BackgroundThe indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) pathway is a key counter-regulatory mechanism that, in cancer, is exploited by tumors to evade antitumor immunity. Indoximod is a small-molecule IDO pathway inhibitor that reverses the immunosuppressive effects of low tryptophan (Trp) and high kynurenine (Kyn) that result from IDO activity. In this study, indoximod was used in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) pembrolizumab for the treatment for advanced melanoma.MethodsPatients with advanced melanoma were enrolled in a single-arm phase II clinical trial evaluating the addition of indoximod to standard of care CPI approved for melanoma. Investigators administered their choice of CPI including pembrolizumab (P), nivolumab (N), or ipilimumab (I). Indoximod was administered continuously (1200 mg orally two times per day), with concurrent CPI dosed per US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved label.ResultsBetween July 2014 and July 2017, 131 patients were enrolled. (P) was used more frequently (n=114, 87%) per investigator’s choice. The efficacy evaluable population consisted of 89 patients from the phase II cohort with non-ocular melanoma who received indoximod combined with (P).The objective response rate (ORR) for the evaluable population was 51% with confirmed complete response of 20% and disease control rate of 70%. Median progression-free survival was 12.4 months (95% CI 6.4 to 24.9). The ORR for Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive patients was 70% compared with 46% for PD-L1-negative patients. The combination was well tolerated, and side effects were similar to what was expected from single agent (P).ConclusionIn this study, the combination of indoximod and (P) was well tolerated and showed antitumor efficacy that is worth further evaluation in selected patients with advanced melanoma.

433 Background: Single agent checkpoint inhibition is effective in a small proportion of platinum-refractory UC patients but improvements are needed. UC is highly inflammatory, and low-dose chemotherapy may enhance the response to immunotherapy. We evaluated whether combination therapy with low-dose paclitaxel and pembrolizumab is more efficacious than single-agent pembrolizumab which had an objective response rate (ORR) of 21% in a similar patient population in the KEYNOTE-045 study. We also incorporated multiple novel biomarker studies to explore immune regulatory mechanisms in UC. Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm phase II trial (NCT02581982) of pembrolizumab combined with low-dose paclitaxel in patients with platinum-refractory metastatic UC. Key inclusion criteria included measurable progression of disease within 12 months of platinum therapy and ECOG ≤1. Patients received pembrolizumab 200mg day 1 and paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 of a 21 day cycle for up to 8 cycles unless clinical or radiographic disease progression or unacceptable adverse events (AEs) were observed. Responding patients could remain on pembrolizumab maintenance for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was ORR; key secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), 6-month progression free survival (PFS), and safety. Results: Twenty-seven patients were treated between 4/2016 - 6/2020, with a median follow up of 9.9 months. At baseline, the median age was 68 years (range 49-80), with 81% men and 78% non-Hispanic white. The majority (59%) were ECOG 1. Twenty-one of 27 (78%) received prior definitive therapy: chemoradiation in 24% and surgery in 76%. The majority (78%) of patients received prior cisplatin. 70% progressed on a cisplatin-based regimen while 30% progressed on carboplatin-based regimen within 12 months of study entry. The ORR by intention to treat was 9 of 27 patients (33%) and in patients evaluable for response by imaging was 9 of 25 (36%), including 3 with complete response. Disease control rate in evaluable patients was 72%. Six-month PFS was 46.8% (95% CI: 27.2%, 64.2%) and median OS was 11.7 months (95% CI: 8.7 mo, NR). Common ≥ grade 2 AEs were anemia (44%), lymphopenia (37%), hyperglycemia (33%), and fatigue (33%). Possible treatment-related at least grade 3 or 4 AEs occurred in 56% of subjects, including 2 immune-mediated AEs (pneumonitis and nephritis) resulting in therapy cessation but a durable partial response. There were no grade 5 events. Conclusions: This study illustrates that the addition of low-dose paclitaxel to pembrolizumab improves outcomes in patients with platinum-refractory UC, relative to single-agent pembrolizumab. No unanticipated safety signals emerged. Exploratory analyses including PDL1 status, tumor mutational burden, and change in circulating microRNAs and in immune cell populations are ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02581982.

