9093 Background: The immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy of JNJ-757, a live attenuated, double-deleted Listeria monocytogenes-based immunotherapy expressing human mesothelin (MSLN), were evaluated in patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) as monotherapy (phase 1) and in combination with nivolumab (phase 1b/2). Methods: Adult pts with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who had received prior systemic therapy (including 1 platinum-based chemotherapy, prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy allowed) were included. Dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events (AEs), tumor response, T cell response, and JNJ-757 bacterial shedding profile were evaluated in pts treated with JNJ-757 (108 or 109 colony forming units [CFU]) alone or JNJ-757 (109 CFU)+nivolumab 240 mg combination therapy until progression. Results: In the monotherapy trial, 18 pts (median age 63.5 years; women 61%) were treated with JNJ-757 108 or 109 CFU with a median duration of 1.4 months (range 0-29). Most common AEs were pyrexia (72%) and chills (61%), which were usually mild and resolved within 48 hours, suggesting transient activation of an innate immune response to JNJ-757. Treatment-related grade ≥3 AEs were infrequent (4 [22%]). Induction of peripheral proinflammatory cytokines and lymphocyte activation was observed post-treatment with transient MSLN-specific T cell responses in 10/13 evaluable pts, consistent with the mechanism of action of JNJ-757. With monotherapy, 4/18 response-evaluable pts had stable disease (SD) ≥16 weeks, including 1 pt with a 53% reduction in target lesions. In the combination therapy study, 12 pts were enrolled (median age 63.5 years; women 33%). The most common AEs were pyrexia (67%) and chills (58%); 6 pts had grade ≥3 AEs including 2 cases of treatment-related fatal pneumonitis. Best overall response for the combination was SD in 4/9 evaluable pts. JNJ-757 in combination with nivolumab suggested increased risk of pneumonitis. Conclusions: As monotherapy, JNJ-757 was tolerable with mild infusion-related fever and chills supporting the initiation of the combination therapy study. However, the risk-benefit profile of JNJ-757+nivolumab, did not support proceeding to phase 2. Clinical trial information: NCT02592967, NCT03371381.

8518 Background: Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) are pivotal in cell signaling and regulate a variety of cellular functions relevant to oncogenesis. IPI-145, a potent oral inhibitor of the PI3KEδ and PI3K-γ isoforms, is in clinical development for patients (pts) with hematologic malignancies. Early results in pts with relapsed/refractory lymphoma from an ongoing Phase 1 study are reported here. Methods: This dose-escalation study evaluates the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), clinical activity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IPI-145. Expansion cohorts (EC) < MTD are allowed. IPI-145 is given orally twice daily (BID) in 28-day cycles. Tumor response is based on standard disease-specific criteria. Results: 55 pts have been dosed with IPI-145. PK, available through 50 mg BID, are linear with complete inhibition of PI3K-δ at doses > 15 mg BID and increasing suppression of PI3K-γ with increasing dose. In the 36 pts with lymphoma who received 15 mg to 75 mg BID, the median [range] number of cycles was 2.4 [0.1–10] and 67% remain on study. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 50% of pts with lymphoma. Neutropenia and increased ALT were the most common ≥ Grade 3 TRAEs (4 pts each) and were not associated with increasing dose. > Grade 3 ALT elevations were more common in lymphoma pts (18%) compared to non-lymphoma pts (5%). Among evaluable pts with lymphoma (n=27), early clinical activity was observed in T-cell (n=6, 1 CR, 1 PR, 1 SD) and aggressive/indolent B-cell (n=21, 2 CR, 9 PR, 5 SD) lymphoma pts at ≤ 75 mg BID. 92% of responses were observed by 3 months. Conclusions: IPI-145 appeared well tolerated and has shown clinical activity in pts with relapsed/refractory advanced B- and T-cell lymphoma across the range of doses examined. The single agent MTD has not been determined and dose escalation continues. Updated safety and efficacy data from pts with lymphoma enrolled in dose escalation or ECs evaluating 25 mg BID and a higher dose (< MTD) of IPI-145 will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT01476657.

