BackgroundThe programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis plays a central role in suppressing antitumor immunity; axis dysregulation can be used by cancer cells to evade the immune system. Tislelizumab, an investigational monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity for PD-1, was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages to limit antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a potential mechanism of resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. The aim of this phase IA/IB study was to investigate the safety/tolerability, antitumor effects and optimal dose and schedule of tislelizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.MethodsPatients (aged ≥18 years) enrolled in phase IA received intravenous tislelizumab 0.5, 2, 5 or 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks; 2 or 5 mg/kg administered every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks; or 200 mg every 3 weeks; patients in phase IB received 5 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Primary objectives were to assess tislelizumab’s safety/tolerability profile by adverse event (AE) monitoring and antitumor activity using RECIST V.1.1. PD-L1 expression was assessed retrospectively with the VENTANA PD-L1 (SP263) Assay.ResultsBetween May 2015 and October 2017, 451 patients (n=116, IA; n=335, IB) were enrolled. Fatigue (28%), nausea (25%) and decreased appetite (20%) were the most commonly reported AEs. Most AEs were grade 1–2 severity; anemia (4.9%) was the most common grade 3–4 AE. Treatment-related AEs led to discontinuation in 5.3% of patients. Grade 5 AEs were reported in 14 patients; 2 were considered related to tislelizumab. Pneumonitis (2%) and colitis (1%) were the most common serious tislelizumab-related AEs. As of May 2019, 18% of patients achieved a confirmed objective response in phase IA and 12% in phase IB; median follow-up duration was 13.6 and 7.6 months, respectively. Pharmacokinetics, safety and antitumor activity obtained from both phase IA and IB determined the tislelizumab recommended dose; ultimately, tislelizumab 200 mg intravenous every 3 weeks was the dose and schedule recommended to be taken into subsequent clinical trials.ConclusionsTislelizumab monotherapy demonstrated an acceptable safety/tolerability profile. Durable responses were observed in heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors, supporting the evaluation of tislelizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks, as monotherapy and in combination therapy, for the treatment of solid tumors and hematological malignancies.Trial registration numberNCT02407990.

BackgroundTislelizumab is an investigational, humanized, IgG4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity for programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) that was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages in order to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy.MethodsThe purpose of this phase 1/2, open-label, non-comparative study was to examine the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of tislelizumab in adult (≥18 years) Chinese patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors with measurable disease. The phase 1 portion of the study consisted of a dose-verification study and a pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy; phase 2 was an indication-expansion study including 11 solid tumor cohorts. Patients previously treated with therapies targeting PD-1 or its ligand, programmed cell death ligand-1 were excluded. During dose-verification, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were monitored; safety and tolerability were examined and the previously determined recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was verified. The primary endpoint of phase 2 was investigator-assessed objective response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors V.1.1.ResultsAs of December 1, 2018, 300 patients were treated with tislelizumab 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks (Q3W). Median duration of follow-up was 8.1 months (range 0.2–21.9). No DLTs were reported during the phase 1 dose-verification study and the RP2D was confirmed to be 200 mg intravenously Q3W. Most treatment-related adverse events (62%) were grade 1 or 2, with the most common being anemia (n=70; 23%) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (n=67; 22%). Of the 251 efficacy evaluable patients, 45 (18%) achieved a confirmed clinical response, including one patient from the PK substudy who achieved a complete response. Median duration of response was not reached for all except the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cohort (8.3 months). Antitumor responses were observed in multiple tumor types.ConclusionsTislelizumab was generally well tolerated among Chinese patients. Antitumor activity was observed in patients with multiple solid tumors.Trial registration numberCTR20160872.

e13011 Background: A is an oral, irreversible, ErbB Family Blocker with single-agent activity in a variety of solid tumors. Preclinical studies have demonstrated additive antitumor effects when combining A or erlotinib with P in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines with sensitizing or resistant EGFR mutations. We hypothesized that once-daily A given with P would be safe and feasible in pts with advanced solid tumors. Methods: This Phase I trial was a standard 3+3 dose escalation design where A was administered orally at a starting dose of 30 mg/day on days 2–21 and combined with IV P (500 mg/m2) on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. A was increased by 10 mg for each successive cohort until determination of the MTD, defined as the dose of A below which ≥2 of six pts experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in Cycle 1. MTD cohort was expanded to 18 pts and incidence and severity of AEs were graded according to CTCAE v3.0. Pts were treated to a maximum of 6 cycles with the option for A monotherapy thereafter. Results: 23 pts with advanced tumors were treated: 10 males, 13 females, ECOG 0/1/2 (30%/65%/4%), median age 58 yrs, and 57% received ≥3 prior chemotherapies. In Cycle 1, treatment-related DLTs were observed in six pts; two pts of three treated at 40 mg/day A dose and four pts of 20 treated at the MTD of 30 mg/day A dose. A and P were well tolerated, with the most frequent treatment-related AEs being diarrhea (91%; of which 86% were grade 1–2), stomatitis (65%) and rash (61%). Pts received a median of 2 cycles of treatment; five pts received >4 cycles, including one patient with serous ovarian cancer who continues on trial treatment beyond 14 months. Best response of 21 available pts included two partial responses, 14 with stable disease, and three with progressive disease. Detailed response and PK data will be further analyzed. Conclusions: In pts with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors, oral A at 30 mg/day combined with standard dose P (500 mg/m2) administered on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle, had an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. The study is currently evaluating an intercalated schedule of A on Days 2–6 with P based on preclinical synergy thought to arise from cell-cycle pharmacodynamic separation of A and P.

