85 Background: Metformin (MET) may play a role as an anti-proliferative and anti-carcinogenic agent. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that MET is associated with decreased prostate cancer (PCa) incidence, including decreased PCa specific mortality in diabetic men with PCa. Preclinical studies have shown synergistic effect of MET with bicalutamide, thus prompting this clinical trial evaluating the combination (NCT02614859). Methods: This was an open label, randomized, phase II trial of pts with biochemically recurrent PCa, PSA doubling time 3-9 months, normal testosterone, and BMI > 25. Pts were randomized (2:1) either to MET 1000 mg twice daily orally or observation for initial 8 weeks. Bicalutamide 50 mg orally daily was added to both arms after 8 weeks. Total duration of treatment was 32 weeks. The primary objective was to determine number of pts with undetectable PSA ( < 0.2 ng/mL) at the end of study with key secondary objectives of evaluating PSA declines of ≥ 85%, PSA responses to MET alone and safety. An early stopping rule for futility was set at 39 pts, but due to slow accrual, an unplanned interim analysis was undertaken. Results: 28 patients were randomized between December 2015 and September 2019. Treatment was well tolerated with no dose reductions or treatment discontinuation. No Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were observed. Conclusions: PSA responses were seen in 50% pts with MET monotherapy after 8 weeks. Although well tolerated, there was no difference in PSA at 32 weeks between the two arms. The trial will be stopped early due to poor accrual and inability to achieve its primary endpoint. Ongoing larger studies of MET in PCa (STAMPEDE) will define it’s utility in prostate cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT02614859. [Table: see text]

10516 Background: PVNS, also known as tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT), is a rare pathological entity affecting the synovium in young adults. This neoplastic disease is driven by a t(1;2) translocation resulting in the fusion of COL6A3 and M-CSF genes. Nilotinib has inhibitory properties on M-CSF receptor pathway which could be of therapeutic interest in patient (pts) with non resectable PVNS. Methods: In this open-label international, multicentric, non-randomized, phase II study the primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of nilotinib treatment (800 mg/day) in pts with progressive or relapsing PVNS not amenable to surgery or in whom surgery would be mutilating, as measured by the 12-week progression-free rate (12-w PFR) validated by an independent committee. Using a Bayesian design with a futility stopping rule and a maximum sample size set to 50 evaluable pts, interim analyses (IA) were planned after the inclusion of 10 and then every 5 pts. Results: From December 2010 to September 2012, 56 pts with progressive disease were enrolled by 17 institutions from Europe and Australia. Successive previous IA led to positive results in favour of the study continuation. 47 pts (median age 37 y (range: 18-74), 51% of males) were evaluable at the time of the last IA, with a median follow-up of 11.2 months (range: 0.6-12.7). Median time since diagnosis was 2.5 years (range: 0.02-26). Primary tumour was mainly located on knee (25 pts, 53%), hip (6 pts, 13%), ankle (6 pts, 13%). 4 pts had already received imatinib, 76% of pts had undergone a previous surgery. The 12-w PFR was 93.6% (95%CI, 82.5%-98.7%), without any OR. PR were observed later (2 at w-24 and 1 at w-48). Nilotinib was well tolerated, with only 4 pts experiencing grade 3 adverse events (anorexia: 1 pt; prurit: 1 pt; diarrhea: 1 pt; hepatic failure: 1 pt). 8 pts (17%) had a dose reduction and/or temporary discontinuation of nilotinib due to toxicity. Final results will be further presented. Conclusions: Nilotinib treatment induces disease stabilisation in a large proportion of PVNS patients with non resectable disease or in whom resection would be mutilating. Clinical trial information: NCT01261429.

