TPS9628 Background: Mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) factor is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor activated by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Aberrant activation of MET via gene amplification or gene mutations, as well as MET protein overexpression, has been reported in NSCLC and other cancer types and can promote tumorigenesis. REGN5093 is a human bispecific antibody that binds to two distinct epitopes of MET, blocking HGF binding and inducing internalization and degradation of MET. REGN5093 prevents MET-mediated signaling and inhibits growth of MET-driven tumor cells without inducing MET-driven biological responses (DaSilva et al, CCR, 2019; PMID: 31848185). Methods: This Phase I/II, first-in-human, multicenter study is investigating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of REGN5093 in patients with MET-altered advanced NSCLC who have received all available approved therapies (NCT04077099). Key eligibility criteria include age ≥18 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≤1, and documented presence of either MET exon 14 gene mutation and/or MET gene amplification and/or elevated MET protein expression. Patients are required to provide a biopsy during screening for assessment of MET biomarkers. Key exclusion criteria include prior MET-targeted biologic therapy (expansion cohorts only). Prior therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors are not exclusionary in any part of the study. For each patient, the study comprises a screening period of up to 28 days, followed by 3-week cycles of REGN5093 monotherapy. Study treatment will continue until confirmed disease progression or other protocol-defined reason for discontinuation. The study has two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion. Dose escalation will proceed via 4+3 design until a maximum-tolerated dose is reached or a recommended Phase II dose selected. The primary objective of the dose escalation part is to assess safety (incidence and severity of adverse events and Grade ≥3 laboratory abnormalities), tolerability (incidence of dose-limiting toxicities), and PK of REGN5093. During the expansion phase, patients will be allocated to cohorts according to the type(s) of documented biomarkers of MET-altered disease. Anti-tumor activity based on objective response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, determined by CT or MRI, will be the primary endpoint in the expansion cohorts. The study is currently open for enrollment. Clinical trial information: NCT04077099 .

5583 Background: Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies in the world. however, the effects of systemic chemotherapy are limited. The combination of targeted therapy with immunotherapy is a new research field in the treatment of malignant tumors. Anlotinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor with highly selective inhibition effects on multi-targets, especially on vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, Platelet-derived growth factor receptor and Fibroblast growth factor receptor. Sintilimab is a highly selective, fully humanized, monoclonal antibody, which blocks the interaction between Programmed death 1 and its ligands. This research aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anotinib and sintilimab in patients with recurrent advanced endometrial cancer. Methods: Patients who received at least one platinum-based systemic chemotherapy, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 were considered eligible for enrollment. Sintilimab was administered intravenously (200mg，q3w); anlotinib was taken orally (12mg qd, d1-14, 21 days per cycle). The treatment was continued until disease progression, death or intolerant toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) and the secondary endpoints included duration of response, disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival and safety. Results: From November 2019 to to September 2020, 23 patients with a median age of 56 years (range: 37-70), FIGO stage IA (21.7%), IB (8.7%), II (4.4%), IIIA (13.1%)，IIIC (30.4%), IVB (21.7%) were enrolled. Among these participants, 22 patients were evaluable. The therapeutic evaluation showed the incidence of complete response, partial response, stable disease and progression disease was 13.6%, 63.7%, 13.6% and 9.1% respectively, yielding the ORR of 77.3% (95%CI: 58.3%-96.3%) and the DCR of 91.7% (95%CI: 79.8%-100%). ≥1 and ＜1 Combined Positive Score of PD-L1 expression were observed in 66.7% (14/21) and 33.3% (7/21) patients respectively, and the ORR was 92.9% (95%CI: 77.4%-100%) and 57.1% (95%CI: 18.4%-90.1%) in the two groups. The median time of the first response was 1.5 months (range, 0.7-12.8). The median PFS was not reached. Most of the occurring adverse events (AEs) were grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 AEs included ileus (4.3%), immune myocarditis (4.3%) immune peritonitis (4.3%), hand-foot syndrome (8.7%), neutropenia (4.3%), neutrophils decrease (4.3%), and hypertension (4.3%); Grade 4 AE was lymphocytosis (4.3%). Neither unexpected safety signals nor treatment-related death occurred. Conclusions: Anlotinib plus sintilimab showed a promising antitumor activity with a favorable toxicity profile for patients with recurrent advanced endometrial cancer. We will report more data in the future. Clinical trial information: NCT04157491.

