Abstract 3527
Background
Endoglin is an essential angiogenic receptor expressed on proliferating tumor vessels and RCC stem cells that is implicated as a mechanism of VEGF resistance. TRC105 is an endoglin monoclonal antibody that potentiates the anti-tumor activity of VEGF inhibitors in preclinical models and demonstrated a 29% RECIST response rate when combined with AX in patients with mRCC in a Phase 1b trial.
Methods
TRAXAR was a multicenter, randomized 1:1 (stratified by ECOG, 0 vs. 1), Phase 2 study of TRAX vs AX in patients with mRCC who had progressed following one prior VEGF inhibitor at 33 centers in the US and EU. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by RECIST by independent review committee (IRC). Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), and safety. PFS and ORR were also assessed by Investigator review (INV) and according to Choi criteria (CC).
Results
Of 150 pts (TRAX, 75; AX, 75), 106 (71%) were male, 142 (95%) were white; median age was 64 years (range, 38-82). Treatment with TRAX did not prolong PFS compared to AX. ORR was not different based on IRC, INV or CC (Table). Most all-grade common adverse events (AEs) in TRAX vs AX: headache (65.8% vs. 16.2%), epistaxis (63.0% vs. 8.1%), and diarrhea (60.3% vs. 59.5%); most common serious AEs included: anemia (6.9% vs. 1.4%) and dehydration (4.1% vs. 0%).Table:

NE: not estimable; CI: confidence interval; mo: months
Conclusions
TRC105 did not demonstrate activity when combined with AX in patients with mRCC who had received prior VEGF inhibitor treatment, whether assessed using RECIST or Choi criteria. TRAX was generally well tolerated in pts with advanced or metastatic RCC.
