8510 Background: Selinexor is a first-in-class oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compound that binds and inactivates exportin 1 (XPO1). Selinexor in combination with low dose dexamethasone (Sel-dex) was approved by the FDA, based on data from the STORM study, wherein Sel-dex induced an overall response rate (ORR) of 26.2% in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory MM (RRMM). Single agent daratumumab has demonstrated an ORR of 29% in MM reftactory to proteasome inhibitors (PIs)/immunomodulatory drug (IMiDs). We evaluated the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the combination of Sel-dex and daratumumab (SDd) in pts with MM refractory to PIs/IMiDs. Methods: This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1b/2 dose escalation and expansion study. Pts were eligible if they had received ≥ 3 prior lines of therapy, including a PI and an IMiD, or whose MM was refractory to a PI and an IMiD. In the expansion phase, pts were required to be anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody-naïve. One dose level was tested at each schedule: selinexor once-weekly (QW at 100 mg) or twice-weekly (BIW at 60 mg) with dexamethasone 40 mg. Daratumumab 16 mg/kg IV was administered per label. Primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of SDd in pts with RRMM. Results: A total of 34 pts were enrolled; 3 in the 60 mg BIW and 31 in the 100 mg QW cohorts. Median age was 69 and median number of prior treatment regimens was 3 (range, 1–10). Out of 34 pts, 62% and 65% were refractory to bortezomib and lenalidomide respectively. Common treatment related adverse events (all grades, grades 3/4) included: thrombocytopenia (71%, 47%), fatigue (62%, 18%), nausea (71%, 9%), anemia (62%, 32%) and neutropenia (50%, 26%). Two dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were reported in the 60 mg BIW cohort: Grade 3 thrombocytopenia and Grade 2 fatigue requiring dose reduction in selinexor to 100 mg QW. In the 100 mg QW escalation cohort (n = 6), no DLTs occured. 32 patients were evaluable for efficacy. The ORR was 73% (11 VGPR, 11 PR) for 30 daratumumab-naïve pts. Median progression-free survival was 12.5 months in both groups. Conclusions: Based on tolerability and efficacy, the RP2D of SDd is selinexor 100 mg, daratumumab 16 mg/kg and dexamethasone 40 mg, administered QW. In pts with PI and IMiD refractory MM, weekly SDd demonstrated promising activity with an ORR of 73% in daratumumab-naïve pts and a median PFS of 12.5 months. This supports further development of a novel non-PI, non-IMiD backbone in earlier lines of therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT02343042 .

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.

High Grade Osteosarcoma

BackgroundResults of our previous study showed high objective response but short-term activity of apatinib in advanced osteosarcoma. We aimed to investigate the activity of apatinib in combination with camrelizumab in patients with inoperable high-grade osteosarcoma progressing after chemotherapy.MethodsThis open-label, phase 2 trial was conducted at Peking University People’s Hospital. We enrolled patients with advanced osteosarcoma progressed after chemotherapy. Patients received 500 mg apatinib orally once daily plus 200 mg camrelizumab by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) and clinical benefit rate at 6 months, which were based on RECIST V.1.1.Results43 patients were enrolled between January 25 and September 4, 2018. With median follow-up time of 48.3 (Q1, Q3, 30.6, 66.6) weeks, 13 (30.23%, 95% CI 17.2%, 40.1%) of 43 patients were progression free at 6 months and the 6-month PFS rate was 50.9% (95% CI 34.6%, 65.0%). Until final follow-up, the objective response rate was 20.9% (9/43) and two patients with durable disease control were observed. Patients with programmed cell death 1 ligand-1 (PD-L1) tumor proportion score ≥5% and pulmonary metastases tended to have a longer PFS in comparison to the others (p=0.004 and 0.017, respectively). Toxic effects led to dose reductions, or interruptions, or both in 24 (55.8%) of 43 patients and permanent discontinuation in 4 (9.3%) patients. There were no treatment-related deaths.ConclusionsAlthough the combination of apatinib and camrelizumab seemed to prolong PFS in comparison to single agent apatinib in treating advanced osteosarcoma, it did not reach the prespecified target of 6-month PFS of 60% or greater. Overexpression of PD-L1 and the presence of pulmonary metastases only were associated with longer PFS.Trial registration numberNCT03359018.

