TPS23 Background: COM701 is a novel 1st-in-class monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to poliovirus receptor related immunoglobulin domain containing (PVRIG) blocking its interaction with its ligand, PVRL2. In preclinical experiments inhibition of PVRIG alone and in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor leads to activation of T cells in the tumor microenvironment generating an anti-tumor immune response leading to tumor growth inhibition. Novel checkpoint therapies are needed for the treatment of patients with advanced malignancies. We hypothesized that COM701 monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab will be safe and tolerable and demonstrate preliminary antitumor activity in pts with advanced solid malignancies. Methods: This ongoing phase 1 study (NCT03667716) is evaluating the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of COM701 monotherapy IV Q3 or Q4 weekly and in combination with nivolumab 360 mg IV Q3 weekly or 480 mg IV Q4 weekly. Key Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥18 yrs, histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid malignancy and has exhausted all available standard therapy, ECOG performance status 0-1, prior ICI permissible. Key Exclusion Criteria: Symptomatic interstitial lung disease or inflammatory pneumonitis, untreated or symptomatic central nervous system metastases. Primary outcome measures are the incidence of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities (21-day or 28-day DLT window), pharmacokinetics of COM701 and to identify the maximum tolerated dose and/or the recommended dose for expansion. Key secondary outcome measures are to characterize the immunogenicity and preliminary antitumor activity of COM701 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab. Study Design: Hybrid accelerated titration and 3+3 study design. Statistical Considerations: Adverse events graded as per CTCAE v4.03, responses as per RECIST v1.1. Analyses of all study objectives are descriptive and hypothesis generating. As of the date of this submission dose level 8 of COM701 monotherapy and dose level 3 of the combination arm are open to enrollment. Updated data will be presented at the conference. Clinical trial information: NCT03667716.

TPS40 Background: Novel checkpoint therapies are needed for the treatment of patients who relapse/refractory to treatment with checkpoint inhibitors. COM701 is a novel first-in-class humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to poliovirus receptor related immunoglobulin domain containing (PVRIG) blocking its interaction with it's ligand, PVRL2. We have demonstrated in preclinical experiments that inhibition of PVRIG leads to activation of T cells in the tumor microenvironment generating an anti-tumor immune response leading to tumor growth inhibition. We hypothesize that COM701 will be safe and tolerable and demonstrate antitumor activity in pts with R/R solid tumors. Methods: NCT03667716 is an ongoing open-label first-in-human phase 1 study in pts with R/R solid tumors. The initial part of this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of COM701 monotherapy IV Q3 weekly. Key Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥18 yrs, histologically or cytologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancy and has exhausted all the available standard therapy or is not a candidate for the available standard therapy, ECOG performance status 0-1, prior anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137. Key Exclusion Criteria: Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy in the last 2 years prior to the first dose of COM701, symptomatic interstitial lung disease or inflammatory pneumonitis, untreated or symptomatic central nervous system metastases. Primary outcome measures are the incidence of adverse events 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 outcome measures are to characterize the immunogenicity and preliminary antitumor activity of COM701. Study Design: Accelerated titration design consisting of single subject cohorts has been implemented for the initial cohorts. Statistical Considerations: Adverse events graded as per CTCAE v4.03, responses as per RECIST v1.1. The analyses of all study objectives will be descriptive and hypothesis generating. As of the date of this submission a third single subject dose cohort has been filled.

