TPS354 Background: BRCA1-Associated Protein 1 (BAP1) is a critical regulator of the cell cycle, cellular differentiation, cell death, and DNA damage response. It also acts as a tumor suppressor. Preclinical models demonstrate significant synthetic lethality in BAP1 mutant cell lines and patient xenografts when treated with PARP inhibitors, independent of underlying BRCA status, suggesting this mutation confers a BRCA-like phenotype. BAP1 is mutated, leading to a loss of functional protein, in up to 30% of cholangiocarcinomas as well as several other solid tumors. Methods: This phase 2, open-label, single arm multicenter study aims to exploit the concept of synthetic lethality with the use of the PARP inhibitor niraparib in pts with metastatic relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Eligible pts with measurable metastatic and incurable solid tumors are assigned to one of two cohorts: Cohort A (histology-specific): tumors harboring suspected BAP1 mutations including cholangiocarcinoma, uveal melanoma, mesothelioma or clear cell renal cell carcinoma with tissue available for BAP1 mutational assessment via NGS or Cohort B (histology-agnostic): tumors with known DNA damage response (DDR) mutations (Table) confirmed by CLIA-approved NGS. Other key eligibility criteria include age ≥18 years, adequate cardiac, renal, hepatic function and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1. Pts with known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations or prior PARPi exposure are excluded. Pts receive niraparib 200-300mg daily (depending on weight and/or platelet count) continuously. Primary endpoint is objective response rate with secondary endpoints of PFS, OS, toxicity and exploratory biomarker determinations. Radiographic response by RECIST criteria is measured every 8 weeks while on treatment. Cohort A has fully enrolled. Cohort B enrollment continues to a maximum of 47 total evaluable subjects with expansion cohorts allowable for histologic or molecular subtypes meeting pre-specified responses.

Maintenance of genomic stability is a critical determinant of cell survival and relies on the coordinated action of the DNA damage response (DDR), which orchestrates a network of cellular processes, including DNA replication, DNA repair and cell-cycle progression. In cancer, the critical balance between the loss of genomic stability in malignant cells and the DDR provides exciting therapeutic opportunities. Drugs targeting DDR pathways taking advantage of clinical synthetic lethality have already shown therapeutic benefit – for example, the PARP inhibitor olaparib has shown benefit in BRCA-mutant ovarian and breast cancer. Olaparib has also shown benefit in metastatic prostate cancer in DDR-defective patients, expanding the potential biomarker of response beyond BRCA. Other agents and combinations aiming to block the DDR while pushing damaged DNA through the cell cycle, including PARP, ATR, ATM, CHK and DNA-PK inhibitors, are in development. Emerging work is also uncovering how the DDR interacts intimately with the host immune response, including by activating the innate immune response, further suggesting that clinical applications together with immunotherapy may be beneficial. Here, we review recent considerations related to the DDR from a clinical standpoint, providing a framework to address future directions and clinical opportunities.

e22061 Background: BRCA-associated protein-1 (BAP1) is a ubiquitin ligase associated with regulating cell cycle, cell proliferation, DNA damage pathway, and cell death. It also acts as a tumor suppressor gene as seen in hereditary cancer syndrome associated with germline mutations in BAP1. Preclinical studies have shown that PARP-inhibitor treatment of BAP1 mutant cell lines demonstrated significant synthetic lethality, independent of underlying BRCA status suggesting this mutation confers a BRCA-like phenotype. BAP1 is mutated, leading to a loss of functional protein, in up to 30% of several solid tumors including cholangiocarcinoma, mesothelioma, uveal melanoma, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Methods: This phase 2, open-label, single arm study aims to exploit the concept of synthetic lethality with the use of the PARP inhibitor niraparib in two biologically distinct cohorts. Eligible patients (pts) with measurable metastatic and incurable solid tumors are assigned to one of the two cohorts: Cohort A (histology-specific): tumors harboring suspected BAP1 mutations including cholangiocarcinoma, uveal melanoma, mesothelioma or clear cell renal cell carcinoma with tissue available for BAP1 mutational assessment via Next Generation Sequencing (NGS); or Cohort B (histology-agnostic): tumors with known DNA damage response (DDR) mutations (Table) confirmed by CLIA-approved NGS. Key inclusion criteria also include age ≥18 years, adequate cardiac, renal, hepatic function and ECOG PS of 0 to 1. Key exclusion criteria include known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations or prior PARPi exposure. Pts receive niraparib 200-300mg daily (depending on weight and/or platelet count) continuously. Primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints are progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), toxicity and exploratory biomarker determinations. Radiographic response by RECIST criteria is measured every 8 weeks while on treatment. Cohort B enrollment is closed. Enrollment in Cohort A continues. A maximum of 47 evaluable subjects is planned with expansion cohorts allowable for histologic or molecular subtypes meeting pre-specified responses. Clinical trial information: NCT03207347.