3094 Background: The carcinomembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1, CD66a) is a member of the CEA gene family. CEACAM1 interacts homophilically and heterophilically with CEACAM5, and is involved in various anti-proliferative activities. CEACAM1 is expressed on a variety of epithelial and hematological cells, including multiple types of cancer and activated lymphocytes. High CEACAM1 expression in some tumor types is known to be associated with poor disease prognosis. Recently it was demonstrated CEACAM1 is co-expressed on exhausted lymphocytes with other immune checkpoints such as TIM-3 and may regulate downstream activity. CM24 is a novel humanized α-CEACAM1-specific antibody with nM affinity to the N terminal domain of CEACAM1, which blocks intercellular CEACAM1 interactions. Methods: The primary objective was to test the safety and tolerability of CM24 in adult patients with advanced or recurrent cancer. Secondary objectives included assessment of CM24 PK and PD profiles, anti-tumor response and the recommended Phase 2 dose. Patient received IV infusion of CM24 at 7 dose levels ranging between 0.01 and 10 mg/kg in a cycle of 4 doses administered q2wks followed by a 6-week observation only period and additional 6 cycles. Results: 27 patients (median pretreatment of 4 prior regimens; range 2-8, 11 colorectal, 7 melanoma, 4 ovarian, 3 gastric, 2 NSCLC; 13 males, 14 females, mean age of 60 years), were included. Treatment with CM-24 was overall well-tolerated without DLTs up to 10 mg/kg. The most frequent AE was grade 1-3 increased alanine aminotransferase (7 subjects) and the most severe AE was grade 3/4 increase in gamma-glutamyltransferase (4 subjects). Drug-related AEs were observed in 63% of the subjects with grade 3-5 occurred in 3.7%. Eight subjects (29.6%) had stable disease as the best overall response. Median overall survival was 4 (3.4, 8.0) and 6.2 (2.7, 10.2) months for the 3 and 10 mg/kg doses, suggesting dose response. Cmax, AUC and t1/2 increased with increasing dose with the longest t1/2 of 11.2 days obtained at 10mg/kg. The average target occupancy of CM24 at 3mg/kg and 10mg/kg were 75% and 93%, respectively. Conclusions: PK and target-mediated drug disposition analysis suggest that doses higher than 10mg/kg are needed for target saturation at a q2 week regimen while a q3 week regimen is less optimal. A phase 1/2 clinical trial testing CM24 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with NSCLC including assessment of CEACAM1 expression is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02346955 .

438 Background: T-VEC is a genetically modified HSV-1 oncolytic immunotherapy designed to preferentially replicate in tumors, produce GM-CSF, and stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. This study evaluates the safety of intrahepatic injection (inj) of T-VEC in patients (pts) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver metastases (mets). Methods: The primary objective is to assess the maximum tolerated dose. Eligible pts were ≥ 18 years (y) old, had progressive HCC or breast cancer (BC), colorectal cancer (CRC), gastroesophageal cancer, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or renal cell cancer with liver mets, with measurable liver tumors suitable for inj. This dose escalation study comprised 2 groups: A (non-HCC) and B (HCC). T-VEC was given initially at 106 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL followed by up to 4 mL of 107 PFU/mL (cohort 1) or 108 PFU/mL (cohort 2) every 21 (±3) days (Q21D), or up to 8 mL of the maximum tolerated concentration (MTC) Q21D (cohort 3). Inj volume was based on lesion size. Results: Results from cohorts 1 and 2 of group A are reported. 14 pts were treated; 12 (3 BC, 9 CRC) were DLT-evaluable: Median age was 65.5 y (range: 33, 73); median number of inj was 3; 1 pt received all 12 inj. MTC was 108 PFU/mL. There was 1 DLT, grade 3 aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/grade 2 bilirubin increase (inc), after 1 dose. In all treated pts, 4 (28.6%) had grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs): anemia and inc gamma-glutamyltransferase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and AST. There were 2 deaths attributable to disease. Incidence of serious AEs (SAEs) is shown (Table). Conclusions: The MTC was 108 PFU/mL Q21D after initial inj at 106 PFU/mL. Repeated intrahepatic inj of T-VEC at the FDA-approved concentration for intralesional inj of melanoma was deemed tolerable and feasible in pts with liver mets. Additional investigation in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT02509507. [Table: see text]

94 Background: Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) influences prostate cancer growth and metastasis in pre-clinical models. We examined effects of phenelzine (a monoamine oxidase inhibitor) in patients with biochemical recurrent castrate-sensitive prostate cancer. Methods: An open-label single arm clinical trial enrolled subjects with biochemical recurrent prostate cancer defined by: PSA ≥ 0.4 ng/ml (post-prostatectomy) or PSA ≥ 2 ng/ml above nadir (post-radiation therapy); no evidence of metastasis on imaging; and normal androgen levels. Subjects received phenelzine 30 mg orally twice daily. Mood symptoms were assessed with the hospital anxiety depression score (HADS) questionnaire. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved a PSA decline of ≥50% from baseline. Results: Characteristics of the 20 eligible patients enrolled included: mean ± SD age 66.9 ± 4.8 years and PSA 4.7 ± 5.8 ng/dl. Maximal PSA declines ≥ 30% and ≥ 50% were observed in 25% (n=5/20) and 10% (n=2/20) of subjects, respectively. At 12 weeks, 17 subjects remained on treatment with PSA declines ≥ 30% and ≥ 50% of 24% (n=4/17) and 6% (n=1/17), respectively. Common toxicities observed included dizziness (grade 1 = 45%, grade 2= 35%), hypertension (grade ≥ 2 =30%), and edema (grade 1=25%, grade 2=10%). There was 1 episode of grade 4 hypertension (cycle 4) and 2 episodes of grade 3 syncope (cycle 12 and cycle 14) requiring treatment discontinuation. HADS questionnaires demonstrated a significant decrease in anxiety with no change in depressive symptoms on treatment. Conclusions: Phenelzine demonstrated efficacy in patients with biochemical recurrent castrate sensitive prostate cancer. Most treatment related toxicities were mild, but rare significant and reversible cardiovascular toxicities were observed. Therapies directed at MAOA may represent a new avenue for treatment in patients with recurrent prostate cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT02217709.

