Insufficient Response

Introduction: Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a hematologic disorder characterized by bone marrow hypoplasia and peripheral pancytopenia. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CsA) is the standard first-line treatment for patients with SAA who are ineligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). For those refractory to or relapsed after IST, eltrombopag (an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist) were recommended as the second-line therapy by US FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA). However, in several countries including China, eltrombopag has not been approved for use in patients with SAA, so there is an urgent unmet medical need for additional efficient treatment options. Hetrombopag, another oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist, has similar mechanism in stimulating thrombopoietin receptor signaling pathway as eltrombopag and better pharmacological performance than eltrombopag in pre-clinical study (Xie et al, JCMM 2018). In a phase 1 trial, hetrombopag was safe and well-tolerated in healthy subjects with potent thrombopoietic activity and acceptable pharmacokinetic profiles (Zheng et al, BCPT 2017). Here, in this phase 2 trial (NCT03557099), we aimed to assess the activity and safety of hetrombopag in patients with SAA who have had an insufficient response to IST. Methods: This open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study enrolled patients with SAA who have had an insufficient response to IST and were ineligible for transplantation. Patients were given hetrombopag orally at an initial dose of 7.5 mg once daily after overnight fasting. If increase of platelet count was less than 20×109/L from baseline, the dose of hetrombopag was gradually up-titrated by 2.5 mg every 2 weeks to a maximum of 15 mg once daily, for a total of 52 weeks. The primary endpoint was proportion of patients achieving hematologic responses in at least one lineage at week 18. Results: Between June 20, 2018 and May 24, 2019, 55 eligible patients were enrolled and received hetrombopag treatment. The median age was 40 years (range 19-65) and 34 (61.8%) patients were male. As of data cutoff on June 12, 2020, 52 (94.5%) patients received the maximum dose of 15 mg once daily, and the final dose of the other three patients was 7.5 mg, 10 mg, and 12.5 mg, respectively. A total of 24 (43.6%, 95% CI 30.3-57.7) of the 55 patients met primary endpoint, achieving at least one lineage hematologic response at week 18 after the initiation of hetrombopag treatment (Figure 1). Of them, 11 (20.0%) patients had unilineage responses, 7 (12.7%) had bilineage responses, and 6 (10.9%) had trilineage responses. Twenty-four (43.6%, 95% CI 30.3-57.7) patients responded in at least one lineage at week 24 and 27 (49.1%, 95% CI 35.4-62.9) patients responded in at least one lineage at week 52 (Figure 1). Of the 32 patients with responses at week 18, 24, or 52, median time to initial hematologic response was 7.9 weeks (range 2.0-32.1). The responses were durable in majority of patients who remained on hetrombopag treatment, with only six patients relapsed, achieving a probability of recurrence-free survival at 12-month of 79.5% (95% CI 59.9-90.3). Adverse events of any attribution were reported in 54 (98.2%) of the 55 patients, with the most common ones being upper respiratory tract infection (22, 40.0%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (12, 21.8%), and pyrexia (12, 21.8%). Twenty-eight (50.9%) patients had treatment-related adverse events. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred in 17 (30.9%) patients, with only one (1.8%) related to hetrombopag. Three (5.5%) patients underwent dose reduction or treatment interruption and three (5.5%) patients were discontinued from treatment because of adverse events, but none of which was considered as drug-related. Fifteen (27.3%) patients had serious adverse events. Three (5.5%) deaths were reported, and all of them were judged to be not treatment-related. Clonal cytogenetic evolution occurred in two (3.6%) patients during hetrombopag administration, with one patient had a loss of chromosome 7 and one had an increase of chromosome 8. Conclusions: Hetrombopag showed encouraging activity with multilineage hematologic responses in patients with SAA who have had an insufficient response to prior IST. Hetrombopag was well-tolerated and safe. This study provided evidences that hetrombopag might represent a novel treatment option for patients with SAA.

ObjectiveTo determine the efficacy of the thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim for the prevention of temozolomide-induced thrombocytopenia in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.MethodsIn the PLATUM phase II open-label, multicenter, single-arm trial, patients diagnosed with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia during chemoradiotherapy received weekly subcutaneous romiplostim injections. PLATUM aimed at demonstrating that the percentage of thrombocytopenic patients treated with romiplostim able to complete 6 cycles of maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy exceeded 10% (p0 = 0.10; pA = 0.35). Using type I error equal to 0.05% and 95% power, 31 patients had to be recruited. According to a Fleming 2-step design with a preplanned interim analysis after recruitment of 20 patients (step 1), the trial was terminated early for success.ResultsTwenty patients were enrolled in step 1. Median age was 61 years (range 33–73). Twelve patients received 6 temozolomide cycles, corresponding to a success rate of 60% (95% confidence interval 36%–81%). Four patients discontinued temozolomide because they did not respond to romiplostim, 2 for progression, and 2 for adverse events unrelated to romiplostim.ConclusionThe thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim improves exposure to chemotherapy in patients with glioblastoma experiencing temozolomide-induced thrombocytopenia.Clinicaltrials.gov identifierNCT02227576.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class IV evidence that for patients with glioblastoma and thrombocytopenia, romiplostim is effective for the secondary prophylaxis of temozolomide-induced thrombocytopenia.

