2631 Background: MGC018 is an investigational ADC with a duocarmycin payload linked to an anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody (mAb). B7-H3 is expressed on multiple solid tumors with limited normal tissue expression. It is hypothesized that MGC018 may exert activity against B7-H3-expressing tumors with an acceptable safety profile. Studies demonstrate that B7-H3 is a significant factor in progression and events of metastasis of multiple tumor types, including melanoma. Methods: This phase 1 study characterizes safety, maximum tolerated or maximum administered dose, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and tumor response per RECIST v1.1 of MGC018 in a 3+3+3 dose escalation design in patients with advanced solid tumors. MGC018 was administered intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks. Results: The study enrolled 29 patients of multiple tumor types, which included 3 melanoma patients refractory to ≥2 prior lines of checkpoint therapy. The study completed 5 of 6 planned dose cohorts (0.5 mg/kg - 4 mg/kg) as of the data cutoff of 21 January 2021. The final cohort of 4 mg/kg has 3 patients with ongoing treatment and follow-up at the date of submission. Dosing MGC018 IV every 3 weeks resulted in minimal serum accumulation. At least 1 treatment emergent adverse event occurred in 29 patients (100.0%); most common (≥25%) were anemia, neutropenia, fatigue, hyperpigmentation, infusion related reaction, nausea, and palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia. Two dose-limiting toxicities occurred; one grade 4 neutropenia (2 mg/kg) and one grade 3 fatigue lasting 7 days (4 mg/kg). No febrile neutropenia was reported. The 3 melanoma patients had reductions in target lesion sum of 24.4%, 27.5%, and 35% (unconfirmed partial response) and remain on treatment as of the data cutoff. The recommended phase 2 dose was determined to be 3 mg/kg. Conclusions: Results to date demonstrate a manageable safety profile, with early evidence of clinical activity in pretreated metastatic melanoma. Cohort expansion is ongoing using a recommended phase 2 dose of 3 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks. The planned enrollment includes advanced metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, melanoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT03729596.

2580 Background: YH003, a recombinant, humanized agonistic anti-CD40 IgG2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) specifically recognizes and agonizes CD40 on the antigen-presenting cells to enhance immune responses. Preclinical data have shown potent anti-cancer activity when combined with anti-PD-1 antibodies. Methods: This is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study. Patients with advanced solid tumors receive YH003 by IV administration Q3W as monotherapy at 0.03 to 3.0 mg/kg for the first cycle (21 days) then in combination with Toripalimab at 240 mg Q3W for the 4 subsequent cycles in an accelerated “3+3” design. The safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy data will be analyzed. Results: As of 31 Dec 2020 data cutoff, 9 patients (pts) were enrolled and treated at 0.03 mg/kg (n = 3), 0.1mg/kg (n = 3), and 0.3mg/kg (n = 3). The median age was 63 years (range 33-68). Baseline ECOG scores were 0 (7 pts) and 1 (2 pts) with a median of 2 prior lines therapy (range 1-7). 5 pts had received prior immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-1+CTLA-4). As of data cutoff, no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were observed. No Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were reported. Four drug related AEs were reported including one Grade 1 (G1) choroidal thickening (related to YH003) at 0.03 mg/kg, one G1 fatigue (related to YH003) at 0.1 mg/kg, two G1 febrile episodes (one related to YH003 and the other related to combination treatment) at 0.3 mg/kg. Among 5 patients assessable for response, there were 2 SD (one with anti-PDL1 refractory Merkel cell carcinoma at 0.03 mg/kg and one with anti-PD1 refractory NSCLC at 0.1 mg/kg) and 1 PR with anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 refractory ocular melanoma at 0.1 mg/kg. Conclusions: YH003 was well tolerated up to 0.3 mg/kg dose levels when combined with Toripalimab and has shown encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT04481009.

TPS2673 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors directly targeting T cell activation have been successfully used in the treatment of various malignancies, nevertheless, the durable ORRs are low for certain indications. The low ORRs have been attributed to the immune suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), composed of innate immune suppressive components such as tumor associated macrophages (TAM) and myeloid-derived suppression cells (MDSC). The potential contributions of innate immune modulation to anti-tumor immunity, suggest the need for the novel strategies to elicit a more efficient/robust immune response against the targeted malignant cells. Axl, Mer and CSF1R receptor tyrosine kinases play vital roles in promoting an immune suppressive TME by affecting TAM and MDSC populations and by decreasing antigen presentation on tumor cells. Q702 is a novel Axl/Mer/CSF1R inhibitor, able to modulate the TAM and MDSC population leading to CD8+ T cell activation and to increase antigen presentation of the tumor cells in syngeneic animal models. Q702, as a monotherapy, shows significant tumor growth inhibition in multiple syngeneic tumor models, and demonstrates synergistic effects with anti-PD-1 treatment particularly in high myeloid containing tumor models. Interestingly, intermittent administration of Q702 monotherapy demonstrates a more favorable immune cell population changes, possibly through preventing immune exhaustion secondary to negative feedback with continuous activation. These results suggest that Q702 monotherapy or in combination with existing therapies have a good potential to become a novel treatment strategy for patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: “A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacokinetic Study of Q702 with a Cohort Expansion at the RP2D in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors. (NCT04648254)” is open and recruiting patients at 4 US investigative sites. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic solid tumors, that have progressed following SOC or for which there is no SOC which confers clinical benefit are being enrolled in this study. The study follows a standard dose escalation. The study will enroll up to 78 patients. The primary endpoint is to establish safety, PK profile and define the recommended phase 2 dose. The secondary and exploratory endpoints include establishing pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship, potential biomarkers and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Clinical trial information: NCT04648254.