BackgroundNo treatment demonstrated to improve survival in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGB) in a randomized trial. Combining axitinib with the programmed cell death ligand 1 blocking monoclonal antibody avelumab may result in synergistic activity against rGB.MethodsAdult patients with rGB following prior surgery, radiation therapy and temozolomide chemotherapy were stratified according to their baseline use of corticosteroids. Patients with a daily dose of ≤8 mg of methylprednisolone (or equivalent) initiated treatment with axitinib (5 mg oral two times per day) plus avelumab (10 mg/kg intravenous every 2 weeks) (Cohort-1). Patients with a higher baseline corticosteroid dose initiated axitinib monotherapy; avelumab was added after 6 weeks of therapy if the corticosteroid dose could be tapered to ≤8 mg of methylprednisolone (Cohort-2). Progression-free survival at 6 months (6-m-PFS%), per immunotherapy response assessment for neuro-oncology criteria, served as the primary endpoint.ResultsBetween June 2017 and August 2018, 54 patients (27 per cohort) were enrolled and initiated study treatment (median age: 55 years; 63% male; 91% Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0–1). Seventeen (63%) patients treated in Cohort-2 received at least one dose of avelumab. The 6-m-PFS% was 22.2% (95% CI 6.5% to 37.9%) and 18.5% (95% CI 3.8% to 33.2%) in Cohort-1 and Cohort-2, respectively; median overall survival was 26.6 weeks (95% CI 20.8 to 32.4) in Cohort-1 and 18.0 weeks (95% CI 12.5 to 23.5) in Cohort-2. The best objective response rate was 33.3% and 22.2% in Cohort-1 and Cohort-2, respectively, with a median duration of response of 17.9 and 19.0 weeks. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were dysphonia (67%), lymphopenia (50%), arterial hypertension and diarrhea (both 48%). There were no grade 5 adverse events.ConclusionThe combination of avelumab plus axitinib has an acceptable toxicity profile but did not meet the prespecified threshold for activity justifying further investigation of this treatment in an unselected population of patients with rGB.

Data Set

Purpose All patients in phase I trials do not have equivalent susceptibility to serious drug-related toxicity (SDRT). Our goal was to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of cycle-one SDRT to better select appropriate patients for phase I trials. Patients and Methods The prospectively maintained database of patients with solid tumor enrolled onto Cancer Therapeutics Evaluation Program–sponsored phase I trials activated between 2000 and 2010 was used. SDRT was defined as a grade ≥ 4 hematologic or grade ≥ 3 nonhematologic toxicity attributed, at least possibly, to study drug(s). Logistic regression was used to test the association of candidate factors to cycle-one SDRT. A final model, or nomogram, was chosen based on both clinical and statistical significance and validated internally using a bootstrapping technique and externally in an independent data set. Results Data from 3,104 patients enrolled onto 127 trials were analyzed to build the nomogram. In a model with multiple covariates, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, WBC count, creatinine clearance, albumin, AST, number of study drugs, biologic study drug (yes v no), and dose (relative to maximum administered) were significant predictors of cycle-one SDRT. All significant factors except dose were included in the final nomogram. The model was validated both internally (bootstrap-adjusted concordance index, 0.60) and externally (concordance index, 0.64). Conclusion This nomogram can be used to accurately predict a patient's risk for SDRT at the time of enrollment. Excluding patients at high risk for SDRT should improve the safety and efficiency of phase I trials.

