Abstract 637P
Background
Endocrine therapy is a critical component of treatment for patients with estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer. Selective ER degraders (SERD) such as elacestrant and fulvestrant result in objective response rates (ORR) of approximately 7% and 2% in the EMERALD trial. This improves to 11% and 3% in a subset of patients who have a mutation in the ESR1 gene. AC699 is a novel chimeric degrader that binds, ubiquitinates and degrades ERα by bringing it into proximity with an E3 ligase. Here, we present updated efficacy findings from an ongoing phase 1 study (NCT05654532) and disclose pharmacokinetic (PK) results.
Methods
The study employed a 3+3 design, with the option of enrolling additional patients into each cleared cohort. Patients must have had locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer and received at least two prior lines of endocrine treatment or one prior line if combined with a CDK inhibitor. AC699 was administered orally once daily in 28-day cycles. Extensive PK was collected on days 1 and 15 of cycle 1 and tumor responses were assessed every two cycles.
Results
A total of 29 patients had received AC699 at four dose levels (100, 200, 300, 400 mg) at the time of the data cutoff. The median lines of prior therapy were 5 (range 2-10) including 3 (1-8) in the metastatic setting. Prior treatments included a CDK4/6 inhibitor (100%), fulvestrant (82%), novel SERDs (23%), and an ER chimeric degrader (14%). There were no dose-limiting toxicities, dose reductions or discontinuations for treatment-related adverse events (AE). The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The most common AEs were nausea (21%), dehydration (17%) and fatigue (17%). There were no >Grade 3 treatment-related AEs. The PK profile showed linear, dose-dependent proportionality from 100 to 400 mgs. Among 19 evaluable patients, the ORR was 21% (4/19). In a subgroup of patients harboring a confirmed ESR1 mutation with a variant allele frequency >1%, the ORR was 50% (4/8).
Conclusions
Preliminary data from this ongoing phase 1 trial evaluating AC699 indicate promising safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity, with linear PK up to 400 mg orally once daily. Phase 1b and phase 2 studies are planned.
