TPS611 Background: GPC3 is an oncofetal protein expressed in up to 75% of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and associated with poor prognosis. Its selective expression in tumor and not in normal tissue makes it a promising target for radiopharmaceutical imaging and therapy (theranostics). The GPC3-selective diagnostic RYZ811 ([ 68 Ga]Ga-RAYZ-8009) and therapeutic α particle-emitting RYZ801 ([ 225 Ac]Ac-RAYZ-8009) are a theranostic pair. Previous studies show high uptake of RYZ811 in intrahepatic and extrahepatic HCCs, with low normal liver background uptake. In GPC3+ HCC mouse models, single administrations of RYZ801 significantly inhibited tumor growth. Methods: RYZ801-101 is a single-arm, open-label, phase 1/1b study of RYZ811 and RYZ801 in previously treated patients with GPC3+ unresectable HCC. The study has two parts: dose escalation (part 1) and dose expansion (part 2). Each part consists of two stages: RYZ811 imaging and RYZ801 treatment. The aim of imaging is to determine if RYZ811 safely and adequately identifies patients with GPC3+ tumors. The aim of treatment is to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D; part 1), and preliminary antitumor activity (part 2) of RYZ801. Key eligibility criteria are: confirmed HCC; Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B or C; Child-Pugh A; ≥1 RECIST v1.1-measurable lesion (treatment stage); and disease progression after ≥1 systemic therapy in part 1 and 1 prior line in part 2. In part 1, approximately 60 patients will receive RYZ811 (185 MBq) in the imaging stage; up to 30 of these will receive escalating doses of RYZ801 (2.6–5.5 MBq × 4 doses) in the treatment stage. In part 2, approximately 80 patients will receive RYZ811 (185 MBq) in the imaging stage; up to 40 of these will receive RYZ801 at the RP2D in the treatment stage. Primary RYZ811 objectives are to assess the safety/tolerability and biodistribution of RYZ811. Secondary objectives are to determine absorbed doses (ADs) to organs and tissues and any association between RYZ811 uptake and RYZ801 efficacy. Primary RYZ801 objectives are to identify the RP2D and safety/tolerability of RYZ801. Secondary objectives are to assess PK, ADs to critical organs and tumors, and preliminary antitumor activity. Enrollment for Part 1 is ongoing in the USA. Clinical trial information: NCT06726161 .

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.

TPS4199 Background: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a rare but aggressive heterogenous group of gastrointestinal cancers that arise from the intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma [CCA]) or the gallbladder (GBC). In early-stage disease following curative resection, adjuvant chemotherapy with a fluoropyrimidine- or gemcitabine-based regimen is usually recommended, however, recurrence rates remain high (e.g. in the BILCAP study, 5-year recurrence-free survival with adjuvant capecitabine was 34%). Immunotherapy is efficacious as adjuvant therapy in other cancer types. Results from the TOPAZ-1 and KEYNOTE-966 studies support combining immunotherapy and chemotherapy in advanced BTC, including in locally advanced non-metastatic disease. Furthermore, dual inhibition of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and the novel immune checkpoint, T cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT), has shown promising results across multiple tumor types without major increases in high-grade toxicity compared with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibition alone. Rilvegostomig is an anti-PD-1/-TIGIT bi-specific monoclonal antibody that appears active and well tolerated in non-small-cell lung cancer. ARTEMIDE-Biliary01 will investigate the efficacy of rilvegostomig plus standard of care adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with BTC after curative intent resection. Methods: ARTEMIDE-Biliary01 (NCT06109779) is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, global study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of rilvegostomig IV every three weeks versus placebo in combination with investigator's choice of chemotherapy (capecitabine, S-1 [tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil] or gemcitabine/cisplatin) as adjuvant treatment in patients with BTC after curative intent resection. This study will enroll approximately 750 adults with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract (intrahepatic or extrahepatic CCA or muscle-invasive GBC) after macroscopically complete resection (R0 or R1) and an ECOG PS of 0–1. Key exclusion criteria include locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic disease at initial diagnosis and any anti-cancer therapy for BTC prior to surgery. The primary endpoint is recurrence-free survival, and the key secondary endpoint is overall survival. Additional endpoints include progression-free survival following recurrence, patient-reported tolerability, and safety. Enrollment has begun, and approximately 200 sites will be recruiting globally across Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Clinical trial information: NCT06109779 .

