Abstract
3010 Background: XMT-1536 is a Dolaflexin ADC targeting the sodium-phosphate cotransporter NaPi2b, expressed in ovarian, non-squamous lung, papillary thyroid, endometrial, papillary renal and salivary duct cancers. Methods: In this ongoing Phase 1 study, pts with solid tumors likely to express NaPi2b, who progressed on standard therapy, are treated with intravenous XMT-1536 using a 3+3 design with a modified Fibonacci escalation. NaPi2b expression by IHC is being examined retrospectively in archived tumors. Primary objectives in dose escalation are safety and tolerability and determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03319628). Results: As of Jan. 28, 2019, 36 pts (22 ovarian, 7 endometrial, 4 NSCLC, 3 other) have received treatment with XMT-1536. Treatment was initially given every 3 weeks (q3w); 20 pts were treated in dose cohorts from 3 to 40 mg/m2. There was one DLT of reversible AST elevation at 40 mg/m2. The dosing interval was then changed to every 4 weeks (q4w), and dose escalation was restarted at 20 mg/m2. There was one DLT of reversible AST elevation at 30 mg/m2 on the q4w schedule. Further followup and dose escalation are ongoing. The most common (≥10% of patients) treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) have been nausea, fatigue, headache, increased AST, anorexia, increased alkaline phosphatase, fever, increased GGT, myalgia, and vomiting. Grade 3 TRAEs were reversible AST increases in 3 patients and increased GGT, decreased lymphocytes, and systolic congestive heart failure in 1 patient each. Treatment-related serious AEs of fever and systolic congestive heart failure occurred in 1 patient each. Among patients dosed at 20 mg/m2 or higher who had restaging scans (n=20), there were 2 PR, in ovarian cancer pts at 30 mg/m2 q3w and 20 mg/m2 q4w, and 11 SD, with disease control maintained for up to 24 weeks. Patient-level results for NaPi2b expression will be presented. The systemic exposure of total payload showed approximately dose-proportional increase. Plasma concentration of free drug payload and its active metabolite were low. Conclusions: XMT-1536 has been well-tolerated up to the 30 mg/m2 dose level with early signs of anti-tumor activity. Dose escalation continues in pts with advanced solid tumors likely to express NaPi2b. Clinical trial information: NCT03319628.

Abstract
TPS1103 Background: The mTOR inhibitor Ev, combined with Ex, is a mainstay in the treatment of post-menopausal women with advanced HR+/HER2- BC. However, the activity of Ev is limited by counter-regulatory feedback mechanisms in cancer cells, involving reactivation of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)/mTOR survival signaling. Combining Ev with the humanized IGF-1 and IGF-2 ligand-blocking antibody Xe abrogates this feedback, thus intensifying inhibition of tumor growth; this leads to a pronounced effect in patients with non-visceral (e.g., bone and lymph node) metastases. The phase II XENERA-1 trial evaluates the combination of Xe with Ev and Ex in post-menopausal women with HR+/HER2- BC. Methods: XENERA-1 (NCT03659136) is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of Xe in combination with Ev and Ex, in post-menopausal women with HR+/HER2- locally advanced/mBC and non-visceral disease. The population comprises post-menopausal mBC patients who have progressed on ≤1 previous line of a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, with or without a CDK 4/6 inhibitor, who may have received fulvestrant. Other inclusion criteria are: an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 or 1; adequate organ function; and non-visceral disease (absence of brain, liver, lung, peritoneal or pleural metastases). Patients are randomized (1:1) to receive Xe (1000 mg/week, iv) or placebo (weekly, iv), in combination with Ev (10 mg/day) and Ex (25 mg/day). Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or other reasons. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, by independent review. Secondary endpoints are: overall survival; disease control; duration of disease control; objective response; and time to progression of pain/intensification of palliation. Safety and pharmacokinetic endpoints, and exploratory biomarkers will also be evaluated. The first patient was enrolled in January 2019; target enrollment is 80 patients in 12 countries. Clinical trial information: NCT03659136.

Abstract
e18065 Background: Utilization of NGS-based testing for patients in community oncology settings continues to grow. A comprehensive analysis of the molecular landscape of > 14,000 patients with commercial tissue-based and plasma-based NGS (tbNGS and pbNGS) testing from Sarah Cannon’s (SC) network of community oncologists between 2012 and 2018 was performed. These data aid clinical trial design/feasibility and identify rare and actionable mutations in the community oncology setting. Methods: Medical Oncologists in the SC network ordered NGS-based molecular profiling for their patients as standard of care. Data from multiple commercial vendors starting in 2012 were harmonized and analyzed. Results: On average, tbNGS (n = 8938) and pbNGS (n = 5419) tests revealed 14 and 4 mutations/sample, respectively. The top 10 mutated genes from both tbNGS and pbNGS - tests are in the table. The most predominant mutation-types detected were SNVs in both tbNGS and pbNGS tests, and gene amplifications were detected in ~40% of tbNGS and ~22% of pbNGS tests. MET amplifications (range: 2 - 40 copies (pbNGS) and 6 - 82 copies (tbNGS)) and ERBB2 amplifications (range: 2.1 - 90.2 copies (pbNGS) and 4 - 293 copies (tbNGS)) were detected in 1.6% (MET-tbNGS) and 4.6% (MET-pbNGS) and 4.2% (ERBB2-tbNGS) and 2.69% (ERBB2-pbNGS) of patients, respectively, and informed clinical trial enrollment. Of the fusions detected, 28 NTRK rearrangements were detected (NTRK1 – 16, NTRK2 – 5, NTRK3 – 7) by tissue-based testing and 3 (NTRK1) fusions were detected by plasma-based tests. Conclusions: These data describe the mutational landscape of NGS tests ordered within community oncology practices. SC’s data infrastructure links NGS-based testing data and clinical data to support real world evidence research, and highlights the need for healthcare IT systems to marry clinical and genomic data for clinical decision support and clinical research.

