TPS4174 Background: Recent comprehensive genomic profiling tests have revealed therapeutic target molecules. However, because many targets are present in only a small fraction of patients, a large number of patients need to be screened for enrollment in a single study. In order to overcome this patient identification barrier, the SCRUM-Japan, nationwide large-scale genomic profiling platform, efficiently has been performed umbrella- and basket-type clinical trials. Among the platforms, we have reported that there are BRCA1/2-mutated patients in biliary tract, pancreatic, and other gastrointestinal cancers. Niraparib is an anticancer drug belonging to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Niraparib has been shown to be selective for PARP1/2, to be more cytotoxic among other PARP inhibitor because of its PARP trapping activity. Methods: This is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, three-cohort phase 2 study. Main eligibility criteria are unresectable, advanced or recurrent biliary tract cancers (cohort A), pancreatic cancers (cohort B), and other gastrointestinal cancers (cohort C) with BRCA1/2 gene mutations identified by germline test or genomic profiling test with either circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or tumor tissue, refractory or intolerant to previous treatments, and adequate organ function. Primary endpoint is the investigator-assessed objective response rate in each cohort with a threshold-response rate of 10% and an expected response rate of 35%. Key secondary endpoints are progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, duration of response, and safety. Patients with body weight of 77 kg or more and a platelet count of 150,000 /µL or more receive 300 mg of niraparib, and less than 77 kg or having a platelet count less than 150,000 /µL receive 200 mg of niraparib, orally once daily. Furthermore, pre-treatment tumor tissue and serial ctDNA will be collected and analyzed to investigate the resistance mechanisms and provide clinically meaningful biomarker which may be used for identifying and implementing treatment changes. The trial was initiated in January 2021 with enrollment being ongoing. Thirty-three out of planned 60 patients (cohort A/B/C; 25/25/10, respectively) have been enrolled as of December 2021.

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.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KN046 combined with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine versus placebo combined with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (ENREACH-PDAC-01).

TPS4189 Background: Pancreatic cancer is biologically aggressive, and the majority of pts was diagnosed as locally advanced or metastatic disease. Nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine is a frequently used regimen for advanced pancreatic cancer, but chemoresistance is unavoidable. The combination of immunotherapy with chemotherapy have shown efficacy for certain types of cancer, but no similar results have been obtained in pancreatic cancer. KN046, a novel recombinant humanized bispecific antibody, can simultaneously block PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 pathways and restore T-cell immune response to tumor. In a phase Ⅱ clinical trial (NCT04324307), as of August 10, 2021, 53 pts with unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer had received one cycle KN046 combined AG regimen treatment and 31 subjects had received post-baseline tumor assessment at least once. Objective response rate (ORR) was 45.2% (95% CI: 27.3%, 64.0%) and disease control rate (DCR) was 93.5% (95% CI: 78.6%, 99.2%)，excellent preliminary results have been achieved. Based on this, a phase III pivotal study (ENREACH-PDAC-01) is conducting now in China to verify the efficacy and safety of KN046 plus nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer (NCT05149326). Methods: This nationwide multicenter phase III clinical trial enrolled pts with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas with a WHO performance score of 0 or 1 and expected survival period of more than 3 months. Eligible pts will be randomized 1:1 to intervention group or control group and receive 4-6 cycles of KN046 (5mpk Q2W) or placebo combined with nab-paclitaxel (initial dose: 125mg/m2 D1,8,15 Q4W) and gemcitabine (initial dose: 1000mg/m2 D1,8,15 Q4W) followed by KN046 (5mpk Q2W) or placebo with gemcitabine（QW × 3, 1 week off） maintenance therapy. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up or death, end of study, whichever occurs first. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Key secondary endpoints are ORR and progression free survival (PFS). PFS and ORR will be assessed independently per RECIST v1.1 at screening, every 8 weeks for 1 year and then every 12 weeks until disease progression. Tumor and blood samples will be collected at baseline and during study treatment for pharmacokinetic, immunogenicity and biomarker assessment. The first patient was enrolled in early February 2022. Clinical trial information: NCT05149326.

