PURPOSE Adagrasib, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, has demonstrated clinical activity in patients with KRAS G12C -mutated non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). KRAS G12C mutations occur rarely in other solid tumor types. We report evaluation of the clinical activity and safety of adagrasib in patients with other solid tumors harboring a KRAS G12C mutation. METHODS In this phase II cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03785249 ; phase Ib cohort), we evaluated adagrasib (600 mg orally twice daily) in patients with KRAS G12C -mutated advanced solid tumors (excluding NSCLC and CRC). The primary end point was objective response rate. Secondary end points included duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, and safety. RESULTS As of October 1, 2022, 64 patients with KRAS G12C -mutated solid tumors were enrolled and 63 patients treated (median follow-up, 16.8 months). The median number of prior lines of systemic therapy was 2. Among 57 patients with measurable disease at baseline, objective responses were observed in 20 (35.1%) patients (all partial responses), including 7/21 (33.3%) responses in pancreatic and 5/12 (41.7%) in biliary tract cancers. The median duration of response was 5.3 months (95% CI, 2.8 to 7.3) and median PFS was 7.4 months (95% CI, 5.3 to 8.6). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade were observed in 96.8% of patients and grade 3-4 in 27.0%; there were no grade 5 TRAEs. TRAEs did not lead to treatment discontinuation in any patients. CONCLUSION Adagrasib demonstrates encouraging clinical activity and is well tolerated in this rare cohort of pretreated patients with KRAS G12C -mutated solid tumors.

425082 Background: KRAS, a mediator of signalling pathways essential for cellular growth, proliferation, and survival, is the most frequently mutated oncogene in cancer. Notably, KRAS mutations occur in ~90% of pancreatic cancers, of which ~2% are KRASG12C mutations. Other gastrointestinal (GI) tumors also harbor KRASG12C mutations, such as biliary tract cancer (BTC; 1%) and appendiceal cancer (3–4%), and they are also seen in non-GI tumors, such as endometrial and ovarian cancer (1–2%). Adagrasib, a covalent KRASG12C inhibitor that irreversibly and selectively binds KRASG12C in its inactive state, was selected for favorable properties, including long half-life (23 h), dose-dependent pharmacokinetics, and central nervous system penetration. Methods: KRYSTAL-1 is a multicohort phase 1/2 study (NCT03785249) evaluating adagrasib in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors harboring a KRASG12C mutation. Here we report data from a phase 2 cohort evaluating adagrasib monotherapy administered orally at 600 mg BID in pts with unresectable or metastatic KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors (excluding non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer), including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), BTC, other GI, and non-GI tumors. Study objectives include evaluation of clinical activity (ORR, DCR, DOR, PFS, OS) and safety. Results: As of October 1, 2022, 64 pts with KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors were enrolled and 63 were treated with adagrasib (median follow-up, 16.8 months); of these, 21 pts had PDAC, 12 BTC, 16 other GI tumors (9 appendiceal, 4 gastro-esophageal junction/esophageal, 3 small bowel), and 14 non-GI tumors (5 ovarian, 4 unknown primary, 3 endometrial, 1 breast, 1 glioblastoma). Overall, median age was 65 years, 61% had ECOG PS 1, and median prior lines of systemic therapy was 2. Among 57 pts with measurable disease (blinded independent central review), ORR was 35.1% (20/57; all partial responses); DCR was 86.0% (49/57); median DOR was 5.3 months (n=20; 95% CI 2.8–7.3); median PFS was 7.4 months (95% CI 5.3–8.6); and median OS was 14.0 months (n=64; 95% CI 8.5–18.6). Among 21 pts with PDAC, ORR was 33.3% (7/21); DCR was 81.0% (17/21); median PFS was 5.4 months (95% CI 3.9–8.2); and median OS was 8.0 months (95% CI 5.2–11.8). Among 12 pts with BTC, ORR was 41.7% (5/12); DCR was 91.7% (11/12); median PFS was 8.6 months (95% CI 2.7–11.3); and median OS was 15.1 months (95% CI 8.6–not estimable). Overall (n=63), treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade were observed in 96.8% of pts (most commonly [≥20%] nausea [49.2%], diarrhea [47.6%], fatigue [41.3%], vomiting [39.7%]), grade 3 TRAEs in 25.4%, and grade 4 TRAEs in 1.6%. No grade 5 TRAE occurred. Conclusions: Adagrasib is well tolerated and demonstrates promising clinical activity in pretreated pts with PDAC, BTC, and other solid tumors harboring a KRASG12C mutation.

