e14501 Background: YH002 is a recombinant humanized IgG1 antibody that targets the human OX40 receptor. Preclinical studies have demonstrated the specificity, potency, and anti-cancer efficacy of YH002 in a comprehensive panel. The totality of nonclinical data supports progression of YH002 into clinical studies in adult patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Methods: This is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study. Patients with advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors received YH002 as single agent by IV administration at 0.01 to12.0 mg/kg dose levels every 21 days (Q3W), to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy. An accelerated titration dose escalation design followed by a traditional 3+3 dose algorithm were utilized to assess dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and identify MTD and/or RP2D. Tumor assessments were performed per RECIST v1.1 every 9 weeks. Results: By December 31 2020, six patients were enrolled and treated at escalating dose levels of 0.01 (n=1), 0.03 (n=1), 0.1 (n=1) and 0.3mg/kg (n=3), with tumor types including colon cancer, thymic cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and bladder cancer. Median treatment duration was 10.2 weeks (range 2 – 18). The median age of patients was 67 years old (range 47-78). These patients had progressed after a median of 2 prior lines of available standard therapy. As of data cutoff, no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), no Grade (G) 3 or above adverse events (AE) or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were reported. Drug-related adverse events (AEs) were all G1/2 events and occurred in 4 patients, including 8 G1 AEs (pneumonitis, rash, pruritus, arthralgia, myalgia, fatigue, lethargy, rash pruritic) and 3 G2 AEs (1 pneumonitis and 2 fatigue). Out of 5 patients having tumor assessment by RECIST, one pt with Thymic SCC at 0.3 mg/kg had best response of stable disease at week 9, one pt with prostate cancer at 0.1 mg/kg experienced Non-CR/Non-PD, and rest of 3 pts experienced progressive disease. Conclusions: These preliminary results demonstrate that YH002 was safe and tolerable up to 0.3mg/kg. Updated safety and antitumor activity will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT04353102.

2566 Background: Both RAS/RAF/MEK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways are deregulated in many tumor types. Targeting both pathways may be more efficacious than targeting either pathway alone. In preclinical models, concurrent administration of GDC‑0973, a potent, selective, MEK1/2 inhibitor and GDC-0941, a potent class I PI3K inhibitor, shows improved efficacy compared to either agent alone dosed continuously or intermittently. Methods: A phase Ib dose-escalation study with 3+3 design was initiated in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral dosing of GDC-0973 and GDC-0941. Pts received: concurrent GDC-0973 + GDC-0941 once daily (qd) on a 21 day on/7 day off (21/7) schedule; intermittent GDC-0973 on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18 of a 28 day cycle + GDC-0941 qd on a 21/7 schedule (MEK int); or GDC-0973 + GDC-0941 qd on a 7 day on /7 day off schedule (7/7). Starting doses were 20 mg GDC-0973 + 80 mg GDC-0941 (21/7), 100 mg GDC-0973 + 130 mg GDC-0941 (MEK int); 40 mg GDC-0973 + 130 mg GDC-0941 (7/7). Serial plasma PK samples, FDG-PET, and CT scans were obtained. Results: 78 pts have enrolled. DLTs were G3 lipase (n=1), G4 CPK elevation (n=1). Compared to the 21/7 MTD of 40 mg GDC-0973 + 100 mg GDC-0941, higher doses of GDC-0973 + GDC-0941 were tolerated on the MEK int schedule. Overall, adverse events related to the study drug combination in ≥ 20% pts were diarrhea, rash, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, decreased appetite, dysgeusia, and elevated CPK. Preliminary analysis indicated PK of GDC-0973 and GDC-0941 are not altered when dosed in combination. Of 46 evaluable pts, 26 had an FDG-PET partial metabolic response (≥ 20% decrease in mean SUVmax from baseline) at ≥1 time points. Partial responses were observed in 3 pts (mBRAF melanoma, mBRAF pancreatic ca, mKRAS endometrioid ca); 5 pts had stable disease ≥ 5 months. Conclusions: Combination dosing of GDC‑0973 and GDC-0941 is generally well tolerated, with toxicities similar to those observed in single agent GDC-0973 and GDC-0941 phase 1 trials. There are early signs of anti-tumor activity. Dose escalation on MEK int and 7/7 schedules continues and updated data will be presented.