TPS4614 Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy is the standard of care for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after transurethral resection of bladder tumor. However, disease recurrence or progression is common and patients with BCG-unresponsive disease are unlikely to respond to further BCG therapy. In these patients, the current standard of care is radical cystectomy and bladder-preserving treatment options, limited to intravesical chemotherapy or intravenous pembrolizumab. In a phase 1 study, sasanlimab (PF-06801591), a monoclonal antibody to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), was administered subcutaneously at 300 mg every 4 weeks. Sasanlimab had an acceptable safety profile and showed clinical activity aligned to other anti-PD-1/PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) agents in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer, while offering the convenience of subcutaneous administration. Therefore, CREST Study Cohort B aims to evaluate sasanlimab administered subcutaneously in patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. Methods: CREST Study Cohort B is a non-randomized, multicenter, multinational, open-label, phase 3 study and will enroll ̃160 patients with histologically confirmed BCG-unresponsive, high-risk, non-muscle invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder urothelium (high-grade Ta or T1 tumor, or carcinoma in situ [CIS]) in 2 separate Cohorts, B1 and B2 (̃110 and ̃50 patients, respectively). Cohort B1 will enroll patients with persistent or recurrent CIS with or without concomitant recurrent high-grade Ta/T1 disease, within 12 months of completing adequate BCG therapy. Cohort B2 will enroll patients with recurrent high-grade Ta/T1 disease within 6 months of completing adequate BCG therapy. All patients will receive subcutaneous sasanlimab as a single agent. Efficacy will be assessed at regular intervals by cystoscopy, urine cytology, biopsy, and imaging. The primary endpoint is complete response (CR) and event-free survival (EFS) for Cohort B1 and B2, respectively. Secondary endpoints include duration of CR (Cohort B1 only), EFS (Cohort B1 only), overall survival, time to cystectomy, safety, health-related quality of life, pharmacokinetic parameters, PD-L1 expression, and incidence of anti-drug antibodies. Recruitment of patients in CREST Study Cohort B will be opened in Canada and the United States of America, with other sites in Asia, Australia, and Europe. Clinical trial information: NCT04165317.

Published: June 2022

TPS5095 Background: Most patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) develop bone metastases with debilitating pain that is itself associated with shorter survival. Several bone-seeking radionuclides have been developed for palliation of metastatic bone pain. To date, radium-223 dichloride is the first and only approved targeted alpha therapy for mCRPC; the major dose limitation is bone marrow toxicity with modest pain relief. Sn-117m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DPTA), is a complex of a radioisotope of tin with DTPA. It emits a low-energy conversion electron and also yields a gamma emission. Sn-117m-DPTA localizes selectively in bone, and the limited range (0.2-0.3 mm) of its conversion electrons resulting in deeper tissue penetration with less radiation effects on bone marrow as compared to radium-223 dichloride. Srivastava et al. (1998) reported in a phase I/II study of patients with painful bone metastases from a variety of solid tumors, 45% of patients obtained reduction of pain by at least 50%, and 30% had complete relief of pain for more than two weeks after one injection. Thus, Sn-117m-DTPA has high palliative efficacy with little significant toxicity. Additional evaluation of this agent in mCRPC patients is urgently required. Methods: The study is a phase 2 single-arm clinical trial of Sn-117m-DPTA (20 mCi/70Kg or 0.28 mCi/kg) intravenously every 8 weeks for two injections for patients with mCRPC metastatic to at least two bone sites with at least one clinically meaningful pain site at baseline. Re-treatment with additional two cycles is allowed if patients meet re-treatment criteria. Key eligibility criteria include 1) refractory mCRPC patients who progressed on any lines of therapies 2) self-reported bone pain (≥4 on an 11-point pain intensity scale), and 3) must be on either regular pain medication or have undergone palliative radiation for bone pain within 12 weeks prior to starting study treatment. Key exclusion criteria include 1) visceral metastases and 2) malignant lymphadenopathy exceeding 3cm in short-axis diameter. Twenty-five patients will be enrolled with a primary objective to assess the efficacy of Sn-117m-DTPA on sustained pain response; defined as 1) achieving pain index ≤3 index within a 12-week period and 2) maintaining pain index ≤3 over a 16-week period. Secondary endpoints include patient reported outcomes, adverse events, progression-free survival and overall survival. Correlative aims include assessing blood (systemic inflammatory markers) and tissue biomarkers (gene sequencing and polo-like kinase-1) for association with clinical benefit. An interim analysis will be performed to assess efficacy after 10 patients become evaluable. The study began enrolling patients in December 2021 and is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04616547.

TPS5110 Background: [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 improves outcome in men with metastatic, PSMA positive CRPC post androgen pathway inhibitor therapy and taxane chemotherapy compared to standard care (excluding chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radium-223 and investigational drugs; Sartor et al, NEJM 2021). The relative efficacy, adverse event experience and impact on QOL of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 compared to docetaxel chemotherapy in this patient population is unknown. We hypothesize that [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 will improve radiographic PFS (rPFS) compared to docetaxel chemotherapy with a favourable safety and tolerability profile. Methods: CCTG PR21 is a Canadian Cancer Trials Group randomized phase II trial with a primary objective to compare rPFS between [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 7.4 GBq (+/- 10%) IV q 6 weekly (maximum 6 cycles) versus docetaxel 75 mg/m2 q 3 weekly (maximum 12 cycles). Secondary objectives are to compare the two arms with respect to: 6-month PFS rate (PCWG3 and RECIST 1.1), second rPFS after crossover to the alternate therapy, time to commencement of 3rd line systemic therapy, OS, PSA decline from baseline, clinical benefit rate and adverse events. Tertiary objectives include evaluation of QOL (FACT-P and EQ5D-5L), cost effectiveness, ctDNA and radiographic based prognostic and predictive biomarkers, dosimetry based approach to measurement of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 activity and creation of tissue and image biobanks. Key eligibility criteria include: mCRPC with PSMA positive disease using 18F or 68Ga radionuclide label, progression on ADT + ARPI therapy (using PSA, RECIST 1.1 or PCWG3 criteria) and adequate organ function. Statistical Design: Patients are allocated in 1:1 ratio to [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 or docetaxel balanced for stratification factors of ECOG PS, LDH, visceral metastases, previous docetaxel in the castration sensitive setting > 1 year prior to enrollment as well as centre. Assuming a 6-month median rPFS for the control group, the detection of a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.67 with 80% power using a 1-sided 5% level test will require accrual of 200 participants in 24 months with 12-month follow-up to trigger the primary analysis. Conduct to Date: Study activation Dec 17 2020. Enrollment as of January 31 2022: 25. The DSMC last reviewed and recommended continuation of the trial in December 2021. Clinical trial information: NCT04663997.
Trial in progress update on ENGOT-cx8/GOG-3024/innovaTV 205: Addition of a new cohort with first-line (1L) tisotumab vedotin (TV) + pembrolizumab (pembro) + carboplatin (carbo) ± bevacizumab (bev) in recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC).

