3508 Background: APG-1387 is an IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) antagonist that has strong antitumor activity in multiple xenograft cancer models and acts as a host immune modulator, supporting its exploration for use in combination with checkpoint inhibitors for cancer therapy. Methods: This “3+3” dose escalation and dose expansion study evaluated APG-1387 combined with pembrolizumab in patients with refractory or intolerant advanced solid tumors (NCT03386526). APG-1387 was administered IV once weekly with pembrolizumab 200 mg on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Study aims were to assess safety/tolerability, recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy. Results: As of December 25, 2019, total 28 patients had been treated in 3 dose cohorts of APG-1387: 20 mg (n = 4), 30 mg (n = 3), and 45 mg (n = 21, 18 in dose expansion). The median line of prior systemic cancer therapies was 3.0 (1-12). No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs; ≥10%) were fatigue (28.6%), arthralgia (14.3%), headache (14.3%), and tumor pain (10.7%). One patient in the 45-mg cohort had grade 2 Bell’s Palsy. G3+ TRAEs were autoimmune colitis, hypoxia, increased lipase, mucosal inflammation, pneumonitis, and tumor pain in 1 patient each (3.6%). Treatment-related SAEs were 1 G3 autoimmune colitis, 1 G2 myocarditis, and 1 G3 pneumonitis. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/RP2D for APG-1387 was 45 mg. Among 25 efficacy-evaluable patients, 1 with ER+, HER2‒ breast cancer receiving APG-1387 30 mg after failing 5 lines of therapy (PD-1 treatment-naïve, microsatellite stable) achieved confirmed PR (-79.2%) for 6 cycles but discontinued due to pneumonitis; another patient with PD-L1‒ non‒small-cell lung cancer treated at 45 mg had confirmed PR (-65.0%) for 6 cycles (ongoing). Other 11 patients had SD for 2-11 cycles. The disease control rate was 52%. Preliminary PK data showed a dose-proportional increase in APG-1387 exposure from 20 mg to 45 mg. Preliminary PD data showed that APG-1387 induced rapid degradation of cellular IAP1 and X-linked IAP in peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples; Increased serum release of interleukins (IL-12, IL-10) and monocyte chemotactic protein 4 was dose and time dependent. Conclusions: APG-1387 combined with pembrolizumab is well tolerated. Encouraging antitumor effects were observed in patients with several tumor types. The ongoing study will further evaluate the efficacy of this combination. Clinical trial information: NCT03386526 .

TPS3161 Background: The p53 pathway has been implicated in antitumor immunity, including antigen presentation and T-cell proliferation. Loss of p53 function can increase resistance to immunotherapy across many tumor types. Eprenetapopt (eprenet) is a small molecule that stabilizes the folded structure of p53, resulting in activation of mutant p53 and stabilization of wild-type (WT) p53. It also targets the cellular redox homeostasis, resulting in induction of apoptosis in tumor cells. In vivo, mice carrying supernumerary copies of the TP53 gene harbor a pro-inflammatory tumor microenvironment, an effect recapitulated in TP53 normal-copy mice treated with eprenetapopt. Combining eprenetapopt and anti-PD1 or anti-CTLA4 therapy resulted in enhanced tumor growth inhibition and improved survival in TP53 WT mice inoculated with B16 melanoma and MC38 colon adenocarcinoma cells . Based on these results, we hypothesized that eprenet-induced p53 stabilization may augment response to immunotherapy. To test this hypothesis, we are conducting a phase 1b/2 study of eprenet in combination with pembrolizumab (eprenet+pembro) in pts with solid tumors. Methods: The primary objectives are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and to assess the safety and tolerability of eprenet+pembro in pts with advanced solid tumors. The secondary objectives are to estimate the anti-tumor activity and to describe the pharmacokinetics of the combination. Exploratory objectives include assessing predictive and pharmacodynamic markers of response. The study includes a safety lead-in with a 3+3 dose de-escalation design for pts with advanced solid tumors with known tumor TP53 mutation status ( TP53 WT is acceptable) (max 18 pts), followed by expansion cohorts in pts with NSCLC, gastric/GEJ and urothelial cancer (max 100 pts). In expansion, pts with urothelial and gastric cancers must be naïve to anti-PD-1/ L1 therapy. Eprenet is given IV once daily on Days 1–4 while pembro is administered on Day 3 of each 21-day cycle. The RP2D of eprenet+pembro is considered the dose at which ≤ 1 of 6 pts in a cohort has a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Primary endpoints are occurrence of DLTs, adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs with eprenet+pembro. Key secondary endpoints are best objective response, progression free survival and overall survival. Exploratory endpoints include gene mutations by next generation sequencing (including TP53), mRNA expression, multiplex immunohistochemistry and transcriptomics, multiplex flow cytometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells and cytokines in serum. Continuous monitoring of toxicity will be conducted. The trial opened in May 2020 and is actively enrolling patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04383938.

