    Abstract: 219 Background: Notch signaling is a key determinant of cell fate. RO492 is a selective γ-secretase inhibitor blocking cleavage of Notch. We hypothesize that anti-androgen therapy will lead to an enriched population of basal prostate cancer stem cells. Targeting Notch following anti-androgen treatment will lead to delay in re-growth of mature luminal PC cells. We are using a novel double blind, placebo controlled randomized discontinuation design to treat men with rising PSA. A non-castrating anti-androgen (BIC) was used to induce initial tumor regression Methods: Pts with rising PSA after primary therapy for PC, and no radiographic evidence of disease were enrolled in this ongoing study. All pts received BIC 50mg/day for 16 weeks (induction phase). Pts achieving a 〉 50% (modified from 80% decrease after the first 8 pts) decrease in PSA were randomized to placebo or RO492 20mg orally 3 days on/ 4 days off per week (randomization phase). Primary endpoint is PSA progression (increase in PSA by 50% over nadir with minimum PSA rise of 2ng/mL) during randomization phase. Pts meeting primary endpoint could receive 12 months of RO492 and BIC (combination phase). Serum is collected for evaluation of soluble markers of gamma secretase inhibition. 29 pts/arm in randomization phase gives 90% power to detect a decrease in1 yr PFS from 80% to 45% with 5% alpha. Results: We report on the first 16 patients that have enrolled. Median pretreatment PSA was 6.3ng/ml (0.35 to 34). 9 of 16 pts on the induction phase came off study due to PSA progression, although 5 of 9 pts would have been randomized using the 50% PSA response criteria. 6 pts have been randomized to RO492 or placebo (1 pt not yet randomized) and 2 pts have proceeded to combination phase. Median PSA decrease during induction phase in 6 pts who went on to randomization was 86% (69–97). Overall decline in PSA in induction phase was 67% (7.3-99%). Placebo/RO492 has been well tolerated with 1 pt experiencing g1 fatigue, and 1 pt experiencing g1 nausea in the combination phase. 8/16 pts had g1 breast tenderness with BIC. Conclusions: In this ongoing randomized phase II trial, BIC decreased PSA by 〉 50% in 12/16 pts. Placebo/RO492 is well tolerated. Enrollment continues with analysis of plasma correlates to be compared to clinical results.

    Abstract: Purpose: Many patients with BRAFV600E mutant melanoma treated with BRAF inhibitors experience a rapid response, but ultimately develop resistance. Insight into the mechanism of resistance is critical for development of more effective treatment strategies. Experimental Design: Comprehensive genomic profiling of serial biopsies was performed in a patient with a BRAFV600E mutant metastatic melanoma who developed resistance to vemurafenib. An AGAP3–BRAF fusion gene, identified in the vemurafenib-resistant tumor, was expressed in BRAFV600E melanoma cell lines, and its effect on drug sensitivity was evaluated. Results: Clinical resistance to vemurafenib in a melanoma harboring a BRAFV600E mutation was associated with acquisition of an AGAP3–BRAF fusion gene. Expression of the AGAP3–BRAF fusion in BRAFV600E mutant melanoma cells induced vemurafenib resistance; however, these cells remained relatively sensitive to MEK inhibitors. The patient experienced clinical benefit following treatment with the combination of a BRAF and a MEK inhibitor. Rebiopsy of the tumor at a later time point, after BRAF and MEK inhibitors had been discontinued, showed loss of the AGAP3–BRAF fusion gene. Mixing experiments suggest that cells harboring both BRAFV600E and AGAP3–BRAF only have a fitness advantage over parental BRAFV600E cells during active treatment with a BRAF inhibitor. Conclusions: We report acquisition of a BRAF fusion as a novel mechanism of acquired resistance to vemurafenib in a patient with melanoma harboring a BRAFV600E mutation. The acquisition and regression of clones harboring this fusion during the presence and absence of a BRAF inhibitor are consistent with rapidly evolving clonal dynamics in melanoma.