Abstract DREAMM-2 (NCT03525678) is an ongoing global, open-label, phase 2 study of single-agent belantamab mafodotin (belamaf; GSK2857916), a B-cell maturation antigen-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, in a frozen-liquid presentation in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Alongside the main study, following identical inclusion/exclusion criteria, a separate patient cohort was enrolled to receive belamaf in a lyophilised presentation (3.4 mg/kg, every 3 weeks) until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Primary outcome was independent review committee-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Twenty-five patients were enrolled; 24 received ≥1 dose of belamaf. As of 31 January 2020, ORR was 52% (95% CI: 31.3–72.2); 24% of patients achieved very good partial response. Median duration of response was 9.0 months (2.8–not reached [NR]); median progression-free survival was 5.7 months (2.2–9.7); median overall survival was not reached (8.7 months–NR). Most common grade 3/4 adverse events were keratopathy (microcyst-like corneal epithelial changes, a pathological finding seen on eye examination [75%]), thrombocytopenia (21%), anaemia (17%), hypercalcaemia and hypophosphatemia (both 13%), neutropenia and blurred vision (both 8%). Pharmacokinetics supported comparability of frozen-liquid and lyophilised presentations. Single-agent belamaf in a lyophilised presentation (intended for future use) showed a deep and durable clinical response and acceptable safety profile in patients with heavily pre-treated RRMM.

e19074 Background: S-1 is a novel oral 5-fluorouracil derivative that exhibits obvious activity against various tumor types including NSCLC. However, the effects of S-1 against SCLC have not been reported. The present phase II trial assesses the efficacy and safety of S-1 in previously treated SCLC patients. Methods: Eligible patients had pathologically documented SCLC that relapsed after platinum-based chemotherapy, ECOG performance status (PS) 0–2, and adequate bone marrow, kidney and liver function. Patients with untreated or symptomatic brain metastasis were excluded. Treatment comprised the oral administration of S-1 at 40 mg/m2 twice each day for 28 days every 6 weeks. The primary end point was the objective tumor response rate (RECIST). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and overall survival. Results: Twenty-six evaluable patients were enrolled (Simon's two-stage optimal design; α = 0.1; β = 0.1; P0 = 0.05; P1 = 0.25) with the following characteristics: male: female, 22/4; median age, 68 (33 - 79) y; PS0–1, n = 21; PS2, n = 5. The median number of prior treatment regimens was 2 (1–3). S-1 was administered for a mean of 1.3 cycles (1 - 5). One patient (3.8%) partially responded, 10 (38.5%) had stable and 15 (57.7%) had progressive disease. The overall response rate was 3.8% and the disease control rate was 42.3%. The median time to progression was 33 days. The median survival time was 8.0 months and the 1-year survival rate was 23%. This regimen was well tolerated. The common grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (7.7%), leukopenia (7.7%), anemia (7.7%), hyponatremia (7.7%), rush (7.7%), infection (7.7%), and diarrhea (3.8%). None of the patients developed febrile neutropenia and no deaths were attributed to treatment. Conclusions: S-1 is well tolerated but has low activity as a single agent in previously treated patients with SCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e15544 Background: Platinum resistant-refractory ovarian cancer (PRROC) patients have a poor outcome; single-agent therapy is still the gold standard, with overall response rate lesser than 20% and progression-free-survival is not higher than 4 months. Methods: We tested safety and activity of a two-drugs-regimen containing NPLED and cyclophosphamide in a phase II open label study. From October 2007 to October 2011 thirty-two patients with platinum-resistant/refractory disease were enrolled. Enrolled patients were pretreated with a median number of 2 lines of chemotherapy, ranging from 1 to 5. NPLED and cyclophosphamide were administered at the dose of 60 mg. and 600 mg p.s.m. respectively. Results: Patients received a median number of three cycles of chemotherapy. A total of 145 cycles were administered: as G3 toxicities we registered emesis (6%), diaorrhea (3%), asthenia, and alopecia. No grade 4 adverse events occurred. Among the 30 patients evaluable for response we observed 5 (17%) partial responses and 10 (33%) stable diseases. The median progression-free-survival was 13 weeks and the median survival was 46 weeks. Conclusions: These results are similar to other data reported in literature. In conclusion we may affirm that the association of NPLED and cyclophosphamide is active and safe when administered in PRROC, but it don’t modify the prognosis of this subset of patients.

