Abstract 4530
Background
ALRN-6924 is a stabilized, cell-permeating alpha-helical peptide that mimics the p53 tumor suppressor protein to disrupt p53’s interactions with its endogenous inhibitors, MDM2 and MDMX. ALRN-6924 has been evaluated in > 175 cancer patients and demonstrated single-agent activity and a well-tolerated single-agent safety profile. MDM2 amplification is an oncogenic event found in up to 4% of all cancers. Co-amplification of MDM2 and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), which are co-located on chromosome 12q13, provides the rationale for combined use of the MDM2-inhibitor ALRN-6924 and the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib in this population, and is further supported by enhanced combination activity in preclinical models.
Methods
This trial is designed to enroll 25 patients with solid tumors harboring wild-type p53 and MDM2 amplification or MDM2/CDK4 co-amplifications. Patients have exhausted or are not eligible for other treatment options. ALRN-6924 is given at a dose of 3.1 mg/kg as IV infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15, and palbociclib is given as an oral dose of 100 mg/day on Days 1-21 of every 28-day treatment cycle. The first nine patients enrolled were evaluated for safety and tolerability after completion of one treatment cycle (safety lead-in). Anti-tumor activity is evaluated with imaging every 8 weeks.
Results
Patient enrollment started in December 2018. As of April 30, 12 patients were enrolled; tumor types include liposarcoma (N = 10), osteosarcoma and glioblastoma (1 of each); 11/12 patients had tumors that were MDM2 and CDK4 co-amplified. The combination was generally well tolerated with transient, self-resolving Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia (N = 7) emerging as the principal but not dose limiting toxicity. Other Grade 3 and 4 adverse events include thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, increased ALT, pulmonary embolism, and fall. An interim analysis of activity and safety (N = 15 patients with ≥2 post baseline CT scans) is scheduled for early September 2019 and the results will be presented.
Conclusions
The combination of ALRN-6924 and palbociclib at pharmacologically relevant doses is feasible and generally well tolerated.
