TPS2645 Background: NEO-201 is a novel humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) generated against the Hollinshead allogenic colorectal cancer vaccine platform. Briefly, tumor-associated antigens (TAA) derived from tumor membrane fractions pooled from colorectal cancer surgical specimens were screened for delayed-type hypersensitivity and evaluated in clinical trials. The original vaccine was used to generate monoclonal antibodies, one of which is NEO-201. In preclinical data generated in our laboratory, we have demonstrated that NEO-201 exert anti-tumor activity by natural killer (NK)-mediated antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) against several tumor type including colorectal and pancreatic cancer models (Fantini, et al. 2018). We have identified NEO-201 antigen as a glycosylated form of CEACAM-5 and -6, which is expressed by tumor tissue but is not present in the surrounding healthy tissue (David, et al. 2018). This could result in a specific anti-tumor activity without significant normal tissue toxicity. Nevertheless, toxicity was further assessed in non-human primates and transient neutropenia was the only adverse event observed. Based on this data we designed a first in human phase I trial to evaluate the safety, maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the humanized monoclonal antibody NEO-201. Methods: This is a first-in-human phase 1 study with expansion cohort to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of NEO-201 in adults with advanced solid tumors that have high likelihood pof expression NEO201 antigen and have progressed to standard of treatments and have a PS0-2 ECOG. Study design is a classic Fibonacci (3+3) dose escalation, with a cohort expansion at the MTD. NEO-201 is administered intravenously every two weeks, and four different dose levels will be explored (DL1 = 1mg/kg, DL2 = 2mg/kg, DL3 = 4mg/kg and DL4 = 6mg/kg). No intra-patient dose escalation is allowed. Patients will be evaluated for safety every two weeks, with weekly laboratory testing, according to CTCAEv4.0. and with a DLT window of 28 days (cycle 1). Response will be assessed every 8 weeks (2 cycles of treatment) according to RECISTv1.1. Additionally, biological samples will be collected to understand NEO-201 pharmacokinetic, the effect on the immune process and their correlation with treatment toxicity and response. As of February 2019 we have completed enrollment in the first DL and are evaluating for DLT. Clinical trial information: NCT03476681.

3069 Background: DUR is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that blocks PD-L1. TRE is a human IgG2 mAb inhibitor of CTLA-4. Blocking these checkpoints can result in antitumor activity in some solid tumors. The targets for DUR and TRE are non-redundant, providing sound rationale for clinical testing of the combination. Methods: This is an ongoing Phase 1, multicenter, open label study (NCT01975831) with a dose escalation (3+3 design) and subsequent expansion phase. Patients (pts) with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), cervical (CC), colorectal (CRC), non-triple-negative breast (NTNBC), ovarian (OC), non-small cell lung, or head and neck cancer are eligible. Primary endpoints are safety/tolerability and identification of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination. Secondary objectives include tumor response and progression-free/overall survival. Results: As of 16 Dec 2016, 105 pts were treated. DUR 1500 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) and TRE 75 mg Q4W X 4 was the regimen used for opening the expansion phase. Dose-limiting toxicities were reported in 4 pts: diarrhea, colitis, abnormal liver function tests (abn LFTs), and hyponatremia. The majority of treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) were Grades (Gr) 1 and 2. TRAEs ≥ Gr 3 were reported in 12 pts; the majority were diarrhea/colitis (n = 5) and abn LFTs (n = 4) and responded to established treatment algorithms. There was 1 Gr 5 TRAE: multi organ failure. No new toxicities were identified. The preliminary responses by tumor type with n ≥ 10 pts are shown in the table below. Responses were seen in OC and RCC at the Cohort 2 dose escalation level (DUR 1/TRE 3 mg/kg). There were 4 cases of SD > 24 weeks: CC, n=2; CRC, n=1; OC, n=1. PD-L1 status was not tested. Conclusions: The DUR + TRE combination has a manageable safety profile, with preliminary evidence of clinical activity. These data support continued study of the combination therapy; the study is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT01975831. [Table: see text]