TPS8058 Background: CWP291, a novel peptidomimetic small molecule, has potent, selective inhibitory activity on a Wnt gene reporter, decreasing expression of β-catenin target genes, cyclin D1 and survivin. With broad anti-cancer efficacy in vitro, it significantly outperforms lenalidomide as a single agent combination in MM bone marrow engraftment models. Methods: This Phase 1a/1b study (NCT #02426723) was designed to define a well-tolerated dose of CWP291 as a single agent in subjects with R/R MM. CWP291 was administered IV over ≥30 minutes 2x weekly for 3 weeks out of a 4-week cycle, with standard 3+3 dose escalation design. But an important objective in terms of patient benefit and further clinical development was to explore activity of a combination regimen with lenalidomide. Thus, a novel study design allowed initiation of the Phase 1b as soon as CWP291 achieved a well-tolerated dose as a single agent. Combination therapy would start at one dose level lower. Enrollment of patients onto each arm was guided by Safety Review Committee assessments, including baseline laboratory values, performance status, extent of prior therapy, or prior adverse events related to lenalidomide. Results: Initiated September 2015, the starting dose was based on a prior Phase 1 study in AML, 198 mg/m2. There were 4 sites involved, and 11 patients enrolled over 12 months. Approval of the new design by regulatory authorities and IRBs was completed by November 2016. A well-tolerated single agent dose (297 mg/m2) was identified, allowing initiation of the Phase 1b at a dose of 198 mg/m2(one dose level lower) combined with lenalidomide. Four subjects were enrolled in ~2 months to the Phase 1b. Enrollment to both arms is continuing and the status of this study will be updated at presentation. Conclusions: The ability to consider combination therapy with a novel drug is clearly a motivation for patient participation in clinical trials; especially true in MM, as multiple new therapies are available. This trial design was approved and allowed based on assessment of individual patient safety and potential benefit. Rapid enrollment in the combination therapy arm may significantly foster development of novel agents with this study design. Clinical trial information: NCT #02426723.

PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of administering DX-8951f (exatecan mesylate), a water-soluble, camptothecin analog, as a 30-minute intravenous infusion daily for 5 days every 3 weeks, determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior of DX-8951f, and seek preliminary evidence of anticancer activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced solid malignancies were treated with escalating doses of DX-8951f. After three patients were treated at the first dose level, doses were to be escalated in increments of 100%, using a single patient at each dose level unless moderate toxicity was observed. The MTD, defined as the highest dose level at which the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity did not exceed 20%, was calculated separately for minimally pretreated (MP) and heavily pretreated (HP) patients. The PK and excretory profiles of DX-8951, the anhydrous form of DX-8951f, were also characterized. RESULTS: Thirty-six patients were treated with 130 courses of DX-8951f at six dose levels ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 mg/m2/d. Brief, noncumulative neutropenia was the most common toxicity observed. Severe myelosuppression (neutropenia that was protracted and/or associated with fever and/or severe thrombocytopenia) was consistently experienced by HP and MP patients at doses exceeding 0.3 and 0.5 mg/m2/d, respectively. Nonhematologic toxicities (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) were also observed, but these effects were rarely severe. Objective antitumor activity included partial responses in one patient each with platinum-resistant extrapulmonary small-cell and fluoropyrimidine- and irinotecan-resistant colorectal carcinoma, and minor responses in patients with prostate, hepatocellular, thymic, primary peritoneal, and irinotecan-resistant colorectal carcinomas. The PKs of total DX-8951 were linear and well fit by a three-compartment model. CONCLUSION: The recommended doses for phase II studies of DX-8951f as a 30-minute infusion daily for 5 days every 3 weeks are 0.5 and 0.3 mg/m2/d for MP and HP patients, respectively. The characteristics of the myelosuppressive effects of DX-8951f, paucity of severe nonhematologic toxicities, and antitumor activity against a wide range of malignancies warrant broad disease-directed evaluations of DX-8951f on this schedule.