LBA348 Background: In the phase III AXIS trial, second-line therapy with axitinib resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) versus sorafenib for mRCC. We conducted a multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III trial to compare PFS of axitinib vs sorafenib as first-line therapy. Methods: Patients with untreated, measurable (RECIST v1.0), clear‑cell mRCC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (PS) 0 or 1 were randomized 2:1 to axitinib 5 mg twice daily (BID) or sorafenib 400 mg BID. Randomization was stratified by PS. Primary endpoint was PFS per independent radiology committee. The study had 90% power to detect a 78% PFS improvement from 5.5 mo with sorafenib to 9.8 mo with axitinib, corresponding to a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.561 (overall 1-sided α=0.025). Results: Patients (N=288) were mainly from Eastern Europe (51%), Asia (25%), North America (14%), or South America (10%).Patient baseline characteristics for axitinib (n=192) vs sorafenib (n=96) included: median age, 58y vs 58y; male, 70% vs 77%; white, 71% vs 69%; favorable risk, 49% vs 55%; PS 0, 57% vs 57%; nephrectomy, 85% vs 90%. Median (m) PFS was 10.1 vs 6.5 mo with axitinib vs sorafenib (HR adjusted for PS, 0.767; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.559–1.053; 1‑sided P=0.0377). In patients with PS 0 and 1, respectively, mPFS with axitinib vs sorafenib was 13.7 vs 6.6 mo (HR, 0.644; 95% CI, 0.419–0.991; 1‑sided P=0.022) and 6.5 vs 6.4 mo (HR, 0.931; 95% CI, 0.585–1.482; 1‑sided P=0.38). Objective response rates (ORRs) with axitinib vs sorafenib were 32.3% vs 14.6% (1‑sided P=0.0006 adjusted for PS). Overall survival data were not mature. All-grade all‑causality adverse events (≥20%) with axitinib vs sorafenib were diarrhea (50% vs 40%), hypertension (49% vs 29%), weight decreased (37% vs 24%), fatigue (33% vs 26%), decreased appetite (29% vs 19%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (26% vs 39%), dysphonia (23% vs 10%), asthenia (21% vs 16%), and hypothyroidism (21% vs 7%). Conclusions: The study did not achieve its primary endpoint statistically, but axitinib demonstrated numerically longer mPFS and significantly higher ORR vs sorafenib, with an acceptable safety profile, as first-line therapy for mRCC. Clinical trial information: NCT00920816.

6012 Background: EAGLE is a phase 3 study evaluating efficacy of D (anti-PD-L1 mAb) monotherapy and D+T (anti-CTLA-4 mAb) vs standard of care (SOC) in pts with R/M HNSCC who progressed following platinum-based therapy (NCT02369874). Methods: Pts were randomized 1:1:1 to D 10 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks (Q2W), D+T (D 20 mg/kg IV Q4W + T 1 mg/kg IV Q4W for 4 doses, then D 10 mg/kg IV Q2W), or SOC (investigator’s choice: cetuximab, taxane, methotrexate, or fluoropyrimidine-based regimen). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with dual primary objectives of D+T vs SOC and D vs SOC. Additional endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and adverse events (AEs). Results: 240 pts were randomized to D, 247 to D+T and 249 to SOC. An imbalance for Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) was seen in favor of the SOC arm (D, PS 0 = 26%, PS 1 = 74%; D+T, PS 0 = 26%, PS 1 = 74%; SOC, PS 0 = 32%, PS 1 = 68%). The risk of death was not statistically significantly different for D compared with SOC (HR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.72–1.08; P = 0.20) or D+T vs SOC (HR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.85–1.26; P = 0.76). Efficacy data are provided in the table. Treatment-related AEs Grade ≥3 were reported in 10.1% of pts (regardless of causality Grade ≥3 AEs were 41.4%) in the D arm, 16.3% (51.2%) for D+T, and 24.2% (44.2%) for SOC. Following treatment, 2% of pts in D, 5% in D+T and 15% in SOC received immunotherapy. Conclusions: D and D+T did not demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in OS compared to standard chemotherapy in pts with R/M HNSCC. Median OS and ORR of D arm were similar to other studies with checkpoint inhibitors. The SOC arm outperformed what has been seen for SOC arms in previous studies; subsequent immunotherapy may have confounded the OS analyses. The safety profile for D and D + T in R/M HNSCC is consistent with previous trials. Clinical trial information: NCT02369874. [Table: see text]

