BackgroundThe MORPHEUS platform comprises multiple randomized Phase Ib/II trials to identify early safety and efficacy signals for treatment combinations across cancers. Seli interacts with CD40 on antigen presenting cells, resulting in activation and priming of CD8 T-cells. Atezo (anti-PD-L1)+seli (CD40 agonist) was evaluated with gem+nabP for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), or with bev for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsMORPHEUS-PDAC, MORPHEUS-TNBC and MORPHEUS-CRC enrolled 1L metastatic (m) PDAC, 2L locally advanced or mTNBC or 3L mCRC patients, respectively. Experimental arm patients received atezo (840 mg IV q2w) and seli (16 mg SC on D1 every 28-day cycle for C1-4 and every third cycle thereafter). Patients also received gem (1000 mg/m2) and nabP (1000 mg/m2, 125 mg/m2 respectively, IV on D1, 8, 15 every 28-day cycle) in PDAC or bev (10 mg/kg IV q2w) in TNBC and CRC. Control treatments were gem+nabP in PDAC, capecitabine in TNBC, and regorafenib in CRC. Primary endpoints were safety and objective response rate (ORR; investigator-assessed RECIST 1.1). PD-L1 and CD8/panCK IHC were tested in all biopsies.ResultsAll treated patients were safety evaluable. MORPHEUS-PDAC (20-week interim analysis): 9 patients received atezo+seli+gem+nabP and 4 received control. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were seen in all. Treatment-related serious AEs (SAEs) occurred in 6 patients (67%) receiving atezo+seli+gem+nabP and 1 (25%) receiving control. Confirmed ORRs: 44% (95%CI:14–79) and 25% (95%CI:6–81), respectively. MORPHEUS-TNBC (27-week interim analysis): 6 patients received atezo+seli+bev and 24 received control. TRAEs were seen in 5 patients (83%) receiving atezo+seli+bev and 18 (75%) receiving control. Treatment-related SAEs occurred in 1 patient in each arm (17% and 4%, respectively). Confirmed ORRs: 17% (95%CI:0.4–64) and 21% (95%CI:7–42), respectively. All 6 patients receiving atezo+seli+bev were PD-L1 negative (SP142 IHC assay) at baseline; the only patient with partial response (PR) showed upregulation of PD-L1 expression at week 3. MORPHEUS-CRC (18-week interim analysis): 6 patients received atezo+seli+bev and 13 received control. TRAEs were seen in all patients receiving atezo+seli+bev and 12 (92%) receiving control. Treatment-related SAEs occurred in 3 patients (50%) receiving atezo+seli+bev and 1 (8%) receiving control. No responses occurred in either study arm. Paired biopsies for 3 patients (60%) receiving atezo+seli+bev suggest on-treatment increases in CD8 T-cell infiltration into tumors.ConclusionsToxicities related to the atezo+seli combinations were consistent with individual study treatments. Preliminary efficacy was observed for atezo+seli+gem+nabP in PDAC. Together with preliminary evidence of on-treatment pharmacodynamic effects in CRC and TNBC tumor samples, CD40 agonist strategies warrant further investigation.Trial RegistrationMORPHEUS-PDAC: NCT03193190; MORPHEUS-TNBC: NCT03424005; MORPHEUS-CRC: NCT03555149.Ethics ApprovalThe trial was conducted according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All patients provided written informed consent. Protocol approval was obtained from independent review boards or ethics committees at each site.

