Purpose To evaluate MK-8242 in patients with wild-type TP53 advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods MK-8242 was administered orally twice a day on days 1 to 7 in 21-day cycles. The recommended phase II dose (RP2D) was determined on the basis of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and by mRNA expression of the p53 target gene pleckstrin homology-like domain, family A, member 3 ( PHLDA3). Other objectives were to characterize the PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) relationship, correlate biomarkers with response, and assess tumor response. Results Forty-seven patients received MK-8242 across eight doses that ranged from 60 to 500 mg. Initially, six patients developed dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs): grade (G) 2 nausea at 120 mg; G3 fatigue at 250 mg; G2 nausea and G4 thrombocytopenia at 350 mg; and G3 vomiting and G3 diarrhea at 500 mg. DLT criteria were revised to permit management of GI toxicities. Dosing was resumed at 400 mg, and four additional DLTs were observed: G4 neutropenia and G4 thrombocytopenia at 400 mg and G4 thrombocytopenia (two patients) at 500 mg. Other drug-related G3 and G4 events included anemia, leukopenia, pancytopenia, nausea, hyperbilirubinemia, hypophosphatemia, and anorexia. On the basis of safety, tolerability, PK, and PD, the RP2D was established at 400 mg (15 evaluable patients experienced two DLTs). PK for 400 mg (day 7) showed Cmax 3.07 μM, Tmax 3.0 hours, t1/2 (half-life) 6.6 hours, CL/F (apparent clearance) 28.9 L/h, and Vd/F (apparent volume) 274 L. Blood PHLDA3 mRNA expression correlated with drug exposure ( R2 = 0.68; P < .001). In 41 patients with postbaseline scans, three patients with liposarcoma achieved a partial response (at 250, 400, and 500 mg), 31 showed stable disease, and eight had progressive disease. In total, 27 patients with liposarcoma had a median progression-free survival of 237 days. Conclusion At the RP2D of 400 mg twice a day, MK-8242 activated the p53 pathway with an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. The observed clinical activity (partial response and prolonged progression-free survival) provides an impetus for further study of HDM2 inhibitors in liposarcoma.

Purpose To evaluate the safety and maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly patupilone, a natural epothilone B, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods Patients were treated with patupilone (0.3 to 3.6 mg/m2) for 6 weeks on/3 weeks off or 3 weeks on/1 week off. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), MTD, and pharmacokinetics were determined for each schedule of administration. Results Ninety-one patients were enrolled. The most common tumor types included ovarian, breast, and colon cancers. Doses of patupilone less than 2.5 mg/m2 using either the 6 weeks on/3 weeks off or the 3 weeks on/1 week off schedule were tolerated well. At higher doses, DLTs were observed using both dosing schedules, with diarrhea the most common DLT. The MTD for both treatment schedules was 2.5 mg/m2. After a short infusion, patupilone blood concentrations declined in a multiphasic manner with a terminal half-life of 4 days. Drug clearance was nonrenal and was not related to body-surface area. Over the dose range evaluated, systemic drug exposure was approximately dose proportional. Three patients achieved a partial response, and 31 patients had stable disease. Two patients experiencing a partial response had received prior taxane therapy. Conclusion Patupilone is well tolerated when administered at a dose of 2.5 mg/m2, using either a 6 weeks on/3 weeks off or a 3 weeks on/1 week off schedule. In contrast with murine studies, patupilone has a relatively prolonged terminal half-life in humans. The partial responses in patients previously treated with taxanes is consistent with promising preclinical results.

