Abstract 1048
Background
Intimal sarcoma is an extremely rare, high-grade malignant neoplasm arising in the tunica intima of large blood vessels, most frequently the pulmonary arteries and aorta. In human tumors that retain wild-type p53 protein, p53 activity is often inhibited by interaction with murine double minute 2 (MDM2). As MDM2 amplification is found in over 70% of intimal sarcomas, inhibition of MDM2 could provide clinical benefit in this patient population. Milademetan is a novel specific small-molecule inhibitor of MDM2 that disrupts the MDM2-p53 interaction in tumor cells. A cell-free study using recombinant MDM2 and p53 proteins demonstrated inhibition of MDM2-p53 binding by milademetan (IC50: 5.57nM). Treatment with milademetan resulted in a concentration-dependent increase of p21 and PUMA mRNA levels in an osteosarcoma cell line harboring MDM2 gene-amplification. Milademetan also inhibited cell growth in different cell lines with wild-type p53 (GI50s: 0.043 - 0.276μM), but not p53 mutant or null cell lines (GI50s: >10μM). We focus on targeting MDM2-p53 axis with milademetan in patients with intimal sarcoma.
Trial design
This is a phase II, open-label, 2-part study at a single site. Eligible patients will be at least 18 years old with intimal sarcoma who also have MDM2 amplification (≧4-fold). Part 1 (safety lead-in cohort) will enroll 3 subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of milademetan (260 mg qdx3 every 14 days twice in a 28-days cycle). Part 2 of the study will enroll an open-ended number of subjects. Overall, enrollment of ≥ 5 subjects with advanced intimal sarcoma is planned in the next 3 years. The primary endpoint of the study is objective response rate which will be assessed in all subjects enrolled in Parts 1 and 2 who have received milademetan. Due to the absence of any effective treatment for intimal sarcoma, at least 1 patient with objective response will be regarded as clinically meaningful. Secondary endpoints include safety, pharmacokinetics, disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Enrollment began in Dec 2018. As of 1 Apr 2019, 3 subjects have been enrolled into Part 1.
