e16065 Background: The phase 2 part of the study hypothesizes HER-Vaxx (IMU-131) will provide treatment benefits consistent with traditional monoclonal antibodies that target HER2 in patients with confirmed Her2+ advanced or metastatic gastric cancer with a corresponding adaptive immune response without added toxicity. In the phase 1b dose finding part of the study tumor response of patients who received 50ug dose strongly correlated with antibody levels with 50ug selected as the phase 2 dose (Wiedermann et. al., 2019). Phase 2 is a randomized two arm study of either HER-Vaxx plus standard chemotherapy or standard chemotherapy alone. The primary endpoint is overall survival, with progression-free survival, safety and immune related changes in humoral and cellular immunogenicity secondary endpoints. Methods: Patients received SOC chemotherapy for a maximum of 6 cycles with the HER-Vaxx group also receiving 50ug dose of IMU-131 at Baseline/Day 0, Day 14, Day 35, Day 77 and then every 63 days until disease progression. The per protocol pre-planned first interim analysis (OS, PFS and safety) in a total of 27 patients after 15 progression events was reviewed by the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC). Results: Within ITT analysis, 8 of 27 patients died on the control arm and 4 on the HER-Vaxx plus SOC chemotherapy arm with an overall survival HR of 0.418 (2 sided 80% CI: 0.186, 0.942) and a 1-sided p-value of 0.083. Out of 27 patients, 9 patients progressed on the control arm while 6 patients progressed on the HER-Vaxx plus SOC chemotherapy arm with a HR of 0.532 (2 sided 80% CI: 0.267, 1.060) and a 1-sided p-value of 0.086. A robust HER2 specific antibody response developed in the HER-Vaxx arm compared to the control arm whereas there was no difference in safety between the two treatment arms. Conclusions: The IDMC confirmed that the safety of the study was favorable with no added toxicity of HER-Vaxx and SOC chemotherapy with a favorable risk-benefit for the combination. The study has completed enrollment and final data is expected in late 2021. Clinical trial information: NCT02795988.

TPS176 Background: Gastric cancer is the 5th most frequently diagnosed cancer and the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths. HER2/neu is overexpressed in 15% to 25% of patients with gastric cancer and associated with a poor prognosis. Monoclonal antibodies against HER2/neu have been shown to be effective but alternative treatments are needed due to cost and global availability issues. IMU-131 is a B-cell peptide vaccine composed of 3 B cell epitopes derived from the extracellular domain of HER2/neu. Polyclonal antibodies against IMU-131 peptides binding 3 separate regions (DIII, IV) of HER2/neu have been shown to elicit antitumor activity in vitro and a phase I study demonstrated safety and immunogenicity in Her-2 +/++ metastatic breast cancer patients. Fusion of the single peptides into a hybrid peptide conjugated to CRM197 in conjunction with the adjuvant Montanide (P467-CRM-Montanide) improved formulation and stability of the vaccine. With the present Phase 1b/2 trial performed in patients with HER2/neu overexpressing gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, we hypothesized that administration of IMU-131 in addition to chemotherapy is safe and immunogenic, and will prolong survival and may delay tumor progression and/or reduce tumor burden. Methods: This study is an international open-label multicenter study performed in 16 Asian and Eastern European sites with a maximum of 18 patients enrolled in Phase 1b. This dose escalation study is designed to assess safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMU-131. Each patient is administered three injections of IMU-131, at a single dose level on Days 0, 14, and 35, accompanied by chemotherapy cycles of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil or capecitabine every 21 days. The RP2D will be evaluated in the dose expansion Phase 2 study with 68 patients being enrolled. Results: The study is ongoing with the completion of the phase 1b portion in 4Q18. Conclusions: No conclusions can be drawn at this time. Clinical trial information: NCT02795988.

