33 Background: Cemiplimab (REGN2810), a high-affinity, highly potent, human monoclonal antibody to PD-1, has demonstrated a safety profile comparable with that of other anti-PD-1 antibodies and antitumor activity in various solid tumors including cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in pts outside of Japan. We present analysis of Part 1 of a two-part, multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study of cemiplimab in Japanese pts with advanced malignancies. Methods: Part 1 dose exploration pts received either cemiplimab 250 mg (n=6) or 350 mg (n=7) Q3W IV for up to 108 weeks. Tumor measurements were performed every 9 weeks according to RECIST 1.1. Data cut-off date was July 13, 2018. Results: Thirteen pts were enrolled: median age, 62 years (range: 33–75); 8 F. Twelve (92.3%) and 7 (53.8%) pts had received prior cancer-related systemic therapy and radiotherapy, respectively. Median duration of cemiplimab exposure was 13.1 weeks (range: 3.0–54.6). At the data cut-off date Part 1 was fully enrolled and 9 pts (69.2%) had discontinued treatment, primarily due to disease progression (n=7, 53.8%). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were contact dermatitis, rash, and viral upper respiratory tract infection, each occurring in 3 pts (23.1%). The following grade ≥3 TEAEs occurred in 1 pt (7.7%): hypophosphatemia, hyponatremia, autoimmune colitis, and dehydration; the last two events occurred in the same pt. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. Cemiplimab serum concentrations were as expected from the reported PK characteristics of cemiplimab. Objective response rate (ORR; complete response + partial response [PR]) and disease control rate (ORR + stable disease [SD]) were 23.1% (3 PR) and 53.8% (7/13; 4 SD), respectively. Conclusions: Cemiplimab exhibited substantial antitumor activity in Japanese pts with advanced malignancies. Cemiplimab 350 mg Q3W dosing regimen was selected for the expansion studies. The safety profile was comparable with those previously reported for cemiplimab and other anti-PD-1 agents. Part 2 is open and enrolling pts with NSCLC in Japan. Clinical trial information: NCT02760498.

Abstract Purpose Part 1 of this two-part, open-label, Phase 1 study (NCT03233139) assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and clinical activity of cemiplimab in Japanese patients with advanced malignancies. Methods Patients received cemiplimab 250 mg (n = 6) or 350 mg (n = 7) every 3 weeks intravenously for up to 108 weeks in Part 1. Tumor responses were assessed by investigators every 9 weeks using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Results Of 13 patients enrolled, median age was 62 years (range 33–75) and eight patients were female. Median duration of cemiplimab exposure was 13.1 weeks (range 3.0‒113.6). At the time of data cut-off, 11 patients (84.6%) had discontinued treatment (majority due to disease progression: n = 8, 61.5%). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade were contact dermatitis, rash, and viral upper respiratory tract infection (each n = 3, 23.1%). Five grade ≥ 3 TEAEs were reported in four patients: autoimmune colitis, dehydration, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, and muscular weakness. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported and no TEAEs led to death. Cemiplimab concentrations in serum were consistent with previously reported pharmacokinetic characteristics of cemiplimab. No anti-drug antibodies were detected in serum. Objective response rate [ORR; complete response + partial response (PR)] was 30.8% (four PR) and disease control rate [ORR + stable disease (SD)] was 46.2% (6/13; two SD). Conclusion Cemiplimab exhibited antitumor activity in Japanese patients with advanced malignancies. The safety profile was comparable to those previously reported for cemiplimab and other PD-1 inhibitors. Trial registration NCT03233139 at ClinicalTrials.gov. Graphic abstract

