3589 Background: Aurora Kinase A (AKA) is a key mitotic regulator overexpressed in multiple solid tumors. This open-label dose escalation and expansion phase I study evaluated the safety and tolerability of alisertib (MLN8237), an oral AKA inhibitor, in combination with gemcitabine. Methods: In dose escalation, patients (pts) > 18y with refractory solid tumors received 28-day cycles of gemcitabine on days 1, 8, 15 and alisertib twice daily on days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17. Gemcitabine was given at 1000mg/m2. Four dose levels (DL) of alisertib (20-50mg) were given per 3+3 design to investigate dose limiting toxicities (DLT) in cycle 1, to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D). In dose expansion, advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma pts received the MTD dose twice daily on a modified dosing schedule to allow for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation. Anti-tumor activity was assessed by response rate (RECIST 1.1) and progression-free survival (PFS). PK evaluation of plasma gemcitabine and alisertib was performed on all pts enrolled in the dose expansion. PK sampling was performed before treatment, immediately after gemcitabine infusion, and at other pre-specified post-infusion timepoints. Results: Twenty-six pts were treated in total: 21 pts in dose escalation and 5 pts in dose expansion. Overall, median age was 57y [42-82]; 50% male; 62% PS 1 (16 pts); 2 [0-7] median prior therapies. In the dose escalation phase, 9 tumor types were included and NSCLC was most common (7 pts). Maximum administered dose (DL4) achieved 900 mg alisertib per cycle and was tolerated (1 DLT in 6 pts). The dose expansion phase enrolled 5 pts with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma; median age 63y [48-82]; 60% male; 60% PS 1 (3 pts); 2 [1-2] median prior therapies. Grade ≥3 TRAEs were observed in 73% of all pts and were predominantly hematologic, including neutropenia (54%), leukopenia (50%), and lymphopenia (31%). Similar TRAEs were seen at DL4; all 14 pts experienced neutropenia with 64% experiencing grade ≥3 neutropenia. Fourteen of 23 evaluable pts (61%) had stable disease and 2 pts (9%) had partial response (PR) as best overall response. Median PFS was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.0-4.2). Analysis of PK data is ongoing and will be reported. Conclusions: Alisertib can be safely administered with gemcitabine. RP2D for alisertib is 50 mg PO BID in combination with full dose gemcitabine. Best response was at least stable disease in a majority of pts with PR observed in 9% of this heavily pretreated group of patients. Most grade ≥3 TRAEs were hematologic. Results of PK studies will also be reported. Clinical trial information: NCT01924260 .

e14525 Background: MGCD265 is a novel multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor that targets the mesenchymal epithelial transition (c-Met) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors (VEGFR1, VEGFR2, and VEGFR3). Additional RTK targets include Tie-2, and Ron. Those kinases are known to be involved in tumor development and angiogenesis. The objective of this Phase I study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of daily administration of MGCD265 in patients with solid tumors. Methods: This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation study of oral MGCD265 administered as a continuous 21-day cycle. Cohorts of 3–4 patients were enrolled per dose level, initially with dose doubling between cohorts, followed by smaller increments once grade 2 drug-related toxicity is observed. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as: grade 4 neutropenia; grade 4 thrombocytopenia; any > grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity; severe/sustained hypertension; or any toxic effect leading to a patient missing > 4 doses of MGCD265. Treatment would continue until disease progression or toxicity. Results: Ten patients with advanced solid tumors have been treated. Characteristics: age range 25–75; gender: 8 M/2F; ECOG: 0 (1 patient); 1 (9 patients). At dose levels of 24, 48 and 96 mg/m2, no DLTs nor grade 2 or greater drug-related AEs during cycle 1 have been reported. Eight patients received treatment for 2 cycles or more. Preliminary PK profile after the first dose of administration shows a dose dependent increase in AUC and Cmax with an approximate mean half-life of 23 hours (see Table below). At the 96 mg/m2 dose, exposure was in the range of the lower end of the efficacious exposure in certain xenograft models. PD markers including plasma HGF and VEGF and shed/soluble receptors s-Met and s-VEGFR2 have been evaluated. Conclusions: Daily oral administration of MGCD265 was found to be well tolerated at doses of 24, 48, and 96 mg/m2. Further dose escalation is underway. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract TAS0728 is an oral covalent binding inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). A first-in-human open-label, dose-escalation, phase I study (NCT03410927) was initiated to investigate the safety and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose of TAS0728 in adults with advanced solid tumors with HER2 or HER3 overexpression, amplification or mutation. In total, 19 patients received TAS0728 at escalating doses from 50 to 200 mg BID for 21-day cycles. Following escalation of the dose to 200 mg BID, a total of two DLTs were observed, both cases of Grade 3 diarrhea (lasting >48 hours and not responsive to aggressive antidiarrheal treatment). Following de-escalation of the dose to 150 mg BID, another DLT of Grade 3 diarrhea was observed in one patient. Additionally, at 150 mg BID, one patient had a fatal cardiac arrest after receiving 1 cycle (21 days) of TAS0728. The etiology of the cardiac arrest event was not clear, however causal relationship to TAS0728 could not be excluded due to the temporal association observed. Partial responses were observed in 2 of 14 patients evaluable for TAS0728 treatment response. The study was stopped due to unacceptable toxicity during the dose-escalation as the overall risk-benefit ratio no longer favored the dose level being tested, therefore the MTD was not determined. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT03410927; registered on January 25, 2018.

