8507 Background: BMS-936558 is a fully human mAb that blocks the programmed death-1 (PD-1) co-inhibitory receptor expressed by activated T cells. This study describes the activity and safety of BMS-936558 in patients (pts) with previously treated advanced MEL and underscores the importance of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway in MEL therapy. Methods: BMS-936558 was administered IV Q2WK to pts with various solid tumors at doses of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg during dose-escalation and/or cohort expansion. Pts received up to 12 cycles (4 doses/cycle) of treatment or until PD or CR. Clinical activity was assessed by RECIST 1.0. Results: Of 240 pts treated as of July 1, 2011, 95 MEL pts were treated with BMS-936558 at 0.1 (n=13), 0.3 (n=17), 1 (n=28), 3 (n=17), or 10 mg/kg (n=20). ECOG performance status was 0/1/2 in 56/36/3 pts. The majority of pts (60/95) had received prior immunotherapy (IT), primarily interferon-alpha or IL-2 (prior anti-CTLA-4 excluded). Prior B-raf inhibitor therapy was noted in 7/95 pts. The number of prior therapies was 1 (n=35), 2 (n=34), or ≥3 (n=26). Sites of metastatic disease included lymph node (n=60), liver (n=32), lung (n=55), and bone (n=10). Median duration of therapy was 15 wk (max 120 wk), with 40 pts still receiving treatment. The incidence of grade 3-4 related AEs was 19% and included gastrointestinal (4%), endocrine (2%), and hepatobiliary disorders (1%). There were no drug-related deaths in MEL pts. Clinical activity was observed at all dose levels (Table). Of 20 pts with OR at the time of data lock, 12 had OR duration ≥1 yr and 6 pts were on study with OR duration between 1.9 and 11.3 mo. OR were seen in pts with visceral or bone metastases. Several pts had prolonged SD. Some had a persistent decrease in overall tumor burden in the presence of new lesions and were not categorized as responders. Conclusions: BMS-936558 had durable clinical benefit in pts with advanced MEL, including those who had received prior IT. Further development of BMS-936558 in MEL is ongoing. [Table: see text]

7509 Background: BMS-936558 is a fully human mAb that blocks the programmed death-1 (PD-1) co-inhibitory receptor expressed by activated T cells. We report here that BMS-936558 mediates antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC, a tumor historically not considered to be responsive to immunotherapy. Methods: BMS-936558 was administered IV Q2WK to pts with various solid tumors, including NSCLC, at doses of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg during dose-escalation and/or cohort expansion. Pts with advanced NSCLC previously treated with at least 1 prior chemotherapy regimen were eligible. Pts received up to 12 cycles (4 doses/cycle) of treatment or until PD or CR. Clinical activity was assessed by RECIST 1.0. Results: Of 240 pts treated as of July 1, 2011, 75 NSCLC pts were treated at 1 (n=17), 3 (n= 19), or 10 mg/kg (n=39). ECOG performance status was 0/1/2 in 24/49/2 pts. Tumor histology was squamous (n=17), non-squamous (n=52), or unknown (n=6). The number of prior therapies was 1 (n=9), 2 (n=20), ≥3 (n=45), or unknown (n=1). Ninety-five percent of pts had received platinum-based chemotherapy and 40% had a prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Sites of metastatic disease included lymph node (n=50), liver (n=12), lung (n=62), and bone (n=13). Median duration of therapy was 10 wk (max 100 wk). Common related AEs were fatigue (17%), nausea (11%), pyrexia (7%), pruritus (7%), dizziness (7%), and anemia (7%). The incidence of grade 3-4 related AEs was 8%. There was 1 drug-related death due to pulmonary toxicity. Clinical activity was observed at all dose levels (Table) and in multiple histologies. Several pts had prolonged SD. Some had a persistent decrease in overall tumor burden in the presence of new lesions and were not categorized as responders. At the time of data lock, of 10 OR pts, 3 had responses lasting ≥6 mo and 5 were on study with response duration of 1.8-5.5 mo. Conclusions: BMS-936558 is well tolerated and has encouraging clinical activity in pts with previously treated advanced NSCLC. Further development of BMS-936558 in pts with advanced NSCLC is warranted. [Table: see text]

