Abstract 3515

Background

MEDI0680 is a humanised IgG4κ anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) mAb. We hypothesised that simultaneous blockade of PD-1:PD-L1/PD-L2 with MEDI0680 (M) and PD-1:PD-L1/CD80 with anti-PD-L1 mAb durvalumab (D) would improve efficacy vs blockade of the PD-1:PD-L1/PD-L2 pathway (with nivolumab; N) alone. M+D was well tolerated in the dose-escalation phase of a Phase I/II study in pts with advanced solid tumours, with an ORR of 33% (10/30; including 3/4 RCC pts). In the Phase II portion of the study, we compared M+D to N in a dose-expansion cohort of pretreated, immunotherapy (IO)-naïve pts with metastatic ccRCC.

Methods

Eligible pts had received 1–3 prior therapy lines, no prior IO exposure and ≥1 measurable lesion. They were randomised 2:1 (stratified by MSKCC risk group and PD-L1 expression) to M 20 mg/kg IV + D 750 mg Q2W or N 240 mg IV Q2W until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, for ≤2 years. Endpoints included investigator-assessed ORR by RECIST v1.1 (primary endpoint), PFS and safety (secondary). Sample size was ∼60 to detect a difference of 26.0% (ie, ORR = 47.5%, assuming ORR of 21.5% for N) with 76% power at a 1-sided significance level of 0.10.

Results

By Feb 24, 2019, 63 pts were randomised. Baseline pt/disease characteristics were generally well balanced, but more pts on N had favourable MSKCC risk (7/21; 33.3%) vs M+D (10/42; 23.8%). ORR was 14.3% (6/42; 2 CR, 4 PR; plus 2 unconfirmed PR) vs 19.0% (4/21; 4 PR, 0 unconfirmed) for M+D and N, respectively. There was no difference between arms in ORR by PD-L1 expression (<1% vs ≥ 1%). All responses are ongoing. Median PFS was 3.6 months in both arms. Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) occurred in 26% on M+D (including 1 case of autoimmune encephalitis) and 19% on N. On M+D, 12% had TRAEs leading to treatment discontinuation, including colitis or diarrhoea (n = 3) and increased ALT/transaminases (n = 2), vs 5% on N (pancreatitis and increased lipase and amylase in 1 pt). There were no Grade 5 TRAEs.

Conclusions

Efficacy was similar with combined M+D and N monotherapy in pts with TKI-pretreated, IO-naïve, metastatic ccRCC, but more pts discontinued M+D due to TRAEs.
