    Abstract: 377 Background: Metformin impacts immune response in several ways. It protects CD8 TILs from apoptotic death, downregulates CD39 and CD73, reduces MDSC activity and suppresses the transcription of PD1 thus enhancing CD8+ T cell antitumor activity (Ma et al, 2000, Nature). There is limited data on the immunologic impact of metformin treatment in hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Methods: We conducted an open label, randomized, phase II trial of bicalutamide with or without metformin of patients with high risk, biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (NCT02614859). Patients were randomized 1:2 to observation for an initial 8 weeks or metformin 1000 mg twice daily. Bicalutamide 50 mg/day was added after 8 weeks to both arms. The study discontinued accrual after interim analysis indicated no difference in PSA at 32 weeks between the two arms; however, metformin monotherapy for 8 weeks induced modest PSA declines observed in 40% of patients. Here we report immune responses in a subgroup of patients (N=12), including systemic cytokine levels and 158 circulating immune cell subsets after 8 weeks of metformin monotherapy. Results: Twelve patients treated at the NCI were analyzed. After 8 weeks, the metformin arm showed increased pDCs and lower Tregs compared to baseline. Significant differences in the percent change of immune parameters after 8 weeks of metformin monotherapy compared to 8 weeks of observation are summarized. Conclusions: Metformin has been shown to reduce markers of immune exhaustion in hormone sensitive prostate cancer which is supported by a greater reduction of PD-1 + and Tim3 + NK cells. Additional immune changes included increases in activated subpopulations of natural killer (NK) cells, which have been reported as a potential predictive biomarker of prolonged treatment response to hormone therapy in prostate cancer (Pasero et al, Oncotarget, 2015). Clinical trial information: NCT02614859 . [Table: see text]

    Abstract: 108 Background: Cabozantinib (C) is a multikinase inhibitor of c-Met, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor two and RET. C has shown activity in metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), with resolution of bone lesions on bone scan (BS), regression of soft tissue/visceral disease (STD), reductions in circulating tumor cells and bone biomarkers. Combining docetaxel (D) with other agents, without overlapping toxicities, can target different cellular signaling pathways necessary for tumor survival. Methods: Patients (pts), with no prior D for CRPC, receive a fixed dose of D (75 mg/m2 IV day one of each 21 day cycle) and prednisone (P) (5 mg po q12 hours) with C at three escalating dose levels: 20 mg, 40 mg, or 60 mg (all po daily). Using a standard three-plus-three design, three to six pts are treated at each dose level until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has been defined. Results: Thirteen pts have been accrued; four on dose level one, six on dose level two, and three on dose level three. Median age 69 (45 to 84). Four pts have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of zero and nine pts have a PS of one. Median Gleason score is nine (7 to 10). Median on-study prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is 129.2 ng/mL (0.01-508.5 ng/mL). Median cycles is six (1 to 17). Grade 1 adverse events (AEs), possibly related to C; dysgeusia (4/12), oral mucositis (4/12), increased ALT (3/12), and epistaxis (3/12). Grade 2 AEs; nausea (2/12), hand/foot syndrome (2/12), fatigue (2/12), dysgeusia (2/12), oral mucositis (2/12), hypophosphatemia (2/12), and anemia (2/12). Grade 3 AE is hypophosphatemia (2/12). Grade 4 AE is neutropenia (1/12). MTD of C is 60 mg. Of nine evaluable pts, six have bone only disease. Of these six, three pts have PSA declines of less than 30% with improvement on BS (two pts) or stable BS (one pt). The other three pts have PSA declines of greater than 30% and bone scan improvement. Three pts have STD and bone disease; one patient had a PSA decline of greater than 30% with improvement on BS and SD by CT scan. One patient had an increase in PSA of less than 30% with improvement on BS and CT. The third pt had PD by CT and an increase in PSA equal to 30%. PFS probability at six months is 90.0% and is 67.5% at eight months and beyond. Conclusions: The addition of C to D and P, has an acceptable toxicity profile. CT scan and BS improvements did not correlate with PSA declines in all pts. An expansion cohort will combine D plus P with C at the MTD (60 mg) to determine clinical benefit. Clinical trial information: NCT01683994.

