TPS1122 Background: Treatment options for patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic BC have improved with the development of novel targeted therapies including trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), an ADC directed against HER2 with a cytotoxic topoisomerase I inhibitor as a payload. Currently, there are limited treatment options for pts with HER2+ or HER2-low metastatic BC that has progressed on T-DXd. BB-1701 is an ADC consisting of a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2 with eribulin (microtubule inhibitor) as a payload that is capable of exerting a bystander effect. A first-in-human dose-finding Study 101 of BB-1701 is ongoing. Here we describe Study 205, an open label, multicenter, phase 2 study of BB-1701 in pts with HER2+ or HER2-low unresectable or metastatic BC who have disease progression after treatment with T-DXd. Methods: Study 205 (NCT06188559) includes dose-optimization and dose-expansion parts for BB-1701. Eligible pts must have histologically confirmed HER2+ or HER2-low, unresectable or metastatic BC, with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1. Prior treatment must include 1–3 prior chemotherapy-based regimens for unresectable or metastatic BC, including T-DXd. The primary objectives of the dose-optimization part include determining the recommended dose (RD) and evaluating safety and tolerability of BB-1701. The RD will be assessed by randomly assigning ~50 pts into 1 of 3 dosing cohorts (1.6 mg/kg on day 1 Q3W, 0.8 mg/kg on days 1 and 8 Q3W, and 1.2 mg/kg on day 1 Q3W; IV) in a 2:2:1 ratio. Randomization will be stratified by HER2 status (HER2+ vs. HER2-low) documented prior to T-DXd treatment. The dose-expansion part will enroll ~85 pts at RD; the primary objective includes evaluating the efficacy of BB-1701 at the RD. In both study parts, secondary objectives include assessment of additional efficacy measures (i.e., duration of response [DOR], progression free survival [PFS], overall survival [OS], disease control rate [DCR], clinical benefit rate [CBR], and time to response [TTR]), and pharmacokinetics. Efficacy endpoints will be assessed per RECIST v1.1 by the investigator during the dose-optimization part or by Blinded Independent Central Review during the dose-expansion part. Safety assessments will consist of recording, monitoring, and grading of adverse events (AEs) based on CTCAE v5.0, AEs of special interest, and serious AEs. In both study parts, exploratory objectives will include evaluation of biomarkers of response to BB-1701 and BB-1701 immunogenicity; other efficacy measures (i.e., PFS on the next line of therapy) and population pharmacokinetics will be analyzed in the dose-expansion part only. Pt enrollment is currently open. Clinical trial information: NCT06188559 .

2583 Background: MT-5111 is a 55kD engineered toxin body (ETB) targeting HER2 in solid tumors that binds to an epitope distinct from trastuzumab and pertuzumab, offering potential combination strategies with other HER2-targeting agents. MT-5111 may demonstrate efficacy in patients (pts) resistant to other HER2-targeting agents, as its mechanism of action induces direct cell kill via enzymatic and permanent ribosome destruction. Methods: This is a phase 1 study in adults with advanced HER2+ solid tumors. The dose-escalation portion (Part A) enrolls pts into sequential dose cohorts, followed by Part B expansion cohorts for HER2+ breast cancer (BC), gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), and any other HER2+ cancer (CA). MT-5111 is dosed weekly IV over 30 min in each 21-day treatment (tx) cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death or withdrawn consent. Results: As of Jan 2022, 27 pts had enrolled in Part A cohorts (0.5 to 10 µg/kg/dose) with completed DLT assessments: 9 (33%) pts were male and 18 (67%) female, median age 67 and a median of 4 prior systemic and 2 prior HER2-targeting tx. Common tissue types were BC (9/30%), biliary CA (6/22%), GEA (4/15%). The following safety data reflect 33 treated pts to date including ongoing 13 µg/kg/dose Part A and 10 µg/kg/dose BC expansion cohorts. No Grade (G) 4/5 tx-emergent adverse events (AEs) or DLTs occurred. Tx-related AEs occurred in 17 (52%) pts, most commonly G1/2 fatigue (8/24%). 3 pts had G1 troponin elevations without clinical signs or symptoms of cardiac distress: 1 at 6.75 µg/kg/dose, 2 at 10 µg/kg/dose. 2 pts (3 and 4.5 µg/kg/dose) had reversible G2 and G1, respectively, infusion-related reactions (IRR)s. A comparison of cytokines from baseline to on-treatment timepoints reveals no evidence of significant changes, even in pts with IRR. Best response per RECIST thus far was stable disease (SD) in 7 pts or non-CR/non-PD in 2 pts: 1 pt had SD for 12 weeks (wks) (4.5 μg/kg, pancreatic CA); 1 pt (1 μg/kg/dose, BC) had non-CR/non-PD for 30 wks; 1 pt (10 μg/kg/dose, GEA) has ongoing SD for 18 wks. AUClast data match PK simulations in non-human primate studies. Cmax at 10 µg/kg/dose is ≥5 times the IC50 values of high HER2 expressing gastric CA and BC cell lines while approaching the IC50 of a moderately HER2 expressing liver CA cell line. Conclusions: MT-5111 is well tolerated to-date with no clinically significant immuno/cardiotoxicity. Dose escalation is ongoing at a dose of 13µg/kg, expected to be required for efficacious exposure.
