9029 Background: Clinical data indicate that combining a BRAF and a MEK inhibitor (BRAFi, MEKi) may be more effective than BRAFi monotherapy in BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma and that a MEKi may overcome or delay resistance to a BRAFi. Methods: This ongoing phase 1b/2 study is evaluating the combination of LGX818, a potent, selective BRAF inhibitor, and MEK162, a selective MEK1/2 inhibitor, in BRAFi-naive and -pretreated patients with BRAF-mutant tumors. The objective of the phase 1b part is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for oral, daily LGX818 + MEK162 in BRAF V600–mutant advanced solid tumors. A Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control guides the treatment dose escalation. Results: As of January 8, 2013, 20 patients (7 BRAFi-naive melanoma; 9 BRAFi-pretreated melanoma; 2 BRAFi-naive thyroid cancer; 1 BRAFi-naive metastatic colorectal cancer; 1 BRAFi-pretreated colorectal cancer) were treated with LGX818 qd + MEK162 bid at the following dose levels (DLs): 50 mg + 45 mg, 100 mg + 45 mg, 200 mg + 45 mg, and 400 mg + 45 mg. No dose-limiting toxicity has been observed at these DLs. The next DL of 600 mg + 45 mg is under investigation. The single agent RP2Ds for LGX818 and MEK162 are 450 mg and 45 mg, respectively. The most common adverse events (≥ 20%, all grades) suspected to be treatment related were nausea, abdominal pain, and headache. No events of fever, hand-foot-skin reactions, hyperkeratosis, or squamous cell carcinoma were observed. In patients with at least 1 post-baseline CT scan available for investigator-determined response, a complete response was observed in 1/7 (14%) BRAFi-naïve melanoma patients and partial responses were observed in 5/7 (71%) BRAFi-naive melanoma patients, 2/9 (22%) BRAFi-pretreated melanoma patients (starting at 50 mg + 45 mg DL), and 1/2 thyroid cancer patients. Conclusions: Preliminary data from this study indicate that LGX818 + MEK162 can be safely combined with promising clinical benefit. No febrile events or photosensitivity were reported suggesting a distinct safety profile for this BRAFi/MEKi combination vs others. Clinical trial information: NCT01543698.

2578 Background: Aberrant PI3K/AKT signaling in BRAF mutant cancers contributes to resistance to MAPK pathway blockade. We conducted parallel phase 1 dose escalation studies of the doublet of the BRAFi dabrafenib with the AKT inhibitor GSK2141795 and of the triplet of dabrafenib, the MEKi trametinib, and GSK2141795. Methods: Patients (pts) with BRAF-V600E/K mutant advanced solid tumors with adequate end-organ function were eligible regardless of prior BRAFi and MEKi exposure. All pts received dabrafenib at 150 mg twice daily (bid), in the doublet cohorts together with dose escalation (3 + 3 scheme) of GSK2141795 started at 50 mg daily (qd), and in the triplet cohorts with dose escalation of both trametinib starting at 1.5 mg qd and GSK2141795 starting at 25 mg qd. DLTs included significant grade 3 and 4 adverse events (CTCAE v4) within the first 56 days of treatment. Radiographic responses were assessed at 8-week intervals. Results: No DLTs were observed in the doublet cohorts (N = 8) up to dabrafenib 150 mg bid and GSK2141795 75 mg qd. In the triplet cohorts (N = 11), no DLTs were observed at doses of up to trametinib 1.5 mg daily with GSK2141795 75 mg daily. At the highest triplet dose with dabrafenib 150 mg bid, trametinib 2 mg qd with GSK2141795 75 mg qd, 1 of 2 evaluable pts had a DLT of grade 3 febrile neutropenia and grade 3 maculo-papular rash. 2/2 treatment-naïve in the doublet cohorts had PRs (1 melanoma and 1 thyroid) the latter lasting over 1 year. 1/6 BRAF inhibitor-refractory (melanoma) pts also had an objective response. In the triplet cohorts, 3 of 6 treatment-naïve pts had a PR (1 melanoma, 2 lung). One lung pt remains in PR at 2 months and the otherhas an uPR at 1.2 months. Conclusions: Inhibition of both MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways was well tolerated, leading to durable objective responses in pts with metastatic melanoma, thyroid cancer, and lung cancer. Further study of dual pathway inhibition is warranted. Funding: Supported in part by NIH/NCI grants CA180888, CA180819; and in part by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and GlaxoSmithKline, LLC.

