Abstract OT3-24-01: ReFocus: A Phase 1/2 Study of the Highly Selective FGFR2 Inhibitor, RLY-4008, in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors Including Breast Cancer

Abstract

Abstract Background: Oncogenic alterations (gene amplification, mutation, and fusion/rearrangements) of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) are rare and occur at varying frequencies across solid tumor types and have become critical therapeutic targets in drug development. First generation FGFR pan-kinase inhibitors non-selectively inhibit FGFR1-4 and are associated with dose limiting toxicities and narrow therapeutic windows. Off-isoform toxicity (FGFR1-hyperphosphatemia; FGFR4-diarrhea) and on-target acquired resistance have led to limited efficacy, which is primarily seen in FGFR2-fusion+ intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Therapies that selectively target FGFR2 remain an unmet need in advanced breast cancer as well as other solid tumor types. RLY-4008 is a novel, oral FGFR2 inhibitor designed to overcome the limitations of pan-FGFR inhibitors (FGFRi) by potently and selectively targeting primary oncogenic FGFR2 alterations and acquired resistance mutations. RLY-4008 is > 200-fold selective over FGFR1, > 80- and > 5000-fold selective over FGFR3 and FGFR4 respectively. Here we describe a phase 1/2 study to investigate the safety and antitumor activity in advanced FGFR2 altered cancers, including breast cancer. Methods: ReFocus is a phase 1/2 open label global study evaluating the safety and efficacy of RLY-4008 (NCT04526106) in adult patients with advanced unresectable and/or metastatic cancers harboring an FGFR2 alteration. Key eligibility criteria include: documented FGFR2 alteration in blood or tissue per local assessment, ECOG performance status of 0-1, disease that is refractory or not adequately responding to standard therapy, has no available standard therapy, or patient is intolerant of, or declined standard therapy (including pan-FGFRi), and measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST 1.1. FGFR2 alteration will be confirmed retrospectively by central laboratory assessment. Part 1 dose escalation employed the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design to determine the MTD/RP2D of RLY-4008. Part 2 dose expansion is presently enrolling patients at the RP2D of RLY-4008 and includes 5 cohorts comprised of patients with: 1. FGFR2 fusion+ cholangiocarcinoma previously treated with an FGFRi; 2. FGFR2 fusion+ cholangiocarcinoma not previously treated with an FGFRi; 3. FGFR2 fusion+ solid tumors; 4. FGFR2 mutation+ solid tumors and 5. FGFR2 amplified solid tumors. Solid tumors in cohorts 3, 4 and 5 will have a focus in breast cancer. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR); key secondary endpoints include: duration of response, safety and tolerability, correlation of FGFR2 genotype by central tissue assessment with antitumor response, characterization of PK profile, and quality of life. US enrollment began September 2020 and has expanded into Europe and Asia. Clinical trial information: NCT04526106.