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.

2556 Background: Depletion of tumor-infiltrating CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which inhibit tumor-specific immune responses, could contribute to tumor eradication. Cami (ADCT-301), an anti-CD25, pyrrolobenzodiazepine-based antibody-drug conjugate, targets CD25+ Tregs. A mouse surrogate has shown potent antitumor activity in solid tumor models. Here we report preliminary data from the monotherapy arm of a phase 1b trial of Cami in pts with selected advanced solid tumors. Methods: The monotherapy dose-escalation part of this open-label study enrolled pts (aged ≥18 years) with selected advanced solid tumors and no suitable existing therapy. The primary objective was to characterize safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of Cami monotherapy. Secondary and exploratory objectives included evaluation of preliminary antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity. Pts received Cami every 3 weeks (1 cycle) with dose escalation per a 3+3 design. Disease control rate (DCR) was assessed (complete and partial responses [CR, PR] and stable disease). Results: At data cut-off (Dec 17, 2020), 44 pts were enrolled, with primary tumor types (stage IVA/B: 27 pts; 61.4%) of colorectal (15 pts; 34.1%), pancreatic (14 pts; 31.8%), head and neck, ovarian/fallopian tube, and renal cell carcinoma (all 3 pts; 6.8%), non-small cell lung cancer (2 pts; 4.5%), gastric, esophageal/GEJ, melanoma, and triple-negative breast cancer (each 1 pt; 2.3%). Median (range) age was 60.5 (33–82) years; median (range) number of prior systemic therapies was 4 (1–9). Pts received a median (range) of 2 (1–6) Cami cycles at doses of 20–150 µg/kg. Median (range) treatment duration was 22 (1–178) days. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. All-grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥20% pts were nausea (18 pts; 40.9%), decreased appetite and fatigue (each 16 pts; 36.4%), constipation (13 pts; 29.5%), abdominal pain (11 pts; 25%), and rash (10 pts; 22.7%). The only Grade ≥3 TEAE in ≥10% pts was anemia (5 pts; 11.4%). Grade 3 autoimmune AEs (colitis, immune-mediated AE, systemic inflammatory response syndrome) and neurologic AEs (dysphagia and asthenia, but not GBS) were reported in 3 (6.8%) and 2 (4.5%) pts, respectively. 1 (2.3%) Cami-related TEAE led to treatment withdrawal; no Cami-related TEAEs were fatal. DCR was 25% (95% CI: 11.1, 34.7); 11/44 pts attained stable disease. No pts had CR or PR. Conclusions: Dose escalation of Cami monotherapy is complete. The safety profile is encouraging and MTD was not reached. PK/PD data will be presented. 150 µg/kg is the highest dose investigated for single-agent Cami and the highest to be investigated combined with pembrolizumab in selected advanced solid tumors in the current protocol.

2027 Background: Kinesin spindle protein (KSP) is required for establishment of mitotic spindle bipolarity and cell cycle progression. Ispinesib (SB-715992), a KSP inhibitor, blocks assembly of a functional mitotic spindle leading to G2/M arrest. Carboplatin is a platinum compound that produces predominantly interstrand DNA cross-links. In vivo combination of a platinum-containing agent (cisplatin) and ispinesib resulted in synergistic activity and an increase in maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ispinesib. In a phase I study of single agent ispinesib on a once every 21-day schedule, the MTD was 18 mg/m2 with prolonged gr 4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia as DLTs. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors, PS ≤ 1, and ≤ 3 prior chemotherapy regimens were eligible for this study. Escalating doses of carboplatin (AUC 4-6) were administered over 30 minutes followed by a 1-hour infusion of escalating doses of ispinesib (9– 21 mg/m2) on a 21-day schedule. At least 3 pts were treated at each dose level. The primary objectives of this study included characterizing safety and tolerability and defining the optimally tolerated regimen (OTR). Limited pharmacokinetic (PK) samples were obtained. Clinical response assessments per RECIST criteria were performed every 2 cycles. Results: 24 pts [15 M/9 F; median age 63yrs, ECOG PS 1], were treated at 6 dose levels. The most common tumor types were prostate (7) and breast (4). A median of 3 cycles were administered (range 1–7; total 75 cycles). In 17 pts, the most common toxicities were (# pts, [grade]): nausea (10, Gr 1–2), vomiting (8, Gr 1–3), fatigue (8, Gr 1–2), neutropenia (8, Gr 2–4), anemia (7, Gr 1–3), and thrombocytopenia (7, Gr 1–4). Gr 4 thrombocytopenia was the observed DLT in 2 pts [ispinesib (mg/m2)/carboplatin (mg/ml·min) (# pts): 15/6 (1); 18/6 (1). PK assessment of ispinesib and carboplatin will be completed when the OTR has been defined. Unconfirmed minor responses have been observed in 3 pts (breast, prostate, NSCLC) starting at doses of 18/6. Conclusions: Determination of an OTR is ongoing. Ispinesib doses ≥ single agent MTD when combined with carboplatin AUC 6 have an acceptable tolerability profile and demonstrate preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity. [Table: see text]

