2544 Background: C-Met protein is a receptor tyrosine kinase which is overexpressed or mutated in a variety of tumor types, causing cell proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Tivantinib is an orally bioavailable small molecule which binds to the c-Met protein. This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tivantinib in combination with standard dose FOLFOX for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Patients with advanced solid tumors for which FOLFOX (5-FU IV 400 mg/m2 day 1; 5-FU CIV 2400 mg/m2 day 1; Leucovorin IV 400 mg/m2 day 1; Oxaliplatin IV 85 mg/m2 day 1) would be appropriate chemotherapy received escalating doses of tivantinib BID (days 1-14) in a standard 3 + 3 design. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), non-dose-limiting toxicities (NDLTs), safety, and preliminary efficacy were evaluated. Results: Fourteen patients (50% colorectal) were treated across 3 dose levels: 120 mg (n=3); 240 mg (n=5); 360 mg (n=6). No DLTs were observed until the 3rd dose level (treatment delay ≥3 days, secondary to grade 3 neutropenia). Common related adverse events (% grade 1/2; % grade 3/4) included: diarrhea (36%; 0%), neutropenia (0%; 29%), nausea (14%; 14%), vomiting (14%; 14%), dehydration (14%; 7%), and thrombocytopenia (14%; 0%). To date, 7 patients have been evaluated for response including 4 (57%) with stable disease evident at the 8-week evaluation (CRC, 2 patients; unknown primary favoring CRC, 1 patient; esophageal, 1 patient) and 3 (21%) with disease progression. The 4 patients with stable disease are continuing on treatment; three (CRC and unknown primary) had received prior FOLFOX. Conclusions: The addition of tivantinib to standard therapy FOLFOX appears tolerated up to its recommended phase II monotherapy dose of 360 mg. Preliminary efficacy is encouraging, and a phase II study is proceeding with this regimen for the first line treatment of advanced gastroesophageal patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01611857.

475 Background: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone involved in the maintenance and function of client proteins, many of which are integral to key oncogenic processes. AUY922 is a competitive inhibitor of HSP90, with demonstrated activity in a variety of preclinical models. Further preclinical evidence suggests potential synergy between inhibition of HSP90 and fluorouracil treatment (Burkitt et al. 2007). This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AUY922 in combination with standard dose of capecitabine as treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Patients with refractory solid tumors for which capecitabine was an appropriate therapy received AUY922 with capecitabine in a standard 3+3 dose escalation. Capecitabine 1000mg/m2 was administered twice daily for days 1-14 of 21-day cycles, with escalating doses of AUY922 administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on days 1, 8, and 15; the 6th dose level combined the MTD of AUY922 with capecitabine 1250mg/m2. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), safety, and efficacy were evaluated. Results: 23 patients were treated at 6 dose levels: 22mg/m2 (n = 3); 28mg/m2 (n = 3); 40mg/m2 (n = 3); 55mg/m2 (n = 5); 70mg/m2 (n = 3); 70mg/m2 with capecitabine 1250mg/m2 (n = 6). There were no DLTs observed until the 6th dose level (grade 3 diarrhea). Common adverse events (all grades) included: diarrhea (61%), nausea (57%), fatigue (43%), hand-foot skin reaction (39%), anorexia (39%), vomiting (35%), rash (30%), and darkening vision (22%). Myelosuppression was uncommon, with no instances of grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia, and only 2 patients (9%) with grade 3/4 neutropenia (1 patient each). Of the 19 patients evaluable for response per RECIST 1.1, unconfirmed partial response (PR) was noted in 3 patients (13%; colorectal, 1; breast, 1; stomach, 1), with 1 additional confirmed PR (4%; colorectal); two of these had progressed on prior fluorouracil. Stable disease was noted in 8 patients (35%). Conclusions: The addition of AUY922 to standard dose capecitabine was well-tolerated at doses of up to 70mg/m2. Preliminary efficacy is encouraging, and warrants further investigation of this regimen. Clinical trial information: NCT01226732.

