ImportanceWhile the incidence of early-onset metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has been increasing, studies on the age-related disparity in this group of patients are limited.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of age with treatment-related adverse events and survival in patients with mCRC and explore the potential underlying factors.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study included 1959 individuals. Individual data on 1223 patients with mCRC who received first-line fluorouracil and oxaliplatin therapy in 3 clinical trials, and clinical and genomic data of 736 patients with mCRC from Moffitt Cancer Center were used to assess genomic alterations and serve as an external validation cohort. All statistical analyses were conducted from October 1, 2021, through November 12, 2022.ExposuresMetastatic colorectal cancer.Main Outcomes and MeasuresSurvival outcomes and treatment-related adverse events were compared among patients in 3 age groups: younger than 50 (early onset), 50 to 65, and older than 65 years.ResultsIn the total population of 1959 individuals, 1145 (58.4%) were men. Among 1223 patients from previous clinical trials, 179 (14.6%) in the younger than 50 years group, 582 (47.6%) in the 50 to 65 years group, and 462 (37.8%) in the older than 65 years group had similar baseline characteristics except for sex and race. The younger than 50 years group had significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.46; 95% CI, 1.22-1.76; P < .001) and overall survival (OS) (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.19-1.84; P < .001) compared with the 50 to 65 years group after adjustment for sex, race, and performance status. Significantly shorter OS in the younger than 50 years group was confirmed in the Moffitt cohort. The younger than 50 years group had a significantly higher incidence of nausea and vomiting (69.3% vs 57.6% [50-65 years] vs 60.4% [>65 years]; P = .02), severe abdominal pain (8.4% vs 3.4% vs 3.5%; P = .02), severe anemia (6.1% vs 1.0% vs 1.5%; P < .001), and severe rash (2.8% vs 1.2% vs 0.4% P = .047). The younger than 50 years group also had earlier onset of nausea and vomiting (1.0 vs 2.1 vs 2.6 weeks; P = .01), mucositis (3.6 vs 5.1 vs 5.7 weeks; P = .05), and neutropenia (8.0 vs 9.4 vs 8.4 weeks; P = .04), and shorter duration of mucositis (0.6 vs 0.9 vs 1.0 weeks; P = .006). In the younger than 50 years group, severe abdominal pain and severe liver toxic effects were associated with shorter survival. The Moffitt genomic data showed that the younger than 50 years group had a higher prevalence of CTNNB1 mutation (6.6% vs 3.1% vs 2.3%; P = .047), ERBB2 amplification (5.1% vs 0.6% vs 2.3%; P = .005), and CREBBP mutation (3.1% vs 0.9% vs 0.5%; P = .05), but lower prevalence of BRAF mutation (7.7% vs 8.5% vs 16.7%; P = .002).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study of 1959 patients, those with early-onset mCRC showed worse survival outcomes and unique adverse event patterns, which could be partially attributed to distinct genomic profiles. These findings may inform individualized management approaches in patients with early-onset mCRC.
Updated dose escalation results for ReFocus, a first-in-human study of highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor RLY-4008 in cholangiocarcinoma and other solid tumors.
