2071 Background: Brigimadlin (BI 907828) is a potent small molecule inhibitor of the p53-MDM2 pathway currently in a phase 0/1 clinical trial in combination with radiotherapy in newly diagnosed MGMTunmethylated glioblastoma (GBM). To inform development of brigimadlin for GBM, we developed a pharmacokinetic (PK)/ pharmacodynamic (PD)/ efficacy model using GBM patient derived xenografts (PDXs). Methods: Brigimadlin PK parameters were evaluated in FVB wild-type and knockout (Mdr1a/b-/-Bcrp1-/-) mice and in athymic nude mice. Drug binding was measured by rapid equilibrium dialysis, and drug levels quantified by LC/MS-MS. Dose-response relationships were evaluated in subcutaneous and orthotopic PDXs across a range of doses. Response to brigimadlin (2 mg/kg weekly) +/- RT (2 Gy x 10 fractions) was evaluated in orthotopic PDXs. Results: Brigimadlin significantly delayed median time to regrowth of GBM108 ( MDM2amplified) subcutaneous tumors (vs. placebo; p<0.05) at dose levels of 0.25 mg/kg (1.3-fold), 0.5 mg/kg (1.5-fold), 1 mg/kg (2.6-fold), and 2 mg/kg (5.3-fold). A single dose of brigimadlin resulted in corresponding intra-tumoral drug levels 24 hours post-dose: 84 nM (0.25 mg/kg), 175 nM (0.5 mg/kg), 398 nM (1 mg/kg) and 924 nM (2 mg/kg) and dose-dependent upregulation of p53 target genes (p21 and PUMA). In contrast, GBM14 ( MDM2non-amplified) showed regrowth delay (1.6-fold) only at 2 mg/kg (p=0.008). Brigimadlin was highly bound (fraction unbound = 0.0006 in brain; 0.0017 in GBM tumor tissue), and CNS distribution was limited by efflux; in wild-type mice Kp,uu_brain = 0.002 ± 0.003; in Mdr1a/b-/-Bcrp1-/- mice Kp,uu = 0.043 ± 0.025. Efficacy of brigimadlin was compared in orthotopic GBM108 PDXs grown in athymic nude mice vs. immuno/efflux-deficient (Rag2-/-Mdr1a-/-Bcrp1-/-) mice. In nude mice, median survival was extended at 2 mg/kg brigimadlin (1.4-fold, p=0.009), with corresponding intra-tumoral drug levels of 29 nM. In efflux deficient mice, median survival was extended (p<0.05) at 0.25 mg/kg (1.5-fold), 0.5 mg/kg (1.5-fold), 1 mg/kg (1.8-fold), and 2 mg/kg (>4-fold). Measurement of intra-tumoral drug levels is in progress. In combination with RT in GBM108, brigimadlin (2 mg/kg x 2 weeks) extended median survival vs. vehicle (66 vs. 50 days; p=0.012) and enhanced median survival following RT (128.5 vs. 82 days; p=0.009). In GBM14, 2 mg/kg brigimadlin (2 mg/kg x 12 weeks) extended median survival (39.5 vs. 32.5 days; p=0.0004) and enhanced survival following RT (97 vs. 81 days; p<0.0001). Conclusions: Efficacy of brigimadlin is dependent on adequate CNS delivery. Studies in subcutaneous PDX demonstrated intra-tumoral total drug levels in the mid-nanomolar range provide meaningful tumor effects in a highly sensitive, MDM2 amplified PDX. In orthotopic PDXs with and without MDM2 amplification, brigimadlin provided further benefit in combination with RT. These data support ongoing clinical evaluation of brigimadlin in GBM.