3022 Background: Activation of the Src kinase pathway has been observed in about 50% of cancers of the colon, liver, lung, breast and pancreas. Ceppi, et al, explored that Src inhibitors might be synergistic in combination with pemetrexed. Bosutinib is an approved oral ATP-competitive Bcr-Abl tyrosine-kinase inhibitor with an inhibitory effect on Src kinases. Methods: In this phase 1, dose-escalation study, we enrolled 10 patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors who progressed on standard of care chemotherapy, 9 of whom were evaluable, to receive bosutinib and pemetrexed. Bosutinib was administered once daily in a 3 + 3 dose-escalation study design where the first cohort started at an oral dose of 200 mg daily with I.V. pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on a three weekly schedule. The primary objective was to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bosutinib with pemetrexed, and the type and frequency of adverse events. Secondary objective(s) were to estimate tumor response rate (RR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: All patients had progressed on prior chemotherapy and included 9 patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung, and 1 patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the appendix. Two patients (22%) had prior pemetrexed exposure. Median age was 62 years (range, 58-44). The median number of bosutinib and pemetrexed cycles received was 2 (range, 1-4). Nine patients were evaluable. The MTD of bosutinib was 300 mg daily in this combination as 2 out of the 3 patients who received 400 mg experienced elevated liver transaminases (>CTCAE Grade 3) and one patient experienced grade 3 fatigue. Two patients (22%) had a partial response, and 6 patients (67%) had stable disease, including 2 patients with prior pemetrexed exposure, and 1 patient had disease progression. The two responders and the subject with the longest stable disease duration demonstrated Src overexpression on immunohistochemical staining of their tumor. Two patients died of sepsis; both had stable disease. Median PFS was 4.1 months (range, 1.2-11.6), and the median OS was 11.9 months (range, 4-36.7). Adverse events included pneumonia/sepsis, diarrhea, fatigue, rash, weakness, transaminitis, hypertension, and thrombocytopenia. Conclusions: The MTD of oral bosutinib was 300 mg daily in combination with pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Despite the limitations of this phase I study there appears potential efficacy of this combination in pretreated patients. We are currently enrolling patients in the expansion cohort. Clinical trial information: NCT03023319.

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.

10020 Background: Low-dose metronomic topotecan (mTP) represents a novel approach to chemotherapy delivery which, in preclinical models, may work synergistically with pazopanib (PZ) in targeting angiogenesis. This study was designed to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mTP/PZ in pediatric patients with solid tumors, while describing the safety and toxicity of this regimen. Methods: A phase I dose-escalation, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) study of mTP/PZ was conducted at ten sites across Canada, enrolling pediatric patients aged 2-21 years with relapsed/refractory solid tumors. Patients were treated with oral mTP and PZ suspension daily without interruption in 28-day cycles, with dose escalation in accordance with the rolling-six design. Five dose levels (0.12/125, 0.16/125, 0.22/125, 0.22/160, and 0.3/160 mg/m2/day of mTP/PZ) were evaluated. PK studies were performed on day 1 and at steady state, and PD studies included circulating angiogenic factors VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGF, endoglin and placental growth factor. Results: Thirty patients (pts) were enrolled, of whom 26 were evaluable for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), with median age 12 years (3-20). The most common diagnoses included osteosarcoma (8), neuroblastoma (NB, 7), Ewing sarcoma/PNET (4), and rhabdomyosarcoma (4). The most common grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) related to protocol therapy were neutropenia (18%), thrombocytopenia (11%), lymphocytopenia (11%), AST elevation (11%), and lipase elevation (11%). Only 2 cycle-1 DLTs were observed on study, both at the 0.3/160 mg/m2 mTP/PZ dose level (2/5 pts) comprising persistent grade 3 thrombocytopenia and grade 3 ALT elevation. No AEs experienced beyond cycle-1 required treatment discontinuation. Best response was stable disease in 10/25 pts (40%) for a median duration of 6.4 months (1.7-45.1). One patient with refractory NB achieved stable disease for 45 months and continued on mTP/PZ via compassionate access after study closure. PK and PD results are pending at this time. Conclusions: The combination of oral mTP and PZ is safe and tolerable in pediatric patients with solid tumors, with a RP2D of mTP 0.22 mg/m2/day and PZ suspension 160 mg/m2/day. Ten patients achieved stable disease for a median of 6 months. The lack of objective responses suggests that this combination is likely of limited benefit for relapsed disease, but may play a role as maintenance therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT02303028.