4505 Background: BMS-936558 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks the programmed death-1 co-inhibitory receptor (PD-1) expressed by activated T cells. In the initial portion of a phase I study, BMS-936558 showed promising activity in patients (pts) with various solid tumors, including mRCC. We expanded accrual in order to better characterize antitumor and dose effects. Methods: RCC pts were treated with BMS-936558 administered IV Q2WK at 10 mg/kg initially, followed by additional pts at 1 mg/kg. Pts received up to 12 cycles (4 doses/cycle) of treatment or until PD or CR. Clinical activity was assessed by RECIST 1.0. Results: Of 240 pts treated as of July 1 2011, 33 had mRCC and were treated at 1 (n=17) or 10 mg/kg (n=16). ECOG performance status was 0/1 in 13/19 pts. The number of prior therapies was 1 (n=10), 2 (n=9), or ≥3 (n=14), and included prior immunotherapy (n=20) or antiangiogenic therapy (n=24); 31 pts had prior nephrectomy. Sites of metastatic disease included lymph node (n=26), liver (n=7), lung (n=28), and bone (n=10). Median duration of therapy was 19 wk (max 96 wk). The incidence of grade 3-4 related AEs was 12% and included hypophosphatemia (6%), elevated ALT (3%), and cough (3%). Clinical activity was observed at both dose levels (Table). Some pts had a persistent reduction in overall tumor burden in the presence of new lesions and were not categorized as responders. Responses were noted in pts with visceral and bone metastases. Among the responders who were first treated ≥1 yr prior to data lock, 4 of 5 pts treated at 10 mg/kg had OR duration ≥1 yr, and 1 of 2 pts treated at 1 mg/kg was still on study with OR duration of 17.5 mo. Although the data for pts treated at 1mg/kg are not mature, the estimated progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 24 wk in pts receiving 10 mg/kg was 67% (Table). Conclusions: BMS-936558 is well tolerated and has durable clinical activity in pts with previously treated mRCC. Further development of BMS-936558 in pts with mRCC is ongoing. [Table: see text]

7680 Background: Treatment options for previously treated NSCLC are limited, warranting consideration of novel combinations. This study evaluated the activity and toxicity of erlotinib with bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor. Dosing was based on the approved indication for erlotinib and on phase I data for the combination. Methods: Patients (pts) with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who progressed following one prior line of chemotherapy, with no prior exposure to an EGF-receptor inhibitor and ECOG performance status 0 or 1 were randomly assigned to erlotinib 150 mg po daily alone (arm A) or in combination with bortezomib 1.6 mg/m2 iv on days 1 and 8 (arm B) of a 21-day cycle. Response was evaluated by RECIST and toxicity was graded using NCI CTCAE 3.0. A Simon optimal two-stage design was used to evaluate anti-tumor activity in response-evaluable pts. Results: Fifty pts were treated at 17 sites (January-June 2006); baseline characteristics and treatment intensity were comparable in both arms. Among 24 response-evaluable pts in each arm, there were 3 partial responses (PR) and 1 complete response in arm A and 2 PR in arm B. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.7 and 1.4 months in arms A and B, respectively. The study was halted as required at the planned interim analysis due to insufficient clinical activity in arm B. Activity and toxicity in arm A were consistent with published reports for erlotinib alone. Adverse-event profiles were as expected in both arms, with no significant additivity. In arm B, one pt died of pneumonia. The most common grade 3 treatment-related toxicity was skin rash (12% arm A and 8% arm B), and rash severity correlated with PFS: grades 2/3, 2.8 months PFS (20 pts); grades 0/1, 1.4 months PFS (28 pts), p=0.032. In arm B, one pt each had grade 3 anorexia, hypokalemia, and worsened peripheral sensory neuropathy compared with baseline. There were no grade 4 treatment related toxicities in either arm. Conclusions: The combination of erlotinib and bortezomib in the doses and schedules used in this trial was well tolerated but did not show sufficient activity at this dose and schedule to warrant further development. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