9511 Background: Mucosal melanoma is a rare malignant melanoma in Caucasians but ranks the second most common subtype in the Asian population. It is more often diagnosed at an advanced stage and responds poorly to current PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Here we report the interim analysis results of ML41186, an open-label, multicenter, single-arm phase II study, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab in patients (pts) with advanced mucosal melanoma. Methods: Eligible pts aged 18 to 75 years with histologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic mucosal melanoma had at least one measurable lesion per RECIST version 1.1 at baseline, with an ECOG PS 0 or 1 and adequate hematologic and organ function. ML41186 is a Simon two-stage design study, if 22 pts completed ORR evaluation and more than 3 pts respond in stage I, the study then continue to Stage II. Atezolizumab and bevacizumab were administered at a fixed dose of 1200 mg and 7.5 mg/kg Q3W respectively (on day 1 of each 21-day cycle) until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), duration of objective response (DoR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. Results: By the cut-off date of 9th September 2020, 35 pts has been enrolled, among whom 22 pts in the stage I analysis set has completed two efficacy evaluation, while 28 pts (full analysis set) has completed at least one efficacy evaluation. In ITT populations (n=35), mean age was 58.9 years with 10 (28%) pts had ECOG PS of 1. LDH level elevated in 9 (25.7%) pts. More than half pts (19, 54.3%) had metastatic mucosal melanoma, of whom 3 (15.8%) pts had more than 3 metastasis sites and 4 (21.1%) pts had liver metastasis. In stage I analysis set (n=22), the best confirmed ORR was 36.4% (95% CI, 17.0%-59.3%). Median progression-free survival was 5.32 months (95% CI, 1.58-not reached), and the best confirmed DCR was 59.1% (95%CI, 36.4%-79.3%). The median confirmed DoR was not reached (95% CI, 2.76-NR). In the full analysis set (n=28), the unconfirmed ORR was 42.9% (95%CI, 24.5%-62.8%). In ITT populations (n=35), 28 pts (80%) experienced at least one adverse event (AE) and 5 pts (14.3%) experienced at least one grade 3-4 AEs. Only one patient experienced AE leading to treatment discontinuation. One patient died of autoimmune lung disease. Conclusions: The combination of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab showed promising benefit and was tolerable in pts with advanced mucosal melanoma. At the time of this interim analysis, the primary endpoint did not cross the futility boundary, thus the study will run into Stage II. Clinical trial information: NCT04091217.

312 Background: Silmitasertib (CX-4945), an oral small molecule inhibitor of casein kinase 2 (CK2), has exhibited preclinical antitumor activity and strong synergism with gemcitabine + cisplatin. We investigated the safety and efficacy of silmitasertib in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin in patients with unresectable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Methods: S4-13-001 is a multicenter, open-label, phase Ib/II study of silmitasertib in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic CCA. The phase Ib portion included dose-escalation, expansion, and exploratory cohorts of silmitasertib with doses ranging from 200 to 1000 mg bid (6 days for the escalation/expansion cohorts and 10 and 21 days’ continuous dosing for the exploratory cohorts). In the phase II portion patients received silmitasertib 1000 mg bid for 10 days in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin on days 1 & 8 over a 21-day cycle. In this interim analysis, we present findings from the combined population of patients from the phase Ib and II portions of the study. Response to treatment was assessed by RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks. Primary efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS). ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02128282). Results: A total of 87 patients were enrolled and received silmitasertib in the phase Ib (n=50) and phase II (n=37) portions of the study. Of these, 55 patients were evaluable for efficacy with details as follows: median PFS 11.1 (95% CI 7.6–14.7) months; median overall survival (OS) 17.4 (95% CI 13.4–25.7) months; overall response rate (ORR) 32.1%; and disease control rate (DCR) 79.3%. Almost all patients (79/87; 90.8%) evaluable for safety reported ≥1 treatment-related adverse event (TEAE). The most common TEAEs (all grades) with silmitasertib were diarrhea (65.5%), nausea (50.6%), vomiting (33.3%), fatigue (31.0%), and anemia (21.8%). The most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were diarrhea (13.8%), neutropenia (11.5%), nausea (9.2%), anemia (8.0%), and thrombocytopenia (8.0%). Eleven patients (12.6%) discontinued treatment due to TEAEs. Conclusions: Silmitasertib in combination with gemcitabine + cisplatin yields promising preliminary evidence of efficacy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic CCA. Based on these data a randomized phase III trial is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02128282.

TPS4160 Background: FOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil [5FU], folinic acid [FA], irinotecan [Iri], and oxaliplatin [Ox]) is a standard 1st-line treatment in fit Pts with aPDAC. Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 as single agents have failed in PDAC so far and new combination immunotherapies are needed. Tedopi (OSE2101) is a multiple neoepitope vaccine restricted to HLA-A2 positive Pts, targeting 5 tumor-associated antigens (CEA, HER2, MAGE2, MAGE3, TP53) that are frequently expressed in PDAC. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Tedopi alone and in combination with anti-PD-1 nivolumab, or FOLFIRI as maintenance therapy in Pts with aPDAC after FOLFIRINOX induction CT. Methods: TEDOPaM - PRODIGE 63 is a 3-arm, Fleming 2-stage, open-label, randomized, non-comparative phase II study. 156 Pts with locally advanced or metastatic, pathologically proven PDAC; ECOG performance status 0-1; HLA-A2 genotype; controlled disease (objective response or stable disease) after 8 cycles of (modified) FOLFIRINOX; and adequate organ functions, are randomized (1:1:1, stratified on center, tumor stage, and best response to FOLFIRINOX) into 3 arms: Clinical trial information: NCT03806309. In Arms B and C, FOLFIRI is reintroduced at disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint: overall survival rate at M12. Secondary endpoints: progression-free survival (CT-scan Q8W), duration of disease control, safety, objective response rate, RECIST v1.1/iRECIST comparison, HRQoL (EORTC QLQ-C30), Q-TWiST. An interim analysis is planned after inclusion of 20 Pts in each arm. Translational research will be performed on tumor tissue (initial FFPE biopsy and optional re-biopsy at inclusion): RNAseq (cancer and stroma), mutation burden, MMR status, immune infiltrates; and in blood (before and on-treatment): cytokine panel, PBMC phenotyping, vaccine-antigen specific T-cells, TCR repertoire, and extracellular vesicles, to explore biomarkers and pharmacodynamics effects of Tedopi ± nivolumab. Enrollment (12th Feb 2019): 1. ClinicalTrials Registration: NCT03806309.[Table: see text]

