Abstract Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand-1 blockade may potentially augment graft-vs-tumor effects following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), but retrospective studies of anti–PD-1 therapy reported substantial toxicity from graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Here, we report the results of a prospective clinical trial of PD-1 blockade for relapsed hematologic malignancies (HMs) after alloHCT (NCT01822509). The primary objective in this phase 1 multicenter, investigator-initiated study was to determine maximum tolerated dose and safety. Secondary objectives were to assess efficacy and immunologic activity. Patients with relapsed HMs following alloHCT were eligible. Nivolumab was administered every 2 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity, starting with a 1-mg/kg cohort, with planned deescalation based on toxicity to a 0.5-mg/kg cohort. Twenty-eight patients were treated (n = 19 myeloid, n = 9 lymphoid). Median age was 57 years (range 27-76), and median time from alloHCT to enrollment was 21 months (range 5.6-108.5). Two of 6 patients treated at 1 mg/kg experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) from immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Twenty-two patients were treated at 0.5 mg/kg, and 4 DLTs occurred, including 2 irAEs and 2 with fatal GVHD. The overall response rate in efficacy-evaluable patients was 32% (8/25). With a median follow-up of 11 months, the 1-year progression-free survival and overall survival were 23% and 56%, respectively. In this first prospective clinical trial of an anti–PD-1 antibody for post–alloHCT relapse, GVHD and irAEs occurred, requiring dose deescalation, with only modest antitumor activity. Further studies of anti–PD-1 therapy post–alloHCT may require specific toxicity mitigation strategies. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT 01822509.

TPS3626 Background: Trifluridine/tipiracil, also known as TAS‐102, is a combination of an antineoplastic thymidine‐based nucleoside analogue (trifluridine) and a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (tipiracil hydrochloride). The antitumor activity of combined trifluridine/tipiracil and oxaliplatin has been studied in gastrointestinal tumor xenografts, including a 5‐FU resistant subline, using a nude mouse model. This study demonstrated increased antitumor activity for the combination compared to trifluridine/tipiracil or oxaliplatin alone (p < 0.001) (Nukatsuka et al., Anticancer Res 2015). These data support the rationale for clinical use of the combination. We describe a phase 1, international, dose-escalation study of the combination in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods: This trial includes mCRC patients pretreated with at least one line of standard chemotherapy. The 14‐day administration schedule of trifluridine/tipiracil differs from current clinical practice to avoid overlapping toxicity, notably decreased neutrophils due to oxaliplatin or trifluridine/tipiracil. Trifluridine/tipiracil is administered orally (cohort 1: 25 mg/m² bid; cohort 2: 30 mg/m² bid; cohort 3: 35 mg/m² bid) from day 1 to 5; and oxaliplatin at 85 mg/m² (with a possibility to reduce to 65 mg/m²) on day 1. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) through a 3+3 design. Secondary objectives include safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy (overall survival, progression‐free survival, overall response rate and biomarkers). As of December 2016, no dose‐limiting toxicities had been reported in cohorts 1 or 2. The MTD has not yet been reached and dose‐escalation continues with enrollment in cohort 3 at full dose for both drugs (trifluridine/tipiracil 35 mg/m² bid and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m²). Once established, the MTD will be confirmed in 6 additional patients to define the recommended dose to be used in the expansion part of the study planned in the same patient population. The results of the dose‐escalation part are expected in 2017. (NCT02848443). Clinical trial information: NCT02848443.

438 Background: T-VEC is a genetically modified HSV-1 oncolytic immunotherapy designed to preferentially replicate in tumors, produce GM-CSF, and stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. This study evaluates the safety of intrahepatic injection (inj) of T-VEC in patients (pts) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases (mets). Methods: The primary objective is to assess the maximum tolerated dose. Eligible pts were ≥ 18 years (y) old, had progressive HCC or breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), gastroesophageal cancer, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or renal cell cancer with liver mets, with measurable liver tumors suitable for inj. This dose escalation study comprised 2 groups: A (non-HCC) and B (HCC). T-VEC was given initially at 106 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL followed by up to 4 mL of 107 PFU/mL (cohort 1) or 108 PFU/mL (cohort 2) every 21 (±3) days (Q21D), or up to 8 mL of the maximum tolerated concentration (MTC) Q21D (cohort 3). Inj volume was based on lesion size. Results: Results from cohorts 1 and 2 of group A are reported. 14 pts were treated; 12 (3 BC, 9 CRC) were DLT-evaluable: Median age was 65.5 y (range: 33, 73); median number of inj was 3; 1 pt received all 12 inj. MTC was 108 PFU/mL. There was 1 DLT, grade 3 aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/grade 2 bilirubin increase (inc), after 1 dose. In all treated pts, 4 (28.6%) had grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs): anemia and inc gamma-glutamyltransferase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and AST. There were 2 deaths attributable to disease. Incidence of serious AEs (SAEs) is shown (Table). Conclusions: The MTC was 108 PFU/mL Q21D after initial inj at 106 PFU/mL. Repeated intrahepatic inj of T-VEC at the FDA-approved concentration for intralesional inj of melanoma was deemed tolerable and feasible in pts with liver mets. Additional investigation in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02509507. [Table: see text]

