TPS2654 Background: Programmed cell death 1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1) have demonstrated clinical benefit in a subset of patients with manageable safety across a variety of tumor types. T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain-containing molecule-3 (TIM-3) can be co-expressed with PD-1 on exhausted T-cells and may be upregulated in tumors refractory to anti-PD-1 therapy (Koyama et al. 2016). Pre-clinical studies demonstrated that blockade of both PD-1 and TIM-3 improved survival of tumor-bearing mice compared to blocking anti-PD-1 only (Koyama et al. 2016). LY3415244 is a TIM-3/PD-L1 bispecific antibody that has the ability to target and inhibit both TIM-3 and PD-L1 and the potential to overcome primary and acquired anti-PD-(L)1 resistance by a novel mechanism to bridge TIM-3- and PD-L1-expressing cells. Methods: Study JZDA is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, Phase 1a/1b study of LY3415244 in patients with advanced solid tumors. In Phase 1a, subjects with any tumor type who are either PD-(L)1 inhibitor-naïve or exposed are eligible. In Phase 1b, expansion cohorts are planned in subjects with PD-(L)1-experienced NSCLC, urothelial carcinoma, and melanoma. Patients with malignant mesothelioma are not required to have received prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. The primary objective is to assess safety and tolerability of LY3415244 and identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in Phase 1a (dose escalation). Safety and tolerability of the RP2D will be assessed in Phase 1b (dose expansion). The secondary objectives are to assess the pharmacokinetics of LY3415244 in Phase 1a/1b and assess early antitumor activity of LY3415244 in Phase 1b cohorts. Pre- and on-treatment biopsies will be obtained to explore potential biomarkers of response. During Phase 1a, dose escalation cohorts will proceed via a modified toxicity probability interval-2 (mTPI-2) design with a 1-cycle (28-day) dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period. LY3415244 will be dosed intravenously every 2 weeks. Data from Phase 1a will determine the RP2D, which will be used for all cohorts in Phase 1b. The study is currently open to enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT03752177.

Anti Tumor Activity

TPS2675 Background: AK119 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that selectively binds to and inhibits the ectonucleotidase activity of CD73, a cell surface enzyme that converts adenosine monophosphate (AMP) into adenosine. Adenosine has been shown to facilitate tumor-mediated evasion. CD73 inhibition may therefore reduce adenosine accumulation and promote anti-tumor immunity. AK104 is a recombinant humanized IgG1 bispecific antibody that simultaneously binds to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T- lymphocyte-associated antigen protein 4 (CTLA-4). Preliminary data from phase I and II studies suggest that AK104 has encouraging anti-tumor activity in selected tumor types and an improved safety profile compared to the co-administration of anti-PD-1 plus anti-CTLA-4 mAbs. Preclinical studies show that CD73 inhibition synergistically increases the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 and CTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Published early clinical data suggests that anti-CD73 therapy in combination with ICIs produces improved clinical outcomes. Thus, AK119 plus AK104 is postulated to have synergistically enhanced anti-tumor activity compared to the administration of anti-CD73 monotherapy or ICIs alone. Methods: This is a phase 1a/1b, first-in-human, multicenter, open-label study in patients with advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard therapies. The primary objective is to assess safety, tolerability and dose limiting toxicity; and to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of AK119 in combination with AK104. Secondary objectives are to evaluate antitumor activity, PK and AK119 immunogenicity. The dose-escalation phase will evaluate 5 dose levels of AK119 (1mg/kg to 40 mg/kg Q2W IV) in combination with 6mg/kg AK104 Q2W IV using a 3+3+3 study design. Eligible pts will receive a single dose of AK119 on C0D1 of a 14-day “lead-in” period. Thereafter, from C1D1 pts will receive AK119 in combination with AK104 on a 28-day cycle, until unacceptable toxicity, confirmed progressive disease, subject withdrawal, or for a maximum of 24 months. The “lead-in” period is only applicable for dose-escalation cohorts. Any dose-escalation cohort not exceeding the MTD may be expanded to a maximum of 18 subjects with selected solid tumor types for further evaluation of safety, PK/ PD, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Cohort 1 is currently in progress with the first patient enrolled in January 2021. For the dose-expansion phase, cohorts of pts with advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer or MSS/pMMR colorectal cancer will be enrolled. Cohorts of other tumor types may be added based on emerging pharmacodynamic and anti-tumor response data. Clinical trial information: NCT04572152.

