TPS10065 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibition in children has shown limited success rates until now. This is most likely due to the fact that the vast majority of pediatric cancers are so-called immunologic cold tumors, and that patients have been enrolled in an unselected manner in single agent trials. Recently, it has been shown that the class I selective HDAC inhibitor entinostat has significant immune enhancing activity in vitro and in vivo. This is mediated through multiple mechanisms including depletion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, activation of neoantigen transcription and increase of MHC expression. Methods: INFORM2 NivEnt is an exploratory nonrandomized, open-label, multinational and multicenter seamless phase I/II basket trial of nivolumab and entinostat in children and adolescents with relapsed, refractory or progressive high-risk solid and CNS tumors. Patients aged 6-21 will be allocated to the following biomarker-defined groups: high mutational load ( > 100 somatic SNVs/exome; group A), high PD-L1 mRNA expression (RPKM > 3; group B), focal MYC(N) amplification (group C), low mutational load and low PD-L1 mRNA expression and no MYC(N) amplification (Biomarker low group D). Phase I determines the recommended phase 2 dose for the combination for the age groups 6-11 and 12-21 years. Patients will receive nivolumab 3mg/kg every 2 weeks. Entinostat has 2 dose levels: 2mg/m2 and 4mg/m2 once per week. Patients can seamlessly enter the phase II which investigates activity (defined as best response during the first 6 cycles) in the 4 biomarker groups A-D. The duration of treatment is 12 cycles, preceded by 1 entinostat priming week. Interim analyses for futility will be performed after every 10 patients in each group. The study will enroll a maximum of 128 patients in Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, France, Australia and additional countries under discussion. A comprehensive accompanying biomarker program will investigate a series of immune and epigenetic pharmacodynamic biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT03838042.

PURPOSE Iadademstat is a novel, highly potent, and selective inhibitor of LSD1 (KDM1A), with preclinical in vitro and in vivo antileukemic activity. This study aimed to determine safety and tolerability of iadademstat as monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). METHODS This phase I, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation (DE), and extension-cohort (EC) trial included patients with R/R AML and evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antileukemic activity of this orally bioavailable first-in-class lysine-specific demethylase 1 inhibitor. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were treated with iadademstat on days 1 to 5 (5-220 µg/m2/d) of each week in 28-day cycles in a DE phase that resulted in a recommended dose of 140 µg/m2/d of iadademstat as a single agent. This dose was chosen to treat all patients (n = 14) in an EC enriched with patients with MLL/KMT2A-rearranged AML. Most adverse events (AEs) were as expected in R/R AML and included myelosuppression and nonhematologic AEs, such as infections, asthenia, mucositis, and diarrhea. PK data demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in plasma exposure, and PD data confirmed a potent time- and exposure-dependent induction of differentiation biomarkers. Reductions in blood and bone marrow blast percentages were observed, together with induction of blast cell differentiation, in particular, in patients with MLL translocations. One complete remission with incomplete count recovery was observed in the DE arm. CONCLUSION Iadademstat exhibits a good safety profile together with signs of clinical and biologic activity as a single agent in patients with R/R AML. A phase II trial of iadademstat in combination with azacitidine is ongoing (EudraCT No.: 2018-000482-36).

