TPS4153 Background: Rilotumumab is an investigational, fully human monoclonal antibody to hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor that inhibits signaling through the MET receptor. In a randomized phase II study in patients with advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, addition of rilotumumab every 3 weeks (Q3W) to ECX showed trends toward improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared with ECX alone. In patients with high tumor MET expression and high rilotumumab exposure, the treatment effect of rilotumumab combined with ECX was significantly enhanced. Methods: In this phase III study, patients (planned N=450) are randomized 1:1 to ECX (intravenous [IV] epirubicin 50 mg/m2 on day 1, IV cisplatin 60 mg/m2 on day 1, and oral capecitabine 625 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1−21) plus double-blind rilotumumab 15 mg/kg or placebo IV Q3W. Randomization is stratified by disease extent (locally advanced vs metastatic) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score (0 vs 1). Key eligibility criteria include previously untreated, pathologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma; ECOG score 0 or 1; ≥18 years old; MET-positive by centralized immunohistochemistry; HER2-negative; adequate organ function; and ≥6 months since neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. The primary endpoint is OS. Key secondary endpoints include PFS, 12-month survival rate, objective response, OS in MET expression tertiles, safety, and pharmacokinetics. An exploratory objective is to assess associations between outcomes and tumor and circulating biomarkers. Enrollment began in November 2012, and the trial continues to accrue. An independent data monitoring committee will conduct planned interim reviews for safety and efficacy. Status: recruiting participants. Sponsored by Amgen Inc. Clinical trial information: NCT01697072.

TPS226 Background: Rilotumumab is an investigational, fully human monoclonal antibody to hepatocyte growth factor, the only known ligand of the MET receptor. In a phase 2 study, trends toward improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were seen with rilotumumab plus epirubicin, cisplatin and capecitabine (ECX) vs ECX alone in pts with G/GEJ cancer; the treatment effect of rilotumumab was enhanced in MET-positive pts (Iveson et al. Lancet Oncol 2014;15:1007). In a phase 1/1b study, rilotumumab plus CX had manageable toxicities and a favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile in Japanese pts with MET-positive G/GEJ cancer (Doi et al. J Clin Oncol 2014;32:5s,abstract 4051). Methods: In this phase 3 study, 450 pts from Asian countries are randomized 1:1 to CX (intravenous [IV] cisplatin 80 mg/m2 on day 1 and oral capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1−14) plus double-blind rilotumumab 15 mg/kg or placebo IV on day 1 every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles. After cycle 6, pts will receive capecitabine plus rilotumumab or placebo. Randomization is stratified by disease extent (locally advanced vs metastatic), prior surgery for G/GEJ or esophageal cancer (yes vs no), and country (China vs other). Key eligibility criteria include previously untreated, pathologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, ≥20 years, ECOG score ≤1, MET-positive by centralized immunohistochemistry, HER2-negative, adequate organ function, and ≥6 months since neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. The primary endpoints are PFS and OS. A log-rank test stratified by the randomization factors will compare PFS and OS between arms. Key secondary endpoints include 12-month survival rate, time to progression, objective response and disease control rates, duration of/time to response, safety, and PK. Enrollment began in July 2014, and the trial continues to recruit participants. The study is overseen by an independent data monitoring committee. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02137343. Sponsor: Amgen Inc. Clinical trial information: NCT02137343.

TPS4135 Background: Ganitumab (AMG 479) is an investigational, fully human, monoclonal antibody inhibitor of the IGF1R. In a randomized phase II study in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, addition of ganitumab 12 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W) to G prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (Kindler. Ann Onc. 2010;21:741P). Exposure-efficacy analysis showed that patients with higher ganitumab exposure levels (AUCss at or above median) had longer PFS and OS (Lu. JCO. 2011;29:4049). Methods: In this phase III study, patients are randomized 2:2:1 to placebo + G, ganitumab 12 mg/kg + G, or ganitumab 20 mg/kg + G. Patients receive ganitumab or placebo IV days (D) 1 and 15 and G 1000 mg/m2 IV D 1, 8, and 15 every 28 D. Patients receiving 20 mg/kg ganitumab are expected to achieve ganitumab levels above the median in phase 2. Key eligibility criteria: untreated metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas; ECOG score 0 or 1; ≥ 18 years old; adequate organ function; and fasting (or non-fasting) glucose ≤ 160 mg/dL. The primary endpoint is OS. A log-rank test stratified by ECOG, presence of liver metastases, and geographic region will compare OS independently for each ganitumab arm at an overall one-sided 2.5% significance level for declaring superiority of ganitumab + G vs placebo + G. Key secondary endpoints include PFS, objective response, safety, and patient-reported outcomes. An additional objective is to define a subpopulation with improved OS based upon baseline levels of circulating biomarkers. Enrollment began in April 2011. As of January 23, 2012, 463 of 825 patients have been enrolled. The study is overseen by an independent data monitoring committee. Status: open. Supported by Amgen Inc. in collaboration with Takeda Global Research & Development Center, Inc.; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01231347.

