3527 Background: PF-00562271 is a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor of FAK and, to a lesser extent, Pyk2. FAK transduces signaling from integrins and growth factors to modulate multiple properties important in neoplasia, including tumor cell invasion, proliferation and survival. Structure-activity relationships and preclinical antitumor activity are reported (W.G. Roberts et al, Proc AACR, 2007). Methods: Phase 1 dose-escalation study of PF-00562271 given as twice daily oral doses in 21 day cycles. Endpoints included safety, tolerability, PK, PD (serial tumor biopsies) and antitumor activity. PD was also evaluated by tumor glucose metabolism using FDG-PET. Dose escalation was performed in sequential cohorts of 3–6 pts. Results: 32 pts received 5 mg up to 105 mg BID with demographics M:F = 10:22; median age 60 (range 38–80). Primary tumor sites: colorectal (10), breast (4), neuroendocrine (2), lung (2), gastric (2), SCC (2), ovary (2), others (8). A total of 136 cycles have been administered, median = 3.2, range = 1–10+. Adverse events (AEs) possibly related to PF-00562271 in over 10% of pts included nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anorexia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, sensory neuropathy, rash, constipation, dizziness. AEs were generally CTC grades 1–2 and reversible. Cmax and AUC increased dose-dependently, and AUC accumulated over 6-fold by day 14. Doses over 15 mg BID produced steady-state plasma concentrations, exceeding target efficacious levels predicted from preclinical models. On day 14, PET scans in one pt demonstrated significant (46%) decline in SUV of metastatic ovarian carcinoma, associated with improved tumor-related symptoms. Nine pts tolerated over 3 cycles and another 4 pts continued treatment over 6 cycles with stable disease. At 105 mg BID, dose- limiting toxicities included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Conclusions: At the doses evaluated, PF-00562271 is tolerable with extended BID oral administration and exhibits favorable PK and PD. Additional dose and schedule evaluations continue, and updated clinical and biomarker results will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Summary LY3023414 is an oral, selective adenosine triphosphate-competitive inhibitor of class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase isoforms, mammalian target of rapamycin, and DNA-protein kinase in clinical development. We report results of a 3 + 3 dose-escalation Phase 1 study for twice-daily (BID) dosing of LY3023414 monotherapy in Japanese patients with advanced malignancies. The primary objective was to evaluate tolerability and safety of LY3023414. Secondary objectives were to evaluate pharmacokinetics and to explore antitumor activity. A total of 12 patients were enrolled and received 150 mg (n = 3) or 200 mg (n = 9) LY3023414 BID. Dose-limiting toxicities were only reported at 200 mg LY3023414 for 2 patients with Grade 3 stomatitis. Common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) across both the dose levels included stomatitis (75.0%), nausea (66.7%), decreased appetite (58.3%), diarrhea, and decreased platelet count (41.7%), and they were mostly mild or moderate in severity. Related AEs Grade ≥ 3 reported for ≥1 patient included anemia, stomatitis, hypophosphatemia, and hyperglycemia (n = 2, 16.7%). Two patients discontinued due to AEs (interstitial lung disease and stomatitis). No fatal events were reported. The pharmacokinetic profile of LY3023414 was characterized by rapid absorption and elimination. Five patients had a best overall response of stable disease (150 mg, n = 3; 200 mg, n = 2) for a 55.6% disease control rate. LY3023414 up to 200 mg BID is tolerable and safe in Japanese patients with advanced malignancies.