109 Background: gpNMB is an internalizable transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in melanoma and multiple other tumor types. The ADC GV (CDX-011) delivers the potent cytotoxin MMAE to gpNMB+ cells. GV has shown promising activity in advanced melanoma and breast cancer. Methods: This Phase II study (CDX011-05) assessed the efficacy and safety of GV monotherapy (1.9 mg/kg q3w) for patients (pts) with advanced melanoma progressive after ≤1 chemotherapy, ≥1 checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) and if BRAFV600mutated, ≥1 BRAF/MEK inhibitor. Central IHC determined gpNMB expression in archival and/or pre-treatment tumor. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) (RECIST 1.1) with ≥6 responders out of 52 evaluable pts as threshold for antitumor activity. Additional endpoints: progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), safety, PK/PD and correlation of tumor gpNMB expression with efficacy. Results: 62 pts enrolled (all evaluable) had median age of 67 years; 55% male; 21% BRAFV600mutated; 63% with ≥3 lines prior therapy; 100% had prior CPI; 100% Stage IV; 89% M1c. One confirmed complete response (CR) and 6 confirmed partial responses (PR, including 1 unconfirmed CR) were seen (confirmed ORR = 11%, p = 0.035 comparing to reference ORR 5%); 33 pts had stable disease including 3 unconfirmed PR. Median DOR = 6.0 (range: 4.1, 14+) months (mos), median PFS = 4.3 mos and median OS = 9.8 mos; 26 pts continue to be followed for survival. All pts with available tissue (60/60) had gpNMB+ tumors; 47/60 had 100% gpNMB+ epithelial cells; no clear correlation with outcome was seen in this population with consistent high expression. Toxicities included alopecia, neuropathy, rash, fatigue and neutropenia. Treatment-related rash in cycle 1 was associated with improved ORR (rash = 22%; no rash = 7%), PFS (p = 0.007) and OS (p = 0.035). Conclusions: GV has promising activity (primary endpoint of ORR was met) with a manageable safety profile in heavily pre-treated melanoma pts. Additional cohorts evaluating GV with either varlilumab, an activating anti-CD27 monoclonal antibody, or PD-1 inhibitors are open to accrual to provide further insights into the synergy of ADC and immunotherapy.

PURPOSE Metastatic uveal melanoma has poor overall survival (OS) and no approved systemic therapy options. Studies of single-agent immunotherapy regimens have shown minimal benefit. There is the potential for improved responses with the use of combination immunotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a phase II study of nivolumab with ipilimumab in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. Any number of prior treatments was permitted. Patients received nivolumab 1 mg/kg and ipilimumab 3 mg/kg for four cycles, followed by nivolumab maintenance therapy for up to 2 years. The primary outcome of the study was overall response rate (ORR) as determined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Progression-free survival (PFS), OS, and adverse events were also assessed. RESULTS Thirty-five patients were enrolled, and 33 patients were evaluable for efficacy. The ORR was 18%, including one confirmed complete response and five confirmed partial responses. The median PFS was 5.5 months (95% CI, 3.4 to 9.5 months), and the median OS was 19.1 months (95% CI, 9.6 months to NR). Forty percent of patients experienced a grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse event. CONCLUSION The combination regimen of nivolumab plus ipilimumab demonstrates activity in metastatic uveal melanoma, with deep and sustained confirmed responses.

Objective. Anti-PD-1 has dramatically improved the survival of patients with advanced melanoma. However, there is a lack of data on maintenance of the response after treatment discontinuation. We aimed to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with metastatic melanoma after anti-PD-1 interruption for objective response (OR) or limiting toxicity during clinical trials. Methods. All patients with advanced melanoma who stopped single-agent anti-PD-1 antibodies for objective response or toxicity were included between April 2014 and January 2019 in our institution (data cut-off, September 10th, 2019). Clinical and biological factors associated with relapse were studied. Results. The median follow-up after introduction of treatment was 36.5 months [4.6–62.4], and the median follow-up after discontinuation of treatment was 15.7 months (2.5–45.1). Out of 65 patients, 28 patients stopped immunotherapy for limiting adverse effects (AEs) (43.1%), 25 for complete response (CR) (38.4%), and 12 for partial response (PR) or long-term stable disease (SD) (18.5%). Twelve patients relapsed (18.5%) after a median time of 9 months [1.9–40.9 months]. Seven relapsed after discontinuation for AEs, 3 after discontinuation for CR, and 2 after discontinuation for PR/SD. The median PFS after therapy discontinuation was not reached. No statistical association was found between recurrence and age, sex, increased LDH, BRAF status, presence of brain metastases, previous treatments, radiotherapy, or time on anti-PD-1 treatment. Conclusion. This cohort shows a global recurrence rate of 18.5% and confirms a long-lasting response after anti-PD-1 cessation regardless of the cause of discontinuation.