TPS4648 Background: Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Capecitabine + oxaliplatin (CAPOX) is a standard first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Claudin (CLDN)18.2 has emerged as a promising targetable biomarker. In healthy tissue, CLDN18.2, a tight junction protein, is confined to gastric mucosa (ie, cells in the pit and base regions of gastric glands). Upon malignant transformation, structural loss in gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma cells may allow antibodies more access to previously unavailable CLDN18.2. Zolbetuximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to CLDN18.2 and mediates cell death through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. Results of a phase 2 study (NCT01630083) showed prolonged survival of patients with CLDN18.2-positive (CLDN18.2+) advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with zolbetuximab + epirubicin, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine (EOX) vs EOX alone. Methods: This phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT03653507) will enroll ~500 adult patients from global sites. Patients are required to have CLDN18.2+/HER2− locally advanced unresectable or metastatic G or GEJ adenocarcinoma that is radiographically evaluable per RECIST v1.1. Patients are not permitted to have received prior treatment with chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic G or GEJ adenocarcinoma. Patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either zolbetuximab plus CAPOX or placebo plus CAPOX. Randomization will be stratified by region (Asia vs non-Asia), number of metastatic sites (0 to 2 vs ≥3), and prior gastrectomy (yes vs no). Zolbetuximab will be administered at a loading dose of 800 mg/m2 IV on Cycle 1 Day 1 followed by 600 mg/m2 IV every 3 weeks. Central testing of tumor tissue will determine CLDN18.2 and HER2 status (if unknown); patients will be considered CLDN18.2+ if ≥75% of tumor cells demonstrate moderate-to-strong membranous immunohistochemical staining. The primary objective is to compare progression-free survival between treatment arms. Secondary endpoints are overall survival; objective response rate; duration of response; and the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of zolbetuximab. As of January 31, 2020, 127 sites were active and open to enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT03653507 .

TPS4148 Background: Tumors often consist of highly hypoxic subregions that are resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The investigational hypoxia-targeted drug TH-302 is reduced at its nitroimidazole group, and under hypoxic conditions releases the DNA alkylator bromo-isophosphoramide mustard (Br-IPM). A randomized Phase IIb trial of TH-302 in pts with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) confirmed a significant PFS improvement (p=0.008) in pts treated with TH-302 at 340 mg/m2+ gemcitabine compared with gemcitabine alone (Borad et al, ESMO 2012). Skin and mucosal toxicities, mainly Grade 1/2, and myelosuppression (thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and anemia) were the most common AEs related to TH-302 and did not lead to increases in treatment discontinuation. Grade 3/4 myelosuppression was more frequent in the TH-302 + gemcitabine arm. AEs leading to treatment discontinuation as well as non-hematological serious AEs were balanced across arms. Methods: This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (NCT01746979) of gemcitabine + TH-302 compared with gemcitabine + placebo in pts with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic PDAC. The study is designed to detect a 25% risk reduction of death with 90% power and two-sided alpha of 5%. A total of 660 pts are planned to be randomized 1:1. Key eligibility criteria include histologically or cytologically confirmed disease, no prior chemotherapy or systemic therapy (except as specified in the protocol), ECOG performance status 0 – 1, and bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal. Randomized pts receive TH-302 + gemcitabine or gemcitabine + placebo in 4-week cycles until progressive disease, intolerable toxicity, or pt withdrawal. The primary objective is to evaluate OS. Secondary objectives include PFS, objective response, and disease control; safety and tolerability; pt-reported QoL and pain; CA 19-9 levels and PK of TH-302; exploratory pharmacogenomic markers and potential predictive biomarkers. Enrollment to the study is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT01746979.

