Multicenter Phase I Study of Erdafitinib (JNJ-42756493), Oral Pan-Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor, in Patients with Advanced or Refractory Solid Tumors

AbstractPurpose:Here, we report results of the first phase I study of erdafitinib, a potent, oral pan-FGFR inhibitor.Patients and Methods:Patients age ≥18 years with advanced solid tumors for which standard antineoplastic therapy was no longer effective were enrolled (NCT01703481). Parts 2 to 4 employed molecular screening for activating FGFR genomic alterations. In patients with such alterations, two selected doses/schedules identified during part 1 dose-escalation [9 mg once daily and 10 mg intermittently (7 days on/7 days off), as previously published (Tabernero JCO 2015;33:3401-8)] were tested.Results:The study included 187 patients. The most common treatment-related adverse events were…

Evaluation of bintrafusp alfa, a bifunctional fusion protein targeting TGF-β and PD-L1, in cervical cancer: Data from phase 1 and phase 2 studies.

5509 Background: The accelerated FDA approval of pembrolizumab validated the efficacy of anti–PD-(L)1 therapy for pts with recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer; however, the objective response rate (ORR) with pembrolizumab was 14.3% in pts with PD-L1 expressing tumors. HPV infection is implicated in > 95% of cervical cancers and is linked to upregulation of TGF-β signaling. Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. We report pooled safety and efficacy in pts with immune checkpoint inhibitor–naive, recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer treated with…

Phase I Study of the Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) Inhibitor Navoximod (GDC-0919) Administered with PD-L1 Inhibitor (Atezolizumab) in Advanced Solid Tumors

Abstract Purpose: IDO1 induces immune suppression in T cells through l-tryptophan (Trp) depletion and kynurenine (Kyn) accumulation in the local tumor microenvironment, suppressing effector T cells and hyperactivating regulatory T cells (Treg). Navoximod is an investigational small-molecule inhibitor of IDO1. This phase I study evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of navoximod in combination with atezolizumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, in patients with advanced cancer. Patients and Methods: The study consisted of a 3+3 dose-escalation stage (n = 66) and a tumor-specific expansion stage (n = 92). Navoximod was given orally every 12 hours continuously for 21 consecu…

Abstract CT217: Phase I, first-in-human trial evaluating BI 1387446 (STING agonist) alone and in combination with ezabenlimab (BI 754091; anti-PD-1) in solid tumors

Abstract Background/Purpose Activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway in intratumoral immune cells leads to increased type I interferon production, promoting recruitment and priming of T-cells against tumor antigens and triggering anti-tumor activity. In patients with cancer, STING agonists have shown clinical activity, with effects increased when combined with an anti-programmed cell death [PD]-1 antibody. BI 1387446 potently and highly selectively activates the STING pathway; ezabenlimab (BI 754091) is a humanized IgG4 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Tumor regression and enhanced activity of anti-PD-1 therapy was observed after BI 1387446 administration in syngeneic …

408 Phase I, first-in-human trial evaluating BI 1387446 (stimulator of interferon genes [STING] agonist) alone and combined with BI 754091 (anti-programmed cell death [PD]-1) in solid tumors

Background Activation of the STING pathway in intratumoral immune cells leads to increased type I interferon production, promoting recruitment and priming of T-cells against tumor antigens, and providing anti-tumor activity.1 Intratumoral administration of STING agonists has resulted in notable therapeutic activity in animal models.1 STING agonists have also shown clinical activity in patients, which was more pronounced when combined with an anti-PD-1 antibody.2,3 BI 1387446 potently and highly selectively activates the STING pathway; BI 754091 is a humanized IgG4 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Intratumoral administration of BI 1387446 resulted in tumor regression, and enhanced the activity…

Safety and efficacy of anti-PD-1 inhibitor ABBV-181 in lung and head and neck carcinoma

Abstract Background ABBV-181 is a humanized anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody; dose finding and early safety, PK and pharmacodynamic data have been reported (ESMO18). This report summarizes data from the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expansion cohorts in the Ph1 FIH study (NCT03000257). Methods Patients (pts) with previously treated, advanced HNSCC and NSCLC received ABBV-181 IV, 250 mg Q2W or 500 mg Q4W to progression. Response was assessed by RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST. Results As of April 2019, 81 pts were dosed. Table . 1288P n (%) HNSCC n = 41 NSCLC n = 40 Median days on treatment, range 72, 1–407 71, 1–421 Dose: 250 mg/500 mg 31/10 19/21 …

A phase I pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of dalotuzumab (MK-0646), an anti-insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor monoclonal antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Abstract Purpose: Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) mediates cellular processes in cancer and has been proposed as a therapeutic target. Dalotuzumab (MK-0646) is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds to IGF-1R preventing receptor activation. This study was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of dalotuzumab, determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles, and identify a recommended phase II dose. Experimental Design: Patients with tumors expressing IGF-1R protein were allocated to dose-escalating cohorts of three or more patients each and received intravenous dalotuzumab weekly, every 2 or 3 weeks. Plasma was collected for PK analysis…