398 Background: The PI3K/mTOR pathway has emerged as a potential target for anticancer therapy. Considerable evidence suggests that targeting a single isoform of PI3K (p110α) would have sufficient antitumor activity and improved therapeutic window. Further, PI3KCA mutations, gene encoding isoform p110α, are described in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). BYL719 is an oral class I α-specific PI3K inhibitor that showed preclinical anti-tumor activity. The first in human phase 1 trial of BYL719 defined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) at 400mg QD. Methods: This was a phase I, single center study (standard 3+3 design). The primary objective was to determine the MTD of BYL719 in combination with gemcitabine (G) and nab-paclitaxel (nabP) as frontline therapy in locally advanced or metastatic PAC. BYL719 was given orally daily (Table). Patients (pts) were restaged q2 cycles. The study was closed prematurely due to slow accrual. Results: Fifteen pts were enrolled (median age was 58 years). Three pts each participated in cohorts 1 and 2. Nine pts were enrolled in cohort 3, but 4 were replaced (3 pts withdrew consent prior to evaluation and 1 missed > 10 days of treatment). One pt in cohort 3 had DLT related to grade 3 nausea and vomiting. A total of 19 grade 3 and 4 adverse events were records as probably or possibly associated with BYL719. The most common ones were hyperglycemia, anemia, and neutrophil count decreased. One pt developed Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) during cycle 7. Although we could not completely exclude BYL719 as a cause, PRES was attributed to G. One pt had sudden death during cycle 4 that was attributed to progression. Only 8 pts were evaluable for response. Two had stable disease, 5 had partial responses and 1 had progression. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 5.36 months (1.6 to 10 months) and 8.74 months (3.8 to 21.2 months) respectively. Conclusions: The combination of full doses of G + nabP and BYL719 can be safely administered up to BYL dose of 250 mg/day. Clinical trial information: NCT02155088. [Table: see text]

TPS451 Background: SEA-CD40 is an investigational non-fucosylated, humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody directed against CD40, a co-stimulatory receptor expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Activation of CD40 on APCs upregulates cytokine production and co-stimulatory receptors, enhancing tumor antigen presentation to T cells. Preclinical data indicate that treatment of PDAC with chemotherapy in conjunction with a CD40 agonist could enhance antigen presentation and initiate an antitumor immune response (Byrne KT and Vonderheide RH, Cell Rep 2016;15, 2719–2732). A Phase 1 study (SGNS40-001) is evaluating SEA-CD40 monotherapy and in combination with other agents in pts with advanced solid or hematologic malignancies. A cohort is enrolling to evaluate the combination of SEA-CD40, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab in PDAC. Methods: The cohort consists of pts with metastatic PDAC who have had no prior therapy for metastatic disease. Pts must be ≥18 years old, with (neo)adjuvant therapy completed > 4 months prior to enrollment; ECOG status ≤1; adequate renal, hepatic, and hematologic function; and measurable disease per RECIST v 1.1 criteria. A standard regimen of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle is administered with SEA-CD40 IV on Day 3. Pembrolizumab is administered every 42 days starting on Day 8. The primary objective is to evaluate antitumor activity; secondary objectives are to evaluate safety and tolerability and SEA-CD40 and pembrolizumab pharmacokinetics. Efficacy endpoints are confirmed RECIST objective response rate per investigator (primary), disease control rate (response or stable disease ≥16 weeks), duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Disease is assessed every 8 weeks using RECIST and immune-based RECIST (iRECIST). Treatment continues until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease per iRECIST, consent withdrawal, or study closure, whichever occurs first. Assessment of dose-limiting toxicity will occur initially in groups of 6 pts to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of SEA-CD40 for the cohort. Enrollment to this cohort began in November 2019. Clinical trial information: NCT02376699.