Abstract Background The outcome of multiple myeloma (MM) patients who are no longer responding to thalidomide, lenalidomide (LEN) and bortezomib (BORT) is very poor, with a median event-free survival of 5 months and median overall survival (OS) of 9 months (Kumar SK et al, Leukemia 2012; 26;149-157). We have previously shown in a small retrospective study that the combination of continuous low dose oral cyclophosphamide (endoxan) and prednisone combined with lenalidomide (REP) had remarkable activity in heavily pretreated LEN-refractory multiple myeloma patients (median 6 lines of previous chemotherapy) (vd Donk et al; Br J Haematol 2010;148(2):335-7). To determine the optimal dose of lenalidomide with continuous cyclophosphamide and prednisone, we initiated a prospective study to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the REP regimen and to assess its efficacy and safety in LEN-refractory MM patients. Here we report safety and efficacy data from the phase 1 dose-escalation part of the REPEAT-study (NCT01352338). Patients and Methods Patients aged ≥ 18 years with LEN-refractory MM, ECOG-performance status 0-3 and adequate kidney, liver and hematologic function were included. Five dose levels were evaluated using a standard 3+3 design, based on dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurring in cycle 1. Patients received LEN in doses ranging from 10-25 mg/day on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle, while oral cyclophosphamide (50 or 100 mg) and prednisone (20 mg) were given continuously. Therapy was continued until progression. The MTD for the phase 2 part is defined as the highest dose level with 0 or 1 DLT's observed in 6 patients. Results Up till now, 35 patients were enrolled (22 in phase 1 and 13 in phase 2) from August 2011 to June 2013. The phase 2 part is still recruiting and data are not evaluable yet. One patient in phase 1 was excluded because of study violation and is not included in the analysis. The median age of the 21 evaluable patients in phase 1 was 69 years (range 41-73); 76% were male. The median duration of the disease from diagnosis was 41 months (range 18-96), median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 2-6), and 12 patients (57%) had previously received autologous SCT. All patients were LEN-refractory, 19 (90%) had prior BORT treatment, and 16 (76%) had BORT-refractory MM. Fifty-five % of the patients were considered high risk by FISH. At the time of analysis, 16 of 21 patients in phase 1 have discontinued treatment because of disease progression (13), alternative treatment (allo-SCT) (1), or adverse events (2). The MTD was defined as LEN 25 mg days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle, combined with oral cyclophosphamide 50 mg and prednisone 20 mg continuously (dose level 4), based on three patients experiencing a DLT: two developed pneumonia (in dose levels 4 and 5; CTC grade 3), and one patient at dose level 5 experienced CTC grade 3 dyspnea. Neutropenia (18%) and thrombocytopenia (18%) were the most common grade 3 hematological adverse events (AEs), which were managed with growth factor support and/or dose modification. There were no grade 4 hematologic AEs. Grade 3 respiratory tract infections (29%) and grade 2 fatigue (19%) were the most common non-hematological AEs. Venous thromboembolism occurred in 1 patient. Figure 1 shows a waterfall plot of the responses of the patients that participated in the phase 1 part of the study. Overall response rate (≥ PR) was 67% with 6 out of 21 (29%) patients achieving at least VGPR. In addition 2 patients achieved MR (≥ MR: 76%). Median PFS and OS were 6.3 and 15.5 months respectively. Similar results were achieved in the subset of patients with LEN- and BORT-refractory disease. Interestingly, laboratory experiments with purified myeloma cells from these patients suggest synergism between LEN and cyclophosphamide. Conclusions The REP regimen induces high response rates and prolonged PFS and OS in LEN-refractory patients with acceptable toxicity. The MTD is defined as LEN 25 mg days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle, combined with oral cyclophosphamide 50 mg and prednisone 20 mg continuously. Phase 2 is enrolling patients and evaluates efficacy and safety of the REP regimen at the MTD. REP should be considered a valuable salvage option for LEN-refractory MM patients. We will present an updated follow-up at ASH.