6081 Background: In SELECT, lenvatinib significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) of pts with RR-DTC versus placebo (18.3 v 3.6 months; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.21 [99% CI: 0.14, 0.31]; P<0.001). Here we examine the treatment of RR-DTC with lenvatinib in relation to tumor size (sum of all targeted lesions) and ECOG PS. Methods: In this post hoc analysis of SELECT with pts randomized to receive lenvatinib, Kaplan-Meier estimates of time to ECOG PS ≥2 were calculated for subgroups of pts according to baseline ECOG PS or tumor size. Objective response rate (ORR) and Kaplan-Meier estimates of overall survival (OS) and PFS according to ECOG PS (0 or 1) at baseline were calculated. Correlations between ECOG PS at baseline (0 or 1) and maximum tumor shrinkage were calculated using one-way analysis of variance. Results: Pts with ECOG PS 0 or 1 at baseline had similar demographic and disease characteristics. ORR was 78.5% and 51.0% for pts with ECOG PS 0 and 1 at baseline, respectively (odds ratio [95% CI]: 3.508 [2.018, 6.097]). Mean maximum percent decrease in tumor size was significantly greater in pts with baseline ECOG PS 0 (-46.13%) versus pts with ECOG PS 1 (-37.16%; P=0.0017). For pts with ECOG PS 1 at baseline, time to ECOG PS ≥2 was numerically shorter with tumor size >60 mm versus tumor size ≤60 mm (HR [95% CI]: 1.450 [0.708, 2.967]). Additional results are summarized in the table. Conclusions: Among pts with RR-DTC, PFS, OS, ORR, and time to ECOG ≥2 were generally better for patients with lower ECOG PS or smaller tumor size at baseline. These results may indicate that it is beneficial to start lenvatinib in pts with RR-DTC early, before ECOG PS worsens and tumor size increases. Clinical trial information: NCT01321554.

Purpose To determine the objective response rate, duration of remission and toxicity of octreotide alone or with the later addition of prednisone in patients with unresectable, advanced thymic malignancies in whom the pretreatment octreotide scan was positive. Patients and Methods Forty-two patients with advanced thymoma or thymic carcinoma were entered onto the trial, of whom 38 were fully assessable (one patient had inconclusive histology; three patients had negative octreotide scan). Patients received octreotide 0.5 mg subcutaneously tid. At 2 months, patients were evaluated. Responding patients continued to receive octreotide alone; patients with progressive disease were removed from the study. All others received prednisone 0.6 mg/kg orally qid for a maximum of 1 year. Results Two complete (5.3%) and 10 partial responses (25%) were observed (four partial responses with octreotide alone; the remainder with octreotide plus prednisone). None of the six patients without pure thymoma responded. The 1- and 2-year survival rates were 86.6% and 75.7%, respectively. Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 lived significantly longer than did those with a performance status of 1 (P = .031). Conclusion Octreotide alone has modest activity in patients with octreotide scan–positive thymoma. Prednisone improves the overall response rate but is associated with increased toxicity. Additional studies with the agent are warranted.

