Purpose Liposomal lurtotecan (OSI-211) is a liposomal formulation of the water-soluble topoisomerase I inhibitor lurtotecan (GI147211), which demonstrated superior levels of activity compared with topotecan in preclinical models. We studied two schedules of OSI-211 in a randomized design in relapsed ovarian cancer to identify the more promising of the two schedules for further study. Patients and Methods Eligible patients had measurable epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer that was recurrent after one or two prior regimens of chemotherapy. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either arm A (OSI-211 1.8 mg/m2/d administered by 30-minute intravenous infusion on days 1, 2, and 3 every 3 weeks) or arm B (OSI-211 2.4 mg/m2/d administered by 30-minute intravenous infusion on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks). The primary outcome measure was objective response, which was confirmed by independent radiologic review, and a pick the winner statistical design was used to identify the schedule most likely to be superior. Results Eighty-one patients were randomized between October 2000 and September 2001. The hematologic toxic effects were greater on arm A than on arm B (grade 4 neutropenia, 51% v 22%, respectively), as was febrile neutropenia (26% v 2.4%, respectively). Of the 80 eligible patients, eight patients (10%) had objective responses; six responders (15.4%; 95% CI, 6% to 30%) were in arm A and two responders (4.9%; 95% CI, 1% to 17%) were in arm B. Conclusion The OSI-211 daily for 3 days intravenous schedule met the statistical criteria to be declared the winner in terms of objective response. This schedule was also associated with more myelosuppression than the schedule of OSI-211 administered in arm B.

TPS1105 Background: Patients (pts) with mTNBC have limited treatment options and poor prognosis. The combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors with chemotherapy shows promise, but only a subset of pts with mTNBC derive benefit, highlighting the need for new combinations. BEGONIA is an ongoing Simon 2-stage, multicenter, multi-arm platform study evaluating the safety and efficacy of D, an anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, with or without P, in combination with novel oncology therapies as first-line treatment for mTNBC (NCT03742102). Dato-DXd is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of a humanized anti-trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) IgG1 monoclonal antibody, a stable tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker, and a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. Dato-DXd displayed encouraging clinical activity with a manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated pts with metastatic NSCLC in the phase 1 TROPION-PanTumor01 (NCT03401385) study. TROP2 is highly expressed on breast and other epithelial tumors, and a TROP2 ADC showed activity in heavily pretreated pts with mTNBC (Bardia, NEJM 2019). Methods: Eligible female pts are aged ≥18 years with untreated unresectable, locally advanced or mTNBC, ≥12 months since prior taxane therapy, ECOG PS 0/1, adequate organ function, and ≥1 nonirradiated measurable lesion. For Arm 7, pts are excluded if they have clinically significant corneal disease, history of interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, underlying pulmonary disorder, or prior treatment with an ADC containing a topoisomerase I inhibitor. Arm 7 will evaluate D (1120 mg) + Dato-DXd (6 mg/kg) given intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Part 1 of each arm includes a total of 30 pts with a safety run-in (n=6) to observe dose-limiting toxicities, identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and detect an efficacy signal for part 1 expansion. The primary endpoint of part 1 is safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints include investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR), duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Once the RP2D has been established for part 1, a futility analysis will be performed with an option to expand the cohort to an additional 27 pts if expansion criteria are met. The primary endpoint for part 1 is ORR. Tumors will be assessed every 6 weeks per RECIST v1.1. Kaplan-Meier analysis will be used for PFS and OS. PD-L1 and TROP2 expression will be assessed by immunohistochemistry. Enrollment is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03742102 .

The topoisomerase I agents are established as a therapy in recurrent ovarian cancer. Karenitecin, an analog of topotecan with solubility and pharmacologic advantages, was tested in a phase II trial in previously treated patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian cancer. The drug was administered intravenously over 1 h at a dose of 1.0 mg/m2 daily for 5 days every 21 days. Patients were treated until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or voluntary withdrawal. Response was evaluated according to modified RECIST criteria. Twenty-seven patients were entered into the study. One patient was inevaluable for not receiving any treatment. Of the 26 evaluable patients, there were two partial responses and one complete response for a total response rate of 12%. This response rate was insufficient to justify accrual to the second stage. The most common grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (19%) and gastrointestinal (15%). Karenitecin is a well-tolerated topoisomerase compound but has minimal activity in extensively pretreated ovarian cancer with the dose-schedule employed.