Using a Bayesian design with a stopping rule for futility, interim analyses were planned after the inclusion of 10 pts and then every 5 pts. Results: From December 2010 to November 2011, 33 pts with progressive disease from 17 institutions from Europe and Australia were enrolled. 14 pts (median age 37 y (range: 19-68), 7 males) were analyzed in the 2nd interim analysis. Median time since diagnosis was 4.4 years (range: 0.2-26). Primary tumour was located on a knee for 10 pts (71%) and on hip (1 pt, 7%), finger (7%), foot (7%), hand (7%), respectively. 69% of pts had a inoperable PVNS and 31% had a resectable tumour but requiring mutilating surgery. All pts started nilotinib at the planned dose of 800 mg/day. At a median follow-up of 8.9 months (range: 0.6-11), 2 pts had a dose reduction and 1 pt had discontinued nilotinib after 14 days due to toxicity. Nilotinib was well tolerated, with only 2 pts experiencing grade 3 adverse events (anorexia: 1 pt; hepatic failure: 1 pt).The 12-w PFR was 85.7% (95%CI, 57.2%-98.2%), in favour of the study continuation. No OR was observed at w-12; 1 pt (7%) was in PR at w-30. Updated results will be presented after the 3rd interim analysis. Conclusions: Nilotinib treatment induces disease stabilisation in a large proportion of PVNS patients with non resectable disease or in whom resection would be mutilating.

e14634 Background: Introducing amino acid sequence changes in highly expressed self-antigens for prostate cancer (PCa) patients (pts) might lead to avoidance of immune tolerance. We evaluated a DNA vaccine (INO-5150) including SynCon PSA and PSMA. Administration of INO-5150 to PCa pts along with plasmid encoded adjuvant IL-12 (INO-9012) via electroporation (EP) is postulated to break tolerance, resulting in antigen-specific immune responses which could lead to stabilization of disease progression. Methods: Phase I, open-label, multicenter study of PCa pts post-definitive therapy with a rising PSA ≥ 1.0 ng/ml after surgery, or ≥ 2.0 ng/ml above nadir after RT and PSADT > 3 months, testosterone > 150 ng/dL, no concomitant androgen deprivation therapy and no evidence of metastases within 12 months. We evaluated safety, tolerability and for efficacy signals. INO-5150 low (2 mg, arms A and C) or high (8.5 mg, arms B and D) dose with or without INO-9012 (1 mg) was administered IM followed by EP in total 4 dosing arms on Day 0 and at Wks 3, 12, and 24 in 60 planned pts (15/arm). Pts were followed for 72 Wks. Results: 62 pts, 16 each in arms A and D and 15 in B and C were enrolled. Median age: 69.5 yrs (range 55.4-87.7), Gleason score: 7 (5-10), time from initial diagnosis: 8.2 yrs (0.5-23.8) and ECOG PS: 0 (0-1). As of data cutoff of 23Jan17, 52 pts had EOT visit, 7 withdrawn from treatment and 6 (10%) reported disease progression, 3 biochemical and 3 radiographic. Median serum PSA at enrollment was 4.6 ng/mL (range 1.2, 113.7) and at EOT was 6.5 ng/mL (0.1, 73.6). Median PSADT at enrollment was 8.7 months (3.1, 218.1) and at EOT it was 3.1 months (-23.1, 100.0). Safety: no reports of Grade 4-5 SAEs. 6 Grade 3 SAEs in 5 pts: presyncope, cardiac disorder, fall, neoplasm, ALT and AST elevation. Grade 1-3 AEs reported in 51 (82%) pts: 12 (75%) in Arm A, 13 (87%) B, 13 (87%) C, and 13 (81%) in D. Common AEs were injection site pain (24/39%), swelling (14/23%), erythema (14/23%), all Grade 1-2. Conclusions: INO-5150 (+) and (-) INO-9012 was generally safe and well-tolerated at all 4 dose levels in this patient population. Preliminary data suggest PSA stabilization in some patients. Immune analyses are ongoing. (NCT02514213) Clinical trial information: NCT02514213.