13134 Background: Perifosine is a novel alkylphospholipid that has been shown to affect multiple signal transduction pathways including Akt, MAPK and JNK (Kondapaka, Mol. Canc. Ther 2: 1093–1103. 2003). Treatment with a taxane initially activates Akt, and persistent activation increases resistance to the drug (Vanderweele, Mol. Canc. Ther. 3: 1605–13, 2004). Methods: Twelve patients (pts) were enrolled on this study. T was given at a dose of 175 mg/m2 on day 8 (after 7 days of perifosine) of a 21 day cycle; this was to obtain a steady state level of P at the tumor before exposure to T. The intent of the protocol was to determine if full dose P could be delivered with 50 mg of perifosine given orally 1, 2 or 3 times a day on days 1–14 of each cycle. Results: Disease sites included lung 3, thyroid 3, breast 1, esophagus 1 and other 4, Median age was 66 (range 45 - 83); 6 pts were male and median ECOG performance status was 1 (range 0–2). All pts had received prior chemotherapy (median 2 regimens); 3 had prior treatment with a taxane. Three pts were entered at each dose level and the cohort expanded to 6 pts if 2 or more pts experienced a grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicity (DLT) during cycle 1. A dose level was toxic if 4 or more pts experienced a DLT during cycle 1. A total of 30 cycles and a median of 2 cycles (range 1–11) per patient were delivered. There were no grade 3/4 hematologic toxicities. Full dose T was given in all treatment cycles. P dose reductions were required in 6% of cycles (50 mg - 7%, 100 mg - 0%, 150 mg - 7%). One patient missed one dose due to nausea and one pt was stopped due to diarrhea. The grade 3 toxicities for each cohort are given in the table below. The elevated glucose value was 321. Nine pts were evaluable for response; two pts with thyroid cancer had stable disease by the RECIST criteria for 9 and 10+ months. Conclusions: In this study the usual single agent doses of P (150 mg daily) & T (175 mg/m2 q 3 weeks) were given together without increasing the toxicities that would be expected from using each drug alone. Phase II studies are warranted to define activity of the combination. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

5097 Background: Sunitinib malate is an oral, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGF- and PDGF- receptors with substantial antitumor activity against mRCC (JAMA 2006;295:2516). This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sunitinib in combination with gefitinib, an EGF-receptor inhibitor. Methods: Eligibility included mRCC with clear cell component. The phase 1 part of the study was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sunitinib in combination with gefitinib, and subsequently pts were enrolled in the phase 2 part to further evaluate safety and antitumor activity. Pts were treated with sunitinib at assigned dose level (37.5 mg or 50 mg) orally daily for 4 weeks on, followed by 2 weeks off (Schedule 4/2) and gefitinib at 250 mg daily. The primary endpoint for the phase 2 part of the study was objective response according to RECIST. Results: Forty-two pts were enrolled; 11 pts in phase 1 and 31 pts in phase 2. Median age was 65 years (range: 29–78) and 35 pts (83%) had =2 metastatic sites. Twenty-eight pts (67%) had prior cytokine therapy, 11 pts (26%) had no prior cytokine therapy, and 3 pts (7%) received prior vaccine therapy. Two dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed at the 50-mg dose level (grade 3 fatigue and grade 2 ejection fraction decline), and 37.5 mg on Schedule 4/2 in combination with gefitinib 250 mg daily was determined to be the MTD. The median duration on treatment was 8.3 months for phase 1. Thirty-six pts are evaluable for response and 6 are too early. Eleven pts (30%) achieved a partial response and 15 pts (42%) stable disease. The most common grade 3 treatment-related adverse events observed in phase 1 were diarrhea and nausea (n=2) and for phase 2 were diarrhea (10%) and gastrointestinal hemorrhage (6%). Two pts from phase 2 were withdrawn from the study due to treatment-related adverse event; ejection fraction decline and cardiac arrhythmia, both of which were reversible after treatment discontinuation. Conclusions: The study established dose and feasibility for sunitinib in combination with gefitinib. Early evaluation of the data suggests tolerability for the combination and relative efficacy data compared to sunitinib monotherapy will be assessed with longer patient follow-up. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

