398 Background: The PI3K/mTOR pathway has emerged as a potential target for anticancer therapy. Considerable evidence suggests that targeting a single isoform of PI3K (p110α) would have sufficient antitumor activity and improved therapeutic window. Further, PI3KCA mutations, gene encoding isoform p110α, are described in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). BYL719 is an oral class I α-specific PI3K inhibitor that showed preclinical anti-tumor activity. The first in human phase 1 trial of BYL719 defined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) at 400mg QD. Methods: This was a phase I, single center study (standard 3+3 design). The primary objective was to determine the MTD of BYL719 in combination with gemcitabine (G) and nab-paclitaxel (nabP) as frontline therapy in locally advanced or metastatic PAC. BYL719 was given orally daily (Table). Patients (pts) were restaged q2 cycles. The study was closed prematurely due to slow accrual. Results: Fifteen pts were enrolled (median age was 58 years). Three pts each participated in cohorts 1 and 2. Nine pts were enrolled in cohort 3, but 4 were replaced (3 pts withdrew consent prior to evaluation and 1 missed > 10 days of treatment). One pt in cohort 3 had DLT related to grade 3 nausea and vomiting. A total of 19 grade 3 and 4 adverse events were records as probably or possibly associated with BYL719. The most common ones were hyperglycemia, anemia, and neutrophil count decreased. One pt developed Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) during cycle 7. Although we could not completely exclude BYL719 as a cause, PRES was attributed to G. One pt had sudden death during cycle 4 that was attributed to progression. Only 8 pts were evaluable for response. Two had stable disease, 5 had partial responses and 1 had progression. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 5.36 months (1.6 to 10 months) and 8.74 months (3.8 to 21.2 months) respectively. Conclusions: The combination of full doses of G + nabP and BYL719 can be safely administered up to BYL dose of 250 mg/day. Clinical trial information: NCT02155088. [Table: see text]

Abstract Introduction: Patients with myeloma ultimately become refractory to current therapies, requiring new approaches to treatment. Carfilzomib is a second generation proteasome inhibitor that has demonstrated significant activity in patients with relapsed and refractory disease. Panobinostat is a pan-deacetylase inhibitor that has been shown to be effective and overcome resistance in combination with bortezomib in refractory patients. In addition, patients treated with a combination of bortezomib/dexamethasone/panobinostat had a significant improvement in progression free survival (PFS) compared to bortezomib/dexamethasone alone. Based on preclinical data supporting combined HDAC and proteasome inhibition, we hypothesized that carfilzomib and panobinostat would be safe and effective in relapsed/refractory myeloma patients. Herein we report the initial findings of the MMRC multicenter phase I study of the combination. Methods: The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of panobinostat and carfilzomib using a standard 3+3 alternate dose escalation design with 4 cohorts. An additional 12 patient expansion group will be treated at the MTD to further assess the activity and safety of the combination. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the extended safety of this combination and to assess response, response duration and progression free survival (PFS). Panobinostat is administered orally three times weekly for three of four weeks, ranging from 15 to 20 mg. Carfilzomib is administered IV days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16, ranging from 20/27 mg/m2 to 20/45mg/m2. Cycles are repeated every 4 weeks. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) are determined in the first cycle, and all adverse events are assessed according to CTCAE V4. Responses are assessed using IMWG criteria (plus MRs as per the EBMT criteria). Results: To date, 20 patients in four cohorts have been enrolled and all have completed the first cycle. Median age is 64.5 years (48-75). All patients had refractory and progressive disease; with a median number of 4) prior treatment lines. Three DLTs occurred. One patient had grade 4 thrombocytopenia with grade 3 acute kidney injury, one patient developed persistent grade 4 thrombocytopenia without bleeding and one patient had grade 3 diarrhea uncontrolled by maximal medical therapy. The MTD is panobinostat 20 mg and carfilzomib 20/36 mg/m2. The most common grade 3 toxicities were hematologic. Regardless of causality, grade 3 or higher anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia occurred in 35%, 35%, and 20% of patients, respectively. The most common grade 3/4 or higher nonhematologic toxicities were fatigue (15%), anorexia (10%), hyponatremia (10%) and nausea (10%). The overall response rate is 50% with 30% PRs and 20% VGPR or better. The median PFS is 14.3 months. Conclusion: The combination of carfilzomib and panobinostat is well tolerated with no unexpected toxicities. Response, durability of response, and PFS are encouraging and warrant further study.