3592 Background: GC1118 is a novel anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody which has a unique binding epitope and superior ligand inhibition potential. It showed promising antitumor activity as a single agent in the phase I study. This study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GC1118 in combination with irinotecan or FOLFIRI in metastatic solid tumors and evaluate the efficacy of GC1118 plus FOLFIRI as a second line therapy for RAS and BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: Phase 1b part was designed to evaluate weekly GC1118 (starting from 3 mg/kg) in combination with biweekly irinotecan (180mg/m2) or FOLFIRI (irinotecan 180mg/m2, leucovorin 400mg/m2, 5-FU 400 mg/m2 bolus, and 5-FU 2400mg/m2 over 46hrs) in a 3+3 design. In the phase 2a part, the RP2D of GC1118 is administered in combination with FOLFIRI in a Simon’s two stage design with objective response rate (ORR) as the primary endpoint. Results: 13 pts were enrolled in phase 1b and received 3mg/kg of GC1118 with irinotecan (N = 6) or FOLFIRI (N = 7). DLT occurred in 2 pts (G4 neutropenia, G2 rash) in irinotecan arm and 1pt (G3 neutropenia) in FOLFIRI arm with 3mg/kg of GC1118 and it was determined as MTD and RP2D. Adverse events (AE) of grade ≥ 3 included neutropenia (61.5 %), skin rash (15.4 %) and diarrhea (15.4%). Dose reductions due to GC1118-related AE were required in 6 (46.2%) patients. Among 10 response-evaluable pts in phase 1b, best overall response was PR in 3 and SD in 6, and median PFS was 12 months. In stage 1 of phase 2a (N = 9), 4 PR and 5 SD were observed (ORR 44.4%, 95% CI 13.7 – 78.8). We moved to stage 2, and are currently enrolling additional 20 pts. AE of grade ≥ 3 included neutropenia (66.7%), skin rash (22.2%) and diarrhea (11.1%). Updated data of the phase 2a part will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: The MTD and RP2D of weekly GC1118 in combination with irinotecan or FOLFIRI was 3mg/kg. Preliminary results of GC1118 and FOLFIRI as a 2nd line treatment in mCRC suggests promising antitumor activity and acceptable safety profile. Clinical trial information: NCT03454620 .

3514 Background: LUR is a novel agent that exerts antitumor activity through inhibition of trans-activated transcription and modulation of tumor microenvironment. Preclinical synergism/additivity in combination with IRI has been reported, thus prompting the conduct of this clinical trial. Methods: Phase Ib-II trial to evaluate escalating doses of LUR on Day (D) 1 plus a fixed dose of IRI 75 mg/m2 on D1 and D8 every 3 weeks (q3w) in pts with advanced solid tumors (+/- G-CSF, if dose-limiting toxicities [DLTs] were neutropenia). Starting dose was LUR 1.0 m/m2 + IRI 75 mg/m2. Results: 77 pts have been treated to date at 5 dose levels, 51 of them at the recommended dose (RD). Baseline characteristics of all 77 pts were: 48% females, 68% ECOG PS=1; median age 57 years (range, 19-75 years); median of 2 prior lines (range, 0−4 lines). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was LUR 2.4 mg/m2 + IRI 75 mg/m2 with G-CSF, and the RD was LUR 2.0 mg/m2 + IRI 75 mg/m2 with G-CSF. DLTs in Cycle 1 occurred in 2/3 evaluable pts at the MTD and 3/13 evaluable pts at the RD, and comprised omission of IRI D8 infusion due to grade (G) 3/4 neutropenia (n=3 pts) or G2-4 thrombocytopenia (n=2). At the RD (n=51), common G1/2 non-hematological toxicities were nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, anorexia and neuropathy. G3 non-hematological toxicities (diarrhea 10%, fatigue 10%) and G3/4 hematological abnormalities (neutropenia 49%, thrombocytopenia 10%) were transient. Conclusions: The combination of LUR and IRI had acceptable tolerance, with no unexpected toxicities. Transient myelosuppression was dose-limiting. The RD is LUR 2.0 mg/m2 on D1 + IRI 75 mg/m2 on D1 and D8 q3w with G-CSF. Antitumor activity was observed at the RD in SCLC pts, as well as in endometrial carcinoma pts. Hints of activity were also observed in STS pts. Updated results will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02611024 . [Table: see text]