Abstract
2523 Background: T-cell targeting of mutation-derived epitopes (neoantigens) has been demonstrated to drive anti-tumor responses. Immunizing patients against such neoantigens in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) may elicit greater anti-tumor responses than CPI alone. Mutations are rarely shared between patients, thus requiring a personalized approach to vaccine design. Methods: A phase I dose escalation study of mRNA-4157 as adjuvant monotherapy in patients with resected solid tumors (melanoma, bladder carcinoma, HPV negative HNSCC, NSCLC, SCLC, MSI-High, or TMB High cancers) and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer is being conducted to evaluate safety. mRNA-4157 is a lipid encapsulated personalized vaccine encoding multiple neoantigens selected using a proprietary algorithm designed to induce neoantigen specific T cells and associated anti-tumor responses. Patients may receive up to 9 cycles (Q3W) of mRNA-4157 by intramuscular injection (0.04 – 1 mg). In the combination arm, pembrolizumab (200 mg) is administered for two cycles prior to combination with mRNA-4157; patients may continue pembrolizumab after completion of 9 cycles of combination therapy. Primary end points include safety, tolerability, and recommended phase 2 dose. Results: 33 patients received mRNA-4157; 13 as monotherapy and 20 in combination with pembrolizumab. No DLTs were reported, and treatment related AEs have generally been of low grade and reversible, and no drug related SAEs or AEs ≥ grade 3 have been observed. Of the 13 patients on adjuvant monotherapy (3 melanoma, 8 NSCLC, 2 MSI-High), 12 patients remain disease free on study, median follow-up of 8 months. 20 patients have been treated in combination (1 TMB-high, 4 bladder, 2 HNSCC, 1 melanoma, 7 NSCLC, 2 SCLC, 3 MSI-high), 12 had progressed on prior CPI, 16 have been restaged and there are 1 CR (on pembrolizumab prior to vaccination), 2 PR, 5 SD for at least 5 combination cycles, 5 PD, 2 iuPD, and 1 patient is non-evaluable for response but remains on study. Neoantigen specific T cell responses have been detected by IFN-γ ELISpot from PBMCs. Conclusions: mRNA-4157 is safe and well tolerated at all dose levels tested. Clinical responses have been observed in combination with pembrolizumab and neoantigen-specific T cells have been induced, supporting the advancement of mRNA-4157 to phase 2. Clinical trial information: NCT03313778.

Abstract
e18064 Background: As the price of NGS-based sequencing technologies falls, adoption of those technologies is predicted to increase. To date, a survey of the adoption and utilization of NGS-based technologies as a part routine oncology clinical care has not been performed. Thus, a comprehensive analysis of physician adoption and utilization of commercial NGS testing in the community-setting between 2012 and 2018 was performed. Methods: Medical Oncologists in the Sarah Cannon Research Institute network ordered commercially-available NGS-based molecular profiling for their patients as standard of care. Data use agreements were initiated between SCRI, affiliated medical oncology practices, and commercial NGS testing providers, and patient NGS data were subsequently analyzed starting in 2012. Results: Community-based NGS testing rates within the Sarah Cannon network were 5.75/month in 2012 and 440/month in 2018. Plasma-based NGS testing began in 2014 and comprised 4.9% of total testing compared to 40.1% in 2018. The number of oncologists ordering molecular profiles increased from 11 in 2012 to 269 in 2018. Physician test utilization grew from an average of 6 tests/physician to 22 tests/physician in 2012 and 2018, respectively. NGS tests were performed on 34 different tumor types and biopsies were taken from both primary (~40%) and metastatic (~60%) sites . Tissue-based tests averaged 14 mutations/sample while plasma-based tests averaged 4 mutations/sample. There was a 74% decrease in median time between biopsy collection and NGS test results between 2012 and 2018 (131 and 34 days, respectively), indicating a shift toward the use of fresh – non-archival – tissue in recent years. Conclusions: These data establish NGS-based testing trends in community oncology practices and show that NGS-based tumor testing utilization has increased in the community-setting between 2012 and 2018. NGS testing is performed on a wide array of tumor types and oncologists utilize fresher biopsies.

