3125 Background: APG-1387 is a novel, bivalent small molecule IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) inhibitor. It has shown strong antitumor activities in multiple human xenograft cancer models. APG-1387 also acts as host immune modulator, supporting the notion that APG-1387 in combination with anti-PD1 antibody for cancer therapy. Methods: This study consists of two parts (NCT03386526). Part 1 is the dose escalation study of APG-1387 including a mPC (metastatic pancreatic cancer) cohort expansion. Part 2 is the dose escalation and cohort expansion study of APG-1387 in combination with pembrolizumab. APG-1387 is administrated IV for 30 minutes once weekly in a 21-day-cycle. Pembrolizumab is administrated at 200mg IV on day1 of a 21-day-cycle. The study objectives are to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy (assessed per RECIST v1.1 every 6 weeks). Results: Through Jan 4, 2019, total 23 patients had been treated in 4 cohorts of APG-1387 (20mg, 30mg, 45mg, 60mg). Two DLTs were observed at 60mg including lipase increase and Bell’s palsy, MTD was determined as 45mg. Nineteen of 23 patients experienced at least 1 TEAE. The most common TEAEs were nausea (21.7%), fatigue (17.4%), decreased appetite (13.0%), and abdominal pain (13.0%). Three grade 3 TEAEs including elevated bilirubin, lipase increase, and shortness of breath were documented at 45mg and 60mg. Three out of six mPC patients (one at 60mg, two at 45mg) achieved SD, one of them at 45mg has been treated > 5 cycles with confirmed SD (-18%). Two patients, who were treated with APG-1387 at 20mg in combination with pembrolizumab, had no DLT observed during the first cycle. Preliminary PK data of APG-1387 showed a dose proportionality in exposure (Cmax and AUC) over the dose range of 20-60 mg. Conclusions: APG-1387 was well tolerated and had manageable adverse events. The potential effects of APG-1387 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab deserve further exploration in patients with advanced solid tumors, especially in the mPC patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03386526.

PurposeLCL161 antagonizes the function of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), thereby promoting cancer cell death. This first-in-human dose-escalation study assessed the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of LCL161 in patients with advanced solid tumors. A second part of the study assessed the relative bioavailability of a tablet versus solution formulation.Patients and MethodsLCL161 was administered orally, once weekly, on a 21-day cycle to adult patients with advanced solid tumors by using an adaptive Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control–guided dose escalation.ResultsFifty-three patients received at least one dose of LCL161 (dose range, 10 to 3,000 mg). LCL161 was well tolerated at doses up to 1,800 mg. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was the only dose-limiting toxicity (in three [6%] of 53 patients) and was the most common grades 3 to 4 event (in five [9%] of 53 patients). Vomiting, nausea, asthenia/fatigue, and anorexia were common but not severe. Although the MTD was not formally determined, an 1,800-mg dose was selected in compliance with the protocol for additional study, given the dose-limiting CRS at higher doses and pharmacodynamic activity at lower doses. LCL161 was rapidly absorbed, and exposure was generally increased with dose. The tablet formulation of LCL161 was better tolerated than the solution; tablet and solution formulations had similar exposures, and the solution was discontinued. No patient had an objective response. LCL161 induced degradation of cellular IAP1 protein in the blood, skin, and tumor and increased circulating cytokine levels.ConclusionThe 1,800-mg dose of LCL161, administered as a single agent once weekly, in tablet formulation is the recommended dose for additional study. This combined dose and formulation was well tolerated and had significant pharmacodynamic activity, which warrants additional investigation.