    Abstract: 464 Background: Treatment of patients with RCC using IAL from a haploidentical donor (sibling/parent), without prior conditioning of the recipient, induced tumor regressions in 3/13 patients with minimal toxicity (Strair J Clin Onc 2003:3785). Responses were not detected until after 2-3 courses, consistent with an immunologic mechanism. We hypothesize that combining the angiogenesis inhibitor SU with IAL will improve outcomes given the potential immune stimulatory benefit of VEGF inhibition and the benefit from preventing clinical progression prior to the development of an immune response in patients with rapid disease progression. Single agent SU has a median PFS of 11mos and response rate of 31%. Methods: Eligible pts with measurable metastatic clear cell RCC, no prior systemic therapy, adequate organ function, no CNS met, and a suitable donor (≥2/6 HLA A, B, DR match, CMV-, HIV-, HepB/C-) received SU 50mg/day in a 4 wk on/2wk off schedule with IAL administration commencing at the start of cycle number 2 of SU. IAL was given once every 8-16 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to determine the PFS of the combination of SU and IAL in 35 patients for 80% power to detect an increase in median PFS from 11 to 18 months. Results: A pre-planned futility analysis was performed. To date 9 pts (7M/2F), median age 63 (range 49-74) have been treated with 29 cycles of DLI. Median number of DLI/pt 2(1-7). 5 pts discontinued DLI due to disease progression, 4 due to loss of donor availability. Median time to disease progression was 41 weeks (range 12-180 weeks), with 4 pts on study for 〉 80 weeks. Response rate (CR+PR): 44% (1/9 CR, 3/9 PR, 2/9 SD, 3/9 PD). DLI was well tolerated with G2 fever in 1pt and G1 fever in 5 pts as the only DLI related AEs. SU related AE lead to SU dose reduction in 8/9 pts. Conclusions: Co-administration of SU and IAL is feasible and safe with no significant IAL related toxicity. Further study accrual is required to determine if SU plus IAL is superior to single agent SU. Clinical trial information: NCT00853125.

    Abstract: 102 Background: For patients who have a rising prostate-specific antigen value after definitive local therapy, androgen deprivation is a commonly employed option. However, immediate hormonal therapy has not been shown to alter the progression of the disease. Prior studies showed the dependence of early tumor growth and progression on anaerobic metabolism through glycolysis. Autophagy is conserved, genetically controlled catabolic response to starvation and stress whereby cells self-digest intracellular proteins and organelles by targeting them for degradation in lysosomes to generate energy and mitigate damage, thereby supporting cancer cell survival. Our hypothesis was that the autophagic inhibitor, hydroxychloroquine, when utilized in prostate cancer, would interfere with defective autophagy such that tumor growth will be slowed or stopped. Methods: Patients had rising PSA after primary therapy for PC, no radiographic evidence of metastasis, no (neo)adjuvant ADT within 3 months of enrollment and testosterone 〉 150 ng/dL. Hydroxychloroquine was dosed at 400 mg/day (cohort 1) or 600 mg/day (cohort 2). Endpoints were PSA response (change in slope of PSA rise by at least 25%, when log (PSA) is plotted vs. time). Results: 64 patients (36 cohort 1; 28 patients cohort 2) with median age 71(55-94) and baseline PSA was 3.25ng/ml (0.24- 45.69ng/ml) were enrolled in the study. 39 patients completed 6 months of hydroxychloroquine therapy and 44 patients completed 5 months of treatment. Out of 64 patients, 52 had at least 5 PSA measurements after the start of treatment, and we restrict our analysis to these patients. In 33 patients of these 52 (63%), the doubling time decreased after treatment began. In 12 of these 52 (23%), the “doubling time” turned negative, consistent with decreasing PSA value. Most common adverse events were diarrhea (26%), nausea (12%) and rash (12%). Conclusions: Hydroxychloroquine appears to have some activity in PSA progression after localized therapy with minimal toxicity. Given that hydroxychloroquine has limited side effects, this drug has the potential to augment responses to hormonal therapy or chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT00726596.