Abstract
4510 Background: Infigratinib (BGJ398) is a potent and selective FGFR1–3 inhibitor with significant activity in patients (pts) with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) bearing FGFR3 alterations [Pal et al 2018]. Given the distinct biologic characteristics of upper tract UC (UTUC) and urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB), we sought to determine if infigratinib had varying activity in these settings. Methods: Eligible pts had mUC with activating FGFR3 mutations/fusions and prior platinum-based chemotherapy, unless contraindicated. Pts received infigratinib 125 mg orally daily (3 wks on/1 wk off). Overall response rate (ORR: CR+PR) and disease control rate (DCR; CR+PR+SD) were characterized in UCB and UTUC pts. Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed on FFPE tissues in a CLIA-certified lab (Foundation Medicine; Cambridge, MA). Blood was collected for cell-free (cf)DNA analysis using a 600-gene panel on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer. Results: 67 pts were enrolled; the majority (70.1%) had received ≥2 prior antineoplastic therapies. ORR was 25.4% and DCR was 64.2%. In the 8 pts with UTUC, 1 CR and 3 PRs were observed (ORR 50%); the remainder had a best response of SD (DCR 100%). UTUC pts were predominantly 2nd line (62.5%), with only 2 (25%) showing response to previous treatment. In pts with UCB, 13 PRs were observed (ORR 22%), and 22 pts had a best response of SD (DCR 59.3%). Notable differences in genomic alterations between cohorts included a higher frequency of FGFR3-TACC3 fusions (12.5% vs 5.8%) and FGFR3 R248C mutations (50% vs 11.5%), and a lower frequency of FGFR3 S249C mutations (25% vs 59.6%) in UTUC vs UCB. Consistent with previous reports [Sfakianos et al 2016], UTUC pts had a differential frequency of alterations in HRAS, CDKN2B and ARID1A. Sufficient cfDNA yield was obtained in UTUC and UCB pts and a comprehensive comparison of these data will be presented. Conclusions: Differences in cumulative genomic profile were observed between UCB and UTUC in this FGFR3-restricted experience, underscoring the distinct biology of these diseases. Results with infigratinib in UTUC support a planned phase III adjuvant study predominantly in this population. Clinical trial information: NCT01004224.

Abstract
3098 Background: Aurora kinase B (AURKB) represents a potential target for therapy in solid and hematological malignancies. AURKB inhibitor AZD1152 (barasertib) was previously investigated in solid tumor pts in a phase I setting. AZD2811-nanoparticle (np) is a novel, encapsulated slow release AURKB inhibitor offering several advantages over AZD1152 (Ashton S et al., Sci Transl Med 2016). We report the completed dose-escalation safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary activity and defined maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AZD2811-np in pts with advanced solid tumors (NCT02579226). Methods: Adult pts with advanced solid tumors received AZD2811-np IV on Day 1 (D1) and 4 (D4) Q4 week (wk) in six cohorts 15-200 mg/infusion without the use of g-csf in cycle 1. D1 Q4wk and Q3wk schedules were investigated up to 600 mg/infusion (including cohorts with mandatory g-csf prophylaxis on day 8). A standard 3+3 design was used. PK was assessed in cycle 1. Results: 50 pts were recruited into 12 cohorts. D1, D4 Q4wk schedule: 24 pts (15, 25,38, 50, 100 mg/infusion (n=3/cohort), 200 mg/infusion (n=9)). All cohorts were tolerated. Transient grade 4 neutropenia was observed in 7/9 pts at 200 mg/infusion, including 1 DLT (gr4 > 7 days) D1 Q4wk: 200 mg(n=3) was tolerated. D1 Q3wk: 23 pts were evaluated (200/400 mg (n=3,7), and 400/600/500 mg with mandatory g-csf (n=3/5/6)). 400 mg without g-csf was not tolerated (1 gr3 mucosal inflammation & 1 gr4 neutropenia > 7 days). 600 mg with g-csf was not tolerated (gr3 febrile neutropenia & gr3 fatigue). 25/50 pts experienced AE ≥gr 3 (21 considered AZD2811-np-related, 19 neutropenia-related, no deaths within-DLT period). AZD2811-np caused transient gr1/2 fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea and mucosal inflammation. AZD2811 total blood PK appears dose proportional with a t1/2 of 30-50 hours irrespective of schedule. Released AZD2811 concentrations ~1% of total. 14 pts (28%) had disease stabilisation. 1 prostate ca. pt had a confirmed partial response (PR) (continued tx to 451 days). Conclusions: The MTD for AZD2811-np is 500 mg D1 Q3wk. AZD2811-np is now being investigated in a small cell lung cancer expansion. Clinical trial information: NCT02579226.

