259 Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) are produced by bladder cancer cell lines in vitro and expressed in human tumor tissues. Preclinical studies have also shown that bladder cancer cell lines express VEGF receptor 1 and 2 on their surface membrane. Pazopanib is a vascular endothelial receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with anti-angiogenesis and antitumor activity in several preclinical models. A two-stage phase II study was conducted to assess the activity and toxicity profile of pazopanib administered to patients with metastatic, urothelial carcinoma. Methods: Patients with one prior systemic therapy for recurrent, metastatic urothelial carcinoma were eligible. Patients received pazopanib at a dose of 800 mg orally daily for 4 week cycle. Results: Nineteen patients were enrolled. Median age was 66 years, with > 89% of patients presenting poorly differentiated bladder cancer. Adverse event data is available on 18 patients. No grade 4 or 5 events have been experienced. Nine patients have experienced 11 grade 3 adverse events of which 7 were deemed at least possibly related to treatment. Most common toxicities were anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucopenia and fatigue. For stage 1, none of the first 16 evaluable patients were deemed success (CR or PR) by the RECIST criteria during the first four 4-week cycles of treatment. Median progression- free survival was 1.9 months. This met the futility stopping rule of interim analysis, and therefore, the trial was recommended to be permanently closed. Correlative studies including measurement of VEGF levels in archived tissues and blood are pending. Conclusions: Pazopanib did not show activity in urothelial carcinoma patients. The role of anti-VEGF therapies in urothelial carcinoma may need further evaluation in rational combination strategies. [Table: see text]

260 Background: Recent placebo-controlled phase III trials of the mTOR inhibitor everolimus and the VEGF/ PDGF receptor inhibitor sunitinib in PNET noted improved progression-free survival (PFS). However, objective response rates (RR) with these agents are <10%. Preclinical studies suggest enhanced anti-tumor effects with combined mTOR and VEGF targeted therapy. Methods: We conducted a phase II trial of the mTOR inhibitor TEM (25 mg IV q week) and the VEGF-A monoclonal antibody BEV (10 mg/kg IV q 2 weeks) in patients (pts) with well or moderately differentiated PNET and progressive disease by RECIST within 7 months of study entry. Co-primary endpoints were RR and 6-month PFS. Planned enrollment is 50 patients, with interim analysis after the first 25 evaluable pts. Pts had no prior mTOR or VEGF targeted agents, ECOG PS 0-1, and adequate hematologic and organ function. Continued octreotide was allowed, but not required. Prior interferon, embolization, and ≤ 2 chemotherapy regimens were allowed. Results: Confirmed PR was documented in 11 of the first 25 (44%) evaluable patients. 20 of 25 (80%) patients were progression-free at 6 months. Both endpoints exceeded pre-defined criteria to continue enrollment. For 35 evaluable patients, the most common grade 3-4 adverse events attributed to therapy were leukopenia (12%), hypertension (12%), hyperglycemia (12%), mucositis (9%), and fatigue (9%). Conclusions: The combination of TEM/BEV has substantial activity in a multi-center phase II trial with RR of 44%, well in excess of single targeted agents in PNET. 6-month PFS was a notable 80% in a population of patients with RECIST criteria progression within 7 months of study entry.

259 Background: Belinostat is a novel histone deactylase inhibitor which demonstrates preclinical activity in HCC. We report the results of a phase I/II study on belinostat in patients (pts) with unresectable HCC. Methods: Major eligibility criteria included histologically confirmed HCC not amenable to curative treatment; PS ≤ 2; adequate organ function; prior systemic therapy was allowed. In the phase I portion, belinostat was given i.v. on D1-5 every 3 weeks with dose levels of 600, 900, 1200 and 1400 mg/m2/day. In the phase II portion, belinostat was tested at the MTD. Primary endpoint was PFS and secondary endpoints were RR according to RECIST and OS. CT assessment was done every 8 weeks. Results: Phase I portion: a total of 18 pts were accrued; no DLTs were observed at 1400mg/m2/day for 5 days, and this dose was selected for phase II development. Phase II portion: 42 pts were accrued; Median age = 57.5 years; 41 had Child’s A function, and 24 pt had ECOG 0. Sixteen (38%) had previous systemic therapy, and 21 (50%) had previous transarterial therapy. Median follow-up was 20.0 months. The PR and SD rate was 2.4% (1/42) and 45.2% (19/42). Median PFS was 2.64 months (95%C.I. 1.55-3.17) and OS was 6.60 months (95%C.I. 4.53-11.60). Grade 3 or higher toxicities (>5% rate) were abdominal pain (9.5%), (9.5%) hyperbilirubinemia (9.5%), raised ALT (9.5%); anemia (7.1%) and vomiting (7.1%). Conclusions: Belinostat demonstrates disease stabilization in a predominantly pretreated population of pts with unresectable HCC with an acceptable safety profile. Further randomized studies are warranted.Supported in part by N01-CM-62205.

