TPS3160 Background: Immunotherapy with the anti-PD-(L)1 checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) has been largely ineffective in so-called non-immunogenic “cold tumors”. Facilitating T cell infiltration is necessary to invoke an immune response which may be augmented or complemented by the activity of CPIs like durvalumab. Selective T cell Redirection Proteins (STRs) are fusion proteins that consist of genetically engineered Superantigen (Sag) linked to Fragment antigen binding (Fab) moieties directed to tumor-associated antigens. Nap is a first in class STR compound, recognizing the tumor-associated oncofetal antigen 5T4, whereas the SAg moiety selectively engages the T cell receptor β variable (TRBV) 7-9. Nap has been shown to induce specific T cells expansion, activation and infiltration into the tumor in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Pre-clinical data demonstrated that the combination of STR with CPI may lead to long term durable responses not possible in most patients receiving single agent CPI therapy and suggests that combining CPIs with STR may be a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with solid tumors. Methods: Patients will be treated with the combination of Nap and durvalumab using a flat dose of durvalumab (1120 mg) and the 3+3 design for Nap dose escalation (2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mcg/kg). The MTD of Nap for the combination treatment will be established based on DLTs occurring during the first treatment cycle. The dose escalation part will be followed by MTD expansion cohort in which 10–15 patients will be treated with MTD of Nap and 1120 mg durvalumab (Clinical trial registry number NCT03983954). Major eligibility criteria include patients with pretreated advanced or metastatic, 5T4 expressing solid tumors, including patients previously progressed on CPI therapy. As of January 2020, enrollment to dose levels 2, 5 and 10 mcg/kg has been completed without DLT, enrollment to dose level 15 mcg/kg will start on February 2020. Clinical trial information: NCT03983954 .

TPS24 Background: Regulatory T cells (Treg) can dampen anti-tumor immune responses in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The predominant chemokine receptor on human Treg is CCR4, the receptor for the chemokines CCL17 and CCL22, which are produced by tumor cells, tumor-associated macrophages and dendritic cells, as well as by effector T cells (Teff) in the setting of an inflammatory anti-tumor response. Preclinical studies with orally-available CCR4 antagonists have demonstrated potent inhibition of Treg migration into tumors, an increase in the intratumoral Teff/Treg ratio, and anti-tumor efficacy as a single agent and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. In a first-in-human trial conducted in healthy volunteers, the oral CCR4 antagonist FLX475 was demonstrated to be well tolerated with outstanding PK properties. A robust PD assay measuring receptor occupancy on circulating Treg demonstrated the ability to safely achieve exposure levels predicted to maximally inhibit Treg recruitment into tumors via CCR4 signaling. These human PK, PD, and safety data have enabled a streamlined design of a Phase 1/2 study of FLX475 in cancer patients both as monotherapy and in combination with checkpoint inhibitor. Methods: This clinical trial is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalation and cohort expansion study to determine the safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity of FLX475 as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab. The study is being conducted in 2 parts, a dose-escalation phase (Part 1) and a cohort expansion phase (Part 2). In Part 1 (Phase 1) of the study, at least 3 to 6 eligible subjects will be enrolled in sequential cohorts treated with successively higher doses of FLX475 as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 1b). In Part 2 (Phase 2) of the study, expansion cohorts of both checkpoint-naïve and checkpoint-experienced patients with tumor types predicted to be enriched for Treg and/or CCR4 ligand expression (i.e. “charged tumors”) -- including both EBV+ and HPV+ tumors and NSCLC, HNSCC, and TNBC -- will be enrolled using a Simon 2-stage design. As of November 6, 2018, Cohort 1 has been completed without DLT. Clinical trial information: NCT03674567.

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

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

10046 Background: ONC201 is the first DRD2 antagonist for clinical oncology. The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 625mg ONC201 orally once a week has been established in adult patients. ONC201 efficacy has been shown in high-grade glioma preclinical models and radiographic regressions with single agent ONC201 have been reported in adult recurrent H3 K27M-mutant glioma patients. We report results from the first Phase I pediatric clinical trial of ONC201. Methods: This multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion clinical trial (NCT03416530) determined the RP2D of ONC201 in pediatric H3 K27M-mutant glioma patients as a single agent. ONC201 was orally administered once a week and scaled by body weight. Dose escalation was performed by a 3 + 3 design beginning with one 125mg capsule less than the adult RP2D equivalent. Three patients were treated at the starting dose and 19 were treated at the adult RP2D equivalent. Results: The primary endpoint was achieved by establishing the safety of the adult RP2D scaled by body weight to pediatric patients. Twenty-two patients with a median age of 9 (range 3-18) years old who received at least prior radiation have been treated with ONC201: 15 with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) (4 recurrent; 11 not recurrent) and 7 with non-DIPG H3 K27M-mutant glioma (all not recurrent). As of February 5, 2019, patients have received a median of 18 ONC201 doses (range 3-41) without instance of dose-limiting toxicity. Pharmacokinetic profiles were comparable to those observed in adults (Cmax ~2.1ug/mL; AUC ~2.3hr*ug/mL) and exposure was similar across body weights. Nine of 22 patients remain on therapy, 13 have discontinued due to progression, and 4 off-study patients are alive with a median follow up of 5.8 months. Five of the 11 (45%) DIPG patients who initiated ONC201 following radiation, but prior to recurrence, remain on therapy (median 7.4 months; range 4.4-9.6): median PFS is 4.4 months from initiation of ONC201 and 9.7 months from diagnosis; 7 of 11 (64%) patients are alive with median follow up of 11.8 months from diagnosis. Conclusions: ONC201 was well tolerated and achieved therapeutic exposure in pediatric H3 K27M-mutant glioma patients at the adult RP2D scaled by body weight. Further investigation of first-line ONC201 to treat H3 K27M-mutant glioma and/or DIPG is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03416530.