2578 Background: CZ48, the 20-O-propionate ester of camptothecin (CPT), is a prodrug of CPT first described by Cao et al. in 1998. The side-chain is enzymatically cleaved in tissues. This gives rise to CPT, a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I. Methods: An open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation Phase I study was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CZ48 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Initial dosing started qd po 80mg/m2, advancing to 2560mg/m2 for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 days rest. Dosing was restarted in cohorts of 3 patients tid po at 18mg/m2 and escalated to 1g/m2on a 5 days on, 2 days off schedule for 28 days. Patients were prescreened by measuring CPT levels in plasma following a single pilot dose of CZ48. Dose was doubled until occurrence of at least Grade 2 adverse event, at which time 3+3 patient cohorts with a dose escalation of 33%-100% were implemented. DLT in 2/6 patients defined the MTD as the preceding DLT dose. PK parameters were measured prior to dosing, days 1-5, and day 28 of Cycle 1. Results: Poor absorption led to initial qd dosing reaching 2560mg/m2 with no signs of DLT. Subsequent tid dosing showed improved plasma levels and arrival at DLT. 34 patients were treated across 8 dose levels from 18 to 1000 mg/m2. The most frequent study-related adverse effects were cystitis, vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue. Grade IV toxicities observed were febrile neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Preliminary PK data in the qd dosing showed poor correlation between dose and Cmax or AUC, while PK in tid patients showed slightly improved correlation between dose and both CZ48 AUC (Pearson's correlation coefficient ϱ=0.476, p<0.01) and CZ48 Cmax(ϱ =0.51, p<0.01). Evidence of clinical activity with stable disease ≥ 6 months was observed in 2 heavily pre-treated colon and one breast cancer patient. Conclusions: The MTD of tid po CZ48 administered 5 days on, 2 days off of 28-day cycle is between 750 mg/m2 and 576 mg/m2. Overall toxicity is relatively mild, with DLT being cystitis and myelosuppression. Even with tid dosing, PK values correlate poorly to dose. A new formulation with 3-5 fold higher preclinical absorption values is being considered for introduction into the trial. Clinical trial information: NCT00947739.

2544 Background: C-Met protein is a receptor tyrosine kinase which is overexpressed or mutated in a variety of tumor types, causing cell proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Tivantinib is an orally bioavailable small molecule which binds to the c-Met protein. This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tivantinib in combination with standard dose FOLFOX for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Patients with advanced solid tumors for which FOLFOX (5-FU IV 400 mg/m2 day 1; 5-FU CIV 2400 mg/m2 day 1; Leucovorin IV 400 mg/m2 day 1; Oxaliplatin IV 85 mg/m2 day 1) would be appropriate chemotherapy received escalating doses of tivantinib BID (days 1-14) in a standard 3 + 3 design. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), non-dose-limiting toxicities (NDLTs), safety, and preliminary efficacy were evaluated. Results: Fourteen patients (50% colorectal) were treated across 3 dose levels: 120 mg (n=3); 240 mg (n=5); 360 mg (n=6). No DLTs were observed until the 3rd dose level (treatment delay ≥3 days, secondary to grade 3 neutropenia). Common related adverse events (% grade 1/2; % grade 3/4) included: diarrhea (36%; 0%), neutropenia (0%; 29%), nausea (14%; 14%), vomiting (14%; 14%), dehydration (14%; 7%), and thrombocytopenia (14%; 0%). To date, 7 patients have been evaluated for response including 4 (57%) with stable disease evident at the 8-week evaluation (CRC, 2 patients; unknown primary favoring CRC, 1 patient; esophageal, 1 patient) and 3 (21%) with disease progression. The 4 patients with stable disease are continuing on treatment; three (CRC and unknown primary) had received prior FOLFOX. Conclusions: The addition of tivantinib to standard therapy FOLFOX appears tolerated up to its recommended phase II monotherapy dose of 360 mg. Preliminary efficacy is encouraging, and a phase II study is proceeding with this regimen for the first line treatment of advanced gastroesophageal patients. Clinical trial information: NCT01611857.