Abstract Background: The combination of a microtubule stabilizing agent and an mTOR inhibitor has been identified as a synergistic combination in preclinical models. Additional studies have further evaluated the impact of treatment sequence with paclitaxel and rapamycin where administration of rapamycin after paclitaxel was associated with synergy. In our preclinical studies, apoptosis was greater with the combination of ixabepilone and temsirolimus than with either single agent. Thus, a Phase I study of the combination of Ixabepilone (IXB) and Temsirolimus (TEM) was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), describe the toxicity profile and characterize the pharmacokinetics of each agent in patients with advanced cancer. Methods: Eligible patients included adults with a histologically confirmed solid tumor malignancy that was metastatic or unresectable who have received ≤ 2 chemotherapy regimens and had ECOG PS ≤ 2 with adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic function. Using a standard 3+3 design, patients were treated with IXB IV over 3 hours on day 1 and TEM IV over 0.5 hours on days 2 and 9 (schedule A) or days 1 and 8 (schedule B) every 21 days. Pharmacokinetics (PK) was performed in patients on schedule B. Results: 22 evaluable patients were enrolled between August 24, 2011 and November 7, 2014. The final 7 patients were treated on schedule B. Patients were treated at 3 dose levels of IXB (mg/m2)/TEM (mg): DL1- 24/15 (A- 6 pts, B- 2 pts); DL2- 32/15 (A- 3 pts, B- 5 pts); DL3- 32/20 (A- 6 pts). One patient had DLT (grade 3 hypophosphatemia) and 1 patient expired due to disease progression in DL1A. No DLTs were seen in DL2A. The dose was escalated to DL3 and 1 patient had DLT (grade 3 hypokalemia). Following a change to schedule B, 5 patients were enrolled to DL2B and 1 experienced DLT (grade 4 neutropenia, grade 4 thrombocytopenia, grade 4 sepsis). The dose was reduced to DL1B and 2 more patients were enrolled, both of whom experienced DLTs (grade 5 bronchopulmonary hemorrhage and grade 4 neutropenia). Grade 4 events considered at least possibly related to treatment occurred in 6 of 22 patients (27%) and included cardiac arrest, dyspnea, hypokalemia, hypoxia, multi-organ failure, decreased platelets, acute renal failure, neutropenia, neutropenic fever, sepsis, and decreased WBCs. Patients received a median of 4 cycles (range, 1-10+). Partial response was noted in 1 patient and stable disease was noted in 11 patients. One patient remains on treatment after 11 cycles. IXB (plasma), TEM (whole blood) and sirolimus (whole blood) concentrations were measured by a sensitive, specific lc/ms/ms assay. A 24 and 32 mg/m2 IXB dose yields Cmax of 159 and 312 ng/ml, respectively. The IXB CLp and t1/2 values were 31 L/h and 76 h, respectively. The Cmax, Cl and t1/2 values after a 15 mg TEM dose were 518 ng/ml, 6.4 L/h and 11 h, respectively. The Cmax and t1/2 values of sirolimus after a 15 mg TEM dose were 37.6 ng/ml and 49 h, respectively. The PK of IXB and TEM in combination were similar to those reported for each drug alone. Conclusions: The reasons for the unpredictable, severe toxicity of the IXB/TEM combination are unclear. The MTD could not be determined, and enrollment was discontinued. This trial exemplifies challenges associated with development of drug combinations with mTOR inhibitors. Supported in part by UM1 CA186686 and P30 CA15083.

