    Abstract: TPS4134 Background: Dasatinib, a potent oral BCR-ABL and SRC family kinase (SFK) inhibitor, is approved for first- and second-line therapy of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in pts with newly diagnosed CML or CML resistant/intolerant to prior therapy. SRC expression and activity is upregulated in PaCa and correlates with reduced survival in resected high-grade PaCa (Morton, Gastroenterology 2010) and resistance to Gem, a PaCa standard of care (Duxbury, J Am Coll Surg 2004). In preclinical PaCa studies, inhibition of SFKs with dasatinib reduces tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion; increases apoptosis; sensitizes cells to Gem; and inhibits development of metastases in vivo either alone or in combination with Gem (Duxbury, Clin Cancer Res 2004; Duxbury, J Am Coll Surg 2004; Nagaraj, Mol Cancer Ther 2010; Morton, op cit). Phase I clinical studies of dasatinib and Gem therapy in PaCa have demonstrated feasibility and suggested efficacy of the combination (Uronis, ASCO 2009, abstract e15506). Methods: This double-blind phase II study tests whether addition of dasatinib to Gem is tolerable and improves efficacy in pts with histologically/cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced nonmetastatic PaCa. Eligible pts, aged ≥18 years with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1 and adequate organ function, are randomized 1:1 to Gem 1000 mg/m 2 IV once weekly (Weeks 1–3 of a 4-week cycle) plus either dasatinib 100 mg once daily or matched placebo. Pts are treated until progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination. The primary endpoint is OS, and secondary endpoints are progression-free survival and safety. Exploratory endpoints include freedom from distant metastases, measures of pain and fatigue, overall response rate, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9. Final study analysis will be conducted after 135 deaths; all pts will be followed for survival. To date, 23/200 pts have enrolled; estimated primary completion date is March 2013. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01395017.

    Abstract: 559 Background: Current treatment options for postmenopausal patients with estrogen-receptor–positive (ER + ) breast cancer (BC) who relapse or progress on a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) are limited. The BOLERO-2 trial supports the activity of everolimus (EVE; an oral mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR] inhibitor) added to the steroidal aromatase inhibitor exemestane (EXE) to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) in this patient population. Long-term PFS and survival data are awaited. Methods: BOLERO-2 is a phase III double-blind, randomized, international trial comparing EVE (10 mg once daily) plus EXE (25 mg once daily) versus placebo (PBO) plus EXE in postmenopausal women with advanced ER + BC progressing or recurring after NSAIs (letrozole or anastrozole). Patients were randomized (2:1) to EVE + EXE or PBO + EXE. The primary endpoint was PFS by local investigator assessment. Main secondary endpoints included centrally assessed PFS, overall survival (OS), safety, bone turnover, and overall response rate (ORR). Results: Baseline disease characteristics including tumor burden and prior cancer therapy were well balanced between treatment arms (N = 724). Median PFS was doubled and response rates were consistently improved with EVE + EXE (n = 485) vs PBO + EXE (n = 239) in interim analyses. Median PFS by local assessment was ~3 mo with PBO + EXE vs 6.9 mo (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.43; P 〈 .0001) and 7.4 mo (HR = 0.44; P 〈 .0001) with EVE + EXE at 7.5 mo and 12.5 mo follow-up, respectively. Fewer deaths were reported with EVE + EXE (17.2%) vs PBO + EXE (22.7%) at 12.5 mo follow-up. Safety profiles were consistent with previous reports for mTOR inhibitors. PFS data including 528 events (protocol-specified final analysis), and updated OS and safety data will be presented. Conclusions: Adding EVE to EXE markedly prolonged PFS in patients with NSAI-refractory advanced ER + BC. There were fewer deaths among patients receiving EVE, and further follow-up will evaluate the effect of EVE on OS.