e15126 Background: Somastatin analogs (SSA), including octreotide and lanreotide, bind predominantly to somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 and form the foundation of treatment for symptomatic neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Pasireotide, a novel SSA with a broad binding affinity (SSTR 1-3 and 5), is being explored for treatment of NET. A phase 1 dose-escalation study (NCT01364415) of pasireotide long-acting release (LAR; starting dose of 80 mg) was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and to characterize safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy in pts with advanced NET. Methods: Pts with advanced, well- or moderately differentiated NET received pasireotide LAR beginning at a dose of 80 mg q28d. Successive cohorts will receive doses (up to 220 mg) guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model until MTD/RP2D is reached. Results: To date, 15 pts have been treated at 80 mg (n=6) and 120 mg (n=9). Median age is 59 (44-76) years. Primary tumor sites include small intestine (40%), pancreas (20%), and lung (13.3%). All pts received prior antineoplastic therapy; 93% received prior SSA. Median number of cycles of pasireotide was 6.68 (2-14) (1 cycle=28 days). 10 (67%) pts remain on treatment: 3 on 80 mg and 7 on 120 mg. 5 (33%) have discontinued (disease progression, 2 pts; withdrew consent, 2 pts; adverse event [AE], 1 pt). Median plasma concentrations of pasireotide increased with dose. No dose-limiting toxicities have been reported. Most frequent AEs were similar in both dose groups and included hyperglycemia (87%), diarrhea (53%), abdominal pain (47%), nausea (40%), anemia (33%), and fatigue (33%). Most AEs were mild/moderate. 2 pts (1 in each group) had grade 3 hyperglycemia. 4 (27%) and 2 (13%) pts had HbA1C increase from <6.5% at baseline to 6.5-<8% and ≥8%, respectively. 13 (87%) pts had radiographically stable disease as best response. More pts at 120 mg (50%) vs 80 mg (33%) achieved ≥50% reduction in chromogranin A. Conclusions: Pasireotide LAR up to 120 mg appears to be well tolerated in patients with advanced NET. The study is ongoing. Pasireotide represents a promising therapy for pts with NET. Clinical trial information: NCT01364415.

320 Background: MEDI-565, a bispecific single-chain antibody, targets human CEA on tumor cells and the CD3 epsilon subunit of the human T-cell receptor complex. In murine models, MEDI-565 showed antitumor activity in CEA-expressing tumors (J Immunother 2009;34:341-52). Methods: This phase 1, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study enrolled adults with GI adenocarcinomas (including esophageal, gastric, small intestine, colorectal, biliary tract, and pancreatic). MEDI-565 was given intravenously over 3 h on days 1–5 in 28-day cycles, with 4 single-patient (pt) (0.75–20 μg) and 5 standard 3+3 escalation (60 μg–3 mg; 1.5–7.5 mg with dexamethasone [dex]) cohorts. Primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD); secondary objectives were to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), antidrug antibody (ADA), and antitumor activity. Results: Study enrolled39 pts: mean age 59 y; 56% male; 28 (72%) colorectal, 6 (15%) pancreatic, 5 (13%) other. Dose-limiting toxicities (grade ≥ 3 nonhematologic) were seen in 4 pts (2 at 3-mg; 2 at 7.5-mg + dex): hypoxia (n = 2), diarrhea, and cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) seen in 5 pts: diarrhea, CRS, increased alanine aminotransferase, hypertension (all n = 1), and hypoxia (n = 2). Treatment-related serious AEs seen in 6 pts: diarrhea, vomiting, pyrexia, CRS (all n = 1), and hypoxia (n = 2). Five pts discontinued treatment due to AEs: diarrhea, CRS, central nervous system metastases, and hypoxia (n = 2). MEDI-565 exposures increased in approximately dose-proportional manner, with clearance (35–77 L/d) and half-life (2–7 h) typical of drug class. ADA had minor impact; 19 pts (48.7%) had ADAs, 5/39 (12.8%) with high titer, with decreased MEDI-565 concentrations in 2 pts. Plasma inflammatory cytokines were elevated posttreatment in several pts at 1.5- and 3-mg (no dex) dose levels. No objective responses were observed; 11 (28%) pts had stable disease as best response. Conclusions: The MTD of MEDI-565 in pts with GI adenocarcinomas was 5 mg with dex. PK was linear, with fast clearance and short half-life. No objective responses were observed. Clinical trial information: NCT01284231.

TPS2602 Background: BAL101553 (prodrug of BAL27862), is a novel TCC that promotes tumor cell death by modulating the spindle assembly checkpoint. BAL27862 has shown potent antitumor activity in diverse preclinical tumor models, including models refractory to standard therapies. In a completed Phase 1 study using 2-h IV infusions (Days 1, 8, 15, q28d, NCT01397929 , CDI-CS-001, Lopez et al. JCO 34, 2016 suppl; 2525) dose-limiting vascular effects were observed and appeared Cmax related. The recommended Phase 2 dose for 2-h IV BAL101553 is 30 mg/m2. Vascular toxicity was not observed in an ongoing study with oral BAL101553 (NCT02490800, CDI-CS-002) at daily doses up to 30 mg (QD). Preclinical data suggest that antiproliferative effects of BAL101553/27862 are driven by exposure (AUC); thus vascular toxicity and antitumor activity are mediated by different PK drivers. BAL27862 has a half-life of ~15 h. Based on PK-modeling, extending the infusion from 2 h to 48 h was expected to result in ~4-fold higher AUC at a given Cmaxlevel and thereby improve the therapeutic window. Methods: This is an ongoing multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 dose-escalation study (NCT02895360, CDI-CS-003/SAKK67/15) using a 3+3 design to determine the MTD, characterize dose-limiting toxicities and assess the PK, PD and antitumor activities of 48-h infusions of BAL101553 in consecutive 28-day cycles at a starting dose of 30 mg/m2 administered on Day 1, 8 and 15 (q28d). The dose escalation scheme foresees up to ~ 50% dose increments depending on observed toxicities. During cycle 2, patients receive 7 days oral (QD) BAL101553 (Day 15–21) instead of the weekly IV infusion to assess absolute oral bioavailability. Patients with histologically-confirmed advanced or recurrent solid tumors are eligible for enrollment. Adverse events are assessed using CTCAEv4; tumor response by RECIST 1.1 (every 2 cycles). PD assessments include optional tumor biopsies and circulating tumor cells. PK profiles are assessed during the first 2 cycles. Two dose cohorts (30 and 45 mg/m2) have completed without DLTs or signs of vascular toxicity. Clinical trial information: NCT02895360.

