Abstract 4844

Background

Platinum-based chemotherapy remains the standard of care for patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC). Despite the use of first-line (1L) PD-1/PD-1L inhibitors, 71–76% of pts who are cisplatin-ineligible do not respond. EV is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4, which is highly expressed in mUC. EV monotherapy data are encouraging; combination therapy may provide additional benefit. Here, we report initial data on a cohort of cis-ineligible pts receiving 1L EV + pembrolizumab.

Methods

This phase 1b study (NCT03288545) evaluated the safety/activity of EV + pembrolizumab. In the dose-escalation cohort, 1L or 2L pts received 1.0 or 1.25 mg/kg EV + 200 mg pembrolizumab. Cohort A pts received the recommended dose of 1.25 mg/kg EV + pembrolizumab as 1L therapy. In each 21-day cycle, EV was administered on Days 1 and 8 and pembrolizumab on Day 1. The primary endpoint was safety/tolerability; key secondary objectives: recommended EV dose, antitumor activity, DCR, DOR, PFS, and OS.

Results

As of 20 Feb 2019, 29 la/mUC pts (median 68 [51–90] y; 31% liver metastasis, 17% ECOG 2) have been treated with EV (1.25 mg/kg) + pembrolizumab in the 1L setting and completed at least 2 post-baseline scans or discontinued treatment. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) were fatigue (66%, 14% ≥Grade 3), decreased appetite (52%, 0% ≥Grade 3), alopecia (45%), and diarrhea (41%, 3% ≥Grade 3). Among AE of clinical interest, rash of any type occurred in 45% of pts (14% ≥Grade 3), peripheral neuropathy of any type in 52% (3% ≥Grade 3), and 17% experienced immune-mediated events that required systemic steroid treatment (10% ≥Grade 3). Overall, 2 pts (7%) discontinued treatment with EV + pembrolizumab due to AE (lipase increase,multi-organ failure). Preliminary confirmed ORR per RECIST 1.1 was 62% by investigators, including a 14% CR rate. The DCR was 90%.

Conclusions

In 1L cis-ineligible pts with la/mUC, EV + pembrolizumab demonstrates encouraging efficacy with a tolerable and manageable safety profile. Further evaluation of this combination is warranted. Updated data, including responses pending confirmation, will be available at the meeting.