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.

2556 Background: Depletion of tumor-infiltrating CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which inhibit tumor-specific immune responses, could contribute to tumor eradication. Cami (ADCT-301), an anti-CD25, pyrrolobenzodiazepine-based antibody-drug conjugate, targets CD25+ Tregs. A mouse surrogate has shown potent antitumor activity in solid tumor models. Here we report preliminary data from the monotherapy arm of a phase 1b trial of Cami in pts with selected advanced solid tumors. Methods: The monotherapy dose-escalation part of this open-label study enrolled pts (aged ≥18 years) with selected advanced solid tumors and no suitable existing therapy. The primary objective was to characterize safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of Cami monotherapy. Secondary and exploratory objectives included evaluation of preliminary antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity. Pts received Cami every 3 weeks (1 cycle) with dose escalation per a 3+3 design. Disease control rate (DCR) was assessed (complete and partial responses [CR, PR] and stable disease). Results: At data cut-off (Dec 17, 2020), 44 pts were enrolled, with primary tumor types (stage IVA/B: 27 pts; 61.4%) of colorectal (15 pts; 34.1%), pancreatic (14 pts; 31.8%), head and neck, ovarian/fallopian tube, and renal cell carcinoma (all 3 pts; 6.8%), non-small cell lung cancer (2 pts; 4.5%), gastric, esophageal/GEJ, melanoma, and triple-negative breast cancer (each 1 pt; 2.3%). Median (range) age was 60.5 (33–82) years; median (range) number of prior systemic therapies was 4 (1–9). Pts received a median (range) of 2 (1–6) Cami cycles at doses of 20–150 µg/kg. Median (range) treatment duration was 22 (1–178) days. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. All-grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥20% pts were nausea (18 pts; 40.9%), decreased appetite and fatigue (each 16 pts; 36.4%), constipation (13 pts; 29.5%), abdominal pain (11 pts; 25%), and rash (10 pts; 22.7%). The only Grade ≥3 TEAE in ≥10% pts was anemia (5 pts; 11.4%). Grade 3 autoimmune AEs (colitis, immune-mediated AE, systemic inflammatory response syndrome) and neurologic AEs (dysphagia and asthenia, but not GBS) were reported in 3 (6.8%) and 2 (4.5%) pts, respectively. 1 (2.3%) Cami-related TEAE led to treatment withdrawal; no Cami-related TEAEs were fatal. DCR was 25% (95% CI: 11.1, 34.7); 11/44 pts attained stable disease. No pts had CR or PR. Conclusions: Dose escalation of Cami monotherapy is complete. The safety profile is encouraging and MTD was not reached. PK/PD data will be presented. 150 µg/kg is the highest dose investigated for single-agent Cami and the highest to be investigated combined with pembrolizumab in selected advanced solid tumors in the current protocol.