e14026 Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations are frequently observed in low grade gliomas and secondary glioblastoma. Mutant IDH enzymes aberrantly convert α-ketoglutarate (αKG) to 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). Accumulation of 2HG inhibits αKG-dependent dioxygenases, many of which are involved in epigenetic regulation. This can lead to cellular dedifferentiation and tumor formation. IDH-mutated cancer cells exhibit defective homologous recombination repair, providing the rationale for investigating poly (adenosine 5’-diphophate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in these tumors. Blockade of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) re‐sensitizes PARP inhibitor treated cancer cells to T‐cell killing. We report the preliminary results of the glioma arm of a clinical trial of a PARP inhibitor, olaparib plus PD-L1 inhibitor, durvalumab, for IDH-mutated solid cancer. Methods: This is a single arm phase II basket study (NCT03991832). Patients with IDH-mutated solid tumors are divided into three cohorts; A: glioma; B: cholangiocarcinoma; C: all other solid tumors. Major eligibility criteria include IDH mutation by immunohistochemistry or sequencing, progressive disease with maximum two prior systemic therapies, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG) 0 –1 and adequate organ function. Patients were excluded if they had received prior PARP inhibitors or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. Patients were treated with olaparib 300 mg orally twice daily continuously and durvalumab 1500 mg IV every 4 weeks. Each cycle was 4 weeks. Tumor response was evaluated by MRI after every 2 cycles of study treatments using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST). Results: As of Jan 2021, 9 patients were enrolled in Arm A, 7 men and 2 women. The median age was 42 years. Eight patients had IDH1 mutations and 1 had an IDH2 mutation. There were two patients with 1p/19q codeletion. Two patients had grade 2 tumors, four had grade 3, and three had grade 4 tumors. Median time since tumor diagnosis was 7 years. Objective response was seen in 1 patient with an IDH-mutated glioblastoma who remains on study treatments after 8 cycles. Six patients (67%) had tumor progression after two cycles. Two patients had stable disease as per RECIST but had clinical deterioration and did not continue the combined treatment. Common treatment emergent adverse events were all grade 1: fatigue (8 patients), nausea (6), abdominal pain (3), anemia (3), thrombocytopenia (3), and diarrhea (2). Median progression free survival was 2.5 months (range 1.9–8 months). Updated analysis and correlative studies will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: Combination treatment with olaparib and durvalumab for patients with IDH-mutated glioma is well tolerated but appears to lack adequate antitumor activity. Clinical trial information: NCT03991832.

The prognosis of men with prostate cancer (PC) with mutations in DNA damage response ( DDR) genes undergoing different treatments is unclear. This systematic review compared clinical outcomes in PC patients with DDR mutations ( DDR+) versus no mutations ( DDR-). 14 resources plus gray literature were searched for studies in PC and subgroups (castration-resistant PC, metastatic PC and metastatic castration-resistant PC) by DDR gene ( ATM, ATR, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, FANCA, MLH1, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C) mutation status. From 11,648 records, 26 studies were included. For mCRPC, six studies reported comparative efficacy for key outcomes. Improvements in several clinical outcomes were observed for DDR+ (vs DDR-) after PARP inhibitor therapy or immunotherapy. DDR+ PC patients may have improved outcomes depending on the treatment they undergo.
