Purpose Tumors may evade immunosurveillance through upregulation of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) enzyme. Epacadostat is a potent and highly selective IDO1 enzyme inhibitor. The open-label phase I/II ECHO-202/KEYNOTE-037 trial evaluated epacadostat plus pembrolizumab, a programmed death protein 1 inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Phase I results on maximum tolerated dose, safety, tolerability, preliminary antitumor activity, and pharmacokinetics are reported. Patients and Methods Patients received escalating doses of oral epacadostat (25, 50, 100, or 300 mg) twice per day plus intravenous pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg or 200 mg every 3 weeks. During the safety expansion, patients received epacadostat (50, 100, or 300 mg) twice per day plus pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks. Results Sixty-two patients were enrolled and received one or more doses of study treatment. The maximum tolerated dose of epacadostat in combination with pembrolizumab was not reached. Fifty-two patients (84%) experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), with fatigue (36%), rash (36%), arthralgia (24%), pruritus (23%), and nausea (21%) occurring in ≥ 20%. Grade 3/4 TRAEs were reported in 24% of patients. Seven patients (11%) discontinued study treatment because of TRAEs. No TRAEs led to death. Epacadostat 100 mg twice per day plus pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks was recommended for phase II evaluation. Objective responses (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1) occurred in 12 (55%) of 22 patients with melanoma and in patients with non–small-cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, endometrial adenocarcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The pharmacokinetics of epacadostat and pembrolizumab and antidrug antibody rate were comparable to historical controls for monotherapies. Conclusion Epacadostat in combination with pembrolizumab generally was well tolerated and had encouraging antitumor activity in multiple advanced solid tumors.

Purpose This open-label, phase I, dose-escalation study assessed the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of sunitinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods Sunitinib (25, 37.5, or 50 mg) was administered orally once daily on three dosing schedules: 4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off treatment (Schedule 4/2); 2 weeks on treatment, 1 week off treatment (Schedule 2/1); and continuous daily dosing (CDD schedule). Capecitabine (825, 1,000, or 1,250 mg/m2) was administered orally twice daily on days 1 to 14 every 3 weeks for all patients. Sunitinib and capecitabine doses were escalated in serial patient cohorts. Results Seventy-three patients were treated. Grade 3 adverse events included abdominal pain, mucosal inflammation, fatigue, neutropenia, and hand-foot syndrome. The MTD for Schedule 4/2 and the CDD schedule was sunitinib 37.5 mg/d plus capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice per day; the MTD for Schedule 2/1 was sunitinib 50 mg/d plus capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice per day. There were no clinically significant pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions. Nine partial responses were confirmed in patients with pancreatic cancer (n = 3) and breast, thyroid, neuroendocrine, bladder, and colorectal cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma (each n = 1). Conclusion The combination of sunitinib and capecitabine resulted in an acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced solid tumors. Further evaluation of sunitinib in combination with capecitabine may be undertaken using the MTD for any of the three treatment schedules.

2558 Background: An ongoing multicenter, open-label, phase 1 study of the anti–CTLA-4 antibody MK-1308 in combination with pembro in advanced solid tumors (NCT03179436) revealed a manageable safety profile and promising efficacy in pts with first-line (1L) advanced NSCLC. Data from a larger sample size and longer follow-up are presented. Methods: In dose escalation (DE), pts with advanced solid tumors received MK-1308 by IV administration at 25, 75, or 200 mg Q3W ×1 cycle then in combination with pembro 200 mg Q3W ×4 cycles followed by pembro monotherapy (up to 35 cycles). In dose confirmation (DC), pts with 1L advanced NSCLC received MK-1308 at 25 or 75 mg—Q3W or Q6W—plus pembro 200 mg Q3W (up to 35 cycles). Safety (all treated pts), efficacy (subset of 1L NSCLC pts), pharmacokinetics (PK, all treated pts), and PD-L1 tumor expression (subset of 1L NSCLC pts) were analyzed. Results: 213 pts were treated (DE, n=39; DC, n=174). All pts were included in the safety analyses (median follow-up, 8 months); 113 pts from DC were included in the efficacy analyses (median follow-up, 8 months). PK showed a dose-dependent increase in MK-1308 exposure. Neither target dose-limiting toxicity (≥10%) nor maximum tolerated dose were reached for MK-1308 plus pembro; however, toxicity increased with increasing MK-1308 dose and shorter dosing intervals. Treatment-related adverse events grade ≥3 occurred at the lowest rates at 25 mg Q3W in DE (0%) and 25 mg Q6W in DC (25%) and at the highest rates at 200 mg Q3W in DE (75%) and 75 mg Q3W in DC (50%). Efficacy was observed at all MK-1308 dose levels and intervals: confirmed ORR per RECIST 1.1 by central review in 1L advanced NSCLC was 39% at 25 mg Q3W, 33% at 25 mg Q6W, 22% at 75 mg Q6W, and 25% at 75 mg Q3W; 6-month PFS and OS rates are 67% and 89% for the 25 mg Q6W arm. There was a 25% ORR in PD-L1–negative 1L advanced NSCLC pts. Conclusions: MK-1308 plus pembro was generally well tolerated with no unexpected toxicity and conferred encouraging antitumor activity in 1L advanced NSCLC pts. Efficacy, safety, and PK data suggest that 25 mg given Q6W is the recommended phase 2 dose for MK-1308 in combination with pembro. Clinical trial information: NCT03179436.

