5032 Background: EPI-506 (ralaniten acetate) is a first-in-class small molecule transcription inhibitor of the AR NTD. Nonclinical studies demonstrated activity against both full length and resistance-related AR species, including AR-v7. Methods: Open-label, single-arm, Phase 1/2 study evaluating EPI-506 administered orally once-daily. The Phase 1 is a 3+3 design to establish the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and recommended phase 2 dose of EPI-506. Anti-tumor activity is also evaluated. Inclusion criteria included: mCRPC with progression after ≥1 line of hormonal therapy or chemotherapy, and progression on enzalutamide and/or abiraterone. Results: Eighteen patients (pts) have been enrolled in the dose escalation phase over 5 dose levels (80, 160, 320, 640, 1280 mg). Median age was 71 (range 58-87). Prior treatments included enzalutamide only (N = 7), abiraterone only (N = 2) or both (N = 9). Six pts have had prior chemotherapy. Seven pts have discontinued due to disease progression and 2 pts due to adverse events (AEs): Grade 4 elevated amylase (related) and Grade 4 gastrointestinal bleeding (unrelated). Median exposure was 98.5 days (range 26-338). Most frequently reported treatment emergent AEs were diarrhea (N = 7), nausea (N = 5) and fatigue (N = 3). One Grade 3 AE (AST elevation) at 1280 mg and one Grade 4 AE (increased amylase) at 640 mg were reported. PK data demonstrate a dose-proportional profile for Cmax and AUC coupled with an initial negative food effect up to 640 mg. At week 4 of continuous dosing, 3 of 18 evaluable pts demonstrated PSA declines ranging from 9 to 18% receiving doses ≥640 mg. Conclusions: EPI-506 is well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile. PK indicates dose-proportionality. PSA declines have been observed at doses associated with sub-therapeutic exposure in preclinical studies. This study is the first to evaluate targeting the AR NTD, a region critical for transcriptional function of all known AR species. Clinical trial information: NCT02606123.

79 Background: ModraDoc006 is a novel formulation of docetaxel and to enhance bioavailability, this tablet is co-administered with ritonavir (r), an inhibitor of cytochrome p450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein. The safety, anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ModraDoc006/r were investigated by dose-escalation in patients with mCRPC, to propose a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Methods: Progressive mCRPC patients, who were treatment naïve or previously treated with either abiraterone or enzalutamide, received a maximum of 30 weekly cycles of ModraDoc006/r in a bi-daily once weekly (BIDW) schedule. Plasma docetaxel concentrations were determined at the first 2 cycles up to 48h after intake of ModraDoc006/r. Adverse events were evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels were assessed every 6 weeks. Results: 23 patients were included, of whom 20 were evaluable for safety and PK. In 5 patients, the initial 30-20/100-100 dose was explored, with observation of one dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (grade 3 alanine aminotransferase increase). The next dose level of 30-20/200-200 resulted in 2 DLTs in 6 patients (grade 3 diarrhea and mucositis). Subsequently, two intermediate dose levels: 30-20/200-100 and 20-20/200-100 were explored in 6 and 3 patients. At the 30-20/200-100 dose, an adequate docetaxel exposure was achieved and 1 DLT (grade 3 diarrhea) was observed, with no DLTs at the 20-20/200-100 dose. Common treatment-related AEs (occurring in > 30% of all patients) were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and fatigue. Five patients completed the maximum of 30 weekly treatments. In 10 patients, evaluable for anti-tumor activity after treatment with ≥9 cycles, 4 confirmed and 2 non-confirmed PSA responses ( > 50% decrease) were observed. Conclusions: The RP2D of BIDW ModraDoc006/r in mCRPC was established as 30-20/200-100 mg. These results are encouraging for further development of ModraDoc006/r as a convenient, safe and effective alternative to IV docetaxel for mCRPC patients. A phase 2b study is currently being conducted. Clinical trial information: NCT03136640.

207 Background: Angiogenesis may be vital to mCRPC. Previously, we had shown the potent anti−tumor activity of dual antiangiogenic therapy by combining thalidomide (T) and bevacizumab (B) with docetaxel (D) and prednisone (P) in mCRPC (Ning JCO 2010). We hypothesized that combining lenalidomide (L), an analogue of T, with B, D, and P would have a more favorable efficacy/toxicity profile. Methods: All patients (pts) had chemotherapy−naïve mCRPC. 3 pts received R 15 mg daily, 3 pts had 20 mg daily, and the rest had 25 mg daily for 14 days of every 21−day cycle (C). All pts received D 75 mg/m2 and B 15 mg/kg on day 1 with P 10 mg and enoxaparin daily throughout each C. Pegfilgrastim was given on day 2. PSA was assayed each C with imaging after C2 and then after every 3C. Results: 47 of the planned 51 pts have been enrolled. Median age was 66 (51−82), Gleason score 8 (5−10), on−study PSA 91.6 ng/ml (0.15−3520), pre−study PSA doubling time 1.43 months (0.52−6.73), number of Cs 14 (1−31), and PFS was 19.3 months as of this analysis. Among 45 pts who have completed ≥2 cycles, 39 (86.7%) and 30 (66.7%) had PSA declines of ≥50% and ≥75%, respectively. Of 29 pts with measurable disease there were 2 CR, 21 PR, and 6 SD (79.3% overall RR). 10/47 pts were taken off study for radiographic disease progression and 5/47 for other reasons. Grade ≥3 toxicities included neutropenia (24/47), anemia (9/47), thrombocytopenia (5/47), weight loss (1/47), hypertension (3/47), and febrile neutropenia (4/47). Other toxicities included perianal fistula (3/47), rectal fissure (1/47), myocardial infarction (1/47), and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) (16/47, 34.0%). At the time of diagnosis of ONJ, 9/16 pts were on bisphosphonates and 3/16 had used bisphosphonates previously. Although the incidence of ONJ was higher than the 18.3% reported by Ning, a recent study of carboplatin plus weekly docetaxel reported an incidence of 29.3%. Conclusions: Dual antiangiogenic therapy with, B and L, plus D and P was associated with high PSA (86.7%) and tumor (79.3%) responses with manageable toxicities. Further studies are underway to explore the high incidence of ONJ.