Abstract Oral cyclophosphamide and prednisone is a convenient regimen in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM), with a partial response (PR) rate of 40% and median progression-free survival of 19 months in our retrospective analysis of patients in first or second relapse after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (Trieu Y, et al, Mayo Clin Proc2005; 80: 1582). We sought to enhance the efficacy of this regimen by adding oral lenalidomide (Revlimid®), a potent anti-myeloma agent, in a phase I-II trial. The CPR regimen consisted of cyclophosphamide on days 1, 8 and 15, lenalidomide on days 1–21, and prednisone 100 mg every other day in a 28-day cycle. ASA 81 mg/day was given to all patients (pts) as prophylaxis for DVT. Three dose levels were evaluated using a 3 by 3 dose escalation design. Between 11/2007–07/2008, 15 pts with relapsed/refractory MM were entered onto study. Median age was 60 (45–78) years and 60% were male. Immunoglobulin subtype was IgGκ:λ in 10:1; IgA κ:λ in 2:1 and κ light chain in 1. Median number of prior regimens was 2 (1–3) and 14 had undergone previous ASCT, including double transplants in 2 pts. Prior therapy also included thalidomide in 3 (20%) and bortezomib in 6 (40%). FISH cytogenetics were available in 9, but none had 13q deletion, t(4;14) or p53 deletion. At the time of protocol entry, median β2-microglobulin level was 222 (92–325) nm/L, albumin 38 (35–46) g/L, creatinine 78 (50–100) μmol/L, platelet count 230 (93–318) x 109/L and ANC 2.5 (1.9–9.0) x 109/L. Protocol treatment is summarized in Table 1. Dose level N Cyclophosphamide dose (mg/m2) Lenalidomide dose (mg) Prednisone dose (mg) Median # cycles given 1 3 150 15 100 9 2 3 150 25 100 6 3 6 300 25 100 4 3 (expanded) 3 300 25 100 1 Dose limiting toxicity was not observed during cycle 1 at any of the dose levels and the maximum tolerated dose of this regimen has not yet been reached at the highest dose level planned; all pts remain on active therapy. Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia was seen in 1 pt (cohort 2) and neutropenia in 4 pts (1 in cohort 1, 1 in cohort 2 and 2 in cohort 3) and were managed with dose reduction and/or growth factor support. No episodes of febrile neutropenia occurred in any pt. Only 1 pt experienced varicella zoster; routine antiviral prophylaxis was not used. Other grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicities were uncommon and included abdominal pain/bacteremia in 1 pt in cohort 1, hypokalemia in 1 pt in cohort 2, and DVT in 1 pt in cohort 3. Mild grade 1/2 constipation (47%), muscle cramps (33%) and fatigue (33%) were also noted. To date, best response includes the following: dose level 1 (1 near complete remission [nCR], 2 PR); dose level 2 (3 PR); dose level 3 (4 PR, 2 minimal response [MR]); expanded cohort 3 (1 MR, 2 too early). We conclude: 1) the combination of full doses of the agents in CPR can be given in a 28-day cycle with minimal toxicity; 2) the overall response rate (nCR + PR + MR) in 13 evaluable pts to date is 87%; 3) no pts have progressed in this preliminary analysis; 4) longer follow-up is required to assess the long-term efficacy of this regimen.

3034 Background: AZD2171 is an oral, potent, selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). Trials have demonstrated that inhibition of the VEGF pathway, in combination with certain chemotherapy, provides benefit to patients with a broad range of solid tumors. Methods: This Phase I trial was conducted in heavily pretreated solid tumor patients. In a single protocol, escalating doses of AZD2171 were evaluated (20, 30 and 45 mg) in combination with four separate chemotherapy regimens: mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2; 5-FU 400 mg/m2; leucovorin 400 mg/m2 q2 weeks; Arm 1); irinotecan 300 mg/m2 q3 week (Arm 2); docetaxel 75 mg/m2 (Arm 3) and pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 (Arm 4). The primary objective was to evaluate safety and tolerability of the combinations and secondary objective to evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK) interaction and clinical efficacy. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) toxicity was defined through two cycles. Results: 46 patients have been enrolled: 28/35 evaluable for efficacy/toxicity. The MTD has been reached in two arms: Arm 2 - 20 mg AZD2171 and Arm 4 - 30 mg AZD2171. Arm 3 enrollment continues at 45 mg AZD2171. Two dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed in eight patients at 30 mg AZD2171 in Arm 1. Enrollment of an additional cohort of less heavily pre-treated patients is ongoing to determine the tolerability of 30 mg AZD2171 with FOLFOX. DLTs have included grade 3 fatigue in Arms 1, 2 & 4; grade 3 diarrhea in Arm 1; grade 3 hand-foot syndrome & grade 4 neutropenic fever in Arm 2; and grade 3 hypertension in Arm 4. AZD2171 did not appear to have a major effect on the PK profile of any chemotherapy regimen tested. Steady-state values are comparable with AZD2171 monotherapy. There have been 13 responses (minor response, n=5; partial response, n=6; complete response, n=2; stable disease ≥ 4 cycles, n=6) in heavily pretreated patients, some having demonstrated resistance to identical chemotherapies. Duration of response has been impressive (4-22+ cycles). Conclusions: AZD2171 combinations have been well tolerated with expected toxicities and encouraging responses. [Table: see text]