    Abstract: 557 Background: In patients with hormone-receptor–positive (HR + ) breast cancer, endocrine therapy is the standard of care both in the adjuvant setting and as first-line treatment for ABC. For selected HR + patients with ABC, chemotherapy (CT) may be utilized if disease burden is high and rapid symptom control is required (Barrios CH. GAMO.2010). In the phase 3 BOLERO-2 study (NCT00863655), 1 line of prior CT in the ABC setting was allowed. This subset analysis examined disease characteristics and the efficacy of everolimus (EVE) plus exemestane (EXE) in patients who received CT for ABC prior to BOLERO-2 study entry. Methods: In BOLERO-2, 724 patients with HR + , human epidermal growth factor receptor-2–negative (HER2 – ) ABC whose disease recurred or progressed during/after a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor were randomized 2:1 to EVE (10 mg/d) + EXE (25 mg/d) or placebo (PBO) + EXE. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) by local investigator review and confirmed by blinded independent central review. Results: A subset of 186 patients (26%) received prior CT for ABC: 125 in the EVE + EXE group and 61 in PBO + EXE. In this subset, 54% (67 of 186) of patients received prior CT only in the advanced setting and 46% (58 of 186) of patients received prior CT in both the neoadjuvant/adjuvant and advanced settings. Incidences of visceral metastases (67% vs 56%), multiple metastases (79% vs 66%), and ≥ 4 metastatic sites (18.3% vs 15%) were higher in ABC patients with prior CT for ABC at study entry versus those with no prior CT for ABC. Disease recurrence 〈 6 months from initial diagnosis was recorded in 32.2% (n = 60) of prior CT patients versus 17.3% (n = 93) of patients with no prior CT. Median PFS (by local assessment) in patients who received prior CT for ABC was substantially longer with EVE + EXE versus PBO + EXE (6.1 vs 2.7 mo; HR = 0.38; 95% CI, 0.27-0.53). PFS by central review showed similar results (7.1 vs 2.8 mo, respectively; HR = 0.42; 95% CI, 0.27-0.65). Conclusions: These results demonstrate that patients with HR + , HER2 – ABC who received previous CT in the advanced setting had a higher tumor burden and derived clinically significant benefit from combination treatment with EVE + EXE. Clinical trial information: NCT00863655.

    EMERGE: A Randomized Phase II Study of the Antibody-Drug Conjugate Glembatumumab Vedotin in Advanced Glycoprotein NMB–Expressing Breast Cancer
    American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) ; 2015

    Abstract: Glycoprotein NMB (gpNMB), a negative prognostic marker, is overexpressed in multiple tumor types. Glembatumumab vedotin is a gpNMB-specific monoclonal antibody conjugated to the potent cytotoxin monomethyl auristatin E. This phase II study investigated the activity of glembatumumab vedotin in advanced breast cancer by gpNMB expression. Patients and Methods Patients (n = 124) with refractory breast cancer that expressed gpNMB in ≥ 5% of epithelial or stromal cells by central immunohistochemistry were stratified by gpNMB expression (tumor, low stromal intensity, high stromal intensity) and were randomly assigned 2:1 to glembatumumab vedotin (n = 83) or investigator's choice (IC) chemotherapy (n = 41). The study was powered to detect overall objective response rate (ORR) in the glembatumumab vedotin arm between 10% (null) and 22.5% (alternative hypothesis) with preplanned investigation of activity by gpNMB distribution and/or intensity (Stratum 1 to Stratum 3). Results Glembatumumab vedotin was well tolerated as compared with IC chemotherapy (less hematologic toxicity; more rash, pruritus, neuropathy, and alopecia). ORR was 6% (five of 83) for glembatumumab vedotin versus 7% (three of 41) for IC, without significant intertreatment differences for predefined strata. Secondary end point revealed ORR of 12% (10 of 83) versus 12% (five of 41) overall, and 30% (seven of 23) versus 9% (one of 11) for gpNMB overexpression (≥ 25% of tumor cells). Unplanned analysis showed ORR of 18% (five of 28) versus 0% (0 of 11) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and 40% (four of 10) versus 0% (zero of six) in gpNMB-overexpressing TNBC. Conclusion Glembatumumab vedotin is well tolerated in heavily pretreated patients with breast cancer. Although the primary end point in advanced gpNMB-expressing breast cancer was not met for all enrolled patients (median tumor gpNMB expression, 5%), activity may be enhanced in patients with gpNMB-overexpressing tumors and/or TNBC. A pivotal phase II trial (METRIC [Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer]) is underway.