Abstract
1042 Background: Few real-world studies have characterized the frequency of genomic alterations of MBC tumors. Data characterizing alterations before and after treatment containing a CDK4 & 6 inhibitor (CDK4 & 6i) are similarly limited. We explore the genomic landscape of HR+/HER2- MBC tumors from patients (pts) treated with a CDK4 & 6i in order to characterize potential mechanisms underlying sensitivity and resistance. Methods: NGS results of tumor and liquid biopsies obtained from 130 pts with estrogen receptor (ER+)/progesterone receptor (PR+)/HER2- MBC between Jan 2008 to Sept 2016 were analyzed. All pts received therapy containing a CDK4 & 6i for MBC at a community cancer network and had NGS results available before and/or after exposure to CDK4 & 6i. Samples were classified as sensitive (n = 69; duration of therapy ≥6 mo) or resistant (n = 61; duration of therapy < 6 mo). The frequency of genomic alterations with likely or known significance including short variants, indels, copy number variants, and fusions were characterized. Results: Alterations in 215 unique genes were identified from the NGS results; PIK3CA, TP53, ESR1, CCND1, and FGFR1 were the most frequently altered genes. Select alterations in ESR1 (n = 21 vs 9) and RAD21 (n = 5 vs 0) were more frequent after exposure to CDK4 & 6i. In NGS obtained before exposure to CDK4 & 6i, alterations in select genes including RB1, MDM2, AURKA, and MYC were more frequent in the resistant samples, whereas ARID1A alterations were more frequent in sensitive samples. Of the 6 pts with paired NGS samples pre- and post-CDK4 & 6i treatment, alterations in MYC, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, BRCA1, or RB1 were acquired in 3 pts. Conclusions: Based on real-world data, this study describes the genomic landscape of ER+/PR+/HER2- MBC tumors from pts treated with CDK4 & 6i and identifies potential mechanisms underlying sensitivity and resistance to this new class of drugs. Further evaluation in larger datasets is warranted. Data inclusive of other ER/PR subtypes will be presented.

Abstract
e14705 Background: Ciclopirox Prodrug (CPX-POM) is a novel anticancer agent currently being evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumors participating in a First-in-Human, Phase 1 safety, dose tolerance, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics trial at four US sites. In vitro and in vivo preclinical proof of principle was established in high grade human urothelial cancer cell lines as well as a mouse model of bladder cancer.Methods: A series of in vivo PK studies were conducted in mice, rats and dogs to characterize the absolute bioavailability of CPX following intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC) and oral administration of CPX-POM. The single dose and steady-state plasma and urine pharmacokinetics of CPX-POM are also currently being characterized in patients participating in the ongoing Phase 1 trial. Plasma and urine concentrations of the prodrug and metabolites were determined by LC-MS/MS validated in each specie and matrix. Non-parametric pharmacokinetic parameters were generated from resultant plasma and urine drug and metabolite concentration-time data. Results: CPX-POM is rapidly and completely metabolized to CPX in blood via circulating phosphatases in animals and humans. CPX is completely bioavailable following IV CPX-POM administration in mice, rats and dogs. CPX and its major inactive glucuronide metabolite (CPX-G) are extensively eliminated in urine in all animal species. SC administration of CPX-POM demonstrated excellent bioavailability in rats and dogs. Following IV administration of 30-900 mg/m2CPX-POM to patients, the apparent elimination half-life of CPX ranged from 2 to 8 hours, CPX systemic exposure was dose-proportional and time-independent in cancer patients, and a major portion of the dose was eliminated as CPX-G. Conclusions: IV CPX-POM achieves plasma and urine CPX exposures that exceed in vitro IC50 values several-fold at well tolerated doses in animals and humans. CPX pharmacokinetics observed in animals were predictive of human systemic clearance based on allometric scaling. Clinical trial information: NCT03348514.

Abstract
3580 Background: The multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase 3 EPIC study (EMR 062202-025) investigated cetuximab + irinotecan vs irinotecan as a second-line (2L) therapy in pts with EGFR-detectable mCRC. A retrospective analysis in the EPIC RAS wt population showed improved overall response rate (29.4% vs 5.0%) and progression-free survival (5.4 vs 2.6 mo) upon the addition of cetuximab to irinotecan. Median OS (mOS) was similar in both treatment arms, possibly due to differences in subsequent therapies. We present OS by post-study therapy in the RAS wt population. Methods: 1298 RAS-unselected pts were enrolled from May 2003 to February 2006. The primary endpoint was OS. RAS status was determined retrospectively in 2018 from existing DNA samples using BEAMing technology; wt status was defined as having a sum of mutated RAS allele frequencies of ≤5%, with all relevant alleles being analyzable. Results: Among the 452 pts with RAS wt mCRC, 231 received cetuximab + irinotecan and 221 received irinotecan. Baseline characteristics were similar in both arms. OS data by post-study therapy are summarized in the Table. No new or unexpected safety signals were observed. Conclusions: Post-study cetuximab was associated with improved OS in both treatment arms compared with post-study therapy without cetuximab and no subsequent therapy, suggesting that cetuximab-based therapy may be suitable as a standard treatment for pts with RAS wt mCRC in the rechallenge setting. Study limitations include a potential bias due to the differences in proportion of subsequent therapies with and without cetuximab between arms (almost 50% of pts in the irinotecan arm received post-study cetuximab) as well as the likelihood for pts who live longer to receive cetuximab in any subsequent therapy line.