3045 Background: AZD7762, a potent Chk1/Chk2 inhibitor, has been shown to enhance the antitumor activity of gemcitabine in xenograft models (Zabludoff SD et al. Mol Cancer Ther 2008;7:2955–66). Methods: This open-label dose-escalation study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy (RECIST) of AZD7762 alone and in combination with gemcitabine in Japanese patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors (NCT00937664). Pts received AZD7762 iv alone on days 1 and 8 of a 14-day cycle (Cycle 0), followed by AZD7762 plus gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles, in sequential ascending AZD7762 dose cohorts. Results: 20 pts (mean age 60 years) received AZD7762 at doses of 6 (n=3), 9 (3), 21 (6), and 30 mg (8). The most common primary tumor site was lung (n=14). All pts had received ≥1 prior chemotherapy and 18 had metastatic disease. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred in two of six evaluable pts (both 30 mg cohort): one, grade 3 (CTCAE, v3.0) elevated troponin T (Cycle 0; AZD7762 monotherapy); one, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated AST and ALT (Cycle 1; combination therapy). Thus, the 30 mg dose was regarded as non-tolerable. DLTs resolved following treatment discontinuation. The most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) in Cycle 0 (AZD7762 monotherapy) were bradycardia (50%), hypertension (25%) and fatigue (15%). Overall, the most common AEs were bradycardia (55%), neutropenia (45%), and hypertension, fatigue, and rash (30% each). AEs grade ≥3 were reported in 11 pts, the most common being neutropenia (45%) and leukopenia (25%). No pt died due to an AE. AZD7762 exposure (Cmax, AUC) increased in an approximately linear manner. Gemcitabine did not appear to affect AZD7762 PK. Arithmetic mean t½ and geometric mean CL of AZD7762 across the dose groups were 16.1–19.4 h and 22.0–32.7 L/h, respectively during the monotherapy cycle, and 15.6–18.3 h and 21.1–24.4 L/h, respectively in combination with gemcitabine. There were no objective responses; five pts (all lung cancer) had stable disease. Conclusions: The maximum tolerated dose of AZD7762 in combinationwith gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 was determined as 21 mg in Japanese pts.

3016 Background: BI 907828, a highly potent and orally administered MDM2-p53 antagonist, showed antitumor efficacy in vivo, especially in TP53 wild-type MDM2-amplified de-differentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) patient-derived xenografts and syngeneic models. Methods: NCT03449381 is a phase I study of BI 907828 in pts with solid tumors. The objectives of the dose-escalation part were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on the frequency of pts with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during cycle 1, determine the recommended dose for expansion, and evaluate the safety and tolerability of two dosing schedules: BI 907828 given on day 1 of 21-day cycles (Arm A) or days 1 and 8 of 28-day cycles (Arm B). Dose escalation was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model. The secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and antitumor activity. Results: At January 15, 2021, 54 pts with advanced solid tumors (median of 2 lines of prior systemic therapies; range 0–11) were treated with BI 907828 (Arm A, 29 pts, dose range 10–80 mg; Arm B, 25 pts, dose range 5–60 mg). In Arm A, 5 pts experienced DLTs in cycle 1, including one Grade (Gr) 3 Nausea and one Gr 3 Thrombocytopenia at 45 mg, one Gr 3 Enterocolitis at 60 mg, and one Gr 4 Neutropenia and one Gr 4 Thrombocytopenia at 80 mg. In Arm B, 3 DLTs were reported: one Gr 4 Thrombocytopenia at 45 mg, one Gr 4 Neutropenia associated with Gr 4 Thrombocytopenia, and one Gr 3 Neutropenia at 60 mg. The most common Gr 3/4 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were Thrombocytopenia (28.6%), Neutropenia (10.7%) and Nausea (10.7%) in Arm A, and Thrombocytopenia (16.6%) and Neutropenia (12.5%) in Arm B. Preliminary PK data indicate that BI 907828 reaches Tmax at 4–6 h. Mean plasma exposures (Cmax and AUC0-inf) increased with dose. The geometric mean (gMean) Clearance/F was 5–19 mL/min and the gMean apparent volume of distribution was 23–57 L. The gMean half-lives estimated after the 1st dose were 26–55 h. Inter-patient variability in exposure was moderate. An increase in the target engagement biomarker GDF-15 in plasma was observed. The mean fold-change from baseline ranged from 8 to 49. Antitumor activity was seen in both schedules. In Arm A, a confirmed PR was seen in 2 pts with MDM2-amplified LPS (one PR lasted > 2 years) and SD in 17 pts. In Arm B, 2 pts had PR (one confirmed in MDM2-amplified LPS and one not yet confirmed in MDM2-amplified pancreatic adenocarcinoma) and 14 had SD. Of note, 5 of 10 pts with DDLPS were progression-free for ≥9 months. Conclusions: BI 907828 showed a manageable safety profile, favorable PK properties and early signs of efficacy, especially in MDM2-amplified tumors. With both dosing regimens, DLTs were Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia. Non-hematologic AEs, mainly gastrointestinal, were mostly low-grade and not dose-limiting. The MTD of 60 mg in Arm A (day 1 of 21-day cycles) and 45 mg in Arm B (days 1 and 8 of 28-day cycles) are awaiting confirmation. Clinical trial information: NCT03449381.