Purpose This phase I expansion cohort study evaluated the safety and clinical activity of mirvetuximab soravtansine (IMGN853), an antibody–drug conjugate consisting of a humanized anti–folate receptor alpha (FRα) monoclonal antibody linked to the tubulin-disrupting maytansinoid DM4, in a population of patients with FRα-positive and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients and Methods Patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer received IMGN853 at 6.0 mg/kg (adjusted ideal body weight) once every 3 weeks. Eligibility included a minimum requirement of FRα positivity by immunohistochemistry (≥ 25% of tumor cells with at least 2+ staining intensity). Adverse events, tumor response (via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1), and progression-free survival (PFS) were determined. Results Forty-six patients were enrolled. Adverse events were generally mild (≤ grade 2), with diarrhea (44%), blurred vision (41%), nausea (37%), and fatigue (30%) being the most commonly observed treatment-related toxicities. Grade 3 fatigue and hypotension were reported in two patients each (4%). For all evaluable patients, the confirmed objective response rate was 26%, including one complete and 11 partial responses, and the median PFS was 4.8 months. The median duration of response was 19.1 weeks. Notably, in the subset of patients who had received three or fewer prior lines of therapy (n = 23), an objective response rate of 39%, PFS of 6.7 months, and duration of response of 19.6 weeks were observed. Conclusion IMGN853 exhibited a manageable safety profile and was active in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, with the strongest signals of efficacy observed in less heavily pretreated individuals. On the basis of these findings, the dose, schedule, and target population were identified for a phase III trial of IMGN853 monotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant disease.

5505 Background: Wee1 phosphorylates and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases 1 and 2 and is involved in regulation of the intra-S and G2/M cell cycle checkpoint arrest for premitotic DNA repair. The Wee1 inhibitor, adavosertib, has demonstrated activity alone and in combination with olaparib in PARP inhibitor (PARPi)-resistant preclinical models. We sought to evaluate efficacy of adavosertib (A) with or without olaparib (O) in a phase II noncomparative study of recurrent PARPi-resistant ovarian cancer. Methods: Women with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer with documented progressive disease on a PARPi were eligible. All patients (pts) had measurable disease and adequate end organ function. On the A arm, pts received A 300mg PO daily on days 1-5 and 8-12 of a 21-day cycle. On the A/O arm, pts received A 150mg PO BID on days 1-3 and 8-10 and O 200mg PO BID on days 1-21 of a 21-day cycle. Primary endpoint was objective response per RECIST 1.1 and was assessed every 2 cycles. Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was defined as proportion of pts with objective response or stable disease > 16 weeks. Progression free survival (PFS) was assessed using the Kaplan Meier method and calculated from date of treatment initiation to earliest date of progression, death, or last visit. Results: 116 pts were screened with 80 pts enrolled and randomized (A: n=39, A/O: n=41). Median age was 60 years (range 36-76) and the majority of pts had platinum resistant disease (64%) and high grade serous histology (98%). Pts received a median of 4 prior therapies (range 1-11) and 48% had germline or somatic BRCA mutations. There were 35 pts evaluable for response in each arm. Table demonstrates efficacy data. On the A arm, Grade 3/4 toxicities occurred in 51% of pts, most commonly neutropenia (13%), thrombocytopenia (10%), and diarrhea (8%). 28 (72%) pts required at least one dose interruption and 20 (51%) required dose reduction. On the A/O arm, Grade 3/4 toxicities occurred in 76% of pts, most commonly thrombocytopenia (20%), neutropenia (15%), diarrhea (12%), fatigue (12%), and anemia (10%). 36 (88%) of pts required at least one dose interruption, 29 (71%) required dose reduction, and 4 (10%) did not restart due to toxicity. Conclusions: A given alone and in combination with O demonstrated efficacy in pts with PARPi-resistant ovarian cancer. Although grade 3 and 4 toxicities were observed on both arms, these were generally manageable with supportive care, dose interruptions and dose reductions as needed. Additional translational analyses are ongoing to clarify which pts received clinical benefit. Clinical trial information: NCT03579316. [Table: see text]

5538 Background: Development of new regimen is required to overcome platinum resistant ovarian cancer. Irinotecan and gemcitabine have a synergistic effect to inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cell line in vitro. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and gemcitabine for taxane/platinum resistant recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer and to determine the recommended dose. Methods: Nine patients with measurable disease (age range 51-70 years) were enrolled. Patients were treated with irinotecan and gemcitabine on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks with starting dose of level 1. Dose levels included irinotecan/gemcitabine: 65/650 (level 0), 80/800 (level 1), 100/1000 (level 2), mg/m2 respectively. Level 2 is defined as the maximum dose as used in other malignancies. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was assessed during the first cycle; toxicities were monitored throughout the treatment according to the CTCAE v4.0. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: In level 1 (n = 6), grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in 5 patients. Grade 3 nausea and vomiting was observed in 1, grade 3 diarrhea in 1. One patient of level 1 experienced DLTs. In level 2 (n = 3), grade 3/4 neutropenia are observed in 3, anemia in 1, and thrombocytopenia in one patient. Other toxicities were mild. Three patients who received level 2 did not show DLT. The objective response was CR/PR/SD/PD, 0/2/5/2. Conclusions: The dose level of irinotecan 100 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 every 3 weeks is recommended for a phase II study. Clinical trial information: UMIN000005926.

