Abstract 540P
Background
The ongoing phase 1 SURPASS trial (NCT04044859) evaluates safety and efficacy of next-generation ADP-A2M4CD8 SPEAR T-cells co-expressing the CD8α co-receptor with the engineered T-cell receptor (TCR) targeting MAGE-A4.
Methods
First-in-human trial in HLA-A*02 positive patients (pts) with advanced cancers expressing MAGE-A4 antigen. T-cells are obtained by apheresis, transduced with a lentiviral vector containing the engineered TCR and CD8α co-receptor, and expanded in vitro. Prior to infusion, pts receive lymphodepletion with fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day for 4 days and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2/day for 3 days. The study consists of a modified 3 + 3 dose escalation design with an expansion cohort. Clinical outcomes (safety and efficacy), product attributes (dose, cell phenotype), and biomarkers (tumor antigen expression, T-cell persistence after transfer, serum cytokines) are evaluated.
Results
As of 05 Apr 2021, 18 pts (10 male, 8 female) were treated with ADP-A2M4CD8 (range 1.0 to 6 billion transduced cells). Median age was 63.5 yrs, median H-score was 255 (range 130 to 300), and primary tumor types included ovarian (n=5), esophagogastric junction (n=4), esophageal (n=2), head and neck (n=2), and 1 pt each with myxoid/round cell liposarcoma, melanoma, non small cell lung cancer, synovial sarcoma, and urothelial cancers. Overall, patients tolerated treatment. Most adverse events were consistent with those experienced by cancer patients undergoing lymphodepletion chemotherapy and cellular therapy. Of the 18 pts treated as of the data cut-off, 2 pts were awaiting first scans and one patient had expired. Of the 15 evaluable pts, 13 had evidence of disease control and there were RECIST responses in several solid tumor types. This trial is ongoing with additional pts awaiting treatment and further tumor assessments.
Conclusions
ADP-A2M4CD8 SPEAR T-cells have shown an acceptable safety profile. Emerging efficacy data remain encouraging with the majority of pts experiencing disease control and RECIST responses in several solid tumor types. A full update will be presented at the conference.