155 Background: BRCA-mutated tumors are more susceptible to platinum therapy and PARP inhibitors due to underlying defects in homologous recombination repair of DNA damage. In preclinical models the potent oral PARP1/2 inhibitor veliparib was shown to enhance sensitivity to C and to have single-agent activity in BRCA+ cell lines. Phase 1 trials suggest promising antitumor activity and acceptable toxicity of veliparib plus C/P in triple-negative BC (Puhalla et al. Cancer Res 2012;72:PD09-06) and single-agent activity of veliparib in BRCA+ BC (Somlo et al. J Clin Oncol 2014;32:abstr. 1021). This phase III trial assesses efficacy and toxicity of veliparib plus C/P vs C/P alone in patients with HER2− BRCA-associated locally advanced or metastatic BC (NCT02163694). Methods: Phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial. Eligible patients (female or male; ≥ 18 years) have HER2−metastatic/locally advanced unresectable BC with (suspected) deleterious BRCA1/2 germline mutations and received 2 or fewer prior lines of DNA-damaging chemotherapy for metastatic BC. In addition, patients must have received ≤ 1 prior line of platinum therapy (any setting) without progression within 12 months of completing treatment. Patients are randomized 2:1 to C/P with veliparib or C/P with placebo, stratified by estrogen and/or progesterone receptor expression, prior platinum therapy, and central nervous system metastases. Veliparib (120 mg p.o. BID) or placebo will be given on Days −2 to 5, C (AUC 6 mg/mL/min i.v.) on Day 1, and P (80 mg/m2i.v.) on Days 1, 8, and 15 (21-day cycles). Treatment continues until unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease (PD). Patients in the placebo arm who discontinue due to PD are eligible for crossover to veliparib monotherapy. The primary objective is to assess if the addition of veliparib to C/P increases progression-free survival; additional objectives include evaluation of overall survival, clinical benefit rate, objective response rate, quality of life, and safety. Enrollment began in July 2014 with a planned sample size of 270 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT02163694.

Purpose Brivanib is a selective dual inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor receptors implicated in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). An unmet medical need persists for patients with HCC whose tumors do not respond to sorafenib or who cannot tolerate it. This multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial assessed brivanib in patients with HCC who had been treated with sorafenib. Patients and Methods In all, 395 patients with advanced HCC who progressed on/after or were intolerant to sorafenib were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive brivanib 800 mg orally once per day plus best supportive care (BSC) or placebo plus BSC. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points included time to progression (TTP), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate based on modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) and safety. Results Median OS was 9.4 months for brivanib and 8.2 months for placebo (hazard ratio [HR], 0.89; 95.8% CI, 0.69 to 1.15; P = .3307). Adjusting treatment effect for baseline prognostic factors yielded an OS HR of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.63 to 1.04; P = .1044). Exploratory analyses showed a median time to progression of 4.2 months for brivanib and 2.7 months for placebo (HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.76; P < .001), and an mRECIST ORR of 10% for brivanib and 2% for placebo (odds ratio, 5.72). Study discontinuation due to treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurred in 61 brivanib patients (23%) and nine placebo patients (7%). The most frequent treatment-related grade 3 to 4 AEs for brivanib included hypertension (17%), fatigue (13%), hyponatremia (11%), and decreased appetite (10%). Conclusion In patients with HCC who had been treated with sorafenib, brivanib did not significantly improve OS. The observed benefit in the secondary outcomes of TTP and ORR warrants further investigation.