351 Background: BMS-936558 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks the PD-1 coinhibitory receptor expressed by activated T cells. In the initial portion of a phase I study (CA209-003), BMS-936558 showed promising activity in pts with various solid tumors, including mRCC. Accrual was expanded to better characterize antitumor, safety, and dose effects. Methods: Pts with RCC were treated with BMS-936558 IV q2wk at 10 mg/kg initially, followed by additional pts at 1 mg/kg. Pts received up to 12 cycles (4 doses/cycle) of treatment or until unacceptable toxicity, confirmed progressive disease, or complete response (CR). Clinical activity was assessed by RECIST v1.0. Results: As of July 3, 2012, 34 mRCC pts had been treated at 1 mg/kg (n=18) or 10 mg/kg (n=16). ECOG performance status was 0 in 13 pts and 1 in 21 pts. More than 40% of study patients received ≥3 prior therapies, >70% received prior antiangiogenic therapy, and >50% received prior immunotherapy. Sites of metastatic disease included lung (n=30), lymph node (n=28), bone (n=10), and liver (n=9). The incidence of grade 3-4 related adverse events was 21% and included hypophosphatemia (6%) and respiratory disorders (6%); there were no drug-related deaths among mRCC pts. Ongoing durable clinical responses were observed at both 1 and 10 mg/kg doses (Table) with some continuing off treatment. Three pts demonstrated nonconventional response patterns and were not categorized as responders by conventional RECIST. Current median duration of response was 12.9 months for both 1 and 10 mg/kg doses. Conclusions: BMS-936558 is tolerable and exhibits ongoing durable clinical activity in pts with previously treated mRCC. Clinical trial information: NCT00730639. [Table: see text]

2510 Background: Blocking the interaction between programmed death-1 (PD-1), a co-inhibitory receptor expressed by activated T cells, and its ligand PD-L1 may enhance T-cell function. Here we describe the safety and activity from the first clinical study of BMS-936559 in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors, further validating the importance of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway as a target for cancer therapy. Methods: BMS-936559 was given Q2 wk IV in a 6-wk cycle at doses of 0.3−10.0 mg/kg during dose escalation and/or cohort expansion; pts could receive up to 16 cycles (48 doses). Results: As of August 1, 2011, 162 pts with melanoma (MEL, n=53), non-small-cell lung (NSCLC, n=50), colorectal (n=18), renal cell (RCC, n=17), ovarian (n=17), and pancreatic (n=7) cancer were treated. Median therapy duration was 11 wks (max 99 wks). Common related adverse events (rAEs; ≥5% pts) included fatigue, diarrhea, infusion reaction, arthralgia, rash, and pruritus. The incidence of grade 3-4 rAEs was 8.6%. AEs of special interest included hypothyroidism, hepatitis, sarcoidosis, endophthalmitis, and myasthenia gravis; there were no drug-related deaths. Clinical activity was observed in MEL, RCC, and NSCLC. Objective responses (ORs; RECIST 1.0) were observed in heavily pretreated pts. ORs were durable; among 16 pts with ORs, 7 had responses lasting ≥1 yr. Two other pts had ongoing ORs with durations of 2.3 and 8.5 mo at data lock. Several pts had prolonged stable disease. Some pts had a persistent reduction in overall tumor burden in the presence of new lesions but were not categorized as responders. In NSCLC, ORs were observed irrespective of histology. Conclusions: BMS-936559 was active and generally well tolerated in pts with NSCLC, RCC, and MEL. In conjunction with data from anti-PD-1/BMS-936558 trials, this study concurrently validates the importance of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway for cancer immunotherapy and supports further clinical development of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 directed therapy.