TPS465 Background: Treatment options for PDAC are limited; thus, new therapies that can improve outcomes and extend survival are needed. PDAC is associated with high infiltration by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that inhibit antitumor T-cell activity. Blocking colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) signaling—which supports the recruitment, differentiation, and maintenance of immunosupressive macrophages in tumors—may lead to depletion of TAMs and upregulation of T-cell checkpoints. Cabira, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody, binds to CSF-1R and blocks its signaling, a key determinant of TAM activation and survival. By reducing TAMs and promoting a proinflammatory microenvironment, cabira may stimulate T-cell responses, thereby sensitizing PDAC to therapy with nivo (anti‒PD-1). In a phase 1a/b study cabira + nivo was tolerable and showed evidence of on-target tumor immune modulation and durable clinical benefit in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with advanced PDAC (Wainberg et al. J Immunother Cancer. 2017 [abst O42]; Carleton et al. J Clin Oncol. 2018 [abst 3020]). Here we describe a randomized, open-label, phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of cabira + nivo ± chemo in advanced PDAC. Methods: Pts aged ≥18 y with locally advanced/metastatic PDAC that progressed on/after first-line chemo (gemcitabine [gem] or 5-fluorouracil [5-FU] based) will be enrolled. Pts with active/suspected autoimmune disease, uncontrolled/significant cardiovascular disease, or prior exposure to select immune cell–modulating antibodies are not eligible. Depending on prior chemo received, pts will be randomized to 1 of 4 arms (n≈40 each): cabira + nivo; cabira + nivo + gem/nab-paclitaxel; cabira + nivo + oxaliplatin/5-FU/leucovorin; or investigator’s choice of standard-of-care chemo. Endpoints include median progression-free survival (primary), overall survival rate, objective response rate, median duration of response, pharmacokinetics, and safety. In a completed preliminary safety cohort, 12 pts were treated with cabira + nivo + chemo and monitored for 4 wk; competitive enrollment is open, with 32 pts enrolled.

1051 Background: Abemaciclib is an orally administered, selective small molecule cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and 6 inhibitor, approved to treat HR+, HER2- MBC patients (pts) on a continuous twice daily dosing schedule as monotherapy or in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine based therapy or in combination with fulvestrant. Abemaciclib monotherapy increased tumor immunogenicity and synergized with anti-PD-1 to boost antitumor efficacy in murine models. Here we report safety and antitumor activity of abemaciclib plus pembrolizumab in HR+, HER2- MBC pts. Methods: This multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, multi-cohort phase Ib study of abemaciclib plus pembrolizumab enrolled a cohort of endocrine resistant HR+, HER2- MBC pts who had received 1 or 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for MBC. No prior CDK4/6 inhibitor was allowed. Patients received 150mg abemaciclib orally every 12 hours plus pembrolizumab 200mg IV on day 1 every 21 days. Primary objective was to characterize safety of the abemaciclib plus pembrolizumab combination. Secondary objectives included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: Of 28 pts enrolled, 15 (54%) received 1 line and 10 (36%) 2 lines of prior systemic chemotherapy in the locally advanced/metastatic setting. Safety of the combination was generally consistent with known side effects of abemaciclib and pembrolizumab and was generally manageable. Grade 3/4 adverse events in >2 pts included neutropenia (8 pts/29%), AST increase (5 pts/18%), diarrhea, and ALT increase (3 pts/11% each). Eight pts had confirmed partial response (29% ORR), and disease control rate (complete response [CR]+partial response [PR]+stable disease [SD]) was 82%. Clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD persisting for ≥6 months) was 46%. Median PFS and OS were 8.9 months (95% CI 3.9, 11.1) and 26.3 months (95% CI 20.0, 31.0), respectively. Conclusions: Combination of abemaciclib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated a generally tolerable safety profile with numerically higher rate of transaminase elevations than reported for the individual treatments. Compared to historical data for abemaciclib monotherapy in a similar pt population, a numerically higher but not obviously different ORR, PFS, and OS was observed. Clinical trial information: NCT02779751 .

