6028 Background: RET alterations are targetable oncogenic drivers in multiple solid tumors and TCs. Pralsetinib is an oral, potent, selective RET inhibitor granted accelerated approval by the FDA for adults and children aged ≥12 y with advanced/metastatic RET fusion-positive TC who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory, based on ARROW trial (NCT03037385) results. Accelerated approval for medullary TC (MTC) was withdrawn by the sponsor in 2023 due to recruitment challenges in the confirmatory trial. We report final efficacy and safety in ARROW patients with RET -altered TC and MTC. Methods: Phase 2 ARROW patients were enrolled from 84 sites in 13 countries. Primary end points were overall response rate (ORR; per RECIST v1.1) and safety. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety were assessed in patients with advanced/metastatic TC and MTC who received ≥1 dose of pralsetinib (Efficacy Population [EP]). ORR and duration of response (DOR) were assessed in the Measurable Disease Population (MDP). Results: At the May 20, 2024, data lock, 28 patients with RET -altered TC and prior systemic treatment and 145 patients with RET -altered MTC received pralsetinib 400 mg/d (median treatment duration: 24.7 mo [TC]; and 35.4 mo [MTC]). In the TC and MTC groups, median age was 58 and 57 y; 39% and 64% were male; median (range) prior lines of treatment was 2 (1, 9) and 1 (1, 6). 53.8% of MTC patients had prior systemic treatment. In TC and MTC patients, ORRs (95% CI) were 91.7% (73.0, 99.0) and 68.2% (59.5, 76.0) (Table). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 27 (96%) TC and 142 (98%) MTC patients; 68% and 67% had grade ≥3. TRAEs in ≥35% of TC and MTC patients were increased AST (50% and 38%) and ALT (43% and 30%), decreased white blood cell count (39% and 30%), and anemia (39% each). Death due to a TRAE occurred in 1 TC patient (liver injury) and 1 MTC patient (pneumonia). Safety was consistent with prior reports. Conclusions: The final analysis of ARROW confirms that pralsetinib yields clinically meaningful and durable responses in patients with RET -altered TC and MTC with a manageable safety profile consistent with prior reports.

3116 Background: Pralsetinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively and potently targets oncogenic RET fusion and mutation proteins. RET fusions or mutations are present in various tumor types. We report the final results from the phase 2 portion of ARROW, a phase 1/2, open-label, multi-cohort, dose-expansion study evaluating the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib (NCT03037385) in patients with RET fusion-positive solid tumors other than non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and thyroid cancer. Methods: Eligible pts were ≥18 years of age with a pathologically documented, definitively diagnosed advanced solid tumor with an oncogenic RET fusion or mutation, had previously received standard of care appropriate for their tumor type, and were not eligible for any other study groups. Overall response rate (ORR) and safety were primary endpoints of the study. Key secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The final database lock was May 20, 2024. Results: Twenty-nine patients were enrolled with 11 different solid tumor histologies. Twenty-six (90%) received prior systemic therapy. Median age was 58 years (range 25-75); 59% were female. Twenty-eight patients were included in the efficacy analysis. ORR (by RECIST) was 46.4% (13/28); 10.7% (3/28) achieved complete response (pancreatic cancer, n=2; cancer of unknown primary, n=1) and 35.7% (10/28) achieved partial response. Median PFS was 7 months (95% CI: 3.9, 12.8). Median DOR was 11.1 months (95% CI: 5.5, 25.1). Median OS was 10.3 months (95% CI: 6.8, 25.2). Twenty-five (86%) patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs); 19/29 (66%) reported TRAEs ≥grade 3. The most common TRAEs included increased aspartate aminotransferase (11/29; 38%), increased alanine aminotransferase (10/29; 35%), and anemia (9/29; 31%). Four (13.8%) patients experienced hypertension, and 1 (3.4%) patient had ≥grade 3 hypertension. No new safety risks were identified; AEs remained manageable with supportive care and/or dose modifications. Conclusions: In the phase 2 portion of this trial, responses were observed in many tumor types (Table). Pralsetinib demonstrated robust and durable anti-tumor activity with an ORR of 46.4%. These data validate RET fusions as a tissue-agnostic target with sensitivity to RET inhibition and activity beyond NSCLC and thyroid cancer, further supporting the promising potential of pralsetinib to address the unmet medical need in these patients.

