Abstract
This comparative non-interventional study using data from the French National Health Database (Système National des Données de Santé) investigated real-world (cumulative) live birth outcomes following ovarian stimulation, leading to oocyte pickup with either originator recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) products (alfa or beta), r-hFSH alfa biosimilars, or urinaries including mainly HP-hMG (menotropins), and marginally u-hFSH-HP (urofollitropin). Using data from 245,534 stimulations (153,600 women), biosimilars resulted in a 19% lower live birth (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.76-0.86) and a 14% lower cumulative live birth (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.86, 95% CI 0.82-0.89); and urinaries resulted in a 7% lower live birth (adjusted OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.90-0.96) and an 11% lower cumulative live birth (adjusted HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.87-0.91) versus originator r-hFSH alfa. Results were consistent across strata (age and ART strategy), sensitivity analysis using propensity score matching, and with r-hFSH alfa and beta as the reference group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of transforming growth factor beta receptor II (a TGF-β "trap") fused to a human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody blocking programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1). We report the efficacy and safety in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that progressed following anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this expansion cohort of NCT02517398-a global, open-label, phase I trial-adults with advanced NSCLC that progressed following chemotherapy and was primary refractory or had acquired resistance to anti-PD-(L)1 treatment received intravenous bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until confirmed progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. The primary endpoint was best overall response (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 adjudicated by independent review committee); secondary endpoints included safety. RESULTS Eighty-three eligible patients (62 [74.7%] treated with ≥3 prior therapies) received bintrafusp alfa. Four patients (3 primary refractory, 1 acquired resistant) had confirmed partial responses (objective response rate, 4.8%; 95% CI, 1.3%-11.9%), and 9 had stable disease. Tumor cell PD-L1 expression was not associated with response. Nineteen patients (22.9%) experienced grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events, most commonly asthenia (3 [3.6%]) and fatigue, eczema, and pruritus (2 each [2.4%]). One patient had grade 4 amylase increased. One patient died during treatment for pneumonia before initiation of bintrafusp alfa. CONCLUSION Although the primary endpoint was not met, bintrafusp alfa showed some clinical activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated NSCLC, including prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. Tumor responses occurred irrespective of whether disease was primary refractory or had acquired resistance to prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.

Abstract
Bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of TGF-βRII (a TGF-β "trap") fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1, is being evaluated for efficacy and safety in solid tumor indications as monotherapy and in combination with small-molecule drugs. We evaluated the perpetrator drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of bintrafusp alfa via cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme modulation, which is responsible for the metabolism of a majority of drugs. The holistic approach included (1) evaluation of longitudinal profiles of cytokines implicated in CYP3A4 modulation and serum 4β-hydroxycholesterol, an endogenous marker of CYP3A4 activity, in a phase I clinical study, and (2) transcriptomics analysis of the CYP3A4 mRNA levels vs the TGFB gene expression signature in normal hepatic tissues. Bintrafusp alfa was confirmed not to cause relevant proinflammatory cytokine modulation or alterations in 4β-hydroxycholesterol serum concentrations in phase I studies. Transcriptomics analyses revealed no meaningful correlations between TGFB gene expression and CYP3A4 mRNA expression, supporting the conclusion that the risk of CYP3A4 enzyme modulation due to TGF-β neutralization by bintrafusp alfa is low. Thus, bintrafusp alfa is not expected to have DDI potential as a perpetrator with co-administered drugs metabolized by CYP3A4; this information is relevant to clinical evaluations of bintrafusp alfa in combination settings.