1030 Background: Previous studies have shown that 44-71% of trastuzumab (T)-treated pts develop HER2-specific immunity (Clin Cancer Res 2007, 13:5133; Cancer Res 2016, 76:3702; Breast Cancer Res 2018, 20:52). M is an Fc-engineered mAb that shares similar HER2 binding and antiproliferative activity as T. The Fc region of M has been engineered for increased affinity to the activating FcγRIIIA (CD16A) and lower binding to the inhibitory FcγRIIB (CD32B), attributes that may enhance the mAb’s immune function, such as antigen presentation. Methods: HER2+ cancer pts who progressed on prior therapy received M (0.1-6 mg/kg QW for 3 of every 4 weeks [N = 34]; or 10-18 mg/kg Q3W [N = 32]) in phase 1 trial NCT01148849. PBMC and plasma were collected pre-dose and 50 days post-dose for 46 pts and > 4 years for 3 pts on long-term treatment. Response to HER2 or control antigens (Ag) was assessed by IFNγ ELISpot and antibody (Ab) ELISA. In 14 pts, T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire was assessed by immunosequencing. Results: Following M treatment, mean frequencies of IFNγ-producing T cells specific for intra- or extracellular fragments of HER2 increased by 2.5 to 6-fold (p < 0.0027, paired t test). Most (95%) of subjects responded to ≥2 of 6 (median = 5) HER2 Ag. Mean HER2-specific Ab concentration increased by 19-54% (p < 0.0001), with all subjects responding to ≥2 (median = 5) of the 6 Ag. A small 1.6-fold increase in IFNγ response to control CMV/EBV/Flu (but not tetanus or cyclin D1) peptides was observed; no increase in Ab response to control Ag was noted. Subsets of HER2-specific T-cell and Ab responses persisted during long-term treatment. Median TCR clonality increased by 54% (p = 0.003), with an average of 125 unique clones expanding, while overall TCR diversity remained unchanged (p = 0.19). Conclusions: Treatment of HER2+ cancer with M was associated with enhanced HER2-specific T-cell and Ab responses together with increased TCR clonality, indicative of a more focused T-cell repertoire. The high frequency of HER2-specific immunity in M-treated patients ( > 95%) is consistent with its enhanced Fc region contributing to linkage of innate and adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
PF-06647263, a novel antibody-drug conjugate consisting of an anti-EFNA4 antibody linked to a calicheamicin payload, has shown potent antitumor activity in human xenograft tumor models, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In the dose-escalation part 1 of this multicenter, open-label, phase I study (NCT02078752), successive cohorts of patients (n, 48) with advanced solid tumors and no available standard therapy received PF-06647263 every 3 weeks (Q3W) or every week (QW), following a modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI) method (initial dosing: 0.015 mg/kg Q3W). Primary objective in part 1 was to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In part 2 (dose-expansion cohort), 12 patients with pretreated, metastatic TNBC received PF-06647263 at the RP2D to further evaluate tumor response and overall safety. PF-06647263 QW administration (n, 23) was better tolerated than the Q3W regimen (n, 25) with only 1 DLT reported (thrombocytopenia). The most common AEs with the QW regimen (fatigue, nausea, vomiting, mucosal inflammation, thrombocytopenia, and diarrhea) were mostly mild to moderate in severity. The MTD was not estimated. PF-06647263 exposures increased in a dose-related manner across the doses evaluated. The RP2D was determined to be 0.015 mg/kg QW. Six (10%) patients achieved a confirmed partial response and 22 (36.7%) patients had stable disease. No correlations were observed between tumor responses and EFNA4 expression levels. Study findings showed manageable safety and favorable PK for PF-06647263 administered QW at the RP2D, with preliminary evidence of limited antitumor activity in patients with TNBC and ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In Phase III trials, ribociclib (RIB; cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor) + various endocrine therapy (ET) partners has demonstrated significantly prolonged progression-free survival vs placebo (PBO) + ET in patients (pts) with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2–) advanced breast cancer (ABC). Here we further evaluate the safety of RIB-based regimens of interest for the proposed indication (i.e. with a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor [NSAI] or fulvestrant [FUL]) using pooled data from three Phase III trials (MONALEESA [ML]-2 [NCT01958021], -3 [NCT02422615], and -7 [NCT02278120]).
Methods: Postmenopausal pts with HR+, HER2– ABC received RIB (600 mg/day; 3-weeks-on/1-week-off) or PBO + letrozole (LET; 2.5 mg/day; ML-2 [no prior ET for ABC]) or FUL (500 mg, Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1, then Day 1 of every cycle thereafter; ML-3; no or ≤1 prior line of ET for ABC]). Premenopausal pts (ML-7; no prior ET and ≤1 chemotherapy for ABC]) received RIB or PBO + anastrozole (1 mg/day)/LET (2.5 mg/day) + goserelin (3.6 mg every 28 days). Adverse events (AEs) were characterized per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03; safety analyses included time to first event, duration of event, and rate of associated RIB/PBO discontinuations.
Results: Data for 1883 pts were pooled; 1065 pts received RIB + ET and 818 pts received PBO + ET (median exposure to study treatment: 17 and 13 months, respectively). Exposure-adjusted incidence rates for AEs of special interest were 561 and 131 per 100 pt-years in the RIB and PBO arms, respectively. The most common all-causality Grade 3/4 AEs (≥10% in any arm; RIB vs PBO) were neutropenia (59% vs 2%), leukopenia (18% vs 1%), and hypertension (13% vs 13%). A new Fridericia's corrected QT interval (QTcF) >480 ms occurred in (n/N) 52/1054 (5%) vs 11/814 (1%) pts in the RIB vs PBO arms; a new QTcF >500 ms occurred in 14/1054 (1%) vs 1/814 (<1%) pts. Median time to first event for Grade ≥2 neutropenia, elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and QTc prolongation in the RIB arm was 2, 12, and 2 weeks, respectively; median duration of first Grade ≥2 event was 4, 4, and 2 weeks. In the RIB arm vs PBO arms, 7% vs 3% of pts discontinued study treatment due to AEs; common all-grade AEs leading to RIB/PBO discontinuation (≥2% in any arm) were elevated ALT (4% vs <1%) and elevated AST (2% vs 1%). Discontinuation due to QT prolongation occurred in 4 pts in the RIB arm and 2 in the PBO arm (both <1%). All-grade serious AEs occurred in 25% of pts in the RIB arm vs 15% of pts in the PBO arm.