Purpose This phase I dose-escalation study investigated the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, preliminary activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of BKM120, a potent and highly specific oral pan-Class I PI3K inhibitor. Patients and Methods Thirty-five patients with advanced solid tumors received daily BKM120 12.5 to 150 mg. Dose escalation was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control. Assessments included archival tumor molecular status, response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), positron emission tomography tracer uptake ([18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography [FDG-PET]), fasting plasma C-peptide, and phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 (pS6) in skin biopsies. Results Overall, treatment was well tolerated. Dose-limiting toxicities were grade 2 mood alteration (80 mg), grade 3 epigastralgia, grade 3 rash, grade 2 and grade 3 mood alteration (100 mg), and two grade 4 hyperglycemia (150 mg). The MTD was 100 mg/d. Frequent treatment-related adverse events included rash, hyperglycemia, diarrhea, anorexia, and mood alteration (37% each); nausea (31%); fatigue (26%); pruritus (23%); and mucositis (23%). BKM120 demonstrated rapid absorption, half-life of ∼40 hours, ∼three-fold steady-state accumulation, dose-proportional exposure, and moderate interpatient variability. One patient demonstrated a confirmed partial response (triple-negative breast cancer); seven patients (20%) were on study for ≥ 8 months. BKM120 demonstrated dose-dependent pharmacodynamic effects on [18F]FDG-PET, fasting C-peptide, fasting blood glucose, and pS6. No significant trends were seen to correlate tumor molecular alterations with clinical activity. Conclusion This study demonstrates feasibility and proof-of-concept of class I PI3K inhibition in patients with advanced cancers. BKM120, at the MTD of 100 mg/d, is safe and well tolerated, with a favorable PK profile, clear evidence of target inhibition, and preliminary antitumor activity.

3551 Background: AMG102 is a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody against HGF that prevents tumorigenesis in preclinical models through blockade of the HGF/c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase pathway. We describe interim results from the first-in-human study of AMG102. Methods: This ongoing phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study is evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary pharmacodynamics (PD) of AMG102 after single and multiple intravenous doses in pts with advanced solid tumors. Sequential dose cohorts of 4–6 pts were administered AMG102 at 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg. Pts received a single dose, followed by a 4-wk treatment- free period during which safety and PK were assessed. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was observed, treatment was resumed every 2 wks at the same dose until pts exhibited drug intolerance or disease progression. Results: As of 10 August 2006, 31 pts have been treated with AMG102 at doses up to 20 mg/kg ( Table ). AMG102 appears to be well tolerated. One pt with non-small cell lung cancer had a grade 3 DLT of dyspnea/hypoxia after the first dose (0.5 mg/kg); a second pt with pancreatic cancer had a grade 3 DLT/serious adverse event of gastrointestinal hemorrhage after the first dose (1 mg/kg). The most frequently reported, treatment-related adverse events (AEs) have been fatigue (13%), constipation (10%), anorexia (6%), nausea (6%), and vomiting (6%). No anti-AMG102 antibodies have been detected. Initial PK analysis indicates approximately linear PK in the dose range of 0.5 to 20 mg/kg. The overall mean (SD) [median] clearance and half-life estimates based on day-1 dosing were 12.1 (5.21) [10.7] mL/hr and 15.4 (5.84) [15.5] days, respectively. Tumor response is described ( Table ). Conclusions: In this study, interim results suggest that AMG102 at doses up to 20 mg/kg appears to be well-tolerated, with preliminary PK data supporting every-2-wk administration.