    Abstract: 215 Background: Annually about 30-50,000 men are diagnosed with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCRpc), defined by a rising PSA after radical prostatectomy (RP) or definitive radiation therapy (RT) with negative conventional imaging (CT and bone scan). Standard treatments include salvage therapies, androgen deprivation or surveillance. The role of immunotherapy in BCRpc is undefined. Methods: This study evaluates PROSTVAC, a pox-viral based therapeutic cancer vaccine targeting PSA, in BCRpc. Key eligibility criteria include PSA 〉 0.8 after RP or 〉 2.0 after RT with a maximum PSA of 30, PSA doubling time (DT): 5-15 months; testosterone 〉 100, negative CT and bone scan. Patients (pts) are randomized to vaccine for 6 months or 6 months surveillance followed by 6 months of vaccine. In a post hoc analysis delayed PSA declines were characterized as a confirmed PSA decline after an intra-study apex PSA (ISAP) defined by a peak PSA affirmed by a contiguous PSA within 10% (to exclude lab variations). 80 pts will be enrolled at NCI, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Results: Of the 26 pts enrolled thus far, 22 have been followed for 〉 9 months after vaccine and are evaluable. On-study median values were age 66.8 years (54-78), PSA 2.67 ng/ml (0.83-28.5), PSA DT 7.5 months (5.1-14.9). 8 pts (38%) had delayed PSA declines after ISAP (-12% to -99%). Of 13 pts on surveillance for 6 months, only one pt had a similar decline lasting only 56 days. Conclusions: Preliminary data from this study suggests that PROSTVAC may be associated with delayed, but sustained PSA declines in BCRpc which are rarely seen in surveillance alone. Additional data will be acquired from this study, but this provides rationale to develop immunotherapy combinations in BCRpc. Clinical trial information: NCT02649439. [Table: see text]

    Abstract: TPS3127 Background: Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been genetically modified to express CEA protein and developed under a CRADA with GlobeImmune/NCI as a heat-killed immune-stimulating, therapeutic cancer vaccine (GI-6207). A phase I study with GI-6207 demonstrated safety, biomarker stabilization and enhanced immune response in some patients. CEA is over-expressed in multiple malignancies, including medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Two therapies recently approved by the FDA for metastatic MTC (vandetanib, cabozantinib) come with toxicity and should be reserved for symptomatic/progressive disease. However, a large population of asymptomatic MTC patients has small tumor burden and/or disease that is more indolent. The standard management of these patients is observation. Preliminary data suggest that tumor growth measured by the rate of CEA and calcitonin increase can be quantified in a 3-6 months. Retrospective data from prostate cancer studies suggest vaccines can alter growth rates within 3-4 months. We hypothesize that GI-6207 can alter tumor growth rates in MTC and impact long-term outcome. Methods: A phase II study will evaluate the effect of GI-6207 onthe rates ofincrease in calcitonin in metastatic MTC. 34 patients with minimally symptomatic, radiographically evaluable, metastatic MTC will be randomized 1:1. Arm A will receive vaccine for a year from the time of enrollment. Arm B will receive vaccine after 6 months of surveillance. GI-6207 will be administered subcutaneously at 4 sites (10 yeast units/site), every 2 weeks for 3 months, then monthly up to 1 year. The primary endpoint will compare the effect of GI-6207 on calcitonin kinetics between the vaccine and surveillance arms in the first 6 months. Secondary endpoints include immunologic responses (including antigen-specific T cell responses), objective responses, time to progression, and changes in CEA kinetics. If this trial can prospectively demonstrate that vaccines can alter tumor growth rates, and if such changes are associated with clinical outcomes, then changes in tumor growth rates may become a clinical metric to evaluate vaccine efficacy in MTC and other populations.