2526 Background: Tumor necrosis factor receptor-2 (TNFR2) is expressed on effector CD8+, CD4+, and regulatory T (Treg) cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and myeloid cells. Activation of TNFR2 is anticipated to yield effective anti-tumor immunity by stimulating T-cell and NK-cell activation and proliferation in the tumor microenvironment. HFB200301 is a first-in-class anti-TNFR2 agonistic monoclonal antibody that triggers both innate and adaptive immune stimulation by binding to a specific epitope on TNFR2. We report initial results of an ongoing Phase I dose escalation, multicenter study (NCT05238883) of HFB200301 in monotherapy and in combination with tislelizumab (TIS) in patients (pts) with advanced refractory solid tumors. Methods: A Phase I trial designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and initial efficacy of HFB200301 in monotherapy and in combination with TIS. Eligible pts, ≥18 years with an ECOG PS 0-1 and advanced solid tumors, will be enrolled in dose escalation at 5 different dose cohorts in monotherapy (Q4W), 3 different dose cohorts in combination with TIS (Q4W), or in dose expansion following determination of safety. Radiographic response is assessed every 8 weeks. Results: A total of 39 pts have been enrolled, 27 pts in monotherapy and 12 pts in combination. All pts received prior systemic therapy (median 2, range 1-4); 23 pts (59%) had prior checkpoint inhibitor treatment. No dose limiting toxicities were observed in either the monotherapy or combination arms. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 44% of monotherapy and in 50% of combination pts, with pruritis (11%), tremor (7%), fatigue (7%), asthenia (7%) and nausea (7%) being the most common TRAEs. No ≥ Grade 3 TRAEs were reported, and there were no drug discontinuations due to TRAEs. Preliminary HFB200301 PK analysis demonstrated non-linear clearance of HFB200301, with dose-proportional maximum concentration [Cmax], achieving sufficient exposures for peripheral target engagement in all tested doses. Emerging PD data demonstrates evidence of immune activation and expansion of CD8+ T cells, but not Tregs, in the tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood. Single cell RNAseq analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells demonstrated PD modulation in TNFR2 positive immune cell types post-HFB200301 treatment. Early response evaluation reveals ongoing durable clinical responses (> 6 months) in a PD-L1+ pleural mesothelioma pt and an EBV+ gastric cancer pt from combination cohorts. Conclusions: HFB200301 demonstrates a favorable safety profile, dose-dependent PK, with PD and preliminary clinical activity in monotherapy and in combination with TIS in pts with heavily pre-treated refractory solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT05238883 .

2531 Background: The immune co-stimulatory receptor OX40 is expressed on CD4+ T cells, including regulatory T cells (Tregs). First generation OX40 agonists faced limitations from interference with endogenous OX40-OX40L binding, leading to decreased surface OX40 levels on T cells. Distinguished by its unique epitope on OX40, the novel next generation IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) HFB301001 facilitates agonistic activity without impeding endogenous OX40 ligand binding. This allows for effective co-stimulation of T cells without diminishing OX40 levels. Additionally, HFB301001 exhibited superior in vivoanti-tumor activity and ability to enhance effector CD8+ T cell function compared to a benchmark first generation OX40 agonist in preclinical studies. Here, we report initial data of an ongoing dose-escalation study (NCT05229601) of HFB301001 in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Methods: A Phase I trial designed to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary efficacy of HFB301001. Eligible pts ≥18 years old (ECOG PS 0-1) with advanced solid tumors are enrolled in 4 different dose cohorts in monotherapy (Q4W) dose escalation. Solid tumor types were selected using Drug Intelligent Science (DIS®), employing integrative bulk and single cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) analyses to confirm and prioritize prospective targets in specific immune cell types. Sequential analysis of peripheral blood and tumor tissue biomarkers is performed. Radiographic response is assessed every 8 weeks. Results: As of January 06, 2024, 26 pts were enrolled, all having received prior systemic therapy (median 2, range 1-4); 81% received prior checkpoint inhibitor treatment. The majority of pts (77%) were male, median age was 62.5 years (range 41-78). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 34.6% of pts, none ≥ grade 3. Common TRAEs included rash (19%), pruritis (12%) and arthralgia (8%). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Preliminary results demonstrate dose-proportional increases in maximum concentration, typical mAb volume of distribution, and nonlinear clearance. On treatment biopsies revealed expansion of both natural killer and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, with no notable expansion of Tregs. Analysis of peripheral blood by scRNAseq and immunophenotyping revealed expansion of cytotoxic CD8+T cells relative to CD4+ T cells post treatment. Preliminary efficacy analysis indicates a disease-control rate (DCR) of > 60% with greatest effect seen in hepato-cellular and renal cell carcinoma. Median time on treatment was 1.9 months (range 0.9-17 months). Conclusions: HFB301001 demonstrates a favorable safety profile, dose-dependent PK and PD immunomodulation, and DCR in heavily pretreated solid tumors. HFB301001 warrants further evaluation and expansion in specific tumor types is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT05229601 .