Conclusions: RIB in combination with various ET partners continues to demonstrate a predictable and manageable tolerability profile across a broad population of pts with HR+, HER2– ABC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Patients (pts) with advanced breast cancer (ABC) who present with visceral metastases (mets) have a poorer prognosis vs pts with non-visceral disease. In the Phase III MONALEESA (ML) trials, ribociclib (RIB) + endocrine therapy (ET) prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) vs placebo (PBO) + ET in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2–) ABC. Here we show data for pts with and without visceral mets from the ML-2, -3, and -7 trials.
Methods: Data were collated from 3 trials in HR+, HER2– ABC: in ML-2 (NCT01958021; data cutoff [DCO] Jan 2/4, 2017), postmenopausal pts (no prior ET for ABC) received RIB or PBO + letrozole; in ML-3 (NCT02422615; DCO Nov 3, 2017), postmenopausal pts (no prior ET for ABC subgroup only) received RIB or PBO + fulvestrant; in ML-7 (NCT02278120; DCO Aug 20, 2017), premenopausal pts (no prior ET and ≤1 chemotherapy for ABC) received RIB or PBO + goserelin + anastrozole/letrozole. Endpoints; primary: local PFS; secondary: overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), safety.
Results: Of all 820 pts treated with RIB + ET, 484 (59%) had visceral mets (ML-2 197/334; ML-3 137/238; ML-7 150/248); of all 710 pts treated with PBO + ET, 416 (59%) had visceral mets (ML-2 196/334; ML-3 77/129; ML-7 143/247). Median PFS was prolonged for RIB vs PBO in pts with and without visceral mets (Table). ORR and CBR were also higher for RIB vs PBO in pts with and without visceral mets. The most common (≥10% of pts in any arm) Grade [G] 3 and 4 adverse events (AEs) for each trial are shown in the table; no G4 AEs occurred in ≥10% of pts in ML-3.

Abstract
Importance The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is frequently activated in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancers. Objective To assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, and activity of alpelisib, an oral, PI3Kα-specific inhibitor, plus fulvestrant in patients with ER+ advanced breast cancer (ABC). Design, Setting, and Participants An open-label, single-arm, phase 1b study of alpelisib plus fulvestrant was conducted at 10 centers in 5 countries. Participants were 87 postmenopausal women with PIK3CA-altered or PIK3CA-wild-type ER+ ABC, whose cancer progressed during or after antiestrogen therapy. The study began enrolling patients October 5, 2010, and the data cutoff was March 22, 2017. Interventions Escalating doses of alpelisib were administered once daily, starting at 300 mg, plus fixed-dose fulvestrant, 500 mg, in the dose-escalation phase; alpelisib at the recommended phase 2 dose plus fulvestrant in the dose-expansion phase. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was determination of the MTD of once-daily alpelisib plus fulvestrant. Secondary end points included safety and preliminary activity. Results From October 5, 2010, to March 22, 2017, 87 women (median age: 58 years [range, 37-79 years]; median of 5 prior lines of antineoplastic therapy) received escalating once-daily doses of alpelisib (300 mg, n = 9; 350 mg, n = 8; 400 mg, n = 70) plus fixed-dose fulvestrant (500 mg). During dose escalation, dose-limiting toxic effects were reported in 1 patient (alpelisib, 400 mg): diarrhea (grade 2), vomiting, fatigue, and decreased appetite (all grade 3). The MTD of alpelisib when combined with fulvestrant was 400 mg once daily, and the recommended phase 2 dose was 300 mg once daily. Overall, the most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events with alpelisib, 400 mg, once daily (≥10% of patients), regardless of causality, were hyperglycemia (19 [22%]) and maculopapular rash (11 [13%]); 9 patients permanently discontinued therapy owing to adverse events. Median progression-free survival at the MTD was 5.4 months (95% CI, 4.6-9.0 months). Median progression-free survival with alpelisib, 300 to 400 mg, once daily plus fulvestrant was longer in patients with PIK3CA-altered tumors (9.1 months; 95% CI, 6.6-14.6 months) vs wild-type tumors (4.7 months; 95% CI, 1.9-5.6 months). Overall response rate in the PIK3CA-altered group was 29% (95% CI, 17%-43%), with no objective tumor responses in the wild-type group. Conclusions and Relevance Alpelisib plus fulvestrant has a manageable safety profile in patients with ER+ ABC, and data suggest that this combination may have greater clinical activity in PIK3CA-altered vs wild-type tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 gene fusions (NTRK gene fusions) occur in a range of adult cancers. Larotrectinib is a potent and highly selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of TRK kinases and has demonstrated activity in patients with tumours harbouring NTRK gene fusions. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multi-centre, phase I dose escalation study enrolled adults with metastatic solid tumours, regardless of NTRK gene fusion status. Key inclusion criteria included evaluable and/or measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2, and adequate organ function. Larotrectinib was administered orally once or twice daily, on a continuous 28-day schedule, in increasing dose levels according to a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation scheme. The primary end point was the safety of larotrectinib, including dose-limiting toxicity. RESULTS Seventy patients (8 with tumours with NTRK gene fusions; 62 with tumours without a documented NTRK gene fusion) were enrolled to 6 dose cohorts. There were four dose-limiting toxicities; none led to study drug discontinuation. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Larotrectinib-related adverse events were predominantly grade 1; none were grade 4 or 5. The most common grade 3 larotrectinib-related adverse event was anaemia [4 (6%) of 70 patients]. A dose of 100 mg twice daily was recommended for phase II studies based on tolerability and antitumour activity. In patients with evaluable TRK fusion cancer, the objective response rate by independent review was 100% (eight of the eight patients). Eight (12%) of the 67 assessable patients overall had an objective response by investigator assessment. Median duration of response was not reached. Larotrectinib had limited activity in tumours with NTRK mutations or amplifications. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed exposure was generally proportional to administered dose. CONCLUSIONS Larotrectinib was well tolerated, demonstrated activity in all patients with tumours harbouring NTRK gene fusions, and represents a new treatment option for such patients.