80 Background: Introducing amino acid sequence changes in highly expressed self-antigens for androgen sensitive prostate cancer pts might be sufficient to break tolerance, thus a DNA vaccine was developed using SynCon PSA and PSMA (INO-5150) that share 96.8 and 91.6% sequence identities to these native antigens, respectively. Administration of these antigens to prostate cancer pts along with plasmid encoded adjuvant IL-12 (INO-9012) via electroporation (EP) using the CELLECTRA5P device is postulated to break tolerance, resulting in an antigen-specific immune response which could lead to stabilization of disease progression. Methods: This Phase I, open-label, multicenter study included prostate cancer pts post-definitive therapy with a rising PSA ≥ 1.0 ng/ml after surgery, or ≥ 2.0 ng/ml above nadir after RT and PSA doubling time > 3 months, testosterone > 150 ng/dL and no evidence of metastasis within 12 months. INO-5150 with or without INO-9012 was administered IM followed by EP in 4 arms: low (2 mg) or high dose (8.5 mg) INO-5150 alone or with 1 mg INO-9012 on Day 0 and at week 3, 12, and 24 in 60 planned pts (15 pts/arm). DLT assessments were performed after dosing of the first 3 pts of each arm at Week 4. Results: Enrollment is complete in all 4 arms and at data cut-off (10Oct16), 62 enrolled pts received at least one, 60 pts received 3 and about half, 28 pts (10 in arm A, 8 in B, 7 in C, and 3 in D) received all 4 vaccinations. Safety: there were no DLTs noted. Four pts had five Grade 3 SAEs noted as pre-syncope, cardiac disorder, hospitalization for fall, ALT and AST elevation. No Grade 4-5 AEs were noted. Grade 1-3 treatment-emergent AEs occurred in 50 (81%) pts: 12 (75%) in arm A, 13 (87%) B, 13 (87%) C, and 12 (75%) in D. The most common AEs were injection site pain (24/39%), erythema (13/21%), swelling (12/19%), bruising (10/16%), hyperglycemia (8/13%) and fatigue (6/10%), all Grade 1-2. Assessments of immunological response, PSA kinetics and correlation with clinical outcome are ongoing and will be presented. Conclusions: INO-5150 (+) or (-) INO-9012 is generally safe and well-tolerable at all 4 dose levels in a biochemically relapsed prostate cancer patient population. Clinical trial information: NCT02514213.

2521 Background: LVGN6051, a monoclonal antibody against CD137 (also known as 4-1BB or TNFRSF9) with an engineered Fc capable of selectively binding to the Fcγ receptor IIB, acts as a conditional CD137 agonist, resulting in immune activation optimally in tumor microenvironment ( Qi, Nat. Commun. 2019 ). In preclinical models, LVGN6051 demonstrated robust anti-tumor efficacy and safety as a single agent and in combination with anti-PD-1 antibodies. Therefore, we have initiated this first-in-human study of LVGN6051 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of advanced or metastatic malignancy. Methods: This study includes accelerated dose escalation monotherapy up to 2 mg/kg of LVGN6051, and traditional 3 + 3 design for higher doses of LVGN6051 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab. Then, this study will enroll patients with specific types of malignancies following Simon’s two-stage design. Both agents are administered once every 3 weeks. Primary objectives of this study were to define the safety profile and to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of LVGN6051 alone or in combination with pembrolizumab. Pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics and clinical efficacy will be also evaluated. Results: At the cut-off date on January 18, 2021, 16 subjects have been enrolled into the monotherapy cohorts (n=12, no DLT observed up to 7 mg/kg), and the combination cohort (n=4, ongoing at LVGN6051 2 mg/kg and pembrolizumab 200 mg, one DLT observed). No treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) was observed in monotherapy. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) in combination included increased ALT/AST, thrombocytopenia, and fatigue. In the combination cohort, one patient with predominant hepatic metastases and history of intermittent grade 2 hepatic impairment experienced grade 3 increased ALT/AST (DLT) on cycle 1 day 15 that were resolved to her baseline without corticosteroids on cycle 1 day 18. TRAE included increased ALT/AST, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, nausea and fatigue. Seven of 10 evaluable patients in the monotherapy cohorts demonstrated stable disease with the longest treatment being 8+ months. Tumor reductions by >10% were observed in melanoma and neuroendocrine tumor on monotherapy. One patient with metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who had progressed on an anti-PD-L1 based therapy showed an immune partial response (iPR) for 6+ months to the combination therapy. Conclusions: Preliminary evidence showed that LVGN6051 was well tolerated and tumor shrinkages were observed. While we continue assessing its safety profile, antitumor activity was observed in the LVGN6051 and pembrolizumab cohort. The favorable safety profile and preliminary antitumor activity warrant further evaluation in patients with advanced malignancies. Clinical trial information: NCT04130542.