Abstract Background: T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) is an inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor expressed on subsets of T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. TIGIT inhibits T and NK cell function by binding to CD155 and CD112. SEA-TGT is an investigational human, nonfucosylated monoclonal antibody directed against TIGIT, blocking TIGIT's interaction with CD155 and CD112. SGNTGT-001 (NCT04254107) is a phase 1, open-label, multicenter study of SEA-TGT in patients (pts) with advanced malignancies (solid tumors and lymphomas). In this abstract, we present data from the dose-escalation phase (Part A). Methods: Pts received SEA-TGT ranging from 0.01 to 6.0 mg/kg of body weight intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W). The primary objectives were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEA-TGT and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended dose and schedule of SEA-TGT. The optimal biological dose was defined using the Clinical Utility Index. Secondary objectives included the evaluation of antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity. Antitumor activity was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 or the Lugano classification criteria with Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria. Results: From June 12, 2020, to October 5, 2022, 41 pts were enrolled (2, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 7 pts in the 0.01, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 6 mg/kg cohorts, respectively). Among the 39 pts who were treated 23 pts had solid tumors and 16 had lymphomas. The median number of prior therapies across all cohorts was 5. Treatment emergent adverse events of any grade were reported in 100% of pts, and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade were reported in 69.2%. TRAEs seen in ≥10% of the pts were infusion-related reaction (38.5%), chills (25.6%), pyrexia (17.9%), fatigue (12.8%), maculopapular rash (12.8%), and rash (10.3%). Seven pts (17.9%) reported TRAEs grade ≥3, and rash (5.1%) was the most frequently reported. No grade 4 or 5 TRAEs were reported. One dose-limiting toxicity, pruritic rash, was observed in 1 pt in the 6 mg/kg cohort, and MTD was not exceeded. Based on the PK and pharmacodynamic data, 1 mg/kg Q3W was selected as the optimal biological dose for the expansion cohorts. One partial response was observed in a pt with gastric cancer, and 2 partial metabolic responses were seen in a pt with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and a pt with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Conclusions: Overall, clinical data for SEA-TGT from the SGNTGT-001 trial suggest a manageable and tolerable safety profile. Preliminary antitumor activity warrants further clinical evaluation of SEA-TGT. SGNTGT-001 is ongoing and evaluating monotherapy and combination therapies.

6080 Background: Alterations in RET are targetable oncogenic drivers in TC. Pralsetinib is a highly potent, selective RET inhibitor, with demonstrated efficacy in pts with RET-altered TC. In a previous analysis of the Phase I/II ARROW trial (NCT03037385; data cutoff: 22 May 2020), overall response rates [ORR; measurable-disease population] with pralsetinib at 400 mg once daily (QD) were 60% (33/55) and 71% (15/21) in pts with RET-mutant medullary TC ( RET-mutant MTC) who had received prior multikinase inhibitors cabozantinib and/or vandetanib (C/V), and those who were treatment naïve, respectively, and 89% (8/9) in pts with previously treated RET fusion-positive TC ( RET-fp TC). Here we report an updated analysis of these cohorts in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Methods: Adult pts with RET-altered locally advanced/metastatic TC who had enrolled in ARROW and initiated pralsetinib at 400 mg QD, were included. Phase II primary endpoints: ORR (by blinded independent central review, per RECIST v1.1) and safety. Efficacy endpoints for this analysis were assessed in the ITT population. Safety was assessed in all pts with RET-altered TC who initiated pralsetinib at 400 mg QD. Enrolment cutoff: 23 August 2020 for the ITT population; data cutoff: 12 April 2021. Results: The ITT population comprised 145 pts with RET-mutant MTC (with or without prior systemic therapy, including C/V) and 22 pts with RET-fp TC, 21 of whom had received prior systemic therapy (including multikinase inhibitor[s] and/or radioactive iodine). In pts with RET-mutant MTC who had received prior C/V (n = 67), ORR was 51% (34/67; 95% CI 38–63; 2 complete responses [CR]; 32 partial responses [PR]), median duration of response (DoR) was 25.8 months (95% CI 18.0–not reached [NR]) and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 24.9 months (95% CI 19.7–31.2). In treatment-naïve pts with RET-mutant MTC, ORR was 72% (48/67; 95% CI 59–82; 4 CR; 44 PR), and median DoR and median PFS were not reached. In pts with previously treated RET-fp TC, ORR was 86% (18/21; 95% CI 64–97; 3 CR; 15 PR), median DoR was 17.5 months (95% CI 16.0–NR) and median PFS was 19.4 months (95% CI 13.0–NR). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached in any of the cohorts. The safety population comprised 172 pts with RET-altered TC treated at 400 mg QD. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were increased aspartate aminotransferase (n = 67; 39%), anemia (n = 60; 35%), hypertension (n = 57; 33%) and decreased white blood cell count (n = 52; 30%). Serious TRAEs were reported in 27 pts (16%); the most frequent was pneumonitis (n = 5; 3%). Nine pts (5%) discontinued pralsetinib due to a TRAE and one patient ( < 1%) died due to a TRAE ( pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) following 44 days ( < 3 cycles) on pralsetinib. Conclusions: In this updated analysis including more pts, pralsetinib continues to be efficacious with a manageable safety profile in pts with RET-altered TC. Clinical trial information: NCT03037385.

