Abstract 3568
Background
Notch signaling plays a key role in tumorigenesis. AL101 is a γ-secretase inhibitor that potently inhibits signaling through Notch receptors 1-4. AL101 has robust antitumor activity in ACC patient-derived xenograft models with Notchact mut (AACR ‘19, Abstr 4885). In P1 testing, AL101 was well tolerated, with manageable AEs and a recommended P2 dose of 4 mg IV QW (ASCO ‘18, Abstr 2515). One of the 4 responders in P1 had ACC with Notchact mut. ACC is a rare chemotherapy-refractory cancer of the secretory glands. Notchact mut are found in ∼20% of ACC pts, characterized by a particularly aggressive disease and poor prognosis. There is no proven active treatment for R/M ACC.
Methods
ACCURACY (NCT03691207) is an open-label, single-arm, multicenter study of AL101 (4 mg IV QW) in R/M ACC pts (bone-exclusive disease allowed) with known Notch1-4act mut (ASCO ‘19, Abstr TPS6098). Pts with disease progression ≤6 months of enrollment or newly diagnosed metastatic disease are allowed. Primary endpoint: ORR by RECIST v1.1 (or modified MD Anderson bone criteria), by independent review committee (IRC). Secondary endpoints: ORR by investigator review (IR), duration of response by IRC and IR, PFS by IRC, OS, and safety. Per Simon optimal design, 12 pts are enrolled in stage 1; if ≥ 2 pts respond, 24 additional pts are enrolled in stage 2. If ≥ 6 pts of 36 respond, the trial is deemed positive. This design yields 5% type I error rate and 80% power, if ORR is 25%.
Results
In stage 1, 12 pts are being treated (median of 1.5 cycles, as of May ‘19). Most pts are males, with ECOG PS of 0, and with Notch mutations in the PEST domain (Table).Table: 1148P

Conclusions
In the stage 1 of the ACCURACY trial, 12 pts with Notch1-4act mut are being treated with the pan-Notch inhibitor AL101. The trial will advance to stage 2 if ≥ 2 pts respond. Efficacy/safety data on these first 12 pts will be presented at the meeting. Accrual to stage 2 is ongoing.