Purpose CD27, a costimulatory molecule on T cells, induces intracellular signals that mediate cellular activation, proliferation, effector function, and cell survival upon binding to its ligand, CD70. Varlilumab is a novel, first-in-class, agonist CD27 antibody that stimulates the CD27 pathway, which results in T-cell activation and antitumor activity in tumor models. This first-in-human, dose-escalation and expansion study evaluated the safety, pharmacology, and activity of varlilumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods In a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design (n = 25), patients received a single dose of varlilumab (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, or 10 mg/kg intravenously) with a 28-day observation, followed by up to five multidose cycles (one dose per week for 4 weeks), depending on tumor response. Expansion cohorts were initiated at 3.0 mg/kg in patients with melanoma (n = 16) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC; n = 15). Primary objectives were to assess the safety and the maximum tolerated and optimal biologic doses of varlilumab. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical antitumor activity of varlilumab. Results Exposure to varlilumab was linear and dose proportional across dose groups. Only one patient experienced a dose-limiting toxicity—grade 3 transient asymptomatic hyponatremia at the 1.0-mg/kg dose level. Treatment-related adverse events were generally grade 1 or 2 in severity. Evidence of biologic activity consistent with CD27 stimulation—chemokine induction, T-cell stimulation, regulatory T cell depletion—was observed at all dose levels. A patient with metastatic RCC experienced a partial response (78% shrinkage, progression-free survival > 2.3 years). Eight patients experienced stable disease > 3 months, including a patient with metastatic RCC with progression-free survival of > 3.9 years. Conclusion Dose escalation of varlilumab to 10 mg/kg was well tolerated without identification of a maximum tolerated dose. Varlilumab was biologically and clinically active.

11036 Background: Src inhibition may augment sensitivity to chemotherapy, but in unselected patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors, src inhibitors have shown limited clinical activity. Biomarkers to predict benefit from src inhibitors in advanced solid tumors are not yet known. Methods: 22 pts (dose escalation cohort= 12 pts; colorectal cancer [CRC] expansion cohort= 10 pts) were enrolled in a phase I study to determine the safety and tolerability of the src inhibitor dasatinib with capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab (J Clin Oncol 29: 2011 [suppl; abstr 3586]). Src activation (src-a) was assessed in tumors from 16 evaluable pts. Src-a was measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples using an antibody that selectively recognizes the active conformation of src (clone 28). A GI pathologist who was blinded to pt outcomes graded membranous src-a using a standard semi-quantitative method. The endpoint of this exploratory analysis was objective response rate ([ORR]= PR+CR). 2-sided Fisher’s Exact test was used to evaluate the association between ORR and src-a. Results: Across all tumor types, 8 tumors had no/faint src-a (IHC=0/1); 8 tumors had moderate/strong src-a (IHC≥2). Benign colonic epithelium had no src-a (IHC=0). The ORR was 75% (6/8) for pts with moderate/strong src-a versus (vs) 0% (0/8) for pts with no/faint src-a (p =0.007). In the CRC expansion cohort, the ORR was 83% (5/6) for patients with moderate/strong src-a vs 0% (0/2) for pts with no/faint src-a (p=0.107); progression free survival range was 7.9-24.4 months for pts with moderate/strong src-a. Conclusions: In this small phase I study, src-a is associated with benefit from the combination of dasatinib and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Further evaluation of dasatinib in patients whose tumors demonstrate high levels of src-a may be warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT00920868.

9065 Background: Cediranib, a pan-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, suppresses expression of BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51 and increases sensitivity of tumors to poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in vitro. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors carrying a germline BRCA mutation. We therefore tested the anti-tumor activity of cediranib and olaparib combination in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Here, we report the data from the SCLC cohort. Methods: This multi-institutional, two-stage, phase 2 study enrolled pts with metastatic SCLC previously treated with a minimum of one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced setting. Patients were treated with cediranib 30mg po daily plus olaparib 200mg po BID until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1. Baseline tumor biopsies were obtained for biomarker analyses. Results: Baseline characteristics of the 25 pts enrolled are summarized below. The overall ORR rate was 28% (95% CI: 0.104,0.456). Median duration of response was 3.8 months (mos). Six of 8 pts had an objective response lasting longer than 3 mos up to 10.3 months. Disease control rate (# of pts with CR, PR or SD / # evaluable pts) was 88% (95% CI: 0.75,1.01). Median progression free survival was 4.1 mos (95% CI: 2.3, 6.2). Median OS was 5.5 mos (95% CI: 3.4, NA). Grade 3/4 adverse events (G3/4 AEs), irrespective of attribution, occurred in 14 of 25 (56%). G3/4 AEs occurring in > 10% of pts were hypertension (21%), fatigue (17%) and weight loss (13%). Conclusions: The cediranib/olaparib combination resulted in promising clinical activity with ORR of 28% in biomarker-unselected pts with platinum-pretreated SCLC. The regimen required prompt initiation of antihypertensives, but AEs were overall manageable. Analyses of mutation status in homologous recombination DNA repair genes are going and will be correlated with clinical activity. Clinical trial information: NCT02498613. [Table: see text]

AbstractLarotrectinib and entrectinib are highly selective, potent tropomyosin receptor kinase fusion inhibitors. It is U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of adult and pediatric advanced solid tumors with neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase fusion genes who are refractory to standard systemic therapy. The response rate was ~80% and was rapid and durable. The median progression-free survival was 28 months. The side effects include anemia, weight gain, hepatotoxicity, and neuropsychiatric manifestations. Phase 3, randomized controlled trials are warranted to assess survival benefit.

