marrow CR (mCR) + Hematological improvement (HI) (6%, n=2), mCR (3%, n=1), HI (13%, n=4), stable disease (SD) (29%, n=9), PD (36%, n=11) and not evaluable for response (13%, n=4). The overall response rate (HI+) was 22% (7 out 31 pts) and 26% among pts evaluable for response (7 out of 27 pts). HI included 6 platelet responses and 1 erythroid response. Among 20 pts who were platelet transfusion dependent, 6 became transfusion independent (30%). The median duration of response was 3.3 months. The median duration of treatment is 2 months. The most common reasons for eltrombopag discontinuation were PD (48%) and infection (10%). Median OS was 5 months whereas median OS was 8 months among HI+ responders. The median LFS was 3.5 months. Conclusions Eltrombopag yielded modest responses in heavily treated higher risk MDS pts after HMA failure. Leukocytosis, increased circulating myeloblasts and myelofibrosis were observed in subsets of pts. Future development of eltrombopag as a single agent in MDS should be in lower risk MDS or in combination with HMA in higher risk MDS. Disclosures: Off Label Use: Use of eltrombopag in MDS.

TPS3149 Background: Dependence of cancer cells on glutamine has made glutaminolysis an attractive therapeutic target in cancer. Prior clinical trials evaluating glutamine analogues for the treatment of cancer were abandoned due to lack of efficacy and/or tolerability. DON (6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine) is an irreversible inhibitor of several enzymes that utilize glutamine as a metabolic substrate. In addition to direct anti-tumor efficacy, inhibition of glutamine metabolism in the tumor microenvironment has been shown to improve T-cell activation and tumor infiltration, increasing anti-tumor immune responses. As such, combining DON with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), has strong preclinical rationale. The investigational product DRP-104 (sirpiglenastat) is an inactive prodrug of DON designed to limit systemic DON exposure while targeting glutamine dependence in tumor cells. Methods: A phase 1/2a, FIH, multi-center, non-randomized, multi-cohort, open-label study of DRP-104 is currently open to accrual for patients with advanced solid tumors. This study will be conducted in 4 parts: A) Dose Escalation of IV and subQ DRP-104 (Run-In phase followed by modified Continual Reassessment Method) to define MTD/RP2D. Primary objective of dose escalation is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of DRP-104 as a single agent; B) Dose Expansion of IV and subQ DRP-104 for safety assessment while primary objective is to select and recommend phase 2 DRP-104 route of administration; C) Phase 2a at recommended MTD/RP2D of selected route of DRP-104 in 2 patient cohorts: patients with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC with KEAP1, NFE2L2 and/or STK11 mutation and patients with unresectable or metastatic SCCHN, in order to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of DRP-104 as a single agent; D) Phase 2a at recommended MTD/RP2D of selected route of DRP-104 in combination with atezolizumab in adult patients with advanced solid tumors previously treated with an ICI, in order to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of DRP-104 in combination with atezolizumab; DRP-104 IV is infused TIW over 1 hour infusion for 2 consecutive weeks followed by 1 week off. DRP-104 subQ is administered BIW weekly. Study is currently open with 6 IV patients (Run-In Phase completed and at Dose Level 4) and 3 subQ patients at Dose Level 1 at time of submission. Clinical trial information: NCT04471415.