3564 Background: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone involved in the maintenance and function of client proteins, many of which are integral to key oncogenic processes. AUY922 is a competitive inhibitor of HSP90. Preclinical evidence suggests potential synergy between HSP90 inhibition and fluorouracil. This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AUY922 in combination with standard dose of capecitabine as treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Pts with refractory solid tumors received AUY922 with capecitabine in a standard 3+3 dose escalation. Dose levels were capecitabine 1000mg/m2 PO BID d 1-14 of 21-day cycles, with escalating doses of AUY922 IV days 1, 8, and 15; the 6th dose level combined the MTD of AUY922 with capecitabine 1250mg/m2. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), safety, and efficacy were evaluated. Results: 23 pts were treated at 6 dose levels: 22mg/m2 (n = 3); 28mg/m2 (n = 3); 40mg/m2 (n = 3); 55mg/m2 (n = 5); 70mg/m2 (n = 3); 70mg/m2 with capecitabine 1250mg/m2 (n= 6). No DLTs were observed until the 6th dose level (grade 3 diarrhea). Related adverse events (% grade 1/2; % grade 3/4) included: diarrhea (43%; 17%), fatigue (30%; 13%), nausea (39%; 0), hand-foot skin reaction (30%; 5%), anorexia (30%; 4%), vomiting (30%; 0), and darkening vision (26%; 0). Vision darkening, a class effect of HSP90 inhibitors, was reversible with drug hold and retreatment was possible. Two pts (9%) had hematologic G 3/4 events of neutropenia. Of the 19 pts evaluable for response, partial response was noted in 4 patients (colorectal, 2; breast, 1; stomach, 1); 2 had progressed on prior fluorouracil, and remained on treatment for 13-35 wks. Stable disease was noted in 8 pts (35% [colorectal, 5; pancreas, 2; breast, 1]) with a median duration of 25.5 wks (range: 11-44+). All 5 colorectal pts were refractory to 5-FU. Conclusions: The addition of AUY922 to standard dose capecitabine was well-tolerated at doses of up to 70mg/m2. Preliminary efficacy is encouraging, particularly as seen in pts previously resistant to fluorouracil, and warrants further investigation of this regimen. Clinical trial information: NCT01226732.

3015 Background: BPM 31510 is a novel small molecule that targets the metabolic machinery of the cancer microenvironment to reverse the aerobic glycolytic phenotype of cancer cells. Effector downstream signaling results in re-capitulation of BCL-2 mediated apoptosis and disruption in tumor vasculature by modulation of VEGF. (NR Narain et al., Proceedings of AACR Meeting Abstracts 2011). Methods: A standard 3+3 phase I, dose-escalation study design was used in patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard treatment. Primary objectives were establishment of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety/pharmacokinetic (PK) correlates. Secondary objectives included exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary efficacy (RECIST-1.1) of BPM 31510 in sequential cohorts of 3 to 6 pts. Results: At time of submission, 34 patients with advanced cancer who had failed multiple chemotherapeutic regimens had been enrolled in 7 dose cohorts (ranging from 5.6 mg/kg to 78.2 mg/kg). Patients received a median of 2 cycles (1-7). 2 patients have had grade 3 elevation in PT/INR, otherwise there have been no grade 3/4 treatment related toxicities to date. The pharmacokinetics of BPM 31510 are linear and there were no sex differences in the parameters normalized by dose and body surface area. Tmax and Cmax are associated with the end of the infusion. The values for t1/2 ranged from 2.18 to 13.3 hr, with little or no dependence of t1/2 on dose. Objective tumor responses have been noted at the dose of 58.6mg/kg with 1 partial response (myxoid liposarcoma) and 1 minor response (pleomorphic sarcoma). Six patients (19%) have had disease stabilization (> 4 months). Conclusions: Interim data from this phase I study indicate that BPM 31510 is well tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities to date. A partial response and minor response were observed and correlates with dose escalation. Taken together, there is strong rationale for further clinical development of this compound as an anti-cancer agent.