Abstract
BackgroundBintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β ”trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. Here we report cumulative safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) results from the global, phase 1b/2 INTR@PID LUNG 024 study (NCT03840915), which evaluated bintrafusp alfa in combination with chemotherapy (CT) in patients with stage IV NSCLC.MethodsAdult patients with stage IV nonsquamous or squamous NSCLC and an ECOG PS ≤1 were included. Cohorts A, B, and C included patients with no prior systemic therapy; patients in cohort D had disease that progressed with previous anti–PD-(L)1 therapy. Cohorts received bintrafusp alfa 2400 mg every 3 weeks intravenously in combination with CT for 4 cycles (A [nonsquamous only]: cisplatin or carboplatin + pemetrexed; B: carboplatin + nab-paclitaxel or paclitaxel; C: cisplatin or carboplatin + gemcitabine; D: docetaxel) followed by bintrafusp alfa maintenance (monotherapy or in combination with pemetrexed in cohort A) for up to 31 cycles. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of bintrafusp alfa in combination with CT. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were assessed during a 3-week observation period. Serial samples were drawn to assess serum concentration and calculate PK parameters by noncompartmental analysis.ResultsAs of the May 5, 2021, data cutoff, 70 patients received bintrafusp alfa in combination with CT. Of 35 patients included in the DLT analysis, 4 experienced 1 DLT according to a safety monitoring committee (data cutoff May 5, 2021; A: n=1/8; B: n=1/8; C: n=0/8; D: n=2/11). Cumulative safety data are reported in table 1. PK data were available for 67 patients (A: n=38; B: n=9; C: n=8; D: n=12). PK profiles were similar across cohorts and between patients who did and did not experience a DLT. Observed bintrafusp alfa first-cycle exposures (Cmax, AUC, and Ctrough) were consistent with the published population PK (popPK) model.1Abstract 465 Table 1Safety results from the INTR@PID LUNG 024 studyConclusionsThe safety profile of bintrafusp alfa in combination with CT was manageable and similar to that reported for ICIs in combination with CT, with the exception of TGF-β–related skin lesions known to occur with TGF-β inhibition. No new safety signals were identified and there were no treatment-related deaths. The PK profile was consistent with the predicted monotherapy popPK model, suggesting no victim DDI potential for bintrafusp alfa with CT.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the patients and their families, investigators, co-investigators, and the study teams at each of the participating centers, at the healthcare business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, and at EMD Serono, Billerica, Massachusetts, USA.Trial RegistrationNCT03840915ReferenceWilkins JJ, Vugmeyster Y, Dussault I.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal adenocarcinoma patients have limited treatment options. TGF-β can be upregulated in esophageal adenocarcinoma, and blocking this pathway may enhance clinical response to PD-(L)1 inhibitors. Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β "trap") fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of bintrafusp alfa in patients with advanced, post-platinum esophageal adenocarcinoma, unselected for PD-L1 expression. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this phase 1 study, patients with post-platinum, PD-L1-unselected esophageal adenocarcinoma received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. The primary endpoint was confirmed best overall response per RECIST 1.1 by independent review committee (IRC). RESULTS By the database cutoff of 24 August 2018, 30 patients (80.0% had two or more prior anticancer regimens) received bintrafusp alfa for a median of 6.1 weeks. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per IRC was 20.0% (95% CI 7.7-38.6); responses lasted 1.3-8.3 months. Most responses (83.3%) occurred in tumors with an immune-excluded phenotype. Investigator-assessed confirmed ORR was 13.3% (95% CI 3.8-30.7). Nineteen patients (63.3%) had treatment-related adverse events: seven patients (23.3%) had grade 3 events; no grade 4 events or treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS Bintrafusp alfa showed signs of clinical efficacy with a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated, advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have limited treatment options. Blocking transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ), which can be overexpressed in these tumors, may enhance responses to programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-(L)1] inhibitors. Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGFβ receptor II (TGFβRII) (a TGFβ "trap") fused to a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody blocking PD-L1. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of bintrafusp alfa in Asian patients with pretreated, PD-L1-unselected esophageal SCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a phase 1 study, Asian patients with pretreated esophageal SCC received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. The primary endpoint was safety/tolerability with a goal of exploring clinical activity. RESULTS By the database cutoff of August 24, 2018, 30 patients (76.7% had two or more prior anticancer regimens) received bintrafusp alfa for a median of 6.1 weeks; two remained on treatment. Nineteen patients (63.3%) had treatment-related adverse events, seven (23.3%) with grade 3/4 events, and there were no treatment-related deaths. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per independent review was 10.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1-26.5); responses lasted 2.8-8.3 + months. All responses occurred in immune-excluded tumors. Investigator-assessed confirmed ORR was 20.0% (95% CI 7.7-38.6). Median overall survival was 11.9 months (95% CI 5.7-not reached). CONCLUSIONS Bintrafusp alfa demonstrated a manageable safety profile and efficacy in Asian patients with pretreated esophageal SCC. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT02699515.

Abstract
6020 Background: Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. A previous report of an expansion cohort from a phase 1 study (NCT02517398) suggested that bintrafusp alfa had a manageable safety profile and early signs of clinical activity in patients with heavily pretreated, advanced SCCHN after a median follow-up of 86.4 weeks. Here we report long-term efficacy and safety for this cohort. Methods: Patients with advanced SCCHN that progressed/recurred after platinum therapy in the recurrent/metastatic setting, or < 6 months after platinum therapy in the locally advanced setting, received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until confirmed progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. The primary endpoint was confirmed best overall response assessed per RECIST 1.1 assessed by independent review committee (IRC); safety was a secondary endpoint. Results: As of May 15, 2020, 32 patients had received bintrafusp alfa for a median of 2.8 months (range, 0.5-29.9 months), no patient remained on treatment, and median follow-up to data cutoff was 41.7 months (range, 39.8-43.5 months). The objective response rate (ORR; 13%) was unchanged since the previous report; median duration of response (DOR) was increased at 21.4 months (95% CI, 5.5 months to not reached [NR]). While the clinical activity of bintrafusp alfa may be improved in patients with HPV-positive tumors (Table), outcomes were generally similar between PD-L1 subgroups (≥1% vs < 1% tumor cells). The overall safety profile was consistent with the previous report for this cohort, without grade 4 nor 5 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs); no new TRAEs of grade 3 or that led to discontinuation of bintrafusp alfa were reported. Conclusions: With a median follow-up of over 3 years in patients with heavily pretreated advanced SCCHN, bintrafusp alfa showed sustained clinical activity and 3-year OS of 24.0%, which compares favorably to historical data. Clinical activity appeared to be greater in patients with HPV-positive tumors than those with HPV-negative tumors. The safety profile was manageable and consistent with earlier analysis. Further investigation of bintrafusp alfa in SCCHN and other HPV-associated cancers is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT02517398. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Background For patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM), there are few options following treatment failure with radiotherapy plus temozolomide. Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 antibody blocking PD-L1. Methods In this phase I, open-label expansion cohort (NCT02517398), patients with rGBM that progressed after radiotherapy plus temozolomide received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg Q2W until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. Response was assessed per RANO criteria. The primary endpoint was disease control rate (DCR); secondary endpoints included safety. Results As of August 24, 2018, 35 patients received bintrafusp alfa for a median of 1.8 (range, 0.5–20.7) months. Eight patients (22.9%) experienced disease control as assessed by an independent review committee: 2 had a partial response, 4 had stable disease, and 2 had non-complete response/non-progressive disease. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 1.4 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2–1.6) months; 6- and 12-month PFS rates were 15.1% and 11.3%, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) was 5.3 (95% CI, 2.6–9.4) months; 6- and 12-month OS rates were 44.5% and 30.8%, respectively. The DCR (95% CI) was 66.7% (22.3–95.7%) for patients with IDH-mutant GBM (n = 6) and 13.8% (3.9–31.7%) for patients with IDH–wild-type GBM (n = 29). Disease control was seen regardless of PD-L1 expression. Twenty-five patients (71.4%) experienced treatment-related adverse events (grade ≥3; 17.1% [n = 6]). Conclusions The percentage of patients achieving disease control and the manageable safety profile may warrant further investigation of bintrafusp alfa in GBM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with few targeted treatment options and a poor prognosis. Despite approvals of the anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) atezolizumab in combination with nab-paclitaxel for unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic TNBC that expresses PD-L1 (tumor-infiltrating immune cells ≥1% of tumor area), many recent studies of other anti-PD-(L)1 therapies in advanced TNBC have shown limited efficacy, likely due to intrinsic therapeutic resistance. Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), which promotes cancer progression by inducing angiogenesis, fibrosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), may attenuate the efficacy of or promote resistance to anti-PD-(L)1 therapies. Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. In a cohort of 33 patients with heavily pretreated, advanced TNBC that progressed during/after first-line therapy, bintrafusp alfa was safe and resulted in antitumor activity (NCT02517398). Exploratory biomarker analysis showed that high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) expression was 32-fold higher in tumor samples from patients who experienced disease control than from patients who had progressive disease in that cohort. Elevated expression of HMGA2, a protein associated with TGF-β signaling and a known regulator of EMT, is associated with metastasis and poor survival in breast cancer. We present the study design of a phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bintrafusp alfa in patients with pretreated metastatic TNBC that expresses high levels of HMGA2. Trial Design: This phase 2, multicenter, open-label study will evaluate bintrafusp alfa monotherapy in patients with HMGA2-expressing TNBC that progressed on ≥1 line of systemic therapy for their metastatic disease. Patients will receive bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until confirmed progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. Eligibility Criteria: Patients must have histologically confirmed TNBC defined by ASCO-CAP guidelines (estrogen receptor: immunohistochemistry [IHC] <1%; progesterone receptor: IHC <1%; human epidermal growth factor receptor 2: in situ hybridization nonamplified or IHC 0/1), high tumor HMGA2 expression, ECOG performance status ≤1, and measurable disease by RECIST 1.1. Patients must have experienced disease progression while receiving the most recent therapy prior to enrollment. HMGA2 expression will be centrally determined on archival or fresh tumor tissue by RT-PCR. Prescreening for HMGA2 expression while receiving preceding treatment is allowed; a fresh tumor biopsy prior to study entry may be requested for exploratory biomarker analysis. Patients with prior exposure to immunotherapy are not eligible. Specific Aims: The primary endpoint is independent review committee-assessed objective response rate per RECIST 1.1. Key secondary endpoints include safety, duration of response, durable response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Additional exploratory biomarker characteristics will also be investigated. Statistical Methods: Descriptive statistics, including mean, median, standard deviation, and range, will be used to characterize continuous variables. Frequency counts and percentages will be used to characterize categorical variables. Accrual: Planned enrollment is 29 patients. Contact Information: Leisha A. Emens, MD, PhD Email: emensla@upmc.edu

