Abstract 750P
Background
Brenetafusp (brene), an ImmTAC bispecific T cell engager (PRAME × CD3), showed robust disease control and tumor reduction in Ph1 (NCT04262466; Hamid 2022, Hamid 2024) in HLA-A*02:01+ patients (pts). We present monotherapy (mono) and chemotherapy combination (CC) data in PROC, and association with a baseline blood T cell fitness (TCF) signature that was also linked with tebentafusp benefit in uveal melanoma (ESMO 2024). Preclinically, chemo increased antigen presentation and ImmTAC activity (ESMO 2024).
Methods
Brene was dosed IV weekly with step-up to target dose of 40-320 mcg in mono escalation or 160 mcg in expansion & in CC. Chemo options were gemcitabine (Gem), nab-paclitaxel (NP), and PLD. Primary objectives: Safety, dose selection, and efficacy (RECIST v1.1). Exploratory endpoints included molecular response (≥ 0.5 log ctDNA reduction by week 9) and TCF (mean RNAseq expression of TESPA1, CD28 and GRP183 in blood at baseline). Data cutoff: Mar 2024.
Results
47 pts with high-grade serous PROC received brene (mono 32, CC 15) at active doses in escalation and expansion. Pts had a median 4 prior regimens. Most common adverse event (AE) was Grade 1/2 cytokine release syndrome (mono 53%, CC 80%). No drug-related AE led to treatment discontinuation or death. CC safety was consistent with individual agents. 40 pts were efficacy evaluable (mono 28, CC 12). Mono disease control rate (DCR; PR+SD) was 61% (17/28) with 2 PR (ORR 7%); mPFS was 3.3 mo and 6-mo OS rate was 73%. In CC, DCR was 67% (8/12) with 3 PR (Gem 1/9; NP 1/2; PLD 1/1). Molecular response (mono 6/25 [24%]; CC 9/10 [90%]) trended with longer PFS and OS. 28 mono pts were TCF-evaluable. Pts with ≥ median TCF had higher DCR (80%) than pts with < median TCF (38%) and longer mPFS (3.7 vs. 2.2 mo, respectively; HR 0.39 [95% CI 0.15-0.97]).
Conclusions
Brenetafusp was well tolerated, alone and with chemotherapy. Monotherapy was active in PROC, demonstrated by DCR and molecular response, which are surrogates of benefit for the ImmTAC platform. Clinical activity associated with blood TCF signature, which is another ImmTAC hallmark. Enhanced activity with chemo and potential for greater TCF in earlier lines support assessing additional combinations in PROC and platinum sensitive disease.