4015 Background: Mutations in the metabolic enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) occur in patients (pts) with cholangiocarcinoma (CC) and are detected in up to 25% of intrahepatic CC. mIDH1 produce the oncometabolite, D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), resulting in epigenetic and genetic dysregulation and oncogenesis. AG-120 is a first-in-class, potent, oral inhibitor of mIDH1 tested in this phase I study in mIDH1 solid tumors, including CC. Methods: AG-120 was escalated in a 3+3 design from 100 mg twice daily to 1200 mg once daily (QD) in 28-day cycles (N = 60, mIDH1 advanced solid tumors). Key eligibility for CC: recurrence of progressive mIDH1 CC following standard therapy (dose escalation) or at least a prior gemcitabine-based regimen (expansion cohort). Response (RECIST 1.1) was assessed every 8 weeks. Plasma and tumor tissue were collected for exploratory analyses. Results: Based on the safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data from dose escalation, the 500 mg QD dose was selected for expansion in mIDH1 CC and other mIDH1 solid tumors. As of Dec 16, 2016, 73 pts with mIDH1 CC had been dosed in the dose escalation (n = 24) and expansion (n = 49) cohorts. Demographics: M/F = 24/49, median number of prior therapies = 2 (range 1–5), ECOG 0–1 = 26/47. There were no dose-limiting toxicities. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) in ≥5% pts: fatigue (21%), nausea (18%), vomiting (12%), diarrhea (10%), decreased appetite (8%), dysgeusia (5%), QT prolongation (5%). Two (3%) pts experienced related grade 3 AEs: fatigue and low phosphorus. There were no AG-120-related AEs leading to discontinuation. Among the 72 efficacy evaluable (≥1 post baseline response assessment or discontinued prematurely) mIDH1 CC pts (24 in escalation and 48 in expansion cohort), 6% (n = 4) had a confirmed partial response and 56% (n = 40) experienced stable disease. The progression-free survival rate at 6 months was 40%, and 8 pts have been treated with AG-120 for ≥1 year. Conclusions: In this pretreated mIDH1 CC population, AG-120 was associated with a favorable safety profile and prolonged stable disease. A global, phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled study of AG-120 in mIDH1 CC has been initiated (ClarIDHy). Clinical trial information: NCT02073994.

BackgroundProbody® therapeutics are antibody prodrugs that are activated in the tumor microenvironment by tumor-associated proteases, thereby restricting the activity to the tumor microenvironment and minimizing ‘off-tumor’ toxicity. We report dose-escalation and single-agent expansion phase data from the first-in-human study of CX-072 (pacmilimab), a Probody checkpoint inhibitor directed against programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).MethodsIn the dose-escalation phase of this multicenter, open-label study (NCT03013491), adults with advanced solid tumors (naive to programmed-death-1/PD-L1 or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 inhibitors) were enrolled into one of seven dose-escalation cohorts, with pacmilimab administered intravenously every 14 days. The primary endpoints were safety and determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In the expansion phase, patients with one of six prespecified malignancies (triple-negative breast cancer [TNBC]; anal squamous cell carcinoma [aSCC]; cutaneous SCC [cSCC]; undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma [UPS]; small bowel adenocarcinoma [SBA]; and thymic epithelial tumor [TET]); or high tumor mutational burden (hTMB) tumors were enrolled. The primary endpoint was objective response (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors v.1.1).ResultsAn MTD was not reached with doses up to 30 mg/kg. A recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 10 mg/kg was chosen based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic findings in the expansion phase. Ninety-eight patients enrolled in the expansion phase: TNBC (n=14), aSCC (n=14), cSCC (n=14), UPS (n=20), SBA (n=14), TET (n=8), and hTMB tumors (n=14). Of 114 patients receiving pacmilimab at the RP2D, grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 10 patients (9%), serious TRAEs in six patients (5%), and treatment discontinuation due to TRAEs in two patients (2%). Grade ≥3 immune-related AEs occurred in two patients (rash, myocarditis). High PD-L1 expression (ie, >50% Tumor Proportion Score) was observed in 22/144 (19%) patients. Confirmed objective responses were observed in patients with cSCC (n=5, including one complete response), hTMB (n=4, including one complete response), aSCC (n=2), TNBC (n=1), UPS (n=1), and anaplastic thyroid cancer (n=1).ConclusionsPacmilimab can be administered safely at the RP2D of 10 mg/kg every 14 days. At this dose, pacmilimab had a low rate of immune-mediated toxicity and showed signs of antitumor activity in patients not selected for high PD-L1 expression.Trial registration numberNCT03013491.

