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is dosed weekly IV over 30 min in every 21-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawn consent.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.

TPS3158 Background: ELU001 is a novel, first-in-class, new molecular entity described as a C’Dot Drug Conjugate (CDC). ELU001 consists of ̃12 folic acid targeting moieties and ̃22 exatecan topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payloads on Cathepsin-B cleavable linkers covalently bound to the surface of each silicon core/polyethylene glycol C’Dot nanoparticle. CDCs are small in size (̃6 nm), have a greater ability to penetrate into and through tumors as compared to ADCs, and are rapidly eliminated by the kidneys. The rapid systemic elimination is expected to lead to less toxicity than is observed with targeting platforms like ADCs that have a longer half-life in circulation. ELU001’s high avidity is believed to promote internalization into FRα overexpressing cancer cells, selectively delivering it’s ̃22 molecules of payload. The first-in-human clinical trial, ELU-FRα-1, is currently recruiting patients that have advanced, recurrent or refractory FRα overexpressing tumors considered to be topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-sensitive based on the literature, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, have no satisfactory therapeutic options available. Methods: This is a Phase 1 / 2 multicenter, open label clinical trial with two parts: Part 1 Dose Escalation and Part 2 Tumor Group Expansion Cohort(s). In Part 1, patients with cancer types with a high likelihood of having FRα overexpressing tumors based on historical data, (specifically, ovarian, endometrial, colorectal, gastric, gastroesophageal junction, triple negative breast, or non-small cell lung cancers, or cholangiocarcinoma), will be enrolled to the study. Patients will receive ELU001 on a weekly dose regimen (QW) (once a week for 3 weeks, 1 week rest) or every other week dose regimen (Q2W, with no rest between cycles). Retrospective analysis of FRα expression will be determined. Part 2 uses a Simon’s Two-Stage design to evaluate 4-6 tumor group expansion cohorts, each consisting of patients with specific tumor types (to be identified based on emerging data) that overexpress FRα (prospectively determined prior to enrollment). The primary objective for Part 1 is to identify the MTD/RP2D and for Part 2 is ORR. Dose Escalation will recruit about 25 patients per dose regimen (QW or Q2W). Dose Expansion will recruit about 15 patients per tumor group expansion cohort. Secondary objectives are anti-tumor activity (DOR, PFS, TFST, PFS2, OS), frequency, severity and tolerability of adverse events, PK, ADA, and FRα expression assessments. The study is actively enrolling in the US – Cohorts 1-2 have been completed without DLT. Enrollment to Cohort 3 began in December 2021. Clinical trial information: NCT05001282 .

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.

TPS1108 Background: The current first-line (1L) standard of care (SOC) for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is trastuzumab (T) plus pertuzumab (P) and a taxane. Despite advances in 1L SOC, most patients (pts) progress during maintenance therapy with T+P. Tucatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved in combination with T and capecitabine for adults with HER2+ MBC, with and without brain metastases (BM). In HER2CLIMB, the addition of tucatinib significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in pts with HER2+ MBC and was well tolerated. Adding tucatinib also reduced the risk of disease progression or death in pts with untreated and/or active BM (Murthy et al. 2020, Curigliano et al. 2021). HER2CLIMB-05 investigates whether adding tucatinib to 1L SOC as maintenance therapy will extend PFS while maintaining quality of life (QOL). Methods: HER2CLIMB-05 (NCT05132582) is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study evaluating tucatinib plus T+P as maintenance therapy for HER2+ MBC. Approximately 650 pts will be enrolled. Eligible pts will have advanced HER2+ disease, no progression on 4–8 cycles of prior 1L SOC, ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1, and no or asymptomatic BM. Exclusion criteria include prior treatment with anti-HER2 and/or anti-epidermal growth factor receptor TKI (prior SOC for early BC is permitted) or inability to undergo contrast magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive either tucatinib or placebo twice daily, with T+P once every 21 days. Pts with HR+ disease may receive endocrine therapy. The primary endpoint is investigator-assessed PFS. Secondary endpoints include OS (key endpoint), time to deterioration of health-related QOL, central nervous system PFS, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. PFS and OS will be compared using a 2-sided stratified log-rank test between treatment groups. Time-to-event endpoints will be summarized using the Kaplan–Meier method. PK and safety data will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Enrollment is ongoing in the US, with additional sites planned. Clinical trial information: NCT05132582.