    Abstract: LBA148 Background: nab-Paclitaxel (nab-P, 130 nm albumin-bound paclitaxel) provides tumor selective localization via transcytosis across the endothelium, potential tumor uptake via macropinocytosis, and improved pharmacokinetics vs cremophor-paclitaxel. In vitro, nab-P increased tumoral gemcitabine (G) levels, and in a phase I/II study in metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC) nab-P + G showed promising activity. Methods: Patients (pts) with mPC were randomized to nab-P 125 mg/m 2 , followed by G 1000 mg/m 2 on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks or G 1000 mg/m 2 weekly for 7 weeks (cycle 1), then on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks (≥ cycle 2). For the primary endpoint of overall survival (OS), 608 events from 842 patients provided a power of 0.9 to detect a HR of 0.769 (2-side α = 0.049). Results: 861 pts received therapy. Baseline pt characteristics were well balanced. Median age was 63 years, Karnofsky performance status was 90-100 in 60% and ≤80 in 40% of pts, 43% had head of pancreas lesions, 84% had liver and 39% had lung metastases, and 52% of pts had CA19-9 ≥59 x ULN. Treatment duration was 4 vs 3 months in nab-P + G vs G. The relative protocol G dose was 75% vs 85% in nab-P + G vs G; nab-P dose was 81%. OS, progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), and overall response rate (ORR) were significantly improved in the nab-P + G arm (Table). Most common grade ≥3 AEs were neutropenia (38% vs 27%), fatigue (17% vs 7%), and neuropathy (17% vs 1%) in the nab-P + G vs G arms. Grade ≥3 neuropathy improved to grade ≤1 in 29 days. Febrile neutropenia was reported in 3% (nab-P + G) vs 1% (G) pts. Conclusions: In this multinational, multiinstitutional study, nab-P + G was well tolerated and superior to G with statistically significant and clinically meaningful results in all endpoints and across subgroups. Clinical trial information: NCT00844649. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 4059^ Background: In MPACT, pts who received nab-P + G vs G had improved overall survival (OS; median 8.5 vs 6.7 mo; HR 0.72; p= 0.000015). Here we assessed potential PFs of OS. Methods: 861 pts with MPC were randomized 1:1, stratified by region, presence of liver metastases, and Karnofsky performance status (KPS), to nab-P + G or G. OS was described in subgroups. A step-wise multivariate analysis (with significance level for entry of 0.20 and for stay of 0.10) was performed to evaluate the treatment effect and identify possible predictors of OS. Results: Pts with poorer PFs had a shorter median OS, consistent with the literature, and OS consistently favored nab-P + G in pts with these PFs (Table). Region of Eastern Europe, age ≥ 65 years, poorer KPS, presence of liver metastases, and number of metastatic sites all predicted OS (increased risk of death). The treatment effect remained significant (HR 0.72; 95% CI, 0.605 - 0.849; p 〈 0.0001, Cox proportional hazards [CPH] model). In another multivariate analysis in which baseline CA19-9 was added to the final model described above, the treatment effect HR was 0.67 (95% CI, 0.573 - 0.794; p 〈 0.0001, CPH model). Baseline CA19-9, a predictor of OS by univariate analysis, was not predictive after correction for the above factors. Conclusions: In MPACT, the most important predictors of OS were KPS, age, presence of liver metastases, number of metastatic sites, and region. After correcting for these factors, assignment to nab-P + G was an independent significant predictor of improved survival. Clinical trial information: NCT00844649. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 99 Background: Current treatment options for postmenopausal patients with estrogen-receptor–positive breast cancer (BC) who relapse or progress on a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI) are limited. The BOLERO-2 trial supports the activity of everolimus (EVE; an oral mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR] inhibitor) added to the steroidal aromatase inhibitor exemestane (EXE) to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) in this patient population. Long-term PFS and survival data are awaited. Methods: BOLERO-2 is a phase 3, double-blind, randomized, international trial comparing EVE (10 mg once daily) + EXE (25 mg once daily) vs. placebo (PBO) + EXE in postmenopausal women with advanced estrogen-receptor–positive BC progressing or recurring after NSAIs (letrozole or anastrozole). Patients were randomized (2:1) to EVE + EXE or PBO + EXE. The primary endpoint was PFS by local investigator assessment. Main secondary endpoints included centrally assessed PFS, overall survival (OS), safety, bone turnover, and overall response rate. Results: Baseline disease characteristics including tumor burden and prior cancer therapy were well balanced between treatment arms (N = 724). Median PFS was doubled and response rates were consistently improved with EVE + EXE (n = 485) vs PBO + EXE (n = 239) in interim analyses. Median PFS by local assessment was ~3 mo with PBO + EXE vs 6.9 mo (hazard ratio [HR] , 0.43; P 〈 .0001) and 7.4 mo (HR, 0.44; P 〈 .0001) with EVE + EXE at 7.5 mo and 12.5 mo follow-up, respectively. Fewer deaths were reported with EVE + EXE (17.2%) vs PBO + EXE (22.7%) at 12.5 mo follow-up. Safety profiles were consistent with previous reports for mTOR inhibitors. PFS data including 528 events (protocol-specified final analysis), and updated OS and safety data will be presented. Conclusions: Adding EVE to EXE markedly prolonged PFS in patients with NSAI-refractory advanced estrogen-receptor–positive BC. There were fewer deaths among patients receiving EVE, and further follow-up will evaluate the effect of EVE on OS.

    Abstract: 4058^ Background: nab-P + G showed promising efficacy in a phase I/II study in MPC, and decreases in CA19-9 correlated with OS. In MPACT, patients (pts) who received nab-P + G vs G had improved median OS (8.5 vs 6.7 mo; HR 0.72; p = 0.000015), PFS (5.5 vs 3.7 mo; HR 0.69; p = 0.000024) and ORR (23% vs 7%; p = 1.1 × 10 −10 ). Here we present a prespecified exploratory analysis of CA19-9 from the MPACT trial. Methods: 861 previously untreated pts with MPC were randomized 1:1 to receive nab-P 125 mg/m 2 + G 1000 mg/m 2 days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks or G alone 1000 mg/m 2 weekly for 7 weeks followed by a week of rest (cycle 1) and then days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks (cycle ≥ 2). CA19-9 was evaluated at baseline and then every 8 weeks. OS comparisons at different CA19-9 criteria were performed by stratified Cox proportional hazards model (P by stratified log-rank test using randomization criteria). Results: 750 pts had an evaluable CA19-9 at baseline. More pts in the nab-P + G arm vs the G arm demonstrated a best CA19-9 decrease from baseline of ≥ 20% and ≥ 90% (61% vs 44% and 31% vs 14%, respectively; Table). At the first postbaseline assessment (week 8), greater proportions of pts in the nab-P + G arm vs the G arm had CA19-9 decreases of ≥ 20% and ≥ 90% (Table). At that time point, for pts with a decrease of ≥ 20% in CA19-9, nab-P + G demonstrated a significantly longer OS vs G. The risk reduction for pts with a ≥ 90% decrease was greater than in pts with a ≥ 20% decrease. In pts with an 8-week CA19-9 decrease 〈 20%, median OS for nab-P + G vs G was 8.3 vs 8.0 mo (HR 0.92; p = 0.705). The relationship of CA19-9 kinetics with OS will also be examined. Conclusions: Higher proportions of pts in the nab-P + G arm had CA 19-9 responses of ≥ 20% and ≥ 90% vs the G arm. Pts who achieved a CA19-9 decrease at 8 weeks of ≥ 20% or ≥ 90% had significantly longer OS with nab-P + G than with G. Clinical trial information: NCT00844649. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: e15023 Background: Kanglaite injection (KLTi) is a purified botanical extract injection tested for pancreatic cancer. KLTi is derived from Coix seed of the plant Coix lacrama-jobi. KLTi demonstrated growth inhibitory effects in vitro. In xenograft models with PANC-1 cell lines in BALB/C mice, KLTi combined with gemcitabine had synergistic tumor inhibitory activity greater than gemcitabine alone. KLTi is approved and widely used in China to treat non-small cell lung cancer and primary liver cancer. We report final cohort 1 results from a US phase 2b clinical trial. Methods: Eligible patients with histologically confirmed unresectable pancreatic cancer were randomized to a regimen of either KLTi 30g/day plus a standard course of gemcitabine or a standard course of gemcitabine only. The two groups were compared in efficacy, measure by progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Results: Forty-one patients were randomized to cohort 1 and 38 patients received treatment: 26 received KLTi plus gemcitabine, 12 received gemcitabine only, and 3 received no treatment. The KLTi plus gemcitabine group had a median PFS of 114 days, significantly longer than the median PFS of 57.5 days in the gemcitabine only group (HR 0.338, 95% CI: 0.145, 0.788, p=0.008). The overall response rates were 15.5% (4/26) and 8.3% (1/12) for KLTi plus gemcitabine and gemcitabine only, respectively. Two serious adverse events were possibly related to KLTi; one subject had a pulmonary embolism and the other experienced transient confusion. The adverse events were similar between the groups and consistent with gemcitabine toxicities. Conclusions: Combined with gemcitabine, KLTi injection showed favorable tolerability and encouraging clinical activity for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. Clinical trial information: NCT00733850.

    Abstract: 558 Background: In BOLERO-2, adding everolimus (EVE) to exemestane (EXE) more than doubled progression-free survival without affecting quality of life vs EXE alone in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor–positive advanced breast cancer who had recurrence or progression on/after nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy. Although mTOR inhibitors are generally well tolerated, stomatitis is one of their most clinically relevant and potentially dose-limiting toxicities (Sonis Cancer2010). The incidence, grade, and clinical course of stomatitis among patients (pts) participating in the BOLERO-2 study are described. Methods: Pts were randomized 2:1 to receive EVE+EXE or placebo (PBO)+EXE. Stomatitis incidence, severity, consequent dose interruptions/adjustments, study drug discontinuations, and time to resolution were recorded. Results: The median duration of EVE+EXE treatment exposure was 30 wk (range, 1-123 wk). Stomatitis (any grade) occurred more frequently with EVE+EXE than with PBO+EXE (59% vs 12%, respectively). Grade 3 stomatitis occurred in 8% vs 1% of pts receiving EVE+EXE vs PBO+EXE, respectively; no grade 4 was reported. Onset of grade ≥2 stomatitis after treatment initiation was earlier in the EVE+EXE arm vs the PBO+EXE arm: median time was 15d vs 24d, respectively. In the EVE+EXE arm, 97% of pts with grade 3 stomatitis (n=38) improved to ≤1 after a median of 13 d. Complete resolution was observed in 82% of these pts after a median of 38 d. In the PBO+EXE arm, all pts with grade 3 stomatitis (n=2) improved to ≤1 after a median of 18 d. Complete resolution was observed after a median of 29 d. Overall, 24% of pts in the EVE+EXE arm required dose interruptions/adjustments vs 1% of pts in the PBO+EXE arm, and 3% of pts (n=13) discontinued EVE+EXE vs 〈 1% of pts (n=1) discontinuing PBO+EXE, all related to stomatitis. Conclusions: The BOLERO-2 data foster a new era of combining targeted and endocrine therapies. In the study, treatment-emergent stomatitis was of mild to moderate intensity, occurred shortly after treatment initiation, and was generally reversible. Most incidents were successfully managed with palliative interventions and temporary dose modifications. Oral hygiene and other preventive measures are recommended. Clinical trial information: NCT00863655.