12018 Background: The primary endpoint of this prospective phase I study of DOX-TOP in pts with advanced solid tumors was to identify the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of this combination. Other objectives included a description of additional toxicities and efficacy in this patient population with refractory cancers. Pharmacokinetic sampling of TOP plasma levels will be reported separately. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced solid tumors and had either failed standard chemotherapy (chemo) or were pts for whom no standard therapy existed. They had ECOG PS = 0–2, adequate organ function, and gave written, informed consent. Initial doses included DOX 40 mg/m2 day 1 and TOP 2 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and 15 q 28 days. TOP was to be escalated in cohorts of pts. DLT was defined as febrile neutropenia, grade 4 thrombocytopenia, any grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity, or the inability to receive subsequent treatment due to ongoing toxicity. Treatment was held for ANC < 1000 or platelets < 75,000. Results: Fourteen pts have been enrolled on this phase I study, all of whom were evaluable for toxicity. There were 12 males and 2 females, and the median age was 57 years (range 25–86). Four had ECOG PS = 0, 9 had PS = 1, and 1 had PS = 2. Cancer types included head and neck (3), renal (2), and breast, pancreas, liver, esophagus, germ cell tumor, sarcoma, and others (one each). In the 6 pts treated at dose level 1, toxicities included grade 3 anemia (1) and neutropenia (2), and grade 4 neutropenia (1). DLT consisted of grade 4 thrombocytopenia (1) and inability to deliver day 15 TOP in 3/6 pts at this dose. Thus, TOP was reduced to 1.5 mg/m2 weekly for dose level -1, and 8 pts have been treated. Toxicities included grade 3 anemia (1)and neutropenia (2), and grade 4 neutropenia (1) and thrombocytopenia (1). Enrollment continues at this dose level to confirm tolerability. No patient achieved an objective response to therapy, but 2 pts have stable disease for up to 4 cycles. Conclusions: DOX-TOP can be safely combined in pts with advanced solid tumors, with hematologic toxicity as the DLT. The preliminary recommended phase II dose is DOX 40 mg/m2 and TOP 1.5 mg/m2. We plan to explore an additional dose level of DOX 30 mg/m2 and TOP 2 mg/m2. Phase II evaluation is contemplated in selected tumor types. [Table: see text]

2536 Background: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the oral anti-angiogenic drug pazopanib in combination with oral topotecan, an inhibitor of topoisomerase-I. Methods: Two-stage, two-arm, dose escalation and pharmacokinetic phase I study of pazopanib and oral topotecan in patients with advanced solid tumors, (NCT00732420, www.clinicaltrials.gov). This interim report describes the bioavailability and safety results for daily pazopanib combined with oral topotecan (days 1, 8, 15) in a 28-day cycle. Results: Twenty-eight of 32 patients completed at least one cycle and were evaluable for analysis. Three dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred: grade 3 hand-foot-syndrome, diarrhea and neutropenia. Pazopanib 800 mg/topotecan 10 mg exceeded the MTD with two DLTs in six patients. The most frequent treatment-related toxicities were grade 3 anemia (3/28), leukocytopenia, neutropenia and fatigue (2/28 each). One death due to hepatic failure occurred at pazopanib 800mg/toptecan 2mg in a heavily pre-treated patient with sarcoma that may have been related to paracetamol ingestion but attribution to the pazopanib can not be excluded. Topotecan AUC0-∞ increased 1.58-fold (90%CI: 1.09–1.29) and Cmax increased 1.78-fold (90%CI: 1.08-2.92) when given with pazopanib compared to single administration (n=7). Pazopanib AUC0-24 and Cmax ratios were not increased when co-administered with topotecan: 0.98 (90%CI: 0.95-1.02) and 0.96 (90%CI: 0.92-1.01). Twenty-three patients were evaluable for response (RECIST): PR (2/23; 9%, both ovarian cancer); SD (13/23; 57%) and PD (8/23; 35%). Pazopanib 800 mg/topotecan 8 mg is currently being explored in an expansion cohort. A second treatment arm of pazopanib 800 mg with topotecan daily x5 is ongoing and will be reported separately. Conclusions: Daily pazopanib and weekly oral topotecan is tolerable with handfoot syndrome, neutropenia and fatigue as dose limited side effects. Pazopanib increased topotecan exposure 1.58-fold (AUC0-∞) and 1.78-fold (Cmax). Clinical trial information: NCT00732420.