2648 Background: To characterize the safety and tolerability of PY314, an immunosuppressive macrophage depleting antibody, as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced refractory solid tumors including subject’s refractory to checkpoint inhibitors if approved for that indication. Methods: Two were evaluated in subjects with advanced solid tumors, single agent PY314 and PY314 in combination with 200 mg of pembrolizumab using a 3+3 dose escalation study design. Dosing was intravenous and administered once every 3-weeks, a defined cycle. Disease assessment by RECIST 1.1 was performed every 6 weeks. Each stratum included 4 dose levels of PY314 (1, 3, 10, and 20 mg/kg). Pharmacokinetics were evaluated at specified time points. Archival tumor tissue was analyzed for TREM2 expression by immunohistochemistry. Based on preclinical evaluation of TREM2 expression, HR+ HER2- and triple negative breast cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cell cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and gynecologic cancers were studied. Results: 28 subjects (median age 60 years [range 26-76], 22 females and 6 ) with an ECOG PS <2 were enrolled and all, but one was (1 subject withdrew consent after dosing). 15 subjects were treated with single agent PY314 and 13 were treated with the combination. No infusion-related reactions, dose limiting toxicities, suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions or high-grade treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) that resulted in treatment discontinuance was seen. 12 subjects experienced at least one TRAE, and in all but one subject, these were low grade. One subject experienced a treatment-related immune system disorder. serious adverse events, all unrelated to treatment. TREM2 expression in archival tumor ranged from 0.0-20%. PY314 pharmacokinetics were linear, dose proportional, unaffected by concomitant pembrolizumab and with a half-life of 8-9 days. Best radiographic response was stable disease seen in 11 subjects (39.3%) ranging in duration from 9-42 weeks. 6 subjects with stable disease have progressed and 5 remain on treatment. Conclusions: PY314 was well tolerated and has an excellent safety profile both as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. A recommended dose for expansion was derived and enrollment in five prespecified cancers is ongoing. Clinical trial information: 04691375.

Abstract Background: Survival advantages with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) have been observed in patients (pts) with locally advanced breast cancer (BC) who achieve pathological complete response (pCR). Predicting risk of early recurrence in pts without pCR remains difficult. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may be a biomarker of neoadjuvant therapy response and recurrence. This study applied tumor genotyping of peripheral blood in pts with HER2− tumor BRCA-mutated (tBRCAm) BC treated with neoadjuvant niraparib. The relationship between ctDNA and tumor response was also characterized, with a focus on circulating TP53 mutant allelic frequency (MAF). Methods: Blood was collected from 21 pts enrolled in the study (NCT03329937) evaluating neoadjuvant niraparib in pts with localized HER2− tBRCAm BC. Pts received niraparib 200 mg once daily for two 28-day cycles. After 2 cycles, pts underwent surgery or received up to 6 cycles of niraparib and/or NACT prior to surgery. Blood samples were collected at screening, Cycle 1 Day 28 (C1D28), Cycle 2 Day 28 (C2D28), and pre-surgery. Ultrasound (USG) was done after each cycle and MRI after Cycle 2. Next-generation sequencing of cell-free plasma DNA was carried out using a proprietary target capture and analysis (Paweletz, Clin Cancer Res 2016). Results: ctDNA and TP53 mutations (TP53m) were detected at screening in 10/21 pts (47.6%). Across all 21 pts there was a correlation between TP53 MAF and baseline tumor stage (T) (mean [standard deviation], T1 0 [0], T2 0.05 [0.09], and T3 0.21 [0.12]; P=0.005). Linear regression modelling showed a positive correlation between tumor volume and baseline TP53 MAF (R2=0.206, P=0.0386). Baseline TP53 MAF also appeared to be associated with advanced disease stage (Table 1). Depletion of detectable TP53m from baseline was evident by C1D28 and persisted to pre-surgery (Table 2). This corresponded with decreases in tumor volume at C1D28 and further decreases at C2D28. Of 11 pts analyzed, 6 pts with &gt;90% tumor volume decreases by MRI or USG at C2D28 had sustained TP53m depletion. Three pts had pCR; of these, 2 had sustained TP53m depletion (data unavailable for third pCR pt). Two pts with less robust tumor responses had increased pre-surgery TP53 MAF. Conclusions: We report the potential utility of ctDNA as a predictive biomarker for neoadjuvant niraparib response in pts with HER2− tBRCAm BC. Although sample size limited analysis of genes other than TP53, baseline ctDNA strongly correlated with tumor volume, and TP53 MAF was associated with tumor volume and trended towards association with disease stage. Longitudinal analysis of TP53 MAF suggested a correlation with niraparib response. Further study of ctDNA dynamics during NACT and correlation with pCR and long-term clinical outcomes is warranted.

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.