Abstract SB497115, is an orally bioavailable, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist that induces differentiation and proliferation of megakaryocytes. In a randomized, single blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, phase I study conducted in the UK in 72 healthy male subjects, SB497115 was administered as oral capsules once daily for 1 day and, after a 1 week washout, for 10 days at doses of 5 to 75 mg. Subjects were randomized into six groups of 12 subjects to receive either active or placebo medication in a ratio of 9:3. The study was conducted according to Good Clinical Practice and all subjects gave their written informed consent to participate in the study. SB497115 was well tolerated in the study, there were no serious adverse events, no significant changes in laboratory or cardiovascular safety parameters and there was no observed relationship between the incidence or severity of adverse events and dose. Most adverse events were mild in intensity and self-limiting. SB497115 was shown to be orally bioavailable in humans with a linear pharmacokinetic profile suitable for a once daily oral medication. When administered at oral doses of 30mg and above for 10 days a dose dependent increase in the platelet count was observed, maximum platelet count was observed on days 14 to 16 following initiation of dosing. The dose dependent increase in platelet count is shown in the table below. On the basis of these safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data the oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist, SB497115, will be studied in phase II trials involving thrombocytopenic patients.

e17510 Background: Limited effective treatments are available for advanced cervical cancer patients who progress after first-line chemotherapy. Historic data indicate PD-1 antibodies have significant activity in advanced cervical cancer patients. This study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of HLX10 (a recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody) plus albumin-bound paclitaxel in patients with advanced cervical cancer who have progressed on or are intolerant to first-line standard chemotherapy. Methods: This is an ongoing single-arm, open-label, multicenter, two-stage phase 2 study (NCT04150575). 143 eligible patients aged between 18 and 75, with histologically or cytologically diagnosed cervical cancer and positive PD-L1 expression (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1) were planned to be enrolled and given intravenous infusion of HLX10 (4.5 mg/kg) plus albumin-bound paclitaxel (260 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Stage one (N = 20) was a safety run-in and preliminary efficacy exploration study with primary endpoints of adverse events, serious adverse events and objective response rate (ORR, assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1). In this stage, after all patients completed two tumor evaluations (every 6 weeks), a safety evaluation and a preliminary evaluation of anti-tumor efficacy were conducted to determine whether to proceed to the second stage (N = 123). Stage two is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study with primary endpoint of ORR assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1. Results: Here we report the stage one results (safety and preliminary efficacy) of HLX10 in advanced cervical cancer patients. By cut-off date Oct 14, 2020, 21 eligible patients with median age of 50 (range: 31–65) and average CPS of 39.33 were enrolled; the median follow-up duration was 4.34 months. 71.4% patients had ECOG PS 1. The ORR assessed by IRRC and investigators were 52.4% (95% CI: 29.8%, 74.3%) and 42.9% (95% CI: 21.8%, 66.0%), respectively. The most common grade 3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were decreased neutrophil counts (n = 7, 33.3%), decreased white blood cell count (n = 6, 28.6%) and anemia (n = 4, 19.0%). No TEAEs leading to drug discontinuation were observed. One death (multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) possibly related to treatment was reported. Conclusions: Stage one results demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging efficacy (ORR 52.4%) of HLX10 plus albumin-bound paclitaxel in advanced cervical cancer patients who have progressive disease or intolerable toxicity to first-line standard chemotherapy, representing a novel potential treatment option that warranted further investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT04150575.