Abstract Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still a highly fatal malignancy among the most common cancers. More powerful treatments are expecting to bring hope for patients. Biweekly gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel/S-1 (GAS) was proved safe and effective for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer in Japan. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and toxicity of GAS (repeated every 3 weeks) in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced pancreatic cancer and determine the recommended dose of S-1 in this combination. Methods This is an open-label, single-arm, and single-center phase I trial. Patients who have been diagnosed with locally advanced or advanced PDAC pathologically without previous systemic treatments will be enrolled and be treated with GAS chemotherapy every 3 weeks (nab-paclitaxel 125 mg/m 2, ivgtt, day1, 8; gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2, day1, 8; different doses of S-1 within a dose escalation scheme) until the presence of disease progression (PD), intolerable adverse events (AEs), or requirement of patients and researchers. The primary endpoints are maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The secondary endpoints include safety, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Discussion This trial will adjust the administration of GAS to make it more effective for Chinese patients, while exploring the toxicity and feasibility of this adjustment.

Abstract Background After liver resection (LR), patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) are at high risk of recurrence. There are no approved anti-cancer therapies known to affect such risk, highlighting the acute need for novel systemic therapies to control the probability of disease relapse. Immunotherapy is expanding as a novel treatment option for HCC. Emerging data from cohort 4 of the CA209–040 study, which investigated the safety and preliminary efficacy of nivolumab/ipilimumab co-administration in advanced HCC, suggest that the combination can be delivered safely with an acceptable proportion of reversible grade 3–4 toxicities (27.1%) and a low discontinuation rate (2%) in patients with HCC. Here, we describe the design and rationale of PRIME-HCC, a two-part, multi-centre, phase Ib study to assess safety and bioactivity of the nivolumab/ipilimumab combination prior to LR in early-stage HCC. Methods The study involves an initial safety run-in phase (Part 1) to allow for preliminary safety characterisation within the first 6 patients enrolled and a subsequent expansion (Part 2). Ipilimumab will be administered once only on Day 1. Nivolumab will be administered on Day 1 and Day 22 (± 3 days) for a total of two 21-day cycles (i.e. 6 weeks of treatment). The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the nivolumab/ipilimumab combination prior to LR. The secondary objective is to preliminarily characterize the efficacy of the combination prior to LR, including objective response rate (ORR) and pathologic response rates. Additional exploratory objectives include preliminary evidence of long-term disease control and to identify predictive correlates of response to the nivolumab/ipilimumab combination in HCC. Discussion The results of this study will help define the positioning of neoadjuvant nivolumab/ipilimumab combination in the perioperative management of HCC, with potential to improve survival outcomes in this patient population.

e15625 Background: IMGN242 is a conjugate of the cytotoxic maytansinoid DM4 and the monoclonal antibody huC242, which binds to CanAg. In a Phase I study, the maximum tolerated dose for IMGN242 was determined to be 168 mg/m2, with ocular changes the primary dose-limiting toxicity. This Phase II study was initiated to assess IMGN242 for the treatment of gastric cancer. Methods: In this open-label, multi-center study, IMGN242 is given as a single IV infusion every three weeks to patients with CanAg-expressing metastatic or locally-advanced gastric or GE junction cancer. Patients must have been treated with at least one prior therapy to qualify for enrollment. The study has a 2-step design: If ≥1 objective response is achieved among the first 23 patients (Step 1), a total of 39 response-evaluable patients will be enrolled (Step 2). Results: Overall, 9 patients have received IMGN242. The first 6 were treated with 168 mg/m2, and 1 of these patients showed a marked biologic response by the FDG-PET scan in Cycle 1 followed by an unconfirmed partial response based on CT scan in Cycle 2. However, 3 of these 6 patients developed ocular toxicities assessed to be study drug related. Only patients with low plasma CanAg levels (<1000 U/ml) developed ocular toxicities, and clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analyses revealed that plasma CanAg affects study drug exposures. The study was amended to differentiate the IMGN242 doses (126 mg/m2 or 168 mg/m2) administered based on the patient's plasma CanAg levels (< or >1000 U/mL). To date, 3 patients have received IMGN242 with this dosing strategy and no ocular toxicities have been reported. Conclusions: IMGN242 showed preliminary evidence of activity in this patient population. A novel Phase II dosing strategy is being used that should enhance tolerability. Patient enrollment is ongoing and updated results will be reported. [Table: see text]

