Abstract
4534 Background: RC48-ADC is a novel humanized anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), which showed promising data in HER2-positive and even negative patients (pts). Anti-PD-1 Abs have durable antitumor effect for mUC especially in PD-L1 positive patients. The combination may have synergistic antitumor effect. This phase 1b/II study evaluated the safety and activity of RC48-ADC combined with toripalimab in mUC. Methods: In dose-escalation cohort, pts received 1.5 or 2 mg/kg RC48-ADC + 3mg/kg toripalimab with the traditional 3+3 escalation design. In expansion cohort, patients received the recommended dose of RC48-ADC + toripalimab every 2 weeks. The primary endpoints were safety/tolerability and recommended RC48-ADC dose; secondary endpoints included pharmacokinetics, ORR per RECIST 1.1, PFS, and OS stratified by HER2 and PD-L1 expression. HER2 positivity was determined by IHC and in situ hybridization (ISH). PD-L1 expression was tested with IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay. Results: As of 8 Jan 2021 (data cutoff), 14 mUC pts (9 males, median age 66 y [52-76]) were enrolled. Most pts were systemic treatment naïve (57%) in the locally advanced or metastatic setting. The primary site was in upper tract UC in 50%; 50% had visceral metastases (mets), including 36% with liver mets; HER2 expression was positive (IHC 3+ or 2+ ISH+) in 28%, and 43% PD-L1 CPS≥10. A total of 36 pts is anticipated to be enrolled by Apr 2021. No dose limiting toxicity was reported and the recommended dose for RC48-ADC was 2mg/kg. At data cutoff, 10/14 patients were evaluable for response, with 8 PR, 1 SD (tumor shrinking), and 1 PD. The objective response rate (ORR) was 80%, and disease control rate (DCR) was 90%. All responsive patients have durable efficacy and are still on treatment. Follow-up continues for PFS and OS. Most common treatment-related AEs were grade 1-2, including aminotransferase level increased (7/14, 50%), weight loss (6/14, 43%), alopecia (6/14, 43%), asthenia (4/14, 29%), anemia (3/14, 21%), leukopenia (21%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (21%), hypothyroidism (21%), blood triglycerides increased (21%), and creatine phosphokinase increase (21%). One pt had G3 intestinal obstruction attributed to study drug and went back to treatment after recovery. Conclusions: RC48-ADC in combination with toripalimab had a good tolerance and promising anti-tumor activity in pts with mUC. Further evaluation of safety and efficacy is ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT04264936.
