3006 Background: M7824 (MSB0011359C) is a novel bifunctional fusion protein comprised of a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) fused to the soluble extracellular domain of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor II, which acts as a TGF-β trap. We report preliminary data from a phase 1 trial of M7824 in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Methods: NCT02517398 is a phase 1, open-label, 3+3 dose-escalation study. Eligible pts receive M7824 at 1, 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg Q2W until confirmed progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal; treatment beyond progression is generally allowable. The primary objective is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of M7824; secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and best overall response per RECIST v1.1. Results: 16 heavily pretreated pts with ECOG performance status 0-1 have received M7824. Our PK data show a dose-linear increase in exposure starting at a dose of 3 mg/kg; furthermore, M7824 saturates peripheral PD-L1 and sequesters any released plasma TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3 throughout the dosing period in a dose-dependent manner. Grade 3 drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 3 pts (skin infection secondary to grade 2 bullous pemphigoid [BP], lipase increased, and colitis with associated anemia); there were no grade 4-5 drug-related TEAEs. BP and colitis responded well to steroids. Colitis and its secondary events of anemia and rectal hemorrhage (in a previously radiated area) were considered dose limiting in 1 pt. There was preliminary evidence of efficacy across all dose levels, including 1 ongoing confirmed complete response (cervical), 1 durable partial response (pancreatic), a 25% reduction in the sum of diameters of target lesions after 2 doses of M7824 (cervical), and 2 cases of prolonged stable disease (pancreatic; carcinoid). Conclusions: Preliminary data from this phase 1 dose-escalation study suggest that M7824 has a manageable safety profile in pts with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors. Early signs of clinical efficacy warrant further study. Clinical trial information: NCT02517398.

762 Background: Inhibiting the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) pathway, which plays a key role in tumor immunosuppression, may enhance the response to programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). M7824 (MSB0011359C) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of a mAb against PD-L1 fused with the extracellular domain of TGF-β receptor II, which serves as a TGF-β “trap.” We report results in Asian patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Methods: NCT02699515 is a phase 1, open-label, 3 + 3 dose-escalation study. Pts receive M7824 at 3, 10 or 20 mg/kg q2w until confirmed progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity or trial withdrawal. The primary objective is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD); secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity and best overall response per RECIST v1.1. Results: As of 28 February 2017, 14 heavily pretreated pts (85.7% received ≥3 prior therapies) received M7824 for a median duration of 5.9 weeks (range: 2-40 weeks). Grade (gr) ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 3 pts (21.4%): 1 pt (3 mg/kg) had gr 4 hyponatremia and gr 3 hypopituitarism; 1 pt (20 mg/kg) had gr 3 intracranial tumor hemorrhage (dose-limiting toxicity; treatment discontinued [TD]); 1 pt (20 mg/kg) had gr 3 increased blood creatine phosphokinase, hyponatremia and hypoacusis (TD). PK data showed a dose-linear increase in exposure. Signs of efficacy were seen across all dose levels: 2 pts (colorectal cancer [CRC] associated with Lynch syndrome [3 mg/kg] and ovarian cancer [20 mg/kg]) achieved a confirmed partial response (PR) and 3 pts (gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer [3 mg/kg], gastric cancer [3 mg/kg] and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tongue [10 mg/kg]) achieved stable disease. Durations of response were 1.1+ months (ovarian; PR occurred after TD, with no further anticancer therapy) and 7.0+ months (CRC; treatment ongoing); both PRs were ongoing beyond the data cutoff. Conclusions: M7824 had a manageable safety profile in Asian pts with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors; the MTD was not reached. Early signs of clinical efficacy are encouraging. Clinical trial information: NCT02699515.