12024 Background: Carboplatin (CBDCA) and gemcitabine (GEM) in combination is used commonly in lung cancer and is administered on a 21 day cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CBDCA and GEM administered on a biweekly schedule and to assess safety and efficacy of this schedule. Methods: GEM was given intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes followed by CBDCA also given IV over 30 minutes. This combination was given on day 1 every 2 weeks. The dose levels examined are shown in the Table . A total of 26 patients were studied (18 male, 8 female) with median age of 56 (range 41–83 years); ECOG performance status of 24 patients were 0 (5), 1 (16), 2 (2), 3 (1); prior chemotherapy ranged from 0 to 4 regimens; median number of cycles administered per patient was 3 (range 1–9) with a total of 81 cycles. The primary tumors were lung (11), melanoma (4), head and neck (3), squamous cell penile/toe (2), bladder (2), kidney (1), gastric (1), esophageal (1) and ovary (1). Results: No DLTs were seen in any of these patients and the MTD was not reached. Delay in treatment was seen in total of 6 cycles due to myelosuppression and 1 cycle due to nausea and anorexia. Grade 3/4 hematological toxicity rates: anemia - 3/81 cycles (3.7%), neutropenia - 20/81 cycles (25%), and thrombocytopenia - 4/81 cycles (5%). Non-hematological toxicity was mild. The median time to progression was 40 days (range 4–133) and of 18 evaluable patients partial response or stable disease was seen in 7 (38.8%). Conclusions: Even at maximum tested dose of GEM at 2000 mg/m2 and CBDCA at AUC of 3.0, this schedule is well tolerated. Hematological toxicity such as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was minimal. We plan to study this schedule of GEM and CBDCA in appropriate tumor types in combination with biologic agents. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

e13506 Background: SJG-136 is a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer that forms covalent DNA crosslinks in a sequence-specific manner in the minor groove. In vitro testing demonstrated a broad pattern of antitumor activity in sub-nmol concentrations. A phase I study in patients (pts) with solid tumors revealed clinical activity, defined MTD as 30 mg/m2/d administered on daily x 3 schedule, and confirmed manageable toxicity. Here we report the results of a CTEP-sponsored phase I trial of SJG-136 administered on a daily x 5 schedule in pts with relapsed or refractory (R/R) leukemias. Methods: Previously treated pts with R/R acute leukemias (AML, ALL, high risk MDS, CML blast phase) or R/R CLL with adequate organ function and ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 were eligible for the study. The starting dose level was 6 mcg/m2 given intravenously daily x 5 days on a 21 day cycle. Pts were sequentially enrolled in cohorts of 3 and the dose was escalated in a classic 3+3 schema at the dose levels: 6, 12, 24, and 36 mcg/m2. Repeat courses and intrapatient dose escalation were allowed. Results: Sixteen pts (11M, 5 F) were enrolled on the study. The median age of the patients was 53 (21–84). Thirteen (81%) pts had R/R AML, and 3 (19%) had R/R ALL of which 5 (31%) had diploid and 6 (38%) had adverse cytogenetics. Median number of prior therapies was 3 (2–6). Pts enrolled at each dose level (mcg/m2) were: 6 (3 pts), 12 (5 pts), 24 (4 pts), 36 (4 pts). The median number of cycles delivered was 1 (0–5). The dose of 36 mcg/m2 was found to be above the MTD, with the DLT being grade 3 soft tissue edema. Other manifestations of vascular leak including grade I, II hypoalbuminemia, edema, and pleural effusions were seen in a number of patients starting at dose level 24 mcg/m2 and above. Other non-dose limiting toxicities included nausea, dyspnea, fatigue, bloating, and insomnia. One pt had a PR, 8 pts had stable disease, and 6 had progression. Pharmacokinetic characteristics in this population will be reported. Conclusions: SJG-136 is safe and active in patients with advanced leukemias. Edema and other vascular leak syndromes are characteristic toxicities of the agent at higher dose levels. 24 mcg/m2 is the recommended phase II dose for the daily x 5 schedule. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

