4030 Background: Lenvatinib, an anti-angiogenic multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with the anti‒PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab, has demonstrated promising antitumor activity with manageable safety in the first- or second-line in a phase 2 trial of patients with advanced gastric cancer. LEAP-005 (NCT03797326) is a phase 2, multicohort, nonrandomized, open-label study evaluating efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in patients with previously treated advanced solid tumors; here, we present findings from the gastric cancer cohort of LEAP-005. Methods: Eligible patients were aged ≥18 years with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic and/or unresectable gastric cancer, received at least 2 prior lines of therapy, had measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, ECOG PS of 0‒1, and provided a tissue sample evaluable for PD-L1 expression. Patients received lenvatinib 20 mg once daily plus pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years) or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Treatment with lenvatinib could continue beyond 2 years in patients experiencing clinical benefit. Primary endpoints were ORR (per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review) and safety. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR; comprising CR, PR, and SD), duration of response (DOR), PFS, and OS. Tumor imaging was performed Q9W from treatment initiation for 54 weeks, then Q12W to week 102, and Q24W thereafter. Results: 31 patients were enrolled in the gastric cancer cohort; 87% were male, 58% were aged < 65 years, and 71% had PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. Median time from first dose to data cutoff (April 10, 2020) was 7.0 months (range, 1.9‒11.9); 19 patients (61%) had discontinued treatment. ORR was 10% (95% CI, 2‒26); 1 patient had CR (3%), and 2 had a PR (6%). 12 patients (39%) had SD. Median DOR was not reached (range, 2.1+ to 2.3+ months). DCR was 48% (95% CI, 30‒67). Median PFS was 2.5 months (95% CI, 1.8‒4.2). Median OS was 5.9 months (95% CI, 2.6‒8.7). 28 patients (90%) had treatment-related AEs, including 13 patients (42%) with grade 3‒5 AEs. 1 patient had a treatment-related AE that led to death (hemorrhage). 8 patients (26%) had immune-mediated AEs: hypothyroidism (n = 5), hyperthyroidism (n = 2), and pneumonitis (n = 1). There were no infusion-related reactions. Conclusions: In patients with advanced gastric cancer who received 2 prior lines of therapy, lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile. Based on these data, enrollment in the gastric cancer cohort has been expanded to 100 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03797326.

3564 Background: Pembrolizumab (pembro), an anti-PD-1 antibody, is approved for the treatment of patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair (MMR) deficient colorectal cancer, both as first-line treatment and after progression following treatment with fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. The combination of lenvatinib, a multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and anti-PD-1 treatment showed synergistic antitumor activity in preclinical models. LEAP-005 (NCT03797326) is evaluating the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus pembro in pts with previously treated advanced solid tumors. We present findings from the colorectal cancer cohort. Methods: In this nonrandomized, open-label, phase 2 study, adult pts (aged ≥18 y) with histologically/cytologically documented metastatic and/or unresectable colorectal cancer, non–MSI-H/pMMR tumor per local determination, previous treatment with oxaliplatin and irinotecan in separate lines of therapy, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, ECOG PS of 0‒1, and a tissue sample evaluable for PD-L1 expression were eligible. Pts received lenvatinib 20 mg QD plus pembro 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles of pembro (̃2 y) or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Treatment with lenvatinib could continue beyond 2 y in pts with clinical benefit. Primary endpoints were ORR (per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review) and safety. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), PFS, and OS. Tumor imaging was performed Q9W from treatment initiation for 54 wks, then Q12W to week 102, and Q24W thereafter. Results: 32 pts with colorectal cancer received treatment with lenvatinib plus pembro (median age, 56 y [range, 36-77]; male, 81%; 3L, 91%); median time from first dose to data cutoff (April 10, 2020) was 10.6 mo (range, 5.9-13.1). ORR was 22% (95% CI, 9–40; table). Grade 3–5 treatment-related AEs occurred in 16 (50%) pts. Treatment-related AEs led to treatment discontinuation in 3 pts (grade 2 ischemic stroke [n = 1], grade 3 increased liver transaminases [n = 1], grade 5 intestinal perforation [n = 1]). Conclusions: In pts with previously treated advanced non–MSI-H/pMMR colorectal cancer, lenvatinib plus pembro demonstrated promising antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile. Enrollment in the colorectal cohort was expanded to 100 pts. Clinical trial information: NCT03797326. [Table: see text]

