Cytokine Analysis

TPS4599 Background: The majority of non- prostate genitourinary (GU) cancers are lethal when metastatic and rare GU cancers have limited treatment options. Bintrafusp alfa is a bifunctional fusion protein composed of human TGF-β receptor II, which sequesters or “traps” all three TGF-β isoforms and a monoclonal PD-L1 antibody. NHS-IL12 is an immunocytokine composed of two IL-12 heterodimers, each fused to the H-chain of the NHS76 antibody. The NHS76 IgG1 antibody has affinity for both single- and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) allowing for targeted delivery of pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-12, to necrotic portions of tumor with DNA exposure to promote local immunomodulation. Preclinical data suggest synergy between these two agents. There is also evidence suggesting that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can promote anti-tumor immune responses both locally and systemically while also synergizing with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, the combination of Bintrafusp alfa, NHS-IL12 and radiation is a potential strategy for metastatic non-prostate GU tumors. Methods: This is an open label, non-randomized, three-stage phase I trial of bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 or bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 in combination with either sequential or concurrent SBRT. Bintrafusp alfa (IV 1200 mg q2w) and SBRT (8 Gy x 3 fractions) are planned with a deescalating NHS-IL12 (subQ q4w) dose schedule. The accrual ceiling has been set at 66 patients. The trial will enroll patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic non-prostate genitourinary cancer with an ECOG ≤ 2 (KPS ≥60%). Participants may have had prior cancer immunotherapy but excluding prior treatment with bintrafusp alfa and/or NHS-IL12. 9 patients will receive treatment in cycles consisting of 4 weeks. The primary objective is to determine the safety and highest tolerated doses with acceptable toxicity (recommended phase II dose) of bintrafusp alfa and NHS-IL12 alone or in combination with SBRT administered sequentially or concurrently in patients with metastatic non-prostate genitourinary cancers. Secondary objectives are objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Exploratory objectives are to determine peripheral immune modulation and the status of the immune microenvironment using cytokine analysis, circulating tumor cells, multiplex immunohistochemistry, T-cell receptor sequencing, and RNA-sequencing. The study is open and enrolling. Clinical trial information: NCT04235777.

TPS5596 Background: There is no consistent recommendation for management of metastatic cervical cancer beyond first line therapy with chemotherapy and bevacizumab. Pembrolizumab is now approved for PD-L1 positive or MSI-H/dMMR metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer. Numerous pre-clinical studies have provided evidence to combine radiation therapy with immune checkpoint inhibition to improve response rates. The evidence is strongest for short course, hypofractionated radiation regimens. We hypothesize treatment with atezolizumab with hypofractionated radiation therapy will improve objective response rate (ORR) compared with atezolizumab alone in patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer. Methods: The study is designed as a prospective, single arm, nonrandomized, open-label, phase II trial of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with 24 Gy in 3 fractions to patients with ≥ 2 metastatic sites followed 1 week later by atezolizumab (1200 mg IV every 3 weeks) for patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer. Dose reductions will not be allowed. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the ORR by Immune-Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST) criteria following SBRT and atezolizumab. Secondary endpoints include progression free survival, overall survival, local control, and adverse events. Correlative aims include assessing blood and tissue biomarkers (i.e. PD-L1, mutation burden, TCR repertoire etc.) for association with clinical benefit. A total of 26 patients will be enrolled. An interim analysis will be performed to assess efficacy after 13 patients become evaluable.This study is open with 2 patients enrolled at the time of submission. Clinical trial information: NCT03614949.