2012 Background: Navtemadlin (nvtm) is a potent, selective, orally available small molecule inhibitor of murine double minute 2 homologue (MDM2), which has completed a Ph 0 surgical window of opportunity study in glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (GBM; Lee SNO 2022). To optimally interpret the clinical data, an extensive evaluation of nvtm PK, PD, and efficacy was performed in GBM patient derived xenografts (PDXs). Methods: Response to nvtm +/- radiotherapy (RT) was characterized in vitro and in vivo across a panel of GBM PDXs with various TP53 and MDM2 alterations. Efficacy, PK, and PD were evaluated in flank or orthotopic PDX models. p53 pathway activation was evaluated by qPCR, Western blot, and IHC. Nvtm brain penetration was evaluated in immunodeficient abcb1a/b-/- (P-glycoprotein; P-gp), abcg2-/- (BCRP), or double-knockout mice. Binding was assessed by rapid equilibrium dialysis, and nvtm concentrations by LC/MS-MS and MALDI-MSI. Results: Nvtm decreased in vitro viability of TP53WT GBM PDX explant cultures with IC50s <100 nM, but was ineffective in TP53-mutant GBM. In flank PDX models, nvtm (100 mg/kg daily for 4 weeks) delayed tumor regrowth by 1.9 to 4.8-fold in TP53 WT PDXs without MDM2amplification (n=9 models), and more markedly by 20.1 to 29.4-fold in MDM2amplified models (n=4; 2 PDXs did not recur). In a flank PDX dose-response study, nvtm delayed the growth of MDM2amplified GBM108 at 25 mg/kg vs. placebo (61 vs. 11 days; p=0.014; mean intra-tumoral nvtm = 590 nM). In contrast, growth of MDM2 non-amplified GBM14 was delayed only at 100 mg/kg (37 vs. 15 days; p=0.082; mean intra-tumoral nvtm = 2990 nM). In both flank models, p53 target gene upregulation was similar between 25 and 100 mg/kg and did not correlate with regrowth. Nvtm was highly bound (fraction unbound = 0.090 in culture media and 0.014 in GBM tissue homogenate). In mice after oral dosing, distribution to CNS was limited by P-gp, with a brain to plasma ratio of 0.009 and unbound ratio of 0.005, whereas BCRP deficiency did not affect CNS distribution. With orthotopic GBM108, nvtm efficacy was evaluated in nude vs. efflux-deficient mice. In nude mice, nvtm was ineffective at doses up to 100 mg/kg; however, in efflux deficient mice, the mean intra-tumoral nvtm level at 25 mg/kg was similar to flank tumors (690 nM) and survival was significantly extended (134 vs. 62 days, p=0.0002) with additional benefit at 100 mg/kg (>300 vs. 62 days, p=0.002). Conclusions: Nvtm showed significant efficacy in TP53 WT GBM flank PDX models but efficacy in orthotopic PDX was highly dependent on CNS penetration. Targeting nvtm levels based on the in vitroIC50 may significantly underestimate the in vivo effective concentration . In vivo studies showed lower intra-tumoral nvtm levels are required to significantly inhibit growth of MDM2amplified compared with non-amplified tumors.

Introduction/Objectives: Despite U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society endorsement of primary HPV screening, limited published data shows low uptake. Primary Aim: Assess cervical cancer screening rates over time, particularly primary HPV test uptake, among patients in a midwestern practice. Secondary Aim: Evaluate associations between sociodemographics and screening adherence. Methods: Cross-sectional study. Qualifying subjects and type of screening test used were identified by applying ICD-9, ICD-10, lab test, and CPT codes to the Unified Data Platform. Sociodemographics were found through the electronic health record. Results: Primary HPV uptake represented <1% of annual screening from 1/2017 to 1/2022. On 1/1/2022, only 55% of 21 to 29 year old and 63% of 30 to 65 year old were up to date with screening among the studied population. For 21 to 29 year old, compared with White women, Black women were 28% less likely to be screened [RR = 0.72 (0.66-0.79)]. Compared with never-smokers, current smokers were 9% less likely to be screened [RR = 0.91 (0.87-0.96)], past smokers were 14% more likely [RR = 1.14 (1.09-1.2)]. Among 30 to 65 year old, compared with White women, Black women were 14% less likely to be screened [RR = 0.86 (0.81-0.9)]. Compared with never-smokers, current smokers were 21% less likely to be screened [RR = 0.79 (0.77-0.81)], past smokers were 6% less likely [RR = 0.94 (0.92-0.95)]. Jointly considering race, ethnicity, smoking status, Charlson score, and rurality, findings were similar for 21 to 29 year old; Black women were screened less than White women [RR = 0.73 (0.67-0.79)]; current smokers [RR = 0.9 (0.85-0.94)] and past smokers [RR = 1.12 (1.06-1.17)] were screened less than never smokers. For 30 to 65 year old, Black women were screened less than White women [RR = 0.83 (0.79-0.88)]; current smokers [RR = 0.8 (0.78-0.81)] and past smokers [RR = 0.95 (0.93-0.96)] were screened less than never smokers. Conclusions: Screening rates remained below the Healthy People 2030 goal of 79.2% over time, particularly for younger Black women and current smokers, with minimal use of primary HPV screening.