e18118 Background: In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the antiproliferative effects of 1, 25 (OH)2D3 (calcitriol) as single agent and antitumor synergy with cisplatin. The goals of this Phase I/II study were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 1, 25 (OH)2 D3 in combination with cisplatin and docetaxel, and to evaluate the efficacy in patients (pts) with metastatic NSCLC.Methods: The study was a multicenter, open-label study in pts with metastatic NSCLC. Pts were adults 18 yrs., PS 0-1 with normal liver/kidney function. For the phase I study, pts (3–6 per cohort) received 1, 25 (OH)2 D3 I.V. every 21 days prior to docetaxel and cisplatin. The starting dose of 1,25 (OH)2D3 was 15 mcg/m2 at sequential ascending dose levels (DL) (15, 30, 60 and 80 mcg/m2) using a 3+3 design targeting a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate of <33%. Docetaxel was administered at 75 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75mg/m2 following 1, 25 (OH)2 D3 for 4 cycles. We analyzed SNPs in the CYP24A1 gene.Results: 37 pts were enrolled (16 in phase I and 21 in phase II) with a median age of 54 (range 34–79) yrs.; M: F, 12:17. At the 80 mcg/m2 dose level, 2/4 pts had DLT of grade 4 neutropenia. There were no cases of hypercalcemia or azotemia. The MTD and recommended Phase II dose was 60 mcg/m2. Among 6 response-evaluable Phase I pts, and 21 phase II pts, there were: 2 confirmed partial responses (PR), 6 unconfirmed PRs and 10 pts with stable disease. The median time to progression was 6.9 months (95% CI 4.4, 12.9) and the median overall survival was 8.3 months (95% CI 5.8, 14.9). Of the CYP24A1 SNPs, the IVS4-308C>G was associated with progressive disease (Chi-Square=0.0062)Conclusions: The MTD of 1,25 (OH)2D3 in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin was 60 mcg/m2 IV every 21 days. Pre-specified endpoint of a 50% response rate was not met in the phase II study. However, disease control in 66% of patients argues for further study of 1,25 (OH)2D3 as maintenance therapy. The CYP24A1 polymorphism IVS4-308C>G may be associated with resistance to a 1,25 (OH)2D3 based therapeutic regimen

7116 Background: Mocetinostat (MGCD0103) is an orally available, isotype-selective, non-hydroxamate HDAC inhibitor targeting HDACs 1,2, 3 and 11 with single agent activity in AML and both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Preclinical evaluation demonstrating in vitro and in vivo synergy and antileukemic activity with demethylating agents, including 5-azacitidine (AZA), prompted clinical evaluation of mocetinostat + AZA in MDS and AML. Methods: This open-label, Phase II trial enrolled patients with MDS or AML. Patients received AZA (75 mg/m2SC; days 1-7 every 28 days) and mocetinostat (90-110 mg 3x/wk starting on AZA day 5). Anticancer activity, safety and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were evaluated. We report here on the MDS cohort. Results: Twenty patients with MDS were enrolled. Eight patients had received prior therapy for MDS including decitabine (n=1), lenalidomide (n=3), tipifarnib (n=2) and cytarabine (n=2). Median age was 70.5 yrs (range 41-81). Disease control rate (defined as CR + marrow-CR + PR + SD) was 80% (16/20). Ten patients (50%) had baseline marrow blast counts ≥10% (protocol-defined high risk). Responses in high-risk patients included 5 (50%) with CR + marrow-CR and 2 (20%) with SD. Six patients (30%) had an on-treatment marrow blast count of 0. These included 3 patients in the high-risk category, with baseline blast counts of 11%-15%. CR was observed in one patient, a 74-yr-old male with previously untreated RAEB. In this patient, marrow blasts fell from a baseline of 11% to 0% following 1 cycle of treatment; CR with normalization of all cell lines was achieved by late Cycle 3. He remained on study for 1 yr. Most drug-related AEs in the study were grade 1 or 2. The most common drug-related grade 3/4 events were nausea (15%), vomiting, fatigue, anemia, thrombocytopenia and febrile neutropenia (10% each). There was one death (5%), due to pneumonia that was not felt by the investigator to be drug related. Conclusions: The combination of mocetinostat and 5-azacitidine in patients with MDS demonstrated an acceptable safety profile and encouraging evidence of clinical benefit. Further clinical studies are warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT00324220.