4048 Background: T-DXd is an antibody–drug conjugate comprising an anti-HER2 antibody, a cleavable tetrapeptide-based linker, and a topoisomerase I inhibitor. DESTINY-Gastric01 (DS8201-A-J202; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03329690) is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 2 trial of T-DXd in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer (GC) or GEJ adenocarcinoma. In the primary analysis (101 OS events; median survival follow-up, 12.3 mo), T-DXd showed statistically significant benefit vs standard chemotherapy in objective response rate (ORR) and OS (Shitara K, et al. N Engl J Med. 2020;382:2419-2430); here, we present the final OS analysis as well as updated efficacy and safety. Methods: Patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic, centrally confirmed HER2-positive (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+ on archival tissue) GC or GEJ cancer that had progressed after ≥2 previous lines of therapy including trastuzumab were randomly assigned 2:1 (T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg Q3W or physician’s choice [PC] irinotecan [I] or paclitaxel [P]). Pts were stratified by country, ECOG performance status (0, 1), and HER2 status. Primary end point was ORR by independent central review. Key secondary end points were OS, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), confirmed ORR, and safety. Final OS analysis was performed at 133 OS events. Results: 187 pts received T-DXd (n = 125) or PC (n = 62 [55 I; 7 P]); 79.7% of pts were Japanese and 20.3% were Korean. Pts had a median of 2 prior lines of therapy, and 44.4% had ≥3. At data cutoff (June 3, 2020), 8% of T-DXd and 0% of PC pts remained on treatment (median survival follow-up, 18.5 mo). OS was improved with T-DXd vs PC (median OS, 12.5 vs 8.9 mo; hazard ratio [HR], 0.60 [95% CI, 0.42-0.86]); 12-month OS, 52.2% vs 29.7%. ORR was 51.3% (61/119; 11 CR; 50 PR) with T-DXd vs 14.3% (8/56; all PR) with PC ( P < 0.0001); confirmed ORR, 42.0% (50/119; 10 CR; 40 PR) vs 12.5% (7/56; all PR) ( P = 0.0001); DCR, 86.6% vs 62.5% ( P = 0.0003); confirmed median DOR, 12.5 vs 3.9 mo; median PFS, 5.6 vs 3.5 mo (HR, 0.47 [95% CI, 0.31-0.71]; P = 0.0003). Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 85.6% of T-DXd pts vs 56.5% with PC; the most common were neutrophil count decreased (49.6%, 22.6%), anemia (38.4%, 22.6%), and white blood cell count decreased (20.8%, 11.3%). 16 pts (12.8%) had T-DXd–related interstitial lung disease (ILD; 13 grade 1/2, 2 grade 3, 1 grade 4, no grade 5) vs 0 with PC. As reported in the primary analysis, there was 1 T-DXd–related death from pneumonia (non-ILD). Conclusions: With additional follow-up after the primary analysis, T-DXd continued to demonstrate OS benefit and clinically relevant improvement in ORR compared with standard chemotherapy, and a manageable safety profile, in HER2-positive advanced GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma.

5 Background: Trastuzumab (H) + capecitabine/fluorouracil + cisplatin is standard of care for 1st-line HER2-positive MGC/GEJC but there is no established HER2-targeted 2nd-line regimen. T-DM1 (H linked to DM1) is approved for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with H + TAX (separately or in combination). This and preclinical HER2-positive GC models provided the rationale for GATSBY (NCT01641939). Methods: GATSBY is a 3-arm randomized, adaptive, seamless phase 2/3 global study of T-DM1 vs TAX in pts with HER2-positive (immunohistochemistry [IHC] 3+ or IHC 2+/in situ hybridization-positive), unresectable LA/MGC/GEJC who progressed during or after 1st-line fluoropyrimidine + platinum ± HER2-targeted therapy. Pts were initially randomized 2:2:1 to T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks (q3w), T-DM1 2.4 mg/kg weekly (qw), or physician’s choice of paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 qw or docetaxel 75 mg/m2q3w. An independent data monitoring committee selected T-DM1 qw for further study and subsequent patients were randomized 2:1 to this or TAX. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS); all T-DM1 qw data are analyzed, including dose selection. Results: At clinical cutoff, 06/30/15, 415 pts had been randomized overall: 228 to T-DM1 qw, 117 to TAX (70 T-DM1 q3w pts reported separately); 77.4% had prior HER2-targeted therapy; 29.9% prior gastrectomy; 46.1% were Asian. Efficacy/safety are tabulated. Conclusions: T-DM1 2.4 mg/kg qw did not show an efficacy benefit over TAX. Grade ≥3 AE rates were numerically lower with T-DM1 vs TAX and rates of SAEs, fatal AEs, and treatment discontinuations due to AEs were comparable between arms.