164 Background: Angiogenesis and suboptimal antitumor immune response are important in the progression of CRPC. Both LEN and metronomic CTX have known anti-angiogenic and immunomodulatory activities. A phase I study of a novel combination of metronomic CTX with LEN in patients with CRPC who have failed prior docetaxel therapy was initiated to assess safety and effects on potential biomarkers. Methods: CTX was given 50 mg PO QD(day 1-28) and LEN 10-25 mg PO QD(day 1-21) on a 28 day cycle. Dose limiting toxicity was defined as any treatment-related grade 4 hematologic event or grade 3 / 4 non-hematologic event during cycles one. Quantification of circulating tumor cells (CTC), plasma cytokines, analgesic consumption and quality of life assessments were performed. Measurement of Treg and MDSCs were performed in some patients. Results: 17 patients with CRPC have been enrolled in L0-4; all patients are evaluable for toxicity. Patient characteristics include: ECOG performance status 0/1= 4/13; median age=77 (range 50–86); median PSA=36.7 (range 1.36–2287). Dose level 1 (CTX 50 mg/d, LEN 10 mg/d) was expanded to 6 patients after one out of three initial patients was removed from the study for Gr 3 gastrointestinal bleeding (in cycle 1). Dose level 1 (CTX 25 mg/d, LEN 10 mg/d) had no DLT’s. The maximum tolerated dose has not yet been reached. Other Grade 3/4 toxicities observed after cycle 1 included grade 3 pain (N=1), grade 3 neutropenia (N=4), grade 3 thrombocytopenia (N=2), grade 4 neutropenia (N=2). Most frequent grade 1 and 2 toxicities included anemia, fatigue, neutropenia, and hypocalcemia. Overall, 9 of 14 patients (64%) have experienced a reduction in PSA. One patient had partial response after one cycle. Stable disease was documented in 5 of 14 (36%) evaluable patients. Two inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 (N = 19; r = 0.64; p = 0.0035) and IL-8 (N = 9; r = 0.86; p = 0.0028), were found to significantly correlated with PSA. Conclusions: The combination of metronomic CTX and LEN can be safely administered. Preliminary clinical activity was observed in this heavily-pretreated patient population. Enrollment to this study continues and clinical and biomarker studies are ongoing.

9504 Background: T-DXd is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of an anti-HER2 antibody, cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. In a phase I trial, patients (pts) with HER2-mutated NSCLC who received T-DXd had a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 72.7% (8/11) (Tsurutani et al, WCLC 2018). DESTINY-Lung01 (NCT03505710) is an ongoing, multicenter, phase II study of T-DXd in pts with non-squamous NSCLC overexpressing HER2 or containing a HER2-activating mutation. We report data for the cohort with HER2 mutations after a median follow-up of 8.0 mo (range, 1.4-14.2 mo). Methods: Pts were treated with T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was confirmed ORR (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) by ICR. Additional endpoints were disease control rate (DCR; CR + PR + stable disease), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Results: At data cutoff (25 Nov 2019), 42 pts (64.3% female) had received T-DXd. Median age was 63.0 years (range, 34-83 years; < 65 y, 59.5%); 45.2% had central nervous system metastases; ECOG performance status was 0 in 23.8% of pts and 1 in 76.2%. HER2 mutations were predominantly in the kinase domain (90.5%). Most pts (90.5%) had prior platinum-based chemotherapy and 54.8% had anti–PD-1 or –PD-L1 treatment; median number of prior treatment lines was 2 (range, 1-6). Median treatment duration was 7.75 mo (range, 0.7-14.3 mo); 45.2% of pts remained on treatment. Confirmed ORR by ICR among the 42 pts was 61.9% (95% CI, 45.6%-76.4%); median DOR was not reached at data cutoff; 16 of 26 responders remained on treatment at data cutoff; DCR was 90.5% (95% CI, 77.4%-97.3%); estimated median PFS was 14.0 mo (95% CI, 6.4-14.0 mo). All pts (42/42) had treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); 64.3% were grade ≥ 3 (52.4% drug-related), including decreased neutrophil count (26.2%) and anemia (16.7%). There were 5 cases (11.9%) of drug-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) as adjudicated by an independent committee (all grade 2, no grade ≥ 3) and 1 case of grade 1 ILD is pending adjudication. TEAEs led to dose interruption in 25 pts (59.5%), dose reduction in 16 pts (38.1%), and treatment discontinuation in 10 pts (23.8%). Conclusions: T-DXd demonstrated promising clinical activity with high ORR and durable responses in pts with HER2-mutated NSCLC. The safety profile was generally consistent with previously reported studies. Clinical trial information: NCT03505710 .
