Recurrent Gbm

2093 Background: Recurrent glial tumors of the brain continue to be one of the most challenging malignancies to treat, and median survival for patients with recurrent disease is approximately 6 months for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The front-line therapy for GBM - temozolomide (TMZ) - is subject to resistance by DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), leading to poor prognoses for patients with recurrent GBM. Dianhydrogalactitol (VAL-083)is a first-in-class bi-functional N7 DNA alkylating agent shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, accumulate in brain tissue, and have activity against GBM. Studies suggest that VAL-083 overcomes MGMT-driven drug resistance in vitro and targets cancer stem cells. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of VAL-083 in patients with recurrent GBM or progressive secondary brain tumor, and explore the safety, pharmacokinetics and tumor responses to treatment. Methods: Open-label phase I/II dose-escalation study of VAL-083 in patients with histologically confirmed primary WHO grade 4 malignant GBM, now recurrent, previously treated for GBM with surgery and/or radiation, if appropriate, and have failed both bevacizumab and temozolomide; or progressive secondary brain tumor, has failed standard brain radiotherapy, and has brain tumor progression after at least one line of systemic therapy. The study uses a 3 + 3 dose escalation design, until reaching the MTD or maximum specified dose. Patients receive IV VAL-083 on days 1, 2, and 3 of each 21-day treatment cycle. In phase II, additional patients are treated at the MTD (or selected optimum dose) to measure tumor responses. Results: Cohort 1 (3 patients) and cohort 2 (4 patients) were completed without any DLT’s. Adverse events (AEs) have all been grade 1/2, with only 1 grade 3 AE, unrelated to treatment. Cohort 3 currently has 4 patient enrolled, without reaching the MTD. 1/7 (14.3%) patients in cohorts 1and 2 has prolonged stable disease (15+ cycles) on VAL-083 treatment. Conclusions: VAL-083 up to the 2nd dose level was well tolerated without any safety signals. Dose escalation is continuing. Clinical trial information: NCT01478178.

Recurrent Gbm

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain cancer. Resistance to front-line systemic therapy with temozolomide (TMZ) is correlated with O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) expression. Second-line treatment with bevacizumab has not improved overall survival. Dianhydrogalactitol (VAL-083) is a bi-functional alkylating agent that has MGMT-independent cell-kill activity against GBM cell-lines and cancer stem cells in vitro. VAL-083 crosses the blood-brain barrier and showed promise against CNS tumors in prior NCI-sponsored clinical trials. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine appropriate VAL-083 dosing for advancement to Phase III trials as a new treatment for recurrent GBM. METHODS: Patients must have recurrent GBM following surgery, radiation, TMZ and bevacizumab. Phase I: Open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation study. Patients received VAL-083 on days 1,2,3 of a 21-day cycle, until reaching MTD. Phase II: Additional patients enrolled at MTD to further assess safety and outcomes. RESULTS: Phase I: 29 patients were enrolled across 9 dose cohorts (1.5-50 mg/m2/d). 40mg/m2/d was confirmed as MTD. Myelosuppression was mild; no drug-related serious adverse events were reported at doses up to 40mg/m2/d. Dose limiting G4 thrombocytopenia was observed at higher doses. Platelet nadir occurred around day 20 and resolved rapidly and spontaneously. A dose-related survival improvement was observed. Pharmacokinetic analyses show 1-2h plasma terminal half-life; average Cmax 781ng/mL at 40mg/m2/d. Phase II: 14 patients were enrolled at 40mg/m2/d. To date, safety observations in Phase II are consistent with Phase I. CONCLUSIONS: VAL-083 at 40mg/m2/d exhibits a favorable safety profile and dose-related trend toward clinically meaningful improved survival in refractory GBM patient

Dose Escalation Study

Abstract This ongoing multicenter study is a Phase I trial with MEDI-507 (Siplizumab) [a humanized IgG1k class monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD2 receptor on human T- and NK-cells] to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the optimum biologic dose (OBD) in patients with relapsed/refractory CD2-positive T-cell lymphoma/leukemia [CD2-positive adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), and large granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGL).] Open label 3+3 dose escalation was conducted in which patients receive bi-weekly infusions of MEDI-507 over 3 consecutive days at total doses of 0.7 mg/kg, 3.4 mg/kg or 4.8 mg/kg. Predose and serial MEDI-507 pharmacokinetics (ELISA) at Visit 2 and anti MEDI-507 antibodies (ELISA), peripheral blood total T-Cell and CD2-positive T-cells (flow cytometry), and C3 and C4 complement are obtained for each patient. Patients are followed for one year after their last dose of MEDI-507 for tumor assessment and CD2-positive T-cell recovery. 16 patients have been enrolled: 3 (0.7 mg/kg); 9 (3.4); 4 (4.8). Three additional patients were added to the 3.4 mg/kg cohort to replace patients who progressed early and one patient with tumor lysis syndrome. Diagnoses of the 16 patients: PTCL (9), CTCL (6) and NK-LGL (1). Frequent adverse events reported, to date, are infusion reaction (7/16) patients; hypertension (4/16); lymphopenia (4/16); fatigue (4/16) and leukopenia (3/16). Two DLT’s have been observed. The first, erythematous confluent dermatitis, occurred in one patient at 3.4 mg/kg and the cohort was expanded with eventual dose escalation. The second, pulmonary edema, occurred in one patient at 4.8 mg/kg and the cohort is currently being expanded without further DLT identified to date. Two responses have been observed, one PR in an NK-LGL patient at 3.4 mg/kg and one CR in a PTCL patient at 3.4 mg/kg. MEDI-507 has been well tolerated and shown anti-tumor activity. Dosing will change to weekly dosing with dose escalation (3+3) starting at 1.2 mg/kg as 0.8 mg/kg was seen to be safe in the single center study. MTD and/or OBD have not been determined.