Journal of Clinical Oncology | June 4, 2023 | Volume: 41 | Issue: 16_suppl | Pages: 4009-4009
4009 Background: Oncogenic FGFR2 alterations (fusions/rearrangements (f/r), amplifications, mutations) represent a broad therapeutic opportunity as they drive multiple solid tumors, particularly cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, off-isoform toxicity and on-target resistance limit the benefit of approved pan-FGFR inhibitors (FGFRi). RLY-4008 is the first potent, highly selective, oral FGFR2 inhibitor designed to overcome these limitations by targeting FGFR2 driver alterations and resistance mutations. Here, we present updated dose escalation results from ReFocus (NCT04526106), a seamless Phase I/II, open label study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of RLY-4008 in patients (pts) with advanced, FGFR2-altered solid tumors. Methods: Adult pts received RLY-4008 BID, QD, QD discontinuous on a 4-week (wk) cycle following a Bayesian Optimal Interval design. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), PK, ctDNA and anti-tumor activity (RECIST v1.1) were assessed. Results: As of 30 Jan 23, 116 pts (82 f/r, 27 mutation, 6 amplification) received RLY-4008 at doses of 20-200 mg/day, including 91 with CCA. 50% had prior FGFRi, and median lines of prior therapies was 3 (1-15). 28/46 ct-DNA-evaluable pts with CCA with prior FGFRi had ≥1 baseline resistance mutation, most commonly at FGFR2 N549X (23/46) or V564X (17/46). RLY-4008 had favorable PK with doses ≥40 mg QD providing FGFR2 occupancy ≥90%. 70 mg QD was the RP2D based on PK, safety, anti-tumor activity and exposure-dependent tumor regressions in FGFRi-naïve CCA f/r pts. Anti-tumor activity was observed in CCA and solid tumors across doses and FGFR2 alterations with radiographic tumor reductions in 74 (64%), SD/PR in 83 (72%), including 4/4 (100%) FGFRi-naïve CCA f/r pts at RP2D achieving confirmed PR. Clinically meaningful disease control and durable responses were observed in pts with FGFR2 f/r CCA. Overall, median treatment duration was 24 wks (range <1-108 wks). 105 pts discontinued (PD (81%), AE (3%), other (7%)). Across doses, most common TRAEs were low-grade PPE (57%), stomatitis (56%), dry mouth (38%), alopecia (28%), and dry eye (22%). No grade 4/5 TRAEs were observed. Conclusions: These encouraging dose escalation data confirm the broad therapeutic potential of highly selective FGFR2 targeting with RLY-4008 by demonstrating encouraging initial efficacy across FGFR2-altered solid tumors and genomic alterations, with a differentiated safety profile that avoids FGFR1- and FGFR4-related toxicity. Phase 2 of ReFocus continues across solid tumors and with registrational intent in FGFRi-naïve, FGFR2 f/r CCA. Clinical trial information: NCT04526106 . [Table: see text]
Abstract OT3-24-01: ReFocus: A Phase 1/2 Study of the Highly Selective FGFR2 Inhibitor, RLY-4008, in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors Including Breast Cancer
Cancer Research | March 2, 2023 | Volume: 83 | Issue: 5_Supplement | Pages: OT3-24-01-OT3-24-01
Abstract Background: Oncogenic alterations (gene amplification, mutation, and fusion/rearrangements) of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) are rare and occur at varying frequencies across solid tumor types and have become critical therapeutic targets in drug development. First generation FGFR pan-kinase inhibitors non-selectively inhibit FGFR1-4 and are associated with dose limiting toxicities and narrow therapeutic windows. Off-isoform toxicity (FGFR1-hyperphosphatemia; FGFR4-diarrhea) and on-target acquired resistance have led to limited efficacy, which is primarily seen in FGFR2-fusion+ intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Therapies that selectively target FGFR2 remain an unmet need in advanced breast cancer as well as other solid tumor types. RLY-4008 is a novel, oral FGFR2 inhibitor designed to overcome the limitations of pan-FGFR inhibitors (FGFRi) by potently and selectively targeting primary oncogenic FGFR2 alterations and acquired resistance mutations. RLY-4008 is > 200-fold selective over FGFR1, > 80- and > 5000-fold selective over FGFR3 and FGFR4 respectively. Here we describe a phase 1/2 study to investigate the safety and antitumor activity in advanced FGFR2 altered cancers, including breast cancer. Methods: ReFocus is a phase 1/2 open label global study evaluating the safety and efficacy of RLY-4008 (NCT04526106) in adult patients with advanced unresectable and/or metastatic cancers harboring an FGFR2 alteration. Key eligibility criteria include: documented FGFR2 alteration in blood or tissue per local assessment, ECOG performance status of 0-1, disease that is refractory or not adequately responding to standard therapy, has no available standard therapy, or patient is intolerant of, or declined standard therapy (including pan-FGFRi), and measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST 1.1. FGFR2 alteration will be confirmed retrospectively by central laboratory assessment. Part 1 dose escalation employed the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design to determine the MTD/RP2D of RLY-4008. Part 2 dose expansion is presently enrolling patients at the RP2D of RLY-4008 and includes 5 cohorts comprised of patients with: 1. FGFR2 fusion+ cholangiocarcinoma previously treated with an FGFRi; 2. FGFR2 fusion+ cholangiocarcinoma not previously treated with an FGFRi; 3. FGFR2 fusion+ solid tumors; 4. FGFR2 mutation+ solid tumors and 5. FGFR2 amplified solid tumors. Solid tumors in cohorts 3, 4 and 5 will have a focus in breast cancer. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR); key secondary endpoints include: duration of response, safety and tolerability, correlation of FGFR2 genotype by central tissue assessment with antitumor response, characterization of PK profile, and quality of life. US enrollment began September 2020 and has expanded into Europe and Asia. Clinical trial information: NCT04526106.

