Abstract 1076TiP
Background
Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are specialized T-cells that can inhibit antitumor immune responses, and high intratumoral Treg levels have been associated with negative outcomes in cancer. Chemokine receptor (CCR)8 is preferentially expressed on tumor-infiltrating Tregs, relative to peripheral blood Tregs and effector T cells. ABBV-514 is an afucosylated monoclonal antibody that binds CCR8 and is designed to enhance antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity to deplete tumor-infiltrating Tregs. This first-in-human trial evaluates safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-514 as monotherapy and in combination with budigalimab (BDG), a PD-1–blocking antibody.
Trial design
This is a multicenter phase 1 dose-escalation/expansion study (NCT05005403). Eligible patients (≥18 years) have evaluable or measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 and ECOG performance status ≤1. Primary objectives are to assess safety, tolerability, and PK and to determine the maximum tolerated/maximum administered dose of ABBV-514 as monotherapy and in combination with BDG. Secondary and exploratory objectives are to evaluate immunogenicity of ABBV-514 as mono- or combination therapy, to assess preliminary efficacy (objective response rate per RECIST v1.1 criteria, clinical benefit rate, duration of response, progression-free survival), and to evaluate pharmacodynamics and predictive biomarkers. Patients are treated until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Dose escalation will be guided by a Bayesian optimal interval design. Planned enrollment is 176 patients: up to 140 in dose escalation and 36 in dose expansion. In dose escalation, patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) solid tumors will be enrolled in ABBV-514 monotherapy (N≤55) or ABBV-514 + BDG (N≤55) cohorts; up to 30 additional patients will be included in paired biopsy cohorts. In dose expansion, patients with R/R non-small cell lung cancer will be enrolled in ABBV-514 monotherapy (N=12) and ABBV-514 + BDG (N=12) cohorts, and patients with R/R head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in an ABBV-514 + BDG (N=12) cohort. Enrollment initiated in November 2021, with 30 patients enrolled as of April 2023.