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The safety and efficacy of bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) receptor II (a TGF-β "trap") fused to a human immunoglobulin G1 antibody blocking programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), was evaluated in patients with advanced NSCLC. METHODS This expansion cohort of NCT02517398, an ongoing, phase 1, open-label trial, includes 80 patients with advanced NSCLC that progressed after platinum doublet therapy or after platinum-based adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment and those who also have not received previous immunotherapy. Patients were randomized at a one-to-one ratio to receive either bintrafusp alfa 500 mg or the recommended phase 2 dosage of 1200 mg every 2 weeks. The primary end point was the best overall response (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 as adjudicated by independent review committee) and was assessed by the objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS A total of 80 patients were randomized to receive bintrafusp alfa 500 or 1200 mg (n = 40 each). Median follow-up was 51.9 weeks (IQR, 19.6-74.0). The ORR in all patients was 21.3% (17 of 80). The ORR was 17.5% (seven of 40) and 25.0% (10 of 40) for the 500 mg dose and the 1200 mg dose (recommended phase 2 dose), respectively. At the 1200 mg dose, patients with PD-L1-positive and PD-L1-high (≥80% expression on tumor cells) had ORRs of 36.0% (10 of 27) and 85.7% (six of seven), respectively. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 55 of the 80 patients (69%) and were graded as greater than or equal to 3 in 23 of the 80 patients (29%). Of the 80 patients, eight (10%) had a treatment-related adverse event that led to treatment discontinuation; no treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS Bintrafusp alfa had encouraging efficacy and manageable tolerability in patients with NSCLC previously treated with platinum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report the clinical activity and safety of bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)RII receptor (a TGF-β 'trap') fused to a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody blocking programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), in patients with heavily pretreated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). METHODS In this phase I dose-expansion cohort, patients with advanced SCCHN not amenable to curative therapy that progressed/recurred after platinum therapy in the recurrent/metastatic setting, or <6 months after platinum therapy in the locally advanced setting, received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg intravenously every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was confirmed best overall response (BOR; Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1) per independent review committee (IRC); other endpoints included BOR per investigator and safety. RESULTS As of August 24, 2018, 32 patients had received bintrafusp alfa (median follow-up 86.4 weeks; range 2-97). Per IRC, the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 13% (95% CI 4% to 29%; 4 partial responses (PR)); 4 patients had stable disease (SD) (disease control rate 34%; 95% CI 12% to 43%). Per investigator, there were 5 PRs (ORR, 16%), including 2 patients who developed delayed PRs after initial disease increase (total clinical response rate 22%). Responses (ORRs) were observed in patients with PD-L1-positive (12%), PD-L1-negative (17%; 73-10 antibody for immunohistochemistry), human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive (33%) and HPV-negative tumors (5%). Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 11 patients (34%), with no grade 4 TRAEs or treatment-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS Bintrafusp alfa showed clinical activity across subgroups of PD-L1 expression and in HPV-positive tumors and had a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated advanced SCCHN. Activity in HPV-positive tumors is favorable compared with historical data from PD-L1 inhibitors and is being further investigated in an ongoing study of HPV-associated tumors.