Abstract Background: More than two thirds of patients with advanced breast cancer (ABC) have estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2−) tumors. In most countries, current standard-of-care first-line treatments include an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant, a selective ER degrader, combined with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors. Concurrent use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists is recommended for men and premenopausal women with ABC. Nevertheless, almost all ABCs eventually become resistant to endocrine therapy and the disease is incurable in these cases. New therapies are needed to combat endocrine therapy resistance, maintain patient health-related quality-of-life, and delay the need for chemotherapy. AZD9833 (camizestrant) is a highly potent, next-generation selective ER degrader and pure ER antagonist that has demonstrated anticancer properties across a range of preclinical models, including those with ER-activating mutations (Scott et al, AACR 2020). A Phase I dose-escalation and expansion study (SERENA-1) has demonstrated that AZD9833 is well tolerated and has a promising antitumor activity when administered alone or in combination with the cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (Baird et al, SABCS 2020). SERENA-4 (NCT04711252) is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, Phase III trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AZD9833 in combination with palbociclib for patients with ER+/HER2− ABC who have not received systemic treatment in the advanced disease setting. Methods: SERENA-4 will enroll 1342 patients with de novo or recurrent ER+/HER2− ABC who have not previously received systemic treatment for their locoregionally recurrent or metastatic disease. Patients with recurrent disease must have received adjuvant aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen therapy for at least 24 months without relapse. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive oral treatment with either (a) AZD9833 75 mg once daily, palbociclib 125 mg once daily for 21 days followed by 7 days off treatment and a placebo for anastrozole 1 mg once daily or (b) anastrozole 1 mg once daily, palbociclib (same as active arm) and a placebo for AZD9833 75 mg once daily. Men and premenopausal women will also receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS; up to 5 years). Secondary endpoints include overall survival (up to 8 years), second PFS, time to chemotherapy, objective response rate, and changes in health-related quality-of-life measures. Enrollment began in January 2021. As of 02 July 2021, the number of open sites is 57 across 15 countries.

297 Background: MT-5111 is a 55 kD 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 and does not rely on inhibition of kinase signaling or cytoskeletal or DNA damage. Methods: This is a phase 1 study in adult pts with advanced HER2+ solid tumors. The dose-escalation portion (modified 3+3 design) enrolls pts into sequential cohorts followed by expansion cohorts for HER2+ breast cancer (BC), gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEA), and other HER2+ tumors. 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 Sep 2021 (contains preliminary data), 24 pts (mean age 64 yrs) were treated, 13 (54%) of whom had gastrointestinal (GI) tumors (6 biliary, 3 GEA, 2 pancreatic, 2 colo/rectal) (Table). Pts with GI tumors had a median of 3 prior systemic tx and 1 prior HER2-targeting tx. No Grade (G) 4/5 tx-emergent adverse events (AEs) occurred. Tx-related AEs occurred in 13 (54%) pts, most commonly fatigue (n=7, 29%). One pt with biliary cancer and concurrent lymphangitic carcinomatosis and H. influenzae infection (4.5 µg/kg) had a possibly related G3 serious AE (SAE) of dyspnea, which resolved 9 days later. Another related SAE occurred in a pt with GEA (6.75 µg/kg) who had a G1 transient troponin increase that resolved during hospitalization, with no clinical symptoms or ECG/ECHO changes; the pt withdrew from study before further dosing. All other related AEs were ≤G2. No other clinically significant changes in cardiac biomarkers (troponin, ECG, LVEF) or cases of capillary leak syndrome occurred. Two pts (3 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. Cmax data at 10 µg/kg indicate that current in-pt exposure was between IC50 values of high and medium HER2-expressing cell lines (approx 10-89 ng/mL). Thus, at least 10 µg/kg may be required to achieve effective exposure. No dose-limiting toxicities have been observed. The 10 µg/kg cohort is now accruing. Following this cohort, an expansion cohort for pts with BC will open. Conclusions: MT-5111 was well tolerated with no clinically significant immuno/cardiotoxicity. Dose escalation is ongoing and is nearing levels expected to be required for efficacious exposure. Clinical trial information: NCT04029922. [Table: see text]

Abstract This study evaluated neoadjuvant niraparib antitumor activity and safety in patients with localized HER2-negative, BRCA-mutated breast cancer. Twenty-one patients received niraparib 200 mg once daily in 28-day cycles. After 2 cycles, tumor response (≥30% reduction from baseline) by MRI was 90.5% and 40.0% (6/15) of patients who only received niraparib (2–6 cycles) had pathological complete response. No new safety signals were identified and high niraparib intratumoral concentration was observed.