3093 Background: E is a new marine compound that has shown synergism with T in vitro even in T-resistant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. Based on these findings, a phase I clinical trial was undertaken to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD) of E (3-h iv, days 1, 8 and 15) followed by T (once daily) in 3-week cycles. Secondary objectives were evaluation of safety and feasibility, PK and preliminary efficacy results. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors with no standard therapeutic option were recruited. Cohorts of 3-6 pts were included at each dose level (DL), with escalating doses of E in increments of 25-50% according to toxicities, and 2 different T doses (100 and 150 mg/day). Results: Thirty pts (median age, 57 years; 19 females) were evaluable. Main tumor types included NSCLC, colorectal, melanoma, and ovarian cancer. Six DLs were assessed. Starting DL was E 0.33 mg + T 100mg. One dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) out of 6 pts (grade 3 bilirubin increase) was observed at DL3 (E 0.75 mg + T 150 mg). Another DLT (dose omissions due to ALT increase) was found at DL6 (E 2.25 mg + T 100 mg). Frequent toxicities were diarrhea (53%), nausea (23%), vomiting (33%), rash (47%), pruritus (43%), dry skin (27%) and acneiform dermatitis (17%). Grade 3/4 toxicities included diarrhea (2 pts), rash (2 pts) and pruritus (1 pts). Main biochemical abnormalities were ALT (grade 3/4 in 4 pts) and total bilirubin increase (grade 3 in 2 pts). No severe hematological abnormalities were observed. Most toxicities were related to T; therefore, T dose was reduced to 100 mg/day. No PK interaction between E and T was observed. No objective responses were reported. Six pts attained stable disease >3 months (3 NSCLC; 1 ovarian cancer, 1 colorectal cancer, 1 invasive thymoma). Conclusions: E + T was a manageable combination; however, the difficulty of combining E with the standard dose of T (150mg) and the lack of activity made this combination unattractive for further development in the current schedule. Possibly, other schedules may demonstrate more efficacy.

Safety And Efficacy

3101 Background: IDO is an enzyme of interest in immuno-oncology because of the immunosuppressive effects that result from its role in tryptophan catabolism. Clinical trials of IDO inhibitors with immunotherapy are under active investigation. The addition of angiogenesis inhibitor may further enhance the anti-tumor immune responses. Here we report the safety and efficacy results of SHR9146 (IDO inhibitor) plus camrelizumab (PD-1 antibody) with/without apatinib (VEGFR-2 inhibitor) in patients (pts) with advanced solid cancers who failed standard antitumor therapies. Methods: This was an open-label, phase I study. Eligible puts would receive SHR9146 (escalated dose) plus camrelizumab (200 mg IV, q2w) alone (Cohort A) or in combination with apatinib (250 mg p.o. qd) (Cohort B). Each cohort was conducted according to a 3+3 dose escalation design. The starting dose of SHR9146 was 100mg bid, followed by 200, 400, 600 mg bid. The two primary endpoints were Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MDT). The secondary objective was to analysis the incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and efficacy. Results: As of Oct 31, 2020, 23 pts have been enrolled (Cohort A:14, Cohort B: 9; median age: 54 years; median prior therapies: 2 lines;). Cohort A was escalating at 600mg, and Cohort B was escalating at 400mg. Two pts experienced DLTs: one DLT (G4 hypercalcemia) was observed at 600mg in Cohort A; the other DLT (G3 rash) was observed at 400mg in Cohort B. MDT was not reached and the study was still ongoing. In Cohort A, ORR and DCR in evaluable pts were 21.4% (3/14, all confirmed) and 42.9% (6/14). Partial response was observed in 3 pts with liver cancer (1/3), renal cancer (1/3), and cervix cancer (1/3). In Cohort B, ORR and DCR in evaluable pts were 33.3%(3/9, all confirmed) and 77.8%(7/9). Partial response was observed in 3 pts with SCLC (1/3), prostate cancer (1/3) and renal cancer (1/3). The incidence of pts with TRAEs and grade>=3 TRAEs were 91.3% (21/23) and 39.1% (9/23) respectively. The most common grade>=3 TRAEs were hypercalcemia (26.1%, 6/23), fatigue (17.4%, 4/23) and nausea (13.0%, 3/23). No fatal AEs were observed. G3 nausea, G3 lipase increased and G2 GGT increased resulted in SHR9146 dose reduction in 3 pts (Cohort A). Conclusions: SHR9146 plus camrelizumab in combination with/without apatinib demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity with acceptable safety in pts with advanced solid tumors. Further study is needed to validate the efficacy and safety. Clinical trial information: NCT03491631.

