Abstract 1281

Background

Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive subtype associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options, and new effective medicines are needed. We have developed a novel class of SecTRAP- forming small molecules that lead to a change-of-function of thioredoxin reductase that is cytotoxic to cancer cells (Staffort et al. Sci Transl Med, 2018). However, the immunomodulatory effects of OT-1096 are unknown. This study examined the efficacy of OT-1096 in humanized CD34+ NSG mice bearing patient-derived TNBC xenografts and compared the efficacy of OT-1096 to pembrolizumab. Additionally, the immunoactivating effects of OT-1096 were analyzed.

Methods

NSG mice, humanized with CD34+ stem cells from 3 different human donors were engrafted with TNBC invasive ductal carcinoma patient-derived xenografts. The mice were treated with OT-1096 (10mg/kg IV) tiwk and was compared to treatment with pembrolizumab (10mg/kg initial dose, thereafter 5mg/kg IP) biwk, single agent and in combination with OT-1096. Tumor volume was measured using calipers for 31 days and xenografts were analyzed with FACS to determine immune cell infiltration at day 41(sacrifice).

Results

OT-1096 showed statistically significant tumor growth inhibition (TGI: 63%) when comparing treatments arms with all three donors combined. OT-1096 also presented improved tumor growth control compared to pembrolizumab. FACs analysis of xenografts showed OT-1096-treated tumors to have a lower fraction of Tregs within the TIL population as compared to controls. OT-1096 treatment was both safe and well tolerated.

Conclusions

OT-1096 shows promising results in a humanized mouse TNBC PDX model with improved tumor growth inhibition compared to pembrolizumab. The results suggest that OT-1096 possesses both redox system modulation and beneficial immunomodulatory potential, and warrants further investigations of OT-1096 in TNBC and other malignancies.