Dose Escalation Study

Abstract A recent prospective randomized trial comparing standard-dose to high-dose melphalan in patients presenting with newly diagnosed AL-amyloidosis showed that oral melphalan-dexamethasone (M-dex) given monthly could be considered the current standard of care, with a median survival of 56 months (Jaccard, N Engl J Med 2007). The use of a combination of lenalidomide and dexamethasone has also been tested in patients with symptomatic AL-amyloidosis. The initial dose of lenalidomide at 25 mg/day was poorly tolerated. However, a 15 mg/day dose regimen was well tolerated and effective, with both hematologic and organ responses (Dispenzieri, Blood 2007 & Sanchorawala, Blood 2007). Combining M-dex with lenalidomide (M-dex-rev) could increase the response rate but the toxicity of this regimen is still unknown. Thus we have initiated a multicenter single-arm open-label phase I/II dose escalation study of lenalidomide administered in combination with M-dex. The primary endpoint was the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) during the first cycle of lenalidomide at a given dose level in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In addition to melphalan 0.18mg/kg/day from day 1–4 of each 28 day cycle and dexamethasone 40mg/day from day 1– 4 of each 28 day cycle, 3 cohorts of 3 subjects were successively exposed to escalating doses of lenalidomide (5, 10 and 15mg once daily on days 1–21 of a 28 day cycle). DLT was defined using National Cancer Institute (NCI) common toxicity criteria during the first 4 weeks of treatment (one cycle) as the following: at least grade 2 cardiac arrhythmia, at least grade 3 non hematologic toxicity, grade 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days or any other Grade 4 hematologic toxicity, or treatment delay due to toxicity that occurred during the first cycle. No DLT was observed among the first 3 patients treated at 5, 10 and 15 mg lenalidomide/day. 9 additional subjects will be enrolled at 15 mg/day to better define the safety profile and estimate the hematologic and organ response rate. Final results regarding both toxicity and efficacy will be presented during the meeting.

331 Background: Programmed death-1 (PD-1), a T-cell inhibitory receptor, may suppress antitumor immunity. BMS-936558, a fully human PD-1 blocking antibody, has shown antitumor activity and manageable toxicity after biweekly dosing (Sznol, ASCO 2010, #2506). This report provides an update on safety and antitumor activity with special emphasis on RCC. Methods: An open-label phase I dose escalation study of BMS-936558 was conducted in patients (pts) with treatment refractory metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), melanoma (MEL), non-small cell lung cancer, or colorectal cancer (CRC). Dose escalation continued to 10 mg/kg when an expansion cohort for pts (16) with each tumor type was opened for additional safety and efficacy information. Tumor response (RECIST) was evaluated every 8 weeks. Clinically stable pts with early PD could continue until further PD or clinical deterioration. Results: 126 pts (18 RCC) were treated with 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg. MTD was not reached. Across all doses, the most common AEs (Any/grade 3-4) were fatigue (45.2%/6.3%) and diarrhea (30.2%/0.8%) while the most common drug-related AEs (Any/grade 3-4) were fatigue (20.6%/0.8%), rash (11.9%/0%), pruritus (11.3%/0%), and diarrhea (10.3%/0.8%). There was no apparent relationship between dose and frequency of AEs. One pt died with sepsis while being treated for drug-related grade 4 pneumonitis. The median number of prior treatment regimens in the RCC cohort was 2 (range 1-6). Of the 18 RCC pts, 16 were treated with 10 mg/kg. The median duration of treatment was 7.6+mo. ORR was 5/16 (31.2%) and SD>4mo was 6/16 (37.5%). The median duration of response was 4.0+ mo (3.7-7.4+ mo). Of the 2 RCC pts treated with 1 mg/kg, 1 obtained a CR (12+ mo) and 1 had SD (21+ mo). For evaluable CRPC pts, 1/15 pts (6.7%) obtained a PR (2+ mo) and 3/15 (20%) had SD>4mo. Conclusions: BMS-936558 administered biweekly is tolerable and has encouraging antitumor activity in a previously treated patients with RCC. Data on baseline characteristics, long-term toxicity and response duration will be updated at the meeting. [Table: see text]

