e20001 Background: Napabucasin is a first-in-class cancer stemness inhibitor, identified by its ability to inhibit STAT3-driven gene transcription and spherogenesis of cancer stem cells (Li et al PNAS 112 (6):1839, 2015). Synergistic anti-tumor activity of napabucasin plus paclitaxel was observed in pre-clinical and early clinical testing. The STAT3 pathway is considered important in thymic carcinoma and thymoma, rare cancers with few treatment options. In 1st line, the objective response rate (ORR, partial response [PR] + complete response [CR] per RECIST) with carboplatin-paclitaxel was 22% in thymic carcinoma and 43% in thymoma (Gemma, 2011). A phase 1b cohort was established to evaluate safety and preliminary signs of activity of napabucasin plus paclitaxel in these patients (pts). Methods: Pts with previously-treated advanced thymoma or thymic carcinoma were enrolled with napabucasin (240 - 480 mg orally twice daily) plus paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 IV weekly for 3 of every 4 weeks). Adverse events were evaluated using CTCAE v4.03 and tumor assessments were obtained every 8 wks per RECIST 1.1. Results: A total of 9 pts (thymic carcinoma = 5, thymoma = 4) with a median 3 prior lines of systemic therapy were enrolled. In thymic carcinoma, the starting napabucasin dose was 480 mg BID (n = 2), and 240 mg BID (n = 3). Treatment was well tolerated and 1 pt required dose-reduction. There were no grade 3 AEs reported. As of data cut-off, 3 pts are off-study with progression and 2 remain on treatment. PRs were observed in 4 of 5 pts (ORR = 80%) and the median time on treatment is > 7.0 mo. In thymoma, 4 pts received napabucasin 240 mg BID. AEs included grade 3 diarrhea and dehydration in 1 pt. As of data cut-off, 1 pt was off-study with progression, 2 died (perforated bowel; autoimmune myocarditis secondary to Issac’s syndrome), and 1 pt remains on treatment. PR was observed in 1 pt (ORR 25%). Conclusions: Napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel has demonstrated clinical safety and encouraging signs of anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced thymic carcinoma and thymoma. Further clinical evaluation of the combination regimen is warranted in this population. Clinical trial information: NCT01325441.

Anti Tumor Activity

9553 Background: Napabucasin is a first-in-class cancer stemness inhibitor, identified by its ability to inhibit STAT3-driven gene transcription and spherogenesis of cancer stem cells (Li et al PNAS 112 (6):1839, 2015). Synergistic anti-tumor activity with paclitaxel was observed in pre-clinical testing, and a favorable clinical safety profile was established in a phase I/II trial in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. A phase 1b trial was established to evaluate the safety and preliminary signs of anti-cancer activity of the combination regimen in pts with advanced melanoma. Methods: Pts with melanoma were enrolled after failure of standard therapies for advanced disease. Napabucasin 480 or 500 mg orally twice daily was administered with paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 IV weekly for 3 of every 4 weeks. Adverse events were evaluated using CTCAE v4.03 and objective tumor assessments were obtained every 8 weeks and evaluated per RECIST 1.1 criteria. Results: A total of 12 pts with advanced melanoma were enrolled after a median 3 prior lines of therapy (including immune checkpoint inhibitors, BRAF-inhibitor if presence of BRAF V600E mutation). Protocol therapy was well tolerated with grade 3 AEs including diarrhea (n = 3), abdominal pain (n = 1), and fatigue (n = 1). Partial response (PR) was observed in 1 pt. Stable disease of at least 24 weeks or more was achieved by 33% of patients (n = 4) and the median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 3.7 months. Prolonged survival of 1 year or more was achieved by 33% of pts (n = 4), with a median overall survival (mOS) of 10.4 months. Conclusions: Napabucasin plus weekly paclitaxel has shown clinical safety and encouraging anti-tumor activity in a cohort of pts with previously treated advanced melanoma. The RP2D in combination with weekly paclitaxel was established to 480 mg orally bid. The data suggest that targeting stemness pathways with napabucasin may be a novel therapeutic strategy for melanoma. Clinical trial information: NCT01325441.

