Abstract 3199

Background

Sunitinib (SUN) is approved for the treatment of advanced progressive pNETs. Hypoxia induced by SUN could foster the activation of the prodrug evofosfamide (EVO), designed to release the DNA alkylator bromo-isophosphoramide mustard under hypoxic conditions. The SUNEVO trial seeks to exploit the potential synergy of SUN + EVO in advanced pNETs.

Methods

Phase-II, single-arm, multicenter trial that included 17 patients (pts) with metastatic G1/G2 pNETS naive for systemic treatment (tx) other than somatostatin analogues (SSA). Tx consisted on EVO 340 mg/m2 on days 8, 15 and 22 every 4 weeks (q4w), and sunitinib 37.5 mg/day continuously. Objective response rate (ORR) was selected as the primary endpoint and evaluated q8w by RECIST 1.1.

Results

Median age was 62.4 years, 41.2% had prior SSA, 47% had a Ki-67 >10%, 70.6% had liver involvement. Patients received a median of 5 (1-21) and 4 (0-21) cycles of SUN and EVO, respectively. After a median follow-up time of 15.7 months (m), 23.5% achieved a partial (N = 3) or complete response (N = 1), 11 pts had stable disease (64.7%) and 1 pt (5.3%) had progressive disease as best response. Median time to response was 1.9m (1.4-8.8) and duration of response was 18.5 m (4.2-38.3). Median PFS was 10.3 m (2.6-18.0). Treatment-related adverse events of >G3 or were observed in 52.9% pts, being the most frequent being neutropenia (18.8%), hypertension (12.5%), ALT increase (12.5%), thrombopenia (6.3%), and fatigue (6.3%). 4 pts (26.7%) discontinued at least one drug due toxicity.

Conclusions

SUN + EVO is active in pts with advanced pNETs, but the toxicity profile of the combination negatively affects tolerability. Biomarker analyses to select patients most likely to benefit from this therapy are ongoing.