Abstract
The 2018 Accelerating Anticancer Agent Development (AAADV) Workshop assembled a panel of experts for an in-depth discussion session to present "Challenges with Novel Clinical Trial Designs." This panel offered assessments of the challenges faced by industry, the FDA, investigators, institutional review boards, and patients. The panel focused on master protocols, which include umbrella trials, platform trials, and basket trials. Umbrella trials and platform trials share many commonalities, whereas basket trials are more distinct. Umbrella and platform trials are generally designed with multiple arms where patients of the same histology or other unifying characteristics are enrolled into different arms and multiple investigational agents are evaluated in a single protocol. In contrast, basket studies generally enroll patients with different tumor types based on the presence of a specific mutation or biomarker regardless of histology; these trials may include expansion cohorts. These novel designs offer the promise of expedited drug assessment and approval, but they also place new challenges on all the stakeholders involved in the drug development process. Only by identifying the challenges of these complex, innovative clinical trial designs and highlighting challenges from each perspective can we begin to address these challenges. The 2018 AAADV Workshop convened a panel of experts from relevant disciplines to highlight the challenges that are created by master protocols, and, where appropriate, offer strategies to address these challenges.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based technology has lowered the cost of cancer testing for genomic alterations and is now commercially available from a growing number of diagnostic laboratories. However, laboratories vary in the methodologies underlying their tests, the types and numbers of genomic alterations covered by the test, and the clinical annotation of the sequencing findings. Determining the value of NGS tests is dependent on whether it is used to support clinical trials or as a part of routine clinical care at a time when both the investigational drug pipeline and the list of U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved or Compendium-listed therapeutics is in a high state of flux. Reimbursement policy for NGS testing by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid is evolving as the value of NGS testing becomes more clearly defined for specific clinical situations. Patient care and clinical decisions-making are dependent on the oncologist's knowledge of when NGS testing has value. Here, we review principles and practice for NGS testing in this dynamic confluence of technology, cancer biology, and health care policy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer treated with first-line ribociclib plus letrozole. METHODS In the phase III MONALEESA-2 study (NCT01958021), 668 patients were randomized 1:1 to ribociclib (600 mg/day; 3-weeks-on/1-week-off) plus letrozole (2.5 mg/day) or placebo plus letrozole. PROs were assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer core quality-of-life (EORTC QLQ-C30) and breast cancer-specific (EORTC QLQ-BR23) questionnaires. Changes from baseline and time to deterioration in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were analyzed using linear mixed-effect and stratified Cox regression models, respectively. Exploratory analysis of area-under-the-curve for change from baseline in pain score (AUC-pain) was performed. RESULTS On-treatment HRQoL scores were consistently maintained from baseline and were similar between arms. A clinically meaningful (> 5 points) reduction in pain score was observed as early as Week 8 and was maintained up to Cycle 15 in the ribociclib arm. A statistically significant increase in mean AUC-pain was also observed in the ribociclib arm. Scores for all other EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 domains were maintained from baseline and were similar between arms. CONCLUSIONS HRQoL was consistently maintained from baseline in postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer receiving ribociclib plus letrozole and was similar to that observed in the placebo plus letrozole arm. Together with the improved clinical efficacy and manageable safety profile, these PRO results provide additional support for the benefit of ribociclib plus letrozole in this patient population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: MUC16 is a transmembrane protein that is overexpressed by ovarian cancer. DMUC4064A is a cysteine-engineered THIOMABTM drug conjugate (TDC), comprising a humanized anti-MUC16 IgG1 and 2 potent anti-mitotic monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) molecules. THIOMABTM technology allows site-directed drug conjugation yielding a homogeneous drug-antibody ratio. Phase 1 dose escalation results (AACR 2017 abstract CT009) indicated DMUC4064A was well-tolerated with anti-tumor activity in patients with platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) at doses ≥ 3.2 mg/kg. The results from a subsequently enrolled expansion cohort at 5.2 mg/kg are reported here.
