Abstract OT3-22-01: First-in-human global multi-center study of RLY-2608, a pan mutant and isoform selective PI3Kα inhibitor, as a single agent in advanced solid tumor patients and in combination with fulvestrant in patients with advanced breast cancer

Abstract

Abstract Background: Targeting constitutively active mutant kinases with selective small molecule inhibitors is a key therapeutic pillar of precision oncology. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5bisphosphate-3 kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations leading to oncogenic activation of PI3Kα represent the largest opportunity for this approach in solid tumors. However, there is no selective inhibitor that targets mutant PI3Kα in the clinic. Toxicity related to non-selective inhibition of WT PI3Kα (hyperglycemia) and other PI3K isoforms limits the tolerability, dosing and efficacy of the orthosteric inhibitor, alpelisib, the only approved solid tumor PI3K inhibitor. RLY-2608, a novel oral allosteric PI3Kα inhibitor, is uniquely designed to overcome these limitations via mutant- and isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibition for greater target coverage, improved tolerability and antitumor activity. We initiated a first-in-human (FIH), study to evaluate the clinical activity of RLY-2608 as a single agent in advanced solid tumor patients (pts) with PI3KCA mutations and in combination with fulvestrant in pts with PIK3CA mutant, HR+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Methods: This is a global, multi-center, dose escalation/expansion study (NCT05216432) of RLY2608 as a single agent in adults who have advanced solid tumors and are refractory, intolerant, or declined standard therapy and RLY-2608 in combination with fulvestrant in previously treated pts with HR+/HER2- MBC. Eligibility criteria include presence of PI3KCA mutation (blood or tumor) per local assessment, ECOG performance status 0-1, measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST 1.1 and no prior PI3K inhibitor (except combination group 2). RLY-2608 is administered on a continuous schedule with 4-week cycles. Adverse events (AEs) per CTCAE v5, PK, biomarkers (mutant ctDNAs and insulin pathway markers) and anti-tumor activity are assessed serially. Dose escalation employs a Bayesian Optimal Interval design to identify MTD and RP2D. Following dose escalation, pts will be treated with RLY-2608 at the MTD/RP2D in a monotherapy dose expansion with 5 groups (N=75, 15 each): 1. Clear cell ovarian carcinoma 2. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma 3. Cervical cancer 4. Other solid tumors 5. PI3KCA double mutations. In addition, two expansion cohorts will enroll patients with HR+/HER2- MBC treated with RLY-2608 and fulvestrant combination (N = 30, 15 each): 1. No prior PI3K therapy 2. Intolerant to PI3K inhibitors. The primary endpoints are MTD/RP2D and AE profile for single agent and combination; key secondary endpoints are PI3KCA genotype in blood and tumor, PK, biomarkers, and overall response rate. US enrollment began December 2021 and ex-USA startup is under way. Citation Format: Andreas Varkaris, Erika Hamilton, Jason Henry, Alexander I. Spira, Alison M. Schram, Julia E.