Abstract Background: Bria-IMT (SV-BR-1-GM) is an off-the-shelf whole tumor cell therapeutic vaccine engineered to express class I & class II HLAs, secrete GM-CSF, and function as antigen-presenting cells; with subsequent enhancements improving in-vitro characteristics. By expressing cancer antigens such as HER2/Neu and PRAME, SV-BR-1-GM also serves as the reservoir of cancer antigens to activates patient’s anti-tumor immune responses. The safety and efficacy of the ongoing clinical trial of SV-BR-1-GM in combination with a PD1 inhibitor are reported. We also report post-hoc exploratory data for patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer (aMBC) treated with SV-BR-1-GM regimens. Methods: Ongoing prospective, phase 1-2, with an expansion randomized phase 2 cohort (NCT03328026; 2018-present) using SV-BR-1-GM with a PD1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab or retifanlimab) with cycles every 3 weeks (16 patients dosed to date). SV-BR-1-GM “monotherapy” (NCT03066947; 2013-8), a completed prospective phase 1-2 results are also presented. Results: A total of 51 patients received any SV-BR-1-GM regimen; 27 in monotherapy (SV) and 24 in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor (CO) currently ongoing: 4 subjects from SV continued on with CO. Median prior regimens = 5; 61% ER or PR+; 6% ER or PR-/HER2+ and 29% triple negative. SV-BR-1-GM was well tolerated. Disease control rate was 40% with SV and 41% with CO in subjects with available assessment(s). Median PFS was 2.7 months with 6 having PFS >150 days (150-226) for SV and 2.6 months with 5 > 150 days (188-308) for CO. Per protocol, 23 patients had anergy testing prior to treatment. Among those with a normal immunologic response (n=13, 56%), disease outcomes included 4 SD and 2 PR (46% CBR) vs anergic patients (n=7, 30%) with 1 SD (14% CBR); 3 patients (13%) with unknown anergy testing had 0% CBR. All 7 anergic patients developed delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) injection site responses to SV-BR-1-GM. Subjects with DTH (injection site induration/erythema) had a significant reduction in the risk of progression or death (HR=0.096, 95%CI:0.02-0.50, p<0.05). Subjects with a reduction in circulating tumor cells (CTC) also had an improvement in PFS (HR 0.08, p=.0012). Median OS (uncensored) was 11.2 months in CO (n = 8). 7 out of 20 (35%) for SV and 9 out of 22 subjects (41%) for CO with available data, exceeded prior PFS. Among HLA matched subjects 4/7 (57%) and 6/9 (67%), respectively, had an increase in PFS. PFS ratio improved independent of prior number of lines, HER2 or HR status. The greatest improvement in PFS on a SV-BR-1-GM was in a HLA matched subject (>6mo). TEAEs occurred in 20/24 (83%) of subjects in CO including 9/24 (38%) with injection site AEs. There were no AEs of special interest eg cytokine storm. There were no Grade 5 and only 6 grade 4 AEs in CO. Conclusions: In an ongoing randomized phase 2, anergic patients had worse outcomes. SV-BR-1-GM was able to illicit an immune response regardless. Responses, stable disease and CBR were seen and associated with immune responses including injection site erythema/induration (DTH), CTC changes and tumor grade I/II. Patients with disease control had better quality of life. SV-BR-1-GM may be able to alter an anergic immune system for clinical benefit. Future pivotal trials will be based upon the ongoing confirmatory randomized clinical trial. Citation Format: Saranya Chumsri, Minal Barve, Chaitali Nangia, Bonnie L.