Abstract Standard of standard of care for glioblastoma (GBM) remains unsatisfactory with universal disease recurrence and a median survival of < 2 years. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have shown limited single-agent activity in GBM thus far. GBMs with methylated MGMT promoter and no baseline corticosteroid dependence may be most likely to derive benefit from ICI. The combination of ICIs with radiation has shown promising activity in other human cancers. Combining nivolumab and re-RT/bevacizumab in GBM may augment ICI activity through immunogenic effects of radiation, may reduce the risk of radiation necrosis by addition of bevacizumab at the time of radiation, and may reduce the need for corticosteroids. In this multicenter phase II study, nivolumab is combined with re-irradiation and optional concurrent bevacizumab followed by nivolumab in patients with first recurrence of IDH-wildtype and MGMT methylated glioblastoma. Primary objective is to improve 1-year overall survival (OS) from 33 (based on EORTC 26101) to 50%. Nine-three patients are required to show a significant finding with an α of 0.05 and 81% power. Thirteen of 93 patient (14%) have been enrolled with a median age of 59 (range 42–71) with a median KPS of 90 (range 70–90). Treatment has been tolerated well without any grade ≥ 4 toxicities and only one grade 3 (amylase elevation). The most common adverse events were pruritus and hypothyroidism in 3/13 (23%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) is 7 months with a 6months PFS of 55.6%. The 12months OS is 66.7%. Patients with recurrent MGMT methylated, IDH-wildtype glioblastoma tolerate trial treatment with acceptable toxicities. Clinical efficacy in the first patients enrolled shows a promising effect. Enrollment is ongoing.

Purpose The benefit of salvage chemotherapy is modest in metastatic urothelial cancer. We conducted a randomized, noncomparative phase II study to measure the efficacy of cetuximab with or without paclitaxel in patients with previously treated urothelial cancer. Patients and Methods Patients with metastatic urothelial cancer who received one line of chemotherapy in the perioperative or metastatic setting were randomly assigned to 4-week cycles of cetuximab 250 mg/m2 with or without paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 per week. We used early progression as an indicator of futility. Either arm would close if seven of the initial 15 patients in that arm progressed at the first disease evaluation at 8 weeks. Results We enrolled 39 evaluable patients. The single-agent cetuximab arm closed after nine of the first 11 patients progressed by 8 weeks. The combination arm completed the full accrual of 28 patients, of whom 22 patients (78.5%) had visceral disease. Twelve of 28 patients had progression-free survival greater than 16 weeks. The overall response rate was 25% (95% CI, 11% to 45%; three complete responses and four partial responses). The median progression-free survival was 16.4 weeks (95% CI, 12 to 25.1 weeks), and the median overall survival was 42 weeks (95% CI, 30.4 to 78 weeks). Treatment-related grade 3 and 4 adverse events that occurred in at least two patients were rash (six cases), fatigue (five cases), and low magnesium (three cases). Conclusion Although it had limited activity as a single agent, cetuximab appears to augment the antitumor activity of paclitaxel in previously treated urothelial cancers. The cetuximab and paclitaxel combination merits additional study to establish its role in the treatment of urothelial cancers.

e16567 Background: ICI/TKI combinations are a new standard of care for the initial treatment (tx) of mRCC. Efficacy and toxicity of such combination regimens beyond the first-line (1L) setting remain unknown. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts for adult patients (pts) receiving an ICI/TKI combination in any line of tx for mRCC of any histology at one of two academic centers as of May 1, 2020. ICIs included pembrolizumab (Pm), nivolumab (Ni), ipilimumab (Ip), or avelumab (Av); TKIs included sunitinib (Su), axitinib (Ax), pazopanib (Pz), lenvatinib (Ln), or cabozantinib (Ca). Clinical data including pt demographics, histology, International mRCC Database Consortium (IMDC) risk group, tx history, and ICI/TKI tx and toxicity details were recorded. Outcomes included objective response rate (ORR), median progression-free survival (mPFS), and safety, analyzed via descriptive statistics and the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Of 85 pts, 69 (81%) were male and 67 (79%) had clear cell histology. IMDC risk was favorable (24%), intermediate (54%), poor (20%), and unknown (2%). 39% had ICI/TKI tx in the 1L setting. ICI/TKI regimens included Pm/Ax (33%), Ni/Ca (25%), Ni/Ax (20%), Av/Ax (11%), Ni/Ip/Ca (8%), Ni/Su (2%), and Ni/Ln (1%). ORR and mPFS stratified by line of tx and prior tx are shown in the table. Of 52 pts who received ICI/TKI tx as salvage (after 1L), 52% had a grade 3 or higher (≥G3) adverse event (AE), of which the most common were anorexia (13.5%), diarrhea and hypertension (11.5% each), and fatigue (9.6%). 65% of pts on salvage ICI/TKI tx stopped tx for progression/death, while 16% stopped tx for ≥G3 AE. ≥G3 AE rates by line of tx were 62.5% (2L), 50% (3L), and 45% (≥4L). Conclusions: ICI/TKI combination therapy is effective and safe beyond the 1L setting. Prior tx history appears to impact efficacy but has less of an effect on safety/tolerability. These observations will need to be confirmed in prospective studies.[Table: see text]