BackgroundM4112 is an oral, potent, and selective indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (TDO2) dual inhibitor. Here, we report preclinical data and first-in-human phase I data, including safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy, of M4112 monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.MethodsIn preclinical studies, M4112 was administered to mice with IDO1-expressing tumors to determine tumor IDO1 and liver TDO2 inhibition. In the phase I trial, patients received doses of M4112 two times per day in 28-day cycles until progression, toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D). The primary endpoint was the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and treatment-emergent changes in safety parameters. Other endpoints included pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor effects.ResultsIn mice, M4112 significantly decreased the kynurenine:tryptophan ratio in the liver and tumor. Fifteen patients received M4112 at five distinct dose levels (three patients per cohort: 100, 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg two times per day orally). Initially, all doses inhibited IDO1 ex vivo, but plasma kynurenine levels returned to or exceeded baseline levels after day 15. Despite initial changes in kynurenine, there was no significant reduction of plasma kynurenine at steady state. There was one DLT (grade 3 allergic dermatitis; 800 mg two times per day) and one grade 2 QT prolongation (800 mg two times per day), resulting in dose reduction (not a DLT). M4112 was well tolerated, and neither the MTD nor the RP2D was established. TEAEs included fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. The best overall response was stable disease (n=9, 60%).ConclusionsThere were no serious safety concerns at any dose. Although M4112 inhibited IDO1 activity ex vivo, plasma kynurenine levels were not reduced despite achieving target exposure.Trial registration numberNCT03306420.

Purpose This open-label, phase I, dose-escalation study assessed the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of sunitinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods Sunitinib (25, 37.5, or 50 mg) was administered orally once daily on three dosing schedules: 4 weeks on treatment, 2 weeks off treatment (Schedule 4/2); 2 weeks on treatment, 1 week off treatment (Schedule 2/1); and continuous daily dosing (CDD schedule). Capecitabine (825, 1,000, or 1,250 mg/m2) was administered orally twice daily on days 1 to 14 every 3 weeks for all patients. Sunitinib and capecitabine doses were escalated in serial patient cohorts. Results Seventy-three patients were treated. Grade 3 adverse events included abdominal pain, mucosal inflammation, fatigue, neutropenia, and hand-foot syndrome. The MTD for Schedule 4/2 and the CDD schedule was sunitinib 37.5 mg/d plus capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice per day; the MTD for Schedule 2/1 was sunitinib 50 mg/d plus capecitabine 1,000 mg/m2 twice per day. There were no clinically significant pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions. Nine partial responses were confirmed in patients with pancreatic cancer (n = 3) and breast, thyroid, neuroendocrine, bladder, and colorectal cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma (each n = 1). Conclusion The combination of sunitinib and capecitabine resulted in an acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced solid tumors. Further evaluation of sunitinib in combination with capecitabine may be undertaken using the MTD for any of the three treatment schedules.

TPS2657 Background: There is a high unmet medical need for the treatment (tx) of patients (pt) who are refractory to or relapse following tx with checkpoint inhibitors. Newer checkpoint therapies with novel mechanisms of action that can activate T cells and demonstrate antitumor activity in this pre-tx pt population are urgently needed. COM701 is a novel first-in-class humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to PVRIG (poliovirus receptor related immunoglobulin domain containing) blocking its interaction with its ligand, PVRL2. Both PVRIG and PVRL2 are part of the DNAM axis as are TIGIT and PD1. Inhibition of PVRIG leads to enhanced activation of T and NK cells, and PVRIG results in tumor growth inhibition in mouse tumor models. We hypothesize that COM701 will demonstrate antitumor activity in pts who are checkpoint inhibitor pre-tx. Methods: NCT03667716 is an ongoing open-label first-in-human phase 1 study in pts with advanced solid tumors. The initial part of this study (Arm A) will evaluate escalating doses of COM701 monotherapy IV Q3 weekly with single pt cohorts for the initial 4 and then 3+3 design. Key Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥18 yrs, histologically confirmed locally advanced/ metastatic solid malignancy and has exhausted available standard therapy, ECOG 0-1, prior anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137 permissible. Key Exclusion Criteria: Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy in the last 2 years, symptomatic interstitial or inflammatory lung disease, untx or symptomatic central nervous system metastases. Primary objectives are safety and tolerability of COM701 as measured by the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and dose-limiting toxicities (21-day DLT window), pharmacokinetics of COM701, and to identify the maximum tolerated dose and/or the recommended dose for expansion. Secondary objectives are to characterize the immunogenicity and preliminary antitumor activity of COM701. Statistical Considerations: AEs graded as per CTCAE v4.03, responses as per RECIST v1.1. The analyses of all study objectives will be descriptive and hypothesis generating. No DLTs have been observed in the single pt cohorts. Assessment of pts enrolled into cohort 5 is ongoing at the time of this submission. Clinical trial information: NCT03667716.