BackgroundAK117 is a novel humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting CD47, a macrophage immune checkpoint and ‘don’t eat me’ signal that allows tumor cells to evade immune destruction by phagocytic cells. Most human cancers express CD47 to varying degrees, making CD47 a universal target. The efficacy of anti-CD47 therapy has been studied, as monotherapy and in combination with other antineoplastic agents, in various malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer. Anemia is common with anti-CD47 therapy because CD47 is ubiquitously expressed on senescent red blood cells (RBCs). However, in comparison to other anti-CD7 mAbs, AK117 exhibits significantly weaker binding to human RBCs than tumor cells. In both in vitro and in vivo nonclinical studies, AK117 demonstrated robust anti-tumor activity without causing significant agglutination of human RBCs in vitro or anemia in monkeys.MethodsThis is a first-in-human, Phase 1, multicenter, open label, single arm, dose escalation and dose expansion study of AK117 administered intravenously to adult subjects with relapsed/refractory advanced or metastatic solid tumors or lymphomas. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of AK117 monotherapy; and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Antitumor activity, PK, pharmacodynamic profile and immunogenicity of AK117 will be studied as secondary objectives.The dose escalation parts of the study uses a 3+3+3 design to determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) dose between 0.3 mg/kg to 45 mg/kg QW. Dose escalation is performed exclusively in solid tumors; and any dose escalation cohort not exceeding the MTD may be expanded up to a maximum of approximately 18 subjects, with a minimum of 6 subjects with lymphomas, to provide additional clinical data to inform the optimal dose level and treatment schedule for tumor type-specific dose expansion and subsequent clinical studies. In the dose expansion phase, AK117 will be studied in cohorts of 30 subjects each with selected solid tumors and selected lymphomas.Subjects with active or prior autoimmune disease that may relapse, history of hemolytic anemia of any cause within 3 months of first dose, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, defects in RBC production; or defects in hemoglobin production or metabolism will not be eligible for this study.ResultsN/AConclusionsN/ATrial RegistrationNCT04349969Ethics ApprovalThe study was approved by Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee (Application No. 2020-02-016).

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.

2580 Background: YH003, a recombinant, humanized agonistic anti-CD40 IgG2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) specifically recognizes and agonizes CD40 on the antigen-presenting cells to enhance immune responses. Preclinical data have shown potent anti-cancer activity when combined with anti-PD-1 antibodies. Methods: This is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study. Patients with advanced solid tumors receive YH003 by IV administration Q3W as monotherapy at 0.03 to 3.0 mg/kg for the first cycle (21 days) then in combination with Toripalimab at 240 mg Q3W for the 4 subsequent cycles in an accelerated “3+3” design. The safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy data will be analyzed. Results: As of 31 Dec 2020 data cutoff, 9 patients (pts) were enrolled and treated at 0.03 mg/kg (n = 3), 0.1mg/kg (n = 3), and 0.3mg/kg (n = 3). The median age was 63 years (range 33-68). Baseline ECOG scores were 0 (7 pts) and 1 (2 pts) with a median of 2 prior lines therapy (range 1-7). 5 pts had received prior immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-1+CTLA-4). As of data cutoff, no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were observed. No Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were reported. Four drug related AEs were reported including one Grade 1 (G1) choroidal thickening (related to YH003) at 0.03 mg/kg, one G1 fatigue (related to YH003) at 0.1 mg/kg, two G1 febrile episodes (one related to YH003 and the other related to combination treatment) at 0.3 mg/kg. Among 5 patients assessable for response, there were 2 SD (one with anti-PDL1 refractory Merkel cell carcinoma at 0.03 mg/kg and one with anti-PD1 refractory NSCLC at 0.1 mg/kg) and 1 PR with anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 refractory ocular melanoma at 0.1 mg/kg. Conclusions: YH003 was well tolerated up to 0.3 mg/kg dose levels when combined with Toripalimab and has shown encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT04481009.

