Abstract

21 Background: Objectives: (1) To investigate the MTD of ABI-009 when given with nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in previously treated advanced undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, liposarcoma, chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma; (2) To investigate the disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of this combination therapy in the above mentioned patient group, and (3) To correlate PFS with PD-L1 and other biomarker expression in patients’ tumors. Methods: This is an IRB approved protocol with 2 parts. The Phase 1 part is a dose-finding study using the “cohort of three design”, wherein standard doses of nivolumab 240 mg is given iv every 3 weeks (Day 1 of every 21-day Cycle). ABI-009 will be given IV on Days 8 and 15 of each cycle starting on Cycle 2 following the 2nd nivolumab dose. The starting dose of ABI-009 is 56 mg/m2, and sequentially escalating doses are 75, and 100 mg/m2. The Phase 2 part of study will enroll 31 additional patients to further assess efficacy and safety at the MTD. Results: The Phase 1 part of study is closed, after 9 patients were treated successfully at 3 dose levels. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed, the MTD was not reached, and 100 mg/m2 ABI-009 was designated as the recommended phase 2 dose. Safety analysis: At Dose 1 (n=3): Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) included hyperdyslipidemia (n=1), and hyperglycemia (n=1). At Dose 2 (n=3): Grade 3 TRAEs included increased ALT (n=1). At Dose 3 (n=3): Grade 3 TRAEs included hypophosphatemia (n=1). Seven of 9 patients have discontinued treatment: 5 patients due to PD, 2 with SD opted to stop treatment due to drug-related Grade 2 AEs (pruritus, acneiform rash, and 2 with SD are still on therapy at Dose 3. Conclusions: The primary objective has been met with no DLTs, the MTD was not reached and Dose 3 has been designated as the phase 2 dose of ABI-009 which is on-going. Clinical trial information: NCT03190174.
