TPS176 Background: Gastric cancer is the 5th most frequently diagnosed cancer and the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths. HER2/neu is overexpressed in 15% to 25% of patients with gastric cancer and associated with a poor prognosis. Monoclonal antibodies against HER2/neu have been shown to be effective but alternative treatments are needed due to cost and global availability issues. IMU-131 is a B-cell peptide vaccine composed of 3 B cell epitopes derived from the extracellular domain of HER2/neu. Polyclonal antibodies against IMU-131 peptides binding 3 separate regions (DIII, IV) of HER2/neu have been shown to elicit antitumor activity in vitro and a phase I study demonstrated safety and immunogenicity in Her-2 +/++ metastatic breast cancer patients. Fusion of the single peptides into a hybrid peptide conjugated to CRM197 in conjunction with the adjuvant Montanide (P467-CRM-Montanide) improved formulation and stability of the vaccine. With the present Phase 1b/2 trial performed in patients with HER2/neu overexpressing gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, we hypothesized that administration of IMU-131 in addition to chemotherapy is safe and immunogenic, and will prolong survival and may delay tumor progression and/or reduce tumor burden. Methods: This study is an international open-label multicenter study performed in 16 Asian and Eastern European sites with a maximum of 18 patients enrolled in Phase 1b. This dose escalation study is designed to assess safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMU-131. Each patient is administered three injections of IMU-131, at a single dose level on Days 0, 14, and 35, accompanied by chemotherapy cycles of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine every 21 days. The RP2D will be evaluated in the dose expansion Phase 2 study with 68 patients being enrolled. Results: The study is ongoing with the completion of the phase 1b portion in 4Q18. Conclusions: No conclusions can be drawn at this time. Clinical trial information: NCT02795988.

TPS255 Background: The histone methyltransferase EZH2 is overexpressed in many cancers. In prostate cancer (PC), EZH2 inhibition may reverse acquired resistance to androgen inhibitors (AIs). Pts may initially respond to AIs, but pts who progress have limited treatment options. In phase 2 trials, TAZ, a selective, orally bioavailable, investigative small molecule EZH2 inhibitor, has demonstrated encouraging objective responses in B-cell lymphomas and molecularly defined solid tumors and a favorable safety profile. In PC preclinical models, TAZ + E or A/P showed a greater reduction in tumor growth than either drug alone. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAZ + E or A/P vs E or A/P alone in mCRPC. Methods: This phase 1b/2 study will enroll pts ≥18 years with progressive mCRPC, with or without prior second-generation AI treatment, and no prior chemotherapy. Phase 1b will identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TAZ when combined with E (160 mg/day) or A/P (A: 1000 mg/day; P: 5 mg twice-daily [BID]) and evaluate the safety and tolerability of each combination in treatment-naïve pts and pts previously treated with a second-generation AI. Using a modified 3+3 design (up to 48 pts: 18 for TAZ+A/P and 30 for TAZ+E), TAZ dosing will start at 400 mg BID, escalating to 800 mg BID in the TAZ+A/P group or 1600 mg BID in the TAZ + E group, if no dose-limiting toxicities are observed. Phase 2 will begin once the RP2D for each combination is determined. Efficacy and safety results from phase 1b will inform the final design for phase 2. Phase 2 will be an open label study where pts will be randomized to either E or A/P alone or in combination with TAZ. TAZ will be administered at the RP2D in continuous 28-day cycles for as long as pts tolerate treatment and continue AI therapy. Tumor assessments will be performed every 9 weeks for 6 months and every 12 weeks thereafter. Efficacy assessments include radiographic progression-free survival (primary endpoint), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥50% response rate, time to PSA progression, time to subsequent systemic therapy, and objective response rate. Safety is a secondary endpoint.

e16065 Background: The phase 2 part of the study hypothesizes HER-Vaxx (IMU-131) will provide treatment benefits consistent with traditional monoclonal antibodies that target HER2 in patients with confirmed Her2+ advanced or metastatic gastric cancer with a corresponding adaptive immune response without added toxicity. In the phase 1b dose finding part of the study tumor response of patients who received 50ug dose strongly correlated with antibody levels with 50ug selected as the phase 2 dose (Wiedermann et. al., 2019). Phase 2 is a randomized two arm study of either HER-Vaxx plus standard chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy alone. The primary endpoint is overall survival, with progression-free survival, safety and immune related changes in humoral and cellular immunogenicity secondary endpoints. Methods: Patients received SOC chemotherapy for a maximum of 6 cycles with the HER-Vaxx group also receiving 50ug dose of IMU-131 at Baseline/Day 0, Day 14, Day 35, Day 77 and then every 63 days until disease progression. The per protocol pre-planned first interim analysis (OS, PFS and safety) in a total of 27 patients after 15 progression events was reviewed by the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC). Results: Within ITT analysis, 8 of 27 patients died on the control arm and 4 on the HER-Vaxx plus SOC chemotherapy arm with an overall survival HR of 0.418 (2 sided 80% CI: 0.186, 0.942) and a 1-sided p-value of 0.083. Out of 27 patients, 9 patients progressed on the control arm while 6 patients progressed on the HER-Vaxx plus SOC chemotherapy arm with a HR of 0.532 (2 sided 80% CI: 0.267, 1.060) and a 1-sided p-value of 0.086. A robust HER2 specific antibody response developed in the HER-Vaxx arm compared to the control arm whereas there was no difference in safety between the two treatment arms. Conclusions: The IDMC confirmed that the safety of the study was favorable with no added toxicity of HER-Vaxx and SOC chemotherapy with a favorable risk-benefit for the combination. The study has completed enrollment and final data is expected in late 2021. Clinical trial information: NCT02795988.