3015 Background: BPM 31510 is a novel small molecule that targets the metabolic machinery of the cancer microenvironment to reverse the aerobic glycolytic phenotype of cancer cells. Effector downstream signaling results in re-capitulation of BCL-2 mediated apoptosis and disruption in tumor vasculature by modulation of VEGF. (NR Narain et al., Proceedings of AACR Meeting Abstracts 2011). Methods: A standard 3+3 phase I, dose-escalation study design was used in patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard treatment. Primary objectives were establishment of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety/pharmacokinetic (PK) correlates. Secondary objectives included exploratory pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary efficacy (RECIST-1.1) of BPM 31510 in sequential cohorts of 3 to 6 pts. Results: At time of submission, 34 patients with advanced cancer who had failed multiple chemotherapeutic regimens had been enrolled in 7 dose cohorts (ranging from 5.6 mg/kg to 78.2 mg/kg). Patients received a median of 2 cycles (1-7). 2 patients have had grade 3 elevation in PT/INR, otherwise there have been no grade 3/4 treatment related toxicities to date. The pharmacokinetics of BPM 31510 are linear and there were no sex differences in the parameters normalized by dose and body surface area. Tmax and Cmax are associated with the end of the infusion. The values for t1/2 ranged from 2.18 to 13.3 hr, with little or no dependence of t1/2 on dose. Objective tumor responses have been noted at the dose of 58.6mg/kg with 1 partial response (myxoid liposarcoma) and 1 minor response (pleomorphic sarcoma). Six patients (19%) have had disease stabilization (> 4 months). Conclusions: Interim data from this phase I study indicate that BPM 31510 is well tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities to date. A partial response and minor response were observed and correlates with dose escalation. Taken together, there is strong rationale for further clinical development of this compound as an anti-cancer agent.

3611 Background: TP-1287 is a an orally bioavailable phosphate prodrug of alvocidib, a cyclin dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor. TP-1287 exhibits potent inhibition of intracellular kinases including CDK9. Inhibition of CDK9 leads to downregulation of the BCL-2 family member, MCL-1, which in turn inhibits tumor growth in preclinical animal models of prostate, breast, and lung carcinomas. Methods: This is a multicenter, Phase 1, dose escalation study using a standard 3+3 design with a modified Fibonacci scheme to examine the safety and clinical activity of TP-1287 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be added at the maximum tolerated dose (i.e. expansion cohort) to test TP-1287 as a single agent in patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer. Results: Twenty-two patients who were enrolled between December 2018 and January 2020 received a range of doses from 1 mg QD to 11 mg BID over 7 cohorts. Data are available for 20 patients as of the data cutoff date. TP-1287 plasma PK Cmax and AUC increased in near linear fashion over cohorts 1 thru 6, reaching 80 ng/mL and 499.3 ng*h/mL in cohort 6 for Cmax and AUC, respectively. TP-1287 treatment resulted in dose-dependent reductions of phospho-RNA Pol II, consistent with CDK9 inhibition, as measured by a flow cytometric assay assessing pharmacodynamic changes in phosphorylation state in PBMCs. The most frequently observed Grade 3 AE was unrelated anemia in 2 patients. All other events of Grade 3 (9 events/7 patients) and Grade 4 (1 event/seizure with new CNS mets) were unlikely related or unrelated. Clinical benefit was seen in one sarcoma patient with PR (15+cycles), one RCC patient with SD (7+cycles) and 2 bladder cancer patients with SD (6 and 8 cycles). Conclusions: These findings suggest that TP-1287 is tolerated as a monotherapy in patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed, refractory solid tumors and further clinical development in selected indications is warranted.

