Abstract 2191
Background
Surufatinib, also called sulfatinib, is a targeted inhibitor of the tyrosine kinases VEGFR1, 2, and 3, FGFR1, and CSF1R. The safety profile of surufatinib was favorable in 2 completed studies (NCT 02133157 and 02267967) conducted in Chinese cancer patients (pts). Surufatinib has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in pts with advanced, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) (response rate 17%) and is being evaluated in phase III trials.
Methods
This is an ongoing dose escalation (ESC)/dose expansion (EXP) study being conducted in the United States to establish safety in Western pts. The ESC phase enrolled pts with any solid tumor. The EXP phase is enrolling pts with biliary tract cancers, pancreatic NETs, or extrapancreatic NETs. The primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase II dose (RP2D).
Results
As of the data cut-off date of 11 Feb 2019, 57 pts who enrolled and received ≥ 1 dose of surufatinib (35 in ESC, 22 in EXP), 23 were male, and median age was 62 years. The most common primary malignancies were bile duct (n = 17), pancreatic NET (n = 16), endometrial (n = 3), and ovary (n = 3). There were 6 pts in ESC with a DLT; 1/6 in the 100 mg QD (fatigue), 1/11 in the 300 mg QD (hypertension), and 4/13 in the 400 mg QD (2 proteinuria, 1 thrombocytopenia, and 1 ALT elevation) cohorts. The MTD/RP2D was 300 mg QD. The most frequent (≥20% incidence) treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (35%), nausea (33%), fatigue (26%), hypertension (26%), and vomiting (21%). Grade ≥ 3 AEs were reported in 56% of pts; the most frequent (≥ 5% incidence) were hypertension (12%), diarrhea (5%), fatigue (5%), and proteinuria (5%). Fifteen pts had serious adverse events. Preliminary pharmacokinetic data (n = 9) showed dose proportional increase in exposure and slightly higher (30%) exposure (AUC) compared to the Chinese pt population. Partial response was seen in 4 pts, with (by primary site, dose)1 endometrial, 100 mg QD; 1 bile duct, 300 mg QD; and 2 pancreatic NET, 300 mg QD.
Conclusions
The safety profile of surufatinib at the RP2D in these Western cancer pts is consistent with those from completed studies performed in Chinese pts and consistent with VEGF targeted therapy. Preliminary data show promising efficacy.