TPS11626 Background: Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a rare cancer that affects children and young adults. Patients with recurrent/refractory ES have a poor prognosis (5-year survival 10-15%) with no improvement despite advances in cytotoxic and targeted therapies. Genomic rearrangements resulting in fusion proteins and over-expression of ets family transcription factors occur in 95% of ES. In particular, the EWS-FLI1 oncogenic fusion creates a constitutively active transcription factor that drives the malignant ES phenotype. Strategies to target the EWS-FLI1 fusion protein have been limited by lack of specificity. A promising approach is to target the interaction of the ets transcription factor with its critical protein partner, RNA helicase A (RHA). TK216 is a novel small-molecule that directly binds to EWS-FLI1 and inhibits its function by blocking binding to RHA. TK216 demonstrates potent anti-proliferative effects on ES cell lines and xenografts. Methods: We initiated a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation/dose-expansion trial of TK216 in patients with recurrent/refractory ES who are ≥12 years of age (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02657005). TK216 is dosed based on body surface area and administered as a continuous intravenous infusion for 7 days followed by 14 days rest every 21 days. Treatment may continue in the absence of disease progression. One intrapatient dose escalation is allowed. Enrollment of 6 to 8 cohorts using a 3+3 dose-escalation design is anticipated. During dose expansion, a total of 18 patients with ES will be accrued at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and RP2D of TK216. Secondary objectives are to assess the safety profile, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of TK216. Molecular assays will be performed to characterize EWS-FLI or EWS-ets abnormalities in archival tumor tissue. The overall response rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival will be determined in the expansion cohort. Nine patients have been enrolled since June 2016. Accrual to cohorts 1, 2, and 3 completed and cohort 4 opened in January 2017. Clinical trial information: NCT02657005.

Background: Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) occur in 60% of chondrosarcoma, 80% of WHO grade II-IV glioma and 20% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. These solid IDH1-mutated tumors produce the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) and are more vulnerable to disruption of their metabolism. Methods: Patients with IDH1-mutated chondrosarcoma, glioma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma received oral combinational treatment with the antidiabetic drug metformin and the antimalarial drug chloroquine. The primary objective was to determine the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Radiological and biochemical tumor responses to metformin and chloroquine were investigated using CT/MRI scans and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measurements of D-2HG levels in serum. Results: Seventeen patients received study treatment for a median duration of 43 days (range: 7–74 days). Of twelve evaluable patients, 10 patients discontinued study medication because of progressive disease and two patients due to toxicity. None of the patients experienced a DLT. The MTD was determined to be 1500 mg of metformin two times a day and 200 mg of chloroquine once a day. A serum D/L-2HG ratio of ≥4.5 predicted the presence of an IDH1 mutation with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100%. By utilization of digital droplet PCR on plasma samples, we were able to detect tumor-specific IDH1 hotspot mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in investigated patients. Conclusion: Treatment of advanced IDH1-mutated solid tumors with metformin and chloroquine was well tolerated but did not induce a clinical response in this phase Ib clinical trial.

Abstract Background Mebendazole is an anthelmintic drug introduced for human use in 1971 that extends survival in preclinical models of glioblastoma and other brain cancers. Methods A single center dose escalation and safety study of mebendazole in 24 patients with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas (HGG) in combination with temozolomide was conducted. Patients received mebendazole in combination with adjuvant temozolomide after completing concurrent radiation plus temozolomide. Dose escalation levels were 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day of oral mebendazole. A 15-patient expansion cohort was conducted at the maximum tolerated dose of 200 mg/kg/day. Trough plasma levels of mebendazole were measured at 4, 8 and 16 weeks. Results Twenty-four patients (18 glioblastoma, 6 anaplastic astrocytoma) were enrolled with median age of 49.9 years. Four patients (at 200 mg/kg) developed elevated grade 3 ALT and/or AST after one month, which reversed with lower dosing or discontinuation. Plasma levels of mebendazole were variable but generally increased with dose. Kaplan Meier analysis showed a 21-month median survival with 43% of patients alive at two years and 25% at 3 and 4 years. Median progression free survival (PFS) from the date of diagnosis for 17 patients taking more than one month of mebendazole was 13.1 months (95% Confidence Interval: 8.8 to 14.6 months) but for seven patients who received less than one month of mebendazole PFS was 9.2 months (95% CI: 5.8 -13.0 months). Conclusion Mebendazole at doses up to 200 mg/kg demonstrated long-term safety and acceptable toxicity. Further studies are needed to determine mebendazole’s efficacy in patients with HGG.