4080 Background: Second-line treatment options for patients with biliary tract cancers (BTC) are limited. Lenvatinib, an anti-angiogenic multikinase inhibitor, in combination with the programmed death-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab, has demonstrated promising antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile in patients with select advanced solid tumors. LEAP-005 (NCT03797326) is evaluating the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in patients with previously treated advanced solid tumors; here we present results from the BTC cohort of LEAP-005. Methods: In this nonrandomized, open-label, phase 2 study, eligible patients were aged ≥18 years with histologically or cytologically documented advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) BTC with disease progression after 1 prior line of therapy, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, ECOG PS of 0‒1, and tissue sample evaluable for PD-L1 expression. Patients received lenvatinib 20 mg once daily plus pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years) or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Treatment with lenvatinib could continue beyond 2 years in patients experiencing clinical benefit. Primary endpoints were ORR (per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review) and safety. Secondary endpoints were the disease control rate (DCR; comprising CR, PR, and SD), duration of response (DOR), PFS, and OS. Tumor imaging was performed Q9W from treatment initiation for 54 weeks, then Q12W to week 102, and Q24W thereafter. Results: 31 patients were enrolled in the BTC cohort (ECOG PS 1, 55%; 84% ex-US). As of April 10, 2020, median time from first dose to data cutoff (DCO) was 9.5 months (range, 3.1‒11.9), with 8 patients on treatment at DCO. There were 3 (10%) PRs and 18 (58%) SDs. ORR was 10% (95% CI, 2‒26), and DCR was 68% (95% CI, 49‒83). Median DOR was 5.3 months (range, 2.1+ to 6.2). Median PFS was 6.1 months (95% CI, 2.1‒6.4). Median OS was 8.6 months (95% CI, 5.6 to NR). Treatment-related AEs occurred in 30 patients (97%), including 15 (48%) who had grade 3 AEs; there were no grade 4 or 5 treatment-related AEs. 2 (6%) discontinued treatment due to treatment-related AEs (myocarditis, pyrexia; n = 1 each). The most frequent treatment-related AEs were hypertension (42%), dysphonia (39%), diarrhea (32%), fatigue (32%), and nausea (32%). 14 patients (45%) had immune-mediated AEs and 1 patient (3%) had an infusion-related reaction. Conclusions: Lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab demonstrated encouraging efficacy and manageable toxicity in patients with advanced BTC who had received 1 line of prior therapy. Based on these data, enrollment in the BTC cohort has been expanded to 100 patients. Clinical trial information: NCT03797326.

2565 Background: Approval of pembrolizumab for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors that have progressed on prior therapy was supported by data from KEYNOTE-158 (NCT02628067). At the data cutoff of Dec 6, 2018, the ORR was 34.3% among 233 patients (pts) with MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors enrolled in all cohorts of KEYNOTE-158, 77.6% had duration of response (DOR) ≥24 mo, median PFS was 4.1 mo, and median OS was 23.5 mo. We present results from 351 pts enrolled in KEYNOTE-158 cohort K at the data cutoff of Oct 5, 2020. Methods: Cohort K of this phase 2, open-label study enrolled adults with any previously treated advanced noncolorectal MSI-H solid tumor, measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, and ECOG PS of 0–1. MSI-H/dMMR status was assessed locally from a tumor tissue sample and defined as ≥1 of 4 MMR proteins absent by immunohistochemistry or as ≥2 allelic loci size shifts of 5 microsatellite markers by PCR. Pts received pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W for up to 35 cycles or until PD, unacceptable toxicity, investigator decision, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was ORR per RECIST v1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR). Secondary endpoints were DOR and PFS per RECIST v1.1 by BICR, OS, and safety. Efficacy was assessed in all pts who received ≥1 dose of treatment with ≥6 mo follow-up; safety was assessed in all treated pts. Results: 351 pts were enrolled in KEYNOTE-158 cohort K across multiple tumor types, including endometrial (22.5%), gastric (14.5%), small intestine (7.4%), ovarian (7.1%), cholangiocarcinoma (6.3%), and pancreatic (6.3%). 41.0% had 1 prior line of therapy; 55.6% had ≥2 prior lines. Median time from first dose to database cutoff (Oct 5, 2020) was 37.5 (range, 0.2–55.6) mo; 16.0% were continuing treatment. The ORR among the 321 eligble pts was 30.8% (CR, 27; PR, 72); median DOR was 47.5 mo (Table). Treatment-related AEs occurred in 64.7% of pts (grade 3–5, 12.0%), led to discontinuation in 6.6%, and led to death in 3 pts (myocarditis, pneumonia, and Guillain-Barre syndrome). Immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions occurred in 20.2% of pts (grade 3–4, 4.3%) and led to death in 2 pts with no other contributing factors (myocarditis [AE start, day 26; death, day 33] and Guillain-Barre syndrome [AE start, day 22; death, day 41]). Conclusions: Pembrolizumab demonstrated a high ORR (30.8%), durable clinical benefit, and a manageable safety profile in this heavily pretreated advanced MSI-H/dMMR noncolorectal pan-tumor population. Clinical trial information: NCT02628067. [Table: see text]