    Abstract: 89 Background: Single agent atorvastatin and celecoxib have been associated with reductions in the risk of PC. Our laboratories have demonstrated that low doses of the drug combination have synergistic effects inhibiting the progression of LNCaP tumors to androgen independence. We therefore sought to determine the effects of the combination in androgen-dependent PC on PSA kinetics and the plasma correlates of IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), PGE-2, and the pharmacokinetics of the drug combination to validate preclinical biomarker findings. Methods: Patients with rising PSA after primary therapy for PC were enrolled. Patient must have three rising PSA values, each obtained at least 1 month apart. No prior hormone-ablative therapy was allowed, except in the neoadjuvant setting or in the setting of salvage XRT completed 3 months prior to enrollment. Patients with any history of coronary artery disease or a previous myocardial infarction in the past 6 months were excluded. All patients were treated with atorvastatin 20 mg daily and celecoxib 200 mg twice a day for 6 months. Paired pre-treatment and on treatment PSA kinetics were compared using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Results: We report on 14 patients that have completed therapy. Median pretreatment PSA slope was 0.14 log PSA/mo (median PSADT 4.98 mos), in contrast to the median on treatment slope of 0.09 log PSA/mo (median PSADT 7.37 mos); p=0.11. Eleven of the fourteen patients completed the 6 months of therapy, 1 patient withdrew and 2 patients therapy was stopped early due to lack of response. A declining PSA was observed in one patient. The combination was well tolerated, with no clinically significant therapy related toxicities ( 〉 grade 1) reported in 76 months of therapy. Conclusions: In this ongoing phase II trial, the combination of low dose atorvastatin and celecoxib has been well tolerated and demonstrates a tendency of increasing PSA doubling time. Enrollment continues with analysis of IL-6, CRP, and PGE-2 to be correlated to individual clinical results.

    Abstract: TPS5090 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including NIVO (anti–PD-1), have demonstrated favorable tolerability and efficacy profiles, ushering in a new treatment (tx) paradigm for advanced bladder cancer (advBC). However, an unmet need exists for new effective tx options in earlier stages of disease, specifically for patients (pts) with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk NMIBC. Increased IDO and PD-L1 expression in NMIBC tumors (Inman, et al. Cancer 2007; Hudolin, et al. Anticancer Res 2017), support the combination of anti–PD-1 and IDO1 inhibition in NMIBC. Linrodostat mesylate, a selective, potent, once-daily IDO1 inhibitor, has demonstrated clinical activity in combination with NIVO in pts with immunotherapy-naive advBC who received ≥ 1 prior line of therapy (objective response rate, 37%; Tabernero, et al. J Clin Oncol 2018;36(suppl) [abstr 4512]). Furthermore, high levels of PD-L1 expression have been reported in patients not responding to BCG tx. These findings provide a rationale for investigation of NIVO ± linrodostat ± intravesical BCG therapy in BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC. Here we describe a phase 2, randomized, open-label study assessing the safety and efficacy of NIVO ± linrodostat ± intravesical BCG in pts with BCG-unresponsive, high-risk NMIBC (NCT03519256). Methods: Pts aged ≥ 18 years with BCG-unresponsive (per February 2018 FDA guidance), high-risk NMIBC, defined as carcinoma-in-situ (CIS) with or without papillary component, any T1, or Ta high-grade lesions, will be enrolled. Pts must have urothelial carcinoma as the predominant histological component ( 〉 50%). Key exclusion criteria include locally advanced or metastatic BC, upper urinary tract disease within 2 years, prostatic urethral disease within 1 year, and prior immunotherapy. Using a novel adaptive-type design, pts will be randomized to 1 of 4 tx arms with NIVO ± linrodostat ± BCG. Primary endpoints include proportion of pts with CIS with complete response (CR) and duration of CR in pts with CIS. Secondary endpoints are progression-free survival and safety. This global study in 14 countries is underway, with a target enrollment of 436 pts. Clinical trial information: NCT03519256 .