358 Background: Nivo (anti–PD-1) has shown durable responses and manageable safety (ORR, 19.6%; grade 3‒4 treatment-related AEs [TRAEs], 18%) in advBC (Sharma et al. Lancet Oncol 2017), but prolonging survival in more pts requires additional approaches to overcome tumor evasion mechanisms. IDO1 allows tumor escape through kynurenine (KYN) production, which stimulates regulatory T cells and suppresses effector T-cell proliferation. Anti─PD-1 can upregulate IDO1, supporting the rationale for combining nivo with an IDO1i. BMS-986205 is a selective, potent, once-daily (QD) oral IDO1i that works early in the IDO1 pathway to reduce KYN production. BMS-986205 + nivo showed favorable safety and efficacy in heavily pretreated pts with select solid tumors (Luke et al. SITC 2017; NCT02658890). Updated safety across all tumor cohorts and efficacy in the immuno-oncology (I-O)–naive advBC cohort are reported. Methods: Dose-escalation methods in this phase 1/2a, open-label study were previously described; during expansion, pts received BMS-986205 100 or 200 mg QD + nivo 240 mg IV Q2W or 480 mg IV Q4W. Objectives included safety and ORR by RECIST v1.1 (includes unconfirmed responses). Results: As of Mar 2018, 516 pts received BMS-986205 + nivo; 45% had ≥2 prior regimens. TRAEs occurred in 57% of pts (grade 3‒4, 12%), the most common being fatigue (15%) and nausea (12%); 19 pts (4%) discontinued due to TRAEs, and 3 pts ( < 1%) died due to a TRAE (myocarditis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and hepatic failure). In all treated pts and within the advBC cohort (n = 30), the frequency and severity of TRAEs and rate of discontinuation due to TRAEs was lower with the 100- vs 200-mg BMS-986205 dose. Among the 27 pts with I-O–naive advBC, with a median duration of follow-up of 24 wk, ORR was 37% (3 CRs, 7 PRs), and the DCR was 56%; ORR in pts with tumor PD-L1 ≥1% (Dako PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx assay; n = 14) vs < 1% (n = 10) was 50% vs 30%. Conclusions: BMS-986205 + nivo was well tolerated in heavily pretreated pts, and tolerability was improved with the 100-mg BMS-986205 dose. Preliminary evidence of efficacy was observed in advBC, supporting further evaluation of BMS-986205 + nivo. Clinical trial information: NCT02658890.

250 Background: Mechanisms of resistance to docetaxel (D) are not fully understood. Preclinical work showed that administration of temsirolimus (T) between courses of D delays the growth of PTEN deficient tumors in xenografts. (Wu et al. Cancer Res 2005) The current study aims to determine the recommended phase II dose (RPTD), toxicity, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary activity of D in combination with T in CRPC patients (pts). Methods: Pts aged ≥ 18 with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard therapy, ECOG ≤2, adequate bone marrow and renal function were eligible. D was given once q. 3 weeks along with T on days 2, 9 &16. The protocol was later amended and day 9 of T omitted due to excessive myelotoxicity. A 3+3 rule dose escalation was used with the next dose levels (DL) planned: DL1: D 50mg/m2, T 15 mg; DL2: D 65mg/m2, T 15 mg; DL3: D 75mg/m2, T 15 mg; DL4: D 75mg/m2, T 25 mg. An expanded cohort for pts with CRPC who have progressed to D will enroll pts once the RPTD has been defined. Results: To date 13 pts have been enrolled, median age = 65 (range 35–76), 9 male and 8 ECOG 0, Forty-seven cycles (median: 2; range: 1–9) were administered. The most frequent related adverse events (AEs) of all grades expressed as % of cycles were: leucopenia (80.8%), hyperglycemia (70.2%), anemia (68.1%) and hypercholesterolemia (65.9%). The most common Grade 3–4 AEs as % of cycles were: leucopenia (27.6%), neutropenia (29.7%), and hypophosphatemia (23%). Two pts in DL2 experienced dose limiting toxicities (DLT) consisting of intolerable grade 2 mucositis and febrile neutropenia respectively. DL1 was expanded and 3 additional pts treated with no DLTs. No drug-drug PK interactions were observed. Among 13 pts evaluable for response, 6 (2 pancreas, 2 CRPC, 1 rectal and 1 sarcoma) achieved stable disease. One pt with CRPC who had previously progressed on docetaxel received 9 cycles of treatment with sustained clinical benefit. The expanded cohort for CRPC patients is opened and recruiting. Conclusions: T and D can be safely combined at reduced doses of both agents with no PK interaction. Preliminary antitumor activity has been observed in CRPC patients. Data on the expanded cohort will be presented.