TPS2670 Background: Tumor necrosis factor receptor-2 (TNFR2) is expressed on effector CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, T regulatory cells, natural killer cells, and myeloid cells. Targeting TNFR2 is anticipated to yield effective anti-tumor immunity by stimulating T-cell and NK-cell activation and proliferation in the tumor microenvironment. HFB200301 is a first-in-class anti-TNFR2 agonistic monoclonal antibody that triggers both innate and adaptive immune stimulation by binding to a specific epitope on TNFR2. HFB200301 has demonstrated dose-dependent anti-tumor activity in human TNFR2 knock-in mice bearing MC38 and Hepa1-6 syngeneic tumors. Methods: HFB200301 is being evaluated in a first-in-human, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study in adult patients with advanced solid tumors. A single-cell immune profiling platform, DIS, was deployed to identify unique tumor-infiltrating T cell signatures that could help optimize patient selection for HFB200301 treatment. It is hypothesized that the presence of an effector T cell subpopulation that express both TNFR2 and CD8A in solid tumors may represent a tumor microenvironment favorable to TNFR2 agonism. The following cancer indications have been identified based on the prevalence of a TNFR2 high/CD8 high signature: Epstein-Barr Virus positive (EBV+) gastric cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), cutaneous melanoma, testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT), soft tissue sarcoma (STS), and PD-L1+ cancers: cervical cancer, pleural mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The escalation portion of the study explores increasing doses in cohorts of up to six patients, utilizing mTPI-2 design to determine recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDE(s)). Based on pharmacokinetic modeling to maximize HFB200301 activity, 60-minute intravenous infusions of HFB200301 are administered every 4 weeks. Once RDE(s) is determined, expansion into three indication-specific cohorts is planned to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Key eligibility criteria include histologically documented advanced or metastatic solid tumors in the above listed indications. Patient enrollment opened in February 2022 in the USA, with plans for additional clinical sites in Spain and China. The primary objective is to identify the RDE, characterize safety and tolerability of HFB200301, and determine RP2D. Secondary objectives include pharmacokinetic parameters, preliminary evidence of anti-tumor efficacy (e.g., ORR, DCR, DOR) and pharmacodynamic evaluation (e.g., T cell subsets) in the blood and in the tumor. Furthermore, a potential predictive biomarker signature derived based on the DIS single-cell immune profiling approach will be investigated retrospectively. Clinical trial information: NCT05238883.

9089 Background: RET fusions are targetable oncogenic drivers in 1–2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ARROW (NCT03037385) supported the US FDA approval of pralsetinib, a highly potent oral selective RET inhibitor for RET-altered NSCLC and thyroid cancer. Here, we present updated results for a larger population of patients with RET fusion–positive NSCLC enrolled in ARROW. Methods: ARROW is a phase 1/2 open-label study conducted at 84 sites in 13 countries. Phase 2 expansion cohorts included patients with RET fusion–positive NSCLC. Initially, all treatment-naïve patients were not candidates for platinum-based therapy, a requirement removed by protocol amendment in July 2019. Primary objectives are overall response rate (ORR; blinded independent central review [BICR] per RECIST v1.1), assessed for patients with baseline measurable disease, and safety. Results: Updated analyses were completed as of Nov 6, 2020 (data cut-off), for patients who initiated pralsetinib 400 mg QD by May 22, 2020 (enrollment cut-off). Efficacy results, including analyses for treatment-naïve patients enrolled after eligibility criteria were revised to allow candidates for platinum-based therapy, are shown in the Table. Conclusions: Pralsetinib showed rapid, potent, and durable clinical activity in patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC (regardless of prior therapies), including poor prognosis patients not eligible for platinum-based therapy. Overall, pralsetinib was well-tolerated. These data highlight the need for RET testing early in the course of disease to identify candidates who may benefit from treatment with pralsetinib. Clinical trial information: NCT03037385. [Table: see text]