Background: Management strategies for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have rapidly shifted in recent years. As novel imaging and therapeutic approaches have made their way to the clinic, providers are encountering increasingly challenging clinical scenarios, with limited guidance from the current literature. Materials and Methods: The US Prostate Cancer Conference (USPCC) is a multidisciplinary meeting of prostate cancer experts intended to address the many challenges of prostate cancer management. At the first annual USPCC meeting, areas of controversy and consensus were identified during a 2-day meeting that included expert presentations, full-panel discussions, and postdiscussion responses to questions developed by the USPCC cochairs and session moderators. Results: This narrative review covers the USPCC expert discussion and perspectives relevant to mCRPC, including neuroendocrine/aggressive-variant prostate cancer (NEPC/AVPC). Areas of broad agreement identified among USPCC experts include the benefits of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for patients with BRCA1/2 mutations, the use of radioligand therapy in patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–positive mCRPC, and the need for clinical trials that address real-world clinical questions, including the performance of novel therapies when compared with modern standard-of-care treatment. Ongoing areas of controversy and uncertainty included the appropriateness of PARP inhibitors in patients with non-BRCA1/2 mutations, the optimal definition of PSMA positivity, and systemic therapies for patients with NEPC/AVPC after progression on platinum-based therapies. Conclusions: The first annual USPCC meeting identified several areas of controversy in the management of mCRPC, highlighting the urgent need for clinical trials designed to facilitate treatment selection and sequencing in this heterogeneous disease state.

Purpose: Castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) is a complex and heterogeneous condition encompassing a range of clinical presentations. As new approaches have expanded management options, clinicians are left with myriad questions and controversies regarding the optimal individualized management of CSPC. Materials and Methods: The US Prostate Cancer Conference (USPCC) multidisciplinary panel was assembled to address the challenges of prostate cancer management. The first annual USPCC meeting included experts in urology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and nuclear medicine. USPCC co-chairs and session moderators identified key areas of controversy and uncertainty in prostate cancer management and organized the sessions with multidisciplinary presentations and discussion. Throughout the meeting, experts responded to questions prepared by chairs and moderators to identify areas of agreement and controversy. Results: The USPCC panel discussion and question responses for CSPC-related topics are presented. Key advances in CSPC management endorsed by USPCC experts included the development and clinical utilization of gene expression classifiers and artificial intelligence (AI) models for risk stratification and treatment selection in specific patient populations, the use of advanced imaging modalities in patients with clinically localized unfavorable intermediate or high-risk disease and those with biochemical recurrence, recommendations of doublet or triplet therapy for metastatic CSPC (mCSPC), and consideration of prostate and/or metastasis-directed radiation therapy in select patients with mCSPC. Conclusions: CSPC is a diverse disease with many therapeutic options and the potential for adverse outcomes associated with either undertreatment or overtreatment. Future studies are needed to validate and clinically integrate novel technologies, including genomics, AI, and advanced imaging, to optimize outcomes among patients with CSPC.