Purpose New strategies are needed to improve outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that neutralizes vascular endothelial growth factor but is associated with GI perforations (GIPs) in patients with recurrent disease. Patients and Methods An open-label, phase II clinical trial was conducted in newly diagnosed patients with stage ≥ IC epithelial müllerian tumors. Patients received intravenous (IV) carboplatin (area under the curve = 5), paclitaxel (175 mg/m2 IV), and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg IV) for six to eight cycles on day 1 every 21 days. Bevacizumab was omitted in the first cycle and continued as a single agent for 1 year. Results Sixty-two women participated in this study. Fifty-one patients (82%) were optimally surgically cytoreduced before treatment. The median age was 58 years (range, 18 to 77 years). Forty-five women (73%) had ovarian cancer, 10 (16%) had peritoneal cancer, four (6%) had fallopian tube cancers, and three (5%) had uterine papillary serous tumors. The majority of patients (90%) had stage III or IV disease. A median of 17 maintenance cycles (range, 0 to 25+ cycles) of bevacizumab (556 cycles) were administered with mild toxicity. Treatment was associated with two pulmonary embolisms and two GIPs, all occurring during the chemotherapy phase of treatment (364 total cycles). No grade 4 toxicities were seen during maintenance bevacizumab treatment. Radiographic responses were documented in 21 (75%) of 28 women with measurable disease (11 complete responses and 10 partial responses), with CA-125 responses in 76% of patients (11 complete responses, 21%; and 35 partial responses, 55%). The progression-free survival rate at 36 months was 58%. Conclusion The regimen of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab with maintenance bevacizumab is feasible, safe, and worthy of future study in advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract Background Proteasome inhibitors (PIs), including carfilzomib, potentiate the activity of selinexor, a novel, first-in-class, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound, in preclinical models of multiple myeloma (MM). Methods The safety, efficacy, maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of selinexor (80 or 100 mg) + carfilzomib (56 or 70 mg/m2) + dexamethasone (40 mg) (XKd) once weekly (QW) was evaluated in patients with relapsed refractory MM (RRMM) not refractory to carfilzomib. Results Thirty-two patients, median prior therapies 4 (range, 1–8), were enrolled. MM was triple-class refractory in 38% of patients and 53% of patients had high-risk cytogenetics del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16) and/or gain 1q. Common treatment-related adverse events (all/Grade 3) were thrombocytopenia 72%/47% (G3 and G4), nausea 72%/6%, anaemia 53%/19% and fatigue 53%/9%, all expected and manageable with supportive care and dose modifications. MTD and RP2D were identified as selinexor 80 mg, carfilzomib 56 mg/m2, and dexamethasone 40 mg, all QW. The overall response rate was 78% including 14 (44%) ≥ very good partial responses. Median progression-free survival was 15 months. Conclusions Weekly XKd is highly effective and well-tolerated. These data support further investigation of XKd in patients with MM.

14040 Background: We are conducting a phase II trial of the proteasome inhibitor, PS-341, with or without irinotecan in pts with AGA. The combination of PS-341 and irinotecan has been studied in preclinical tumor models including a murine xenograft model of colon cancer, where the combination achieved significantly more tumor shrinkage than either agent alone. The primary objective of this study is to determine response rates, toxicities, progression-free survival, and overall survival in pts with AGA receiving PS-341 alone or in combination with irinotecan. Methods: All pts had gastric adenocarcinoma beyond the scope of surgical resection, measurable disease, and normal bone marrow, hepatic and renal function. All gave informed consent. In previously untreated patients, PS-341 was administered at 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 as IV bolus every 21 days. Irinotecan was administered IV at 125 mg/m2 over 90 mins on days 1 and 8 every 21 days (Arm A). For previously treated patients, PS-341 was administered as a single agent at 1.3mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, 11 as an IV bolus every 21 days (Arm B). Radiologic evaluation and tumor measurements were performed every 8 weeks. Results: Thirty-seven pts have been enrolled; 29 are evaluable (4 never treated, 4 TETE). Twenty-two pts were treated in Arm A, and 11 in Arm B. All pts were eligible and the 29 treated pts were fully evaluable. Median age 58 (33–87); 26 males/7 females; median number of cycles received was 2.0. Most common toxicities: Grade 4 cardiac arrest (1), stomach perforation (1), leukopenia (2), diarrhea (1), edema (1); Grade 3 nausea (6), vomiting (7), diarrhea (4), febrile neutropenia (3), thrombocytopenia (6), anemia (6); Grade 5 death (3). Severe toxicities likely attributed to disease progression. Response rate was 33% for Arm A, 9% for Arm B. Progression-free survival was 1.8 mo. in Arm A, 1.4 mo. in Arm B. Median overall survival was 4.8 mo. in Arm A, 5.4 mo. in Arm B. Conclusions: The combination of PS-341 and irinotecan, a non-cisplatin containing therapy, is active in AGA and should be considered a key regimen. Monotherapy with PS-341 has a 9% response rate in this population of pre-treated patients with advanced disease. Accrual to this study is continuing. [Table: see text]