3055 Background: rIL-21 is a pleiotropic class I cytokine that activates CD8+ T cells and NK cells. The safety and pharmacologic profile of rIL-21 was characterized in two phase 1 dose escalation studies including patients with MM, performed in Australia and the US, respectively. Two dosing schedules were tested: “5+9” (5 days of dosing followed by 9 days of rest) and “3/wk” (dosing 3 times per week for 6 weeks). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined to be 30 μg/kg for both dosing regimens and two complete remissions (at the 30 μg/kg dose level) were observed in the MM patients. A phase 2a study was initiated to estimate the preliminary efficacy of rIL-21 in patients with advanced MM. Methods: The phase 2a study design is an open-label, two-stage trial. Primary objective: antitumor efficacy as determined by response rate. Secondary objectives: safety, effects on blood biomarkers, and measurement of anti-rIL-21 antibodies. Eligible patients had unresectable MM with measurable disease, no prior systemic therapy (adjuvant interferon was permitted), adequate major organ function, good performance status, no brain metastases, and no evidence of significant autoimmune disease. rIL-21 was administered by i.v. bolus injection using the “5+9” regimen for 6 weeks (= three cycles) at 30 μg/kg dose level. Results: At the time of writing (January 2007), all 14 patients have entered the first stage of the phase 2a study and currently seven patients are evaluable for response after completion of 3 treatment cycles (6 weeks). One patient had a complete remission, five patients had stable disease, and one patient had progressive disease. So far, six patients have gone on to receive further treatment with rIL-21. Similar to the phase 1 experience, treatment with rIL-21demonstrated an acceptable safety profile. Updated interim study results, including response data, will be presented. Conclusions: rIL-21 administered at 30 μg/kg/day using the “5+9” regimen is well tolerated by patients with MM. Preliminary evidence of clinical response has been observed and the second stage of the two-stage phase 2a study has opened for accrual. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Dexmedetomidine(DEX) has proven to be an effective adjuvant to anesthetics owing to its sympatholytic, analgesic, and sedative properties. This study was designed to investigate the postoperative effects of continuous DEX infusion during gynecological laparoscopy and to evaluate the safety of this treatment. Methods: Sixty patients undergoing selective gynecological laparoscopy with general anesthesia were randomly assigned into DEX group (group D )and normal saline group (group N). DEX was infused at 0.5ug/kg/h during anesthesia maintenance in group D while normal saline was infused at the same rate in group N. The primary outcome measures were heart rate and blood pressure at extubation, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after operation, NRS scores at 1, 2, 3 ,4, ,8,12,24 hours after surgery and OAA/S scores after extubation. The secondary outcome measures were time to extubation, propofol and remifentanil dosage during anesthesia, postoperative adverse events, and postoperative hospital stay.Results: Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were lower in group D at extubation when compared with group N (P<0.05), but not different at the first postoperative hour or after. HR was lower both at extubation and the first postoperative hour in group D (P<0.05). NRS scores were lower in patients given DEX both at rest and movement at the first postoperative hour (P<0.05). Time to extubation and OAA/S scores after extubation were not different between groups. Postoperative respiratory depression, shivering and pruritus didn’t occur in this research. There were no significant differences in the incidence rate of postoperative adverse events or postoperative hospital stay between the groups.Conclusions: Continuous infusion of DEX during gynecological laparoscopy provided better hemodynamic stability at extubation and the effects on HR continued until 1 hour after operation. DEX administration was associated with lower NRS scores at the first postoperative hour without excessive sedation. DEX is a useful and safe adjuvant for general anesthesia during gynecological laparoscopy.

Abstract C-kit is expressed on more than 10% of blasts in 95% of patients with relapsed AML. Imatinib mesylate (IM) inhibits c-kit and is active in relapsed/ refractory AML. We conducted a Phase 1 trial of IM combined with daunorubicin (D) and cytarabine (A) in patients with c-kit+ relapsed AML. Methods: All patients were treated at the Cleveland Clinic from 2003–2007. Cytogenetic (CG) risk was defined by CALGB criteria. Eligibility criteria included: relapsed AML (excluding APL), relapse more than 6 mo from induction therapy, ECOG performance status 0–2, ≥20% c-kit+ blasts (CD117+ by flow cytometry), age ≥18 yrs, not pregnant or lactating, creatinine ≤2 mg/dL, AST and ALT ≤2 x upper limits of normal, bilirubin ≤2 mg/dL. The concurrent use of antimicrobials which significantly interact with IM was prohibited. All patients received D 45 mg/m2 IV for 3 days, and A 100 mg/m2/d continuous infusion for 7 days (7+3). IM dose was escalated using a standard 3 x 3 design. Dose