2561^ Background: NVP-HSP990 is a synthetic small molecule that potently and selectively inhibits heat-shock protein 90. HSP990 leads to degradation of client proteins, offering potential simultaneous blockade of multiple oncogenic signaling pathways. The primary objective of this Phase l first-in-man study (NCT00879905) was to determine the single-agent MTD of HSP990 administered once (qw) or twice (biw) weekly to patients (pts) with advanced solid malignancies (preselected CYP2C9 genotypes only). Secondary objectives included safety, efficacy, PK, and biomarkers. Methods: HSP990 was administered orally qw or biw in 28-day cycles. Dose escalation was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model. The MTD was determined by assessing DLTs in Cycle 1. Eligible pts included those with histologically confirmed advanced solid tumors that had progressed on standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy exists. Results: 64 pts (median age 57 yr: 44% male; 37.5% Stage IV; WHO PS 0/1) received HSP990. 53 pts received HSP990 qw at 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 or 60 mg; and 11 pts received HSP990 biw at 25 mg. Median duration of exposure was 8 wks; 12 pts remained on treatment for >16 wks. DLTs occurred in 7 pts: 4/22 at 50 mg qw (including G3 diarrhea, G3 QTc prolongation, G4 ALT/AST elevations); 2/5 at 60 mg qw (including G3 tremors); and 1/11 at 25 mg biw (including G2 ataxia, G2 confusion, G2 visual hallucination). The 50-mg qw dose was declared as the MTD. Further dose escalation was not possible due to neurologic toxicity. Most common reported CTCAE G3/4 AEs were diarrhea (12.5%), increased ALT/AST (11% each), anemia, or cholestasis (6% each). HSP990 had Tmax of 3 h and T½ of ~20 h. Large inter-patient variability in PK exposures was observed. For qw dosing, approximate dose-dependent HSP70 induction was observed from 5−30 mg qw, which plateaued after 20 mg qw. There were no objective responses; however, 25 pts (39%) had SD. (RECIST v1.0). No pt showed a complete metabolic response (MR; by FDG-PET) and 11 pts (17%) showed a partial MR. All pts discontinued treatment, primarily due to disease progression (84%). Conclusions: The single-agent MTD of HSP990 in pts with advanced solid tumors was 50 mg qw. SD was observed in 39% of pts. Clinical trial information: NCT00879905.

Abstract BackgroundPreclinical studies have supported a potential synergistic antitumor activity between surufatinib and anti-programed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). We describe here the results of a single-arm, open-label phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with advanced solid tumors treated with surufatinib combined with toripalimab, an inhibitor of PD-L1.MethodsThis is an open-label, dose escalation and expansion study in patients with solid tumors who had failed standard therapies or had no effective treatment. In the dose escalation stage, 3 cohorts of patients were treated with surufatinib, at dose levels of 200, 250, or 300 mg once daily (QD) in combination with a fixed dose of toripalimab 240 mg, every 3 weeks (Q3W), to evaluate maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Additional patients were enrolled in the dose expansion phase to further assess the efficacy, safety, and PK profile.ResultsFrom April 1, 2019 to July 10, 2020, 31 patients were screened, of which 28 patients were enrolled. One patient in the 300 mg cohort experienced dose limited toxicity (DLT), a grade 3 hyperthyroidism. The top 3 most common treatment-related adverse events of ≥ grade 3 were transaminases increased (17.9%), hypertension (14.3%) and blood bilirubin increased (10.7%). No treatment-related death or treatment discontinuation was identified. The RP2D was determined to be surufatinib 250 mg QD plus toripalimab 240 mg Q3W. Overall objective response rate was 22.2% [95% confidential interval (CI) 8.6‒42.3], and disease control rate reached 81.5% (95% CI 61.9‒93.7). ConclusionsSurufatinib plus toripalimab was well-tolerated, with no unexpected safety signals, and showed promising antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.

TPS3157 Background: c-MET (hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor) overexpression, either by gene amplification, or mutation is associated with oncogenic transformation in numerous malignancies including lung, gastric, skin, renal, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. ABN401 inhibits the activation of c-MET by reversibly interfering with the binding of c-Met tyrosine kinase to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and blocking the receptor's downstream signaling that has demonstrated efficacy in NSCLC and gastric cancer in mouse xenograft and PDx models. This clinical trial is in progress in patients with advanced cancers. Methods: ABN401 is being evaluated in an open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation (phase 1) study in patients with advanced solid tumors, and dose-expansion (phase 2) in patients with targeted indications and c-MET biomarker expression (NCT04052971). The phase 1 explores ascending daily doses of oral ABN401 monotherapy in 21-day cycles to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). A preplanned extension (pilot expansion) study has been initiated based on predefined positive efficacy signals at intermediate doses up to 10 NSCLC patients who have c-MET alteration. Once RP2D is determined, the phase 2 expansion of up to 10-29 patients in four specific tumor-type cohorts is planned, utilizing a Simon's optimal two-stage design to evaluate the clinical activity of ABN401. ABN401-001 study began enrolling patients in August 2019 and is ongoing in Korean and Australia. Dose escalation up to cohort 4 has been completed, enrollment to cohort 5 began in November 2020. AEs are assessed according to CTCAE v5. Tumor response is determined according to RECIST 1.1 criteria and safety findings reviewed by the DRC, which will determine the RP2D and MTD. Key Phase 1 eligibility criteria include 1) histological or cytological diagnosis of melanoma or any type of carcinoma or sarcoma and 2) refractory metastatic disease, or refractory locally advanced disease not amenable to local therapy. For the extension (pilot expansion) study, patients must have NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping, MET amplification and/or c-MET overexpression. An exploratory study is being conducted for co-development of a companion diagnostic (CDx) system including a CTC device and ddPCR kit through liquid biopsy. Clinical trial information: NCT04052971.

