Abstract
Introduction: Somatic mutations in the metabolic enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1 and 2 occur in a spectrum of solid and hematologic malignancies. Mutant IDH1/2 in cancer cells results in the neomorphic production of the oncometabolite, D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which impairs cellular differentiation via an epigenetic mechanism. AG-120 is a first-in-class, oral, potent, reversible and selective inhibitor of mutated IDH1 protein. We report preliminary results from the ongoing, first-in-human, phase 1, open-label, single-arm study of AG-120 (NCT02073994).
Aims: Key objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity. Key exploratory objectives include an analysis of tumor tissue samples in non-glioma subjects and magnetic resonance imagining/spectroscopy (MRI/MRS) in glioma subjects, pre and on AG-120 treatment.
Methods: Patients with advanced, IDH1-mutant solid tumors, including glioma, who have recurred or progressed following standard therapy, or who have not responded to standard therapy, are eligible to receive continuous, single-agent, oral AG-120 dosed daily in 28-day cycles. Informed consent is obtained prior to entry. Sequential dose cohorts are being enrolled, with expansion cohorts planned. Blood and tumor biopsies are collected for PK/PD assessment. Objective responses are investigator assessed using either RECIST or RANO criteria for subjects with solid tumors and gliomas, respectively.
Results: As of 1 July 2015, 55 patients (glioma: 20, non-glioma: 35) were treated with AG-120. Median age was 54 years (range, 23-88) and median number of prior systemic regimens 3 (range, 1-6). Doses administered were 100 mg BID (n = 4), 300 mg QD (n = 9), 400 mg QD (n = 5), 500 mg QD (n = 17), 600 mg QD (n = 5), 800 mg QD (n = 6), 900 mg QD (n = 4), and 1200 mg QD (n = 5). Median treatment duration was 1.9 months (range, 0.1-12.5). The MTD was not reached. PK analyses showed high plasma exposure and drug accumulation following oral administration and a mean half-life of 73.1 ± 66.6 hr. Overall, treatment was well tolerated: 49 patients experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs), regardless of causality. Most frequently occurring AEs (%) were nausea (21.8), diarrhea (16.4), vomiting (14.5), anemia (12.7), and abdominal pain (10.9). There were no treatment-related serious AEs.
Summary/Conclusion: AG-120 is a first-in-class, oral, potent, selective inhibitor of mutant IDH1 in development for solid and liquid tumors. Updated safety and clinical activity, as well as exploratory PD analyses will be presented. Future development plans for AG-120 in solid tumors will also be highlighted.