SummaryBackground This open-label, phase 1 study investigated TAS4464, a potent NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor, in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (JapicCTI-173,488; registered 13/01/2017). The primary objective was dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) was investigated using an accelerated titration design. Methods The starting 10-mg/m2 dose was followed by an initial accelerated stage (weekly dosing; n = 11). Based on liver function test (LFT) results, a 14-day, 20-mg/m2 dose lead-in period was implemented (weekly dosing with lead-in; n = 6). Results Abnormal LFT changes and gastrointestinal effects were the most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs). DLTs with 56-mg/m2 weekly dosing occurred in 1/5 patients; five patients had grade ≥ 2 abnormal LFT changes at 40- and 56-mg/m2 weekly doses. Further dose escalation ceased because of the possibility of severe abnormal LFT changes occurring. DLTs with weekly dosing with lead-in occurred in 1/5 patients at a 56-mg/m2 dose; MTD could not be determined because discontinuation criteria for additional enrollment at that particular dose level were met. As no further enrollment at lower doses occurred, dose escalation assessment was discontinued. Serious treatment-related AEs, AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, and DLTs were all related to abnormal LFT changes, suggesting that TAS4464 administration could affect liver function. This effect was dose-dependent but considered reversible. Complete or partial responses to TAS4464 were not observed; one patient achieved prolonged stable disease. Conclusions MTD could not be determined due to TAS4464 effects on liver function. Further evaluation of the mechanism of NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor-induced abnormal liver function is required.

Safety And Efficacy

3101 Background: IDO is an enzyme of interest in immuno-oncology because of the immunosuppressive effects that result from its role in tryptophan catabolism. Clinical trials of IDO inhibitors with immunotherapy are under active investigation. The addition of angiogenesis inhibitor may further enhance the anti-tumor immune responses. Here we report the safety and efficacy results of SHR9146 (IDO inhibitor) plus camrelizumab (PD-1 antibody) with/without apatinib (VEGFR-2 inhibitor) in patients (pts) with advanced solid cancers who failed standard antitumor therapies. Methods: This was an open-label, phase I study. Eligible puts would receive SHR9146 (escalated dose) plus camrelizumab (200 mg IV, q2w) alone (Cohort A) or in combination with apatinib (250 mg p.o. qd) (Cohort B). Each cohort was conducted according to a 3+3 dose escalation design. The starting dose of SHR9146 was 100mg bid, followed by 200, 400, 600 mg bid. The two primary endpoints were Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MDT). The secondary objective was to analysis the incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and efficacy. Results: As of Oct 31, 2020, 23 pts have been enrolled (Cohort A:14, Cohort B: 9; median age: 54 years; median prior therapies: 2 lines;). Cohort A was escalating at 600mg, and Cohort B was escalating at 400mg. Two pts experienced DLTs: one DLT (G4 hypercalcemia) was observed at 600mg in Cohort A; the other DLT (G3 rash) was observed at 400mg in Cohort B. MDT was not reached and the study was still ongoing. In Cohort A, ORR and DCR in evaluable pts were 21.4% (3/14, all confirmed) and 42.9% (6/14). Partial response was observed in 3 pts with liver cancer (1/3), renal cancer (1/3), and cervix cancer (1/3). In Cohort B, ORR and DCR in evaluable pts were 33.3%(3/9, all confirmed) and 77.8%(7/9). Partial response was observed in 3 pts with SCLC (1/3), prostate cancer (1/3) and renal cancer (1/3). The incidence of pts with TRAEs and grade>=3 TRAEs were 91.3% (21/23) and 39.1% (9/23) respectively. The most common grade>=3 TRAEs were hypercalcemia (26.1%, 6/23), fatigue (17.4%, 4/23) and nausea (13.0%, 3/23). No fatal AEs were observed. G3 nausea, G3 lipase increased and G2 GGT increased resulted in SHR9146 dose reduction in 3 pts (Cohort A). Conclusions: SHR9146 plus camrelizumab in combination with/without apatinib demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity with acceptable safety in pts with advanced solid tumors. Further study is needed to validate the efficacy and safety. Clinical trial information: NCT03491631.