Methods: The dose expansion stage of the Phase I study evaluated safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic, and early activity of DMUC4064A at 5.2 mg/kg IV Q3W in PROC. Tumor tissue was used to assess expression of MUC16. Clinical activity was evaluated per RECIST criteria.
Results: Twenty female patients, median age 62 (51-75 y, ECOG PS 0-1), received a median of 7 doses (range 1-15) of DMUC4064A. Total antibody and antibody-conjugated MMAE (acMMAE) concentrations were bi-phasic, while unconjugated MMAE concentrations were > 150-fold lower than acMMAE concentrations. Accumulation was minimal for all three analytes. The most common (≥ 25%) related AEs were blurred vision (65%), fatigue (40%), nausea (40%), peripheral neuropathy (35%), keratitis (30%), diarrhea (25%), and dry eyes (25%).
Related ocular AEs occurred in 15 (75%) patients, 13 (65%) of whom experienced at least one G2 or G3 event. G3 ocular AEs included keratitis (n=2), blurred vision (n=1) and cataracts (n=1). Among patients with related G2 or G3 ocular events, 77% transiently experienced best corrected visual acuity of ≥ 20/40. Re-wetting drops (87%), dose reductions (60%) and/or steroid drops (40%) were the most commonly implemented treatments. No patients discontinued study due to ocular AEs and all but one of the patients who were dose reduced for ocular AEs recovered to G1 or G2 with manageable ocular AEs and tolerated subsequent redosing with DMUC4064A. Related G2 peripheral neuropathy was reported in 5 patients, presenting in 3 patients at cycles 2-5 and in 2 patients after 6 cycles. Four patients discontinued due to G2 peripheral neuropathy. The overall confirmed response rate at 5.2 mg/kg was 45% (1 CR and 8 PRs) with 4 responses exceeding 75% reduction in measurable tumor burden. Tumor MUC16 IHC scores were 2+/3+ in responders for whom data were available (n=8/9). Median PFS was 5.8 months and median duration of response was 4.4 months.
Conclusions: Treatment with DMUC4064A (clinicaltrials.gov NCT02146313) at 5.2 mg/kg has an acceptable safety profile in PROC, a patient population with few treatment options. The ocular toxicities with DMUC4064A appear manageable and the overall and depth of response demonstrate promising anti-tumor activity.

Abstract
BGJ398, a potent and selective pan-FGFR antagonist, was prospectively evaluated in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma bearing a diverse array of FGFR3 alterations. Patients (N = 67) who were unable to receive platinum chemotherapy were enrolled. The majority (70.1%) had received two or more prior antineoplastic therapies. BGJ398 was administered orally at 125 mg/day on a 3 weeks on, 1 week off schedule until unacceptable toxicity or progression. The primary endpoint was the response rate. Among 67 patients treated, an overall response rate of 25.4% was observed and an additional 38.8% of patients had disease stabilization, translating to a disease control rate of 64.2%. The most common treatment-emergent toxicities were hyperphosphatemia, elevated creatinine, fatigue, constipation, and decreased appetite. Further examination of BGJ398 in this disease setting is warranted.Significance: BJG398 is active in patients with alterations in FGFR3, resulting in both reductions in tumor volume and stabilization of disease. Our data highlight putative mechanisms of resistance to the agent, which may be useful in following disease status.

Abstract
The phase 1‐2 study CO‐338‐010 (Study 10; NCT01482715) is evaluating single‐agent rucaparib, a poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase inhibitor, administered orally to patients with an advanced solid tumor. In the dose escalation phase (Part 1), we characterized the single‐dose and steady‐state pharmacokinetic profiles of rucaparib administered once daily (QD; dose range, 40‐500 mg; n = 16) or twice daily (BID; dose range, 240‐840 mg; n = 30). Across all dosing schedules examined, the plasma exposure of rucaparib was approximately dose proportional; half‐life was approximately 17 hours, and median time to maximum concentration (tmax) ranged from 1.5 to 6.0 hours after a single dose and 1.5 to 4.0 hours following repeated dosing. The steady‐state accumulation ratio ranged from 1.60 to 2.33 following QD dosing and 1.47 to 5.44 following BID dosing. No effect of food on rucaparib pharmacokinetics was observed with a single dose of 40 mg (n = 3) or 300 mg (n = 6). In a phase 2 portion of the study (Part 3), the pharmacokinetic profile of rucaparib was further evaluated at the recommended phase 2 dose of 600 mg BID (n = 26). The mean (coefficient of variation) steady‐state maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration‐time curve from time zero to 12 hours (AUC0‐12h) were 1940 ng/mL (54%) and 16 900 ng ⋅ h/mL (54%), respectively. A high‐fat meal moderately increased rucaparib exposure. The fed‐to‐fasted geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval [CI]) for AUC0‐24h and Cmax were 138% (117%‐162%) and 120% (99.1%‐146%); the median (90%CI) tmax delay was 2.5 (0.5‐4.4) hours.