    Abstract: 2518 Background: More than 630,000 cases of HPV related cancer occur worldwide annually. About 15-20% of cases respond to PD-(L)1 inhibitors and about 30% respond to dual PD-L1/TGF-β blockade including 10% of checkpoint refractory pts, but for the majority of pts with checkpoint refractory disease there is no effective standard therapy. Preclinical studies show that the combination of PDS0101, a therapeutic vaccine targeting HPV 16 E6/E7, M9241, a tumor-targeting IL-12 immunocytokine, and bintrafusp alfa (BA), a bifunctional fusion protein targeting TGF-β and PD-L1, resulted in maximum T cell infiltration and tumor reduction compared to any 1 or 2 of these agents alone. Prior clinical data suggests that the combination is preferentially active in HPV 16+ disease. Methods: 30 pts with advanced HPV 16+ cancer were treated with PDS0101, M9241 and BA (NCT04287868). Pts received BA at 1200 mg IV q2wks, M9241 at 16.8 mcg/kg SC q4wks or 8 mcg/kg SC q2wks, and PDS0101 as two 0.5 ml SC injections q4wks. Dose reductions or skipped doses for toxicities of BA and M9241 were allowed. 5 pts had surgical resection of tumor for disease control and were censored for PD but not survival. Results: 30 pts (9 cervical, 2 vaginal/vulvar, 6 anal, 13 oropharyngeal) were treated. 13/30 had grade 3 treatment related AEs including grade 3 anemia in 9 pts associated with grade 3 hematuria in 3 pts and grade 3 GI bleeding in 3 pts. 2 pts had grade 3 AST/ALT elevation. Grade 3 flu like symptoms and grade 3 hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were each seen in 1 pt. One pt had grade 3 lymphopenia/leukopenia plus grade 4 neutropenia and one pt had grade 4 AST/ALT elevation. There were no grade 5 treatment related AEs. 7/8 (88%) pts with checkpoint naïve disease had objective responses (OR) including 1 delayed response after initial PD with 4/7 (57%) responses ongoing (median 17 months follow up). 10/22 (45%) with checkpoint refractory disease have had disease reduction including 6/22 (27%) with OR and 4/6 (67%) responses ongoing (median 12 months follow up). 6/8 (75%) pts with checkpoint naïve disease and 17/22 (77%) pts with checkpoint refractory disease are alive after a median of 17 and 12 months follow up respectively. For checkpoint refractory pts, M9241 dosing appears to affect response rates. 5/8 (63%) pts receiving M9241 at 16.8 mcg/kg had an OR compared to 1/14 (7%) who received M9241 at 8 mcg/kg with an OR. However, despite differences in response rates with higher vs lower M9241 dose, survival outcomes were similar irrespective of M9241 dose (p = 0.99 by Kaplan Meier analysis). Conclusions: The combination of PDS0101, M9241 and BA appears to have a manageable safety profile along with early evidence of clinical activity for pts with checkpoint naïve and refractory advanced HPV 16+ cancer. Moreover, growing data suggest that all 3 drugs in the combination contribute to the encouraging outcomes being observed. Clinical trial information: NCT04287868.

    Abstract: 30 Background: Endorectal(er) MRI is an emerging tool in assessing intraprostatic tumors. Immunotherapy development in prostate cancer has been limited due to the lack of intermediate (bio)markers of response. Methods: Untreatedpts with high-risk prostate cancer were randomized in a trial (NCT01496131) of standard ADT+Radiation + an immunotherapy targeting MUC1 (tecemotide, aka L-BLP25). Pts had erMRI at baseline and after 2 months of ADT+/- biweekly immunotherapy. Low dose (300 mg/m 2 , maximum 600 mg) cyclophosphamide for regulatory T-cell depletion preceded first immunotherapy. Multiparametric MRI included evaluation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps from diffusion-weighted MRI. Monthly peripheral blood assessments utilized flow cytometry to evaluate immune cell subsets. This analysis focuses on the 2 month neoadjuvant period of ADT+/-immunotherapy before radiation. Results: 28 pts (n = 14/arm) with high risk prostate cancer (Gleason 8-10, PSA 〉 20, or stage T3) were enrolled. PSA declined in all pts 2 months after ADT. erMRI findings at 2 months indicated greater improvements in ADC values in pts receiving immunotherapy+ADT vs. ADT alone. Improved ADC on MRI suggests improvements in intratumoral diffusion and has been associated with decreased tumor density. This relative improvement between the groups occurred both per patient (p = 0.16) and per lesion (p = 0.031). Relative to baseline, pts receiving immunotherapy+ADT had increases in CTLA4 + CD8 + T-cells consistent with immune activation (p = 0.0134) and decreases in myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs; p = 0.0353) during the neoadjuvant period corresponding to the erMRI changes. These immune findings were not seen in the ADT alone group. Conclusions: Pts who received immunotherapy+ADT for 2 months had greater improvements in ADC values on erMRI, consistent with decreased tumor density, relative to pts receiving ADT alone. Corresponding increases in activated CD8 + T-cells and decreases in MDSCs were seen in pts receiving vaccine+ADT. These preliminary findings suggest that ADC on MRI may be useful in assessing immunologic impact. Further study is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT01496131.