TPS5603 Background: Despite the use of platinum-taxane doublets ± bev in eligible patients (pts), overall survival (OS) outcomes for pts with r/mCC remain poor. With the US approval of pembro + chemotherapy ± bev in the 1L setting for r/mCC with ≥1% of programmed death ligand 1–positive cells in the tumor, an unmet need remains for pts who do not meet this threshold and for pts who progress or are intolerant to standard treatment (tx). TV is a tissue factor–directed antibody–drug conjugate that has been granted accelerated approval in the United States for the tx of adults with r/mCC with disease progression on or after chemotherapy. To develop more effective treatments, we investigated TV in combination with agents with known activity in cervical cancer. We conducted a 2-part, multicohort phase 1b/2 trial, ENGOT-cx8/GOG-3024/innovaTV 205 (NCT03786081), to evaluate TV in combination with bev, pembro, or carbo. The phase 1b dose-escalation phase of innovaTV 205 established the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the feasibility of these doublet combinations (Monk et al, IGCS 2021). Moreover, we recently reported encouraging antitumor activity from the dose-expansion cohort of TV + carbo (1L; confirmed objective response rate [ORR], 55%; median duration of response [DOR], 8.3 mo) and TV + pembro (second-line; confirmed ORR, 38%; median DOR, 13.8 mo) (Vergote et al, ESMO 2021). The current report describes the design of a new, ongoing dose expansion cohort in the innovaTV 205 study to evaluate the combinations of TV, pembro, and carbo ± bev. Methods: A new cohort has been added to the innovaTV 205 study, comprising adult pts with recurrent or stage IVB squamous, adenosquamous, or adenocarcinoma of the cervix with no prior systemic therapy and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 0 or 1. Pts will be treated with the RP2D of TV (2.0 mg/kg) + carbo (AUC 5 mg/mL), pembro (200 mg), and bev (15 mg/kg) every 3 weeks or with TV + carbo (AUC 5 mg/mL) and pembro (200 mg). To assess the regimen’s initial tolerability, there will be a dose-limiting toxicity evaluation period that will consist of completion of 1 tx cycle of 21 days for 6 pts enrolled to receive the quadruplet combination. The primary endpoint of this dose expansion phase is confirmed ORR per RECIST v1.1; secondary endpoints include DOR, time to response, progression-free survival, OS, and safety. Enrollment is ongoing in the United States and Europe, with additional sites planned globally. Clinical trial information: NCT03786081.

TPS5606 Background: Ofranergene obadenovec (Ofra-vec, VB-111) is an anti-cancer gene based immune activator and targeted vascular disruptor. The dual mechanism of action triggers a broad antiangiogenic effect and induces of a tumor directed immune response. A phase II trial in patients with platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) demonstrated that ofra-vec in combination with weekly paclitaxel was well tolerated and associated with a CA-125 Objective Response Rate (ORR) of 58%, a trend for improved survival and induction of an immunotherapeutic effect of tumor infiltration with CD-8 T cells. Based on these observations, a pivotal phase III study was initiated in collaboration with the GOG Foundation, Inc. Methods: Study NCT03398655 is an international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase III study. Eligible patients have recurrent PROC and may have been previously treated with up to 5 prior lines of therapy (but not >2 for PROC). Patient are randomized 1:1 to receive ofra-vec (1x1013 Viral Particles) with weekly paclitaxel (80mg/m2), or weekly paclitaxel with placebo. Randomization is stratified by number of prior treatment lines, prior antiangiogenic therapy and platinum refractory disease status. The dual primary endpoints are OS and PFS. A pre-planned interim analysis of CA-125 response (GCIG) performed by the DSMC met the pre-defined criteria showing that CA-125 ORR in the treatment arm was at least 10% higher than in the control arm. Study is enrolling in the US, EU, Japan and Israel, with 90% enrollment to date. Completion of accrual is anticipated in Q1 2022. Clinical trial information: NCT03398655.