10027 Background: Deregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway occurs in many poor prognosis childhood malignancies and inhibition of this pathway is a promising novel therapeutic strategy. Ridaforolimus (MK-8669) is a highly selective orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of mTOR. This multi-centre, phase I dose escalation study of orally administered Ridaforolimus was designed to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety profile, pharmacokinetic profile (PK), antitumor activity and pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers (phosphorylated Akt [pAkt] in platelet-rich plasma). Methods: Patients (pts) from 6 to <18 years (yrs) with advanced solid tumors were enrolled. Dose escalation was by a modified Toxicity Probability Intervals method (mTPI, Ji Y, et al. Clin Trials 2007) targeting a 30% dose limiting toxicity (DLT) ratio. Pts received 28 day cycles of Ridaforolimus (MK-8669), orally, five days out of seven. Dosing started at 22 mg/m2, escalated to 28 and 33 mg/m2, with an expansion cohort treated at the maximum administered dose. Results: 19 pts, age 8-17 (median 13.5 years), were enrolled and 18 treated from 6 international sites. Diagnoses included ependymoma (5), osteosarcoma (3), Ewings sarcoma (3) and other histologies (7). Four pts received dose level (DL) 1; 3 DL 2 and 11 DL 3. Pts received between 1-12+ courses. There was only one DLT (DL 2: grade 3 elevated alanine transaminase [ALT]) and no other grade 3-4 treatment-related toxicities. Preliminary analysis shows the most frequent drug-related adverse events were manageable grade 1-2 stomatitis (70.6%) and fatigue (52%). Dose escalation stopped at DL3 (33 mg/m2, 150% of the adult recommended phase 2 dose [RP2D]). There were no objective responses by RECIST1.1. Two pts remain on study, with continuing stable disease (pineoblastoma [12 courses], diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma [6 courses]). PK and PD analyses will be presented. Conclusions: Ridaforolimus is a safe and well tolerated, orally bioavailable mTOR inhibitor. The RP2D for Ridaforolimus in children is 33 mg/m2. Prolonged disease stabilization was observed in two patients. PK/PD data will provide further data to support the RP2D. Further combination studies are warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01431547.

3019 Background: Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) methylates multiple substrates known to be dysregulated in cancer, including components of the spliceosome machinery. PF-06939999 is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of PRMT5. Here we report the safety, PK, PD, and preliminary activity of PF-06939999 in patients (pts) with selected advanced/metastatic solid tumors. Methods: This phase 1 dose escalation trial (NCT03854227) enrolled pts with solid tumor types marked by potential frequent splicing factor mutations, including advanced/metastatic endometrial cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), urothelial cancer, cervical cancer, or esophageal cancer. PF-06939999 monotherapy was continuously administered orally QD or BID in 28-day cycles. A Bayesian Logistic Regression Model was used to inform dose level decisions. Primary objectives were to assess dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), AEs and laboratory abnormalities. Tumor response was assessed using RECIST v1.1. PK and PD were assessed by determining PF-06939999 plasma concentration after dosing and changes in plasma levels of symmetric di-methyl arginine (SDMA), the product of PRMT5 enzymatic activity. Results: 28 pts received PF-06939999 at doses from 0.5-12 mg daily (QD or BID) during dose escalation. Median number of cycles was 2 (range, 1-13). Most were female (54%) with a median age of 61.5 (range, 32-84) y. Median number of prior therapies was 4. Overall, 4/24 (17%) pts reported DLTs: thrombocytopenia (n=2, 6 mg BID); anemia (n=1, 8 mg QD); and neutropenia (n=1, 6 mg QD). Treatment-related AEs occurred in 24 (86%) pts. Most common (≥20%) treatment-related AEs across all cycles were anemia (43%), thrombocytopenia (32%), dysgeusia, fatigue and nausea (29% each). Grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs included anemia (25%), thrombocytopenia (21%), fatigue, neutropenia and lymphocyte count decreased (4% each). One pt (6mg BID) had Grade 4 treatment-related thrombocytopenia. All cytopenias were dose-dependent and reversible with dose modification. No pts discontinued treatment for treatment-related toxicity. There were no treatment-related deaths. Exposure to PF-06939999 increased with doses in the dose range tested. Plasma SDMA was reduced at steady state (58.4-87.5%), indicating robust PD target inhibition. Two pts had confirmed partial response (HNSCC and NSCLC). 6 mg QD was identified as the recommended monotherapy dose for expansion. Conclusions: PF-06939999 showed dose-dependent and manageable toxicities in this phase 1 dose escalation study. Objective tumor responses were observed in pts with HNSCC and NSCLC. Analysis of archival tissue for the presence of splicing factor mutations and other potential predictive biomarkers is ongoing. Enrollment to part 2 dose expansion is ongoing in pts with NSCLC, HNSCC and urothelial cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT03854227.