11565 Background: TAPUR is a phase II basket study evaluating anti-tumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in pts with advanced cancers with genomic alterations. Results in a cohort of STS pts with CDK4 amplification treated with P are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced STS, no standard treatment options, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-2, and adequate organ function. Genomic testing was performed in CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited site selected labs. Pts received P at 125 mg orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days off until disease progression. Pts matched to P had CDK4 amplification and no RB mutations. Simon 2-stage design tested the null disease control (DC) - defined as partial (PR), complete response (CR) or stable disease at 16+ weeks (SD 16+) - rate of 15% vs. 35% (power = 0.85; α = 0.10). If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have DC, 18 more pts are enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the null DC rate is rejected. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: 29 pts (66% male) with STS with CDK4 amplification were enrolled from July 2016 to Nov 2019. 1 pt was not evaluable and excluded from efficacy analyses. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table. One pt with partial response (PR) and 12 pts with SD16+ were observed for DC and objective response (OR) rates of 48% (95% CI: 31%, 62%) and 3.7% (95% CI: 0.1%, 19%), respectively, and the null DC rate of 15% was rejected (p<0.001). 9/13 pts with DC continued on treatment for >32 weeks. 14 pts had at least one grade 3-4 AE at least possibly related to P with the most common being low WBC/platelets. Other grade 3 AEs included increased alanine aminotransferase, anemia, and fatigue. Conclusions: Monotherapy P demonstrated anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated pts with STS with CDK4 amplification. Additional study is warranted to confirm the efficacy of P in pts with STS with CDK4 amplification. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535. [Table: see text]

Results in a cohort of HNC pts with CDKN2A loss or mutation treated with P are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced HNC, no standard treatment options, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-2, and adequate organ function. Genomic testing was performed in CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited site selected labs. Pts received P at 125 mg orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days off until disease progression. Pts matched to P had CDKN2A loss or mutation and no RB mutations.

If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have DC, 18 more pts are enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the null DC rate is rejected. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: 28 pts (64% male) with HNC with CDKN2A loss (20 pts) or mutation (8 pts) were enrolled from June 2016 to Sept 2019. All were eligible for efficacy and toxicity. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table. No objective response (OR) and 10 pts with SD16+ (9 with CDKN2A loss, 1 with mutation) were observed for a DC rate of 37% (95% CI: 21%, 50%); the null DC rate of 15% was rejected (p=0.005). 14 pts had at least one grade 3-5 adverse or serious adverse event (AE/SAE) at least possibly related to P with the most common being low WBC/platelets. Other grade 3-4 AEs included anemia, fatigue, hypocalcemia, and syncope. There was one pt with grade 5 respiratory failure likely due to extensive lung metastases and aspiration but P-related pneumonitis could not be ruled out. Conclusions: Monotherapy P demonstrated modest anti-tumor activity and clinically significant AEs in heavily pre-treated pts with HNC with CDKN2A loss or mutation. Additional study is warranted to confirm the efficacy of P in pts with HNC with CDKN2A loss or mutation. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535. [Table: see text]

9041 Background: TAPUR is a phase II basket study evaluating anti-tumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in pts with advanced cancers with genomic alterations. Results in a cohort of NSCLC pts with CDKN2A loss or mutation treated with P are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced NSCLC, no standard treatment options, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-2 and adequate organ function. Genomic testing was performed using commercially available tests. Pts matched to P had NSCLC with CDKN2A loss or mutation and no RB mutations. A Simon two-stage design was used to test a null rate of 15% vs. 35% (power = 0.85; α = 0.10). If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have disease control (DC) (objective response (OR) or stable disease at 16 weeks (wks) (SD16+)), an additional 18 pts are enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the drug is considered worthy of further study. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Twenty-nine pts were enrolled from January 2017 to June 2018; 1 pt was unevaluable for response but is included in safety analyses. Pts received P at 125 mg orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days off. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table (N = 28). One PR and 6 SD16+ were observed for a DC rate of 29% (90% CI, 15% to 37%). 10 pts had at least one grade 3 or 4 AE or SAE at least possibly related to P with the most common being cytopenias. Other grade 3-4 AEs or SAEs at least possibly related to P included fatigue, anorexia, febrile neutropenia, myocardial infarction, sepsis, vomiting, and hypophosphatemia. Conclusions: Monotherapy with P demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated NSCLC pts with CDKN2A loss or mutation . Additional study is warranted to confirm the efficacy of P in pts with NSCLC with CDKN2A loss or mutation. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535. [Table: see text]