PURPOSE: We conducted a phase I and pharmacokinetic study of docetaxel in combination with irinotecan to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), and the dose at which at least 50% of the patients experienced a DLT during the first cycle, and to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles in patients with advanced solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with only one prior chemotherapy treatment (without taxanes or topoisomerase I inhibitors) for advanced disease were included in the study. Docetaxel was administered as a 1-hour IV infusion after premedication with corticosteroids followed immediately by irinotecan as a 90-minute IV infusion, every 3 weeks. No hematologic growth factors were allowed. RESULTS: Forty patients were entered through the following seven dose levels (docetaxel/irinotecan): 40/140 mg/m2, 50/175 mg/m2, 60/210 mg/m2, 60/250 mg/m2, 60/275 mg/m2, 60/300 mg/m2, and 70/250 mg/m2. Two hundred cycles were administered. Two MTDs were determined, 70/250 mg/m2 and 60/300 mg/m2; the DLTs were febrile neutropenia and diarrhea. Neutropenia was the main hematologic toxicity, with 85% of patients experiencing grade 4 neutropenia. Grade 3/4 nonhematologic toxicities in patients included late diarrhea (7.5%), asthenia (15.0%), febrile neutropenia (22.5%), infection (7.5%), and nausea (5.0%). Pharmacokinetics of both docetaxel and irinotecan were not modified with the administration schedule of this study. CONCLUSION: The recommended dose of docetaxel in combination with irinotecan is 60/275 mg/m2, respectively. At this dose level, the safety profile is manageable. The activity of this combination should be evaluated in phase II studies in different tumor types.

3082 Background: CX-3543 is a novel small molecule specifically designed to target three dimensional nucleic acid motifs, and thus induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Preclinically, CX-3543 demonstrated potency in suppressing xenograft tumor growth with a broad therapeutic window. The objectives of this phase I study are: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), to establish the pharmacokinetics (PKs), and to determine the recommended dose for further clinical development of CX-3543. Methods: Eligible patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas whose tumors progressed on standard therapy or for whom there are no standard therapies receive CX-3543 in successive dose cohorts at: 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/m2. Dosing is by one hour intravenous infusion daily for five consecutive days repeated on a three week cycle. Therapy is continued until the patient shows signs of intolerance to CX-3543 or evidence of advancing disease. Response by RECIST criteria is determined after every 2 cycles. Results: Ten patients with solid tumors (3–4 per cohort) have received intravenous CX-3543. Doses have been well tolerated. Seven grade 3 adverse events have been reported during the study, but none of these are related to CX-3543. To date no objective responses have been observed. One patient with advanced refractory prostate cancer has stable disease of longer than 4 months duration. CX-3543 has demonstrated good linearity in PK parameters between the dose cohorts with a terminal half life of approximately 12 hours following the first dose.
