1052 Background: TIG, an agonistic anti-DR5 monoclonal antibody, triggers apoptosis in DR5+ human tumor cells without the aid of crosslinking. TIG has shown strong in vitro and in vivo activity against basal-like breast cancer cells that is enhanced by chemotherapy like paclitaxel. Methods: Randomized 2:1 phase II trial of nab-PAC with/without TIG in TNBC patients. Patients stratified by prior exposure to chemotherapy in the metastatic setting. Patients received nab-PAC weekly x 3 and TIG every other week, every 28 days. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary objectives were safety, progression free survival (PFS), TIG immunogenicity, and PK. Biopsies and circulating tumor cells were collected. The trial was not powered to compare arms but allowed early stopping for futility and was sized to estimate ORR with 95% CI. Results: 64 patients enrolled, 60 treated; 39 in the combination arm and 21 in the nab-PAC arm. Of the 39 in the combination arm, there were 2 CR, 9 PR (1 near CR, 96% tumor reduction), 11 SD and 17 PD; ORR 28% (95% CI 14%-42%). Of the 21 in the single agent arm, there were no CR, 8 PR, 4 SD and 9 PD; ORR 38% (95% CI 17%-59%). Higher ORRs were seen in the chemotherapy naïve patients (58% vs. 15% combination and 42% vs. 35% single agent). 2 patients with CR, 1 near CR, and 1 PR in the combination arm are still on therapy (602+, 531+, 466+, 460+ days). PFS was similar in both groups (3.6 months); higher in chemotherapy naïve patients. Combination was well tolerated (most toxicities grade 1/2); the most common AEs were fatigue, alopecia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, anemia, neutropenia, nausea, thrombocytopenia, anorexia, diarrhea, and vomiting. No grade 4 or 5 toxicity. No apparent added toxicity with TIG was seen. Conclusions: Combination therapy with nab-PAC + TIG was well tolerated, without apparent improvement in ORR relative to nab-PAC alone; however, 4 subjects treated as first-line had prolonged clinical benefit with the combination, and correlative studies will investigate markers that might predict clinical outcome (Next-Gen genomic analysis). Clinical trial information: F101004001.

Metastatic Setting

TPS652 Background: Hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (BC) is currently associated with 3-4 years overall survival in the metastatic setting and, after ≥2 relapses, therapeutic approaches are reduced. XPG expression is frequently modified in BC. T is a cytotoxic agent that forms a complex with the XPG, inducing cell apoptosis. As a single agent, T has shown anti-tumor activity in patients with poor prognosis BC, and a better response to T in BC patients with XPG RNA overexpression has been observed. Methods: This is an open-label, phase II study of T (1.3 mg/m2 in 3-hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks) in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced BC, according to their primary tumor’s XPG expression. Primary endpoint: to evaluate the efficacy of T in terms of progression free survival rate at 4 months (PFS4) according to the patient’s XPG expression. Secondary endpoints: Comparison of PFS, overall response rate, duration of response, overall survival and safety profile in XPG-high and XPG-low patients. Assignment: BC patients who have previously received anthracyclins and/or taxanes and who progressed after 2-5 chemotherapy lines will be assigned according to their XPG expression from paraffin embedded tumor samples to stratum A (XPG-high [>3]) or to stratum B (XPG-low [≤3]) (threshold was selected from median XPG expression values observed in a previous trial). Statistical methods: A two-stage design was chosen: at a first stage 20 patients will be enrolled in each stratum. A futility analysis (O’Brien Fleming boundary) based on the primary endpoint (PFS4) will be conducted once 40 evaluable patients have been recruited. If ≥ 7 out of 20 patients achieve PFS4, recruitment will continue to a maximum sample size of 50 evaluable patients per stratum. If ≥ 22 out of 50 patients achieve PFS4, T will be considered active in this group (alpha error: 0.025, power: 80%). To date, 35 patients (16 XPG-high and 15 XPG-low) have been enrolled from three countries and five centers. Recruitment is ongoing.

Abstract Abstract 427 Rituximab is effective as single agent therapy in the treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL), and when combined with chemotherapy has extended remissions and survival. Epratuzumab (Immunomedics), a humanized anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody, also has single agent activity in FL, and in combination with rituximab led to durable complete responses in the treatment of patients (pts) with relapsed and refractory indolent NHL. To evaluate the hypothesis that combining a second biological agent with rituximab might improve efficacy with good tolerability, the CALGB treated 60 previously untreated pts with epratuzumab and rituximab in a multicenter phase II trial and we report here the preliminary response and toxicity findings. Rituximab was administered at 375 mg/m2 iv weekly for four weeks, then every 8 weeks for four additional doses for a total of 8 doses over 9 months. Epratuzumab, was given at 360 mg/m2 two days before the first rituximab dose to assess toxicity. From week 2 on, epratuzumab was given before the rituximab on the same day for a total of 8 doses over 9 months. Fifty-seven evaluable pts were enrolled between May 2008 and September 2009. FLIPI scores at study entry were 13 (22%) low; 28 (47.5%) intermediate; and 18 (30.5%) high. Fifty-three pts completed all therapy through month 9. One pt was taken off therapy due to progression after month 5. One pt died during induction from line sepsis. Two pts were taken off study due to adverse events, 1 during induction (grade 4 thrombosis and MI), 1 following month 5 (dyspnea, hypoxia and pulmonary NOS). All other toxicities were grade 3 or lower, including fatigue (grade 3 3%, grade 2 17%), nodal pain (grade 3 5%, grade 2 8%), and cytokine release and pruritis (grade 2, 5% each). To date, there have been 19 CRs (33.3%), 29 PRs (50.9%)(ORR 84.2%); 9 (15.8%) had stable disease. All 19 CR patients completed all treatment. The mean time to CR was 9 months. Two patients progressed after a period of stable disease, and 25 of the 29 patients who achieved PR remain in response. All 19 CRs also remain in remission at this point with a median follow-up of 0.82 years (range 0.52 to 2.0). FLIPI score was not predictive of response. The CR rate in low risk pts was 31%, 44% in intermediate risk and 18% in high risk pts. There was a trend toward higher CR rate among patients with FcgR2A His (n=10, CR 60%) and to a lower CR rate among those with FcgR2A Arg (n=14, CR 14.3%). Correlations with PET scan at week 3, with tissue biomarkers and to statin use are being analyzed. Rituximab and epratuzumab is an effective and very well tolerated regimen with an ORR of 84% in previously untreated patients with follicular lymphoma.