BackgroundTislelizumab is an investigational, humanized, IgG4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity for programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) that was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages in order to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy.MethodsThe purpose of this phase 1/2, open-label, non-comparative study was to examine the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of tislelizumab in adult (≥18 years) Chinese patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors with measurable disease. The phase 1 portion of the study consisted of a dose-verification study and a pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy; phase 2 was an indication-expansion study including 11 solid tumor cohorts. Patients previously treated with therapies targeting PD-1 or its ligand, programmed cell death ligand-1 were excluded. During dose-verification, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were monitored; safety and tolerability were examined and the previously determined recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was verified. The primary endpoint of phase 2 was investigator-assessed objective response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors V.1.1.ResultsAs of December 1, 2018, 300 patients were treated with tislelizumab 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks (Q3W). Median duration of follow-up was 8.1 months (range 0.2–21.9). No DLTs were reported during the phase 1 dose-verification study and the RP2D was confirmed to be 200 mg intravenously Q3W. Most treatment-related adverse events (62%) were grade 1 or 2, with the most common being anemia (n=70; 23%) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (n=67; 22%). Of the 251 efficacy evaluable patients, 45 (18%) achieved a confirmed clinical response, including one patient from the PK substudy who achieved a complete response. Median duration of response was not reached for all except the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cohort (8.3 months). Antitumor responses were observed in multiple tumor types.ConclusionsTislelizumab was generally well tolerated among Chinese patients. Antitumor activity was observed in patients with multiple solid tumors.Trial registration numberCTR20160872.

TPS9594 Background: Pembro, a PD-1 inhibitor, has shown effective antitumor activity, deep and durable responses, and survival benefit in treatment-naive pts and those with previously treated metastatic melanoma. Len, a potent inhibitor of VEGF receptors 1-3, FGF receptors 1-4, PDGF receptor α, RET, and KIT, combined with a PD-1 inhibitor showed antitumor activity superior to either agent alone in preclinical models of colorectal and lung cancer. Additionally, len plus pembro showed anti-tumor activity and was well-tolerated (24-wk ORR, 47.6%; TRAE: gr 3/4, 67%; gr 5, 0%) in pts with advanced melanoma previously treated with 0-2 therapies in the phase 1b/2 KEYNOTE-146 trial. The efficacy and safety of len plus pembro combination therapy will be evaluated in an open-label, phase 2 trial of pts with advanced melanoma that progressed on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy (NCT03776136). Methods: Key inclusion criteria: age ≥18 years, histologically/cytologically confirmed unresectable stage III-IV melanoma that progressed (per iRECIST) within 12 weeks of last dose of an approved PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy (≥2 doses as monotherapy or combined with other therapies), measurable disease, ECOG PS 0/1, no active autoimmune disease, and adequate organ function. Pts must provide a baseline tumor sample. Pts will receive len 20 mg/day orally plus pembro 200 mg IV Q3W for approximately 2 years (35 doses of pembro), after which they may receive len alone until PD or unacceptable toxicity. Response will be assessed per RECIST v1.1 based on blinded independent central review (BICR) Q9W until week 54, Q12W until week 102, and Q24W thereafter. Pts with CR may discontinue treatment after ≥24 weeks of therapy; eligible pts may continue treatment beyond initial RECIST- or iRECIST-defined PD. AEs will be assessed throughout treatment and for 90 days (120 days for serious AEs) after last dose and graded per NCI CTCAE v4.0. Pts will be followed-up for survival status Q12W. The primary efficacy end point is ORR per modified RECIST v1.1 (BICR). Key secondary end points are PFS and DOR per modified RECIST v1.1 (BICR), OS, and safety; an exploratory biomarker analysis is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT03776136.
