Abstract Background: Tinengotinib is a novel multiple kinase inhibitor that strongly inhibits Aurora A/B, FGFR1/2/3, VEGFRs, JAK1/2, and CSF1R. Here we present the preliminary safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy data of tinengotinib in patients (pts) with hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC) and triple-negative BC (TNBC) from Phase I TT420X2101 (NCT03654547) and Phase Ib/II TT420X1103 (NCT04742959) trials. Methods: Eligible pts with HR+/HER2- BC or TNBC who have no available standard therapeutic treatment options were enrolled to the TT420X2101 and TT420X1103 trials. Tinengotinib was given as monotherapy at different dose levels (5 mg QD, 10 mg QD and 12 mg QD); different dosing schedule (6 mg BID); and as combination (tinengotinib 8 mg QD and Abraxane 100 mg/m2). Recruitment spanned from January 2019 to March 2023. Results: As of June 2023, 36 pts with metastatic BC were treated: 30 with tinengotinib monotherapy at dose levels of 5 mg QD (n=1), 8 mg QD (n=4), 10 mg QD (n=5), 12 mg QD (n=18), 6 mg BID (n=2) and 6 with tinengotinib 8 mg QD in combination with nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2. Median age 51 years (range 24-75), ECOG PS 1 in 83.3% of pts, median lines of prior therapy were 5, and 77.8% of pts had prior taxanes. Of 30 pts receiving tinengotinib monotherapy, treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 26 (86.7%) pts. 43.4% were Grade (G) 1-2, 43.3% were G3. No G4 or G5 TRAEs were reported. Common TRAEs (≥20%) of tinengotinib monotherapy were hypertension (60.0%), stomatitis (50.0%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (46.7%) and diarrhea (20.0%). All six (100%) pts receiving tinengotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel experienced TRAEs, 16.7% were G1, 66.7% were G3, no G4 TRAEs, and one pt had G5 (pulmonary hemorrhage). Common TRAEs (≥20%) of tinengotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel were neutrophil count decreased/neutropenia (50.0%), stomatitis (50.0%), hypertension (33.3%), hyponatremia (33.3%), hypokalemia (33.3%), and nausea (33.3%). Twenty-eight pts receiving tinengotinib monotherapy were efficacy evaluable. 11 pts with HR+/HER2- BC achieved objective response rate (ORR) of 45.5%, clinical benefit rate (CBR, CR+PR+SD ≥ 24 weeks) of 54.5% and median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 5.55 (95% CI 1.97-6.18) months. Partial responses were seen in 3 pts with HER2-zero (n=5) and 2 pts with HER2 low (1+/2+) pts (n=6), respectively. 17 pts with TNBC had ORR of 23.5%, CBR of 29.4% and mPFS of 2.73 (95% CI 1.68-6.41) months. In 6 pts treated with tinengotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel, one out of 2 pts with HR+/HER2- BC achieved PR for 13 weeks as of data cutoff; two out of 4 pts with TNBC had SD. No significant difference in exposure was observed between tinengotinib monotherapy and tinengotinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel. Conclusions: Tinengotinib for the treatment of HR+HER2- BC or TNBC, whether as monotherapy or in combination with nab-paclitaxel, had manageable side effects. Tinengotinib has shown promising clinical benefit in heavily pre-treated pts with refractory HR+HER2- BC or TNBC. Clinical benefit was similar across the subgroups of pts with HR+ HER2-zero and HR+ HER2 low disease.
