Updated efficacy and safety results from the phase Ib/II study of surufatinib combined with camrelizumab and chemotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Abstract

e15547 Background: Preclinical and clinical data have demonstrated the synergistic anti-tumor effects of surufatinib, a novel VEGFR1-3, FGFR and CSF-1R inhibitor, in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)/chemotherapy. A phase Ib/II, open-label study (NCT04929652) was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib plus camrelizumab (anti-PD-1), irinotecan and GM-CSF as second-line treatment in advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). In the phase Ib part, this combination showed favorable safety and efficacy profile, which was presented at ASCO 2023 in poster format (#255). Here, we reported the updated results from the phase Ib and phase II dose escalation part together. Methods: In the phase Ib, pts with CRC received surufatinib at 250mg once daily (QD) as starting dose, in combination with fixed dose of camrelizumab (200 mg, d1), irinotecan (200 mg/m2, d1) and GM-CSF (5ug/kg, d2-d7), every 3 weeks (Q3W). It had been reported in phase Ib that surufatinib 300 mg QD was defined as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In phase II dose expansion part, a further 36 pts were treated with the same regimen. The primary endpoint of phase II was ORR as per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included PFS, DCR, OS and safety. Results: As of Jan 18, 2024, 30 CRC pts (median age 57) were enrolled in the study with 12 pts in the phase Ib part and 18 pts in the phase II part. 70% were male and 23% had ECOG PS 1. 24/30 (80%) pts were positive for KRAS, NRAS or BRAF mutations. Among the 30 efficacy evaluable pts, the ORR was 30.0% (95% CI 14.7–49.4; 9 PR) and DCR was 93.3% (95% CI 77.9–99.2; 28 PR+SD). Pts with RAS/BRAF mutations were more likely to achieve better responses (9 PR in 24 pts, ORR-37.5%). After a median follow-up time of 11.1 months, the median PFS was 6.34 months (95% CI 4.57-9.23) and median OS was not mature. The most common grade 1-2 treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) (≥35%) were diarrhea (70%), fatigue (40%), anemia (36.7%), proteinuria (36.7%) and nausea (36.7%). Eleven pts experienced at least one grade 3 or 4 TRAEs. Grade 3 or 4 TRAEs occurred in > 1 pt included diarrhea (n = 3, 10%) and neutrophil count decreased (n = 2, 6.7%). Conclusions: Surufatinib plus camrelizumab, irinotecan and GM-CSF demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in pts with advanced CRC, with a manageable safety profile. Expansion enrollment is ongoing and updated information will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT04929652 .