Abstract Purpose: Despite efficacy of approved FGFR inhibitors, emergence of polyclonal secondary mutations in the FGFR kinase domain leads to acquired resistance. KIN-3248 is a selective, irreversible, orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitor of FGFR1-4 that blocks both primary oncogenic and secondary kinase domain resistance FGFR alterations. Experimental Design: A first-in-human, phase I study of KIN-3248 was conducted in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring FGFR2 and/or FGFR3 gene alterations (NCT05242822). The primary objective was determination of MTD/recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Secondary and exploratory objectives included antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and molecular response by circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) clearance. Results: Fifty-four patients received doses ranging from 5 to 50 mg orally daily across six cohorts. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (48.1%), gastric (9.3%), and urothelial (7.4%) were the most common tumors. Tumors harbored FGFR2 (68.5%) or FGFR3 (31.5%) alterations—23 (42.6%) received prior FGFR inhibitors. One dose-limiting toxicity (hypersensitivity) occurred in cohort 1 (5 mg). Treatment-related, adverse events included hyperphosphatemia, diarrhea, and stomatitis. The MTD/RP2D was not established. Exposure was dose proportional and concordant with hyperphosphatemia. Five partial responses were observed; 4 in FGFR inhibitor naïve and 1 in FGFR pretreated patients. Pretreatment ctDNA profiling confirmed FGFR2/3 alterations in 63.3% of cases and clearance at cycle 2 associated with radiographic response. Conclusion: The trial was terminated early for commercial considerations; therefore, RP2D was not established. Preliminary clinical data suggest that KIN-3248 is a safe, oral FGFR1-4 inhibitor with favorable pharmacokinetic parameters, though further dose escalation was required to nominate the MTD/RP2D. Significance: KIN-3248 was a rationally designed, next generation selective FGFR inhibitor, that was effective in interfering with both FGFR wild-type and mutant signaling. Clinical data indicate that KIN-3248 is safe with a signal of antitumor activity. Translational science support the mechanism of action in that serum phosphate was proportional with exposure, paired biopsies suggested phospho-ERK inhibition (a downstream target of FGFR2/3), and ctDNA clearance may act as a RECIST response surrogate.

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.

4079 Background: HER2 mutations are infrequent genomic events in biliary tract cancers (BTCs) and are associated with poor overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic disease. HER2 overexpression is associated with an increased risk of disease recurrence in patients with resected BTC. There is limited data on targeting HER2 in BTC harboring activating somatic HER2 mutations. Neratinib, an irreversible, pan-HER, oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, interferes with constitutive receptor kinase activation and has demonstrated activity in several HER2-mutant solid tumors. Methods: SUMMIT is an open-label, single-arm, multi-cohort, phase 2, ‘basket’ trial of neratinib in patients with solid tumors harboring oncogenic HER2 somatic mutations. The primary objective of the BTC cohort was to estimate objective response rate (ORR). Secondary objectives were clinical benefit rate (CBR), progression-free survival (PFS), OS, response duration, safety, and tolerability. Retrospective central confirmation of locally reported HER2 mutation (next-generation sequencing on archival or fresh tumor tissue using MSK-IMPACT or in cfDNA extracted from plasma by MSK-ACCESS) and association with outcome was an exploratory endpoint. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01953926). Results: 25 treatment-refractory patients with metastatic BTC were enrolled (11 cholangiocarcinoma, 10 gallbladder, 4 ampullary cancers). ORR was 16% (95% CI 4.5–36.1%) and CBR was 28% (95% CI 12.1–49.4%). Median PFS and OS were 2.8 (95% CI 1.1–3.7) and 5.4 (95% CI 3.7–11.7) months, respectively. Median PFS for the gallbladder, cholangiocarcinoma and ampulla cohorts was 3.7 (95% CI 0.8–6.4), 1.4 (95% CI 0.5–9.1), and 1.1 (95% CI 1.1–3.8) months, respectively. Corresponding median OS values in these cohorts were 9.8 (95% CI 2.4–NE), 5.4 (95% CI 0.8–16.2), and 5.0 (95% CI 3.7–10.2) months, respectively. Central mutation confirmation was feasible for 23 of 25 patients; 22 were concordant with enrolment assays. The most common HER2 mutations were S310F (n = 11; 48%) and V777L (n = 4; 17%). Exploratory analyses suggested worse outcomes for HER2-mutant tumors with co-occurring oncogenic TP53 and CDKN2A alterations. Loss of amplified HER2 S310F and acquisition of multiple previously undetected oncogenic co-mutations were identified at progression in one of four responders. Diarrhea (56% any grade) was the most common toxicity. Conclusions: Neratinib is tolerable with modest antitumor activity in patients with BTC harboring HER2 mutations. Although the primary endpoint was met, future studies should evaluate rational combinations to augment and/or prolong responses. Clinical trial information: NCT01953926.