6016 Background: Vandetanib is a once-daily oral anticancer agent that selectively targets VEGF, EGF and RET receptor tyrosine kinases. We report preliminary results from an ongoing open-label phase I study of vandetanib with RT ± cisplatin in patients (pts) with previously untreated, unresected, locally advanced (stage III-IV) HNSCC. Methods: Eligible pts received once-daily vandetanib for 14 days followed by either 1) concomitant vandetanib + RT (2 Gy/d, 5 d/wk; total 70 Gy) + cisplatin (30 mg/m2, 2 h iv infusion/wk) for 7 wks, or 2) concomitant vandetanib + RT (2.2 Gy/d accelerated fractionation, 5 d/wk; total 66 Gy) for 6 wks. The primary objective was to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of vandetanib in both regimens. The first pt cohort received vandetanib 100 mg/day; escalation to 200 mg and 300 mg in subsequent cohorts was permitted providing <2/6 (33%) pts in the preceding cohort experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Cohort expansion at the MTD of vandetanib was also planned. Results: As of Dec 1 2008, 24 pts (median age 53.5 yrs; 19 male; all M0) had received treatment with vandetanib + RT + cisplatin (n=18) or vandetanib + RT (n=6). In the triplet arm, no DLTs occurred in the initial vandetanib 100 mg cohort (n=6); an additional 6 pts were enrolled to receive vandetanib 200 mg but this dose was considered to exceed the MTD since DLTs were reported in 3/5 evaluable pts (Table). Vandetanib 100 mg was therefore declared the MTD with RT + cisplatin and cohort expansion at this dose continues. In regimen 2), 6 pts have received vandetanib 100 mg + RT and evaluation of this initial cohort is ongoing. Conclusions: This study, which continues to recruit, is the first to evaluate dual targeting of VEGFR/EGFR tyrosine kinases with chemoradiation or radiation alone in HNSCC pts. Among the 24 treated pts, 2 have completed the 2-year follow up, 1 death occurred that was causally related to cisplatin, and 21 remain in follow up or continue to receive treatment.

582 Background: LBH589 is a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) which induces apoptosis of tumor cells. LBH589 has been shown to cause regression of colon cancer in animal models and phase I trials have shown the agent to be well tolerated, providing rationale for studying this agent in pts with MCRC. Methods: This was a multicenter, open-label phase II study of single agent LBH589 in patients with MCRC who failed at least 2 prior regimens for metastatic disease. Measurable disease, adequate organ function and ECOG performance status of 0-2 were required. Pts received LBH589 30mg po on M/W/F until disease progression. Pts were evaluated for toxicity every 2 weeks and for response every 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Secondary endpoints included response rate, time to progression (TTP), and toxicity. Results: 29 pts were enrolled (16 male, 13 female). The median age was 59 (range 41-76). The median number of prior treatment regimes was 3 (2-11). The median survival was 5.1 months (range 1-24+). There were no objective responses. 3 pts had SD at 8 weeks. The median TTP was 7.7 weeks (range 1-38.). Six pts had grade 4 thrombocytopenia requiring platelet transfusion. Nine pts required dose reductions for toxicity. Conclusions: Single-agent LBH589 was not associated with objective tumor responses in this heavily pre-treated pt population. However, the median survival was comparable to that seen in other trials of single agent targeted therapy in the treatment of refractory MCRC. Thrombocytopenia was significant, and may complicate potential trials of combination therapy.