Abstract Background: SV-BR-1-GM is an irradiated allogeneic cell line derived from a hormone receptor-negative (HR-) HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC), now engineered to express HLA class I and II antigens, secrete GM-CSF and function as an antigen-presenting cell. Here we report post-hoc exploratory data for metastatic BC (MBC) patients treated with the SV-BR-1-GM regimen (SV) alone (NCT03066947) and in combination (CO) with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) (NCT03328026). Methods: SV includes cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 i.v. 48-72 hours prior to SV-BR-1-GM (20 × 106 cells) intradermally followed by interferon-alpha-2b at the SV-BR-1-GM inoculation sites on days 2 and 4. SV was given every 2 weeks for 3 cycles and then monthly in NCT03066947, and every 3 weeks in combination with PD-1 inhibitors in NCT03328026. Treatment was continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Results: A total of 34 refractory MBC patients (pts) were treated, including 24 with SV, and 14 with CO, including 4 who crossed over from SV to CO plus one who restarted the SV after a protocol specified administrative interruption in treatment. Median prior regimens were 5; 55% of pts had hormone receptor-positive (HR+) BC, 42% had HER2+ BC, and 16% were triple-negative BC (TNBC). Objective response rates (ORR) were 4% for monotherapy and 7% for combination. Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 21% for monotherapy and 29% for combination. Responses and clinical benefits were seen across most BC subtypes (see table). Notably, CBR among 10 pts with HR+ BC (any HER2) who received the combination was 50% (5/10). The duration of response (DOR) among 4 patients treated with monotherapy was 49-223 days and DOR among 6 patients treated with combination was 72-292 days. Median PFS was 2.8 months for monotherapy and 4.2 months for combination. Median OS was 7.0 months for monotherapy, and 12.0 months for combination. Of 28 pts with available prior treatment data, 12 (43%) had PFS on study treatment exceeded PFS on prior treatment, of these 8/12 had >1 HLA match and 5/8 had ≥ 2 loci HLA-matched with SV-BR-1-GM. PFS ratio improvement was independent of the prior number of lines of therapy or BC subtypes. The SV-BR-1GM regimen was well tolerated with the most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) being injection site reaction in 67%. There was no dose-limiting toxicity, special interest AEs such as cytokine storm, and no grade 5 observed. There were 2 non-treatment-related grade 4 AEs: worsening pleural effusion and altered mental status. Significant improvement in PFS was observed in patients with matched HLA and in association with the delayed-type hypersensitivity skin test, peripheral blood circulating tumor cells, and cancer-associated macrophages. Conclusions: SV-BR-1-GM demonstrated promising activity in patients with MBC. Treatment was well tolerated with no concerning AEs. The PFS ratio compares favorably with prior penultimate standards of care, more notably in patients with matched HLA. Clinical benefits were observed across multiple subtypes of BC, particularly in patients with HR+ disease receiving combination therapy. Phase II clinical trial is currently ongoing to evaluate the efficacy of SV-BR-1-GM in combination with ICIs.