2580 Background: YH003, a recombinant, humanized agonistic anti-CD40 IgG2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) specifically recognizes and agonizes CD40 on the antigen-presenting cells to enhance immune responses. Preclinical data have shown potent anti-cancer activity when combined with anti-PD-1 antibodies. Methods: This is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study. Patients with advanced solid tumors receive YH003 by IV administration Q3W as monotherapy at 0.03 to 3.0 mg/kg for the first cycle (21 days) then in combination with Toripalimab at 240 mg Q3W for the 4 subsequent cycles in an accelerated “3+3” design. The safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy data will be analyzed. Results: As of 31 Dec 2020 data cutoff, 9 patients (pts) were enrolled and treated at 0.03 mg/kg (n = 3), 0.1mg/kg (n = 3), and 0.3mg/kg (n = 3). The median age was 63 years (range 33-68). Baseline ECOG scores were 0 (7 pts) and 1 (2 pts) with a median of 2 prior lines therapy (range 1-7). 5 pts had received prior immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-1+CTLA-4). As of data cutoff, no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were observed. No Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were reported. Four drug related AEs were reported including one Grade 1 (G1) choroidal thickening (related to YH003) at 0.03 mg/kg, one G1 fatigue (related to YH003) at 0.1 mg/kg, two G1 febrile episodes (one related to YH003 and the other related to combination treatment) at 0.3 mg/kg. Among 5 patients assessable for response, there were 2 SD (one with anti-PDL1 refractory Merkel cell carcinoma at 0.03 mg/kg and one with anti-PD1 refractory NSCLC at 0.1 mg/kg) and 1 PR with anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 refractory ocular melanoma at 0.1 mg/kg. Conclusions: YH003 was well tolerated up to 0.3 mg/kg dose levels when combined with Toripalimab and has shown encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT04481009.

e15001 Background: Interim safety and PD data from an ongoing first-in-human, multi-center, open-label dose escalation study of XmAb20717 (XmAb20717-01; NCT03517488) are reported here. The primary objectives were to determine safety, tolerability, and the MTD and/or recommended doses (RDs). Secondary objectives included preliminary anti-tumor activity and PK/PD. Methods: A 3+3 dose escalation design was used to establish an MTD/RD(s) for infusions on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. DLT evaluation was based on Cycle 1 through Day 28. Patients with selected solid tumors (in indications both with and without approved checkpoint therapy) who have exhausted standard of care are eligible. Results: As of 05FEB 2020, 34 patients were treated in cohorts 1-6 at fixed doses of 0.15 to 10 mg/kg. Patients had a median age of 57 years (range 32-81), a median time since initial diagnosis of 42 months (range 3 -313), and a median of 4 prior systemic therapies (range 0-9). 68% of patients had a TNM stage of III/IV, and 68% had been exposed to checkpoint therapy. XmAb20717 treatment was generally well tolerated through the highest dose cohort tested. Overall rates of Gr3/4 immune-related AEs occurred in 8 (24%) patients including elevations of transaminases 3 (9%), rash 2 (6%), lipase and amylase 1 (3%, without clinical symptoms or radiographic evidence of pancreatitis), lipase (alone) 1 (3%), pruritus 1 (3%), hyperglycaemia 1 (3%), arthritis 1 (3%) and colitis 1 (3%), all reversible. Responses were evaluated based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, and there was 1 CR reported (melanoma, progressed on prior pembrolizumab) at 10 mg/kg (highest dose level). Dose-dependent pharmacodynamic activity consistent with dual PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade was noted, namely a proliferative burst of both CD8 and CD4 T cells and induction of IFN-inducible chemokines (Table). Conclusions: XmAb20717 is generally safe and has demonstrated PD activity in heavily pretreated patients with selected advanced solid tumors. Dose escalation continues. Clinical trial information: NCT03517488 . [Table: see text]

Abstract BackgroundPreclinical studies have supported a potential synergistic antitumor activity between surufatinib and anti-programed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). We describe here the results of a single-arm, open-label phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with advanced solid tumors treated with surufatinib combined with toripalimab, an inhibitor of PD-L1.MethodsThis is an open-label, dose escalation and expansion study in patients with solid tumors who had failed standard therapies or had no effective treatment. In the dose escalation stage, 3 cohorts of patients were treated with surufatinib, at dose levels of 200, 250, or 300 mg once daily (QD) in combination with a fixed dose of toripalimab 240 mg, every 3 weeks (Q3W), to evaluate maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Additional patients were enrolled in the dose expansion phase to further assess the efficacy, safety, and PK profile.ResultsFrom April 1, 2019 to July 10, 2020, 31 patients were screened, of which 28 patients were enrolled. One patient in the 300 mg cohort experienced dose limited toxicity (DLT), a grade 3 hyperthyroidism. The top 3 most common treatment-related adverse events of ≥ grade 3 were transaminases increased (17.9%), hypertension (14.3%) and blood bilirubin increased (10.7%). No treatment-related death or treatment discontinuation was identified. The RP2D was determined to be surufatinib 250 mg QD plus toripalimab 240 mg Q3W. Overall objective response rate was 22.2% [95% confidential interval (CI) 8.6‒42.3], and disease control rate reached 81.5% (95% CI 61.9‒93.7). ConclusionsSurufatinib plus toripalimab was well-tolerated, with no unexpected safety signals, and showed promising antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.
