4749 - Pharmacokinetic (PK) and updated survival data from the Canadian Cancer Trials Group IND.226 study of durvalumab ± tremelimumab in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy

Background

In this phase Ib multicenter study, we sought to characterize the PK, safety and tolerability of durvalumab (D), an anti-PD-L1 antibody, ± tremelimumab (T), an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, in combination with one of four standard platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimens. We will present the PK, and update overall survival data.

Methods

Regardless of tumour PD-L1 status, patients were enrolled into one of four cohorts: pemetrexed, gemcitabine, etoposide (each with cisplatin or carboplatin) or nab-paclitaxel (with carboplatin), each of which were evaluated in one of six dose levels [Table]. Dose escalation followed a Rolling Six type design. Concurrent enrollment of cohorts was allowed. Limited PK was collected ≤1 hour pre-dose and ≤10 minutes post-dose on day 1 of cycles 1-3 as well as week 6 or 8 post chemotherapy.

Results

One hundred and thirty-six patients (median age=62 (range 30-83); males:females=67:69; ECOG PS 0/1=32%/68%). The majority of patients had non-small cell (53.7%) or small cell (13.2%) lung cancer. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that were considered related to D or T were mainly max and C_trough increased in a dose-proportional manner over the dose range of 1 to 3 mg/kg for tremelimumab Q3W. PK exposures for both durvalumab at 15 mg/kg, 1125mg, or 1500mg Q3W and tremelimumab at 1, 3 mg/kg, 56, and 75mg demonstrated accumulation after the administration of multiple doses. PK parameters did not appear to differ across platinum-doublets. After a median follow-up of 19.6 months, 19 patients continued on protocol therapy. Survival data will be updated prior to the meeting. TableTable:

Conclusions

Standard platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimens did not alter the PK of D+T or D compared with historical monotherapy therapy data. Toxicities were manageable and were not associated with PK.