Abstract MT-5111 is a 55kD engineered toxin body 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 works by internalizing, self-routing through intracellular compartments to the cytosol, and inducing potent cell-kill via the enzymatic and permanent inactivation of ribosomes. This is a phase 1 study in adults with advanced HER2+ solid tumors. MT-5111 is dosed weekly IV over 30 min in every 21-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawn consent. The study has dose escalation (Part A) cohorts enrolling patients (pts) with any HER2+ cancer (CA) and expansion (Part B) cohorts for HER2+ breast cancer (BC), Gastric or Gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEA), or other HER2+ solid CA. As of 30 June 2022, 42 total pts had enrolled (36 in Part A on 0.5-23 µg/kg/dose, 6 pts with BC in Part B1 on 10 µg/kg/dose). Median age 65 years, 28 (66.78%) pts were female, median of 4 prior systemic and 2 prior HER2-targeting treatment (tx). 17 pts with BC, 6 with biliary CA, 9 with GEA, and 10 with other solid CA have enrolled. Of the 17 BC pts, 15 received ≥ 10 µg/kg/dose. Tx emergent adverse events (TEAEs) have been reported in 40 (95%) pts, and tx-related AEs (TRAE) occurred in 23 (55%) pts. No pt experienced G4-G5 TRAE. G1 troponin elevations were noted in 5 pts without clinical signs of cardiotoxicity (1 pt 6.75 µg/kg, 2 pts 10 µg/kg, 1 pt 17 µg/kg, 1 pt 23 µg/kg). Reversible G1/G2 infusion-related reactions were reported in 2 pts. Tx-related G1-G3 rash was observed in 5 pts (4 pts ≥ 10 µg/kg/dose); maculopapular in 2 pts, acneiform in 1 pt and associated with pruritus in 3 pts. The G3 rash developed one wk after first dose of 23 µg/kg, was declared a DLT, improved with systemic steroid therapy and the pt continued tx at the same dose without recurrence. Best overall response per RECIST thus far is stable disease (SD) in 17 pts, non-CR/non-PD in 1 pt, and progressive disease (PD) in 14 pts. 1 pt had non-CR/non-PD for 30 wks (1 μg/kg, BC); 1 pt had SD for 24wks (10 μg/kg, pancreatic); 1 pt is on tx with SD through 8 cycles (10 μg/kg, BC). Of the 10 BC pts who received ≥ 10 μg/kg/dose, the best response was 5 SD. The mean serum concentration of MT-5111 has increased in a dose-proportional manner starting at 6.75µg/kg/dose (Table 1). The soluble HER2 (sHER2) levels at end of tx were higher compared to baseline in cohorts that received ≤ 4.5µg/kg/dose, but similar or lower in cohorts that received ≥ 6.75µg/kg/dose. Higher MT-5111 doses have been well tolerated and may saturate circulating sHER2, leading to more predictable serum concentrations and tumor penetration. The Cmax in humans at doses ≥6.75 µg/kg/dose is above the in vitro IC50 for high HER2+ cell lines (0.029nM) and at 17 µg/kg/dose, above the IC50 for moderate HER2+ cells (1.6nM). In conclusion, the dose proportionate increase in serum concentration with levels above the in vitro IC50 and the leveling off/reduction of sHER2 indicate exposure to MT-5111 is at clinically therapeutic levels. Skin toxicity at higher doses may indicate on-target effect as observed in other EGFR-targeted therapies where it is associated with clinical response and a better prognosis. sHER2 biomarker data is expected for all cohorts with PK correlation and 23µg/kg safety and efficacy data.

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. Clinical trial information: NCT04029922.