3082 Background: CX-3543 is a novel small molecule specifically designed to target three dimensional nucleic acid motifs, and thus induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Preclinically, CX-3543 demonstrated potency in suppressing xenograft tumor growth with a broad therapeutic window. The objectives of this phase I study are: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), to establish the pharmacokinetics (PKs), and to determine the recommended dose for further clinical development of CX-3543. Methods: Eligible patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas whose tumors progressed on standard therapy or for whom there are no standard therapies receive CX-3543 in successive dose cohorts at: 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg/m2. Dosing is by one hour intravenous infusion daily for five consecutive days repeated on a three week cycle. Therapy is continued until the patient shows signs of intolerance to CX-3543 or evidence of advancing disease. Response by RECIST criteria is determined after every 2 cycles. Results: Ten patients with solid tumors (3–4 per cohort) have received intravenous CX-3543. Doses have been well tolerated. Seven grade 3 adverse events have been reported during the study, but none of these are related to CX-3543. To date no objective responses have been observed. One patient with advanced refractory prostate cancer has stable disease of longer than 4 months duration. CX-3543 has demonstrated good linearity in PK parameters between the dose cohorts with a terminal half life of approximately 12 hours following the first dose. Conclusions: To date, CX-3543 has shown no drug related toxicity and has predictable PKs. No DLTs have yet been observed, and the MTD remains to be defined in this Phase I study. Further enrollment to the planned dose escalation cohorts is ongoing. [Table: see text]

e13077 Background: Oprozomib (ONX0912), a structural analog of carfilzomib, is an orally bioavailable proteasome inhibitor that irreversibly binds to its target and is being evaluated in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors (ST). In a dose-escalation study of once-daily (qd) ONX0912, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 150 mg/d. The protocol was subsequently amended to investigate the effects of a split-dose schedule. Presented here are the interim results from this patient (pt) group. Methods: This is an ongoing, phase 1 study in pts with advanced refractory or recurrent ST. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ONX0912 and determine the MTD. ONX0912 is administered for 5 consecutive days in 14-day cycles. For pts under the amended regimen, treatment is initiated at 60 mg BID, with 4–6 h between doses. Daily doses are escalated in 30 mg increments in successive groups of 3 pts. Groups are expanded to include 6 pts in the event of a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) or if the MTD is reached. All AEs, including serious AEs (SAEs), are defined per protocol and collected from screening to 30 days after the last dose. Results: 13 pts received a split dose of ONX0912 (4 pts: 60 mg BID; 3 pts: 90/60 mg; 6 pts: 90 mg BID). At least 1 dose reduction was required by 1 pt in the 90/60 mg group and 2 pts in the 90 mg BID group. 9 pts reported treatment-related GI AEs (vomiting, n=9; nausea, n=8; diarrhea, n=5). 2 SAEs, arthralgia and mental status change, were reported at 60 mg BID. 2 SAEs resulting in a dose delay were reported at 90/60 mg (Grade 3/4 anemia [ongoing, also required a dose reduction] and reversible fatigue). There was 1 DLT at 90 mg BID (Grade 3 reversible hypophosphatemia), and this cohort was therefore expanded. Treatment-related vomiting led to discontinuation for 1 patient at 60 mg BID. No AEs led to early withdrawal, and no deaths have been reported in the study. Conclusions: With qd administration, the MTD of ONX0912 was established at 150 mg/d. However, the MTD has not been reached on the split-dose regimen at cumulative doses up to 180 mg/d (90 mg BID). GI AEs were the most common treatment-related AEs. Based on these preliminary observations, split-dose ONX0912 may improve tolerability over qd dosing.

