Abstract 755P
Background
Retifanlimab (ZynyzTM) is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)–blocking antibody recently approved in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced Merkel cell carcinoma. POD1UM-101 (NCT03059823) is an ongoing first-in-human dose finding and cohort expansion study in patients with advanced solid tumours. We have previously reported significant clinical activity with safety for retifanlimab representative of the class in the MSI-H or dMMR endometrial cancer expansion cohort (Berton D, SITC 2021). We present final study results.
Methods
Eligible patients had histologically proven, unresectable recurrent/metastatic MSI-H or dMMR endometrial cancer, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) ≤1, disease progression during or following 1 to ≤5 prior systemic treatments, measurable disease (per RECIST v1.1), and were naïve to prior immune checkpoint inhibitors. MSI-H and dMMR status were centrally confirmed. Patients received retifanlimab 500 mg every 4 weeks for up to 2 years. The primary study endpoint was safety. Confirmed best overall response and duration of response were evaluated by independent central reviewer (ICR).
Results
A total of 76 patients with centrally confirmed MSI-H (65 [85.5%]) or dMMR (11 [14.5%]) disease were enrolled, with the last patient initiating treatment on 29 December 2020. Median age was 67 (range 49–88) years, 70 (92%) had endometrioid histology, 67 (88%) had metastatic disease, and 61 (80%) had visceral metastases. Most patients had received prior radiotherapy (54 [71%]) or surgery (68 [90%]). All patients except for one, had received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease with 33 (43.4%) patients receiving ≥2 prior systemic therapies. The overall response rate by ICR was 43% (95% CI: 32–55). Final results for this cohort including safety and secondary efficacy endpoints will be presented.
Conclusions
Retifanlimab has shown notable clinical activity in previously treated MSI-H or dMMR endometrial cancer, which is consistent with other checkpoint immunotherapies.