Abstract Background: Ovarian function suppression (OFS) combined with tamoxifen (TAM) or an aromatase inhibitor (AI) is standard for premenopausal (PM) ER+, HER2- breast cancer (BC). However, &gt; 40% PM patients (pts) are intolerant of OFS. For these pts, TAM is the only FDA approved option. In the neoadjuvant endocrine setting, pts with endocrine sensitive disease (ESD) (Ki-67 ≤ 10% at 4 weeks) have 5yr dDFS &gt; 97%; however, only 45% of TAM pts vs &gt;75% with AI+OFS achieve 4 wk ESD (Nitz JCO 2022). (Z)-endoxifen (ENDX) is a potent anti-estrogen superior to TAM and AI in xenograft models and with antitumor activity in endocrine-resistant postmenopausal pts. ENDX additionally targets protein kinase C beta 1 (PKCβ1) at concentrations &gt;500 ng/mL, resulting in AKT inhibition and apoptosis (Jayaraman npj Breast Cancer 2023). We hypothesize that ENDX dual targeting of ERα and PKCβ1 will obviate the need for OFS and be non-inferior to AI plus OFS for PM pts with ER+/HER2- BC. Methods: EVANGELINE (NCT05607004) is an ongoing phase 2 multicenter neoadjuvant study with pharmacokinetic (PK) run-in assessing ENDX in PM women with ER+/HER2- BC. The primary objective for the PK run-in is to identify a dose (40 or 80 mg/day) resulting in ENDX steady state concentrations (Css) of 500-1000 ng/mL (to target both ERα and PKCβ1) without significant toxicity. Following PK run-in, the randomized phase II goal is to assess whether the ESD rate with ENDX is non-inferior to exemestane plus goserelin. Women with ESD at wk4 continue treatment for 24 weeks followed by surgery. Here we report the results from the 40 mg/day PK run-in. Results: Seven PM women (6 White, 1 Asian) aged 28-51 (median 46) received ENDX 40 mg/day. Pt characteristics on study were: ER &gt; 90% (all pts), median Ki-67 = 13 (range 4-33%), cTstage (cT2: 6 pts, cT3: 1 pt), and tumor grade (G1: 1 pt, G2: 6 pts). The median ENDX 28 day Css (ng/mL) was 263.6 (range 180.3-376.6). One pt discontinued due to wk4 Ki-67 remaining &gt; 10%. The remaining 6 had ESD, with either wk4 Ki-67 remaining ≤ 10% (3 pts) or decreasing to ≤ 10% (3 pts) and after 24 wks underwent surgery with surgical Ki-67 ≤ 3% (range 0-3%). MRI central review (wk12 and wk24) demonstrated target lesion decreases in all pts with 1 CR, 1 PR and 4 SD (RECIST). Treatment related toxicities included grade 3 headache (n=1), grade 2 amenorrhea (n=1), and grade 2 hot flashes (n=1). The median (range) baseline estrone (n=5) was 54 pg/mL (19-114) with median (range) fold increase from baseline of 9.0 (1.3-23.2) at wk4 and 4.7 (0.4 - 25.9) at wk24. The median baseline estradiol level (n=5) was 29 pg/mL (19-209) with median fold increases from baseline of 17.9 (0.4-57.0) at wk4 and 8.1 (0.04 - 56.6) at wk24. Additional surgical and blood biomarker data will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: ENDX (40 mg/day) exhibits promising antitumor activity for PM ER+/HER2- BC but with ENDX Css below target. Enrollment is ongoing to the 80 mg/day dose level. Citation Format: Matthew P. Goetz, Vera J.

AbstractBackgroundWith modern treatment paradigms, olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) has favorable overall survival (OS); however, the incidence of recurrence remains high. The primary aims of this study were to delineate the prognosis of recurrence of ONB and explore how recurrence subsites are associated with OS, disease‐specific survival (DSS), and further recurrence.MethodsA retrospective chart review of ONB cases from nine academic centers between 2005 and 2021 was completed. Tumor characteristics, recurrence subsites, timelines to recurrence, additional recurrences, and survival estimates were determined using descriptive and time‐to‐event analyses.ResultsA final cohort of 233 patients was identified, with 70 (30.0%) patients recurring within 50.4 (standard deviation ±40.9) months of diagnosis on average, consisting of local (50%), neck (36%), intracranial (9%), and distant (6%) recurrence. Compared with subjects without recurrence, patients with recurrence had significantly different primary American Joint Committee on Cancer T stage (p < 0.001), overall stage (p < 0.001), and modified Kadish scores (p < 0.001). Histopathology identified that dural involvement and positive margins were significantly greater in recurrent cases. First recurrence was significantly associated with worse 5‐year DSS (hazard ratio = 5.62; p = 0.003), and subjects with neck or local recurrence had a significantly better DSS compared to intracranial or distant recurrence.ConclusionsRecurrent cases of ONB have significantly different stages and preoperative imaging factors. Patients with local or neck recurrence, however, have better DSS than those with intracranial or distant recurrence, independent of initial tumor stage or Hyams grade. Identifying specific factors that confer an increased risk of recurrence and DSS is important for patient counseling in addition to surveillance planning.