58 Background: JNJ-63723283 (JNJ-283), an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibody, enhances T cell-mediated cytokine induction and reduces tumor volume in preclinical models. A phase 1/2 study is ongoing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of JNJ-283 in patients (pts) with advanced cancers. Methods: Eligible pts have advanced or refractory solid tumor malignancies. Phase 1 dose escalation starting from 80 mg Q2W was supported by a modified continual reassessment method to identify the recommended phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D). Safety and efficacy of the RP2D(s) will be evaluated in phase 2. Pharmacokinetics (PK), receptor occupancy (RO) and other pharmacodynamic parameters were assessed. Results: As of data cut-off, 32 pts were treated with JNJ-283 80 mg (n = 4), 240 mg (n = 16) or 460 mg (n = 4) Q2W, or 480 mg (n = 8) Q4W; 16 pts remain on study drug. Median duration of treatment was 58 days (range 16 – 240). Median age was 56 years (range 27 - 80) and median prior lines of therapy was 3 (range 1 - 12). One dose-limiting toxicity of grade 3 pleural effusion was reported at 240 mg Q2W. An RP2D of 240 mg Q2W is being evaluated in phase 2. Most common adverse events (AEs) were anemia (28.1%), hypertension (28.1%), diarrhea (21.9%) and hyponatremia (21.9%). Observed serious AEs were pleural effusion, pneumonia and chest pain (6.3% each). Infusion-related AEs of nausea and rash occurred in 6.3% of pts each. Immune-related AEs (irAEs) were reported in 21.8% of pts and were mostly grade 1-2; grade 3 irAEs included pleural effusion, pneumonitis, AST increased and ALT increased. One pt discontinued treatment due to a treatment-related AE. Three pts achieved a partial response at 240 mg Q2W; 18 pts achieved stable disease or better. Preliminary serum JNJ-283 concentrations demonstrated linear PK with dose-proportional increases and interpatient variability generally consistent with monoclonal antibody therapeutics. Preliminary circulating T cell RO demonstrated dose-independent saturation. Conclusions: JNJ-283 displayed a well-tolerated safety profile with preliminary antitumor activity in pts with advanced cancers. The trial is ongoing to further characterize the safety, PK and clinical activity of JNJ-283. Clinical trial information: 2016-002017-22.

e16509 Background: The safety and immunogenicity of JNJ-64041809 (JNJ-809), a live attenuated, double-deleted Listeria monocytogenes (LADD- Lm)-based immunotherapy targeting relevant prostate cancer antigens, was evaluated in a phase 1, multicenter, open-label study in patients (pts) with mCRPC. Methods: Men aged ≥18 years with progressive mCRPC who had received ≥2 prior approved therapies were included. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the safety and immunogenicity of JNJ-809 were evaluated. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), adverse events (AEs), T cell response, tumor response, and JNJ-809 bacterial shedding profile were assessed at 2 dose levels, 1 x 108 and 1 x 109 colony forming units (CFU). Results: 26 pts (median age 66.5 years, White 96%) were enrolled (1 x 108 CFU, n = 6; 1 x 109 CFU, n = 20). Median duration of treatment was 2.5 months (range 0-9.7). No DLTs occurred and 1 x 109 CFU was selected as the RP2D. Most common AEs were chills (n = 24, 92%), pyrexia (n = 21, 81%), and fatigue (n = 16, 62%). Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 18 (69%) pts and serious AEs in 7 (27%) pts including 1 pt with investigator-assessed treatment-related grade 3 intestinal obstruction. At 1 x 108 CFU, all pts had negative blood cultures. At 1 x 109 CFU, 6 pts had LADD- Lm-positive blood cultures on day 1; blood cultures on all subsequent days were negative. JNJ-809 transiently induced peripheral cytokines including interferon-γ, interleukin-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Of 7 evaluable pts (1 x 109 CFU), post-treatment T cell responses were demonstrated in 6 pts to the Listeria antigen LLO and in 5 pts to ≥1 of the 4 encoded tumor antigens. Best overall response was stable disease (SD) in 13/25 evaluable pts with SD ≥16 weeks in 4 pts. The study was terminated early as the data collected from 26 pts were considered sufficient to evaluate safety and immune responses. Conclusions: JNJ-809 has a manageable safety profile consistent with that of other LADD- Lm-based therapies. Observed activation of immune responses with monotherapy did not translate into clinical activity, and further development of JNJ-809 will likely require a combination approach. Clinical trial information: NCT02625857.

