Abstract 1526P
Background
The nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (AG) is the standard first-line chemotherapy of advanced pancreatic cancer with limited efficacy. Dual inhibition of PD-L1 and TGF-β is a promising therapeutic strategy, as the key pathways have independent and complementary immunosuppressive functions. SHR-1701 is a bi-functional agent which can simultaneously block both the PD-1/PD-L1 and TGF-β/TGF-βR signaling within the TME. Until now, it is obscure for the clinical value of SHR1701 in pancreatic cancer. This phase 1b/2 clinical trial was designed to evaluate the antitumor activity and safety of SHR-1701 combined with AG chemotherapy regimen in patients with previously untreated locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Methods
Patients received SHR-1701 (30 mg/kg) on day 1 plus gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) and nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m2) on day 1 and 8 of each 3-week cycle by intravenous infusion. The primary endpoint of phase 1b part was recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In the phase 2 part, the primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
Results
No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed among the first 6 patients; the RP2D of SHR-1701 was 30 mg/kg. As of Mar 31, 2023, 56 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up was 10.3 months (range, 0.2-24.7). ORR was 32.1% (95% CI, 20.3-46.0). Median progressive-free survival (PFS) was 5.6 months (95% CI, 4.3-6.6), and median overall survival (OS) was 10.3 months (95% CI, 8.8-12.3). Treatment-related adverse events of grade ≥3 were reported in 27 (48.2%) patients with the most common being decreased neutrophil count. Patients with PD-L1 TPS ≥1% showed a higher ORR (66.7% vs. 25.0%), as well as longer median PFS (6.3 vs. 5.3 months) and median OS (18.8 vs. 9.9 months). Fibrosis-associated signatures (such as ECM-myCAF and IL-iCAF) and pSMAD2/3 level were associated with anti-tumor activity.
Conclusions
SHR-1701 combined with AG showed positive antitumor activity and controllable safety in advanced pancreatic cancer.