4117 Background: The multikinase inhibitor sorafenib is standard of care for pts with advanced HCC. Tivantinib, an oral, selective MET inhibitor, demonstrated synergistic antitumor activity when combined with sorafenib in several tumor models. The phase 1 dose-escalation study assessed the safety profile of tivantinib plus sorafenib in pts with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Endpoints were safety, the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tivantinib plus sorafenib, and antitumor activity. Dose escalation previously established the RP2D as tivantinib 360 mg twice daily (BID) plus sorafenib 400 mg BID. Extension cohorts enrolled ≤ 20 pts each with HCC or other tumors. Patients were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After a safety review in HCC pts in other studies and a report of febrile neutropenia in this study, the tivantinib dose for newly enrolled pts was reduced to 240 mg BID. Results: 20 pts with HCC (mean age, 62 yr; Child-Pugh [CP] A [n = 14], or CP B [n = 6]) were treated at the RP2D (n = 10) or at the reduced tivantinib dose plus sorafenib (n = 10). 10 pts received ≥ 1 previous systemic anticancer treatment (median, 0.5; range, 0-3). The most common adverse events (≥ 25%) were rash (40%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (35%), fatigue and diarrhea (30% each), and nausea and anorexia (25% each). Neutropenia was reported in 2 pts. Best response was 1 complete response (CR), 1 partial response (PR), and 12 stable disease (SD). Overall response rate and disease control rate were 10% and 70%, respectively. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 3.5 mo (95% CI, 2.8-11.1 mo). Among 8 pts previously treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors (6 sorafenib; 1 sunitinib; 1 sorafenib plus sunitinib), best response was 1 CR, 1 PR, and 3 SD, and mPFS was 15.9 mo (95% CI, 1.6-15.9 mo). 2 pts are still on study. Conclusions: The combination of tivantinib (360 mg BID) plus sorafenib (240 mg BID) was well tolerated. Preliminary evidence of antitumor activity indicates that combined inhibition of MET and angiogenic signals may have therapeutic potential in this setting, including pts pretreated with VEGF inhibitors.

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.

TPS2601 Background: BAL101553 (prodrug of BAL27862) is a novel TCC that promotes tumor cell death by modulating the spindle assembly checkpoint. BAL27862 is a lipophilic, small molecule (MW 387) shown in rats to penetrate the brain (1:1 plasma ratio) and has shown promising antitumor activity in orthotopic preclinical models of GBM as monotherapy or in combination with radiotherapy (RT) with/without chemotherapy. In a completed Phase 1 study with 2-h IV infusions (Days 1, 8, 15, q28d, NCT01397929 , CDI-CS-001, Lopez et al. J Clin Oncol 34, 2016 suppl; 2525), dose-limiting vascular effects were observed and appeared Cmax related. Preclinical data suggest that antiproliferative effects of BAL101553/27862 are driven by exposure (AUC); thus vascular toxicity and antitumor activity are mediated by different PK drivers. In this ongoing study (NCT02490800, CDI-CS-002), daily oral BAL101553 was initially examined in solid-tumor patients; no vascular toxicities were observed at doses up to the MAD of 30 mg QD. Given this absence, the study was amended to enroll separate cohorts of patients with progressive or recurrent GBM or high-grade glioma. Methods: This is an ongoing multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 dose-escalation study using a 3+3 design to determine the MTD, characterize dose-limiting toxicities and assess the PK, PD and antitumor activities of daily oral administration of BAL101553 in consecutive 28-day cycles at a starting dose of 8 mg QD. Patients with histologically-confirmed GBM or high-grade glioma, with progressive or recurrent disease after prior RT with/without chemotherapy, are eligible for enrollment. This includes patients with histologically-confirmed low-grade glioma with unequivocal evidence by imaging of transformation to high-grade glioma. Adverse events are assessed using CTCAEv4; tumor response by RANO (every 2 cycles). The dose escalation allows for doubling of dose levels depending on observed toxicities. PD assessments include circulating tumor cells. PK profiles are assessed throughout the first two treatment cycles. Clinical trial information: NCT02490800.

