STELLA: A dose expansion of the ATR kinase inhibitor alnodesertib (ART0380) administered orally in combination with low-dose irinotecan to patients with advanced or metastatic CRC and PDAC.
TPS3184 Background: Replication stress (RS) creates cancer cell vulnerability to which the critical DNA damage response kinase, ATR (Ataxia-Telangiectasia and Rad3-related) responds. ATR senses the stress, halts the cell cycle, and promotes DNA repair to allow proliferation. Alnodesertib is an ATR inhibitor developed to prevent cancer cells from successfully repairing RS and proliferating further. In earlier stages of alnodesertib development, preclinical and translational research demonstrated that tumor cells experience three combined biological insults: irinotecan-induced RS, endogenous RS via ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) loss, and RS rescue prevention by ATR inhibition. Data from the dose escalation and initial dose expansion cohorts of this trial in a tumor agnostic population showed encouraging results in ATM-negative cancers (confirmed Overall Response Rate of 50% in 20 patients with ATM negative cancers and responses across 8 cancer types including complete responses, Ulahannan et al, AACR 2025). Tumor-specific dose expansion cohorts are now enrolling, including colorectal cancer (CRC) and pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods: Two tumor-specific cohorts are now open, each enrolling approximately 50 patients (pts): ATM-negative CRC and ATM-negative PDAC. Pts will receive the recommended dose of alnodesertib 200mg orally on days 1-3 and 8-10 combined with low-dose irinotecan 60mg/m 2 IV on days 1 and 8, of each 21-day cycle. Tumor tissue is prescreened by immunohistochemistry for ATM protein loss (H score 0) for enrollment eligibility. Pts with CRC must have received a maximum of 2 prior chemotherapies excluding prior trifluridine/tipiracil, fruquintinib, or regorafenib, and pts with PDAC must have received a maximum of 1 prior chemotherapy for advanced disease. Prior targeted agents are allowed and do not count as prior lines of therapy. Key objectives include safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy. Clinical trial information: NCT04657068 .
Interim update of the ATRC-101 phase 1b trial in advanced solid tumors.
2505 Background: ATRC-101 monoclonal antibody targets tumor-specific ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) and elicits anti-tumor immunity, innate and adaptive, in preclinical models. Methods: Phase 1b is evaluating ATRC-101 as monotherapy, every 3 (3M) or 2 (2M) weeks (wk), and ATRC-101 in combination with pembrolizumab (3P) in participants (pts) with advanced solid tumors. ATRC-101 target expression is determined by CAP-CLIA IHC assay. For pts described herein, pre-treatment (tx) tumor biopsies were assessed for target expression by IHC retrospectively or prospectively. Enrollment in 3M and 3P is currently open to pts who are target positive (RNP+ve) by IHC with an H-score ≥ 50. Objectives are safety (primary), PK, immunogenicity, recommended dose for expansion, activity by RECIST1.1 and biomarker analyses in pre-tx and on-tx tumors. Results: As of Nov 18th, 2022, 67 pts received ≥1 dose of ATRC-101 (median prior tx 5, range 1-12). Tumor types were colorectal (CRC, 28), ovarian (10), breast (9), melanoma (8), non-small cell lung (NSCLC, 6), head and neck squamous cell (3), urothelial (1), esophageal (1) and small bowel (1). Tx emergent adverse events (TEAEs) Grade ≥3 occurred in 22 (33%) pts and were related to ATRC-101 in 2 (3%). No tx discontinuations or dose reductions related to ATRC-101. RECIST1.1 best overall responses in efficacy evaluable 61 pts included 1 complete response (CR) in RNP+ve melanoma (3P, 10mg/kg), and 1 partial response (PR) in RNP+ve NSCLC (3M, 30mg/kg). Further, disease stabilized (SD) in 24 pts (39%) and 35 pts had disease progression (PD, 57%) with evidence of association between anti-tumor activity and target expression. Of 24 SD, 22 were in monotherapy cohorts and included 9 CRC pts with highly refractory disease. Conclusions: ATRC-101 alone and in combination with pembrolizumab continues to be well tolerated with evidence of anti-tumor activity. Interim data support ongoing enrollment of pts with RNP+ve pre-tx tumors. Updated and new data including durability of disease control will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT04244552 .

717 Interim clinical update of the phase 1b trial of ATRC-101 as monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab for select advanced solid tumors
Abstract CT167: First-in-human clinical trial of SC-006, a RNF43 targeted antibody-drug conjugate, as a monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab in patients with advanced colorectal cancer
Abstract Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the United States. Aberrant activation of the Wnt signaling pathway is associated with CRC progression. Ring finger protein 43 (RNF43) is a single-pass type 1 transmembrane protein and a key feedback regulator of Wnt. SC-006 is a RNF43 targeted antibody drug conjugate, linked to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer DNA crosslinking agent. Budigalimab (ABBV-181) is a PD-1 targeting, humanized, recombinant immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody with Fc mutations (L234A, L235A) shown to reduce Fc receptor interactions and limit effector function. This open-label, Phase 1 clinical trial assessed the safety and efficacy of SC-006 as monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab in patients with CRC (NCT03035279). Methods: Evaluable patients had histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced metastatic or unresectable CRC. The trial consisted of 2 parts: part A (SC-006-monotherapy, 2 to 12 µg/kg, IV) and part B (SC-006 in combination with budigalimab at a fixed dose of 375 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks [Q3W]). Efficacy was assessed per RECIST 1.1 by radiographic assessments. Results: As of April 2019, 29 patients were enrolled (n=20 in part A and n=9 in part B). All patients experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). The most common TEAEs (>20% of patients) are summarized in Table 1. Two patients (7%) had dose-limiting toxicities of grade 4 thrombocytopenia. All 29 patients discontinued from the study, with study drug being discontinued for 76% of patients due to progressive disease. One death occurred in part A due to gastrointestinal hemorrhage with possible relation to SC-006. Serious TEAEs occurred in 8 patients (28%); these included thrombocytopenia and malignant neoplasm progression in 2 patients (7%) each. Progressive disease occurred in 18 patients (62%), stable disease was reported in 10 patients (34%) and the response for 1 patient was not reported. Conclusion: SC-006 dose escalation was limited by thrombocytopenia observed below the predicted efficacious dose, leading to study termination.