TPS3169 Background: DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) regulates a key DNA damage response (DDR) pathway for double-strand break (DSB) repair. DNA-PK inhibition augments DNA DSB damage generated by many antitumor therapies, including RT. DNA damage and repair impact the interaction of tumors with the immune system; combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) with RT + DDR-targeted agents may modulate the tumor immune microenvironment, enhancing responsiveness to CPIs. M3814 (small molecule selective DNA-PK inhibitor) has demonstrated monotherapy activity in several tumor cell lines, and M3814 + RT combined with avelumab (programmed death ligand 1 mAb) significantly delayed tumor growth vs either agent alone + RT in MC38 syngrafts. This study will evaluate the clinical utility of M3814 combined with avelumab ± RT in pts with advanced solid tumors. Methods: NCT03724890 is a 2-part first-in-man study in adult pts with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Part A is enrolling pts with measurable/evaluable solid tumors (RECIST v1.1); Part B will enrol pts with primary or metastatic tumor(s) in the lung which is/are amenable to be irradiated. In Part A, M3814 will be given orally twice daily. In Part B, M3814 + TRT will be given once daily, 5 days/wk for 2 wk. In both parts, pts will receive avelumab iv once every 2 wk from Day 1 until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Part B will initiate once the Safety Monitoring Committee declares the first dose level of Part A to have acceptable safety/tolerability. Primary objectives are to define the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of M3814 when combined with avelumab (Part A) and with avelumab + TRT (Part B) via dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurring during the first 3/4 (Part A/B) wk of treatment. Secondary objectives include safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, preliminary antitumor activity (BOR, PFS, OS). Sample size for each part depends on the number of DLTs/dose levels for M3814; dose escalation will be based on a Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control. Part A aims to include 6–24 pts (≤4 dose levels), Part B 6–18 pts (≤3 dose levels). Recruitment began in Dec 2018. Clinical trial information: NCT03724890.

3611 Background: TP-1287 is a an orally bioavailable phosphate prodrug of alvocidib, a cyclin dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor. TP-1287 exhibits potent inhibition of intracellular kinases including CDK9. Inhibition of CDK9 leads to downregulation of the BCL-2 family member, MCL-1, which in turn inhibits tumor growth in preclinical animal models of prostate, breast, and lung carcinomas. Methods: This is a multicenter, Phase 1, dose escalation study using a standard 3+3 design with a modified Fibonacci scheme to examine the safety and clinical activity of TP-1287 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be added at the maximum tolerated dose (i.e. expansion cohort) to test TP-1287 as a single agent in patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer. Results: Twenty-two patients who were enrolled between December 2018 and January 2020 received a range of doses from 1 mg QD to 11 mg BID over 7 cohorts. Data are available for 20 patients as of the data cutoff date. TP-1287 plasma PK Cmax and AUC increased in near linear fashion over cohorts 1 thru 6, reaching 80 ng/mL and 499.3 ng*h/mL in cohort 6 for Cmax and AUC, respectively. TP-1287 treatment resulted in dose-dependent reductions of phospho-RNA Pol II, consistent with CDK9 inhibition, as measured by a flow cytometric assay assessing pharmacodynamic changes in phosphorylation state in PBMCs. The most frequently observed Grade 3 AE was unrelated anemia in 2 patients. All other events of Grade 3 (9 events/7 patients) and Grade 4 (1 event/seizure with new CNS mets) were unlikely related or unrelated. Clinical benefit was seen in one sarcoma patient with PR (15+cycles), one RCC patient with SD (7+cycles) and 2 bladder cancer patients with SD (6 and 8 cycles). Conclusions: These findings suggest that TP-1287 is tolerated as a monotherapy in patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed, refractory solid tumors and further clinical development in selected indications is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT03298984 .

