Abstract 4749
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 =Grade 2, the most common of which were skin (38%), diarrhea/colitis (29%), and hypothyroidism (18%). Cmax and Ctrough 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:
474P
Dose Level | Durvalumab Q3W | Tremelimumab (with chemotherapy) | Tremelimumab (after chemotherapy) |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 15mg/kg | - | - |
1 | 15mg/kg | 1 mg/kg X 1 | 1-2 doses |
2a | 15mg/kg | 1 mg/kg X 3 Q6w | 1-2 doses |
2b | 15mg/kg | 3 mg/kg X 1 | 1-2 doses Q6w |
3 | 1125mg | 56 mg X 4 Q3w | 56 mg X 2 Q3w |
4 | 1500mg | 75 mg X 4 Q3w | 75 mg X 1 |
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.