TPS41 Background: Lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) is an immune checkpoint receptor with a biological role in T-cell regulation. Analysis of immune-cell infiltrates from human tumors show that a subset of CD4+ and/or CD8+ cells co-express LAG-3 and PD-1 and may be associated with decreased T-cell effector function and tumor escape (Baitsch, 2011; Jie, 2013). Preclinical models provide evidence that dual inhibition of LAG-3 and PD-1 blockade offer synergistic anti-tumor effects and suggest a promising immunotherapy combination that warrants clinical investigation (Woo, 2012). This first in human study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of REGN3767 alone and in combination with cemiplimab in advanced malignancies. Methods: Phase 1 study enrolling patients with advanced malignancies. Dose escalation phase employs a modified 3+3 (4+3) design to assess the tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of REGN3767 monotherapy and in combination with cemiplimab. Monotherapy and combination therapy are exploring multiple escalating REGN3767 dose levels. After tolerability and PK evaluation, doses of REGN3767 will be selected for monotherapy and combination therapy tumor-specific expansion cohorts. Solid tumor expansion cohorts will enroll per Simon’s two-stage design to evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy. Lymphoma expansion cohorts will enroll 15 patients. Patients who are anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy naïve and experienced are eligible for separate cohorts. Patients previously exposed to anti-LAG-3 therapy are not eligible. The primary objectives are the determination of the recommended dose for expansion (dose escalation) and ORR (dose expansion). Secondary objectives include characterization of PK and immunogenicity in all patients, as well as anti-tumor efficacy in dose escalation, and safety in dose expansion. This trial is actively enrolling eligible patients in the US, UK, Ireland, and South Korea. 1. Baitsch L et al. J Clin Investig. 2011;121:2350–2360. 2. Jie HB et al.

9515 Background: Fianlimab and cemiplimab are two high-affinity, fully human, hinge-stabilized IgG4 monoclonal antibodies. In a Phase 1 dose escalation study, fianlimab combined with cemiplimab showed an acceptable safety profile and some clinical activity in pts with advanced malignancies. Here, we present safety and clinical activity data from two expansion cohorts of pts with advanced melanoma (anti–programmed cell death/ligand-1 [anti–PD-(L)1] naïve or experienced) who were treated with fianlimab + cemiplimab and had an opportunity for first on-treatment tumor assessment (cut-off date: Jan 4, 2021). Methods: Pts with advanced melanoma who had no prior anti–PD-(L)1 treatment (naïve) or prior anti–PD-(L)1 treatment within 3 months of screening (experienced) received fianlimab 1600 mg + cemiplimab 350 mg by IV infusion every 3 weeks. Tumor measurements were performed every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks and subsequently every 9 weeks per RECIST v1.1. Results: 48 pts with advanced melanoma were treated with the combination therapy: 33 were anti–PD-(L)1 naïve and 15 were anti–PD-(L)1 experienced (median age: 69 years vs 59 years; male: 66.7% vs 46.7%; Caucasian: 87.9% vs 60%). The safety profile (including immune-related adverse events [AEs]) of fianlimab + cemiplimab combination therapy was similar to that of anti–PD-1 monotherapy with one exception. The rate of adrenal insufficiency, 8.3% (4/48) of pts, is similar to the rate previously observed with anti–PD-1 + anti–cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) combination therapy but higher than that observed with anti–PD-1 monotherapy. Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) occurred in 35.4% (17/48) of patients; Grade ≥3 serious TEAEs occurred in 22.9% (11/48) of patients; 8.3% (4/48) of patients discontinued treatment due to a TEAE. The most common TEAEs were fatigue (n = 15, 31.3%) and rash (n = 11, 22.9%). By investigator assessment, objective response rate (includes unconfirmed complete [CR] and partial responses [PR]) was 63.6% (3 CRs and 18 PRs) for anti–PD-(L)1 naïve pts and 13.3% (1 CR and 1 PR) for anti–PD-(L)1 experienced pts. Median progression-free survival and median duration of response for the anti–PD-(L)1 treatment naïve cohort have not been reached. Prognostic clinical markers and tumor biomarkers such as expression of LAG-3, PD-L1, and major histocompatibility complex II are being evaluated. Recruitment is ongoing. Conclusions: The safety profile of fianlimab + cemiplimab is similar to that observed with cemiplimab monotherapy and other anti–PD-1s, with the exception of higher rate of adrenal insufficiency. Fianlimab + cemiplimab combination has shown clinical activity for pts with advanced melanoma that is similar to anti–PD-1 + CTLA-4 combination therapy, but with lower demonstrated rates of TEAEs. Clinical trial information: NCT03005782.