3640 Background: LTT462 is an investigational small molecule inhibitor of ERK1/2, which has demonstrated preclinical activity in multiple MAPK activated cancer cells and xenograft models. This first-in-human study was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LTT462 in advanced solid tumors harboring MAPK pathway alterations (NCT02711345). Methods: The dose-escalation part of this Phase I, open-label study, enrolled adult and adolescent pts with advanced solid tumors harboring ≥1 documented MAPK pathway alteration with progressive disease (PD) despite standard therapy, or for whom there is no effective standard treatment. Oral LTT462 was given once daily (QD) at 45–600 mg or twice daily (BID) at 150 mg or 200 mg. Objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using a Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression model guided by escalation with overdose control, and characterize safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of LTT462. Results: Sixty-five pts (median age 60 years) including 1 pt aged 15 were enrolled in the dose-escalation; most pts (22%) had 3 prior therapies. Most common primary sites for cancer were in the colon (n = 21; 32%), ovary (n = 9; 14%), and pancreas (n = 7; 11%). All pts discontinued, the majority due to PD (n = 44; 68%). Eleven pts experienced DLTs; 6 pts experienced Grade 3 eye disorder DLTs (4 pts retinopathy, 2 pts chorioretinopathy). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported for 89% of pts, most commonly ( > 30%) diarrhea (n = 25; 38%) and nausea (n = 22; 34%). Grade 3/4 TRAEs were reported in 29% of pts; most common was retinopathy (n = 4; 6%). MTD of LTT462 was 400 mg QD and 150 mg BID. Overall, 8 pts (12%) had stable disease (SD) and 35 pts (54%) had PD. An unconfirmed partial response was reported in a pt with cholangiocarcinoma with BRAF mutation; best change in sum of target lesions per RECIST 1.1 was -33.9%. LTT462 increased plasma peak drug concentration and drug exposure at increasing doses between 45–450 mg QD. Exposure at LTT462 600 mg QD was lower than anticipated, indicating potential saturation of absorption at this dose. LTT462 inhibited ERK1/2 and reduced DUSP6 expression relative to baseline in most pts evaluated. Conclusions: LTT462 is well tolerated. Limited clinical activity was reported with single agent LTT462; best overall response was SD. An ongoing study is investigating LTT462 in combination with the RAF inhibitor, LXH254, in NSCLC and melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT02711345 .

Abstract Background While the introduction of checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) as standard of care treatment for various tumor types has led to considerable improvements in clinical outcome, the majority of patients still fail to respond. Preclinical data suggest that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) could work synergistically with CPIs by acting as an in situ cancer vaccine, thus potentially increasing response rates and prolonging disease control. Though SBRT administered concurrently with CPIs has been shown to be safe, evidence of its efficacy from large randomized trials is still lacking. The aim of this multicenter randomized phase II trial is to assess whether SBRT administered concurrently with CPIs could prolong progression-free survival as compared to standard of care in patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods/design Ninety-eight patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to receive CPI treatment combined with SBRT (Arm A) or CPI monotherapy (Arm B). Randomization will be stratified according to tumor histology (melanoma, renal, urothelial, head and neck squamous cell or non-small cell lung carcinoma) and disease burden (≤ or > 3 cancer lesions). The recommended SBRT dose is 24Gy in 3 fractions, which will be administered to a maximum of 3 lesions and is to be completed prior to the second or third CPI cycle (depending on CPI treatment schedule). The study’s primary endpoint is progression-free survival as per iRECIST. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, objective response, local control, quality of life and toxicity. Translational analyses will be performed using blood, fecal and tissue samples. Discussion: The CHEERS trial will provide further insights into the clinical and immunological impact of SBRT when combined with CPIs in patients with advanced solid tumors. Furthermore, study results will inform the design of future immuno-radiotherapy trials. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03511391. Registered 17 April 2018.