73 Background: In the AVAGAST study, chemotherapy (fluoropyrimidine and cisplatin) + BEV did not significantly improve overall survival (OS) vs. chemotherapy + placebo. Geographic differences in efficacy were observed, but only 12 Chinese pts were included. AVATAR, a study similar in design to AVAGAST, is a randomized double-blind study conducted exclusively in China in pts with AGC. Methods: Pts aged >18 years with gastric adenocarcinoma were randomized 1:1 to XP + BEV 7.5 mg/kg or placebo + XP. The primary objective was OS; secondary objectives included progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Results: Baseline characteristics of the 202 pts were well balanced. The primary efficacy endpoint of improved OS in the BEV arm was not met (HR 1.11, 95% CI 0.79–1.56; p=0.5567; see table ). BEV + XP was well tolerated. Grade 3–5 adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were 60% and 19% for BEV and 68% vs. 21% for placebo, respectively. Grade 3–5 AEs of special interest with BEV occurred in 8% of BEV pts and 15% of placebo pts; the difference was mainly due to grade 3–5 haemorrhage (BEV 4%, placebo 12%). Conclusions: Addition of BEV to XP in Chinese pts with AGC did not significantly improve outcomes in AVATAR. The results from AVATAR are consistent with the findings seen in the Asian sub-population of the previous AVAGAST study. [Table: see text]

TPS494 Background: In human cancers, loss of PTEN, stabilization of hypoxia inducible factor-1α, and activation of Ras and AKT converge to increase the activity of a regulator of glycolysis, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFKFB3). This enzyme synthesizes fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP), which is an activator of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase, a crucial step of glycolysis that is tightly controlled by multiple metabolic feedback mechanisms and dictates the rate of glycolytic flow. The vast majority of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and approximately 50% of colon adenocarcinomas harbor activating mutations in Ras and these tumors have been reported to be highly glycolytic. PFK158 is a potent small molecule inhibitor of PFKFB3 that is selectively cytotoxic to Ras-transformed epithelial cells and displays broad anti-tumor activity causing ~80% growth inhibition in several mouse models of human-derived tumors and syngeneic murine models of colon cancer. Importantly, IND-enabling safety and toxicity studies have demonstrated that PFK158 is well tolerated in rats and dogs with an expected good therapeutic index, lending support for a phase 1 trial that is now underway. Methods: The primary objective of the study is to describe the dose limiting toxicity and to determine either the maximum tolerated dose or biological effective dose of PFK-158 in a “3+3” cohort-based dose escalation design that follows a modified Fibonacci scheme. Multiple secondary endpoints have been incorporated to assess the effects of PFK-158 on peripheral blood mononuclear cell F2,6BP activity and on glucose uptake using FDG-PET imaging. This trial is currently enrolling at two US sites; Cohort 1 has been completed without dose-limiting toxicity and Cohort 2 is enrolling with two subjects under treatment as of September 2014. In conclusion, PFK158 is the first-in-man and first-in-class PFKFB3 inhibitor to be examined in a phase I trial and may have significant clinical utility either as a monotherapy or when combined with other targeted agents. Clinical trial information: NCT02044861.

4525 Background: Anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy shows promising clinical activity in UC. We report a planned update of the safety and efficacy of durvalumab in patients (pts) with locally advanced/metastatic UC from a multicenter, phase 1/2 open-label study. Methods: Pts received durvalumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W) up to 12 months (mo) or until unacceptable toxicity, progression, or starting another anticancer therapy. Primary endpoints were safety and confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (RECIST v1.1). Duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were key secondary endpoints. Tumor PD-L1 expression was assessed by Ventana SP263 assay (PD-L1 high = ≥25% PD-L1 expression on tumor or immune cells). Results: As of Oct 24, 2016 (data cutoff [DCO]), 191 pts had received treatment. Median follow-up was 5.78 mo (range, 0.4–25.9). All pts had Stage 4 disease and 99.5% had prior anticancer therapy (95.3% post-platinum). As of DCO, ORR was 17.8% (34/191), including 7 CRs, with responses observed regardless of PD-L1 status (Table). Responses occurred early (median time to response, 1.41 mo) and were durable (median DoR not reached [NR]). Median PFS and OS were 1.5 mo (95% CI, 1.4, 1.9) and 18.2 mo (95% CI, 8.1, not estimable [NE]), respectively; the 1-year OS rate was 55.0% (95% CI, 43.9%, 64.7%). Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurred in 6.8% of pts; grade 3/4 immune-mediated (im)AEs occurred in 4 pts; 2 pts discontinued due to imAEs (acute kidney injury and autoimmune hepatitis). Conclusions: Durvalumab 10 mg/kg Q2W shows favorable clinical activity and an excellent safety profile in locally advanced/metastatic UC pts. Table.

9549 Background: Preclinical findings have shown a synergy between RT and anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody in several tumor animal models for both local tumor control and distant effects. Preliminary clinical data suggest that it could be due to an abscopal effect of RT. The Mel-Ipi-Rx phase 1 study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety profile of RT combined with ipilimumab in pts with metastatic melanoma. Methods: A 3+3 dose escalation design was used with 9, 15, 18 and 24 Gy dose of RT (in 3 fractions) at week 4 combined with 10 mg/kg ipilimumab (every 3 weeks for 4 doses). Pts with evidence of clinical benefit at week 12 were eligible for maintenance ipilimumab at 10 mg/kg every 12 weeks starting at week 24 until severe toxicity or disease progression based on immune-related response criteria (irRC). Results: 19 pts with advanced melanoma received ipilimumab between August 2011 and July 2015. Nine pts received the 4 doses of ipilimumab and 2 pts received maintenance ipilimumab (1 and 2 cycles respectively). All pts received the combined RT at week 4 in 3 fractions. All pts presented at least one AE of any grade. The most common AEs were asthenia, diarrhea, desease-related pain and fever. Grade 3 AEs occurred in 8 pts. They included colitis (n = 3), hepatitis (n = 2), anemia (n = 2), asthenia (n = 1), thyroid disorders (n = 1) and nausea/vomiting (n = 1). Nine pts discontinued the study owing to treatment-related adverse events including colitis (n = 6), hepatitis (n = 2) and DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and systemic syndrome) (n = 1). DLT occurred in 2/6 pts in the cohort receiving 15 Gy. No drug-related death occurred. According to irRC, 4 partial responses (ORR: 21%) and 4 stable diseases were observed at week 24. The MTD was 9 Gy dose. One pt out of 12 treated in the 9 Gy cohort presented a DLT (grade 3 colitis). The median progression-free survival [95% CI] was 7.2 months [2.4 – 16.8]. The median overall survival [95% CI] was 14.4 months [7.2 – 20.4]. Conclusions: When combined with ipilimumab at 10 mg/kg, in the present design, the MTD of RT was 9 Gy. This combination appears to be associated with antitumor activity. Clinical trial information: 2010-020317-93.

6015 Background: Cemiplimab (REGN2810) produced substantial antitumor activity with durable responses in Phase 1 CSCC expansion cohorts and Phase 2 metastatic (m) CSCC cohort. We now present the primary analysis of the Phase 2 laCSCC cohort (NCT02760498; data cutoff date: Oct 10, 2018). Methods: Pts with laCSCC received cemiplimab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks (Q2W). Tumor measurements were performed Q8W. The primary objective was to evaluate objective response rate (ORR; complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) according to independent central review (per RECIST 1.1 for scans; modified WHO criteria for photos). Results: 78 pts were enrolled (59 M/ 19 F; median age: 74 years; ECOG PS: 0 in 38 pts, 1 in 40 pts; primary CSCC site: head/neck in 79.5%; prior systemic therapy: 15.4%; prior radiotherapy: 55.1%). Median duration of follow-up was 9.3 months (range: 0.8–27.9). ORR by central review was 43.6% (95% CI: 32.4–55.3; 10 CRs and 24 PRs); investigator-assessed (INV) ORR was 52.6% (95% CI: 40.9–64.0; 13 CRs and 28 PRs). Median duration of response (DOR) has not been reached. The longest DOR at data cut-off was 24.2 months and was still ongoing. Durable disease control rate (stable disease or response for ≥16 weeks) was 62.8% (95% CI: 51.1–73.5). Median observed time to response was 1.9 months (range: 1.8–8.8). Median progression-free and overall survival have not been reached. Tumor PD-L1 status is available for 48/78 pts, tumor mutational burden analysis (from targeted exome panel) is ongoing for ≥40/78 pts; response correlation analyses are planned. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs; all grades, Grade ≥3) were fatigue (42.3%, 1.3%), diarrhea and pruritus (both 26.9%, 0%), and nausea (21.8%, 0%). INV grade ≥3 immune-related AEs occurred in 10.3% of pts. One pt died due to an unknown cause that was assessed as treatment-related. Conclusions: Cemiplimab 3 mg/kg Q2W showed substantial antitumor activity, durable responses, and acceptable safety profile in pts with laCSCC. These data strongly support the recent FDA approval of cemiplimab-rwlc for pts with mCSCC or laCSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation. Clinical trial information: NCT02760498.