TPS498 Background: Treatment options are limited for patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who progress following prior platinum-based and checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of an anti–Trop-2 monoclonal antibody coupled to SN-38 (an active metabolite of irinotecan, a topoisomerase-I inhibitor) via a unique hydrolyzable linker. A phase II registrational study, TROPHY-U-01 study, confirmed the initial positive efficacy signal in mUC. SG demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 27% and median overall survival (OS) of 10.5 months in patients with mUC (median 3 prior lines of therapy and 87% with ≥1 Bellmunt risk factors) who progressed after prior platinum-based and CPI therapies (n=113; Loriot ESMO 2020). The results compared favorably with historic single-agent chemotherapy (ORR ~10%; OS ≤7 months). A phase III trial has been initiated to confirm these findings. Methods: TROPiCS-04 (NCT04527991) is a global, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial in patients with locally advanced unresectable or mUC who progressed after prior platinum-based and CPI therapies (with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0–1 and adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function). Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive SG 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on day 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles or single-agent treatment of physician’s choice (paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, docetaxel 75 mg/m2, or vinflunine 320 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of 21-day cycles) until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Treatment beyond progressive disease may be permitted in patients deemed to be receiving clinical benefit per investigator assessment. Approximately 482 patients will be enrolled to provide 90% power on the primary endpoint of OS. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, ORR, clinical benefit rate, duration of response (all per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1), safety, and quality of life. Study initiation is ongoing and enrollment begins in Q4 2020 across ~90 sites. Clinical trial information: NCT04527991.

Esophagogastric Cancer

Purpose Metastatic esophagogastric cancer treatments after failure of second-line chemotherapy are limited. Nivolumab demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) versus placebo in Asian patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers. We assessed the safety and efficacy of nivolumab and nivolumab plus ipilimumab in Western patients with chemotherapy-refractory esophagogastric cancers. Patients and Methods Patients with locally advanced or metastatic chemotherapy–refractory gastric, esophageal, or gastroesophageal junction cancer from centers in the United States and Europe received nivolumab or nivolumab plus ipilimumab. The primary end point was objective response rate. The association of tumor programmed death-ligand 1 status with response and survival was also evaluated. Results Of 160 treated patients (59 with nivolumab 3 mg/kg, 49 with nivolumab 1 mg/kg plus ipilimumab 3 mg/kg, 52 with nivolumab 3 mg/kg plus ipilimumab 1 mg/kg), 79% had received two or more prior therapies. At the data cutoff, investigator-assessed objective response rates were 12% (95% CI, 5% to 23%), 24% (95% CI, 13% to 39%), and 8% (95% CI, 2% to 19%) in the three groups, respectively. Responses were observed regardless of tumor programmed death-ligand 1 status. With a median follow-up of 28, 24, and 22 months across the three groups, 12-month progression-free survival rates were 8%, 17%, and 10%, respectively; 12-month OS rates were 39%, 35%, and 24%, respectively. Treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse events were reported in 17%, 47%, and 27% of patients in the three groups, respectively. Conclusion Nivolumab and nivolumab plus ipilimumab demonstrated clinically meaningful antitumor activity, durable responses, encouraging long-term OS, and a manageable safety profile in patients with chemotherapy-refractory esophagogastric cancer. Phase III studies evaluating nivolumab or nivolumab plus ipilimumab in earlier lines of therapy for esophagogastric cancers are underway.

3575 Background: The literature reports that adding biologics to chemotherapy (ctx) may increase the incidence of clinically significant neutropenia. his trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of PEG in reducing the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) in pts with locally-advanced (LA) or metastatic (m)CRC receiving first-line treatment with either FOLFOX/B or FOLFIRI/B. Methods: Key eligibility: ≥ 18 years old; measurable, nonresectable CRC per RECIST 1.1. Pts were randomly assigned 1:1 to either placebo or 6 mg PEG ~24 h after ctx/B. The study treatment period included four Q2W cycles, but pts could continue their assigned regimen until progression. Pts were stratified by region (North America vs rest of world), stage (LA vs mCRC), and ctx (FOLFOX vs FOLFIRI). Estimated sample size (N = 800) was based on the expected incidence of grade 3/4 FN (primary endpoint) across the first 4 cycles of ctx/B, powered for PEG superiority over placebo. Other endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: 845 pts were randomized (Nov 2009 to Jan 2012) and received study treatment; 783 pts completed 4 cycles of ctx/B. Median age was 61 years; 512 (61%) pts were male; 819 (97%) had mCRC; 414 (49%) received FOLFOX, and 431 (51%) received FOLFIRI. Grade 3/4 FN (first 4 cycles) for placebo vs PEG was 5.7% vs 2.4%; OR 0.41; p = 0.014. A similar incidence of other ≥ grade 3 adverse events was seen in both arms (28% placebo; 27% PEG). See table for additional results. Conclusions: PEG significantly reduced the incidence of grade 3/4 FN in this pt population receiving standard ctx/B for CRC. Follow-up is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT00911170. [Table: see text]