ZUMA-3 is a phase 1/2 study evaluating KTE-X19, an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in adult relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-ALL. We report the phase 1 results. Following fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion, patients received a single infusion of KTE-X19 at 2, 1, or 0.5×106 cells/kg. The rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) within 28 days following KTE-X19 infusion was the primary endpoint. KTE-X19 was manufactured for 54 enrolled patients and administered to 45 (median age: 46 years [range, 18-77]). No DLTs occurred in the DLT-evaluable cohort. Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurologic events (NE) occurred in 31% and 38% of patients, respectively. To optimize the benefit-risk ratio, revised adverse event (AE) management for CRS and NE (earlier steroid use for NE and tocilizumab only for CRS) was evaluated at 1×106 cells/kg KTE-X19. In the 9 patients treated under revised AE management, 33% had grade 3 CRS and 11% had grade 3 NE, with no grade 4/5 NE. The overall complete remission rate correlated with CAR T-cell expansion and was 83% in patients treated with 1×106 cells/kg and 69% in all patients. Minimal residual disease was undetectable in all responding patients. At 22.1 months (range, 7.1-36.1) median follow-up, the median duration of remission was 17.6 months (95% CI, 5.8-17.6) in patients treated with 1×106 cells/kg and 14.5 months (95% CI, 5.8-18.1) in all patients. KTE-X19 treatment provided a high response rate and tolerable safety in adults with R/R B-ALL. Phase 2 is ongoing at 1×106 cells/kg with revised AE management.

AbstractOBJECTIVETo describe the patient burden and benefit, and the dynamics of trial success in the development of ixabepilone—a drug that was approved in the US but not in Europe.DATA SOURCESTrials were captured by searching Embase and MEDLINE on July 27, 2015.STUDY SELECTIONInclusion: 1) primary trial reports, 2) interventional trials, 3) human subjects, 4) phase 1 to phase 3, 5) trials of ixabepilone in monotherapy or combination therapy of 6) pre-licensure cancer indications. Exclusion: 1) secondary reports, 2) interim results, 3) meta-analyses, 4) retrospective/observational studies, 5) laboratory analyses (ex vivo tissues), 6) reviews, 7) letters, editorials, guidelines, interviews, abstract-only and poster presentations.DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESISData were independently double-extracted and differences between coders were reconciled by discussion.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESWe measured risk using the number of drug-related adverse events that were grade 3 or higher, benefit by objective response rate and trial outcomes by whether studies met their primary endpoint with acceptable safety.RESULTSWe identified 39 publications of ixabepilone monotherapy and 23 primary publications of combination therapy, representing 5615 patients and 1598 patient-years of involvement over 11 years and involving 17 different malignancies. In total, 830 patients receiving ixabepilone experienced objective tumour response (16%, 95% CI 12.5%–20.1%), and 74 died from drug-related toxicites (2.2%, 95% CI 1.6%–2.9%). Responding indications and combinations were identified very quickly; thereafter, the search for additional responding indications or combinations did not lead to labelling additions. A total of 11 “uninformative” trials were found, representing 27% of studies testing efficacy, 208 grade 3–4 events and 226 patient-years of involvement (21% and 26% of the portfolio total, respectively). After the European Medicines Agency rejected ixabepilone for licensing, all further trial activity involving ixabepilone was pursued outside of Europe.DISCUSSIONRisk/benefit for patients who enrolled in trials of non-approved indications of ixabepilone did not improve over the course of the drug’s development. Clinical value was discovered very quickly; however, a large fraction of trials were uninformative.