TPS1096 Background: HER2-targeted therapies have improved survival in patients (pts) with HER2+ advanced/metastatic breast cancer (mBC) but challenges remain, including resistance to current HER2-targeted therapies. Also, additional treatment options are needed in pts with brain metastases (BM). In the phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 trial, T-DXd demonstrated efficacy, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 61.4% and median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 19.4 mo in pts with previously treated HER2+ advanced/mBC (Modi SABCS 2020); data from an earlier cutoff of this trial supported approval of T-DXd in the US, Europe, and Japan. In a subgroup analysis of 24 pts with stable BM, T-DXd showed preliminary efficacy, with mPFS of 18.1 mo (Jerusalem ESMO Breast Cancer 2020). Here, we describe a phase 1b/2 trial evaluating the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of T-DXd monotherapy and combinations in pts with HER2+ advanced/mBC, including pts with stable and active BM. Methods: DESTINY-Breast07 (NCT04538742) is a global, multicenter, open-label, phase 1b/2 trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of T-DXd monotherapy and combinations in pts with HER2+ advanced/mBC. This study consists of a T-DXd monotherapy module (module 0) and 5 combination modules of T-DXd plus (1) durvalumab, (2) pertuzumab, (3) paclitaxel, (4) durvalumab + paclitaxel, or (5) tucatinib, all in pts with no or stable BM. Two additional modules consisting of (6) T-DXd + tucatinib and (7) T-DXd monotherapy will include pts with untreated BM not requiring local therapy or previously treated BM that have progressed since local therapy (active BM). The need for chronic steroids or local therapy to manage BM symptoms is exclusionary. Modules 2 to 5 will each consist of 2 parts: dose finding (part 1) and dose expansion (part 2). Modules 0, 1, 6, and 7 will include part 2 only. Part 1 of individual modules will enroll pts who have had disease progression while receiving ≥1 prior line of therapy in the metastatic setting. In part 2, pts who have received no prior therapy (modules 0 to 5) or ≤1 prior therapy (modules 6 to 7) for metastatic disease will be randomized to receive a T-DXd combination regimen or monotherapy. The primary endpoints are determination of the recommended phase 2 doses (part 1 only) and safety and tolerability of T-DXd and combinations (parts 1 and 2). Secondary endpoints include ORR, PFS, PFS2, duration of response (DoR), and overall survival (all assessed in part 2 only) and pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity (parts 1 and 2). To assess central nervous system (CNS) activity, exploratory endpoints were added, including CNS-ORR, CNS-DoR, and CNS-PFS (by RECIST version 1.1 and RANO-BM criteria) as well as cognitive and symptom assessment using CANTAB, MDASI-BT, and NANO.

TPS870 Background: Approximately 96% of CRCs have an MSS phenotype, which results in more immunologically quiescent tumors for which immunotherapies are largely ineffective (Lee et al. 2015; Overman et al. 2016). Pts with MSS CRC and activating RAS mutation (35%–45% of CRCs) have treatment options limited still further because anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (eg, cetuximab) are ineffective owing to dominant activation of RAS in the MAPK pathway (Douillard et al. 2014). However, preclinical and preliminary clinical data suggest that MAPK pathway inhibition enhances antigen presentation and T-cell cytotoxicity to positively modulate the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors (Brea et al. 2016; Bendell et al. 2014). The main objective of this open-label multicenter phase 1b/2 study is to evaluate whether the potential positive modulation of NIVO or NIVO plus IPI, when combined with BINI, translates into clinically meaningful overall response in pts with MSS mCRC and RAS mutation. Methods: The study will enroll ~90 previously treated pts (1 or 2 prior regimens), ~42 in phase 1b and ~48 in phase 2. The primary objective of phase 1b will be to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BINI in combination with NIVO ± IPI. Dose finding in the doublet arm will begin with BINI 45 mg BID + NIVO 480 mg Q4W; the triplet arm will begin with the BINI RP2D from the doublet arm + NIVO 480 mg Q4W + IPI 1 mg/kg Q8W. In phase 2, pts will be randomized 1:1 to doublet or triplet arms, incorporating the BINI RP2Ds found in phase 1b; treatment will continue in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, loss to follow-up, or death. The primary objective for phase 2 will be to assess response by RECIST version 1.1. The study will also characterize safety and PK. CT.gov Identifier: Clinical trial information: NCT03271047.

