Abstract 128P

Background

Tislelizumab, an investigational monoclonal antibody with high affinity and specificity for PD-1, was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages in order to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. In prior reports, tislelizumab, as a single agent and in combination with various chemotherapies, was generally well tolerated and had antitumor activity in pts with advanced solid tumors. This phase 2 study (NCT03469557) assessed tislelizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy in pts with inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic GC/GEJC or ESCC.

Methods

Patients with GC/GEJC received tislelizumab (200 mg IV Q3W) + oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 IV Q3W for ≤6 cycles) and capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, Days 1-15 orally BID Q3W); pts with ESCC received tislelizumab + cisplatin (80 mg/m2 IV Q3W for ≤6 cycles) and 5FU (800 mg/m2/d, Days 1-5 IV Q3W for ≤6 cycles). Response was assessed using RECIST v1.1, Kaplan-Meier analysis estimated survival, and adverse event (AE) monitoring examined safety/tolerability.

Results

As of 31 Mar 2019, 30 pts with GC/GEJC and ESCC (n = 15 each) were enrolled. Median age was 61 yr; most pts were male (n = 25). Clinical responses were observed during treatment (Table). In pts with ESCC, treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) of grade ≥3 occurring in ≥ 2 pts were vomiting and dysphagia (n = 4 each), hyponatremia (n = 3), and anemia, leukopenia, fatigue, lung infection, and decreased weight (n = 2 each). No grade ≥3 TEAEs occurred in ≥ 2 pts with GC/GEJC. One pt with ESCC had a fatal AE (hepatic dysfunction) attributed to treatment by the investigator, but which may have been confounded by progressive disease and underlying hepatitis.Table:
