TPS391 Background: Metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) remains an incurable illness as resistance develops after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and/or androgen receptor (AR) axis targeted therapies. The bromodomain (BRD) and extraterminal (BET) proteins are critical for transcription. Preclinically, one of these proteins, BRD4, acts in complex with AR to mediate androgen signaling that leads to prostate cell growth and proliferation. GSK525762 is an oral pan-BET inhibitor that suppresses BET dependent activated AR-driven transcription. Combined with androgen production or receptor targeted agents like abiraterone or enzalutamide, GSK525762 may enhance efficacy of or overcome resistance to either agent. Methods: This is a Phase Ib open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral administration of GSK525762 in combination with either abiraterone plus prednisone (Arm A) or enzalutamide (Arm B) in mCRPC patients whose disease has progressed on prior abiraterone or enzalutamide. Patients must have documented prostate cancer progression as assessed by rising PSA or radiographic progression of soft tissue by PCWG3-modified RECIST 1.1 criteria or bone metastasis. Dose escalation is designed to identify safe doses to move into dose expansion. Dose expansion will explore safety and efficacy in patients who failed in first line (L2 population) or after multiple lines of prior therapy (LX population). Primary objectives include defining the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of GSK525762 when combined with products in Arm A or Arm B. Primary clinical activity endpoint is defined as the response rate of subjects achieving a 50% or more reduction from baseline of PSA at 12 weeks or thereafter. Dose escalation will employ a modified Toxicity Probability Interval (mTPI) design. Dose expansion will use a Bayesian adaptive design, which will calculate posterior probability that utility of the dose is clinically significant at interim futility analysis for each dose level.

TPS5092 Background: Prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common cancer in US men. Disseminated CaP invariably progresses to metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Current treatment options for mCRPC usually lead to therapeutic resistance, and novel therapies are urgently needed. PSMA is a prostate-specific antigen over-expressed on most mCRPC. Antibodies against PSMA have been used to create T-cell engaging bispecific Abs (TCEs) and chimeric antigen receptor T cells, but all such approaches to date induce frequent/severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS). We combined a high-affinity αPSMA moiety with a low-activating αCD3 binder to create TNB-585; in preclinical studies, TNB-585 showed equivalent anti-tumor efficacy but much reduced cytokine secretion compared to PSMA-targeted TCEs with a strongly activating αCD3 domain. TNB-585 also has a full length silenced Fc domain, conferring a 3-week half-life. A phase 1 study investigating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and preliminary activity of TNB-585 in patients with mCRPC is ongoing and described. Methods: TNB585.001 (NCT04740034) is an open-label, multi-center study of TNB-585 in patients with mCRPC. The study is divided into escalation (Arm A, N=24) and expansion (Arm B, N=30) arms. Subjects who have received 2 or more prior lines of therapy are eligible. Prior exposure to PSMA-targeted therapy is permitted, as are well-controlled HBV, HCV, and HIV infection; subjects with secondary malignancies that do not interfere with the study may also be enrolled. Other key inclusion/exclusion criteria include EGFR of > 30ml/min and ECOG ≤ 2. TNB-585 is administered as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Subjects must be admitted for 48 hours after their 1st dose; TNB-585 is given on an outpatient basis thereafter. Dose escalation is proceeding in Arm A via single patient cohorts until the onset of toxicity or activity; thereafter subjects enroll using a BOIN design. Arm B will start once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) has been selected. Subjects will be treated until progression or unacceptable toxicity. In Arm A, occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) will drive identification of the MTD (or RP2D) based on the BOIN escalation and de-escalation boundaries (λe of 0.236 and a λd of 0.358). In Arm B accrual will be suspended if more than 33% of subjects experience a DLT event. Adverse events (AEs), laboratory profiles, and vital signs will be assessed throughout the study. AEs are graded according to the NCI CTCAE, version 5.0. The activity endpoints (per PCWG3/RECIST1.1) include overall response rate, PSA50, PSA30, CTC counts, progression free survival and overall survival. The relationship between PSMA expression (via PSMA-PET) and activity will be assessed. Clinical trial information: NCT04740034.

Abstract Introduction: Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare, indolent B-cell lymphoma characterized by lymphoplasmacytic cell infiltration of bone marrow and elevated serum levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM) protein. Despite recent advances in treatment the disease relapses in most patients. About 90% of WM patients harbor the MYD88 L265P oncogenic mutation. MYD88 is an adapter protein in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway. The MYD88 L265P oncoprotein has been shown to amplify TLR 7 and 9 signaling, leading to downstream activation of NF-κB and cytokine signaling pathways that promote tumor cell survival and proliferation (Lim, AACR 2013). IMO-8400 is an investigational oligonucleotide antagonist of endosomal TLRs 7, 8 and 9. In preclinical studies in a human cell line and animal models of WM, IMO-8400 inhibited key cell signaling pathways, including NF-κB, BTK, STAT-3 and IRAK-4, and inhibited tumor growth and tumor IgM production. In Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in healthy subjects (N=30) and in patients with autoimmune disease (N=35), IMO-8400 was generally well tolerated and demonstrated evidence of clinical activity. Based on these data, we initiated a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of IMO-8400 in WM, the first study of a drug candidate specifically targeting the MYD88 L265P mutation. Methods: This Phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial continues to recruit adult patients with relapsed or refractory WM (NCT Identifier: NCT02092909). In a classic 3x3 dose escalation scheme, patients are enrolled in one of three sequential escalating dose cohorts and receive subcutaneous IMO-8400 at dosages of 0.6, 1.2 or 2.4 mg/kg per week, respectively, for 24 weeks. The presence of the MYD88 L265P mutation is assessed by PCR-based genetic screening following enrollment. Patients who complete the 24-week treatment period are eligible to enroll in an extension trial. The primary study objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating IMO-8400 dosages. Secondary objectives include preliminary evaluation of clinical response based on international guidelines and identification of an optimal dose for further evaluation (Kimby, Clin Lymphoma Myeloma 2006). Results: Overall, 17 patients (6 female, 11 male) have been enrolled in three dose cohorts to date. Median baseline characteristics include: age 66 years, prior therapies 4 (range 1-13), serum IgM 2,225 mg/dL, serum M protein 0.96 g/dL, and B2-microglobulin 3.42 mg/L. IMO-8400 has been generally well tolerated across all dose cohorts to date, with patient exposure ranging from 2-46 weeks in the Phase 1/2 and extension trials. The most common adverse events reported to date include transient flu-like symptoms and injection site reactions. One serious adverse event of worsening grade 3 arthritis, deemed possibly related to study drug, was reported in a patient with a pre-existing history of arthritis in the 2.4 mg/kg dose cohort. This patient discontinued study treatment. To date, no other patients have discontinued treatment due to treatment-related adverse events. Preliminary evidence of clinical activity for IMO-8400 has been observed in all dose cohorts. In June 2015, an independent Data Review Committee reviewed 4-week safety data from the highest dose cohort and agreed that 2.4 mg/kg was safe for further evaluation. Safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary activity for all three dose cohorts will be presented. Conclusions: IMO-8400 is a mutation-targeted therapy in development for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory WM. In an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial in WM, IMO-8400 has been generally well tolerated and has demonstrated preliminary evidence of clinical activity. Safety results support continued evaluation of IMO-8400 at 2.4 mg/kg/week in this patient population.

4665 Background: Galeterone is an oral steroid analog that suppresses prostate cancer growth by inhibiting CYP17, blocking androgen receptor and reducing androgen receptor levels. Methods: Open label, multicenter dose-finding study assessing the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical effect of escalating doses of galeterone in chemotherapy naïve CRPC patients (pts). Pts were enrolled in cohorts from 650-2,600mg of galeterone daily for 12 wks. Study also explored effects of food supplement and scheduling. Pts remained on study until disease progression or dose limiting toxicity. Results: Pt characteristics included median age 69 (47-92), median PSA 24 (6-200), and 46.9% with metastases. 36 of 49 pts completed 12 wks of study with early discontinuation for toxicity (6), progression (5), or withdrawal of consent (2). Maximal tolerated dose was not reached. The frequency of AEs was 58% grade 1, 30% grade 2, 8% grade 3 and 1% grade 4. Transient LFT elevations were seen in 15 men (5 with suspected or confirmed Gilberts). There was no trend for increasing toxicity with dose escalation and no PK difference in Gilberts pts. 9 SAEs were reported with one considered related to galeterone (rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure in the context of high dose statin use). Overall 11/49 pts (22%) demonstrated >50% PSA decline and an additional 13/49 (26%) had 30-50% declines. Partial response by RECIST was seen in 2 pts. Consistent with lyase inhibition, increased corticosteroids and suppressed androgens were seen with dose escalation. Analysis of limited plasma collected 4 - 30 hours after dosing showed high interpatient variability with no consistent relationship to dose or time after dosing. Conclusions: Galeterone was well tolerated in CRPC pts and demonstrated clinical activity. Galeterone is being reformulated with additional PK and phase II trials planned. [Table: see text]

207 Background: Prostate cancer accounts for approximately 10% of cancer deaths in men worldwide. Clinical trials for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have established survival benefit with use of abiraterone (ABI) with prednisone or enzalutamide (ENZ). Despite their wide utilization, little is known about patient quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes for these agents. Our study evaluates patient reported QOL while taking ENZ or ABI/prednisone. Methods: 22 mCRPC patients were enrolled in an open label, nonrandomized manner to receive oral ENZ (n=12) or ABI/prednisone (n=6) per oncologist’s discretion. Patients completed multiple QOL validated questionnaires, including EPIC-26, FACT-P, and FACT-COG at baseline, 1,2,3,6,9 and 12 months or until progression/change of therapy. Surveys were scored by treatment group using mean, median, range, and standard deviations. QOL parameters were compared between the two groups with two-sided, two-sample T test and linear mixed models. Results: Surveys discontinued prior to 1 year secondary to disease progression/change of therapy were 58% and 33% for ENZ and ABI, respectively. By month 3, 50% of surveys were returned for ENZ and 33% for ABI. Month-to-month comparisons of QOL parameters including urinary irritation, incontinence, bowel, sexual, hormonal function, and overall well-being showed no significant differences between treatment groups or different rates of change. Perceived Cognitive Impairment was significantly lower for patients on ABI in month 3, yet Perceived Cognitive Ability favored ENZ in months 2 and 3. All other data points for cognition showed no significant differences. Conclusions: Data from FACT-COG shows discordance in perceived Cognitive Impairment and Abilities between ENZ and ABI in months 2-3. Other QOL domains indicated no difference between the two groups. The study was limited by a significant portion of patients with disease progression/change of therapy. For those on therapy, survey compliance remained high. Thus, the use of questionnaires is a feasible means of assessing patient outcomes and can be adapted to larger studies.