BackgroundCFI-402411 is an orally available small molecule potent inhibitor of HPK1 (Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1). T-cells are negatively-regulated at different junctures of cancer-immunity cycle by this regulatory kinase. HPK1, (also mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1)) is a protein serine/threonine kinase predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells. In T-cells, following T-cell receptor activation, HPK1 is recruited to the plasma membrane where it phosphorylates the adapter protein SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa (SLP-76), down-regulating signaling events required for T cell activation and proliferation. Selected for development based on its pharmacologic properties and preclinical activity in a variety of syngeneic cancer models and assays, with an IC50 = 4.0±1.3 nM, CFI-402411 is expected to relieve HPK1-mediated inhibition of T and B cells, facilitating an anti-tumor immune response.MethodsPhase 1, 3 + 3 design in patients. Patients have acceptable laboratory, other parameters for study entry. Single agent dose daily oral escalation cohort (A1) in advanced tumors, then dose expansion (A3) with biomarker backfill (A2) in select advanced tumors; combination with PD-1 Inhibitor (pembrolizumab) (B1, pembrolizumab eligible tumors with no prior grade >=3 related to CPI)) and expansion (B2, PD-1/PD-L1 naïve pembrolizumab eligible tumors). DLT defined as any grade >=3 toxicity in first cycle of therapy (21d cycles). Standard assessments for response per RECIST v1.1 or iRECIST. The starting dose level was 80mg.ResultsAt 10 June 2021 data is available for 12 patients from A1. Median age 61.5 years (range 33–73), 8 patients female, and 10 white. Diagnoses were pancreatic cancer, colorectal (3 pts), ovarian, basal cell, cholangiocarcinoma, sigmoid, salivary and breast cancer (1 pt). Six patients (50%) had 4 prior therapies, 1 patient (basal cell) had prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab. Four doses studied: 80, 120, 180 and 270mg. TEAEs across all CTCAE grades, (in >2 patients) were diarrhea (6 patients), nausea (4 patients), dyspepsia (3 patients), fatigue (3 patients). No related grade 3–5 events, one immune related event (grade 1, weight loss). 3 grade 3 events all unrelated to study drug - pleural effusion, rash, thromboembolic event. Discontinuation due to disease progression was main reason (7 patients). PK and PD assessments will be updated at time of presentation.ConclusionsCFI-402411 is a potent inhibitor of HPK1 that is well tolerated with a manageable adverse event profile and dose escalations continue. Further safety and efficacy results will be presented at the meeting including additional cohorts if available.AcknowledgementsTreadwell Therapeutics thanks all sites, importantly their patients and their families.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04521413Ethics ApprovalThis study obtained has obtained ethics approvals at multiple institutions globally including;USAWCG IRB - Western Institutional Review Board - MOD00002618 (Submission ID)IntegReview Institutional Review Board - N/AAdvarra Central IRB - SSU00130103IntegReview Institutional Review Board N/AAdvarra Central IRB - SSU00137751Advarra Central IRB - SSU00143275The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Institutional Review Board - 2020–0678 (IRB ID Number)Hong KongJoint Chinese University of Hong Kong - New Territories East Cluster Clinical Research Ethics Committee - 2020.367 (Ref Number)CanadaOntario Cancer Research Ethics Board - 3320 (Project ID)Health Research Ethics Board of Alberta, HREBA Cancer Committee - HREBA.CC-20–0504 (Ethics ID Number)South KoreaimCORE - Seoul National University Hospital Institutional Review Board - H-2012-094-1182 (IRB Number)National Cancer Institute Review Board - 2020–0525–0001 (Receipt Number)All participants gave informed consent before taking part in this clinical trial.