Abstract
9558 Background: Bintrafusp alfa (M7824) is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. Interim analysis of a global phase 1 study (NCT02517398) found an objective response rate (ORR) of 27.5% and a manageable safety profile in patients with NSCLC who received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg in the 2L setting; median overall survival (OS) was not reached. Here we present the longest efficacy and safety follow-up in a cohort receiving bintrafusp alfa. Methods: Patients with advanced NSCLC unselected for PD-L1 expression level who progressed after first-line standard treatment (no prior immunotherapy) were randomized to receive bintrafusp alfa 500 or 1200 mg (n = 40 each) Q2W until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or trial withdrawal. The primary objective was best overall response (BOR) per RECIST 1.1; secondary and exploratory objectives include safety and OS, respectively. Results: As of October 15, 2019, a total of 40 patients received bintrafusp alfa at the recommended phase 2 dose of 1200 mg Q2W for a median of 17 (range, 2-136) weeks, with a median follow-up of 128 weeks; 18 patients were still alive, 3 patients had an ongoing response, and 1 patient remained on treatment. Results for the 1200 mg dose cohort showed an ORR of 27.5%, and a median duration of response of 18 months. The 18- and 24-month progression-free survival and OS rates were 18.4% and 11.0%, and 49.7% and 39.7%, respectively. Duration of response rates at 18 and 24 months were 42.4% and 21.2%, respectively. Median OS in patients with positive (≥1%) PD-L1 expression was 21.7 months; 6 of 7 patients with high (≥80% with Ab clone 73-10, which is equivalent to ≥50% with 22C3) PD-L1 expression were still alive. The overall safety profile has remained consistent since the interim analysis, with no new safety signals or deaths and 1 additional treatment-related discontinuation (blood alkaline phosphatase increased). Conclusions: After two years of follow-up, bintrafusp alfa continues to show manageable safety with durable responses and encouraging long-term survival, especially in patients with high PD-L1 expression. A study evaluating bintrafusp alfa vs pembrolizumab as first-line treatment for NSCLC is ongoing in patients with high PD-L1 expression (NCT03631706). Clinical trial information: NCT02517398 .

Bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-βRII receptor (a TGF-β 'trap') fused to a human IgG1 antibody blocking programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), has shown clinical efficacy in multiple solid tumors. METHODS In this phase I, open-label trial expansion cohort, Asian patients with BTC whose disease progressed after first-line chemotherapy received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. The primary endpoint is safety/tolerability, while the secondary endpoints include best overall response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. RESULTS As of August 24, 2018, 30 patients have received bintrafusp alfa for a median of 8.9 (IQR 5.7-32.1) weeks; 3 patients remained on treatment for >59.7 weeks. Nineteen (63%) patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), most commonly rash (17%), maculopapular rash and fever (13% each), and increased lipase (10%). Eleven (37%) patients had grade ≥3 TRAEs; three patients had grade 5 events (septic shock due to bacteremia, n=1; interstitial lung disease (reported term: interstitial pneumonitis), n=2). The objective response rate was 20% (95% CI 8 to 39) per independent review committee (IRC), with five of six responses ongoing (12.5+ to 14.5+ months) at data cut-off. Two additional patients with durable stable disease had a partial response per investigator. Median progression-free survival assessed by IRC and overall survival were 2.5 months (95% CI 1.3 to 5.6) and 12.7 months (95% CI 6.7 to 15.7), respectively. Clinical activity was observed irrespective of PD-L1 expression and microsatellite instability-high status. CONCLUSIONS Bintrafusp alfa had clinical activity in Asian patients with pretreated BTC, with durable responses. Based on these results, bintrafusp alfa is under further investigation in patients with BTC (NCT03833661 and NCT04066491). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02699515.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays have been developed independently within clinical programs for therapeutic anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) or PD-L1 antibodies, necessitating assessment of assay comparability. We characterized the Dako PD-L1 IHC 73-10 assay used in clinical trials of avelumab (anti-PD-L1) or bintrafusp alfa (M7824; bifunctional immunotherapy) and compared it with the Dako PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay, an approved companion diagnostic for pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. METHODS Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded NSCLC tumor samples from a commercial source and from the JAVELIN Solid Tumor phase 1 trial of avelumab (NCT01772004) were stained using the 73-10 and 22C3 IHC assays with a standard protocol. RESULTS Both assays displayed expected PD-L1 staining patterns. In 148 commercial NSCLC samples, the 73-10 assay stained greater than or equal to 1%, greater than or equal to 50%, and greater than or equal to 80% of tumor cells as PD-L1+ in 64.2%, 36.5%, and 23.6% of the samples, respectively, whereas the 22C3 assay stained 20.3% of the samples as greater than or equal to 50% PD-L1+. In 83 NSCLC clinical trial samples, the 73-10 assay stained 79.5% and 31.3% of the samples as greater than or equal to 1% and greater than or equal to 80% PD-L1+, respectively, whereas the 22C3 assay stained 59.0% and 21.7% as greater than or equal to 1% and greater than or equal to 50% PD-L1+, respectively. Efficacy of avelumab was similar in the subgroups classified with the 73-10 and 22C3 assays using greater than or equal to 80% and greater than or equal to 50% PD-L1+ cutoffs, with objective response rates of 26.9% and 33.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The 73-10 assay demonstrated high sensitivity for PD-L1 staining, and staining was comparable between the greater than or equal to 80% cutoff of the 73-10 assay and greater than or equal to 50% cutoff of the 22C3 assay.