PURPOSE: RPR 109881A is a new semisynthetic taxoid compound that has a similar mechanism of action to docetaxel. The purpose of this phase I study was to characterize the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), toxicity profile, pharmacokinetic profile, and antitumor effects of this agent. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Nineteen eligible patients with advanced solid tumors were enrolled. RPR 109881A was administered as a 1-hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks at doses ranging from 15 to 75 mg/m2. Pharmacokinetic evaluation was performed at the first cycle. RESULTS: Neutropenia (febrile neutropenia) and fatigue were dose-limiting toxicities at doses of 60 and 75 mg/m2 and seemed to be dose-related. Both thrombocytopenia and anemia were infrequent. Nonhematologic toxicities were generally mild. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that RPR 109881A plasma disposition was bi- or triphasic, with a high total plasma clearance, a large volume of distribution, and a long terminal half-life. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and the peak concentration of RPR 109881A seemed to increase with increasing dose proportionally, suggesting linear pharmacokinetics. Urinary excretion over 48 hours was low, with a mean of 0.8 ± 0.36% of the administered dose. A significant relationship existed between the percentage decrease of neutrophil counts and the AUC of RPR 109881A. Among 18 assessable patients, two partial and two minor responses were documented. CONCLUSION: RPR 109881A was found to be a well-tolerated and promising taxoid agent. The MTD was 75 mg/m2, and the recommended dose for phase II study was 60 mg/m2 as a 1-hour infusion every 3 weeks.

Background: Pucotenlimab is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) anti programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) with a S228P hinge mutation and an engineered Fc domain. Preclinical data suggests that pucotenlimab exerts antitumor effects. In this phase I study, which was prospectively registered on www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn (CTR20180125), the safety, maximum tolerated dose, preliminary antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of pucotenlimab were evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Patients with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard therapies were recruited. In a 3+3 dose escalation study, 13 patients received pucotenlimab intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred at doses of 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 200 mg. 17 additional patients were assigned in the expansion period. Results: A total of 30 patients were enrolled. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The most common treatment-related adverse events of any grade were proteinuria (40%), fatigue (36.7%), weight loss (26.7%), fever (26.7%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (26.7%), rash (23.3%), and anorexia (20.0%). Partial responses occurred in five patients, with an objective response rate of 16.7%. Pharmacokinetics analysis showed rapid absorption followed by slow terminal elimination, with a mean half-life of 17.1–23.5 days across all dose groups. Conclusions: Pucotenlimab had an acceptable toxicity profile at doses up to 10 mg/kg and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Based on the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety profile, 3 mg/kg Q3W or 200 mg Q3W are optimal for further drug development.

