Abstract

Abstract Background: ER+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients will receive sequential, endocrine based therapy, either as monotherapy or in combination with a targeted agent until endocrine resistance develops. OP-1250 is a small molecule Complete Estrogen Receptor Antagonist (CERAN) that completely inactivates ER by blocking the 2 activation functions of ER transcription (AF-1 & AF-2). While complete antagonism is believed to be the most critical mechanism of action, OP-1250 is also a strong degrader of the ER. OP-1250 demonstrates anti-cancer activity in preclinical models, including activity against brain metastases and in tumors with activating mutations in ESR1. OP-1250 is orally bioavailable with favorable pharmacokinetics (PK) yielding high and steady drug levels in multiple species. The characteristics of OP-1250 including PK, ability to cross the blood brain barrier, and complete antagonism of the ER suggest that OP-1250 may have superior efficacy over standard of care and experimental agents, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted therapies. Methods: OP-1250-001 is a phase I/II first-in-human study to determine the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT), Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) and to characterize the safety, PK profile and preliminary efficacy in subjects with ER+, HER2- MBC. Eligible patients received prior endocrine therapy. OP-1250 was given orally, once a day continuously in 28-day cycles. Using a rolling 6 design, cohorts of 3 - 6 subjects were sequentially enrolled and monitored for DLTs. The study allows for expansion of 1 or 2 doses for further evaluation of safety and PK to best inform selection of the RP2D. The phase II portion will evaluate the preliminary activity of OP-1250 in 3 cohorts: 1) measurable disease; and 2 exploratory cohorts: 2) evaluable & non-measurable; and 3) central nervous system metastasis. Plasma is being collected for ctDNA sequencing to evaluate ESR1 and other relevant mutations. Results: Between August 5, 2020 and June 4, 2021, 28 subjects with a median age of 63 (range 37-82) have been enrolled. Of the 27 subjects for whom detailed data on prior therapy was reported, all subjects received > 1 prior endocrine therapy for MBC (74% received > 2 and 37% received > 3; range 1-6). All of the 27 subjects received a CDK4/6 inhibitor and 23 of 27 (85%) had received fulvestrant. 20 subjects of 28 (71%) subjects had visceral disease affecting the liver, lung, peritoneum, and/or pleura. OP-1250 was escalated through 5 dose cohorts (range 30 - 300 mg qd). 26 patients were evaluable for a DLT. As of the data cut-off date, no DLTs occurred. Most of the TEAE were grade 1 or 2. OP-1250 is orally bioavailable and extensively distributed with an effective half-life of approximately 2-3 days. Cmax and AUC show dose proportional increase. By cycle 2, exposure levels are at steady state with limited fluctuations and at all doses significantly higher than those seen with fulvestrant. Importantly, OP-1250 has now demonstrated clinical activity at doses that were well tolerated and within the predicted exposure windows where maximum efficacy was observed in preclinical models. Detailed response and safety data will be presented. Conclusion: OP-1250 is continuing evaluation in a phase I/II study. The population enrolled reflects the evolving standard of care in that all pts received prior CDK4/6 inhibitors and the majority also received fulvestrant. OP-1250 is well tolerated with a favorable PK across dose levels ensuring target coverage throughout the dosing interval. No MTD has been identified and selection of the RP2D will be based on consideration of long-term tolerability, efficacy, and the ability to combine with targeted agents.