Abstract Abstract 919 Background: Pralatrexate enters cancer cells via the reduced folate carrier-1 (RFC-1) and is efficiently polyglutamated by folylpolyglutamyl synthetase (FPGS), leading to high intracellular retention. In a Phase 1/2 study of patients with hematologic malignancies, pralatrexate demonstrated activity in aggressive T-cell lymphoma with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 30 mg/m2 once weekly for 6 of 7 weeks. The generally indolent course of CTCL may be better treated at lower doses in a maintenance fashion if a lower incidence and severity of adverse events can be achieved while preserving activity. PDX-010 is an open-label, single-agent, multicenter, Phase 1 dose-reduction trial in patients with relapsed or refractory CTCL. The primary objective is to identify an optimal dose and schedule of pralatrexate for these patients. Methods: Eligibility included mycosis fungoides (MF), Sézary syndrome (SS), and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL); with disease progression after at least 1 prior systemic therapy. The pralatrexate dose and schedule started at 30 mg/m2 by IV push on 3 of 4 weeks and subsequent cohorts received reduced doses (20, 15, 10 mg/m2) and/or schedules (3/4 or 2/3 weeks) of pralatrexate based on tolerability. All patients received supplementation with vitamin B12 1 mg intramuscularly every 8-10 weeks and folic acid 1 mg orally once daily. As we sought a well tolerated regimen the definition of DLTs to trigger dose reduction included toxicities such as grade ≥ 3 neutropenia, grade ≥ 2 thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, grade ≥ 2 mucositis/stomatitis, and any toxicity leading to dose omission or reduction in cycle 1. If DLT occurred and a response was seen, the following cohort was opened at the next lower dose or next less frequent schedule. Response was evaluated by modified severity-weighted adjustment tool (SWAT) every 2 cycles for 6 months and then every 4 cycles. For patients with lymph node involvement, scans were completed at baseline and upon clinical response or end of treatment, whichever occurred first. Results: Thirty-one patients received pralatrexate, with 18 (58%) men and median age of 57 yrs (range, 30-81). Patients had received a median of 6 prior therapies (range, 1-25). Cohorts at the following doses/schedules were enrolled: 30 mg/m2 x 3/4 weeks (n=2), 20 mg/m2 x 3/4 weeks (n=3), 20 mg/m2 x 2/3 weeks (n=7), 15 mg/m2 x 3/4 weeks (n=6), 15 mg/m2 x 2/3 weeks (n=3), and 10 mg/m2 x 3/4 weeks (n=10). Patients received pralatrexate for a median of 72 days (range, 7-491+); 4 patients received >10 cycles of treatment. The most common treatment-related adverse events (all grades) were mucositis (18 patients [58%]), nausea (14 patients [45%]), fatigue (14 patients [45%]), pyrexia (7 patients [23%]), vomiting (6 patients [19%]), anemia (6 patients [19%]), and edema (5 patients [16%]). Grade 3-4 treatment-related toxicities in >1 patient each were mucositis (4 patients [13%]) and anemia (2 patients [6%]). Mucositis was dose limiting (≥ grade 2) in 8 patients (26%). A total of 11 responses were observed, including 2 complete responses and 9 partial responses. In the 18 patients who received pralatrexate at a dose intensity of 15 mg/m2 x 3/4 weeks or greater, the objective response rate was 56% (10/18 patients). This appeared to be the threshold dose for substantial activity in CTCL, below which the incidence of responses decreased in this dose de-escalation trial. Conclusion: Pralatrexate shows impressive activity in the treatment of relapsed CTCL. The optimal dose and schedule that provided activity with tolerability for CTCL was determined to be pralatrexate 15 mg/m2 weekly on 3 of 4 weeks. This cohort is being expanded to better assess efficacy and durability. Disclosures: Horwitz: Allos Therapeutics, Inc: Consultancy, Research Funding. Duvic:Allos Therapeutics, Inc.: Research Funding.