Abstract The sonidegib and ruxolitinib combination was assessed in an open-label study in JAK inhibitor-naive patients with myelofibrosis (MF). The primary objective of phase 1b was to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and phase 2 was to assess spleen volume reduction at weeks 24 and 48. Fifty patients were enrolled. In the dose-escalation phase (n = 23), doses for sonidegib once daily/ruxolitinib twice daily were 400/10 mg (level 1, n = 8), 400/15 mg (level 2, n = 10), and 400/20 mg (level 3, n = 5). Two patients had dose-limiting toxicity at level 2: increased blood creatine phosphokinase (grades 3 and 4, n = 1 each). MTD/RP2D was determined as sonidegib 400 mg daily + ruxolitinib 20 mg twice daily. In phase 1b expansion and phase 2 stage 1 (n = 27), by weeks 24 and 48, ≥35% reduction in spleen volume was observed in 44.4% and 29.6% patients, respectively. By weeks 24 and 48, 42.0% and 26.0% patients had ≥50% reduction in Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form total symptom score, respectively. Most common treatment-related adverse events (grade 3/4) were increased blood creatine phosphokinase (18%), anemia (14%), and thrombocytopenia (12%). Four deaths were reported due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (on-treatment; no relationship with study treatment), acute myeloid leukemia, MF progression, and aspiration pneumonia. Although well tolerated, this combination will not be further developed in MF patients due to modest overall benefit compared with historical ruxolitinib monotherapy. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01787552.

e17510 Background: Limited effective treatments are available for advanced cervical cancer patients who progress after first-line chemotherapy. Historic data indicate PD-1 antibodies have significant activity in advanced cervical cancer patients. This study was designed to determine the efficacy and safety of HLX10 (a recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody) plus albumin-bound paclitaxel in patients with advanced cervical cancer who have progressed on or are intolerant to first-line standard chemotherapy. Methods: This is an ongoing single-arm, open-label, multicenter, two-stage phase 2 study (NCT04150575). 143 eligible patients aged between 18 and 75, with histologically or cytologically diagnosed cervical cancer and positive PD-L1 expression (combined positive score [CPS] ≥1) were planned to be enrolled and given intravenous infusion of HLX10 (4.5 mg/kg) plus albumin-bound paclitaxel (260 mg/m2) every 3 weeks. Stage one (N = 20) was a safety run-in and preliminary efficacy exploration study with primary endpoints of adverse events, serious adverse events and objective response rate (ORR, assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1). In this stage, after all patients completed two tumor evaluations (every 6 weeks), a safety evaluation and a preliminary evaluation of anti-tumor efficacy were conducted to determine whether to proceed to the second stage (N = 123). Stage two is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study with primary endpoint of ORR assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1. Results: Here we report the stage one results (safety and preliminary efficacy) of HLX10 in advanced cervical cancer patients. By cut-off date Oct 14, 2020, 21 eligible patients with median age of 50 (range: 31–65) and average CPS of 39.33 were enrolled; the median follow-up duration was 4.34 months. 71.4% patients had ECOG PS 1. The ORR assessed by IRRC and investigators were 52.4% (95% CI: 29.8%, 74.3%) and 42.9% (95% CI: 21.8%, 66.0%), respectively. The most common grade 3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were decreased neutrophil counts (n = 7, 33.3%), decreased white blood cell count (n = 6, 28.6%) and anemia (n = 4, 19.0%). No TEAEs leading to drug discontinuation were observed. One death (multiple organ dysfunction syndrome) possibly related to treatment was reported. Conclusions: Stage one results demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging efficacy (ORR 52.4%) of HLX10 plus albumin-bound paclitaxel in advanced cervical cancer patients who have progressive disease or intolerable toxicity to first-line standard chemotherapy, representing a novel potential treatment option that warranted further investigation. Clinical trial information: NCT04150575.