Bispecific T Cell Engager

TPS2071 Background: GBM is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and is extremely difficult to treat. Patients with GBM tend to progress rapidly within weeks or months. Median overall survival is only 12–15 months despite aggressive treatment, and less than 5% of patients survive 5 years. GBM also severely impacts quality of life and cognitive function. Approximately 50% of GBM tumors test positive for amplification or mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the most common of which is the EGFRvIII gain-of-function mutation. AMG 596 is a bispecific T cell engager (BiTE®) antibody construct designed to crosslink and engage CD3-positive T cells to EGFRvIII-positive tumor cells, inducing tumor cell lysis and T cell proliferation. A clinical trial is being conducted for this novel immunotherapy agent in patients with EGFRvIII-positive GBM. Methods: NCT03296696 is a phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, sequential dose-escalation and dose-expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of AMG 596 in patients with EGFRvIII-positive GBM. AMG 596 is administered via continuous intravenous infusion. The study is expected to enroll approximately 82 patients total and comprises two groups (Group 1: patients with recurrent GBM; Group 2: patients with newly diagnosed GBM in the maintenance treatment phase after standard of care). Key inclusion criteria include: male or female; ≥ 18 years of age; with pathologically documented and diagnosed grade IV GBM; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1; life expectancy ≥ 3 months per study investigator; and acceptable renal, hematological, and hepatic function. The primary endpoint evaluates the safety and tolerability of AMG 596 via collection of treatment-emergent adverse events. Additional endpoints include objective response rate per modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria and PK/PD analyses of AMG 596 in serum. The study began enrolling patients in April 2018 and enrollment is ongoing. For more information, please contact Amgen Medical Information: [email protected]. Clinical trial information: NCT03296696.

9523 Background: The phase 3 IMspire150 study showed that first-line A+V+C improved investigator-assessed PFS vs placebo (P)+V+C in BRAFV600E/K mutation–positive advanced melanoma (hazard ratio 0.78; P=.0249). Prior biomarker analyses showed that IFN-g or TMB > 10 mut/Mb were associated with greater PFS benefits with A+V+C (Lewis et al. J ImmunoTher Cancer 2020;8:A188-A189). We further evaluated the association of these biomarkers with outcomes. Methods: Exploratory recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was used to model associations between PFS and age ( < 65 vs ≥65 y), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (0 vs 1), liver metastases (yes vs no), metastatic sites (≤3 vs > 3), sum of longest tumor diameters ( < 44 mm vs ≥44 mm), baseline LDH (normal [n] vs elevated [e]), TMB ( < 10 vs ≥10 mut/Mb), PD-L1 (negative vs positive), and IFN-g (high [h; > Quartile 3; Q3] vs intermediate [ > Q1 and ≤Q3] vs low [≤Q1]). Time-to-event analyses were summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Results: The RPA analysis included 208/256 (81.3%) patients (pts) from the A+V+C arm of IMspire150 for whom LDH, TMB, IFN-g, and PD-L1 data were available. RPA showed that LDH was associated with PFS. In pts treated with A+V+C and n-LDH, h-IFN-g signature was associated with longer PFS and higher rates of objective response (OR) and complete response (CR) vs low/intermediate (l/i) IFN-g (2-y PFS: 59% vs 38%; ORR: 77% vs 69%; CR: 38% vs 15%, respectively); TMB ≥10 mut/Mb was associated with more favorable outcomes in pts with e-LDH (Table). In contrast, neither IFN-g nor TMB discriminated PFS outcomes in n-LDH or e-LDH pt subgroups receiving P+V+C. Pts with e-LDH and TMB < 10 mut/Mb had poor PFS outcomes, with 2-y PFS rates of 9% and 3% and lower rates of OR (51% and 62%) and CR (5% and 9%) in the A+V+C and P+V+C arms, respectively. Similar trends were observed for duration of response (DOR), and for the subset of pts with BRAFV600E mutation–positive melanoma. A+V+C improved PFS vs P+V+C across all subgroups with the exception of e-LDH and TMB < 10. Conclusions: IFN-g and TMB discriminated PFS benefit in pts receiving A+V+C but not for those receiving P+V+C. Durable responses were observed for pts treated with A+V+C in the n-LDH + h-IFNg subgroups.[Table: see text]
