Phase Ib study of AMG 386 combined with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) or topotecan (T) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract

5049 Background: AMG 386 is an investigational peptide-Fc fusion protein that inhibits angiogenesis by preventing angiopoietin 1/2 interaction with the Tie2 receptor. We report on an ongoing, open-label study of AMG 386 combined with PLD or T in advanced ovarian cancer. Methods: In part 1 of this 2-part dose de-escalation study, adult patients (pts) with recurrent, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer and GOG performance 0 or 1, and ≤ 3 prior chemotherapy regimens received, IV, AMG 386 at 10 mg/kg QW plus PLD at 50 mg/m2 Q4W (Arm A, n = 6 planned) or T at 4 mg/m2 QW (3 on/1 off; Arm B, n = 6 planned) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in ≥ 3 pts in either arm triggers dose de-escalation of AMG 386 to 3 mg/kg; 6 pts to be enrolled at lower dose. Cohort expansion with 19 pts is planned for part 2 of the study if ≤ 1 pt in either arm has a DLT at either AMG 386 dose. The primary endpoint is DLT incidence; secondary endpoints are safety, PK and response per RECIST (ORR) or CA-125 (GCIG criteria). Results: 12 pts have been enrolled and received ≥ 1 dose of AMG 386 (Arm A/B, n = 6/6). With ≥ 4 weeks follow-up for each pt, there have been no DLTs and no AMG 386 dose de-escalations. 11 pts (Arm A/B, n = 6/5) had AMG 386-related adverse events (AEs): 5 had grade 3 AEs (n = 4/1). There were no grade 4 or 5 AEs. The most common AMG 386-related AEs were nausea (Arm A/B, n = 3/2; no grade 3), fatigue (n = 3/2; grade 3, n = 2/0), rash (n = 3/0; grade 3, n = 2/0), and anemia (n = 0/2; no grade 3). Other key AMG 386-related AEs included hypertension (n = 5/4, no grade 3) and peripheral edema (n = 0/1, grade 3). With median follow-up of 13/21 weeks (Arm A/B), 8 pts were progression-free (n = 5/3); 3 pts had progressed (n = 1/2) and 1 pt (Arm B) died from disease progression. ORR data are not mature. 6 pts had CA-125 responses (Arm A/B, n = 3/3); 1 pt in Arm A had CA-125 progression. Combining AMG 386 with PLD or T did not appear to affect the PK parameters of either agent. Planned cohort expansion to part 2 is underway. Conclusions: Based on these interim results with short follow-up, AMG 386 combined with PLD or T appears tolerable in pts with advanced ovarian cancer. Updated safety and efficacy data will be presented.
