Abstract Purpose: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1/2–isoform inhibitors have clinical efficacy in IDH1/IDH2-mutated neoplasms. However, primary resistance and secondary resistance limit their therapeutic potential. LY3410738, an oral, brain-penetrant, dual IDH1/IDH2-mutated isoform-selective inhibitor, was designed to overcome resistance. Patients and Methods: This global, multicenter, open-label, phase I study of patients with IDH-mutant solid tumors evaluated LY3410738 as monotherapy (dose escalation) for advanced solid tumors in combination with cisplatin–gemcitabine (CISGEM) for newly diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma or with durvalumab for relapsed/refractory cholangiocarcinoma (dose expansion; NCT04521686). Primary objectives were the maximum tolerated dose, recommended phase II dose, and preliminary antitumor activity. Safety, pharmacokinetics, inhibition of D-2-hydroxyglutarate, and ctDNA were assessed. Results: Overall, 119 patients received LY3410738 alone (N = 94) or in combination with CISGEM (N = 19) or durvalumab (N = 6). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed; the maximum tolerated dose was not determined. Common adverse events included nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. Overall response rates of 5.2% and 11.1% and disease control rates of 56.9% and 63.0% were observed for patients with relapsed/refractory IDH1- or IDH2-mutant cholangiocarcinoma or IDH1-mutant glioma, respectively. D-2-hydroxyglutarate normalization was rapid and durable. In dose-expansion cohorts, combination treatments were tolerable, with one dose-limiting toxicity in the durvalumab cohort. LY3410738 plus CISGEM demonstrated a response rate of 42.1%, a median duration of response of 8.1 months, and a median progression-free survival of 10.2 months for patients with newly diagnosed IDH-mutant cholangiocarcinoma. Conclusions: LY3410738 demonstrated largely cytostatic antitumor activity in IDH1- or IDH2-mutated cholangiocarcinoma and IDH1-mutated gliomas. LY3410738 plus CISGEM exhibited favorable antitumor activity in patients with treatment-naïve IDH-mutated cholangiocarcinoma, warranting further exploration as a treatment strategy.

The NCCN Guidelines for Biliary Tract Cancers (BTCs) provide recommendations for the evaluation and comprehensive care of patients with gallbladder cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The multidisciplinary panel of experts is convened at least once annually to review requests from internal and external entities as well as to evaluate new data on current and emerging therapies. This manuscript focuses on the adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiation treatment options for BTCs as well as the systemic treatment recommendations for patients with advanced BTCs.

In 2023, the NCCN Guidelines for Hepatobiliary Cancers were divided into 2 separate guidelines: Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Biliary Tract Cancers. The NCCN Guidelines for Biliary Tract Cancers provide recommendations for the evaluation and comprehensive care of patients with gallbladder cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The multidisciplinary panel of experts meets at least on an annual basis to review requests from internal and external entities as well as to evaluate new data on current and emerging therapies. These Guidelines Insights focus on some of the recent updates to the NCCN Guidelines for Biliary Tract Cancers as well as the newly published section on principles of molecular testing.