Phase 1B

TPS3147 Background: Productive antitumor immune responses in nonclinical models depend on a type of dendritic cell (DC), conventional DC subtype 1 (cDC1), which in the context of cancer, primes tumor-reactive T cells through presentation of tumor-derived antigens. FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) is a hematopoietic growth factor that binds to and activates FLT3 on terminally differentiated DCs. Activated FLT3 promotes proliferation, inhibits cell death, and is required for the differentiation, expansion, and maintenance of DCs in peripheral and lymphoid organs. GS-3583 is a fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of recombinant human FLT3L fused to an engineered fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of human immunoglobulin G4. GS-3583 has PK properties that support sustained cDC in patients and potential combination with established immunotherapies. This phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, dose-finding study will evaluate safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of GS-3583 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT04747470). Methods: Approximately 33 adults aged ≥18 years with a histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumor that is refractory to or intolerant of standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available will be enrolled. The study employs a 3+3 dose escalation design in which GS-3583 is administered intravenously for up to 52 weeks or until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Up to five dose escalation cohorts have been planned. The maximum tolerated dose is the highest dose with incidence of DLT in < 33% of 6 or more patients in the first 28 days of GS-3583 dosing; recommended phase 2 dose will be determined. Assessments include safety, PK, pharmacodynamics including cDCs, immunogenicity, and efficacy by RECIST 1.1 in CT/MRI imaging conducted every 8 weeks. Accrual at approximately 3-4 centers in the US is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04747470.

e13009 Background: A is an orally bioavailable, irreversible, ErbB Family Blocker. This open label, Phase I, dose escalation trial investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of A in two parallel dose cohort expansion parts, in combination with either G (Part A) or docetaxel (Part B) in patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Preliminary results from Part A are presented here. Methods: Eligible patients (confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumors, ECOG PS 0–1) received once-daily, oral dosing of A in combination with G, given intravenously at Day 1 and at Day 8 of every 3 week cycle. Dosing of A started on Day 2 of Cycle 1. The primary objective was to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed in Cycle 1. Dose escalation was performed with cohorts of 3–6 patients using a 3+3 design. Initial starting dose level was A 30 mg/day and G 1000mg /m², escalating up to A 50 mg/day and G 1250 mg/m², until the MTD was reached, and followed by a PK expansion cohort of 12 patients at the MTD level. Incidence and severity of AEs were recorded. Results: To date, 19 patients have been treated on study with the following baseline characteristics: mean age (53.7 years), women (63.2%) and number of prior chemotherapies (≤2: 26%, >2: 74%). Twelve patients received 2–4 cycles of treatment and five patients received 4 or more cycles. AEs observed in most patients were diarrhea (89.5%) and rash (63.2%). In Cycle 1, DLTs were experienced by one patient out of six receiving A 30 mg and G 1250 mg/m². MTD was exceeded at a dose level of at least A 40 mg/day and G 1250 mg/m². An intermediate dose level of A 40 mg/day and G 1000 mg/m² is currently under evaluation. Conclusions: In patients with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors, the combination of A with G is well tolerated, with manageable AEs. Dose finding is ongoing and MTD, safety profile and preliminary evidence of activity are anticipated to be reported at time of presentation.