9014 Background: No approved targeted therapies are available for EGFR ex20ins+ mNSCLC. Mobocertinib, a first-in-class, potent, oral TKI targeting EGFR ex20ins mutations, has Breakthrough Therapy Designation in the US and China for post-platinum-based chemotherapy pts with EGFR ex20ins+ mNSCLC. Methods: This 3-part, open-label, multicenter study (NCT02716116) has dose-escalation/expansion and extension (EXCLAIM) cohorts. Pts with EGFR ex20ins+ mNSCLC, ECOG status 0–1, and ≥1 prior line of therapy for locally advanced/metastatic disease received mobocertinib 160 mg QD. Primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR; RECIST v1.1) assessed by independent review committee (IRC). We present additional efficacy and safety data for 114 platinum-pretreated pts (PPP) and 96 pts from EXCLAIM safety cohort. Results: Results are from Nov 1, 2020, data cutoff. Among PPP pts (n=114; median age 60 y [27–84 y]), 66% were female, 60% were Asian, and 59% had ≥2 prior systemic anticancer lines. Confirmed ORR per IRC was 28%, including 1 complete response (CR); disease control rate (DCR) was 78% [95% CI: 69–85]; median duration of response (DOR) was 17.5 mo (Table). In EXCLAIM (n=96; median age 59 y [27–80 y]), 65% were female, 69% were Asian, and 49% had ≥2 prior lines. Confirmed ORR per IRC was 25%, with 1 CR; DCR was 76% [95% CI: 66–84]; median DOR was not reached (Table). In EXCLAIM, baseline brain metastases were present in 33/96 pts (34%); the first site of disease progression by IRC was the brain in 40% of all pts and 73% of pts with baseline brain metastases. Confirmed responses were seen in all prespecified subgroups in PPP and EXCLAIM. Efficacy by EGFR ex20ins mutation variant will be presented. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs; >20%) in PPP were diarrhea (91%), rash (45%), paronychia (38%), decreased appetite (35%), nausea (34%), dry skin (31%), vomiting (30%), increased blood creatinine (25%), stomatitis (24%), and pruritus (21%); the only grade ≥3 TRAE in ≥5% was diarrhea (22%). AEs leading to discontinuation in >2% were diarrhea (4%) and nausea (4%). A similar safety profile was observed in EXCLAIM. Conclusions: Mobocertinib demonstrated clinically meaningful benefit for pts with EGFR ex20ins+ mNSCLC in PPP and EXCLAIM cohorts, with a manageable safety profile. Clinical trial information: NCT02716116. [Table: see text]

6025 Background: CDX-3379, an anti-ErbB3 monoclonal antibody with a half-life-extending YTE modification in its Fc region, binds a unique epitope that locks ErbB3 in an inactive form and inhibits ErbB3 signaling, the latter implicated in tumor growth/resistance to anticancer therapies. CDX-3379 enhances antitumor activity of targeted therapies in preclinical models. In a Phase 1 clinical study, CDX-3379 was well-tolerated alone and in combination with cetuximab. A durable complete response (CR) to CDX-3379 + cetuximab was observed (8.3 months) in a patient (pt) with cetuximab-refractory HNSCC (Falchook ASCO 2016). Methods: This open-label phase 2 study (NCT03254927) was designed to enroll up to 30 pts with advanced, HPV-, HNSCC, previously treated with cisplatin, anti-PD-1 antibodies, and cetuximab-resistant (progression within 6 months), according to a Simon’s 2-stage design (13 evaluable pts in Stage 1 with ≥1 objective response allows enrollment of 14 more pts in 2nd stage). Pts receive CDX-3379 (initial dose 12 mg/kg IV every 21 days) + cetuximab (loading dose 400 mg/m2; 250 mg/m2 IV weekly) until disease progression/toxicity. Endpoints include objective response rate (primary), progression-free and overall survival, safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and exploratory biomarkers. Results: Stage 1 accrual is complete with 14 evaluable pts treated. All pts were heavily pretreated; prior therapies included surgery (10/14) and chemotherapy (13/14). All pts had prior radiation, cetuximab and PD-1 targeted therapy. One confirmed ongoing CR (8.1+ months) was observed. 7/14 pts experienced stable disease (SD), including 4 with tumor shrinkage (8-27.5% reduction). Three pts continue treatment. Treatment-related adverse events were generally grade 1-2 and included diarrhea (53%), hypokalemia (20%), prolonged QT interval (13%) and rash (13%). Conclusions: CDX-3379 in combination with cetuximab is well tolerated with the primary toxicity of diarrhea. Signs of antitumor activity were observed in these cetuximab-resistant HNSCC pts, including an ongoing, durable CR. Complete stage 1 results will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT03254927.