Abstract
Lessons Learned Bintrafusp alfa had a manageable safety profile and demonstrated preliminary clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients with solid tumors (including hepatocellular carcinoma) with no or limited treatment options. Findings from this study suggest bintrafusp alfa may be a novel therapeutic approach for patients with advanced solid tumors. Additional trials are needed to further explore safety and efficacy of bintrafusp alfa in specific tumor types.
Background Bintrafusp alfa is a first‐in‐class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) RII receptor (a TGF‐β “trap”) fused to a human immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 antibody blocking programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1). Bintrafusp alfa is designed to neutralize TGF‐β signaling by “trapping” and sequestering all TGF‐β isoforms, and this trap function is physically linked to PD‐L1 blockade in the tumor microenvironment. Methods NCT02699515 was a phase I, open‐label, dose‐escalation study of bintrafusp alfa (3, 10, and 20 mg/kg every 2 weeks) in Asian patients with advanced solid tumors, including a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) safety‐assessment cohort. The primary objective was safety and tolerability; the secondary objective is best overall response. Results As of August 24, 2018, 23 patients (including 9 in the HCC cohort) received bintrafusp alfa. Eight patients experienced treatment‐related adverse events (TRAEs). Three patients had grade 3 TRAEs (13.0%; hypoacusis, hyponatremia, hypopituitarism, increased blood creatine phosphokinase, and intracranial tumor hemorrhage); one had grade 4 hyponatremia (4.3%). No treatment‐related deaths occurred. In the dose‐escalation cohort, two patients had a confirmed partial response, and 3 had stable disease (SD), for an overall response rate of 14.3% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 35.7%. In the HCC cohort, one patient had SD (DCR, 11.1%). A dose‐proportional pharmacokinetics profile was observed at doses of >3 mg/kg. Conclusion Bintrafusp alfa had a manageable safety profile and preliminary efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors, including HCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC) have limited treatment options after first-line therapy. Bintrafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGFβRII receptor (a TGFβ "trap") fused to a human IgG1 antibody against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), potentially offering a new treatment approach for these patients. We report results for bintrafusp alfa in GC/GEJC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Asian patients with recurrent GC/GEJC for whom standard therapy does not exist or for whom standard therapy has failed enrolled in this expansion cohort of an ongoing phase I trial and received bintrafusp alfa 1,200 mg once every 2 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. The primary objective was to assess safety/tolerability. RESULTS By July 23, 2018, 31 heavily pretreated patients received bintrafusp alfa for a median of 10.1 weeks; 3 patients remained on treatment. Six patients (19%) experienced grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (AE); no grade 4 events occurred. One on-treatment death occurred (sudden death); rupture of a preexisting thoracic aortic aneurysm was the suspected cause. Ten patients (32%) had immune-related AEs. The confirmed objective response rate per independent review committee was 16%; disease control rate was 26%. Median duration of response was 8.7 months (range, 2.4-12.4+). Responses occurred irrespective of PD-L1 expression or microsatellite instability status and appeared to correlate with high tumor TGFB1 levels. CONCLUSIONS In this first evaluation in Asian patients with heavily pretreated advanced GC/GEJC, bintrafusp alfa demonstrated a manageable safety profile and clinical activity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Approximately 10%-20% of breast cancers (BCs) are classified as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC lacks targeted treatment options and has a poor prognosis. Bintrafusp alfa (M7824) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. We report interim results in patients with advanced TNBC treated with bintrafusp alfa in an expansion cohort of an ongoing, open-label, phase 1 trial (NCT02517398).
Methods: Eligible patients had confirmed TNBC (ER: IHC <1%; PR: IHC <1%; HER2: FISH non-amplified, IHC 0/1+, or IHC 2+ and FISH non-amplified) that progressed during or after first-line chemotherapy with an ECOG performance status of ≤1 and measurable disease by RECIST 1.1. Prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors was not permitted. Patients received bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until confirmed progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. The primary endpoint was confirmed best overall response (BOR) as assessed by independent review committee (IRC) according to RECIST 1.1. Key secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed BOR and safety. Exploratory endpoints included an extensive integrated biomarker evaluation of patient samples. These data are presented in a separate, submitted abstract.
Results: As of August 24, 2018, 33 patients with heavily pretreated TNBC (54.5% of patients had ≥4 prior regimens) were enrolled in this study of bintrafusp alfa. Patients received a median of 3 doses of bintrafusp alfa (range, 1-24). Confirmed responses as assessed by IRC and investigator occurred in 3 patients (1 complete response and 2 partial responses as assessed by IRC; ORR, 9.1% [95% CI, 1.9%-24.3%]); disease control was achieved in a total of 5 patients (15.2% [95% CI, 5.1%-31.9%]) by both IRC and investigator read. The median progression-free survival per IRC was 1.3 months (95% CI, 1.2-1.4 months), and the median overall survival was 7.8 months (95% CI, 2.1-12.8 months). Importantly, a biomarker related to TGF-β biology was identified via RNAseq analysis of tumor samples with 32.0-fold higher expression in patients who experienced disease control (response or stable disease) compared with those who had progressive disease (biomarker results for this expansion cohort are presented in a separate abstract). PD-L1 expression was not associated with response to treatment. In the entire cohort, 6 patients (18.2%) experienced ≥1 grade 3 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE), including anemia (n=3), asthenia, decreased appetite, generalized rash, hypophysitis, and increased transaminases (all n=1). No grade 4 TRAEs were reported. Three patients discontinued treatment due to TRAEs, including 1 death that was assessed by the investigator as related to treatment. Dyspnea, hemolysis, and thrombocytopenia were reported as grade 5 TRAEs in this patient, who had extensive disease at trial entry and was noted to have multiple pulmonary emboli, progressive disease, and expanding pleural effusion after 3 doses. No autoantibodies mediating hemolysis or thrombocytopenia were identified on workup.
Conclusions: In summary, bintrafusp alfa was well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with expectations in this heavily pretreated, advanced TNBC cohort. We identified high expression of a potential predictive biomarker of response in patients with advanced TNBC treated with bintrafusp alfa. Detailed biomarker data are presented in the separate abstract and warrant further investigation of bintrafusp alfa in TNBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Identification of biomarkers that are predictive of response to investigational therapies will help identify patients that are more likely to clinically benefit from treatment. Bintrafusp alfa (M7824) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of the TGF-βRII receptor (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1. In this expansion cohort of a global, phase 1, open-label trial (NCT02517398), an extensive tumor biomarker analysis was conducted to identify potential markers correlating with efficacy in patients with advanced TNBC treated with bintrafusp alfa.
Methods: Patients received infusions of bintrafusp alfa 1200 mg every 2 weeks until confirmed progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. Tumor archival material was collected from each patient for biomarker analysis. All biomarker analyses were exploratory. PD-L1 expression and immune phenotype were determined by immunohistochemistry. Tumor samples were also processed for RNA sequencing (RNAseq) and resulting data were analyzed to identify potential associations between gene expression and efficacy of bintrafusp alfa treatment.
Results: As of August 24, 2018, 33 patients with heavily pretreated TNBC were treated with bintrafusp alfa (54.5% of patients received ≥4 prior regimens). The objective response rate was 9.1% (n=3) and the disease control rate was 15.2% in a total of 5 patients. PD-L1 expression levels in tumor cells and in the tumor microenvironment were generally low in this cohort with the majority of patients having 0% PD-L1+ tumor cells and/or ≤10% PD-L1+ immune cells in their tumor microenvironment. Moreover, several patients had an immune desert phenotype. PD-L1 expression was not associated with response to treatment. Importantly, exploratory analysis of RNAseq data (n=26 passing quality control) identified differential expression of the high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) gene with 32.0-fold higher expression (as computed by DESeq2; q=2.23e−13) in patients who experienced disease control (response or stable disease) compared to those who had progressive disease. HMGA2 is a transcriptional regulator whose expression is upregulated by TGF-β signaling. Furthermore, HMGA2 is known to be an important factor in mediating TGF-β-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset, approximately 12% of subjects annotated as TNBC have high expression of HMGA2. Clinical efficacy and safety data for this expansion cohort are presented in a separate abstract.
Conclusions: We identified high expression of HMGA2 as a potential predictive biomarker of response in TNBC patients treated with bintrafusp alfa. HMGA2 assay development is on-going to confirm this finding in a future clinical trial.