12005 Background: C-1311 (Symadex) is the most active member of a new series of anti-cancer agents, the imidazoacridinones, specially designed compounds developed from research on the structure-activity relationships of existing cancer therapies. This clinical trial was designed to assess the safety profile of ascending doses of C-1311 and to determine the recommended dose when administered every 3 weeks (Q3W). Methods: Patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to conventional therapy were enrolled. The dose escalation scheme was divided into 2 phases with different schedules. Initially, C-1311 was given as a 1-hour daily infusion over 5 consecutive days. Following review of pre-clinical data, coupled with preliminary results of a parallel weekly study, a day 1 only schedule was explored. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose at which 2/3 or 2/6 pts experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The recommended dose (RD) is defined as the dose level below the MTD, confirmed by expansion of the RD cohort to 9 pts. Results: The first 5 patients were treated at doubling doses of 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 mg/m2 on a schedule of 1-hour daily infusions over 5 consecutive days, repeated every 3 weeks; no DLTs were seen. The 6th pt received the same total dose as the 5th (480 mg/m2) but on day 1 only, following which a modified Fibonacci design with cohorts of 3 pts and 33% dose increments was utilized. Subsequently, pts received C-1311 at doses of 640 mg/m2 (3 pts), 850 mg/m2 (3 pts) and 1100 mg/m2 (5 pts); 2/5 pts treated at 1100 mg/m2 experienced an identical DLT (grade 4 neutropenia for ≥7 days with grade 4 thrombocytopenia), defining this as the MTD. The 850 mg/m2 cohort was expanded to confirm this as the RD. Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia and fatigue have been reported as drug-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs). Grade 1 or 2 AEs most commonly described as drug-related are fatigue, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Stable disease was observed in two patients with advanced malignancy. A pt had a stable disease over 8 cycles and one over 6 cycles. Plasma drug concentrations are linear and proportional to dose. Conclusions: A C-1311 dose of 850 mg/m2 administered once every 3 weeks offers a predictable and tolerable safety profile. [Table: see text]

2617 Background: SNX-5422 is a prodrug of SNX-2112, a highly potent, non-geldanamycin analog, HSP90 inhibitor with preclinical anti-tumor activity in multiple tumor models. These phase 1 studies were designed to evaluate safety and tolerability, determine dose limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated doses (MTDs), and describe pharmacokinetics of SNX-2112 and SNX-5422. Methods: Two phase 1, open-label, 3 + 3 dose-escalation studies evaluated SNX-5422 when given daily (QD) or every-other-day (QOD) during the first 30 days of treatment in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. Plasma concentrations of SNX-2112 and SNX-5422 were measured after the first and 11th (steady state) doses. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks. Results: In both studies, pts received SNX-5422 QOD, 3 wks on/1 wk off, with doses ranging from 4 to 133 mg/m2 QOD. In one study, pts also received QD doses from 50 to 89 mg/m2, 3 wks on/1 wk off, and 50 mg/m2 QD continuously. Fifty-six pts (34M/22F; mean age 62 years) were enrolled. Treatment-related adverse events were mainly low grade (G), including diarrhea (64%), nausea (39%), vomiting (29%), fatigue (27%), abdominal pain (14%), and anorexia (14%). Reversible G 1 blurry vision, and G 1-2 blurry vision/vision darkening were reported by 1 pt on 100 mg/m2 QOD, and 4 pts treated with 50 to 89 mg/m2 QD. G 3 diarrhea was dose limiting in 2 of 3 pts (89 mg/m2 QD; 133 mg/m2 QOD). MTDs for the QOD and QD schedules were declared at100 mg/m2 and 67 mg/m2, respectively. The QD schedule was associated with higher incidences of treatment related adverse events. 38 pts were evaluable for response including 1 confirmed durable complete response, 1 unconfirmed partial response, and 17 with stable disease. Activity was seen in adrenal, lung, liver, neuroendocrine, GIST, and prostate. All but 2 were seen with the QOD schedule. Conclusions: SNX-5422 mono-therapy was generally well tolerated and showed promising signs of efficacy in pts with advanced solid tumors. Given the superior benefit-risk profile of QOD dosing over QD dosing based on these preliminary clinical findings, 100 mg/m2 QOD has been selected for further clinical testing. Clinical trial information: NCT00506805 and NCT01611623.