BackgroundHHIs, vismodegib and sonidegib, are approved for treatment of patients with mBCC or locally advanced BCC who are not candidates for surgery or radiation. There is no approved option for patients who progress on or are intolerant to HHIs. Cemiplimab is an anti-programmed cell death-1 monoclonal antibody approved for treatment of patients with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) or locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Here we present the prespecified interim analysis of the mBCC cohort from the pivotal Phase 2, non-randomized, multi-center study of cemiplimab in patients with advanced BCC who discontinued HHI therapy due to disease progression, intolerance, or no better than stable disease after 9 months (NCT03132636).MethodsPatients with mBCC (nodal and/or distant) received cemiplimab 350 mg intravenously every 3 weeks; interim analysis included patients with the opportunity to be followed for approximately 57 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per independent central review (ICR). Secondary objectives included assessment of safety and tolerability, estimation of duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).ResultsIn this interim efficacy analysis of 28 patients, 82.1% were males and median age was 65.5 years (range 38−90). Six patients had a partial response, per ICR, for an ORR of 21.4% (95% CI, 8.3, 41.0). ORR per investigator assessment was 28.6% (95% CI, 13.2, 48.7). Among responders, observed DOR was 9−23 months. Median time to response per ICR was 3.2 months (range, 2.1−10.5). Median Kaplan–Meier (KM) estimation of PFS was 8.3 months. Median DOR had not been reached and median KM estimation of OS was 25.7 months. All six responses had observed durations of at least 8 months. The disease control rate was 67.9% (95% CI, 47.6, 84.1).The most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) regardless of attribution were fatigue (50.0%), diarrhea (35.7%), pruritus (25.0%), and constipation (25.0%). Hypertension (n=2) was the only Grade ≥3 TEAE regardless of attribution occurring in ≥2 patients. TEAEs leading to death occurred in one (3.6%) patient who died from staphylococcal pneumonia, considered unrelated to study treatment.ConclusionsThis interim analysis demonstrates that cemiplimab is the first agent to provide clinically meaningful anti-tumor activity, including durable responses, in patients with mBCC after progression or intolerance on HHI therapy.AcknowledgementsEditorial acknowledgment: Medical writing support was provided by Cindi Hoover, PhD of Prime, Knutsford, UK, funded by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Sanofi.Ethics ApprovalThe study protocols and all amendments were approved by the institutional review board at each participating study site.

TPS369 Background: Treatment options for RCC in the late-line setting after immunotherapy and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy are limited. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2α is a transcription factor that has been established as an oncogenic driver in clear cell RCC (ccRCC). The first-in-class small molecular HIF-2α inhibitor, MK-6482, recently showed promising antitumor activity in a cohort of heavily pretreated ccRCC patients (pts) and in pts with von Hippel-Lindau–disease-associated RCC for which the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to MK-6482. Methods: This randomized, open-label, multicenter phase II trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of MK-6482 in pts with advanced RCC who have experienced progression after prior systemic therapy (NCT04489771). Eligible pts are male or female aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic ccRCC (measurable disease per RECIST v1.1) who have experienced progression after 1-3 prior systemic therapies comprising an anti-PD-1/L1 agent combined with a VEGF-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) or an anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 agent and have undergone no more than 3 prior systemic regimens; and a Karnofsky Performance Scale ≥70. Treatment progression on anti-PD-1/L1 combination therapy was defined as pts who received at least 2 doses of anti-PD-1/L1 therapy and demonstrated radiographic disease progression as assessed by the investigator. Pts who have received prior treatment with MK-6482 or another HIF-2α inhibitor, and those requiring intermittent or chronic supplemental oxygen, or with a baseline hemoglobin less than 10 g/dL, a history of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, or active central nervous system metastases will be excluded. Approximately 150 pts will be randomly assigned 1:1 to oral MK-6482 120 mg once daily (QD) or 200 mg QD; treatment will continue until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Pts will be stratified by International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium prognostic scores (0, 1-2, 3-6) and the number of prior TKI-containing therapies (0, 1, or 2-3). Imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging will be undertaken on Week 9 from the date of randomization, every 8 weeks through Week 49, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study and for 30 days after treatment (90 days for serious adverse events). The primary end point is objective response rate per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary end points are progression-free survival, duration of response and clinical benefit rate per RECIST v1.1 by BICR, overall survival, pharmacokinetics, and safety. Safety will be analyzed using a tiered approach. This study is recruiting. Clinical trial information: NCT04489771 .
