TPS2618 Background: Tipifarnib is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of farnesyltransferase (FT). FT catalyzes the post-translational attachment of farnesyl groups to signaling proteins that are requisite for localization to the inner cell membrane. While all RAS isoforms (KRAS/NRAS/HRAS) are FT substrates, only HRAS is exclusively dependent upon farnesylation for membrane localization and signaling activation, making HRAS mutant tumors uniquely susceptible to tipifarnib mediated inhibition of FT. Tipifarnib has demonstrated robust activity in HRAS mutant head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and HRAS mutant squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient derived xenograft (PDX) models resistant to standard therapies. Methods: This is a multi-institutional, open-label Phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tipifarnib for pts with HRAS mutant solid tumors. Pts must have either unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic non-hematological malignancies that harbor a missense HRAS mutation. The primary endpoint of the study is overall response rate. Secondary endpoints include safety and tolerability, PFS, duration of response. Two cohorts (N = 18 each) are enrolling, each being evaluated with a Simon two-stage design. Cohort 1 is for patients with malignant thyroid tumors of any histology. Cohort 2 was originally designated for pts with any other solid tumor. The prespecified activity goal for the first stage of accrual in Cohort 2 was met. Based on data observed in the first stage of this group, enrollment to the second stage of Cohort 2 has been limited to HRAS mutant HNSCC since August 2016. Enrolled patients are treated with tipifarnib 900 mg administered orally twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21 of 28-day treatment cycles until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. Clinical trial information: NCT02383927.