OBJECTIVE: TO study the effects of ofloxacin on the reliability of urine glucose testing. DESIGN: Open-label, nonrandomized. SETTING: A university-affiliated tertiary care hospital, ambulatory clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Ten healthy volunteers (8 men and 2 women) aged 22-39 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Phase I (in vitro) involved the addition of selected amounts of ofloxacin to a set of standard 50-mL urine samples prepared to simulate glycosuria. Phase II (in vivo) involved the oral administration of ofloxacin 400 mg to 10 subjects. Urine was collected: (1) immediately predose, (2) pooled 0–4 hours postdose, and (3) pooled 4–8 hours postdose. Known glucose concentrations were then added to these samples. Clinitest and Diastix tests were performed on all samples. The accuracy of these tests in determining glucose concentrations was compared among urine samples taken before and after ofloxacin dosing. RESULTS: None of the ofloxacin concentrations in phase I (0,25,50, 100, 200,400, and 800 μg/mL) influenced these testing methods at the urine glucose concentrations of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%. Likewise, the accuracy of these two tests was unaffected by ofloxacin administration in phase II. CONCLUSIONS: In single-dose administration, ofloxacin does not interfere with Clinitest or Diastix for determining urine glucose concentrations.

6605 Background: CLL pts with early stage disease are often observed under a “watch and wait” approach. Unmutated immunoglobulin variable-region gene (IgVH); expression of zeta chain associated kinase (ZAP-70); CD38 expression; and cytogenetics abnormalities identify pts with a tendency for early disease progression. Whether pts with these high-risk features may benefit from early intervention warrants investigation in clinical trials. Gossypol, a naturally occurring compound in cotton seeds has been extensively studied in clinical trials and is well tolerated with a favorable safety profile. AT-101, a derivative of R-(-)-gossypol binds to Bcl-2 family proteins and induces apoptosis of CLL cells in vitro. Dysregulated expression of Bcl-2 proteins is critical for CLL leukemogenesis and is an attractive therapeutic target. Methods: We conducted a phase I study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single agent AT-101 in treatment naïve CLL pts with high-risk features. Clinical activity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics were assessed. Results: 7 pts were treated with AT-101 at doses of 20–40mg daily. Pt characteristics: median age 55, median Rai stage II, elevated ZAP-70 (57%), high CD38 (71%), unmutated IgVH (57%), trisomy 12 (43%), and loss of 17p (43%). AT-101 was well tolerated with no grade 4 toxicities, hospitalizations, deaths. Maximum toxicity in 6 evaluable pts was grade III transaminase elevation at week 7, with complete resolution following discontinuation of AT-101. Other most common adverse events, all Grade 1–2 include: elevated transaminases; nausea; fatigue; diarrhea; and hypokalemia. No hematologic toxicity was observed. 5/6 pts had decrease in lymphocyte count, 6/6 had reduction in lymphadenopathy, and 5/5 with palpable spleens had reduction in spleen size. Cmax for 30mg (n=3) and 40mg (n=2) dose of AT-101 was 570ng/ml and 660ng/ml at a Tmax of 4.3 and 4.4 hrs. Tmax correlated with in vivo apoptosis studies revealing maximum leukemic cell apoptosis occurring at 4hrs and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage. Conclusions: AT-101 is safe and well tolerated, induces in vivo leukemia cell apoptosis, and may have clinical activity in previously untreated pts with CLL and high risk features. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

5145 Background: Antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins are overexpressed in castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and contribute to resistance to therapy. AT-101 is a pan-Bcl-2 inhibitor (Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bcl-W, and Mcl-1) and potent inducer of proapoptotic proteins. AT-101 is active as a single agent and in combinations with standard therapies in in vitro and in vivo tumor models, as a single agent in a phase II trial in CRPC, and in combination with D/P as first-line therapy in CRPC, as demonstrated by declines in PSA and RECIST responses. Methods: Men ≥18 years of age with docetaxel-refractory CRPC were eligible. Patients (pts) must have PSA progression per the Bubley criteria or documented disease progression while receiving prior D/P therapy. Pts (n = 40) were treated with D (75 mg/m2 day 1), P (5mg b.i.d. on days 1–21) and AT-101 40mg b.i.d. on days 1–3 of each 21-day cycle. Safety (NCI CTCAE v3.0) and efficacy (Bubley Criteria for PSA) were assessed at 3-wk intervals. Radiological assessments were performed at 6-wk intervals for pts with soft tissue disease and bone scans were performed after cycle 6 and at the completion of therapy. Results: Efficacy data was available on 34 pts. Thirty-five percent (12/34) of pts treated had at least a 30% decrease in PSA level and 18% (6/34) of pts achieved a >50% PSA decline. Twenty one of 34 pts included in this analysis had measurable disease. Five pts (24%) with measurable disease had a PR or CR by RECIST criteria and one additional patient had tumor shrinkage of 29%. Two (2) RECIST PRs are unconfirmed. Thus far, 3 pts have been on therapy for 6 months or more and 15 pts remain on study. Safety data was available on 22 pts. The most common (>20%) adverse events (AEs) included fatigue (55%), anorexia, including weight decreased (45%), diarrhea and nausea (27%), vomiting and neutropenia (23%). The grade 3/4 AEs occurring in more than 1 pt were: neutropenia (5), anemia, anorexia, dyspnea and leukopenia (2 pts each). One partial small bowel obstruction was the only related, serious adverse event (SAE) reported to date. Conclusions: This data supports that AT-101 can be administered safely with D/P in pts with CRPC who are docetaxel-refractory. Durable PSA and RECIST responses were observed. [Table: see text]

