TPS3164 Background: TUB-030 is a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting 5T4, an oncofetal antigen expressed in various solid tumors with limited expression in healthy tissues. TUB-030 leverages optimized biophysical properties, an effector-silenced antibody, and an exatecan payload to maximize the therapeutic index and minimize off-target toxicities. Preclinical studies demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity, including long-lasting tumor regression at doses as low as 1 mg/kg and durable responses even in tumors with low 5T4 expression. Methods: 5-STAR 1-01 is a multicenter, first-in-human dose escalation and dose optimization Phase I/IIa clinical trial designed to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of the anti-5T4 ADC TUB-030 in patients with advanced and metastatic solid tumors. Eligible patients have one of the following tumor types: head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, triple-negative breast cancer, HR+/HER2- breast cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, osteosarcoma, or soft tissue sarcomas and must have exhausted available standard-of-care therapies. Phase I is an open-label, single-arm dose escalation trial, with administration every 21 days. Dose escalation follows an accelerated titration design (ATD) transitioning to Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) upon predefined toxicity thresholds. Backfill cohorts are planned in NSCLC and HNSCC to further evaluate the safety and efficacy profile at, or near, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Primary endpoints include safety and tolerability of TUB-030 as monotherapy, determination of the MTD and the recommended phase II doses; secondary endpoints assess pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical activity using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Exploratory endpoints include analysis of circulating tumor DNA. In phase IIa, dose-optimization will evaluate two dose levels in select indications in order to identify the optimal dose for further development. Enrollment of approximately 130 patients across the US and Canada is planned, with dose escalation currently underway. This study investigates TUB-030, a novel 5T4 targeted ADC as a therapy for advanced/metastatic solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT06657222 .

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.

Abstract Purpose: Romidepsin dosing recommendations for patients with malignancy and varying degrees of hepatic dysfunction was lacking at the time of regulatory approval for T-cell lymphoma. We conducted a multicenter phase I clinical trial (ETCTN-9008) via the NCI Organ Dysfunction Working Group to investigate safety, first cycle MTD, and pharmacokinetic profile of romidepsin in this setting. Patients and Methods: Patients with select advanced solid tumors or hematologic malignancies were stratified according to hepatic function. Romidepsin was administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle and escalation followed a 3 + 3 design in moderate and severe impairment cohorts. Blood samples for detailed pharmacokinetic analyses were collected after the first dose. Results: Thirty-one patients received one dose of romidepsin and were evaluable for pharmacokinetic analyses in normal (n = 12), mild (n = 8), moderate (n = 5), and severe (n = 6) cohorts. Adverse events across cohorts were similar, and dose-limiting toxicity occurred in two patients (mild and severe impairment cohorts). The MTD was not determined because the geometric mean AUC values of romidepsin in moderate (7 mg/m2) and severe (5 mg/m2) impairment cohort were 114% and 116% of the normal cohort (14 mg/m2). Conclusions: Data from the ETCTN-9008 trial led to changes in the romidepsin labeling to reflect starting dose adjustment for patients with cancer and moderate and severe hepatic impairment, with no adjustment for mild hepatic impairment.

3027 Background: Two rational strategies to interrogate the IGF-1R pathway were investigated in this parallel-arm phase I trial: 1) vertical inhibition with D and MK-2206 to potentiate PI3K pathway targeting, 2) horizontal crosstalk inhibition with D and MK-0752 to exert effects against cellular proliferation, angiogenesis and stem cell propagation. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors and no prior exposure to agents of the same targets were eligible. Dose escalation was based on a modified toxicity probability interval method (Ji et al, 2010). Arm A is comprised of fixed D dose of 10 mg/m2 IV weekly plus MK-2206 at escalating doses of 90-200 mg PO weekly. Arm B is comprised of fixed MK-0752 dose of 1800 mg PO weekly plus D at escalating doses of 7.5-10 mg/m2 IV weekly. Each cycle = 4 weeks in both arms. Primary objectives were to determine DLT and RP2D of these combinations. Results: 30 patients were enrolled in the dose escalation phase (18 in Arm A and 12 in Arm B) with: median age = 56 (range 36-74); M:F = 13:17; ECOG 0:1 = 12:18; primary diagnosis = colorectal (CRC) (9), NSCLC (3), others (17); prior metastatic regimens = 3 (range 1-4). In Arm A, 1/6 DLT was observed with MK-2206 at 135 mg (G3 serum sickness-like reaction); 2/3 DLTs with MK-2206 at 200 mg (G4 leukopenia/neutropenia; G3 rash). No other G4 or worse adverse events (AEs) were observed. RP2D of Arm A = D 10mg/m2 IV weekly and MK-2206 150 mg PO weekly. Other common AEs in Arm A included: fatigue, rash and nausea. In Arm B, 2/6 DLTs were observed with D at 10 mg/m2 (G3 rash; G3 nausea/vomiting). RP2D of Arm B = D 10mg/m2 IV weekly and MK-0752 at 1800 mg PO weekly based on Ji et al. Other common AEs in Arm B included: anorexia, nausea and fatigue. No PR was observed and SD > 4 months occurred in 4 pts (all in Arm A). PK analyses are ongoing. Conclusions: Targeted combinations of D with MK-2206 or with MK-0752 were both tolerable. Expansion cohorts based on biomarker selection are underway, specifically ovarian cancer with high IGF1 expression/low RAS score for Arm A; and KRAS wild-type CRC with high IGF1/low IGF2 expression for Arm B.

Abstract Background: The hedgehog pathway is dysregulated in basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, pancreatic, lung, gastric, and a variety of other cancers. BMS-833923 is a potent, oral, small molecule antagonist of hedgehog signaling. Methods: Subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors were enrolled into a multiple ascending dose study to identify a maximum tolerated dose and evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of BMS-833923. All subjects receive a single dose one week prior to continuous daily dosing. The single dose window allows for single dose PK collection for one week. To identify the pharmacologically active dose range surrogate tissue was collected prior to Day 1 and again on Day 22 of the first cycle. Results: As of August 14, 2009 sixteen subjects have been treated at four dose levels: 30 mg (n=5), 60 mg (n=3), 120 mg (n=3), and 240 mg (n=5); with mean patient age of 56 (range 21–78) and ECOG performance 0–1. No subjects in the first three dose cohorts experienced drug-related CTCAE AEs greater than Grade 2. One subject with medulloblastoma in the 30 mg dose cohort continues on study for more than 10 months with stable disease. Treatment of patients in the fourth cohort at 240 mg continuous daily dosing is still on-going. In this cohort one subject experienced drug-related CTCAE Grade 2 lipase elevation and pancreatitis that quickly resolved when drug was withheld. This subject has a diagnosis of Gorlin Syndrome, which is caused by germline mutations in the hedgehog pathway genes Patched or Smoothened. This subject experienced a partial response (PR) that is still ongoing. BMS-833923 PK properties showed dose proportionality between the 30, 60, and 120 mg dose cohorts with a Cmax of 30 ng/ml, 56 ng/ml and 102 ng/ml respectively. The terminal half-life was greater than 7 days and drug accumulations were observed. Conclusion: BMS-833923 is generally well tolerated at daily doses of 30, 60, 120 mg.