2519 Background: Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is an EGF family member and a ligand for EGFR and Her4. U3-1565 is a fully human anti-HB-EGF monoclonal antibody with preclinical anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis activity. In this study, we evaluated safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-tumor activity of U3-1565 in patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard treatment. Methods: The 3+3 method of enrollment and dose-escalation was used to test U3-1565 at 2, 8, 16, and 24 mg/kg once every two weeks (with the second dose given three weeks after the first), and at 24 mg/kg weekly. Results: 15 patients (11 females, 4 males; median age 62 (range 47-77) years; 5 CRC, 5 NSCLC, 3 ovarian and 2 other cancer) were enrolled, 3 in each dose level cohort. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed and a maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The highest administered dose of 24 mg/kg weekly generated Cmin above the predetermined target concentration corresponding to Cave resulting in 90% preclinical tumor growth inhibition. U3-1565 was safe and well tolerated with related AE consisting of infrequent and non-dose-related G2 (fatigue, anemia, and appetite loss, seen in 20, 13, and 7% of cases, respectively) and G1 toxicities. No anti-U3-1565 antibody was detected. U3-1565 showed bi-exponential disposition with Cmax and AUC increasing proportional to the dose across all dosing regimens. 13 patients discontinued the study, 12 due to progressive disease and 1 due to non-drug-related AE. After 6 months on study, 2 patients entered study extension phase: A 77 year-old female with NSCLC given 24 mg/kg every two weeks, showed SD (best SLD change -3%) for 26 weeks before progression; and a 76 year-old female with CRC given 24 mg/kg weekly, showed PR (best SLD change -35%) and remains on treatment after 71 weeks. Conclusions: U3-1565 is safe and well tolerated up to 24 mg/kg weekly. Anti-tumor activity was observed and is being further explored in an open-label, dose-expansion study. Clinical trial information: NCT0129041.

9549 Background: Preclinical findings have shown a synergy between RT and anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody in several tumor animal models for both local tumor control and distant effects. Preliminary clinical data suggest that it could be due to an abscopal effect of RT. The Mel-Ipi-Rx phase 1 study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety profile of RT combined with ipilimumab in pts with metastatic melanoma. Methods: A 3+3 dose escalation design was used with 9, 15, 18 and 24 Gy dose of RT (in 3 fractions) at week 4 combined with 10 mg/kg ipilimumab (every 3 weeks for 4 doses). Pts with evidence of clinical benefit at week 12 were eligible for maintenance ipilimumab at 10 mg/kg every 12 weeks starting at week 24 until severe toxicity or disease progression based on immune-related response criteria (irRC). Results: 19 pts with advanced melanoma received ipilimumab between August 2011 and July 2015. Nine pts received the 4 doses of ipilimumab and 2 pts received maintenance ipilimumab (1 and 2 cycles respectively). All pts received the combined RT at week 4 in 3 fractions. All pts presented at least one AE of any grade. The most common AEs were asthenia, diarrhea, desease-related pain and fever. Grade 3 AEs occurred in 8 pts. They included colitis (n = 3), hepatitis (n = 2), anemia (n = 2), asthenia (n = 1), thyroid disorders (n = 1) and nausea/vomiting (n = 1). Nine pts discontinued the study owing to treatment-related adverse events including colitis (n = 6), hepatitis (n = 2) and DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and systemic syndrome) (n = 1). DLT occurred in 2/6 pts in the cohort receiving 15 Gy. No drug-related death occurred. According to irRC, 4 partial responses (ORR: 21%) and 4 stable diseases were observed at week 24. The MTD was 9 Gy dose. One pt out of 12 treated in the 9 Gy cohort presented a DLT (grade 3 colitis). The median progression-free survival [95% CI] was 7.2 months [2.4 – 16.8]. The median overall survival [95% CI] was 14.4 months [7.2 – 20.4]. Conclusions: When combined with ipilimumab at 10 mg/kg, in the present design, the MTD of RT was 9 Gy. This combination appears to be associated with antitumor activity. Clinical trial information: 2010-020317-93.