e13524 Background: Reovirus has minimal pathogenicity in humans but selectively replicates in cells with activated Ras. Wild- type reovirus serotype 3 Dearing strain (Reolysin) has selective antitumor activity in vitro, in murine models, and after systemic delivery in humans in phase 1 trials. Synergistic tumour kill has been observed combining reovirus with taxanes in a range of cancer cell lines and in vivo. Methods: Patients were treated in an open-label, dose-escalating, phase I trial and received 3- weekly 75mg/m2 docetaxel i.v. and reovirus i.v. (day 1–5 of first week inclusive). Reovirus was administered at a starting dose of 3x109 tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) and then increased to 1 x 1010 and 3 x 1010 TCID50. Primary endpoints were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and to recommend a dose and schedule for future investigation. Secondary endpoints were to evaluate pharmacokinetics, neutralizing antibody development, cell- mediated immune response and anti-tumour activity. Results: 17 patients were treated (15 males, median age 60 years). No MTD has been reached. DLT's observed were G4 neutropenia (and a recurrent perianal abcess) and G3 rise in AST. Other toxicities observed were fatigue, hypotension and neutropenic sepsis. At present, 5 patients remain on treatment. We have observed 2 partial responses (breast and gastric carcinoma) and 10 patients had stable disease as best response. Conclusions: Reovirus is well tolerated when administered in combination with intravenous docetaxel, with predictable toxicity observed. The recommended dose has been defined at 3x1010 TCID50 and phase II studies are planned. Objective radiological evidence of anticancer activity for this combination has been observed.

AbstractThe interaction of platelet GPIbα with von Willebrand factor (VWF) is essential to initiate platelet adhesion and thrombosis, particularly under high shear stress conditions. However, no drug targeting GPIbα has been developed for clinical practice. Here we characterized anfibatide, a GPIbα antagonist purified from snake (Deinagkistrodon acutus) venom, and evaluated its interaction with GPIbα by surface plasmon resonance and in silico modeling. We demonstrated that anfibatide interferds with both VWF and thrombin binding, inhibited ristocetin/botrocetin- and low-dose thrombin-induced human platelet aggregation, and decreased thrombus volume and stability in blood flowing over collagen. In a single-center, randomized, and open-label phase I clinical trial, anfibatide was administered intravenously to 94 healthy volunteers either as a single dose bolus, or a bolus followed by a constant rate infusion of anfibatide for 24 h. Anfibatide inhibited VWF-mediated platelet aggregation without significantly altering bleeding time or coagulation. The inhibitory effects disappeared within 8 h after drug withdrawal. No thrombocytopenia or anti-anfibatide antibodies were detected, and no serious adverse events or allergic reactions were observed during the studies. Therefore, anfibatide was well-tolerated among healthy subjects. Interestingly, anfibatide exhibited pharmacologic effects in vivo at concentrations thousand-fold lower than in vitro, a phenomenon which deserves further investigation.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01588132.