2578 Background: CZ48, the 20-O-propionate ester of camptothecin (CPT), is a prodrug of CPT first described by Cao et al. in 1998. The side-chain is enzymatically cleaved in tissues. This gives rise to CPT, a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I. Methods: An open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation Phase I study was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CZ48 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Initial dosing started qd po 80mg/m2, advancing to 2560mg/m2 for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 days rest. Dosing was restarted in cohorts of 3 patients tid po at 18mg/m2 and escalated to 1g/m2on a 5 days on, 2 days off schedule for 28 days. Patients were prescreened by measuring CPT levels in plasma following a single pilot dose of CZ48. Dose was doubled until occurrence of at least Grade 2 adverse event, at which time 3+3 patient cohorts with a dose escalation of 33%-100% were implemented. DLT in 2/6 patients defined the MTD as the preceding DLT dose. PK parameters were measured prior to dosing, days 1-5, and day 28 of Cycle 1. Results: Poor absorption led to initial qd dosing reaching 2560mg/m2 with no signs of DLT. Subsequent tid dosing showed improved plasma levels and arrival at DLT. 34 patients were treated across 8 dose levels from 18 to 1000 mg/m2. The most frequent study-related adverse effects were cystitis, vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue. Grade IV toxicities observed were febrile neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Preliminary PK data in the qd dosing showed poor correlation between dose and Cmax or AUC, while PK in tid patients showed slightly improved correlation between dose and both CZ48 AUC (Pearson's correlation coefficient ϱ=0.476, p<0.01) and CZ48 Cmax(ϱ =0.51, p<0.01). Evidence of clinical activity with stable disease ≥ 6 months was observed in 2 heavily pre-treated colon and one breast cancer patient. Conclusions: The MTD of tid po CZ48 administered 5 days on, 2 days off of 28-day cycle is between 750 mg/m2 and 576 mg/m2. Overall toxicity is relatively mild, with DLT being cystitis and myelosuppression. Even with tid dosing, PK values correlate poorly to dose. A new formulation with 3-5 fold higher preclinical absorption values is being considered for introduction into the trial. Clinical trial information: NCT00947739.

Purpose To determine the dose of cetuximab that can be safely combined with irinotecan for treatment of pediatric and adolescent patients with refractory solid tumors. Patients and Methods This open-label, phase I study enrolled patients ages 1 to 18 years with advanced refractory solid tumors, including tumors of the CNS. Patient cohorts by age group (children, ages 1 to 12 years; adolescents, ages 13 to 18 years) received escalating weekly doses of cetuximab (75, 150, 250 mg/m2) in a 3 + 3 design, plus irinotecan (16 or 20 mg/m2/d) for 5 days for 2 consecutive weeks every 21 days. The primary end points were establishing the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase II dose (RPIID), and pharmacokinetics of the combination. Preliminary safety and efficacy data were also collected. Results Twenty-seven children and 19 adolescents received a median of 7.1 and 6.0 weeks of cetuximab therapy, respectively. Cetuximab 250 mg/m2 weekly plus irinotecan 16 mg/m2/d (pediatric) or 20 mg/m2/d (adolescent) have been established as the MTD/RPIID. Dose-limiting toxicities included diarrhea and neutropenia. Mild to moderate (grade 1 to 2) acneiform rash occurred in a majority of patients; no grade 3 to 4 rashes were observed. Cetuximab demonstrated dose-dependent clearance in both children and adolescents, similar to that in adults. There were two confirmed partial responses, both in patients with CNS tumors. Stable disease was achieved in 18 patients overall, including 10 patients with CNS tumors (38.5%). Conclusion The cetuximab/irinotecan combination can be given safely to children and adolescents with cancer. Promising activity, particularly in CNS tumors, warrants phase II evaluation of this regimen.

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.

3026 Background: Debio 0932 is an oral second-generation heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor that has shown extended tumor retention, blood-brain-barrier penetration, and promising anti-tumor activity both as monotherapy and combination against a broad range of tumors in pre-clinical models. Here we report the results of the dose escalation part of a phase I study in patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma (NCT01168752). Methods: This was an open-label, non-randomized, 3 + 3 dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Debio 0932 when given QD or Q2D during the first 30 days of treatment in patients with advanced solid tumours or lymphoma resistant to standard therapy. The starting dose in both treatment groups was 50mg. Doses were increased according to an algorithm based on observed toxicity and dose limiting toxicities (DLT). Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks. Results: Patient characteristics and results are summarized below. DLTs occurred at 1600mg in both dose groups. Adverse events (AE) were mostly CTCAE grade 1 or 2, with no apparent dose relationship. No ocular or cardiac toxicity was observed. The main reason for treatment withdrawal was progressive disease. Investigator-reported cases of SD and PR were observed. Conclusions: Debio 0932 mono-therapy was generally well tolerated and showed promising signs of efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors. The recommended phase II dose, established at 1000mg QD, will be tested in an additional 30 patients in an ongoing expansion study. A phase I-II study of Debio 0932 in combination with standard of care in the first- and second-line treatment of NSCLC is planned. [Table: see text]
