TPS3160 Background: Patients (pts) with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric adenocarcinoma (GC), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), have limited treatment options with short PFS and OS despite recent advances (1-3). Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) is highly expressed across multiple solid tumors, such as CRC, GC, PDAC, and NSCLC. Restricted normal tissue expression and efficient lysosomal trafficking of CEACAM5 highlight its potential as an anticancer target. SGN-CEACAM5C is a novel investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) directed to CEACAM5 composed of the humanized immunoglobulin G (IgG1) anti-CEACAM5 monoclonal antibody tusamitamab chemically conjugated to 8 molecules of the topoisomerase 1 inhibitor 7-aminomethyl-10,11-methylenedioxycamptothecin (AMDCPT). SGN-CEACAM5C selectively binds to CEACAM5 present on the cell surface and is internalized via the endo-lysosomal pathway, with subsequent release of the payload through enzymatic cleavage. Release of the cytotoxic payload induces DNA damage, cell cycle arrest in S phase, and apoptosis in tumor cells. In vitro bystander activity was observed against tumor cells without CEACAM5 surface expression. SGN-CEACAM5C is highly active in multiple patient-derived xenograft models, including CRC, GC, and NSCLC, across various levels of CEACAM5 expression (4,5). These preclinical findings justify evaluation of SGN-CEACAM5C in a clinical trial setting. Methods: SGNCEA5C-001 (NCT06131840) is a phase 1, open-label, multicenter study designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of SGN-CEACAM5C in adults with select advanced solid tumors. This study consists of dose escalation (Part A), dose and schedule optimization (Part B), and dose expansion (Part C). Eligible pts are adults ≥18 years of age with confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumor malignancy, measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, an ECOG PS of 0-1, and 1 of the following tumor types: CRC, GC/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ), PDAC, NSCLC (squamous/non-squamous), or SCLC. Primary endpoints include incidence of AEs, laboratory abnormalities, dose modifications due to AEs, dose-limiting toxicities, and cumulative safety. Secondary endpoints include estimates of PK parameters, incidence of antidrug antibodies, objective response rate and best response per RECIST v1.1 by investigator, duration of response, PFS, and OS. Safety and antitumor activity endpoints will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Recruitment is ongoing for Part A in North America. 1. Bordry 2021. 2. Chakrabarti 2022. 3. Merle 2022. 4.

Abstract Introduction Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients who have failed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy for one reason or the other is now standard of care. Once the device is implanted and activated, voltage to stimulate the nerve has to be titrated over time, ultimately leading to an HNS titration study. There are 4 possible electrode configurations to stimulate different fibers in the nerve that can be employed for treatment. We present a case of a patient who was a challenge with worsening of OSA with Inspire. Report of case(s) A 65-year-old woman with hypertension, and severe OSA, intolerant of positive airway pressure or oral appliances was implanted with Inspire. Post activation, there was symptomatic improvement with reduction of overall apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from 34 per hour of sleep to 6.3 per hour. However, patient slept exclusively on the sides with evidence of significant residual disease in REM sleep. During subsequent weeks, patent reported inability to restrict position and discomfort and anxiety associated with up titration. Both awake endoscopy and advanced overnight HNS titration were pursued. All 4 electrode configurations were tested during both procedures. With the exception of (minus-plus-minus) configuration, there was worsening of sleep disordered breathing and higher residual AHI of 60 per hour on polysomnography and evidence of poor tongue motion and collapsed velopharynx on awake endoscopy. Inspire settings were readjusted to (minus-plus-minus) configuration with instructions for very slow outpatient uptitration and co-management of anxiety and discomfort with anxiolytics and sleep aids. Conclusion We make two important conclusions from this case. Firstly, although there are established criteria for patient selection for hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy, certain other factors that impact success which are not as easily defined include the patients’ expectations, tolerance of discomfort, propensity to anxiety and personality type which impact the ability to successfully titrate voltage with the Inspire device over time. Secondly, as the tongue is a complex muscle, both under titration and over titration may be counterproductive and additionally, electrode configuration may also have varying effects on tongue protrusion and impact success.