Abstract
Background Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling promotes tumor immunosuppression; its inhibition in the tumor microenvironment may enhance the response to anti-PD-L1 treatment. M7824 is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of 2 extracellular domains of TGF-βRII (a TGF-β “trap”) fused to a human IgG1 mAb against PD-L1. Building upon encouraging efficacy observed in a phase 1 study, the present study will evaluate M7824 clinical benefit in patients with pretreated biliary tract cancer (BTC). Methods This multicenter, international trial is evaluating M7824 monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic (LA/M) BTC unselected for tumor PD-L1 expression who had disease progression after or were intolerant to first-line platinum-based therapy. Eligible patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed LA/M intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), extrahepatic CCA, or gallbladder cancer. Patients must not have received prior immunotherapy, therapy with checkpoint inhibitors, or anti-TGF-β therapy. Patients will receive M7824 1,200 mg every 2 weeks intravenously up to 24 months or until confirmed disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal. The primary endpoint is confirmed objective response; key secondary endpoints include duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Results This is a trial in progress; results are pending. Conclusions BTCs are a group of cancers with poor prognosis and few treatment options. For second-line therapy, no standard of care exists, and overall response rates (ORRs) with chemotherapy are <10%. M7824 has demonstrated promising preclinical activity as well as antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in two phase 1 studies. In an expansion cohort of study NCT02699515 of 30 patients with pretreated advanced BTC, M7824 monotherapy demonstrated a 23.3% confirmed ORR by investigator assessment, with durable responses. The present study is, therefore, supported by preclinical and clinical evidence and will provide further insight of M7824 in BTC.

Abstract
764 Background: Inhibiting the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) pathway, which plays a key role in tumor immunosuppression, may enhance the response to programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). M7824 (MSB0011359C) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of a mAb against PD-L1 fused with the extracellular domain of TGF-β receptor II, which serves as a TGF-β “trap.” We report results in patients (pts) with heavily pretreated colorectal cancer (CRC), an area of high unmet need since these pts no longer respond to standard therapies. Methods: In this expansion cohort of the ongoing, phase 1, open-label trial NCT02517398, pts with heavily pretreated (≥3rd line) advanced CRC receive M7824 1200 mg q2w until confirmed progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity or trial withdrawal. The primary objective is best overall response (BOR) per RECIST v1.1; secondary objectives include safety/tolerability. Results: As of 28 June 2017, 32 heavily pretreated pts with advanced CRC (87.5% had ≥3 prior therapies) received M7824 for a median duration of 7.1 (range: 2-38) weeks; 2 pts remained on treatment. Among the 29 evaluable pts, 1 had a confirmed partial response (PR; ongoing at 8 months), 1 had stable disease (SD) and 27 had PD as BOR per independent read. The pt with a PR had CRC that was microsatellite stable (MSS), consensus molecular subtype (CMS) 4, KRAS mutant (mt) and PD-L1+; this pt had the highest tumor cell PD-L1 expression in our cohort (20%; PD-L1 expression was generally low among the other 24 pts with available results). 4 pts (12.5%) experienced 5 different grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (AEs; adrenal insufficiency, anemia, blood bilirubin increased, enteritis [leading to discontinuation] and fatigue); there were no grade ≥4 treatment-related AEs or treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: In heavily pretreated pts with advanced CRC, 1 pt (MSS, CMS 4, KRAS mt and PD-L1+) had a durable PR, 1 had SD and 27 had PD as BOR. M7824 showed a manageable safety profile. Updated data – including PD-L1, TGF-β and CMS results – will be presented. A study in pts with CMS 4 is in preparation. Clinical trial information: NCT02517398.