A phase II study of atezolizumab (ATEZO) and bevacizumab (BEV) in combination with Y90 TARE in patients (pts) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): Y90+/- BEAT.
Journal of Clinical Oncology | January 24, 2023 | Volume: 41 | Issue: 4_suppl | Pages: TPS629-TPS629
TPS629 Background: The anti–PD-L1 antibody ATEZO prevents PD-L1 from interacting with PD-1 and B7.1, thus reinvigorating antitumor T cell activity. Anti-VEGF BEV can increase dendritic cell maturation, enhance T cell infiltration, and reduce myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T-cells in tumors. This combination has been FDA approved for first-line treatment of advanced HCC based on the IMbrave150 study. On the other hand, locoregional radiotherapy (e.g., Y90 TARE) enhances the diversity of the intratumoral T cell receptor repertoire. It is the standard of care for pts with intermediate-stage HCC (iHCC). Based on preclinical and clinical data, we hypothesize that the combination of Y90 TARE, BEV, and ATEZO induces synergistic tumor-killing. Methods: This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study of Y90 TARE and BEV plus ATEZO compared with Y90 TARE alone in pts with unresectable IHCC (NCT04541173). The primary study objective is to assess and compare the progression-free survival (PFS) (per mRECIST 1.1) of pts in each arm. The main secondary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability (CTCAE v5) of TARE combined with ATEZO and BEV in pts with HCC. Exploratory objectives are to assess the role of the immunoscore and PD-L1 expression levels in the prediction of improved clinical outcome in pts receiving Y-90 TARE and BEV plus ATEZO; the composition of tumor-infiltrating immune cell subtypes in predicting response to a chosen therapy; how Y90 therapy affects the proportion of antigen-presenting cells in the tumor; and symptoms experienced by pts receiving TARE and BEV plus ATEZO treatment, using patient-reported outcomes. Eligible pts have either HCC that is not amenable to surgical resection, confirmed by pathology review, or at least BCLC stage B HCC outside of downstaging criteria. Other standard eligibility criteria apply. Pts must have a pretreatment liver biopsy taken and then be randomized 1:1 to TARE (Arm A) or TARE followed by ATEZO and BEV (Arm B). Pts will have TARE mapping during week (wk) 1 and TARE treatment during wk 2. In Arm B, pts will start BEV plus ATEZO 4 wks (±1 wk) after TARE treatment. Pts will have abdominal MRI or CT scans every 12 weeks, CT scans of the chest every 24 wks. Disease progression will be captured by both RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST. We plan to assess the safety of TARE with BEV and ATEZO in the first 10 pts randomized to Arm B for two cycles. If there are no Grade ≥ 3 unexpected toxicities possibly, probably or definitely related to combined TARE plus BEV plus ATEZO, the study will continue to accrue 128 pts in total. Pts will continue study treatment (Arm B) for a total of 24 months from initiation of TARE or until intolerable toxicity or disease progression occur, whichever is earlier. Clinical trial information: NCT04541173 .