levels were: −1 (300 mg), 1 (400 mg), 2 (600 mg), 3 (800 mg). IM was administered with the first dose of chemotherapy and continued daily until disease progression, intolerance, removal from study for another treatment (including alloBMT), or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Initially, patients with persistent leukemia on Day 14 bone marrow were removed from protocol. A later amendment allowed patients with persistent leukemia, but ≥50% reduction in bone marrow blasts to remain on protocol. These patients continued IM and received 5 days of A (100 mg/m2/d) and 2 days of D (45 mg/m2/d). Results: Seventeen patients have been enrolled: median age was 47 yrs (range 30–71) and nine (53%) were male. The average time from CR to relapse was 19.2 mos (range, 7.4–36.2 mos). CG were poor risk in 29%, intermediate risk in 59%, and good risk in 12%. The median percentage of c-kit positive blasts was 86% (range, 52–98%). Nine patients were treated at dose level 1 (400 mg) because 3 patients discontinued IM before DLT could be evaluated (2 due to nausea, 1 due to persistent leukemia on a Day 14 bone marrow). Of the 6 evaluable patients, 2 patients had a DLT. Both of these were ≥Grade 3 hepatotoxicity. One patient had a bilirubin of 6.0 mg/dL (normal range 0–1.5). Therefore, subsequent patients were treated at dose level −1. Eight patients have been treated at dose level -1. Of these, 6 are evaluable for DLT. Only 1 DLT (bilirubin 5.5 mg/dL) was seen, making 300 mg/d the MTD. Fifteen out of 17 patients are evaluable for response, and 9 of these 15 have achieved CR (53%) or CRp (7%). Patients received IM for a median of 35.9 days (range 9–101 days). Three patients discontinued IM when they proceeded to alloBMT. One patient continues on IM and remains in remission on Day 180 of therapy. Enrollment to the expanded cohort at the MTD is ongoing to better evaluate response. Conclusions: The MTD of IM in combination with 7+3 was 300 mg. Since the hepatotoxicity appeared to be reversible with discontinuation of IM, it may be possible to escalate IM doses further and re-challenge. The reason for the elevated bilirubin is unclear but may be due to pharmacokinetic interactions, chemotherapy, and/or the presence of active leukemia. Further pharmacokinetic studies are being performed for further evaluation. Given the preliminary encouraging activity of this Phase 1 combination, a Phase 2 study is planned.

TPS3149 Background: Dependence of cancer cells on glutamine has made glutaminolysis an attractive therapeutic target in cancer. Prior clinical trials evaluating glutamine analogues for the treatment of cancer were abandoned due to lack of efficacy and/or tolerability. DON (6-Diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine) is an irreversible inhibitor of several enzymes that utilize glutamine as a metabolic substrate. In addition to direct anti-tumor efficacy, inhibition of glutamine metabolism in the tumor microenvironment has been shown to improve T-cell activation and tumor infiltration, increasing anti-tumor immune responses. As such, combining DON with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), has strong preclinical rationale. The investigational product DRP-104 (sirpiglenastat) is an inactive prodrug of DON designed to limit systemic DON exposure while targeting glutamine dependence in tumor cells. Methods: A phase 1/2a, FIH, multi-center, non-randomized, multi-cohort, open-label study of DRP-104 is currently open to accrual for patients with advanced solid tumors. This study will be conducted in 4 parts: A) Dose Escalation of IV and subQ DRP-104 (Run-In phase followed by modified Continual Reassessment Method) to define MTD/RP2D. Primary objective of dose escalation is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of DRP-104 as a single agent; B) Dose Expansion of IV and subQ DRP-104 for safety assessment while primary objective is to select and recommend phase 2 DRP-104 route of administration; C) Phase 2a at recommended MTD/RP2D of selected route of DRP-104 in 2 patient cohorts: patients with locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC with KEAP1, NFE2L2 and/or STK11 mutation and patients with unresectable or metastatic SCCHN, in order to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of DRP-104 as a single agent; D) Phase 2a at recommended MTD/RP2D of selected route of DRP-104 in combination with atezolizumab in adult patients with advanced solid tumors previously treated with an ICI, in order to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of DRP-104 in combination with atezolizumab; DRP-104 IV is infused TIW over 1 hour infusion for 2 consecutive weeks followed by 1 week off. DRP-104 subQ is administered BIW weekly. Study is currently open with 6 IV patients (Run-In Phase completed and at Dose Level 4) and 3 subQ patients at Dose Level 1 at time of submission. Clinical trial information: NCT04471415.