Abstract
762 Background: Inhibiting the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) pathway, which plays a key role in tumor immunosuppression, may enhance the response to programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). M7824 (MSB0011359C) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of a mAb against PD-L1 fused with the extracellular domain of TGF-β receptor II, which serves as a TGF-β “trap.” We report results in Asian patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Methods: NCT02699515 is a phase 1, open-label, 3 + 3 dose-escalation study. Pts receive M7824 at 3, 10 or 20 mg/kg q2w until confirmed progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity or trial withdrawal. The primary objective is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD); secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity and best overall response per RECIST v1.1. Results: As of 28 February 2017, 14 heavily pretreated pts (85.7% received ≥3 prior therapies) received M7824 for a median duration of 5.9 weeks (range: 2-40 weeks). Grade (gr) ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 3 pts (21.4%): 1 pt (3 mg/kg) had gr 4 hyponatremia and gr 3 hypopituitarism; 1 pt (20 mg/kg) had gr 3 intracranial tumor hemorrhage (dose-limiting toxicity; treatment discontinued [TD]); 1 pt (20 mg/kg) had gr 3 increased blood creatine phosphokinase, hyponatremia and hypoacusis (TD). PK data showed a dose-linear increase in exposure. Signs of efficacy were seen across all dose levels: 2 pts (colorectal cancer [CRC] associated with Lynch syndrome [3 mg/kg] and ovarian cancer [20 mg/kg]) achieved a confirmed partial response (PR) and 3 pts (gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer [3 mg/kg], gastric cancer [3 mg/kg] and adenoid cystic carcinoma of the tongue [10 mg/kg]) achieved stable disease. Durations of response were 1.1+ months (ovarian; PR occurred after TD, with no further anticancer therapy) and 7.0+ months (CRC; treatment ongoing); both PRs were ongoing beyond the data cutoff. Conclusions: M7824 had a manageable safety profile in Asian pts with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors; the MTD was not reached. Early signs of clinical efficacy are encouraging. Clinical trial information: NCT02699515.

Abstract
100 Background: Inhibiting the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) pathway, which plays a key role in tumor immunosuppression, may enhance the response to programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). M7824 (MSB0011359C) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of a mAb against PD-L1 fused with the extracellular domain of TGF-β receptor II, which serves as a TGF-β “trap.” We report preliminary results in Asian patients with heavily pretreated gastric cancer. Methods: In this expansion cohort of the ongoing, phase 1, open-label trial NCT02699515, patients with recurrent or refractory unresectable stage IV gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma for which no standard therapy exists or standard therapy has failed receive M7824 1200 mg q2w until confirmed progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity or trial withdrawal. The primary objective is safety; secondary objectives include best overall response (BOR) per RECIST v1.1. Results: As of 6 September 2017, 31 heavily pretreated patients with advanced gastric cancer (67.7% received ≥3 prior anticancer therapies) received M7824 for a median duration of 6.1 (range: 2-30) weeks (median number of M7824 infusions: 3 [range: 1-13]); 8 patients remained on treatment. Four patients (12.9%) experienced grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (anemia and diarrhea 1 each and 2 rash). No treatment-related grade 4 AEs occurred. One grade 5 event (total 5 doses received) was considered possibly treatment related, but suspected rupture of preexisting thoracic aortic aneurysm was cited as other probable cause by the investigator. There were 5 confirmed partial responses (4 ongoing after 4-6 months of follow-up) based on investigator assessment of BOR (overall response rate: 16.1%). This is an ongoing study; updated data will be presented. Conclusions: These preliminary data show that M7824 resulted in a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated Asian patients with gastric cancer. Early signs of clinical efficacy are encouraging. Clinical trial information: NCT02699515.

Abstract
Purpose: M7824 (MSB0011359C) is an innovative first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of a mAb against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) fused to a TGFβ "trap."Experimental Design: In the 3+3 dose-escalation component of this phase I study (NCT02517398), eligible patients with advanced solid tumors received M7824 at 1, 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg once every 2 weeks until confirmed progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal; in addition, a cohort received an initial 0.3 mg/kg dose to evaluate pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, followed by 10 mg/kg dosing. The primary objective is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD); secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and best overall response.Results: Nineteen heavily pretreated patients with ECOG 0-1 have received M7824. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurred in four patients (skin infection secondary to localized bullous pemphigoid, asymptomatic lipase increase, colitis with associated anemia, and gastroparesis with hypokalemia). The MTD was not reached. M7824 saturated peripheral PD-L1 and sequestered any released plasma TGFβ1, -β2, and -β3 throughout the dosing period at >1 mg/kg. There were signs of efficacy across all dose levels, including one ongoing confirmed complete response (cervical cancer), two durable confirmed partial responses (PR; pancreatic cancer; anal cancer), one near-PR (cervical cancer), and two cases of prolonged stable disease in patients with growing disease at study entry (pancreatic cancer; carcinoid).Conclusions: M7824 has a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors. Early signs of efficacy are encouraging, and multiple expansion cohorts are ongoing in a range of tumors. Clin Cancer Res; 24(6); 1287-95. ©2018 AACR.

