Abstract Background Adavosertib (AZD1775) is a first-in-class, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of Wee1. Previously we reported safety and efficacy of adavosertib monotherapy in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors (NCT02482311; Bauer et al Cancer Res 2016;76[14 Suppl]); here we report safety and efficacy data from expansion cohorts based on tumor type. Methods A total of 80 pts grouped into 6 biomarker-matched cohorts (Table) received adavosertib (175 mg PO bid; days 1–3 and 8–10 per 21-day cycle). Eligible pts had: confirmed diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); prior treatment (Tx) for metastatic/recurrent disease (≥3 prior Tx for pts with BRCAwt OC; progression following PARPi Tx for BRCA1/2m OC pts; ≤1 chemotherapy-based Tx for SCLC and ≥1 chemotherapy-based Tx for TNBC); measurable disease. Primary objective assessments: ORR; DCR; PFS (RECIST v1.1); safety. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 weeks in year 1 and every 12 weeks thereafter until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Blood and tumor samples were collected for correlative biomarker and pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses. Results Median total Tx duration was 2.4 months. Most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (61%), nausea (50%) and fatigue (43%). Most commonly reported grade ≥3 AEs were diarrhea (7.5%), nausea, fatigue and small intestine obstruction (6%). AEs leading to dose interruptions (22.5%), reductions (11.3%) or discontinuations (16.3%) were reported. The study showed preliminary antitumor activity, particularly in BRCAwt as well as PARPi-failure BRCAm OC pts (Table). PK and biomarker analyses will be presented. Conclusions Adavosertib was generally well tolerated and showed preliminary antitumor activity. DCR was modest across all patient cohorts.