11543 Background: NC-6300 is a polymeric micelle exhibiting increased tumor accumulation compared to small-molecule epirubicin through enhanced pharmacokinetics and controlled release within the tumor through a pH-sensitive linker conjugated to epirubicin. In a phase 1b trial, which accrued twenty-nine patients with various types of sarcoma as well as solid tumors, observed dose-limiting toxicities included thrombocytopenia, stomatitis, lung infection, and febrile neutropenia. The maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose were determined to be 185 mg/m2 and 150 mg/m2, respectively. The objective response rate (ORR) in soft tissue sarcoma subset (n = 17) was 18% with both angiosarcoma patients achieving partial response. To further evaluate the anti-tumor activity of NC-6300 in angiosarcoma, we conducted an expansion cohort of 10 additional angiosarcoma patients. Methods: Eligible patients, at least age 18 years old, with histologically confirmed angiosarcoma, including cutaneous and non-cutaneous variants, not amenable to curative treatment with surgery or radiotherapy were included. No more than two lines of prior systemic therapy were allowed. NC-6300 was administered at the dose of 150 mg/m2 intravenously on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Disease assessment was performed every 6 weeks using RECIST v1.1. The primary endpoint was median progression-free survival (mPFS). Results: Ten patients (cutaneous: 2 pts; non-cutaneous: 8 pts) were enrolled and deemed evaluable. Median line of prior systemic treatment in the advanced disease setting was 1.0 and seven patients (70%) received prior anthracycline therapy. Objective response rate (ORR) was 30% (cutaneous: 1 pt, non-cutaneous: 2 pts) and mPFS was 5.4 months (95% CI: 1.2-NA). Across all angiosarcoma patients included in the phase 1 portion and expansion cohort (phase 1b portion: 2 pts, expansion cohort: 10 pts), ORR and mPFS was 42% and 7.3 months (95%CI: 3.3-NA), respectively. All patients enrolled in the expansion cohort experienced grade 3/4 AEs and no treatment related death was observed. Most frequent grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia without fever (80%), thrombocytopenia (40%), anemia (20%) and leukopenia (20%). AEs led to NC-6300 dose reduction and medication withdrawal were seen in 70% and 10% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: Promising anti-tumor activity was observed in this cohort of patients with cutaneous and non-cutaneous angiosarcoma. The safety profile of this expansion cohort was consistent with previous clinical study results of NC-6300. Our study results warrant further development of NC-6300 for angoisarcoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03168061.

5508 Background: TAPUR is a phase II basket study evaluating anti-tumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in pts with advanced cancers with genomic alterations. Results in a cohort of UC pts with ERBB2 or ERBB3 amplification , overexpression or mutation treated with P+T are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced UC, no standard treatment options, measurable disease, ECOG PS 0-2, and adequate organ function. Genomic testing was performed in CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited site selected labs. Pts matched to P+T had UC with ERBB2 or ERBB3 amplification or overexpression or a pre-specified ERBB2 mutation. Recommended dosing was P at an initial dose of 840 mg intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes (m), then 420 mg IV over 30-60 m every 3 weeks (wks), and T at an initial dose of 8 mg/kg IV over 90 m, then 6 mg/kg IV over 30-60 m every 3 wks until disease progression. Simon 2-stage design tested the null disease control (DC) - defined as partial (PR), complete response (CR) or stable disease at 16+ weeks (SD 16+) - rate of 15% vs. 35% (power = 0.85; α = 0.10). If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have DC, 18 more pts are enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the null DC rate is rejected. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Twenty-eight female pts were enrolled from August 2017 to November 2019; all pts were evaluable for efficacy and toxicity. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table. Twenty-two pts had tumors with ERBB2 amplification (21) or overexpression (1); 4 tumors had ERBB2 mutations; 1 tumor had ERBB3 amplification; 1 tumor had both an ERBB2 amplification and mutation. Two PR and 7 SD16+ were observed in pts with ERBB2 amplification, and 1 SD16+ was observed in a pt with ERBB2 V8421 mutation only (no amplification) for DC and objective response (OR) rates of 37% (95% CI, 21% to 50%) and 7.1% (95% CI, 0.8% to 24%), respectively. One pt experienced grade 3 muscle weakness at least possibly related to P+T. Conclusions: P+T demonstrated evidence of anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated UC pts with ERBB2 amplification or certain mutations. Additional study is warranted to confirm the efficacy of P+T in this pt population. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535. [Table: see text]

