Abstract 3170
Background
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2α is a transcription factor that is a key oncogenic driver in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). PT2977 is a potent and selective small molecule HIF-2α inhibitor that prevents HIF-2α from heterodimerizing with HIF-1β, blocking the expression of HIF-2α target genes in tumour cells, and inducing regressions in mouse xenograft RCC models.
Methods
Patients with advanced solid tumours were treated with PT2977 in a dose-escalation design to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Patients with advanced clear cell RCC who had received at least one prior therapy were enrolled in an expansion cohort at the RP2D of 120 mg orally once daily.
Results
55 pts were treated with PT2977 120 mg (three in dose escalation; 52 in expansion). Median number of prior therapies was 3 (1-9). 73% of patients were intermediate risk and 18% were poor risk by IMDC criteria. As of March 15, 2019, the most common all-grade, all-cause adverse events (AEs) > 25% are anemia (75%), fatigue (64%), dyspnea (44%), nausea (33%), peripheral edema (29%) and cough (27%). Anemia (20%) and hypoxia (11%) are the most common Grade 3 AEs and on-target effects of HIF2α inhibition. Discontinuation due to a treatment-related AE was reported in 2 patients (4%). 13 patients (24%) experienced a confirmed PR and 30 patients (54%) had SD, with a clinical benefit rate of 78%. Follow-up for all patients has been at least 40 weeks and the probability of PFS at 40 weeks is 50.1%.
Conclusions
PT2977 is well tolerated and has a favorable safety profile. The clinical activity of PT2977 shows promise for the treatment of RCC. A PT2977 monotherapy Phase 3 trial in previously treated advanced RCC patients is planned.
