Abstract CT007: PETRA: First in class, first in human trial of the next generation PARP1-selective inhibitor AZD5305 in patients (pts) with BRCA1/2, PALB2 or RAD51C/D mutations

Abstract

Abstract Background: AZD5305 is a potent, highly selective PARP1 inhibitor and trapper with superior preclinical tolerability, target engagement and efficacy vs 1st generation dual PARP1/2 inhibitors (PARPi). This is the first report of the ongoing Phase 1/2a PETRA (NCT04644068) trial. Methods: Pts with advanced breast, ovarian, prostate or pancreatic cancer bearing germline or somatic BRCA1/2, PALB2 or RAD51C/D mutations received AZD5305 QD PO until disease progression. ECOG PS 0-2 and Hb ≥9.0 g/dL were required. Prior PARPi and platinum therapy were permitted. The primary objective was safety; secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics in tumor and/or blood samples and response by RECIST v1.1, CA125 or PSA. Exploratory genomic analyses included zygosity evaluation and ctDNA response monitoring. Results: At data cutoff (Nov 17, 2021), 46 pts received AZD5305 10-90 mg QD (43.5% had prior PARPi; median 3.5 prior lines of therapy). AZD5305 was well tolerated across all doses without DLTs (Table). PK exposures were dose-proportional. Steady-state Ctrough was higher than 1st generation PARPi: specifically 6.3 and 31.9 fold above target effective concentration at 10 and 90 mg, respectively. PARylation inhibition was ≥90% at 10-40 mg QD (PBMCs) confirming target engagement. 7/25 (28%) pts had objective responses: 5 RECIST PRs (3 confirmed) and 2 additional pts with PSA50 responses (1 confirmed), including platinum- and PARPi-resistant pts. 13/22 (59%) RECIST-measurable pts had SD or PR up to 51+ weeks. ctDNA declined on treatment in 7/13 (54%) evaluable pts (3 complete, 4 >50% reductions) across doses. Conclusions: AZD5305 is a highly selective PARP1 inhibitor and trapper with excellent physiochemical properties and a wide therapeutic index. It led to maximal target engagement and showed promising clinical activity with favorable tolerability at exposures surpassing those of 1st generation PARPi.
