Clinical and translational results from REVOLUTION cohorts A (nivolumab + ipilimumab + chemotherapy) and B (hydroxychloroquine + ipilimumab + chemotherapy) in patients with previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Abstract

4137 Background: Metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) is largely refractory to treatment, including immunotherapy. However, recent developments in chemoimmunotherapy combinations show promise. Herein, we report results from the first 2 cohorts of REVOLUTION, an ongoing, adaptive platform study designed to assess the safety and antitumor activity of novel chemoimmunotherapy combinations in patients (pts) with untreated mPDAC. Methods: REVOLUTION (NCT04787991) is an open-label, non-randomized, exploratory platform trial. Pts were assigned by investigator choice to one of the enrolling cohorts. All pts in Cohorts A and B received 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine, 125 mg/m2 nab-paclitaxel, and 2 doses of 1 mg/kg ipilimumab. In addition, pts received 360 mg nivolumab Q3W in Cohort A or 600 mg hydroxychloroquine BID in Cohort B. Primary endpoint: safety. Secondary endpoints: ORR, DCR, DOR, PFS, and OS. Exploratory endpoints: pharmacodynamics and association of tumor and blood biomarkers with clinical activity. Each cohort utilized a Simon two-stage design: n=15 in Stage 1 with expansion to Stage 2 (an additional n=15) based on the totality of safety, efficacy and biomarker analyses. Results: Both cohorts enrolled 15 pts each. Median treatment duration was 6.5 and 5.6 months (mo), and median study duration was 19.1 and 12.7 mo for A and B, respectively. All pts experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE). Grade 3-4 TRAEs occurred in 60% of A (most common: decreased neutrophil count [n=4]) and 53% of B (most common: anemia [n=5], decreased neutrophil count [n=4]). In B, 2 pts discontinued due to AEs, with none occurring in A. One grade 5 TRAE (multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, deemed related to chemotherapy) occurred in B; none in A. Table shows efficacy results. Cohort A revealed increased activated/proliferating CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, Tregs, and soluble PD-1 in circulation. Cohort B showed increases in activated/proliferating CD4 T cells and signs of autophagy inhibition. Preliminary multi-omic analyses that aim to associate biomarkers with clinical response will be presented. Conclusions: REVOLUTION cohorts A and B demonstrated antitumor activity in pts with mPDAC. Cohort B treatment, which included hydroxychloroquine, incurred more early discontinuations. As designed, neither cohort will advance to Stage 2, highlighting the need for further tailored therapeutic approaches in mPDAC. Clinical trial information: NCT04787991 . [Table: see text]