Abstract Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/2) is mutated in a subset of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), gliomas, and other solid tumors. LY3410738 is a potent, selective, covalent, dual inhibitor of IDH1/2 mutations (IDH1/2m). LY3410738 binds covalently at a novel binding site, enabling continued potency in preclinical models in the setting of second site IDH resistance mutations. We present initial results from the first-in-human phase 1 study of oral LY3410738 in patients (pts) with IDH1/2m CCA, and IDH1m glioma or other solid tumors. Methods: Dose escalation (3+3 design) evaluated LY3410738 monotherapy in advanced IDHm CCA and other solid tumors (NCT04521686). Key objectives included determining the RP2D, safety, PK, PD (inhibition of plasma D-2-HG), and preliminary antitumor activity. Results: As of 28 July 2022, 80 pts including 42 with CCA (33 IDH1m, 9 IDH2m), 27 with glioma (IDH1m), and 11 other tumor types (IDH1m) received LY3410738 dosed at 25-600 mg QD or 300 mg BID. Pts were median 52 years of age (range, 23-80) with a median of 2 prior therapies (range, 1-7). 19% of CCA pts had received prior IDH1 inhibitor. Median time on treatment was 3.7 months (range, 0.1-19). No DLTs or treatment related deaths were observed; the MTD was not reached. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) ≥15% included nausea (35%), vomiting (21%), and decreased appetite (19%) and were mostly grade 1-2. Most frequent grade ≥3 TEAEs >2% were anemia (4%), cholangitis (3%), headache (3%), decreased lymphocyte count (3%), and hyponatremia (3%). LY3410738 exposure was dose proportional. In pts with IDH1m cancers, LY3410738 achieved sustained D-2-HG inhibition at all dose levels, including in pts who received prior IDH1 inhibitor. In pts with IDH2m cancers, a higher dose (≥150 mg daily dose) was required for D-2-HG inhibition. Among the 42 pts with R/R CCA, the best response included 1 PR and 22 SD. Of the 22 glioma pts with contrast enhancing tumors, best response included 3 PR and 9 SD. Conclusions: LY3410738 demonstrated a favorable safety profile with potent and sustained D-2-HG inhibition in pts with IDH1/2m advanced solid tumors. Consistent with the expectations for IDH inhibitor monotherapy in this setting, CCA and glioma pts exhibited prolonged stable disease. RP2D evaluation is ongoing. Updated data on LY3410738 monotherapy will be presented at the meeting.

TPS350 Background: Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) are found in approximately 20-30% of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), and less commonly in glioma, chondrosarcoma, and other gastrointestinal malignancies. Despite documented clinical activity of mIDH1 inhibition in solid tumors, there are no approved targeted therapies for this patient population. LY3410738 is a potent, selective, and covalent inhibitor of mIDH1 R132. LY3410738 is differentiated from prior mIDH1 inhibitors by 1) its unique covalent binding mode, 2) its increased potency, and 3) its unique binding site outside of the dimer interface, which enables activity in the setting of known common second-site IDH1 mutations. Methods: This is an open-label, multicenter, global phase 1 study with oral LY3410738 currently enrolling patients with advanced CCA and other solid tumor types (NCT04521686). A dose escalation cohort will be followed with 4 exploratory expansion cohorts. The primary objective for dose escalation is determination of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). The primary objective for dose expansion is to assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity by ORR of LY3410738 when administered alone or in combination with cisplatin plus gemcitabine. Secondary objectives include evaluating safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, progression free survival, and overall survival. Key inclusion criteria include any solid tumor with the presence of mIDH1 R132, ECOG performance status ≤1, and adequate organ function. Any prior treatment including an IDH1 inhibitor is allowed in the dose escalation cohort. Exclusion criteria include presence of active central nervous system metastases, leptomeningeal disease, and active or uncontrolled infection. CCA patients must not have had locoregional therapy within 4 weeks prior to the initial study dose, history of hepatic encephalopathy or refractory ascites, ongoing cholangitis, or mixed hepatocellular-CCA histology. Dose escalation will follow a 3+3 design and will allow patient back-fill to dose levels previously cleared for safety. Each cycle will be 28 days (4 weeks). Once the RP2D is determined, LY3410738 will be evaluated as monotherapy in expansion cohorts 1-3, and in combination with cisplatin plus gemcitabine in expansion cohort 4. Cohort 1 will enroll CCA patients with measurable disease who have received prior chemotherapy. Cohort 2 will enroll patients with advanced solid tumors except CCA who have measurable disease and received standard therapies. Cohort 3 will enroll patients with advanced solid tumors who have non-measurable disease and received standard therapies. Cohort 4 will enroll CCA patients with measurable disease who are treatment naïve for advanced disease. Clinical trial information: NCT04521686.