An open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study of atezolizumab and bevacizumab with Y90 TARE in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Journal of Clinical Oncology | June 6, 2022 | Volume: 40 | Issue: 16_suppl | Pages: TPS4177-TPS4177
TPS4177 Background: The anti–PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab (ATEZO) prevents PD-L1 from interacting with PD-1 and B7.1, thus reinvigorating antitumor T cell activity. Anti-VEGF bevacizumab (BEV) increases dendritic cell maturation, enhances T cell infiltration, and reduces myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells in tumors. ATEZO + BEV is FDA approved for first-line treatment of advanced HCC based on the IMbrave 150 study. Locoregional radiotherapy (e.g., Y90 TARE) enhances the diversity of the intratumoral T cell receptor repertoire and increases tumor antigen release. We hypothesize that the Y90 TARE + BEV + ATEZO combination induces synergistic tumor killing and prolongs progression-free survival in patients (pts) receiving Y90 TARE (HR = 0.6 when compared to Y-90 TARE alone). Methods: Eligible pts have HCC that cannot be surgically resected (confirmed by pathology review), is at least BCLC stage B, and is outside Milan criteria. Other requirements include ECOG PS of 0-1 at screening, measurable disease by RECIST 1.1, no prior systemic therapy, and FLR estimated at ≥ 40% post local therapy. Pts must have a pretreatment liver biopsy taken and then be randomized 1:1 to TARE (Arm A) or TARE + ATEZO + BEV (Arm B). Pts will have TARE mapping followed by TARE treatment. In Arm B, pts will begin TARE treatment followed by BEV + ATEZO (4 wks [± 1 wk] later). Pts will have abdominal MRI or CT scans every 12 weeks and CT scans of the chest every 24 wks. The primary study objective is to assess and compare pts' progression-free survival (per mRECIST 1.1) in each study arm. The main secondary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability (CTCAE v5) of pts in Arm B. Exploratory objectives are to define the use of cellular and circulating biomarkers in the prediction of improved clinical outcomes of pts in Arm B. Symptoms experienced by pts in both arms using patient-reported outcomes will be assessed. Disease progression will be captured by both RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST. We plan to assess the safety of Y90 TARE + BEV + ATEZO in the first 10 pts randomized to Arm B for two cycles, and if there are no grade ≥ 3 unexpected toxicities possibly, probably, or definitely related to combined TARE + BEV + ATEZO, continue to accrue 128 pts in total (current enrollment n- = 5). Pts will continue study treatment (Arm B) for a total of 24 months from initiation of TARE or until intolerable toxicity or disease progression occur, whichever is earlier. Enrollment began in September 2020. Clinical trial information: NCT04541173.
Core homologous recombination mutations and improved survival in nonpancreatic GI cancers.
Journal of Clinical Oncology | January 19, 2022 | Volume: 40 | Issue: 4_suppl | Pages: 663-663
663 Background: GI malignancies continue to be a major cause of cancer related deaths, despite advances in therapy options. In pancreatic cancer, the presence of homologous recombination mutations (HRM) has been shown to confer increased sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy. However, the role of HRM mutations in other GI cancers remains to be determined. The focus of this study is to evaluate the prognostic nature of core and noncore HRM in nonpancreatic GI cancers. Additionally, we aim to understand the predictive nature of these mutations related to platinum exposure. Methods: This was a retrospective review of patients at Moffitt Cancer Center with a primary stage IV nonpancreatic GI cancer treated with platinum therapy. All patients had next generation sequencing and were in the Clinical Genomics Action Committee database between 1/1/2013 and 11/1/2020. All patients had either a core HRM (BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2) or noncore HRM (such as ATM, ATR, BARD1, BRIP1, FANCA, NBN, and RAD51). Patients were grouped into core HRM vs. noncore HRM. Response was stratified between responders (complete response and partial response) vs. non responders (stable disease and progressive disease), based on RECIST criteria. Progression free survival and overall survival were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used to assess the difference in progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by HRM status and type of platinum therapy used. Results: There were 72 patients included in the study: the majority of patients were male (65.3%) and Caucasian (87.5%). Twenty-one (29.2%) patients had a core HRM and 51 (70.8%) had a noncore HRM. There was no significant difference in response rate between patients with core HRM and patients with noncore HRM for evaluable patients (n = 66): 20.0% of patients with core HRM vs. 21.7% of patients with noncore HRM demonstrated a response to platinum therapy (p = 0.41). An improved OS was noted for patients with core HRM vs. those with noncore HRM at 68.9 vs. 24.3 months (p = 0.019). An improved PFS was also seen in patients with core HRM at 10.4 months vs. 6.3 months with noncore HRM (p = 0.027). There was no difference in PFS based on type of platinum therapy used (oxaliplatin vs. carboplatin vs. cisplatin), while an improved OS was noted for patients treated with oxaliplatin vs. carboplatin vs. cisplatin at 43.1 vs. 28.2 vs. 16.0 months (p = 0.011). Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that in stage IV nonpancreatic GI malignancies treated with platinum therapy, patients with core HRM had a greater OS and PFS compared to those with noncore HRM, suggesting a potential prognostic and predictive role of these mutations. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings.