Study Results

48 Background: The release of tumor-associated antigens may enhance the response to immunotherapy. BGB-A317, a humanized IgG4 variant monoclonal antibody engineered to have no Fc gamma receptor binding, targets the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) receptor. It is being developed in solid and hematologic malignancies at a dose of 200 mg IV Q3W. BGB-290, a potent inhibitor of PARP 1/2, is hypothesized to promote neoantigen release that may potentially increase the efficacy of BGB-A317. A phase 1 study identified 60 mg BID as the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for BGB-290. This study consists of initial dose escalation to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, and preliminary antitumor activity of the combination, followed by expansion into ovarian, breast, prostate, gastric, bladder, pancreatic and small cell lung cancers. Methods: Cohorts of 6–12 patients with advanced solid tumors were treated in each of 5 planned dose levels (DLs). In DLs 1–3, BGB-290 doses ranged between 20–60 mg PO BID with BGB-A317 2 mg/kg IV Q3W. In DLs 4–5, BGB-290 doses were 40 or 60 mg BID; A317 was given at 200 mg IV Q3W based on PK data from a single agent Phase 1 study. Results: As of 31 March 2017, 43 patients [median age 63 years (34–75)] were treated in DLs 1–5. Three patients experienced four dose-limiting toxicities: grade 2 nausea (DL4), grade 2 nausea and grade 2 vomiting (DL5), and grade 4 autoimmune hepatitis (DL5). MTD was identified as BGB-A317 200 mg IV Q3W + BGB-290 40 mg PO BID. The most common adverse event (AE) considered related to both study drugs was fatigue. Immune-related AEs of Grade ≥3 were elevated alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (n = 3), autoimmune hepatitis (n = 3), and hepatitis (n = 1). Complete or partial response was observed in 11 patients, 4 of whom had confirmed PR or CR. Plasma/serum exposure of BGB-290 and BGB-A317 were consistent with those in single-agent trials. Conclusions: The combination of BGB-A317 and BGB-290 was generally well tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors. These results support the continuation of this trial with enrollment into the disease-specific cohorts. Clinical trial information: NCT02660034.

9509 Background: Ligation of GITR on immune cells decreases Treg-mediated suppression and enhances T cell proliferation. MK-4166 is a humanized IgG1 agonist monoclonal antibody targeting GITR. Data from the first-in-human phase 1 study (NCT02132754) of MK-4166 as monotherapy (mono) or in combination with pembro (combo) are presented. Methods: MK-4166 was tested alone (0.0015 mg IV-900 mg Q3W ×4 doses) or with pembro (fixed dose 200 mg IV Q3W up to 35 doses) in the absence of toxicity or progression. Study included a dose escalation/confirmation cohort (metastatic solid tumors) and an expansion cohort (treatment-naive and pretreated melanoma). A T cell–inflamed gene expression profile (GEP) was assessed using RNA from baseline tumor samples. End points – primary: safety/tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-4166; secondary: pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD); exploratory: objective response rate (ORR) per irRECIST1.1. Results: Of 113 pts, 48 received mono and 65 combo; 20 were in the melanoma expansion. Common AEs ( > 20%) were fatigue, infusion-related reaction, nausea, abdominal pain, and pruritus; 43 pts had grade ≥3 AEs (38.1%); 6 (5.3%) were treatment-related. One dose-limiting toxicity (bladder perforation in a urothelial pt with a neobladder) possibly related to study drug was observed with mono. MTD was not reached. No treatment-related deaths were observed. MK-4166 PK/PD showed target-mediated drug disposition concomitant with decreased GITR availability on T cells in blood with increasing doses. Four objective responses (4/45; ORR, 9%) were seen with combo in dose escalation. For ICI-naive melanoma pts (n = 13) in expansion, ORR was 69% (95% CI, 38-91), including 4 CRs and 5 PRs. No response was observed in 7 pts previously treated with ICI. High ORRs were observed in noninflamed and inflamed ICI-naive melanoma pts. Conclusions: MK-4166 at a dose up to 900 mg as monotherapy and in combination with pembro was well tolerated, with dose-related evidence of target engagement. Responses were observed with MK-4166 900 mg plus pembro, particularly in pts with melanoma naive to ICIs. Clinical trial information: NCT02132754.