6577 Background: TG02 is a novel multikinase inhibitor with a unique spectrum of activity, targeting both the cell cycle regulatory cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 1 and 2 and the transcriptional regulators CDKs 7 and 9. TG02 also inhibits the emerging oncogenic MAPK ERK5 and the DNA damage response mediator CDK5. TG02 kills primary blasts from a variety of hematologic cancers and is curative in the MV4-11 model of FLT3-mutant AML. Methods: This is a first-in-man,single arm, open label, phase I dose escalation trial. The primary endpoints are dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximally tolerated dose (MTD ) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Patients (pts) ≥ 18 years with advanced hematological malignancies or newly diagnosed AML pts ≥ 65 years unfit for intensive therapy were enrolled onto daily (A) and intermittent (B, 5 days on 2 days off X 2 weeks) schedules. Pts had acceptable organ function and ECOG PS 1-2. Definition of DLT was G3-4 AST or ALT ≥7 days, G4 AST or ALT, G4 hyperbilirubinemia, any other NCI CTC G3-4 events not due to underlying disease. Dose levels on arm A were 10mg to 70mg and 15mg-150 mg on arm B. Results: Forty-five pts have received at least one dose of study drug. Median age was 66 years (range, 37-87) and 80% were ECOG 0-1. Disease types enrolled included: AML (80%), high-risk MDS (22%), and CML-BC (3%). The median number of previous regimens was 3 (range, 1-12). The MTD on arm A was defined at 50 mg daily based on 2 DLTs at the 70mg dose level (G4 hyperbilirubinemia, G4 fatigue). Enrollment to arm B has competed dose levels 15 (N=3), 30 (N=3), 50 (N=3), 70 (N=3), 100mg (N=3), and enrollment at 150mg is ongoing without DLT to date. Common drug related adverse events were nausea (42%), vomiting (23%), fatigue (18%), decreased appetite (15%), constipation and diarrhea (13% each). Preliminary PK demonstrated dose proportional increases in exposure and a T1/2 , supporting once daily dosing. Conclusions: The MTD for TG02 has been determined for the daily schedule at 50mg. Enrollment continues on the intermittent schedule. Schedules of every other day and week on/week off dosing will also be evaluated.

9028 Background: LGX818, a potent and selective BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) being investigated in BRAF V600 mutant melanoma, has unique biochemical properties with a dissociation half-time > 10 times longer than other BRAF inhibitors. Methods: A phase I trial of LGX818 administered orally once (qd) or twice (bid) daily in BRAF V600 tumors was initiated to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and to assess pharmacokinetics and clinical activity in BRAFi–naive or pretreated patients with BRAF V600 mutant advanced melanoma. Baseline assessment of biomarkers from MAPK/PI3K pathways and pharmacodynamics were also evaluated. Results: Fifty-four patients have been enrolled in the dose-escalation phase (dose levels [DLs], 50-700 mg qd [n=42] and 75-150 mg bid [n=12]). LGX818 plasma concentrations increased proportionally by dose with a mean t1/2 of 4 hours and steady state in ≈ 15 days. The MTD/RP2D (450 mg qd) was well tolerated. Seven patients had a dose limiting toxicity (DLT): 5 at qd (1 each with hand-foot skin reaction [HFSR], foot pain, fatigue, diarrhea/rash, insomnia/asthenia) and 2 at bid (1 facial paresis/confusion, 1 musculoskeletal pain/neuralgia). All DLTs were grade 3 and reversible. The most common adverse events (≥ 20%) suspected to be treatment related were cutaneous (rash, dry skin, HFSR, pruritus, keratosis pilaris, alopecia), pain in extremity, arthralgia, and fatigue. Squamous cell carcinoma was observed in 2 patients (1 naive and 1 pretreated). As of 30 Sept 2012, the preliminary efficacy (all DLs) in patients with at least 1 postbaseline tumor assessment was 16 partial responses [PRs] (67%; 12 confirmed) out of 24 BRAFi–naive patients and 2 PRs (8.3%; 1 confirmed) among 24 BRAFi–pretreated patients. Responses were seen at all DLs from 50 to 550 mg qd. Updated safety and efficacy including time to event endpoints will be reported. Conclusions: Initial results from this study identified the MTD/RP2D as 450 mg/day and provided an early sign of promising activity in advanced melanoma. Expansion cohorts are ongoing in BRAFi–naive and BRAFi–pretreated melanoma and colorectal cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT01436656.
