Abstract 646P
Background
Creatine Kinase B (CKB) was identified as a driver of RASm mCRC. CKB generates ATP from phosphocreatine (PCr), which is imported by SLC6A8. Ompenaclid depletes PCr and ATP resulting in tumor cell apoptosis. In a phase 1a study, ompenaclid monotherapy showed objective anti-tumor activity in RASm mCRC without dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs).
Methods
Objectives of this ongoing phase 1b/2 study are evaluation of safety, PK/PD and efficacy of ompenaclid + FOLFIRI/BEV in 2L mCRC. Eligible pts had disease progression after a 1L oxaliplatin-containing regimen.
Results
Enrollment as of 28Apr2023, 35 pts (22 KRASm, 3 NRASm, 10 RAS-wt) in the Dose Escalation/Expansion cohorts receiving 2400mg BID (n=14) or 3000mg BID (n=21); all pts received FOLFIRI/BEV. No DLTs were observed in Dose Escalation and a MTD was not reached. Across safety-evaluable pts (n=33), the most common treatment emergent AEs Gr≤2 were nausea (50%), diarrhea (44%); Gr≥3 were neutropenia (15%), abdominal pain (11%), diarrhea (11%), fatigue (11%). The AE profile is similar to FOLFIRI/BEV alone, demonstrating good combinability. At both ompenaclid doses, systemic exposure was comparable and resulted in up to a 48X increase in urine creatine, suggesting robust target inhibition. The ORR in 17 RASm and 10 RAS-wt evaluable pts was 41% (6 confirmed PRs, 1 unconfirmed PR) and 20% (2 unconfirmed PRs), respectively. Five RASm pts are pending 1st scan and not yet evaluable. PRs were observed in pts with diverse KRASm (G13D [2 pts], G12V [2 pts], G12D, G12S and pG10dup). For RASm pts, mPFS was 11.8M and mOS was 19.1M, and for RAS-wt pts, mPFS was 7.5M and mOS was 14.5M.
Conclusions
At the evaluated dose levels, ompenaclid + FOLFIRI/BEV was well tolerated and induced potent inhibition of the target SLC6A8. Encouraging efficacy was observed in pts with RASm mCRC, with a response rate exceeding that expected with SOC. This preferential RASm activity is consistent with preclinical and phase 1a data. There is a high unmet need for a safe and combinable oral pan-RASm therapy in mCRC. Recruitment of RASm pts continues and a randomized controlled trial in 2L RASm mCRC is planned.