1504 Background: Trial recruitment that requires specific actionable mutations based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) is challenging. Barriers can include competing studies, physician study awareness, site proximity, mutation incidence, among other concerns. Methods: This study (NCT04432454) opened clinical sites using two methods during the COVID-19 pandemic. The “Traditional” approach included site selection, IRB and contract approval, and trial activation prior to a patient being identified for enrollment. The second approach used the Tempus “TIME” Trials network that would only open a site after identifying a patient with a mutation of interest and eligible for the trial. Results: The first patient enrolled was on 10/12/20 and the last patient was on 6/24/21. A total of 16 sites (6 Traditional and 10 TIME) participated. All Traditional sites, and none of the TIME sites, were affiliated with major academic institutions. Duration for full CTA execution for Traditional sites averaged 200.5 days (range 142 to 257) and for TIME sites averaged 7.6 days (range 2 to 14). IRB approval time average for Traditional sites was 27.5 days (range 12 to 71) and TIME sites was 3.0 days (range 1 to 12 days). Days from site selection to activation letter for Traditional sites was on average 250.0 days (range 187 to 281) and for TIME sites was 131.6 days (range 22 to 248). Time from study activation to first consent was 33.3 days (range 18 to 58) for Traditional sites and 8.8 days (range 1 to 35) for TIME sites. The first patient on-study was at a TIME site 115 days prior to a Traditional site and the first 7 patients enrolled were at TIME sites. Traditional sites consented 23 and enrolled 16 patients while the TIME sites consented 16 and enrolled 13. The trial enrolled all 29 patients in 8 months with the anticipated enrollment duration being 12 to 18 months. Conclusions: Although the Traditional and TIME programs had different operational models, they both contributed a significant number of patients and reduced the projected enrollment timeline. TIME sites enrolled the initial patients. These results demonstrate that the “Just-in-Time model,” in conjunction with a Traditional model, can reduce projected overall time to enrollment in biomarker-driven studies. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Engineered toxin bodies (ETBs) are composed of a de-immunized Shiga-like Toxin A subunit genetically fused to an antibody-like binding domain. ETBs can force receptor internalization, induce potent cell-kill via enzymatic and permanent inactivation of ribosomes, and may not be subject to resistance mechanisms of other therapeutics. MT-5111 is a 55 kD 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 does not rely on inhibition of kinase signaling or cytoskeletal or DNA damage. Methods: The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MT-5111 monotherapy in adult pts with advanced HER2+ solid tumors. Secondary objectives are pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and immunogenicity. Using a modified 3+3 design, the dose-escalation part of the study enrolls pts with HER2+ tumors into 7 cohorts: 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4.5, 6.75, and 10 µg/kg/dose. Three dose-expansion cohorts will follow for HER2+ breast cancer, gastro-esophageal cancer, and other HER2+ tumors. All pts receive MT-5111 weekly as 30-min IV infusions in each 21-day treatment (tx) cycle (C) until disease progression (PD), unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawn consent (NCT04029922). Results: Per data cut in June 2021, 21 pts (mean age 64 years, range 34-78; 38% male) in cohorts 1-6 with breast (n=7), biliary (n=6), gastric (n=3), pancreatic (n=2), lung (n=2), and colon (n=1) cancer were treated (Table 1). Pts had a median of 4 prior lines of systemic therapies (range, 1-8) and 2 prior lines of HER2-targeting treatments (range, 0-6). No Grade (G)4 or 5 tx-emergent (TE) adverse events (AEs) occurred. Tx-related AEs occurred in 11 (52%) pts; the most common was fatigue (n=7, 33%). One pt (4.5 µg/kg) had a possibly (per PI) related G3 serious AE (SAE) of dyspnea and hypoxia, but also lymphangitic carcinomatosis and H. influenzae infection. The other related SAE occurred in a pt (6.75 µg/kg) who had a G1 transient troponin increase without concomitant cardiac symptoms or ECG/ECHO changes. All other related AEs were ≤G2. There were no clinically significant changes in cardiac biomarkers (troponin, ECG, left ventricular ejection fraction) nor were there cases of capillary leak syndrome. Two pts (3 µg/kg and 4.5 µg/kg) had reversible G2 infusion-related reactions. Best response to date has been stable disease. AUClast data matched PK simulations based on non-human primate studies, and Cmax data at 6.75 µg/kg indicated that current in-human exposure was between the IC50 values of high and medium HER2-expressing cell lines (approximately 10-89 ng/mL). Thus, a dose of at least 10 µg/kg may be required to achieve effective exposure. To date, no dose-limiting toxicities have been observed and the 10 µg/kg/dose cohort is now accruing. Conclusions: MT-5111 was well tolerated with no clinically significant immuno- or cardiotoxicity. Dose escalation is ongoing and nearing levels expected to be required for efficacious exposure.
