Abstract 4119
Background
Chemotherapy (CT) treatments with robust efficacy that preserve quality of life are needed. Tesetaxel (T) is a novel, oral taxane that has potential advantages over currently available taxanes, including: oral administration with a low pill burden and once every 3 week (Q3W) dosing; no observed hypersensitivity reactions; and preclinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) penetration and improved activity against CT-resistant tumors. More than 600 pts have been treated with T in clinical studies. T had robust monotherapy activity in a phase 2 study in 38 pts with HER2-, HR+ MBC, with a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 of 45%.
Trial design
CONTESSA TRIO is a 2-cohort, multinational, multicenter, Phase 2 study. In Cohort 1, 90 pts (with potential expansion to up to 150 pts) with metastatic TNBC who have not received prior CT for advanced disease will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive T at 27 mg/m2 Q3W plus either: (1) nivolumab at 360 mg Q3W; (2) pembrolizumab at 200 mg Q3W; or (3) atezolizumab at 1,200 mg Q3W. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitors) and atezolizumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) are approved for the treatment of multiple types of cancer; atezolizumab, in combination with nab-paclitaxel, was recently approved in the U.S. for the treatment of metastatic TNBC. The dual primary endpoints for Cohort 1 are ORR and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include duration of response (DoR) and overall survival (OS). Efficacy results for each of the 3 PD-(L)1 inhibitor combinations will be assessed for correlation with the results of each of the 3 approved PD-L1 diagnostic assays. CONTESSA TRIO is the first randomized clinical study to compare 3 approved PD-(L)1 inhibitors. In Cohort 2, 40 elderly pts (with potential expansion to up to 60 pts) with HER2- MBC who have not received prior CT for advanced disease will receive T monotherapy at 27 mg/m2 Q3W. The primary endpoint for Cohort 2 is ORR. Secondary endpoints include PFS, DoR and OS. Pts with CNS metastases are eligible for both cohorts. The Study was initiated in March 2019.