BackgroundAvelumab is an anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of advanced UC after disease progression during or following platinum-based chemotherapy and as maintenance treatment in patients whose disease has not progressed with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.1–3 M9241 is an immunocytokine composed of 2 heterodimers of IL-12 fused to the heavy chains of a human antibody targeting DNA released from necrotic tumor cells.4 During dose-escalation, avelumab + M9241 was well tolerated and showed promising antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors, including 2 objective responses in patients with UC.5 We report on an interim analysis of efficacy and safety from the dose-expansion part of JAVELIN IL-12 (NCT02994953).MethodsEligible patients had locally advanced or metastatic UC that had progressed on first-line therapy, were aged =18 years, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0/1, and were immune checkpoint inhibitor naive. Patients received the recommended phase 2 dose5 of avelumab 800 mg intravenously once weekly (QW) in combination with M9241 16.8 µg/kg subcutaneously Q4W for the first 12 weeks, then continued the combination with avelumab Q2W. The primary endpoints were confirmed best overall response (BOR) per investigator assessment (RECIST 1.1) and safety. The expansion cohort followed a 2-stage design. During stage 1 (single-arm part of the study), 16 patients were enrolled and treated. A futility analysis based on BOR was planned to determine if stage 2 (randomized controlled part of the study) would be initiated.ResultsAt data cut-off (Jun 3, 2020), 16 patients had received avelumab + M9241 for a median duration of 8 weeks (range, 4.0–25.0 weeks). No complete or partial responses were observed; the study failed to meet the criterion (>2 responders) to initiate stage 2. Two patients (12.5%) had stable disease, 13 (81.3%) had progressive disease, and 1 (6.3%) was not evaluable. Any-grade treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 15 patients (93.8%); the most common (in =4 patients) were pyrexia (50.0%), nausea (37.5%), asthenia (31.3%), anemia (25.0%), and hyperthermia (25.0%); grade 4 gamma-glutamyltransferase increased occurred in 1 patient (6.3%). No TRAEs led to death. Pharmacodynamic effects on the peripheral immune system and results of pharmacokinetic and biomarker analyses will also be reported.ConclusionsThe predefined efficacy criterion to proceed to stage 2 was not met. The combination was well tolerated; no new safety signals emerged and the profile was consistent with the dose-escalation part of the study.5Trial RegistrationNCT02994953Ethics ApprovalThe study was approved by each site’s independent ethics committee.ConsentN/AReferencesBavencio(avelumab) injection [package insert].

2631 Background: MGC018 is an investigational ADC with a duocarmycin payload linked to an anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody (mAb). B7-H3 is expressed on multiple solid tumors with limited normal tissue expression. It is hypothesized that MGC018 may exert activity against B7-H3-expressing tumors with an acceptable safety profile. Studies demonstrate that B7-H3 is a significant factor in progression and events of metastasis of multiple tumor types, including melanoma. Methods: This phase 1 study characterizes safety, maximum tolerated or maximum administered dose, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and tumor response per RECIST v1.1 of MGC018 in a 3+3+3 dose escalation design in patients with advanced solid tumors. MGC018 was administered intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks. Results: The study enrolled 29 patients of multiple tumor types, which included 3 melanoma patients refractory to ≥2 prior lines of checkpoint therapy. The study completed 5 of 6 planned dose cohorts (0.5 mg/kg - 4 mg/kg) as of the data cutoff of 21 January 2021. The final cohort of 4 mg/kg has 3 patients with ongoing treatment and follow-up at the date of submission. Dosing MGC018 IV every 3 weeks resulted in minimal serum accumulation. At least 1 treatment emergent adverse event occurred in 29 patients (100.0%); most common (≥25%) were anemia, neutropenia, fatigue, hyperpigmentation, infusion related reaction, nausea, and palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia. Two dose-limiting toxicities occurred; one grade 4 neutropenia (2 mg/kg) and one grade 3 fatigue lasting 7 days (4 mg/kg). No febrile neutropenia was reported. The 3 melanoma patients had reductions in target lesion sum of 24.4%, 27.5%, and 35% (unconfirmed partial response) and remain on treatment as of the data cutoff. The recommended phase 2 dose was determined to be 3 mg/kg. Conclusions: Results to date demonstrate a manageable safety profile, with early evidence of clinical activity in pretreated metastatic melanoma. Cohort expansion is ongoing using a recommended phase 2 dose of 3 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks. The planned enrollment includes advanced metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, melanoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT03729596.