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Combining an immune checkpoint inhibitor with a targeted antiangiogenic agent may leverage complementary mechanisms of action for the treatment of advanced/metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). Avelumab is a human anti-PD-L1 IgG1 antibody with clinical activity in various tumor types; axitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1, 2, and 3. We report the final analysis from VEGF Liver 100 (NCT03289533), a phase 1b study evaluating safety and efficacy of avelumab plus axitinib in treatment-naive patients with aHCC. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Eligible patients had confirmed aHCC, no prior systemic therapy, ≥1 measurable lesion, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1, and Child-Pugh class A disease. Patients received avelumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks plus axitinib 5 mg orally twice daily until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Endpoints included safety and investigator-assessed objective response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and modified RECIST (mRECIST) for HCC. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Twenty-two Japanese patients were enrolled and treated with avelumab plus axitinib. The minimum follow-up was 18 months as of October 25, 2019 (data cutoff). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 16 patients (72.7%); the most common (≥3 patients) were hypertension (<i>n</i> = 11 [50.0%]), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (<i>n</i> = 5 [22.7%]), and decreased appetite (<i>n</i> = 3 [13.6%]). No grade 4 TRAEs or treatment-related deaths occurred. Ten patients (45.5%) had an immune-related AE (irAE) of any grade; 3 patients (13.6%) had an infusion-related reaction (IRR) of any grade, and no grade ≥3 irAE and IRR were observed. The objective response rate was 13.6% (95% CI: 2.9–34.9%) per RECIST 1.1 and 31.8% (95% CI: 13.9–54.9%) per mRECIST for HCC. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Treatment with avelumab plus axitinib was associated with a manageable toxicity profile and showed antitumor activity in patients with aHCC.

<b>Purpose:</b> Patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma have limited treatment options. We report final primary efficacy analysis results for a patient cohort with advanced endometrial carcinoma receiving lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in an ongoing phase Ib/II study of selected solid tumors. <b>Methods:</b> Patients took lenvatinib 20 mg once daily orally plus pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks, in 3-week cycles. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) at 24 weeks (ORRWk24); secondary efficacy end points included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Tumor assessments were evaluated by investigators per immune-related RECIST. <b>Results:</b> At data cutoff, 108 patients with previously treated endometrial carcinoma were enrolled, with a median follow-up of 18.7 months. The ORRWk24 was 38.0% (95% CI, 28.8% to 47.8%). Among subgroups, the ORRWk24 (95% CI) was 63.6% (30.8% to 89.1%) in patients with microsatellite instability (MSI)-high tumors (n = 11) and 36.2% (26.5% to 46.7%) in patients with microsatellite-stable tumors (n = 94). For previously treated patients, regardless of tumor MSI status, the median DOR was 21.2 months (95% CI, 7.6 months to not estimable), median PFS was 7.4 months (95% CI, 5.3 to 8.7 months), and median OS was 16.7 months (15.0 months to not estimable). Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 83/124 (66.9%) patients. <b>Conclusion:</b> Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab showed promising antitumor activity in patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma who have experienced disease progression after prior systemic therapy, regardless of tumor MSI status. The combination therapy had a manageable toxicity profile. <b>Trial registration:</b> ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02501096.