Aurora Kinase B

3098 Background: Aurora kinase B (AURKB) represents a potential target for therapy in solid and hematological malignancies. AURKB inhibitor AZD1152 (barasertib) was previously investigated in solid tumor pts in a phase I setting. AZD2811-nanoparticle (np) is a novel, encapsulated slow release AURKB inhibitor offering several advantages over AZD1152 (Ashton S et al., Sci Transl Med 2016). We report the completed dose-escalation safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary activity and defined maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AZD2811-np in pts with advanced solid tumors (NCT02579226). Methods: Adult pts with advanced solid tumors received AZD2811-np IV on Day 1 (D1) and 4 (D4) Q4 week (wk) in six cohorts 15-200 mg/infusion without the use of g-csf in cycle 1. D1 Q4wk and Q3wk schedules were investigated up to 600 mg/infusion (including cohorts with mandatory g-csf prophylaxis on day 8). A standard 3+3 design was used. PK was assessed in cycle 1. Results: 50 pts were recruited into 12 cohorts. D1, D4 Q4wk schedule: 24 pts (15, 25,38, 50, 100 mg/infusion (n=3/cohort), 200 mg/infusion (n=9)). All cohorts were tolerated. Transient grade 4 neutropenia was observed in 7/9 pts at 200 mg/infusion, including 1 DLT (gr4 > 7 days) D1 Q4wk: 200 mg(n=3) was tolerated. D1 Q3wk: 23 pts were evaluated (200/400 mg (n=3,7), and 400/600/500 mg with mandatory g-csf (n=3/5/6)). 400 mg without g-csf was not tolerated (1 gr3 mucosal inflammation & 1 gr4 neutropenia > 7 days). 600 mg with g-csf was not tolerated (gr3 febrile neutropenia & gr3 fatigue). 25/50 pts experienced AE ≥gr 3 (21 considered AZD2811-np-related, 19 neutropenia-related, no deaths within-DLT period). AZD2811-np caused transient gr1/2 fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea and mucosal inflammation. AZD2811 total blood PK appears dose proportional with a t1/2 of 30-50 hours irrespective of schedule. Released AZD2811 concentrations ~1% of total. 14 pts (28%) had disease stabilisation. 1 prostate ca. pt had a confirmed partial response (PR) (continued tx to 451 days). Conclusions: The MTD for AZD2811-np is 500 mg D1 Q3wk. AZD2811-np is now being investigated in a small cell lung cancer expansion. Clinical trial information: NCT02579226.

BackgroundCancer immunotherapy has been established as a new therapeutic category since the recent success of immune checkpoint inhibitors and a type of adoptive immunotherapy, namely chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T). Although CAR-T demonstrated impressive clinical results, serious adverse effects (cytokine storm and on-target off-tumor toxicity) and undefined efficacy on solid tumors are important issues to be solved. We’ve developed a cutting-edge, simple, and feeder-free method to generate highly activated and expanded human NK cells from peripheral blood (US9404083, PCT/JP2019/012744, PCT/JP2020/012386), and have been conducting further investigation why our new type of NK cells, named as GAIA-102, are so effective to kill malignant cells.MethodsCryopreserved PBMCs purchased from vendors were mixed and processed by using LOVO and CliniMACS® Prodigy (automated/closed systems). CD3+ and CD34+ cells were depleted, and the cells were cultured with high concentration of hIL-2 and 5% UltraGRO® for 14 days in our original closed system. Then, we confirmed the expression of surface markers, CD107a mobilization and cell-mediated cytotoxicity against various tumor cells and normal cells with or without monoclonal antibody drugs in vitro and antitumor effects against peritoneal dissemination model using SKOV3 in vivo.ResultsImportantly, we’ve found that our GAIA-102 exhibited CD3-/CD56bright/CD57- immature phenotype that could kill various tumor cells efficiently from various origins, including Raji cells that was highly resistant to NK cell killing. More importantly, massive accumulation, retention, infiltration and sphere destruction by GAIA-102 were affected neither by myeloid-derived suppressor cells nor regulatory T-lymphocytes. GAIA-102 was also effective in vivo to murine model of peritoneal dissemination of human ovarian cancer; thus, these findings indicate that GAIA-102 has a potential to be an ‘upward compatible’ modality over CAR-T strategy, and would be a new and promising candidate for adoptive immunotherapy against solid tumors.ConclusionsWe now just started GMP/GCTP production of this new and powerful NK cells and first-in-human clinical trials in use of GAIA-102 will be initiated on 2021.Ethics ApprovalThe animal experiments were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Kyushu University (approval nos. A30-234-0 and A30-359-0).

