Abstract 4344

Background

CV301 is an MVA-based vaccine encoding human transgenes MUC1, CEA and TRICOM. A phase I dose-escalation trial (Gatti-Mays E, et al. CCR 2019) concluded that CV301 is safe in advanced cancer patients and generated specific T cell responses against the encoded antigens. Preclinical data supports the rational for combining CV301 with PD-1 inhibitors. The primary objective of this trial was to evaluate safety and tolerability of this combination.

Methods

Patients with advanced non-squamous-NSCLC without actionable alterations in EGFR, ALK and ROS1 were eligible. Two priming doses of MVA-BN-CV301 (MVA) were administered in 4 separate subcutaneous (SC) injections of 4x10^8 IU, 4 weeks apart, followed by boosting doses of Fowlpox-CV301 (FPV) given as a single injection of 1x10^9 IU SC q2w for weeks 9-15, q4w for weeks 19-51 and q13w up to 17 doses for Cohort 1 (C1), q3w for weeks 7-22, q6w for weeks 28-52 and q12w up to 15 doses for Cohort 2 (C2). C1 included patients pre-treated with platinum-containing chemotherapy, who were considered eligible for nivolumab (N; 240 mg IV q2w). C2 included patients receiving frontline treatment with pembrolizumab (P; 200 mg IV q3w) after a minimum of 11 weeks of SD per RECIST.

Results

Between Oct-2017 and Sep-2018, 12 pts were recruited, 4 in C1 and 8 in C2. Median age was 64, and 9 pts were F. Majority of patients were former-smokers (9, 1 current, 2 never). As of Mar-2019 data cut-off, mean treatment duration was 272 days in C1 and 193 days in C2, with 7 pts continuing and 5 discontinuing treatment. Both doses of MVA were administered to 3/4 pts in C1 and 7/8 pts in C2. Median FPV doses/pt: C1=12 and C2=6. CV301 injection-site reactions and flu-like symptoms were observed in all C1 and 7/8 C2 pts. CTCAE ≥ grade 3 AEs were observed in 3/4 C1 and 3/8 C2 pts with 1 fatal TEAE. IRAEs included 1 autoimmune hepatitis, and 1 pneumonitis fulfilling criteria of DLT. As of data-cut, we observed 1 CR (C1), 10 SD, and 1 discontinuation prior to first scheduled RECIST assessment.

Conclusions

The treatment of NSCLC with CV301 + N or P is feasible and tolerated, with no observed increase in the frequency or severity of expected AEs or IRAEs for each component of the combination.
