Abstract
2068 Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) gene is the most frequently altered oncogenic driver in glioblastoma (GBM). In-frame deletion alterations (e.g., EGFRvIII) and missense mutations co-occur in the setting of EGFR gene amplification and are characterized as a hallmark of disease pathogenesis in GBM. BDTX-1535 is an oral, highly potent, brain penetrant, selective, irreversible 4th generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets EGFR alterations in GBM and NSCLC. Preliminary results of the Phase 1 dose escalation study (NCT05256290) of patients with recurrent GBM (rGBM) are presented here. Methods: BDTX-1535-101 is a first-in-human study that enrolled patients with either rGBM harboring EGFR alterations following standard of care or patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR mutated NSCLC that progressed on prior EGFR TKIs. Using an adaptive Bayesian optimal interval design in the Phase 1 part, patients were enrolled at increasing dose cohorts and were treated daily for 21-day cycles until treatment discontinuation. The primary objective was to determine the BDTX-1535 recommended Phase 2 dose based on the overall safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity. Results: Twenty-seven patients with rGBM were enrolled in the Phase 1 cohort that consisted of 54 patients in total including 27 patients with NSCLC. Patients were treated across seven dose levels (15mg – 400mg QD). The mean age of patients with rGBM was 58.7 years (range 41-85) with 96% of patients with previous temozolomide (TMZ) treatment and a median of 2 lines of prior therapy (range 1-4). The most common all-grade treatment-related AEs across all cohorts were rash (78%), diarrhea (41%), fatigue (15%), stomatitis (11%), decreased appetite (11%), nausea (11%) and paronychia (11%). Gr 3 TRAEs ≥ 10% included rash (19%) reported at 300 or 400 mg QD doses. Plasma exposure of BDTX-1535 increased dose proportionally and had a half-life of ~15h, supporting once daily dosing. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is 300 mg QD. Among 19 evaluable patients for response based on RANO criteria, 1 confirmed partial response was observed and 8 patients achieved stable disease. Five patients remained on BDTX-1535 with stable disease for an extended period (>5 months) who previously performed poorly on TMZ with short treatment duration, and 1 patient continues on BDTX-1535 after 16 months of treatment. Conclusions: BDTX-1535 was well-tolerated up to 300mg daily, which is the MTD, and promising preliminary clinical activity was observed in patients with rGBM after relapse on standard of care treatment. Given the inability to reconfirm EGFR status at the time of treatment with BDTX-1535 in this Phase 1 trial, further exploration of BDTX-1535 in a “window of opportunity” study is ongoing (NCT06072586).
