Abstract
LY2835219 is a novel cell cycle inhibitor selective for the cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6 (CDK4/6), which act in a protein complex with D-type cyclins to enable G1 to S cell cycle progression. Preclinical models indicate this complex plays a critical role in breast cancer. We conducted a phase I study with expansion cohorts to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of LY2835219 in 5 different tumor types: glioblastoma; melanoma; and cancers of the lung, colon/rectum and breast. In the expansion cohorts, LY2835219 was administered continuously at 150-200mg orally every 12 hours on Days 1-28 of a 28-day cycle. RECIST v1.1 was used to assess tumor response. The most common possibly related treatment-emergent adverse events across the expansion cohorts (n=132) included diarrhea (5% G3/4), nausea (3% G3/4), fatigue (2% G3/4), vomiting (2% G3/4) and neutropenia (11% G3/4). In the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) cohort, 47 patients with a median of 7 prior systemic regimens received therapy with LY2835219. Across all MBC patients, 9 achieved a best overall response of confirmed partial response (PR), 24 achieved stable disease (SD), 11 had progressive disease (PD), and 3 were not evaluable for response. Among the 36 HR+ patients, there were 9 confirmed partial responses for an ORR of 25%. In addition, 20 of these 36 HR+ patients (56%) had SD: 7 patients had SD &lt; 24 weeks and 13 patients (including 2 patients with unconfirmed PR) had SD ≥ 24 weeks. The disease control rate (DCR = CR + PR + SD) was 70% for all patients and 81% for HR+ patients. The median PFS was 5.8 months for all patients and 9.1 months for HR+ patients, with 18 HR+ patients (including the 2 unconfirmed PRs) still on LY2835219 therapy (range: 2.8-15.5 months). In conclusion, LY2835219 demonstrates evidence of durable single-agent activity for women with MBC after multiple prior systemic regimens for metastatic disease, particularly for those women with HR+ tumors, and merits further clinical investigation in MBC.