Association of BRAF V600E mutation with survival in patients with metastatic mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer.
Journal of Clinical Oncology | January 19, 2022 | Volume: 40 | Issue: 4_suppl | Pages: 174-174
174 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC), while one of the most common cancer diagnoses, can behave heterogeneously based on molecular characteristics. A subset of patients (pts) with CRC are characterized with mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-d), these pts exhibit encouraging responses to immunotherapy. The predictive nature of various factors, such as BRAF status, age, and MMR-D protein loss type, have been investigated in pts with MMR-d CRC. However, the prognostic role of these factors has not been well established. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics that influence survival in MMR-d mCRC. Methods: This study evaluated pts with MMR-d mCRC in the Flatiron database. Overall survival (OS) was determined from date of diagnosis of stage IV disease to date of death and stratified based on age greater than or less than 50 years, BRAF mutation status, RAS mutation status, and type of MMR gene loss. For statistical analysis, the Chi-Square test was implemented to determine the prognostic significance of clinical and molecular features. Univariate and multivariate analyses were determined through the Cox regression model. Results: There were 1,101 pts in the study. The majority of pts were older than 50 (79.7%), Caucasian (75%), and had ECOG 0-1 (83.4%). Among the 803 pts with known BRAF status, 44.3% (n=356) had BRAF V600E mutation and 55.7% (n=447) were BRAF wildtype. Pts with BRAF V600E mutation had OS of 18.9 months vs. 33.2 months for pts with wild type BRAF (HR 1.52, 95% CI: 1.25-1.86, p<0.001). Pts older than 50 had a lower median OS vs. those who were ≤50 at 21.4 months vs. 38.7 months (HR 1.66, 95% CI: 1.33-2.07, p<0.001). When comparing MSH2/MSH6 mutations to MLH1/PMS2, a trend towards improved OS was seen with median survival of 35.2 months vs. 22.7 months, respectively (HR 0.79, 95% CI: 0.61-1.02, p=0.067). On multivariate analysis, BRAF mutation and older age continued to be associated with differences in survival, while KRAS mutation and specific MMR gene loss did not. Conclusions: BRAF V600E mutation and age greater than 50 are associated with decreased survival for pts with MMR-D mCRC. KRAS mutations and specific MMR alterations are not associated with differences in survival.