2564 Background: Dostarlimab is an investigational, humanized programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor monoclonal antibody that blocks interaction with the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2. GARNET (NCT02715284) is a phase 1 study assessing the antitumor activity and safety of dostarlimab monotherapy in patients with solid tumors. Methods: This multicenter, open-label, single-arm study is being conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation and expansion. Here we report on the 2 expansion cohorts that enrolled mismatch repair–deficient/microsatellite instability–high (dMMR/MSI-H) patients. Cohort A1 enrolled patients with advanced or recurrent dMMR/MSI-H endometrial cancer (EC), and cohort F enrolled patients with advanced or recurrent dMMR/MSI-H or POLε-hypermutated non-EC solid tumors, mainly gastrointestinal (GI) tumors (99 [93.4%] had GI tumors, including 69 [65.1%] with colorectal cancer). Patients received 500 mg IV of dostarlimab every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, then 1000 mg IV every 6 weeks until disease progression or discontinuation. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) by RECIST v1.1. Here we report ORR and DOR, by individual cohort and as an overall population, in patients with dMMR tumors identified by immunohistochemistry testing. Results: For this interim analysis, an efficacy analysis was performed for the patients who had baseline measurable disease and ≥6 months of follow-up in the study (N = 209). The ORR was 41.6% (95% CI, 34.9%–48.6%) for the combined A1+F dMMR cohorts (Table). Responses were durable, and median DOR has not been reached in either cohort (median follow-up: cohort A1, 16.3 months; cohort F, 12.4 months). A total of 267 patients were included in the safety population (all patients who received ≥1 dose; cohort A1, N = 126; cohort F, N = 141). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were consistent across tumor types. Overall, the most frequently reported any-grade TRAEs were asthenia (13.9%), diarrhea (13.5%), and fatigue (11.2%). The most common grade ≥3 TRAEs were anemia (2.2%), lipase increased (1.9%), alanine aminotransferase increased (1.1%), and diarrhea (1.1%). No deaths were attributed to dostarlimab. Conclusions: Dostarlimab demonstrated durable antitumor activity in patients with dMMR solid tumors, with consistent antitumor activity seen across endometrial and nonendometrial tumor types. The safety profile was manageable, with no new safety signals detected. Most TRAEs were low grade and were similar across cohorts. Clinical trial information: NCT02715284. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background This first-in-human phase 1 trial is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, preliminary efficacy, and biomarkers of sugemalimab, a full-length, fully human anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, in Chinese patients with advanced malignancies. Methods Eligible patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic solid tumors or lymphomas were enrolled in phase 1a to receive sugemalimab following a modified 3 + 3 design. The primary endpoints included safety, tolerability, and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). In phase 1b, patients with 7 selected types of tumor received sugemalimab at the RP2D alone (monotherapy cohorts) or in combination with standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy (combination cohorts). The primary endpoint of phase 1b was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Results As of 19 February 2020, 29 and 178 patients were treated in phase 1a and 1b, respectively. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in phase 1a, and the RP2D of sugemalimab was determined as 1200 mg fixed dose once every 3 weeks. Sugemalimab-related adverse events (AEs) were mostly (75.9%) grade 1–2 in phase 1a. Antitumor activity was observed across dose levels with an ORR of 24.1%. In phase 1b, 15.9% and 40.4% of patients in the monotherapy and combination cohorts, respectively, reported grade 3–5 sugemalimab-related AEs. Promising efficacy was observed in all combination cohorts, with ORRs ranging from 47.6 to 75.0%. Exploratory biomarker analysis did not indicate significant differences in responses at different PD-L1 expression/tumor mutation burden levels. Conclusions Sugemalimab was well-tolerated and showed promising antitumor activity as monotherapy or in combination with SOC chemotherapy in advanced malignancies. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on Oct 18, 2017, number NCT03312842.

4071 Background: Durvalumab, an anti-PD-L1 mAb, has shown early and durable clinical activity with manageable safety in an ongoing Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study in pts with advanced solid tumors. Interim analyses from the HCC cohort in the dose-expansion part of this study are reported here. Methods: Patients with HCC (Child-Pugh class A) received durvalumab 10 mg/kg i.v. q2w for 12 months or until confirmed progressive disease, whichever occurred first. The primary objective was to evaluate the safety profile; secondary objective was to assess the antitumor activity (investigator-assessed RECIST v1.1). Clinical activity was evaluated for the total HCC population and by viral status. Results: As of Oct 24 2016, 40 HCC pts with median 23.9 (range 2.4–34.7) weeks follow-up received durvalumab. 93% had prior sorafenib. Treatment-related AEs occurred in 80.0% of pts, most commonly fatigue (27.5%), pruritus (25.0%) and elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (22.5%). Grade 3–4 treatment-related AEs were reported in 20.0% of pts, most commonly elevated AST (7.5%) and elevated alanine aminotransferase (5.0%). 7 (17.5%) pts completed the initial 12-month treatment and 7 (17.5%) pts discontinued treatment because of an AE (none related to treatment). There were no deaths due to treatment-related AEs. Clinical activity is presented in the table. 4 pts achieved a PR; 2 were ongoing at data cut-off. Conclusions: Durvalumab had an acceptable safety profile and showed promising antitumor activity and OS in pts with HCC, particularly HCV+ pts. Clinical trial information: NCT01693562.