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of hu3S193, a humanized anti-Lewis-Y monoclonal antibody, as a consolidation strategy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who achieved a second complete response after salvage platinum-doublet chemotherapy.MethodsThis single-arm phase II study accrued patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer with Lewis-Y expression by immunohistochemistry who had achieved a second complete response after five to eight cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients received intravenous infusions of hu3S193, 30 mg/m2 every 2 weeks starting no more than 8 weeks after the last dose of chemotherapy and continuing for 12 doses, until disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival of the second remission. Secondary objectives were safety and pharmacokinetics.ResultsTwenty-nine patients were enrolled. Most had a papillary/serous histology tumor (94%), stage III disease at diagnosis (75%), and five (17%) underwent secondary cytoreduction before salvage chemotherapy. Two patients were not eligible for efficacy but were considered for toxicity analysis. Eighteen patients (62%) completed the full consolidation treatment while nine patients progressed on treatment. At the time of analysis, 23 patients (85%) of the eligible population had progressed and seven of these patients (26%) had died. Median progression-free survival of the second remission was 12.1 months (95% CI: 10.6–13.9), with a 1-year progression-free survival of the second remission rate of 50.1%. The trial was terminated early since it was unlikely that the primary objective would be achieved. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse events were nausea (55%) and vomiting (51%).ConclusionsHu3S193 did not show sufficient clinical activity as consolidation therapy in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who achieved a second complete response after platinum-based chemotherapy.Trial registrationNCT01137071.

1077 Background: In pts with pretreated mTNBC, standard-of-care chemotherapy is associated with low objective response rates (ORRs) and short median progression-free survival (PFS). SG is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti–Trop-2 antibody coupled to the cytotoxic SN-38 payload via a proprietary, hydrolyzable linker. SG received accelerated FDA approval for treatment of pts with mTNBC who have received ≥2 prior therapies for metastatic disease. The confirmatory phase 3 ASCENT study (NCT02574455) in pts with relapsed/refractory mTNBC demonstrated a significant survival benefit of SG over TPC (median PFS: 5.6 vs 1.7 mo, HR 0.41, P< 0.0001; median overall survival [OS]: 12.1 vs 6.7 mo, HR 0.48, P< 0.0001) with a tolerable safety profile. Here we summarize efficacy results for SG vs each TPC agent in ASCENT to examine how each TPC agent performed individually. Methods: Pts had mTNBC refractory to or progressing after ≥2 prior standard chemotherapy regimens. Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive SG (10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 8, every 21 days) or single-agent TPC (eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, or gemcitabine). Primary endpoint was PFS per RECIST 1.1 by independent review in brain metastases-negative (BMNeg) pts. Secondary endpoints were ORR per RECIST 1.1, duration of response, OS, and safety. Outcomes for each of the agents in the TPC arm were analyzed and compared with SG. Results: Of 529 pts enrolled, 468 were BMNeg. Among pts in the TPC cohort (n = 233), eribulin was the most commonly chosen chemotherapy (n = 126), followed by vinorelbine (n = 47), capecitabine (n = 31), and gemcitabine (n = 29). Treatment with eribulin, vinorelbine, capecitabine, and gemcitabine resulted in shorter median PFS vs SG (2.1, 1.6, 1.6, and 2.7 vs 5.6 mo, respectively); similar results were observed for median OS (6.9, 5.9, 5.2, and 8.4 vs 12.1 mo), ORR (5%, 4%, 6%, and 3% vs 35%), and clinical benefit rate (CBR; 8%, 6%, 10%, and 14% vs 45%). Key grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) with TPC overall vs SG included neutropenia (33% vs 51%), leukopenia (5% vs 10%), fatigue (5% vs 3%), and anemia (5% vs 8%). Key grade ≥3 TRAEs with eribulin vs SG included neutropenia (30% vs 51%), leukopenia (5% vs 10%), fatigue (5% vs 3%), anemia (2% vs 8%), and peripheral neuropathy (2% vs none), respectively. The safety profiles of vinorelbine, capecitabine, and gemcitabine combined were consistent with that of TPC overall and with eribulin. One treatment-related death was reported for the TPC arm (eribulin) and none with SG. Conclusions: The efficacy benefit observed with SG vs TPC in pts with mTNBC was retained when evaluating each TPC chemotherapy agent individually. These results confirm that SG should be considered as a new standard of care in pts with pretreated mTNBC. Clinical trial information: NCT02574455 .
