Abstract 798
Background
TGCT is a rare, locally aggressive neoplasm of the joint/tendon sheath associated with colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) overexpression. No systemic therapy is approved. Pex, a selective inhibitor of CSF1 receptor, KIT, and FLT3-ITD, showed tumor responses in TGCT in 3 phase I studies, and significant response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (39% vs 0%; P < 0.0001) and improved functional outcomes vs placebo in a phase III study (ENLIVEN, NCT02371369). Here we report treatment-emergent hepatic ARs across TGCT studies.
Methods
Patients (pts) ≥18 y had symptomatic, unresectable TGCT; surgery was not recommended and/or was associated with potentially worse function or severe morbidity. Hepatic ARs were assessed by type and magnitude of liver test abnormalities.
Results
In 130 pts assessed for hepatic ARs from the ENLIVEN and phase I extension (PLX108-01, NCT01004861) studies, mean Pex duration was 75 wk (range, 2.14-259.14); 10 additional Pex-treated pts from 2 other phase I studies are included in the table (N = 140). Hepatic ARs were of 2 types: (1) aminotransferase elevations, which were frequent, dose-dependent, and related to CSF1 receptor inhibition, and (2) mixed or cholestatic hepatotoxicity, which was uncommon, idiosyncratic, and rarely serious (Table). All serious hepatic ARs developed in the first 8 wk of treatment. Four serious but nonfatal mixed and cholestatic cases with increased bilirubin (1 ductopenia) resolved after 1-7 mo. In non-TGCT pts (N = 658), 2 severe cases of liver toxicity (1 leading to liver transplant, 1 death with ongoing cholestasis and tumor progression) were observed with Pex.Table:

Pex starting dose.
†Includes 1 TGCT pt receiving 600 mg/d in NCT02734433 and 9 TGCT pts receiving 800 mg/d in NCT03291288. ‡Mean Pex duration of all studies was 71 wk (range, 2.14-259.14).
§Includes 1 TGCT pt with a single time-point elevation of TBIL considered unrelated to treatment. ALP = alkaline phosphatase; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; TBIL = total bilirubin; ULN = upper limit of normal.
Conclusions
Pex is the first systemic therapy assessed in a randomized placebo-controlled study showing significantly improved tumor response and clinical benefit in locally advanced TGCT. With liver test monitoring, Pex may offer a relevant treatment option for select pts with symptomatic TGCT.