Abstract Background: AI's are more effective than TAM in ER+ breast cancer. In AI refractory MBC, the response rate to TAM is 0% (Osborne 2011). Z-Endx is an active metabolite of TAM and among TAM treated women in the adjuvant and metastatic settings, reduced CYP2D6 metabolism and low Endx concentrations (Css &lt;20 nM) have been associated with increased likelihood of disease recurrence. Preclinical studies have demonstrated greater Z-Endx exposure and anti-tumor activity with oral Z-Endx compared to equivalent doses of oral TAM (Reid 2014) Methods: We conducted a phase I trial to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the toxicities, clinical activity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Z-Endx in patients (pts) with ER+, AI refractory MBC. Unlimited prior endocrine regimens were allowed. An accelerated titration schedule was applied (2 pts/dose level) until moderate toxicity or DLT, followed by a 3+3 design and then to expansion cohorts (40, 80, and 100 mg/day). Z-Endx was administered orally once daily (28 day cycle). Eye exams were performed at baseline, and end of cycles 2 and 6. PK was performed during cycle 1 and prior to subsequent cycles. For pts in the expansion cohorts, tumor biopsies were obtained at baseline for DNA sequencing (Foundation Medicine). Plasma cholesterol levels were obtained at baseline and after 1 cycle. Results: From March 2011 to Dec 2014, 41 pts (38 evaluable), median age 60, received Z-Endx once daily encompassing 7 dose levels (20-160 mg/daily). The median number of prior hormonal regimens was 2 and 3 for the dose escalation and expansion cohorts, respectively. Dose escalation was stopped at 160 mg/day given MTD not reached and attainment of mean Endx Css of 3.6 uM. Cycle 1 DLT (PE) was observed in one patient (60 mg). No eye toxicity was observed. PK demonstrated mean Endx Css of &gt; 1 uM at all dose levels ≥ 40 mg/day. Antitumor activity was observed at multiple dose levels including 3 confirmed partial responses and an additional 7 with stable disease for ≥6 cycles. Of these 10 pts, 9 had prior progression on both AI and fulvestrant and 3 additionally on TAM. After 1 cycle, total and LDL cholesterol decreased &gt; 20 points in 54% and 40% of pts, respectively. Tumor sequencing in the expansion cohorts (n=14) did not identify ESR1 mutations; however, ESR1 amplification was identified in 1 pt with prolonged stable disease (&gt;200 days). Of 6 pts with rapid progression (≤2 cycles), 4/6 had either CCND1 amplification (n=1) or at least one of the following activating mutations: ERBB2 L755S (n=1), AKT1 E17K (n=1), MTOR E1799K (n=1). Conclusions: The direct administration of Z-END provides substantial drug exposure, acceptable toxicity, and "proof of principle" antitumor activity in endocrine resistant MBC. While the MTD was not determined, the goal of achieving Endx Css concentrations of &gt; 1 uM was achieved. Tumor sequencing identified pts with predicted and confirmed endocrine resistance.

Abstract Background Activating mutations in PIK3CA occur in approximately 40% ER+BC. MK-2206 (M), a pan-AKT inhibitor, induced apoptosis of ER+ BC under estrogen deprivation in preclinical studies. We conducted this neoadjuvant trial to determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of M plus anastrozole (A) for PIK3CA mutant (Mut) ER+ BC. Methods This single arm open label study of M+A used a 2-stage Simon phase II design (stage 1, n=16; stage 2, n=13, alpha=0.10, power=0.90) to test whether pCR rate &lt;1% (based on historical data with A alone), against the alternative that pCR rate ≥15% in PIK3CA Mut ER+ BC. At least 1 pCR in stage 1 was required to proceed to stage 2. Eligible patients (pts) with clinical stage II or III ER+HER2- BC were pre-registered and proceeded to a research tumor biopsy for PIK3CA sequencing, followed by treatment with daily A monotherapy for 28 days (cycle 0). Pts with PIK3CA Mut BC were subsequently registered, underwent a second biopsy, and started M (150mg PO weekly) with daily A on cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) for a maximum of four 28-day cycles followed by surgery. Goserelin was added for premenopausal pts. A tumor biopsy on C1D17, 17 days post the start of M, was performed. Those with C1D17 Ki67 &gt;10% discontinued study treatment. pCR was defined as no invasive cancer in the breast and the lymph nodes. Tumor specimens collected at all timepoints are being analyzed for markers of proliferation, apoptosis, and PI3K pathway activity, gene expression microarray, intrinsic subtypes, and next generation sequencing of 83 genes. Results Of the 51 pts pre-registered, 35 pts did not register due to no PIK3CA mutation (n=22), inadequate specimen for testing (n=6), physician/pt decision (n=7). The remaining 16 pts (median age: 58, range: 40-77 years) received combination therapy. Three pts did not complete 4 cycles due to C1D17 Ki67 &gt;10% (n=2) and intolerability (grade (Gr) 4 transaminase elevation in C1, n=1). Other severe toxicities possibly related to M included Gr 3 rash (25%) and pruritus (12.5%). Of the 13 pts completed study therapy and underwent surgery, all had residual disease in the breast and 7 also had positive nodes. Table 1 summarized changes in Ki67 during treatment.