5062 Background: Antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins are overexpressed in CRPC and contribute to resistance to therapy. The oral pan-Bcl-2 inhibitor AT-101 (Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, Bcl-W, Mcl-1) is active as a single agent and in combination in in vitro and in vivo tumor models and as a single agent in CRPC. The Phase 1 portion of the study determined the recommended dose for phase II to be D (75mg/m2 q3weeks) in combination with P (5mg b.i.d. on days 1–21), and AT-101 at 40mg b.i.d. on days 1–3 of each 21-day cycle, and was previously reported. Methods: Men ≥18 years of age with chemotherapy-naïve CRPC (N = 36). Safety (NCI CTCAE v3.0) and efficacy (Bubley Criteria for PSA) were assessed at 3-wk intervals. Radiological assessments were performed at 6-wk intervals for pts with soft tissue disease and bone scans were performed after cycle 6 and at the completion of therapy. Results: 36 patients (pts) have been enrolled in the study. Twenty-four (67%) pts achieved a partial response (PR) (>50% PSA decline), and 26 (72%) pts treated had at least a 30% decrease in PSA level. Nine of 19 pts (47%) with measurable disease had a PR. One PR was unconfirmed per RECIST. Thirteen pts (36%) completed >10 cycles of therapy (range 2–24) thus far. Four pts remains active. Safety data is available for 31 pts. The most common (>20%) Adverse Events (AEs) include: fatigue (68%), nausea (52%), diarrhea (45%), alopecia (32%), constipation and dysgeusia (26%), and neutropenia and vomiting (26%). Neutropenia was the only gr. 4 event occurring in more than one pt (3pts). Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) considered related were reported in 5 pts (16%). The only SAEs reported in 2 or more pts were urinary tract infection (3 pts) and deep vein thrombosis (2 pts) and none were considered related. No ileus has been reported. Conclusions: AT-101 when given in combination with D/P is well tolerated and shows preliminary evidence of efficacy in pts with CRPC. A randomized trial is ongoing. [Table: see text]

270 Background: AVE1642 blocks IGF-1R signaling. Previous phase I studies recommended AVE1642 doses ranged from 3 to 6 mg/kg in solid tumors. AVE1642 alone and in combination has shown in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity warranting further investigations in HCC. Methods: Dose-escalation was performed using a 3+3 design in patients with advanced HCC. AVE1642 doses were 1 mg/kg (DL1) 3 mg/kg (DL2), 6 mg/kg (DL3) given IV for 30 min every 3 weeks (w). AVE1642 was given alone for 3 w and every 3 w thereafter in combination with sorafenib (400 mg bid/day). Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) were assessed during the first two cycles. Safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), tumor response (RECIST) were evaluated. Results: Thirteen patients (median age: 70y, M/F: 10/3, Child-Pugh A: 13/13) received 83 cycles (range 3-13) of AVE1642: 3 patients at DL1 (31 cycles), 7 patients at DL2 (38 cycles), 3 patients at DL3 (14 cycles) All patients were evaluable for safety and PK/PD. HCC was located in liver in 11 patients and was metastatic in 2. At cycle 1, exposure to AVE1642 alone led to grade 2-3 anemia in 1 patient at DL2, non febrile neutropenia in 1 at DL3. Other adverse events were grade 1-2 gastrointestinal disorders in 1 patient at DL1, in 3 at DL2 and hyperglycemia in only 1 at DL2. No liver function failure or haemorrhagic complications were observed. The frequency of sorafenib induced adverse events was not increased under combination. AVE1642 was eliminated slowly from the serum (t1/2: 5 to 6.7 days). There was no apparent effect of the dose on the systemic clearance of AVE1642, no effect of sorafenib treatment on the PK of AVE1642. IGF1 and IGFBP3 plasma concentrations (not of IGF2) were increased following AVE1642 administration. Most patients (11/13) presented tumor stabilization during a mean time of 13.3 w (ranging 6 to 27 w). Conclusions: AVE1642 can be safely combined with active doses of sorafenib. PK of both AVE1642 and sorafenib were not modified at these relevant concentrations. Interesting long-lasting disease stabilizations were observed in these patients with progressive disease. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