1054 Background: SERDs result in ER competitive antagonism and degradation and can block signaling in ER-dependent tumors resistant to other endocrine therapies. This study investigates SAR439859, a potent oral SERD, +/- palbociclib in ER+/HER2- mBC. Here are preliminary results, as of 28 Nov 2018, for single-agent SAR439859 dose escalation. Methods: Part A of this Phase 1/2 study (NCT03284957; TED14856) assessed SAR439859 dose escalation (dose range: 20–600 mg once daily [QD]; 3 + 3 design) in postmenopausal women with ER+/HER2- mBC treated for ≥ 6 months with prior endocrine therapy and ≤ 3 chemotherapies in the advanced setting. Endpoints: dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs); maximum tolerated dose (MTD); safety; pharmacokinetics (PK); tumor response (RECIST 1.1); pharmacodynamic (PD) inhibition of ER occupancy (18FES-PET scan). Results: Patients (pts; n = 16) had a median age of 59.5 years (range 40–79), ECOG performance status of 0 (62.5%) or 1 (37.5%) and a median of three prior anticancer therapies (range 1–8) in the advanced setting (endocrine therapy n = 16; chemo/targeted therapy n = 13). All pts had ≥ 1 treatment emergent adverse event (mostly grade 1–2); most frequent were asthenia/fatigue (43.8%), hot flushes (37.5%), nausea (37.5%), diarrhea (31.3%), constipation (31.3%), and decreased appetite (31.3%). There were no DLTs at any of the five dose levels (maximum administered dose: 600 mg QD); MTD was not reached. In 18FES-PET scans, signal inhibition > 87% occurred with plasma concentrations > 100 ng/mL. There was a dose proportional increase of exposure up to 400 mg after repeated QD doses. Average Ctrough was reached after repeated 400 mg QD allowing 90% of 18FES-PET signal inhibition. One pt (6.3%) had confirmed partial response (150 mg QD); eight (50%) had stable disease (SD) including three (18.8%) long-term SD (≥ 24 weeks); seven (43.8%) had progressive disease. Conclusions: SAR439859 had a favorable safety profile, high ER occupancy and encouraging antitumor activity (to be confirmed in dose expansion) in pretreated pts with ER+/HER2- mBC. With no DLTs and MTD, 400 mg QD was selected for expansion cohorts based on safety, PD and PK data. Funding: Sanofi. Clinical trial information: NCT03284957.

Abstract Objective A phase 1 dose-escalation study of polatuzumab vedotin (pola) was conducted to assess safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary antitumor activity of pola in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods Patients received pola (1.0 or 1.8 mg/kg) intravenously every 21 days until disease progression or intolerance. Intra-patient dose escalation was prohibited. Tolerability was determined by the standard 3 + 3 rule. Blood sampling was performed to characterize pharmacokinetics. Antitumor activity was evaluated through computed tomography and bone marrow sampling. Results Four patients received pola 1.0 mg/kg; three received 1.8 mg/kg. Patients had follicular lymphoma (n = 4) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 3), median age of 62 years, received a median of 3 prior therapies; six were female. Pola was well tolerated in both cohorts, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. The most common adverse event was peripheral sensory neuropathy (n = 4). Grade 3 adverse events were cholecystitis and neutrophil count decreased (one each; both 1.0 mg/kg), and syncope and cataract (one each; both 1.8 mg/kg). The plasma half-life of antibody-conjugate monomethyl auristatin E was 4.43–7.98 days, and systemic exposure of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E was limited in both cohorts. Four patients achieved objective responses (three complete, one partial) without disease progression during the study. Conclusions This phase 1 dose-escalation study demonstrated that pola has an acceptable safety profile and offers encouraging antitumor activity to Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Pola 1.8 mg/kg, the recommended phase 2 dose, was tolerable in Japanese patients.