2556 Background: Depletion of tumor-infiltrating CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which inhibit tumor-specific immune responses, could contribute to tumor eradication. Cami (ADCT-301), an anti-CD25, pyrrolobenzodiazepine-based antibody-drug conjugate, targets CD25+ Tregs. A mouse surrogate has shown potent antitumor activity in solid tumor models. Here we report preliminary data from the monotherapy arm of a phase 1b trial of Cami in pts with selected advanced solid tumors. Methods: The monotherapy dose-escalation part of this open-label study enrolled pts (aged ≥18 years) with selected advanced solid tumors and no suitable existing therapy. The primary objective was to characterize safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of Cami monotherapy. Secondary and exploratory objectives included evaluation of preliminary antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity. Pts received Cami every 3 weeks (1 cycle) with dose escalation per a 3+3 design. Disease control rate (DCR) was assessed (complete and partial responses [CR, PR] and stable disease). Results: At data cut-off (Dec 17, 2020), 44 pts were enrolled, with primary tumor types (stage IVA/B: 27 pts; 61.4%) of colorectal (15 pts; 34.1%), pancreatic (14 pts; 31.8%), head and neck, ovarian/fallopian tube, and renal cell carcinoma (all 3 pts; 6.8%), non-small cell lung cancer (2 pts; 4.5%), gastric, esophageal/GEJ, melanoma, and triple-negative breast cancer (each 1 pt; 2.3%). Median (range) age was 60.5 (33–82) years; median (range) number of prior systemic therapies was 4 (1–9). Pts received a median (range) of 2 (1–6) Cami cycles at doses of 20–150 µg/kg. Median (range) treatment duration was 22 (1–178) days. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. All-grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥20% pts were nausea (18 pts; 40.9%), decreased appetite and fatigue (each 16 pts; 36.4%), constipation (13 pts; 29.5%), abdominal pain (11 pts; 25%), and rash (10 pts; 22.7%). The only Grade ≥3 TEAE in ≥10% pts was anemia (5 pts; 11.4%). Grade 3 autoimmune AEs (colitis, immune-mediated AE, systemic inflammatory response syndrome) and neurologic AEs (dysphagia and asthenia, but not GBS) were reported in 3 (6.8%) and 2 (4.5%) pts, respectively. 1 (2.3%) Cami-related TEAE led to treatment withdrawal; no Cami-related TEAEs were fatal. DCR was 25% (95% CI: 11.1, 34.7); 11/44 pts attained stable disease. No pts had CR or PR. Conclusions: Dose escalation of Cami monotherapy is complete. The safety profile is encouraging and MTD was not reached. PK/PD data will be presented. 150 µg/kg is the highest dose investigated for single-agent Cami and the highest to be investigated combined with pembrolizumab in selected advanced solid tumors in the current protocol.

TPS2654 Background: Programmed cell death 1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1) have demonstrated clinical benefit in a subset of patients with manageable safety across a variety of tumor types. T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain-containing molecule-3 (TIM-3) can be co-expressed with PD-1 on exhausted T-cells and may be upregulated in tumors refractory to anti-PD-1 therapy (Koyama et al. 2016). Pre-clinical studies demonstrated that blockade of both PD-1 and TIM-3 improved survival of tumor-bearing mice compared to blocking anti-PD-1 only (Koyama et al. 2016). LY3415244 is a TIM-3/PD-L1 bispecific antibody that has the ability to target and inhibit both TIM-3 and PD-L1 and the potential to overcome primary and acquired anti-PD-(L)1 resistance by a novel mechanism to bridge TIM-3- and PD-L1-expressing cells. Methods: Study JZDA is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, Phase 1a/1b study of LY3415244 in patients with advanced solid tumors. In Phase 1a, subjects with any tumor type who are either PD-(L)1 inhibitor-naïve or exposed are eligible. In Phase 1b, expansion cohorts are planned in subjects with PD-(L)1-experienced NSCLC, urothelial carcinoma, and melanoma. Patients with malignant mesothelioma are not required to have received prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. The primary objective is to assess safety and tolerability of LY3415244 and identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in Phase 1a (dose escalation). Safety and tolerability of the RP2D will be assessed in Phase 1b (dose expansion). The secondary objectives are to assess the pharmacokinetics of LY3415244 in Phase 1a/1b and assess early antitumor activity of LY3415244 in Phase 1b cohorts. Pre- and on-treatment biopsies will be obtained to explore potential biomarkers of response. During Phase 1a, dose escalation cohorts will proceed via a modified toxicity probability interval-2 (mTPI-2) design with a 1-cycle (28-day) dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period. LY3415244 will be dosed intravenously every 2 weeks. Data from Phase 1a will determine the RP2D, which will be used for all cohorts in Phase 1b. The study is currently open to enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT03752177.

TPS3147 Background: Productive antitumor immune responses in nonclinical models depend on a type of dendritic cell (DC), conventional DC subtype 1 (cDC1), which in the context of cancer, primes tumor-reactive T cells through presentation of tumor-derived antigens. FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) is a hematopoietic growth factor that binds to and activates FLT3 on terminally differentiated DCs. Activated FLT3 promotes proliferation, inhibits cell death, and is required for the differentiation, expansion, and maintenance of DCs in peripheral and lymphoid organs. GS-3583 is a fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of recombinant human FLT3L fused to an engineered fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of human immunoglobulin G4. GS-3583 has PK properties that support sustained cDC in patients and potential combination with established immunotherapies. This phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, dose-finding study will evaluate safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of GS-3583 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT04747470). Methods: Approximately 33 adults aged ≥18 years with a histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumor that is refractory to or intolerant of standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available will be enrolled. The study employs a 3+3 dose escalation design in which GS-3583 is administered intravenously for up to 52 weeks or until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Up to five dose escalation cohorts have been planned. The maximum tolerated dose is the highest dose with incidence of DLT in < 33% of 6 or more patients in the first 28 days of GS-3583 dosing; recommended phase 2 dose will be determined. Assessments include safety, PK, pharmacodynamics including cDCs, immunogenicity, and efficacy by RECIST 1.1 in CT/MRI imaging conducted every 8 weeks. Accrual at approximately 3-4 centers in the US is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04747470.