Abstract
Background and aims Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive skin cancer; few treatments exist for patients with advanced disease. Once tumors metastasize to distant sites, patients generally receive chemotherapy, but response duration and progression-free survival (PFS) are typically short. Few studies have assessed the efficacy of second-line chemotherapy for metastatic MCC. Here, we studied outcomes in patients who received ≥ 2 lines of chemotherapy for metastatic MCC. Materials and methods Patients in an MCC-specific registry diagnosed with stage IV MCC between November 1, 2004, and September 15, 2015, and treated with second-line or later chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. Patient records, including baseline characteristics, immunocompetent status, and responses to prior chemotherapy, were evaluated. Patients meeting eligibility criteria were followed through December 31, 2015. Results Of 29 patients with metastatic MCC and immunocompetent status who had received ≥ 2 lines of chemotherapy, 3 achieved a partial response, for an objective response rate (ORR) of 10.3% (95% CI, 2.2–27.4). In the overall population including patients with immunocompetent and immunocompromised status (n = 34), the ORR was 8.8% (95% CI, 1.9–23.7). The median duration of response was 1.9 months (range, 1.3–2.1 months; 95% CI, 1.3–2.1). In the immunocompetent population, median PFS and overall survival were 3.0 months (95% CI, 2.5–6.0) and 5.3 months (95% CI, 4.3–6.0), respectively. Conclusions The low response rates and limited durability confirm previous reports of the ineffectiveness of second-line or later chemotherapy in patients with metastatic MCC and provide a benchmark for assessing clinical benefit of new treatments.

Abstract
3006 Background: M7824 (MSB0011359C) is a novel bifunctional fusion protein comprised of a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) fused to the soluble extracellular domain of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor II, which acts as a TGF-β trap. We report preliminary data from a phase 1 trial of M7824 in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. Methods: NCT02517398 is a phase 1, open-label, 3+3 dose-escalation study. Eligible pts receive M7824 at 1, 3, 10, or 20 mg/kg Q2W until confirmed progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or trial withdrawal; treatment beyond progression is generally allowable. The primary objective is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of M7824; secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and best overall response per RECIST v1.1. Results: 16 heavily pretreated pts with ECOG performance status 0-1 have received M7824. Our PK data show a dose-linear increase in exposure starting at a dose of 3 mg/kg; furthermore, M7824 saturates peripheral PD-L1 and sequesters any released plasma TGF-β1, -β2, and -β3 throughout the dosing period in a dose-dependent manner. Grade 3 drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 3 pts (skin infection secondary to grade 2 bullous pemphigoid [BP], lipase increased, and colitis with associated anemia); there were no grade 4-5 drug-related TEAEs. BP and colitis responded well to steroids. Colitis and its secondary events of anemia and rectal hemorrhage (in a previously radiated area) were considered dose limiting in 1 pt. There was preliminary evidence of efficacy across all dose levels, including 1 ongoing confirmed complete response (cervical), 1 durable partial response (pancreatic), a 25% reduction in the sum of diameters of target lesions after 2 doses of M7824 (cervical), and 2 cases of prolonged stable disease (pancreatic; carcinoid). Conclusions: Preliminary data from this phase 1 dose-escalation study suggest that M7824 has a manageable safety profile in pts with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors. Early signs of clinical efficacy warrant further study. Clinical trial information: NCT02517398.

Abstract
e20581 Background: Response to anti–PD-L1/PD-1 therapy in patients with NSCLC has been associated with tumor PD-L1 expression. Avelumab is a fully human anti‒PD-L1 IgG1 antibody that has shown antitumor activity in advanced NSCLC, with a trend for greater efficacy in patients with PD-L1+ vs PD-L1– NSCLC tumors, as assessed using a proprietary PD-L1 assay in development (Dako, Carpinteria, CA; based on antibody clone 73-10, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). This study compares the analytical performance of the 73-10 assay with the FDA-approved PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx diagnostic assay (Dako) in NSCLC tumors. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded NSCLC tumor samples were obtained from a commercial source and from a study of first-line (1L) avelumab in patients with advanced NSCLC (NCT01772004). Tumor membrane PD-L1 expression was assessed with the 73-10 and 22C3 assays by immunohistochemistry. Correlation between assays was determined at different PD-L1 cut-off levels. Results: In initial staining of commercial NSCLC samples, the 73-10 assay showed a broad dynamic range. Of 148 commercial samples, the 73-10 assay with ≥1%, ≥50% and ≥80% cut-offs classified 64.2%, 36.5% and 23.6% of samples as PD-L1+, respectively, whereas 20.3% were PD-L1+ with the 22C3 assay at a pre-specified ≥50% cut-off. The overall percentage agreement between assays was 83.8% using the ≥50% cut-off for both assays, and 93.9% using the ≥80% cut-off for 73-10 and ≥50% for 22C3. In follow-up studies, 83 study samples from the 1L NSCLC cohort were evaluable with both assays. With the 73-10 assay at ≥1%, ≥50%, and ≥80% cut-offs, 79.5%, 45.8%, and 31.3% of study tumors, respectively, were PD-L1+; with the 22C3 assay at ≥1% and ≥50% cut-offs, 59.0% and 21.7% were PD-L1+. Conclusions: Using a high tumor cell PD-L1 staining cut-off, the 73-10 and 22C3 assays showed highly concordant staining of NSCLC samples, with similar sensitivity observed with an ≥80% cut-off for 73-10 and ≥50% for 22C3. Using a low frequency of tumor PD-L1 expression, data suggested that the 73-10 assay had greater sensitivity than the 22C3 assay. These results provide a rationale for additional studies using the 73-10 assay at various cut-offs within the avelumab trial program. Clinical trial information: NCT01772004.