2577 Background: YH001 is a humanized anti -hCTLA-4 IgG1 mAb that relieves CTLA-4-mediated immunosuppression, and thereby enhances the T-cell-mediated antitumor immune response. Pre-clinical data have shown potent anti-cancer activity when combined with anti-PD-1 mAb. Methods: This is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study. Patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors received YH001 by IV administration at 0.05 to 6.0 mg/kg for 1 cycle (21 days) then in combination with Toripalimab (anti-PD-1 mAb) at 240 mg Q3W for 4 cycles. An accelerated titration method followed by the standard “3+3” design was utilized to evaluate safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy. Results: As of 31-Dec-2020 data cut-off, 10 pts were enrolled and treated at 0.05 mg/kg (n = 2), 0.1 mg/kg (n = 3), 0.3 mg/kg (n = 3) and 1 mg/kg (n = 2). The median age was 62 years (range 46-74). Baseline ECOG scores were 0 (n = 8), 1(n = 2) with all pts progressed after a median of 2 prior lines of available standard therapy (range 1-4) including 1 pt progressed after immunotherapy of pembrolizumab. There were no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) observed. No severe adverse events (SAEs), Grade (G) 3 or above adverse events (AEs) and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were reported. Twelve drug related AEs were all G1/2 events including 2 G2 AEs (1 rash maculopapular at 0.05mg/kg, 1 hypothyroidism at 0.1mg/kg), 10 G1 AEs (1 hypotension, 1 dry skin, 1 pruritus at 0.05mg/kg; 1 rash, 1 rash macular, 1 hyperthyroidism, 2 rash pruritus at 0.1mg/kg, 2 fatigues at 0.3mg/kg). Among 7 patients having imaging tumor assessment by RECIST v1.1, there were 4 SD, including 1 at 0.05 mg/kg with tongue carcinoma at week 8 assessment, 1 at 0.1 mg/kg with nasopharyngeal carcinoma at week 8 and 15 assessment, 2 at 0.3 mg/kg with gastroesophageal junction cancer and uterus leiomyosarcoma at week 8. Conclusions: YH001 combined with Toripalimab is safe and tolerable up to 1 mg/kg dose level. Updated safety and preliminary efficacy data will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT04481009.

2580 Background: YH003, a recombinant, humanized agonistic anti-CD40 IgG2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) specifically recognizes and agonizes CD40 on the antigen-presenting cells to enhance immune responses. Preclinical data have shown potent anti-cancer activity when combined with anti-PD-1 antibodies. Methods: This is an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study. Patients with advanced solid tumors receive YH003 by IV administration Q3W as monotherapy at 0.03 to 3.0 mg/kg for the first cycle (21 days) then in combination with Toripalimab at 240 mg Q3W for the 4 subsequent cycles in an accelerated “3+3” design. The safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy data will be analyzed. Results: As of 31 Dec 2020 data cutoff, 9 patients (pts) were enrolled and treated at 0.03 mg/kg (n = 3), 0.1mg/kg (n = 3), and 0.3mg/kg (n = 3). The median age was 63 years (range 33-68). Baseline ECOG scores were 0 (7 pts) and 1 (2 pts) with a median of 2 prior lines therapy (range 1-7). 5 pts had received prior immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-1+CTLA-4). As of data cutoff, no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were observed. No Serious Adverse Event (SAE) or AEs leading to treatment discontinuation were reported. Four drug related AEs were reported including one Grade 1 (G1) choroidal thickening (related to YH003) at 0.03 mg/kg, one G1 fatigue (related to YH003) at 0.1 mg/kg, two G1 febrile episodes (one related to YH003 and the other related to combination treatment) at 0.3 mg/kg. Among 5 patients assessable for response, there were 2 SD (one with anti-PDL1 refractory Merkel cell carcinoma at 0.03 mg/kg and one with anti-PD1 refractory NSCLC at 0.1 mg/kg) and 1 PR with anti-PD1/anti-CTLA4 refractory ocular melanoma at 0.1 mg/kg. Conclusions: YH003 was well tolerated up to 0.3 mg/kg dose levels when combined with Toripalimab and has shown encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT04481009.