    Abstract: 159 Background: Despite recent progress, mCRPC remains a lethal disease. While programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) inhibitors have shown activity in variety of malignancies, to this point there is minimal evidence of activity in mCRPC. This is a report of avelumab, anti-PDL1 in mCRPC patients (pts). Methods: This is an expansion cohort of the first in human, phase I trial (JAVELIN Solid Tumor; EMR100070-001) that evaluated 10 mg/kg of avelumab in pts with mCRPC who had progressive disease (PD) on previous treatment. Pts who had PD on an androgen receptor antagonist (ARA) could enroll on trial and continue their ARA. Avelumab was administered as a 1-hour intravenous infusion every 2 weeks (w) with restaging scans every 6 w. Prostate cancer working group 2 criteria were used to determine PD. Results: 18 patients were enrolled on this cohort; the median age of pts was 67 years. Median on study PSA was 11ng/mL. 11 pts had Gleason score (GS) ≥ 8 and 7 had GS of 7. 3 pts had previous chemotherapy with docetaxel, 8 pts received previous vaccine treatment including 4 pts with sipuleucel-T and 4 pts with Prostvac. Overall avelumab treatment was safe and tolerable. 15 pts experienced grade ≤ 2 treatment related adverse events (TRAEs), fatigue being the most common one. 4 pts developed treatment related hypothyroidism, 3 with grade 2 and 1 with grade 1. In addition, 2 pts had grade 3 asymptomatic TRAEs (amylase & lipase elevations). 7 pts had stable disease (SD) 〉 24 w post treatment, 6 pts had PD after first restaging scans at 6 w which was reconfirmed in 2 nd restaging scan at 12 w. PSA doubling time (PSADT) prior to avelumab was compared with PSADT after 3 months (m) of treatment. Among 17 pts with available data, 3 pts had a prolonged PSADT which was defined at 3 m (twice as high as on-study PSADT), 7 pts had stable PSADT and 7 had decreased PSADT. 5 of 18 pts enrolled while on enzalutamide with a rising PSA. Among these pts 1 had prolonged PSADT, 2 had a stable PSADT and 2 with decreased PSADT after 3 m of follow up. 3 of 5 pts had SD 〉 24 m, 1 had SD for 13 w and 1 had PD at first restaging scans. Conclusions: These data provide safety data of avelumab on a population of pts with mCRPC. Immune analysis is under way to determine correlation with immune responses in the pts on this trial that had prolonged SD. Clinical trial information: NCT01772004.

    Abstract: 85 Background: Recombinant poxviruses have been developed as therapeutic cancer vaccines. Here, we report the safety data from NCI clinical trials with poxviral vaccines. Methods: We evaluated all vaccine injections from 215 patients in 8 clinical trials involving poxviral viral vaccines. The Office of Biotechnology Activities, National Cancer Institute (NCI) Institutional Review Board, and NCI Scientific Review Committee approved all of these trials. Vaccines were consisted of recombinant vaccinia and recombinant fowlpox encoded with 3 human costimulatory molecules (TRICOM), and prostate specific antigen (PSA), or carcinoembryonic antigen, and/or mucin-1. Vaccines were administered at doses between 1.2x10 8 to 2x10 9 pfu, subcutaneously, in all patients. Twenty-one patients were also vaccinated intra-tumorally. 84 patients also received other concurrent treatment modalities, such as radiation, celecoxib, ipilimumab, samarium-153, or flutamide on 4 of these trials. All 8 clinical trials involved granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) 100mcg, or recombinant fowlpox encoding GM-CSF at 1x 10 8 pfu as an immune adjuvant. Here, we report here the grade 2 or higher adverse events given at least a possible attribution to vaccine. Results: A total of 1,348 poxviral injections were given in 215 patients. No contact transmission, inadvertent inoculation, or any serious adverse events (AEs) related to vaccinia was observed. Below is the summary of proportion of vaccine administrations associated with specific AEs. Conclusions: These data demonstrate a favorable safety profile of the poxviral vaccines at a broad range of doses, routes of administration, in combination with other treatments, and in various tumor types.