Abstract Abstract 3663 Introduction: Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) play pivotal roles in cell signaling and regulate a variety of cellular functions relevant to oncogenesis. Impaired development and function of B and T lymphocytes has been demonstrated in PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoform knockout mice, supporting the development of PI3K-δ,γ specific inhibitors for B- and T-cell lymphoid malignancies. IPI-145 is a potent PI3K-δ,γ inhibitor in clinical development for patients (pts) with hematologic malignancies. The activity of IPI-145 via PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoform inhibition has been characterized in biochemical and cellular assays and demonstrated in preclinical models of B- and T-cell mediated disease. Early results of the Phase 1 study in pts with advanced hematologic malignancies are reported here. Methods and Patients: This Phase 1 dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and activity of orally administered IPI-145 in pts with advanced hematologic malignancies, including T-cell lymphomas/leukemias. Sequential cohorts of pts are enrolled at progressively higher dose levels with expansion cohorts of pts with select hematologic malignancies. IPI-145 is administered orally 2 times per day (BID) continuously in 28-day cycles. Tumor response is evaluated based on disease-specific standard criteria. Results: As of 16 July 2012, the study had enrolled 20 pts; 5 pts with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL), 4 with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL), 3 with aggressive B-cell NHL [including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) n=2 and Richter's transformation n=1], 3 with multiple myeloma (MM), 2 with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), 2 with T-cell lymphoma [anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) n=2] and 1 with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Of these pts, 11 are male and 9 female, with a median [range] age of 63 years [30–81], with 36% <6 month from most recent prior systemic therapy. The median [range] number of prior therapies was 3 [1–8]. IPI-145 doses administered include 8 mg BID (n=1), 15 mg BID (n=6), 25 mg BID (n=7), 35 mg BID (n=3), and 50 mg BID (n=3). The median [range] number of treatment cycles was 2 [1–8], with 12 (60%) pts continuing on treatment. Adverse events (AEs) have occurred in 13 (65%) pts, including 7 (35%) pts with AEs Grade ≥3. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 11 pts (55%) with Grade ≥3 occurring in 5 pts (25%). Grade 4 neutropenia was the one dose limiting toxicity observed to date (15 mg dose cohort). New Grade ≥3 hematological laboratory abnormalities included neutropenia [n= 6 (30%)] and thrombocytopenia [n= 1 (5%)]. Grade 3 ALT/AST elevations occurred in 1 (5%) MM pt with onset 6 weeks after IPI-145 initiation. Preliminary PK show dose-proportional increases in plasma Cmax and AUC over the dose range studied. Further, the PK and initial pharmacodynamic (PD) data from the first 3 cohorts (8–25 mg BID) predict continuous suppression of the PI3K-δ pathway with increasing inhibition of the PI3K-γ pathway with a 25 mg BID dose or greater. In the evaluable pts (n=11), responses were observed at the 8, 15, and 25 mg BID dose levels including 2/3 CLL/SLL pts (0 CR/2 PR/1 SD), 1/2 iNHL pts (1 CR/0 PR/1 SD), and 1/1 in MCL (1 PR). No responses have been observed to date in evaluable pts with MM (0/3) or aggressive NHL (0/2). All pts with at least SD after 2 cycles (n=6) remain on treatment including the first pt dosed. Based on the PK/PD and the preliminary activity observed in pts with CLL, iNHL and MCL, an expansion cohort is enrolling pts in these select hematologic diseases dosed at 25 mg BID to further evaluate the safety and preliminary activity of IPI-145. Dose escalation continues with a focus on pts with T-cell malignancies and DLBCL where increasing suppression of the PI3K-γ isoform may improve the efficacy profile. Additional expansion cohorts in T-cell lymphoma, DLBCL, myeloproliferative neoplasms and the acute leukemias will better define disease specific activity. Conclusions: IPI-145, an oral, potent PI3K-δ,γ inhibitor, appears to be well tolerated and has shown initial clinical activity in pts with iNHL, MCL, and CLL. A dose of 25 mg BID effectively inhibits PI3K-δ, providing a rationale for expansion in CLL/iNHL/MCL. Additional safety and efficacy data from the ongoing dose escalation evaluation in T-cell/aggressive NHL and the CLL/iNHL/MCL expansion cohort will be presented.