Abstract HER2 mutations are infrequent genomic events in biliary tract cancers (BTCs). Neratinib, an irreversible, pan-HER, oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, interferes with constitutive receptor kinase activation and has activity in HER2-mutant tumours. SUMMIT is an open-label, single-arm, multi-cohort, phase 2, ‘basket’ trial of neratinib in patients with solid tumours harbouring oncogenic HER2 somatic mutations (NCT01953926). The primary objective of the BTC cohort was objective response rate (ORR). Among 25 treatment-refractory patients (11 cholangiocarcinoma, 10 gallbladder, 4 ampullary cancers), the ORR was 16%. The most common HER2 mutations were S310F (n = 11; 48%) and V777L (n = 4; 17%). Outcomes appeared worse for ampullary tumours or those with co-occurring oncogenic TP53 and CDKN2A alterations. Loss of amplified HER2 S310F and acquisition of multiple previously undetected oncogenic co-mutations were identified at progression in one responder. Neratinib demonstrated anti-tumour activity in patients with refractory BTC harbouring HER2 mutations. Future studies of rational combinations are warranted.

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.

320 Background: Genomic profiling studies have reported somatic HER2 mutations in ~2–5% of biliary tract cancers (BTC). Clinical data from the SUMMIT study demonstrate that neratinib, a pan-HER irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has encouraging clinical activity in multiple types of HER2-mutant solid tumor malignancies. Methods: SUMMIT is a multi-histology, open-label, phase II ‘basket’ study of neratinib in patients with somatic HER2 mutations (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01953926). Patients with activating somatic HER2 mutations with different histologies, including BTC, received neratinib monotherapy (240 mg oral daily). Loperamide prophylaxis was mandatory during cycle 1. Efficacy endpoints: objective response rate (ORR, RECIST v1.1); clinical benefit rate (CBR); duration of response; progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse events (AEs) were assessed by CTCAE v4.0. Genomic profiling from fresh/archival tumor tissues and/or plasma cfDNA was performed retrospectively by next-generation sequencing (MSK-IMPACT). Results: As of 3-Sep-2020, 25 patients with HER2-mutant BTC were enrolled: gallbladder (40%); intrahepatic (24%); extrahepatic (20%); ampulla of Vater (16%). 68% of patients received ≥2 systemic regimens (96% received prior gemcitabine-based regimens). The S310F/Y variant accounted for nearly half of HER2 mutations (n=11). Other HER2 mutations: V777L (n=5); L755S (n=2); V842I (n=2); R678Q (n=2). Confirmed ORR in 25 evaluable patients was 12% (95% CI 3–31%) and CBR was 20% (95% CI 7–41%), including 3 confirmed PRs and 2 patients with SD for ≥16 weeks. Tumor shrinkage was observed in multiple HER2-activating mutations and enriched in gallbladder and extrahepatic subtypes of BTC. Median PFS was 2.8 (95% CI 1.1–3.7) months; median overall survival (OS) was 5.4 (95% CI 3.7–11.7) months. Nine (36%) patients (3 of whom with ECOG PS 2) came off study within 28 (range 6–47) days of treatment due to clinical deterioration (unrelated to study drug) followed by death. The most common treatment-related AEs (any grade) were diarrhea (56%) and vomiting (48%). Diarrhea was the most common Grade 3 event (24%); 4 patients (16%) required a neratinib dose reduction; no patients discontinued treatment due to diarrhea. Conclusions: Neratinib is safe and tolerable in patients with advanced BTC patients and somatic HER2 mutations. The antitumor activity of neratinib appears comparable to current standards of care, with similar PFS and OS in heavily pretreated patients. Analysis of co-occurring oncogenic mutations and response is ongoing, and consideration is being given to neratinib-based combination regimens to further improve outcomes in this setting.
