Abstract
e22020 Background: The combination of nab-paclitaxel (NP) and bevacizumab (BEV) in patients with MM has shown promising clinical activity. AB160 is a 160 nm nano-immunoconjugate of NP nanoparticles non-covalently coated with BEV for targeted delivery into high VEGF expressing tissues. Preclinical data showed that AB160 improved tumor targeting/ tumor inhibition more than NP followed by BEV. Methods: A 3+3 phase I trial was conducted in patients (pts) with MM who had prior systemic treatment for metastatic disease to determine the maximum tolerated dose of AB160 administered intravenously on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Dose level 1 (DL1) was 125 mg/m2 NP /50 mg/m2 BEV. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) included grade (G) 4 neutropenia or anemia, PLT < 25,000, serum creatinine ≥ 2 times baseline, G2-4 neurologic toxicity or G3-4 non-hematologic toxicities. Tumor evaluations (RECIST) were conducted every 8 weeks. Treatment continued until progression or intolerability. Results: 21 pts (11 ♀) aged 36-78 years old were enrolled. One of the first 3 pts on DL1 developed a G2 colonic perforation; this was considered a DLT. One of the next 3 pts on DL1 had a DLT: G4 neutropenia. Of the 3 pts on DL-1 (100 mg/m2 NP/40 mg/m2 BEV), 2 had no DLTs and 1 died of sepsis after C1D1 dose. Enrollment was suspended until an amendment modifying the eligibility criteria was approved by the IRB. The trial reopened. One of the 4 pts on DL-1 and 1 of the 5 pts on DL1 had a DLT: G3 pain and G3 fatigue, respectively. Enrollment ended after 2 of the 3 pts on DL2 (150 mg/m2 NP/ 60 mg/m2 BEV) developed G4 neutropenia. Thus, MTD is DL1. A median of 3 cycles was administered. Treatment ended due to progression (9), intolerability (9), refusal (2) and death (1). There were no objective tumor responses. Common G3-4 toxicities were: neutropenia (33%) and thromboembolic events (19%). Conclusions: AB160 was found to have insufficient clinical benefit in patients with previously treated MM to justify further development. However, parallel phase I testing in gynecologic cancers suggests clinical benefit (abstract #300225). Clinical trial information: NCT02020707.
