Abstract:
3085 Background: SQ3370, a novel therapy, utilizes Shasqi’s proprietary Click Activated Protodrugs Against Cancer (CAPAC) platform where mutually-reactive click chemistry groups release Doxorubicin (Dox) at the tumor site minimizing systemic exposure. In animals, SQ3370 enhanced survival, T-cell infiltration and antitumor responses in injected and non-injected tumors. Minimal to no toxicity, including no cardiotoxicity was seen in up to 9-fold dose increases in animals. Conventional Dox can induce cardiomyopathy at incidences of 1-20% for cumulative doses from 300-500 mg/m 2 in humans and re-treatment with Dox is less effective in heavily pre-treated patients (pts). Here we report interim results of the Phase 1 ( NCT04106492 ). Methods: SQ3370 has 2 components: 1) Intratumoral injection of a protodrug-activating biopolymer (SQL70: 10 mL or 20 mL); 2) 5 consecutive daily IV infusions of an attenuated protodrug of Dox (SQP33). Key eligibility includes locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, ≤300 mg/m 2 prior exposure to Dox, ECOG 0-1 and no limit to prior systemic therapies. Primary objectives include safety and determining Phase 2 dose. Dose escalation was assessed in 2 stages: 1) accelerated titration; 2) 3+3 design. Results: As of 31JAN2022 data cut, 26 pts were treated, 21 with 10 mL biopolymer (bp) and 5 with 20 mL bp over 9 dose escalation protodrug cohorts. MTD has not been reached. Median age was 61 years (26-84), 62% were females, and 69% were ECOG 1. Prior procedures included surgery (89%) and radiation (62%). At study entry, 77% of pts had metastases with a median number of metastatic sites being 2 (1-5); most frequently lung (50%). Tumors were sarcoma (73%), breast cancer (7.7%), gyne (7.7%) and other (11.5%). Twenty-four of 26 (92%) pts received prior systemic therapies with 50% receiving prior Dox. Median number of prior systemic therapies was 2 (1-7). Of the 26 pts, 62% received 〉 500 mg/m 2 cumulative Dox given as SQP33. Median duration of treatment was 2 cycles (1-12). Most frequent AEs, regardless of causality, for the 10 mL bp group included nausea (n = 11), fatigue (n = 9) and anemia (n = 6), and for the 20 mL bp group included anemia (n = 3) and nausea (n = 2). Ejection fraction (LVEF) remained normal during the study period. No AEs that led to discontinuation or death were related to SQ3370 by investigator. At a median follow-up of 9.2 wks (3-37), 21 pts were evaluable. SD was best response in 71%. Median duration of SD was 80-dys (37-186) corresponding to an overall disease control rate (CR+ PR+ SD x 30-dys) of 71% (68% in 10 mL bp; 100% in 20 mL bp). The remainder of pts had PD as best response. Over 38% of pts remain on drug. Conclusions: SQ3370 with 10 mL or 20 mL biopolymer was well tolerated in pts with half being re-treated with Dox. Although 〉 60% of pts received 〉 500 mg/m 2 cumulative Dox given as SQP33, LVEF remained normal. Preliminary evidence of disease control was observed in pts despite heavy prior pre-treatment and high cancer burden. Dose escalation is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04106492.