2590 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1 are an effective treatment for a variety of cancers. However, the majority of patients (pts) exhibit resistance to ICIs. Overcoming this resistance represents a major challenge in immuno-oncology. Emerging evidence suggests radiation therapy (RT) produces an immunomodulatory effect that may act synergistically with ICIs. However, RT dose and ultimate efficacy are limited by toxicity to surrounding healthy tissues. NBTXR3, a novel radioenhancer administered by direct intratumoral injection (ITI), is designed at the nanoscale to increase RT dose deposit within tumor cells and subsequent tumor cell killing, without increasing toxicity to surrounding healthy tissue. Preclinical data suggest NBTXR3/RT can trigger a local and systemic anti-tumor immune response and overcome anti-PD-1 resistance. NBTXR3/RT combined with anti-PD-1 may prime the immune system to increase the proportion of ICI responders, or convert ICI non-responders to responders. Methods: This is a multicenter, open-label, phase I trial [NCT03589339] to evaluate NBTXR3/RT/anti-PD-1 in 3 cohorts: (1) Locoregional recurrent or recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) amenable to HN re-irradiation, and metastases from any primary cancer eligible for anti-PD-1 (nivolumab or pembrolizumab) treatment specifically localized in the lung (2) or liver (3), respectively. Stereotactic body RT (SBRT) is delivered at tumor-site selective doses per standard practice. The primary objective is NBTXR3/RT/anti-PD-1 recommended phase 2 dose in each cohort. Secondary objectives are anti-tumor response (objective response rate), safety and feasibility of NBTXR3 injection. Results: Nine pts have been treated: 3 HNSCC, 4 lung, 2 liver. 7/9 pts were anti-PD-1 non-responders. Overall tumor regression was observed in 8/9 pts. NBTXR3/RT/anti-PD-1 resulted in tumor regression in 6/7 pts who had progressed on prior anti-PD-1. A complete response in the injected lymph node lasting over 1 year was observed in 1 anti-PD-1 naïve pt. 2 SAEs related to anti-PD-1 and possibly related to NBTXR3 (G5 pneumonitis, G4 hyperglycemia) were observed in 1 anti-PD-1 naïve HNSCC pt and considered DLTs. This pt also experienced 2 other SAEs related to anti-PD-1 (G4 diabetic ketoacidosis, G4 acute kidney injury). SBRT-related safety profile was as expected. Updated results will be presented. Conclusions: Data from this first-in-human phase I trial evaluating NBTXR3/RT/anti-PD-1 in pts with advanced cancers, show NBTXR3 ITI is feasible and well-tolerated. NBTXR3/RT/anti-PD-1 demonstrated promising signs of efficacy. Of particular interest, NBTXR3/RT can overcome ICI resistance in pts having progressed on prior anti-PD-1, supporting further development of NBTXR3 in combination with anti-PD-1 as well as other ICIs. Clinical trial information: NCT03589339.

TPS3173 Background: Despite the past decade of transformative advances in immuno-oncology, the response rate to checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains low (~15%). There is significant interest in developing strategies to overcome resistance to these treatments, thus increasing response rate. Emerging evidence suggests that radiation therapy (RT) could potentially augment the antitumor response to ICIs through synergic effect. However, RT dose and ultimate efficacy are limited by toxicity related to exposure of healthy tissues. NBTXR3 is a first-in-class radioenhancer administered by direct intratumoral injection, designed at the nanoscale to increase RT dose deposition within tumor cells and RT-dependent tumor cell killing, without increasing surrounding normal tissue toxicity. Preclinical and early clinical data suggest NBTXR3 activated by RT can trigger an anti-tumor immune response, producing both local and systemic (abscopal) effects. We hypothesize that NBTXR3 activated by RT, in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy (R3/RT/PD-1), will act synergistically to maximize the local RT effect and produce a systemic response sufficient to increase the proportion of ICI responders or convert ICI non-responders to responders. Methods: This trial [NCT03589339] is a multicenter, open-label, phase I study to evaluate safety and tolerability of R3/RT/PD-1 in three cohorts: (1) Locoregional recurrent or recurrent and metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) amenable to re-irradiation of the HN field, (2) Lung metastases, or (3) Liver metastases, both from any primary cancer eligible for anti-PD-1 treatment. Approximately two-thirds of patients in each cohort will be anti-PD-1 non-responders. NBTXR3 injected volume is based on a percentage of gross tumor volume (GTV). The primary objective is to determine the R3/RT/PD-1 recommended phase 2 dose in each cohort. Secondary objectives are to evaluate anti-tumor response (objective response rate; ORR), safety and feasibility of NBTXR3 injection, and NBTXR3 body kinetic profile. Exploratory objectives will assess biomarkers of R3/RT/PD-1 response, including PD-L1 status by IHC, as well as mRNA and cytokine immune marker profiling. To date, three patients have been treated, one in cohort 1, two in cohort 2. Clinical trial information: NCT03589339 .