Other correlative studies are ongoing and results will be presented. Conclusion Despite the small sample size, biomarker analysis on serial biopsy specimens demonstrated that M+A is unlikely to be more effective than A alone in PIK3CA Mut ER+ BC. This trial demonstrated the feasibility of genomic sequencing for pt selection and the value of a small, well-designed proof-of-principle neoadjuvant trial for the evaluation of targeted agents.

Abstract Purpose: PI3K/AKT pathway activation is an important endocrine resistance mechanism in estrogen receptor–positive (ER+) breast cancer. After promising preclinical modeling of MK-2206, an allosteric pan-AKT inhibitor, with either estrogen deprivation or fulvestrant, we conducted a phase I trial in patients with metastatic ER+HER2− breast cancer to determine the recommended phase II treatment dose (RPTD) of MK-2206 when combined with either anastrozole, fulvestrant, or anastrozole/fulvestrant. Experimental Design: ER+ breast cancer cell lines were exposed in vitro to MK-2206 plus estrogen deprivation with or without fulvestrant and monitored for apoptosis. A standard 3+3 design was employed to first determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-2206 plus anastrozole based on cycle 1 toxicity. Each cycle was 28 days. The RPTD was determined on the basis of toxicities observed at MTD level during the first 3 cycles. Subsequent patients received MK-2206, at the RPTD determined above, plus fulvestrant or anastrozole/fulvestrant to define RPTD for these additional regimens. Results: MK-2206 induced apoptosis in parental ER+ but not in long-term estrogen-deprived cell lines, for which fulvestrant was required for apoptosis induction. Thirty-one patients enrolled. The RPTD was defined as MK-2206 150 mg orally weekly with prednisone prophylaxis for each combination. Grade 3 rash was dose limiting. 42% (95% CI, 23%–63%) patients derived clinical benefit without progression within 6 months. Response was not associated with tumor PIK3CA mutation. Conclusions: MK-2206 plus endocrine treatments were tolerable. MK-2206 in combination with anastrozole is being further evaluated in a phase II neoadjuvant trial for newly diagnosed ER+HER2− breast cancer. Clin Cancer Res; 22(11); 2650–8. ©2016 AACR.

Abstract Purpose: p38 MAPK regulates the production of cytokines in the tumor microenvironment and enables cancer cells to survive despite oncogenic stress, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. Ralimetinib (LY2228820 dimesylate) is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of p38 MAPK. This phase I study aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ralimetinib, as a single agent and in combination with tamoxifen, when administered orally to patients with advanced cancer. Experimental Design: The study design consisted of a dose-escalation phase performed in a 3+3 design (Part A; n = 54), two dose-confirmation phases [Part B at 420 mg (n = 18) and Part C at 300 mg (n = 8)], and a tumor-specific expansion phase in combination with tamoxifen for women with hormone receptor–positive metastatic breast cancer refractory to aromatase inhibitors (Part D; n = 9). Ralimetinib was administered orally every 12 hours on days 1 to 14 of a 28-day cycle. Results: Eighty-nine patients received ralimetinib at 11 dose levels (10, 20, 40, 65, 90, 120, 160, 200, 300, 420, and 560 mg). Plasma exposure of ralimetinib (Cmax and AUC) increased in a dose-dependent manner. After a single dose, ralimetinib inhibited p38 MAPK–induced phosphorylation of MAPKAP-K2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The most common adverse events, possibly drug-related, included rash, fatigue, nausea, constipation, pruritus, and vomiting. The recommended phase II dose was 300 mg every 12 hours as monotherapy or in combination with tamoxifen. Although no patients achieved a complete response or partial response,19 patients (21.3%) achieved stable disease with a median duration of 3.7 months, with 9 of these patients on study for ≥6 cycles. Conclusions: Ralimetinib demonstrated acceptable safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics for patients with advanced cancer. Clin Cancer Res; 22(5); 1095–102. ©2015 AACR.