BackgroundAnti-programmed death 1 (PD1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapies have shown modest activity as monotherapy in recurrent ovarian cancer. Platinum chemotherapies induce T-cell proliferation and enhance tumor recognition. We assessed activity and safety of pembrolizumab with carboplatin in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.Patients and methodsThis phase I/II, single-arm clinical trial studied concurrent carboplatin and pembrolizumab in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer. Primary platinum refractory patients were excluded. Patients were treated after progression on subsequent non-platinum systemic therapy after becoming platinum resistant or refractory. Pembrolizumab 200 mg was given on day 1 and carboplatin area under the curve 2 on days 8 and 15 of a 3-week cycle until progression. Imaging was assessed by blinded independent review. PD-L1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells was performed for CD3, CD4, CD8, PD1, CTLA4 and Ki67.ResultsThe most common treatment-related adverse events were lymphopenia (18%) and anemia (9%) with most being grade 1 or 2 (93%). Of 29 patients treated, 23 patients were evaluable for best objective response: 10.3% (95% CI 2.2 to 27.4) had partial response (PR), 51.7% (95% CI 32.5 to 70.6) had stable disease (SD). 56.5% of patients had decreases in target lesions from baseline. All PD-L1-positive patients achieved PR (3/7, 42.8%) or SD (4/7, 57.2%). Median progression-free survival was 4.63 months (95% CI 4.3 to 4.96). Median OS was 11.3 months (95% CI 6.094 to 16.506). Peripheral CD8+PD1+Ki67+ T cells expanded after 3 (p=0.0015) and 5 (p=0.0023) cycles. CTLA4+PD1+CD8+ T cells decreased through the course of treatment up to the 12th cycle (p=0.004). When stratified by ratio of peripheral CD8+PD1+Ki67+ T cells to tumor burden at baseline, patients with a ratio ≥0.0375 who had a significantly longer median OS of 18.37 months compared with those with a ratio <0.0375 who had a median OS of 8.72 months (p=0.0099). No survival advantage was seen with stratification by tumor burden alone (p=0.24) or by CD8+PD1+Ki67+ T cells alone (p=0.53).ConclusionsPembrolizumab with carboplatin was well-tolerated and active in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. A ratio of peripheral T-cell exhaustion to radiographic tumor burden may identify patients more likely to benefit from this chemoimmunotherapy.Trial registration numberNCT03029598.

3549 Background: XMT-1536 is a first-in-class ADC targeting the sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein NaPi2b, broadly expressed in NSCLC and ovarian cancer. XMT-1536 utilizes the Dolaflexin platform to deliver 10-12 DolaLock auristatin payload molecules per antibody. In the dose-escalation portion of the Phase I study (NCT03319628), XMT-1536 showed clinical activity at doses >20mg/m2 with confirmed responses and prolonged stable disease in heavily pretreated OC and NSCLC patients, without preselection for NaPi2b expression. XMT-1536 was generally well-tolerated without the severe toxicities observed with other ADC platforms such as neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, or ocular toxicity (Tolcher et al., ASCO 2019; Richardson et al., SGO 2020). Here, we report on the expansion (EXP) cohort, which included patients with fewer prior lines of therapy, in the ongoing Phase I study. Methods: Doses administered intravenously every 4 weeks (q4w) of 36 and 43 mg/m2 were evaluated in two cohorts (1) high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (OC) with up to 4 prior lines of therapy and (2) NSCLC adenocarcinoma; prior treatment with a platinum-based therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitor, and TKI, if indicated. Archival tumor tissue and tissue from a new tumor biopsy were required for retrospective evaluation of NaPi2b expression. Results: As of 10 February 2020, 23 patients (19 OC and 4 NSCLC) were enrolled in the EXP cohort: 16 dosed at 36 mg/m2 and 7 dosed at 43 mg/m2. Adverse events were generally similar to those previously reported, including transient AST elevation, fatigue, nausea, and pyrexia. Clinical responses and stable diseases have been observed. Efficacy data (objective response rate) and initial correlation of NaPi2b score with clinical response will be reported. Available data from all patients with data cutoff in May 2020 will be included. Conclusions: Overall, XMT-1536 treatment demonstrated clinical activity in high grade serous ovarian cancer and NSCLC adenocarcinoma and was generally well-tolerated with no new safety signal trends identified in the EXP. Clinical efficacy and the relevance of NaPi2b expression for treatment with XMT-1536 will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT03319628 .