4072 Background: Combining an immune checkpoint inhibitor with a targeted antiangiogenic agent may leverage complementary mechanisms of action for treatment of advanced/metastatic (a/m) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Avelumab is a human anti–PD-L1 IgG1 antibody with clinical activity in various tumor types; axitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor selective for VEGF receptors 1/2/3. VEGF Liver 100 (NCT03289533) is a phase 1b study evaluating safety and efficacy of avelumab + axitinib in treatment-naive patients (pts) with HCC; interim results are reported here. Methods: Eligible pts had confirmed a/m HCC, ≥1 measurable lesion, a fresh or archival tumor specimen, ECOG PS ≤1, and Child-Pugh class A. Pts received avelumab 10 mg/kg IV Q2W + axitinib 5 mg orally BID until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. Endpoints included safety and objective response (RECIST v1.1; modified [m] RECIST for HCC). Results: Interim assessment was performed after a minimum follow up of 6 months based on the released study data set (clinical cut-off date: Aug 1, 2018). As of the cut-off date, 22 pts (median age: 68.5 y) were treated with avelumab (median: 20.0 wk) and axitinib (median: 19.9 wk). The most common grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) (≥10% of patients) were hypertension (50.0%) and hand-foot syndrome (22.7%); no grade 4/5 TRAEs were reported. Immune-related AEs (irAEs) (≥10% of pts) were hypothyroidism (31.8%) and hyperthyroidism (13.6%). No grade ≥3 irAEs were reported; no pts discontinued treatment due to TRAEs or irAEs. Based on Waterfall plot calculations, tumor shrinkage was observed in 15 (68.2%) and 16 (72.7%) pts by RECIST and mRECIST, respectively. ORR was 13.6% (95% CI, 2.9%-34.9%) and 31.8% (95% CI, 13.9%-54.9%) by RECIST and mRECIST, respectively. OS data were immature at data cutoff. Conclusions: The preliminary safety of avelumab + axitinib in HCC is manageable and consistent with the known safety profiles of avelumab and axitinib when administered as monotherapies. This study demonstrates antitumor activity of the combination in HCC. Follow-up is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03289533. [Table: see text]

Anti Tumor Activity

1014 Background: TAPUR is a phase II basket study evaluating the anti-tumor activity of commercially available targeted agents in pts with advanced cancers with specific genomic alterations. P is an immune checkpoint inhibitor and HTMB is an emerging predictive biomarker for checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Results in a cohort of MBC pts with HTMB treated with P are reported. Methods: Eligible pts had advanced cancer, no standard treatment options, ECOG PS 0-1, measurable disease and acceptable organ function. Genomic testing was performed using commercially available tests selected by sites. Pts matched to P had HTMB defined as ≥9 mutations/megabase (Muts/Mb) by a FoundationOne test (n=20) or approved by the TAPUR Molecular Tumor Board for other tests (n=8). A Simon two-stage design was used to test a null rate of 15% vs. 35% (power = 0.85; α = 0.10). If ≥2 of 10 pts in stage 1 have disease control (DC) (objective response (OR) or stable disease at 16 weeks (wks) (SD16+)), an additional 18 pts are enrolled. If ≥7 of 28 pts have DC, the drug is considered worthy of further study. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Twenty-eight female MBC pts were enrolled from October 2016 to July 2018. Pts received P at 2 mg/kg (n=8) or 200 mg (n=20) IV over 30 minutes, every 3 wks. HTMB ranged from 9 to 37 Muts/Mb. Demographics and outcomes are summarized in Table (N=28). No relationship was observed between #Muts/Mb and PFS or OS. Two grade 3 AEs (weight loss and hypoalbuminemia) and 1 grade 2 SAE (urinary tract infection) were reported as at least possibly related to P. Conclusions: P demonstrated anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated MBC pts with HTMB . Additional study of P is warranted in MBC pts with HTMB. Clinical trial information: NCT02693535.