Abstract P02-02: First results of RLY-4008, a potent and highly selective FGFR2 inhibitor in a first-in-human study in patients with FGFR2-altered cholangiocarcinoma and multiple solid tumors
Molecular Cancer Therapeutics | December 3, 2021 | Volume: 20 | Issue: 12_Supplement | Pages: P02-02-P02-02
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Oncogenic FGFR2 alterations (fusions/rearrangements, amplifications, mutations) are key drivers in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and multiple solid tumors. Current pan-FGFR inhibitor (FGFRi) therapy is limited by off-isoform toxicity and acquired FGFR2 kinase domain resistance mutations. RLY-4008 is a highly selective and potent oral inhibitor designed to target both FGFR2 driver and resistance mutations. We initiated a first-in-human study in advanced solid tumors patients (pts) to define the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of RLY-4008 (NCT04526106). METHODS: Adult pts received RLY-4008 QD or BID on a 4-week cycle following a BOIN escalation design. Adverse events (AEs), PK, ctDNA and anti-tumor activity (RECIST 1.1) were assessed. RESULTS: As of 16AUG21, 45 pts (35 CCA; 10 other) have been treated with RLY-4008 at total daily doses of 30-200 mg (18 pts BID; 27 pts QD). 44 pts had oncogenic FGFR2 alterations (26 fusions/13 mutations/5 amplifications). The median number of prior anti-neoplastic therapies was 3 (range 1-15). 94% (33/35) of CCA pts had prior chemotherapy and 69% (24/35) had prior FGFRi. 56% (9/16) CCA pts with prior FGFRi and evaluable ctDNA had ≥1 FGFR2 resistance mutation at baseline, most commonly at positions 549 (8/9), 617 (3/9), or 564 (2/9). RLY-4008 had rapid absorption (Tmax 1-7h), half-life to support QD dosing (18-34 h), dose-dependent exposure (AUC; Cmax) and predicted FGFR2 occupancy >85% across dose levels. The MTD has not been defined, and QD dose exploration continues to select the optimal biologically efficacious dose. AEs occurring in >20% of pts include stomatitis (49%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE, 38%), dry mouth (29%), and nail toxicities (22%), majority of which were ≤Gr 2. 6 pts had Gr 1-2 retinopathy, which resolved in all cases. 5 AEs were considered dose limiting toxicities: 4 in BID (rash/PPE/mucositis/hyperbilirubinemia) and 1 in QD (retinopathy). No Gr 4/5 drug-related AEs were seen. 25 pts remain on treatment (range 1-37 weeks). RLY-4008 showed broad anti-tumor activity across dose levels and FGFR2 alterations with radiographic tumor reductions of ≥10% in 59% pts (19/32; -11% to -83%). Activity was seen in FGFRi-naïve, FGFR2-fusion+ CCA with PRs in 50% of pts (3/6, 2 confirmed and 1 pending confirmation; -56% to -83%). Activity was also seen in FGFRi pre-treated FGFR2-fusion+ CCA pts (N=16) with 16 SD, including 9 pts with tumor reduction ≥10% (from -12% to -35%). Of the FGFRi pre-treated FGFR2-fusion+ CCA patients with detectable FGFR2 resistance mutations in ctDNA at baseline, 78% (7/9) were undetectable at C2D1. CONCLUSION: RLY-4008 demonstrates promising safety, tolerability, and clinical activity in FGFR2-altered solid tumor pts, including those who progressed on prior FGFRi therapy. Consistent with the FGFR2-selective mechanism, minimal off-isoform toxicity (FGFR1-hyperphosphatemia; FGFR4-diarrhea) was seen. These encouraging data validate selective targeting of FGFR2 and suggest that RLY-4008 has potential to overcome resistance to FGFRi.

Efficacy of olaparib therapy in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).
Journal of Clinical Oncology | June 2, 2021 | Volume: 39 | Issue: 15_suppl | Pages: e16266-e16266
e16266 Background: Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies, with a 5 year OS of around 3%. Up to 3% of unselected patients (pts) with (PDAC) have the BRCA 1/2 mutation, while up to 15% possess HRD (ARID1A, ATM, BAP1, BARD1, BRIP1, CHEK1/2, FANCA, PALB2, RAD50, RAD51). PARP inhibitors, like olaparib, demonstrate clinical benefit in metastatic PDAC with BRCA mutations (mBRCA) and may have a role in those with HRD. The objective of this study is to determine the role of PARP inhibition in PDAC with HRD. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of metastatic PDAC pts with germline (g) or somatic (s) mBRCA or HRD who received olaparib. An analysis of PFS and OS was performed for PDAC pts with mBRCA vs. HRD. Results: Forty-six pts with metastatic pancreatic cancer were identified to have mBRCA (n = 13) or HRD (n = 23) and received olaparib in our database. Median age was 73 years for mBRCA and 66 years for HRD. Five pts received olaparib as maintenance therapy after disease control with platinum: 2 mBRCA and 3 HRD pts. Six pts with mBRCA and 7 pts with HRD were platinum naïve prior to olaparib. Zero pts with mBRCA and 3 pts with HRD received olaparib after disease progression on platinum. The median (med)PFS for mBRCA vs. HRD was 6.1 months vs. 2.8 months (HR 0.5, 95% CI: 0.2-1.1, p = 0.07). The medOS for mBRCA vs. HRD was 7.7 vs. 5.3 months (HR 0.7, 95% CI: 0.2-1.9, p = 0.4). Of those with mBRCA who received olaparib, prior cisplatin exposure (n = 8) vs. cisplatin naïve (n = 5) led to medPFS of 6.1 vs. 7.8 months (HR 1.8, 95% CI 0.5-6.7, p = 0.3) and medOS of 6.8 months vs. 9.5 months (HR 1.5, 95% 0.3-6.4, p = 0.6). Six pts with HRD including gCHEK2 c.407T > C, gCHEK2 c.1461+1 G > A, gPALB2 gain (exon 11), sFANCI p.N1252S, sATM p.V2716A, sARID1A Q944fs*14 were noted to have disease control of at least 3 months on olaparib. Only one of these pts received olaparib as maintenance therapy after platinum. The medPFS was 6.1 months and medOS was not reached. One pt with HRD (sFANCI N1252S) had progressive disease on platinum prior to olaparib, but had stable disease > 5 months with olaparib. Conclusions: Our study suggests olaparib may have anticancer activity in PDAC with certain HRD. In addition, olaparib may have a role outside maintenance therapy in PDAC with mBRCA. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

TPS358 Background: The anti–PD-L1 antibody ATEZO prevents PD-L1 from interacting with PD-1 and B7.1, thus reinvigorating antitumor T cell activity. Anti-VEGF BEV can increase dendritic cell maturation, enhance T cell infiltration, and reduce myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T-cells in tumors. This combination has been FDA approved for first-line treatment of advanced HCC based on the IMbrave 150 study. On the other hand, locoregional radiotherapy (e.g., Y90 TARE) enhances the diversity of the intratumoral T cell receptor repertoire. It is the standard of care for pts with intermediate-stage HCC (iHCC). Based on preclinical and clinical data, we hypothesize that the combination of Y90 TARE, BEV, and ATEZO induces synergistic tumor-killing. Methods: This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II study of Y90 TARE and BEV plus ATEZO compared with Y90 TARE alone in pts with unresectable IHCC. The primary study objective is to assess and compare the progression-free survival (PFS) (per mRECIST 1.1) of pts in each arm. The main secondary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability (CTCAE v5) of TARE combined with ATEZO and BEV in pts with HCC. Exploratory objectives are to assess the role of the immunoscore and PD-L1 expression levels in the prediction of improved clinical outcome in pts receiving Y-90 TARE and BEV plus ATEZO; the composition of tumor-infiltrating immune cell subtypes in predicting response to a chosen therapy; how Y90 therapy affects the proportion of antigen-presenting cells in the tumor; and symptoms experienced by pts receiving TARE and BEV plus ATEZO treatment, using patient-reported outcomes. Eligible pts have either HCC that is not amenable to surgical resection, confirmed by pathology review, or at least BCLC stage B HCC outside of downstaging criteria. Other standard eligibility criteria apply. Pts must have a pretreatment liver biopsy taken and then be randomized 1:1 to TARE (Arm A) or TARE followed by ATEZO and BEV (Arm B). Pts will have TARE mapping during week (wk) 1 and TARE treatment during wk 2. In Arm B, pts will start BEV plus ATEZO 4 wks (±1 wk) after TARE treatment. Pts will have abdominal MRI or CT scans every 12 weeks, CT scans of the chest every 24 wks, and a second tumor biopsy at 4 wks. Disease progression will be captured by both RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST. We plan to assess the safety of TARE with BEV and ATEZO in the first 10 pts randomized to Arm B for two cycles. If there are no grade ≥ 3 unexpected toxicities possibly, probably or definitely related to combined TARE plus BEV plus ATEZO, the study will continue to accrue 128 pts in total. Pts will continue study treatment (Arm B) for a total of 24 months from initiation of TARE or until intolerable toxicity or disease progression occur, whichever is earlier. Enrollment began in September 2020. Clinical trial information: NCT04541173.
