Abstract 631P
Background
G-quadruplex (G4) structures can enhance propensity for DNA damage and they induce chromosome breaks, which activate homologous recombination (HR) repair pathway. CX-5461, a small molecule G4 stabilizer, selectively attacks HR-deficient cancer cells. We report the preliminary results of an open-label, multi-center, phase Ib expansion assessing CX-5461 in patients (pts) with solid tumours and BRCA2 and/or PALB2 mutation (NCT04890613).
Methods
CX-5461 was administered at two dose levels on Days 1 and 8 of a 28-day cycle to pts with pancreatic, prostate, breast or ovarian cancer (OC). Study comprises two cohorts: main cohort, with arm A (250 mg/m2) and B (325 mg/m2) enrolling pts with BRCA2 / PALB2 mutations, and exploratory cohort incorporating arm C (250 mg/m2) and D (325 mg/m2) for OC pts with BRCA1/ HR mutations. Primary objective is to determine recommended phase II dose of CX-5461. Secondary objectives: assessment of safety, tolerability and its anti-tumor activity.
Results
Of 28 pts enrolled, 22 have completed at least one cycle and were evaluable for DLT. Arm A included 2 OC pts, 5 breast cancer and 2 pancreatic cancer and Arm C and D: 10 and 3 OC pts. Among 22 pts, 36% had BRCA1 somatic, 14% BRCA1 germline, 4.5% somatic/germline BRCA1, 32% BRCA2 germline, 9% PALB2 germline and 4.5% HR mutations. Pts were heavily pretreated with median number of 6 lines (2-10): 77% prior platinum, 41% bevacizumab and 86% PARPi. Pts received median number of 4 doses (2-36) of CX-5461. Overall grade 3/4 adverse events (AE) were reported in 50%. Eight (36%) pts had grade 3/4 AE related to CX-5461. Five (23%) had grade 3 AE of special interest: 2 palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, 2 photosensitivity, 1 ocular photosensitivity; no grade 4 AE. Of the fifteen pts evaluable for response, 40% achieved clinical benefit with stable disease (SD) as best response. Of OC pts with SD (n=5), 3 had BRCA1 somatic, 1 BRCA1 germline and 1 HR mutations. All had previously received platinum and PARPi and two had duration of response > 6 months.
Conclusions
This Phase 1b study shows acceptable clinical tolerability and early signals of activity for CX-5461, including post PARP inhibition. Photosensitivity was manageable by preventive measures. Genomic data on resistance mechanisms is being analyzed.