Abstract Introduction: Lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory agent, and ibrutinib, a selective and covalent inhibitor of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, are orally bioavailable agents with promising single agent activity in relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL. We are conducting a phase I study of the combination of ibrutinib and lenalidomide to determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose limiting toxicities (DLT), and preliminary efficacy in patients with relapsed/refractory NHL. Methods: Patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL including diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), transformed, mantle cell, marginal zone, lymphoplasmacytic, and follicular lymphoma who have received at least one prior therapy were eligible. Prior autologous but not allogeneic stem cell transplant and prior lenalidomide were permitted. Prior ibrutinib, CNS involvement, and patients requiring anticoagulation were not permitted. ANC > 1000/mm3, platelets > 50,000/mm3, and creatinine < 2.0 mg/dL, ALT/AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN, bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, and ECOG PS 0-2 were required at study entry. Treatment consisted of escalating doses of lenalidomide days 1-21 and ibrutinib days 1-28 of a 28 day cycle. A standard 3+3 dose escalation schema was followed. DLTs were assessed during cycle 1 and included: treatment delays > 14 days for toxicity; grade 5 toxicity; tumor lysis syndrome requiring dialysis; tumor flare reaction nonresponsive to corticosteroids; ANC < 500 / mm3 or platelets <25, 000 / mm3 persisting > 7 days; grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia or infection; and any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity with the exception of DVT, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting amenable to medical therapy, correctable electrolyte abnormalities; grade 3 fatigue, or grade 3 maculopapular rash that resolved within 7 days. Patients without significant toxicity could continue treatment until disease progression. Response was assessed every 3 months for 12 months and then every 6 months until disease progression. Results: From September 2013 until July 2014, 13 patients have been treated. Median age is 68 years (range 45-85) with 9 males. Histologies include DLBCL (4), transformed (4), follicular (2), mantle cell (2), and lymphoplasmacyctic (1) lymphoma. Median number of prior therapies is 3 (range 2-9) with 4 patients having undergone prior autologous transplant. Four patients were treated at dose level (DL) 1 (lenalidomide 15 mg and ibrutinib 420 mg). One patient was replaced for rapid disease progression and 1 patient experienced DLT consisting of a grade 2 ischemic stroke while on aspirin with no history of cardiovascular disease that resulted in discontinuation of study therapy. As a result of this DLT, dose level 1 was expanded to 6 patients. A second DLT was observed, a grade 3 rash that resolved within 7 days with interruption of therapy but recurred with diffuse erythroderma within 4 hours of ibrutinib resumption on day 22 at 280 mg. A total of 6 patients were then treated at DL -1 (lenalidomide 10 mg and ibrutinib 280 mg), and no DLTs were encountered. Related grade 3-4 toxicities occurred in 4/13 patients (31%), including one patient with hypokalemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and pneumonia, two others with neutropenia and one with maculapapular rash. Patients have received a median of 3 cycles of therapy to date (range 1-5) and 5 remain on therapy. At DL 1, a patient with DLBCL achieved a complete response (CR) and patient with transformed follicular achieved a partial response (PR). At DL -1, a patient with DLBCL achieved a CR and a patient with mantle cell lymphoma achieved a PR. Four patients achieved stable disease. Reasons for study discontinuation include two patients with DLTs who were not evaluated for response, one patient with stable disease who went off study for alternative treatment, and five patients who have progressed. Conclusions: Combined therapy with lenalidomide and ibrutinib in patients with relapsed NHL has been well tolerated at doses of 10 mg and 280 mg respectively, although DLTs of recurrent rash and stroke were encountered with 15 mg lenalidomide and 420 mg ibrutinib. Dose escalation to an intermediate dose level with lenalidomide 10 mg and ibrutinib 420 mg is planned. If this dose level is deemed safe, intra-patient dose escalation of the lenalidomide from 10 mg in cycle 1 to 15 mg in cycle 2 with ibrutinib 420 mg continuously will be tested. Preliminary efficacy has been observed in patients with relapsed/refractory DLCL, MCL, and transformed NHL.