6012 Background: We previously reported significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) with the chemotherapy-free regimen of niraparib and bevacizumab compared to niraparib alone, in women with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer (PSROC), regardless of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status (MyChoice HRD), duration of chemotherapy-free interval (CFI) and number of previous lines of therapy (Mirza MR et al, Lancet Oncol 2019). We now present the updated PFS, overall survival (OS) and other efficacy and safety endpoints. Methods: In this randomized, open-label, phase 2 study, women with measurable/evaluable, high-grade serous or endometrioid PSROC were randomized to niraparib 300mg once daily or the combination of niraparib 300mg once daily and bevacizumab 15mg/kg IV every 3 weeks until disease progression (1:1 randomization). The primary endpoint was PFS. Stratification was according to HRD status and CFI (6-12months (mo) vs. > 12mo). First-line maintenance bevacizumab was permitted. Results: Of 97 enrolled patients, 48 were randomized to niraparib monotherapy and 49 to the chemotherapy-free combination. The combined treatment significantly improved PFS compared to niraparib alone: updated median PFS 12.5 mo vs. 5.5 mo; hazard ratio (HR) adjusted for stratification factors 0.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.21 to 0.55]; P < 0.0001. Preplanned exploratory subgroup analyses: patients with HRD-positive tumors (n = 54) HR 0.41 (CI, 0.23-0.76); HRD-negative disease (n = 43) HR, 0.40 (CI, 0.20-0.79); Time to First Subsequent Therapy (TFST) (n=97) HR, 0.4 (CI, 0.25-0.64); PFS2 (n=97) HR 0.55 (CI, 0.35-0.88); Time to Second Subsequent Therapy (TSST) (n=97) HR, 0.56 (CI, 0.35-0.90); OS (49 events only) HR, 0.77 (CI, 0.42-1.41). There was no difference in treatment-emergent grade 3-4 adverse events except for the rate of hypertension (22.9% vs. 0%) and neutropenia (8.3% vs. 2.0%). Patient-reported outcomes measured using EORTC QLQ-C30 and OV28 were similar for both treatment arms. Conclusions: Updated PFS consistently demonstrates that the niraparib-bevacizumab combination had clinically and statistically meaningful activity in PSROC. This phase 2 study was not powered to detect differences in OS or any other efficacy endpoints however TFST, PFS2 & TSST are significantly improved while there is a trend towards OS improvement with niraparib-bevacizumab combination. Clinical trial information: NCT02354131.

Abstract Introduction: Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is a serious and life-threatening complication of advanced myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Eltrombopag (EPAG), an oral thrombopoietin-receptor agonist, is approved for treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura and severe aplastic anemia. Preclinical studies showed that EPAG has potential antileukemic effects. A phase 1 study in advanced MDS/AML demonstrated an acceptable safety profile at doses up to 300 mg, with no worsening of leukemia, and it also showed a trend towards efficacy. Eltrombopag as monotherapy in MDS/AML has not been studied in a randomized fashion. Methods: In Study TRC114968 (ASPIRE), after 8 weeks of open-label, dose-defining EPAG treatment (Study Part 1), patients with highly advanced MDS or AML were randomized 2:1 to EPAG 100-300 mg or placebo (PBO) once daily for 12 weeks (Part 2), then entered a 6-month, open-label extension (Part 3). Patients were stratified by baseline platelet count (<10 Gi/L vs ≥10 Gi/L), and by MDS vs AML. Eligibility included 10-50% baseline bone marrow blasts and a baseline platelet count of <25 Gi/L. The primary endpoint was improvement in the clinically relevant thrombocytopenic event (CRTE) rate during the 12-week double-blind period. CRTE was a composite of a platelet transfusion requirement, significant bleeding event, or platelet count <10 Gi/L. Part 1 results have been presented previously. Blinded results for patients randomized in Part 2 of the study are presented below. Analyses of results by treatment arm, including those for the primary endpoint of CRTE, are ongoing and will be presented at the meeting. Results: A total of 145 patients were enrolled and randomized. According to WHO criteria, 72 (50%) had MDS and 73 (50%) had AML. See Table 1 for baseline characteristics. The majority of patients (n=91, 63%) were escalated to 300 mg (150 mg for East Asians) once daily. 70 patients (48%) completed the randomized portion of the study, and 58 (40%) entered the open-label extension. Patient disposition is described in Table 2. Out of the 144 treated patients, 97 patients (67%) have died (67 patients in Part 2 and 30 patients in Part 3). The main reasons for withdrawal from the study were adverse events (49 patients, 34%) and progressive disease (39 patients, 27%). The most common adverse events in Part 2 were petechiae, epistaxis, fatigue, pyrexia, and diarrhea. The main serious adverse events in Part 2 were pneumonia, sepsis, and febrile neutropenia. Liver test abnormality occurred in 1 (<1%). The median number of platelet transfusions for both groups was 10. Conclusions: This is the first study to evaluate EPAG as monotherapy in a randomized fashion in patients with advanced MDS or AML and severe thrombocytopenia. Overall safety was as expected for this patient population with no unexpected adverse events. This study provides evidence for the safety of EPAG in this mostly heavily pretreated patient population. An Independent Response Committee (IRC) is currently assessing responses and disease progression centrally by arm, and final data will be presented at the meeting.