Abstract Introduction Multisystem atrophy (MSA) is a neurological degenerative progressive disease affecting multiple systems. These patients are frequently seen in the sleep clinic at specialty centers by sleep neurologists for co-management of sleep disordered breathing and nocturnal respiratory issues. Stridor is a life-threatening condition seen in these patients and requires emergent action. We present a case of MSA with worsening stridor that was missed in the era of virtual telemedicine. Report of case(s) A 53-year-old female with a history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on BiPAP S and multiple system atrophy with parkinsonian subtype presented virtually to sleep clinic for follow up evaluation of her sleep disordered breathing. Six months prior to her visit she was noted to have bilateral vocal fold hypomobility without stridor. At that time, she had a residual apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 1.4 with BiPAP-S 16/13 cm H2O and no nocturnal stridor. She was wheelchair bound. She had routine follow up visits with various providers however these were telemedicine visits with her husband doing most of the talking due to weakness. Over the next 5 months she had worsening fatigue and was using BiPAP S during the day intermittently and was referred to the sleep medicine clinic for consideration of supplemental oxygen at night. A repeat overnight oximetry revealed residual oxygen desaturation index (ODI) of 2.5/hr while on BiPAP S. Repeat pulmonary function testing was ordered and patient was recommended to return for immediate in person follow up. When seen in person, patient was noted to have significant stridor which had been ongoing and worsening over last few months including being appreciated while on PAP therapy. Emergent same-day ENT consultation was arranged by sleep providers. Posterior cordectomy was performed shortly thereafter. The patient was scheduled for an AVAPS titration study. Conclusion In cases with progressive neuromuscular disease, stridor may be missed during virtual appointments for a variety of reasons including technical difficulties, or the virtual medium not being sensitive enough to convey stridor. This case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for stridor and impending respiratory failure requiring emergent intervention in patients with neuromuscular disease.

ABSTRACT Mpox is a rare infection caused by the zoonotic orthopoxvirus. We present the case of a 44-year-old man with HIV and a history of kidney transplant who presented with mpox and developed proctitis-associated bowel obstruction, urinary retention, and eosinophilia. Our case highlights potential gastrointestinal manifestations of severe mpox infection.

2651 Background: Etigilimab (etig), a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, blocks TIGIT interaction with PVR (poliovirus receptor) and inhibits downstream signalling with target cell killing. Etig +/- nivolumab (nivo) showed acceptable safety and preliminary activity in a FIH Phase 1a/b study in solid tumors. ACTIVATE, an open-label Phase 1b/2 basket study is evaluating further efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK/PD of etig+nivo. This is a preliminary efficacy and safety analysis from ACTIVATE. Methods: Subjects with advanced/metastatic solid tumors without curative/standard of care therapies are given IV etig+nivo Q2W until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Six open cohorts are enrolling in parallel: endometrial cancer (post-front-line platinum), endometrial cancer (2-3 prior lines), PD-L1+ checkpoint-inhibitor-naïve (CPI-n) cervical cancer, rare cancers (germ cell tumor (GCT), sarcoma, uveal melanoma), ovarian cancer (post-front-line platinum) and TMB-h/MSS, (TMB >10mut/mb) tumors. Tumor assessments are done every 8 weeks following baseline scan. Primary endpoint is investigator-assessed ORR by RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints include duration of response and safety. Results: Of 27 efficacy-evaluable subjects enrolled in the 6 open cohorts with minimum 1 staging scan or radiological/clinical progression at data cut-off of 02/10/22, 12 had clinical benefit with 1 complete response (CR), 2 partial responses (PRs) and 9 stable diseases (SDs) and 15 had radiological/clinical progressive disease (PD), with an overall response rate (ORR) of 11% and disease control rate (DCR) of 44%. Conclusions: Etig+nivo is safe and well tolerated with no new safety signals. Early efficacy was noted in cervical cancer (1CR, 1PR and 1SD) and uveal melanoma (3 SDs >20 weeks). Encouraging activity was also noted in ovarian cancer and post-CPI treated TMB-H/MSS NSCLC. These early data support continued evaluation of the combination of etig+nivo. Clinical activity was notable as below. Clinical trial information: NCT04761198. [Table: see text]

Abstract The treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is becoming more complex as new medications are approved. Primary care providers must maintain their medical knowledge on emerging medications for best patient care. This review simplifies the non-insulin treatments of diabetes with an emphasis on the cardio-renal protectants, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1).