BackgroundCombination treatments with immune-checkpoint inhibitor and antiangiogenic therapy have the potential for synergistic activity through modulation of the microenvironment and represent a notable therapeutic strategy in recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). We report the results of camrelizumab (an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibody) in combination with famitinib (a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) for the treatment of platinum-resistant ROC from an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 basket trial.MethodsEligible patients with platinum-resistant ROC were enrolled to receive camrelizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks by intravenous infusion) and oral famitinib (20 mg once daily). All patients had disease progression during or <6 months after their most recent platinum-based chemotherapy. Primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) V.1.1 based on investigator’s assessment. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), 12-month OS rate and safety profile.ResultsOf the 37 women enrolled, 11 (29.7%) patients had primary platinum resistant, 15 (40.5%) patients had secondary platinum resistant and 11 (29.7%) patients had primary platinum refractory disease. As the cut-off date of April 9, 2021, nine (24.3%) patients had achieved a confirmed objective response, the ORR was 24.3% (95% CI, 11.8 to 41.2) and the DCR was 54.1% (95% CI, 36.9 to 70.5). Patients with this combination regimen showed a median TTR of 2.1 months (range, 1.8–4.1) and a median DoR of 4.1 months (95% CI, 1.9 to 6.3). Median PFS was 4.1 months (95% CI, 2.1 to 5.7), and median OS was 18.9 months (95% CI, 10.8 to not reached), with the median follow-up duration of 22.0 months (range, 12.0–23.7). The estimated 12-month OS rate was 67.2% (95% CI, 49.4 to 79.9). The most common ≥grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were hypertension (32.4%), decreased neutrophil count (29.7%) and decreased platelet count (13.5%). One (2.7%) patient died of grade 5 hemorrhage that was judged possibly related to study treatment by investigator.ConclusionThe camrelizumab with famitinib combination appeared to show antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with platinum-resistant ROC with an acceptable safety profile. This combination might provide a novel alternative treatment strategy in platinum-resistant ROC setting and warranted further exploration.Trial registration numberNCT03827837.

2609 Background: MM-121 is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor family member ErbB3. ErbB3 has been implicated in driving cancer growth and in the development of resistance to conventional chemotherapies across multiple malignancies. Here we present results of an open-label, Phase 1, multicenter, non-randomized, dose-escalation trial which recently completed enrollment evaluating MM-121 in combination with one of the following chemotherapies: Gemcitabine (Arm A, n=11), carboplatin (Arm B, n=11), pemetrexed (Arm C, n=10), or cabazitaxel (Arm D, n=11). Methods: Patients were treated in a dose escalation “3+3” design to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MM-121 administered weekly in combination with anticancer therapies in subjects with advanced cancer. Doses were escalated until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was identified or the combination was shown to be tolerable at the highest planned doses. Secondary objectives included: Determining the objective response rate, clinical benefit rate, PK and immunogenicity of MM-121. Data summarized are as of 1/17/2013 from a live database. Results: Overall, 43 patients, [22 (51%) female and 21 (49%) male] have been treated with a median treatment duration of 57 days (range 1-302). The median age was 59 years (range 42-84) and patients had received a median of four prior lines of therapy (range 0-13). Common (>20%) adverse events of any grade and causality across all arms included diarrhea (74%), nausea (54%), fatigue (51%), anemia (44%), vomiting (33%), hypokalemia (30%), decreased appetite (26%), thrombocytopenia (26%), peripheral edema (23%), neutropenia (21%), and constipation (21%). Four DLTs were observed: Two in combination with carboplatin (G4 thrombocytopenia and G3 rash), one with gemcitabine (G4 thrombocytopenia), and one with pemetrexed (G4 hyperuricemia). Overall 38 (88%) patients were evaluable for response and the overall clinical benefit rate (PR or SD >18 weeks), is 32% (12/38). Conclusions: MM-121 can be combined at its recommended single agent dose with standard doses of gemcitabine, pemetrexed, and cabazitaxel and adapted doses of carboplatin. Clinical trial information: NCT01447225.