Abstract Background: PI3K/Akt activation is downstream of the B cell receptor (BCR) signaling cascade and is critical to mediate the interactions between CLL B-cell and bone marrow stroma which support leukemic survival. MK-2206 is a potent oral allosteric Akt inhibitor and we have demonstrated in vitro synergism with bendamustine (B) to induce CLL apoptosis. MK-2206 selectively abolishes BCR-stimulated cytokines CCL3, CCL4, CCL2, and IL-2Ra and significantly inhibits the BCR signaling pathway (Ding, BJH, 2013). We sought to assess the safety, maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and efficacy of MK-2206 in combination with B-rituximab (BR) in relapsed and refractory CLL/SLL patients in a phase I/II trial (NCCTG N1087 Alliance). Methods: Previously treated symptomatic CLL/SLL patients with up to 3 prior lines of therapy and ECOG performance status of 0-2 were eligible. Patients with 17p deletion or prior treatment with B were excluded. A standard phase I design was used to determine the MTD of MK-2206 in combination with BR (B 70mg/m2 for 2 days per cycle; R cycle 1: 375 mg/m2, cycle 2-6: 500 mg/m2). Phase II employed the MTD to evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination. Response was evaluated 2 months after the last cycle of therapy per IWCLL 2008 criteria. Results: 13 patients with a median age of 68 years (range 44-75) and 1.2 prior lines of therapy were treated. CLL FISH showed: del(11q) in 4 (31%), trisomy 12 in 2 (15%), del(13q) in 3 (23%), del(6q) (8%), del(17cen) (8%) and normal results in 2 (15%). IGHV was unmutated in 10 (91%) and mutated in 1 patient (9%) and was missing in 2 cases. ZAP-70 was positive in 8 (73%) and negative in 3 patients (27%). CD38 was positive in 8 (62%) and negative in 5 patients (38%). 70% of patients had received prior chemoimmunotherapy. At 90 mg of MK-2206, 1/6 patients experienced a DLT of grade 3 febrile neutropenia and hemolysis. 2/6 patients on the 135 mg dose experienced a DLT. One patient had grade 3 febrile neutropenia and one patient had a grade 3 acneiform rash. MTD was determined to be MK-2206 90 mg. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (46%) including febrile neutropenia (23%), diarrhea (15%) and thrombocytopenia (15%). The most common all-grade toxicities were neutropenia (69%), thrombocytopenia (62%), anemia (54%), nausea (54%), diarrhea (39%), rash (38%), and hyperglycemia (31%). 10 patients were treated at 90 mg and 3 patients were treated at the 135 mg dose. The ORR was 92% (n=12). Responses were: 3 CR (23%), 2 CR with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi) (15%), 1 clinical CR (CCR) (8%) without marrow confirmation, 1 nodular partial remission (nPR) (8%), 5 PR (38%), and 1 progressive disease (8%). Median follow-up was 20 months (6-31 months). Median PFS in the CR/CRi group was not reached (NR) with 100% of patients progression free versus 12 months (95% CI 2 months-NR) if CR/CRi was not achieved (p=0.027). Median overall survival was NR in either the CR/CRi or non-CR/CRi groups but 2 deaths occurred in the latter group (p=0.44). One patient developed Richter transformation and died at 15 months and a second patient who had achieved PR died from autoimmune hemolytic anemia and fungal infection at 27 months. Two out of five patients who achieved CR or CRi had bone marrow MRD negative status at the final response evaluation. Conclusions: The Akt inhibitor MK-2206 administered at 90 mg once weekly in combination with BR is tolerated in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL and compares favorably to BR alone (59% ORR and 9% CR, Fischer, JCO, 2011). An ORR of 92% was observed with a 38% of patients achieving CR or CRi. The trial was terminated prematurely due to withdrawal of sponsor support, however further testing of Akt inhibition is needed given the promising results. Citation Format: Jeremy T. Larsen, Tait D.