TPS2661 Background: Immune checkpoint molecules, including CTLA-4 and PD-1, attenuate the duration and strength of adaptive immune responses to limit immune-mediated tissue damage. Tumors may inhibit cellular immune activation by expressing ligands that bind checkpoint molecules and inhibit T-cell function in the tumor microenvironment. Blockade of these inhibitory pathways is the primary mechanism of action of several novel cancer immunotherapy agents. Combined blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 with two checkpoint inhibitors, ipilimumab and nivolumab, increases antitumor activity beyond either single agent alone in patients with metastatic melanoma or other malignancies. MGD019, a novel bispecific molecule that co-engages and coordinately inhibits both PD-1 and CTLA-4 signaling, was developed to potentially improve antitumor activity and/or safety relative to the monoclonal antibody combination. MGD019 is an Fc-bearing tetravalent DART molecule (bivalent for each antigen) that can independently block either checkpoint molecule, with preferential co-blockade in cells co-expressing both molecules demonstrated in vitro. It is hypothesized that MGD019 might be clinically active in either checkpoint naïve or checkpoint experienced patients after prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. Methods: This Phase 1 study will characterize safety, dose limiting toxicities, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum administered dose (MAD) of MGD019. Dose Escalation will enroll patients with advanced solid tumors of any histology in sequential escalating doses in cohorts of 3 to 9 patients in a 3+3+3 design. Once the MTD/MAD is reached, a Cohort Expansion phase will characterize safety and initial antitumor activity per RECIST v1.1 and irRECIST in patients with specific tumor types anticipated to be sensitive to dual checkpoint blockade. Additional endpoints include pharmacokinetics; immunogenicity; impact of MGD019 on various measures of immune-regulatory effects in peripheral blood and biopsy specimens; and relationship between antitumor activity and gene profiles, tumor mutational burden, and PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 expression on tumor cells and immune cell infiltrates within biopsy specimens. Patients will be followed for survival approximately every 3 months for 2 years. Clinical trial information: NCT03761017.

TPS2671 Background: RP1 is an attenuated oncolytic HSV-1 that expresses a fusogenic glycoprotein from gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV-GP R-) and GM-CSF. RP1 induces potent GALV-GP R- enhanced immunogenic cell death and host anti-tumor immunity in murine tumor models and increases PD-L1 expression. This clinical trial (NCT03767348) was designed to test the hypotheses that RP1 is safe when given alone and together with nivolumab (phase 1) and has efficacy together with nivolumab in four tumor types (phase 2). Methods: The primary goals of this clinical trial in a total of ~150 patients are to define the safety profile of RP1 alone and together with nivolumab, determine the recommended phase 2 dose (phase 1), and then in four phase 2 cohorts, to determine objective response rate in patients with melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, urothelial carcinoma and MSI-H solid tumors. Secondary objectives include duration of response, CR rate, PFS, viral shedding, and immune biomarker analysis. Patients with advanced cancer who failed prior therapy were eligible for the phase I component. In Phase 2 patients with histologic diagnoses of the four tumor types (N=30 for each) and who meet safety criteria for nivolumab treatment are eligible. Prior treatment with checkpoint blockade is not allowed except for the melanoma cohort. In the phase 1 portion patients are treated by intra-patient dose escalation of virus (range, 104 - 108 PFU) by intratumoral injection every two weeks for 5 total doses followed by 12 patients dosed 8 times at the RP2D in combination with nivolumab. Phase 1 patients were divided into two groups based on presence of clinically accessible lesions amenable to direct injection or those with visceral/deep lesions requiring image guidance for injection. In the phase 2 portion patients will receive the RP2D for eight injections and nivolumab will be given starting with the second RP1 injection. For the phase 1 portion, a modified 3+3 dose escalation design is used to assess safety and in the phase 2 portion, statistical analysis will be performed using a two-stage three-outcome optimum design with objective responses determined by RECIST criteria. As of February 11, 2019, 27 patients have been enrolled. Clinical trial information: NCT03767348.

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