Safety And Efficacy

3101 Background: IDO is an enzyme of interest in immuno-oncology because of the immunosuppressive effects that result from its role in tryptophan catabolism. Clinical trials of IDO inhibitors with immunotherapy are under active investigation. The addition of angiogenesis inhibitor may further enhance the anti-tumor immune responses. Here we report the safety and efficacy results of SHR9146 (IDO inhibitor) plus camrelizumab (PD-1 antibody) with/without apatinib (VEGFR-2 inhibitor) in patients (pts) with advanced solid cancers who failed standard antitumor therapies. Methods: This was an open-label, phase I study. Eligible puts would receive SHR9146 (escalated dose) plus camrelizumab (200 mg IV, q2w) alone (Cohort A) or in combination with apatinib (250 mg p.o. qd) (Cohort B). Each cohort was conducted according to a 3+3 dose escalation design. The starting dose of SHR9146 was 100mg bid, followed by 200, 400, 600 mg bid. The two primary endpoints were Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MDT). The secondary objective was to analysis the incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) and efficacy. Results: As of Oct 31, 2020, 23 pts have been enrolled (Cohort A:14, Cohort B: 9; median age: 54 years; median prior therapies: 2 lines;). Cohort A was escalating at 600mg, and Cohort B was escalating at 400mg. Two pts experienced DLTs: one DLT (G4 hypercalcemia) was observed at 600mg in Cohort A; the other DLT (G3 rash) was observed at 400mg in Cohort B. MDT was not reached and the study was still ongoing. In Cohort A, ORR and DCR in evaluable pts were 21.4% (3/14, all confirmed) and 42.9% (6/14). Partial response was observed in 3 pts with liver cancer (1/3), renal cancer (1/3), and cervix cancer (1/3). In Cohort B, ORR and DCR in evaluable pts were 33.3%(3/9, all confirmed) and 77.8%(7/9). Partial response was observed in 3 pts with SCLC (1/3), prostate cancer (1/3) and renal cancer (1/3). The incidence of pts with TRAEs and grade>=3 TRAEs were 91.3% (21/23) and 39.1% (9/23) respectively. The most common grade>=3 TRAEs were hypercalcemia (26.1%, 6/23), fatigue (17.4%, 4/23) and nausea (13.0%, 3/23). No fatal AEs were observed. G3 nausea, G3 lipase increased and G2 GGT increased resulted in SHR9146 dose reduction in 3 pts (Cohort A). Conclusions: SHR9146 plus camrelizumab in combination with/without apatinib demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity with acceptable safety in pts with advanced solid tumors. Further study is needed to validate the efficacy and safety. Clinical trial information: NCT03491631.

2506 Background: Alrizomadlin (APG-115) restores TP53 function, activating p53-mediated apoptosis in tumor cells with wild-type TP53 and/or MDM2 amplification. Alrizomadlin also functions as a host immunomodulator and hence may restore antitumor activity in pts with cancers failing PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Methods: This US multicenter trial assessed alrizomadlin combined with pembrolizumab in pts with unresectable/metastatic melanoma or advanced solid tumors that had failed I-O drugs; or pts with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), liposarcoma, or ATM mutant solid tumors that had failed any standard therapy. Eligible pts had ECOG performance status of 0-2 and no CNS metastases. The phase II study cohorts included pts with melanoma, NSCLC, solid tumor with ATM mutation, well-differentiated/dedifferentiated liposarcoma, urothelial carcinoma, and MPNST. Alrizomadlin was administered orally at 150 mg once every other day for 2 consecutive weeks with 1 week off and pembrolizumab at 200 mg via IV infusion for 30 minutes on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Results: As of December 25, 2020, 84 pts had been treated in 6 cohorts: melanoma (n = 26), NSCLC (n = 23), ATM mutation (n = 9), liposarcoma (n = 14), urothelial (n = 9), and MPNST (n = 3). In the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-failed melanoma cohort, there was 1 confirmed partial response (PR) out of 5 pts with uveal melanoma, 2 PR (1 confirmed and 1 unconfirmed) of 5 pts with mucosal melanoma, and 1 confirmed PR of 11 pts with cutaneous melanoma. ORR in the melanoma cohort was 17.4% (4/23 evaluable pts), and the disease control rate was 60.9% (14/23). In the MPNST cohort, 1 of 3 pts had an unconfirmed ongoing PR. In I-O drug-failed NSCLC (n = 14 evaluable) and urothelial (n = 5 evaluable) cohorts, each reported 1 confirmed PR. Common treatment (alrizomadlin or pembrolizumab)-related adverse events (TRAEs) (≥ 10%) were nausea (63.1%), thrombocytopenia (36.9%), vomiting (33.3%), fatigue (31.0%), decreased appetite (27.4%), diarrhea (21.4%), neutropenia (15.4%), and anemia (11.9%). Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs (≥ 5%) included thrombocytopenia (20.2%), neutropenia (14.2%), and anemia (8.3%). Eleven pts discontinued treatment due to AEs: 5 were treatment related, including 2 grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and 1 each of grade 2 vomiting, grade 2 fatigue, and grade 2 posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Three treatment-related SAEs were PRES, pyrexia, and asthenia. Conclusions: Alrizomadlin combined with pembrolizumab is well tolerated and may restore antitumor effects in pts with cancer resistant to or intolerant of I-O drugs, as suggested by preliminary antitumor activities in multiple tumor types.