411 Background: Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved outcomes in some pts with platinum-resistant mUC, many pts (eg, pts with TCGA luminal 1 tumors, many of whom are FGFRa) may not benefit. ERDA, a pan-FGFR (1-4) inhibitor, demonstrated promising phase 1 activity: 11 partial responses among 24 FGFRa mUC pts. We report efficacy and safety of ERDA in the ongoing global open-label phase 2 study BLC2001 (NCT02365597). Methods: Pts had measurable mUC with specific FGFR2/ FGFR3 mutations or translocations per central lab Janssen assay, ECOG 0-2, and were chemorefractory (progressed during/following ≥ 1 line of prior systemic chemo or ≤ 12 mos of [neo]adjuvant chemo). Cisplatin-ineligible, chemo-naïve pts, and prior ICI treatment were allowed. Pts were randomized 1:1 to 28-d cycles of oral 6 mg/d continuous dosing (6 C) or 10 mg/d intermittent 7 d on/7 d off dosing (10 I) ERDA; the dose was further uptitrated if no significant treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were observed. The primary end point was ORR. Results: 78 pts received 6 C and 33 pts received 10 I (10 I cohort stopped early) ERDA. 31 pts in 6 C arm were further uptitrated. Across arms, 50% had ≥ 2 prior lines of therapy; 93% were chemorefractory. Confirmed ORRs (RECIST 1.1) were 35% and 24%, and disease control rates (CR+PR+SD) were 74% and 73% in the 6 C and 10 I arms, respectively. Adverse events (AEs) were manageable, and there were no treatment-related deaths (Table). Treatment is ongoing in 10 pts. Conclusions: ERDA (6 C or 10 I) has promising efficacy and tolerability in pts with FGFRa mUC. Based on these results and ERDA pharmacometric modeling, dosing was optimized at 8 mg/d (continuous), and this cohort is ongoing. Phase 3 study is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02365597.

Abstract Background Acute vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is common among women, but current azole antifungal treatments are often associated with safety and resistance issues. VT-1161 (oteseconazole) is an oral agent with increased selectivity for fungal CYP51. In this phase 2 clinical study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of VT-1161 vs fluconazole in participants with moderate to severe acute VVC. Methods Participants presenting with an acute episode of VVC (n = 55) were randomized to receive VT-1161 300 mg once daily (q.d.) for 3 days, 600 mg q.d. for 3 days, or 600 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) for 3 days or to receive a single dose of fluconazole 150 mg (FDA-approved dose to treat acute VVC). Participants were followed for 6 months. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants with therapeutic (clinical and mycological) cure at day 28. Results A larger proportion of participants in the per-protocol population experienced therapeutic cure in the VT-1161 300 mg q.d. (75.0%), VT-1161 600 mg q.d. (85.7%), and VT-1161 600 mg b.i.d. (78.6%) groups vs the fluconazole group (62.5%); differences were not statistically significant. At 3 and 6 months, no participants in the VT-1161 groups vs 28.5% and 46.1% in the fluconazole group, respectively, had evidence of mycological recurrence. No serious adverse events or treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation were reported. Conclusions The majority of participants across all treatment groups achieved therapeutic cure at day 28. VT-1161 was well tolerated at all dose levels through 6 months of follow-up. Clinical Trials Registration NCT01891331.

BackgroundAccumulation and aberrant stabilization of transcription factor HIF-2α drives the expression of genes associated with progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Belzutifan, a first-in-class HIF-2α inhibitor, has demonstrated promising antitumor activity with a favorable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated ccRCC. The efficacy and safety of 2 doses of belzutifan in patients with advanced ccRCC who experienced progression after systemic therapy will be evaluated in this randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 trial (NCT04489771).MethodsApproximately 150 adults will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive oral belzutifan 120 mg once daily or 200 mg once daily. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic ccRCC (per RECIST v1.1) who experienced progression on or after 1 line of anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy as monotherapy or combined with other agents, with the immediately preceding line of treatment an anti–PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, will be enrolled. Progression is defined as received ≥2 doses of an anti–PD-1/PD-L1 agent and having demonstrated radiographic disease progression (per investigator). Other key eligibility criteria: ≤3 prior systemic regimens and a Karnofsky Performance Status Scale score ≥70%. Patients who previously received belzutifan or another HIF-2α inhibitor; require supplemental oxygen; have a baseline hemoglobin level <10 g/dL; have a history of HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection; or have active central nervous system metastases are excluded. Patients will be stratified by International mRCC Database Consortium prognostic scores (0, 1 or 2, or 3–6) and by number of prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor–containing therapies (0, 1, or 2 or 3). Treatment will continue until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging will be performed at baseline, 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. The study will enroll patients in at least 9 countries (Australia, Belgium, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and is recruiting.AcknowledgementsMedical writing and/or editorial assistance was provided by Matthew Grzywacz, PhD of ApotheCom (Yardley, PA, USA).