SummaryBackground This open-label, phase 1 study investigated TAS4464, a potent NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor, in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (JapicCTI-173,488; registered 13/01/2017). The primary objective was dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) was investigated using an accelerated titration design. Methods The starting 10-mg/m2 dose was followed by an initial accelerated stage (weekly dosing; n = 11). Based on liver function test (LFT) results, a 14-day, 20-mg/m2 dose lead-in period was implemented (weekly dosing with lead-in; n = 6). Results Abnormal LFT changes and gastrointestinal effects were the most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs). DLTs with 56-mg/m2 weekly dosing occurred in 1/5 patients; five patients had grade ≥ 2 abnormal LFT changes at 40- and 56-mg/m2 weekly doses. Further dose escalation ceased because of the possibility of severe abnormal LFT changes occurring. DLTs with weekly dosing with lead-in occurred in 1/5 patients at a 56-mg/m2 dose; MTD could not be determined because discontinuation criteria for additional enrollment at that particular dose level were met. As no further enrollment at lower doses occurred, dose escalation assessment was discontinued. Serious treatment-related AEs, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, and DLTs were all related to abnormal LFT changes, suggesting that TAS4464 administration could affect liver function. This effect was dose-dependent but considered reversible. Complete or partial responses to TAS4464 were not observed; one patient achieved prolonged stable disease. Conclusions MTD could not be determined due to TAS4464 effects on liver function. Further evaluation of the mechanism of NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor-induced abnormal liver function is required. Trial registration number JapicCTI-173,488 (registered with Japan Pharmaceutical Information Center). Registration date 13 January 2017

Abstract Duvelisib (also known as IPI-145) is an oral, dual inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase δ and γ (PI3K-δ,γ) being developed for treatment of hematologic malignancies. PI3K-δ,γ signaling can promote B-cell proliferation and survival in clonal B-cell malignancies, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). In a phase 1 study, duvelisib showed clinically meaningful activity and acceptable safety in CLL/SLL patients. We report here the results of DUO, a global phase 3 randomized study of duvelisib vs ofatumumab monotherapy for patients with relapsed or refractory (RR) CLL/SLL. Patients were randomized 1:1 to oral duvelisib 25 mg twice daily (n = 160) or ofatumumab IV (n = 159). The study met the primary study end point by significantly improving progression-free survival per independent review committee assessment compared with ofatumumab for all patients (median, 13.3 months vs 9.9 months; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.52; P &lt; .0001), including those with high-risk chromosome 17p13.1 deletions [del(17p)] and/or TP53 mutations (HR = 0.40; P = .0002). The overall response rate was significantly higher with duvelisib (74% vs 45%; P &lt; .0001) regardless of del(17p) status. The most common adverse events were diarrhea, neutropenia, pyrexia, nausea, anemia, and cough on the duvelisib arm, and neutropenia and infusion reactions on the ofatumumab arm. The DUO trial data support duvelisib as a potentially effective treatment option for patients with RR CLL/SLL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02004522.

Abstract CNS metastases are a prominent driver of cancer morbidity and mortality, especially as targeted therapies have improved systemic outcomes. Mutations in the ErbB/HER kinase family are known oncodrivers in many cancers. Extensive crosstalk among ErbB/HER receptors suggests that inhibition of multiple family members may benefit treatment and limit drug resistance. There is a desperate need for new agents that are more tolerable and effective in treating CNS metastases. EO1001 (APL-122) is a first-in-class, oral, irreversible pan-ErbB inhibitor targeting ErbB1, ErbB2 and ErbB4 with promising CNS penetration in preclinical models. Preclinical data suggests a favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile and activity against ErbB-driven cancers in patient-derived xenograft models. We report on a first-in-human Phase 1-2 clinical trial in progress. Adult participants with confirmed ErbB-positive cancer, including patients with CNS involvement, who have progressed after standard-of-care, with adequate bone marrow, renal and liver function are eligible. ESCALATION: One subject per dose cohort is enrolled in an accelerated dose-escalation design until drug-related toxicity (≥G2) is observed in the first cycle, after which dose escalation will revert to a 3 + 3 design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Cycle 1: Patients receive a single oral dose of EO1001 on day 1; single-dose pharmacokinetics are measured. Beginning on day 8, EO1001 is administered once daily for 21 days; multi-dose pharmacokinetics are measured. Cycles 2-6: EO1001 is administered once daily in continuous 28-day cycles for up to 20 weeks. EXPANSION: EO1001 will be administered once daily to 20 patients at the MTD in continuous 28-day cycles for up to 6 cycles to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for further study. Toxicity is assessed based on NCI CTCAEv5 and tumor response is assessed by RECIST 1.1. CNS exposure is evaluated in patients via CSF collection with confirmed CNS disease involvement.
