Abstract
Purpose
MAK683, a first-in-class and highly selective allosteric inhibitor of the embryonic ectoderm development subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2, has shown sustained antitumor activity in tumor xenograft models. This first-in-human phase 1/2 study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and clinical activity of single-agent MAK683 in advanced malignancies.
Methods
MAK683 was administered fasted once daily or twice daily continuously in 28-day treatment cycles. Safety assessments included the nature of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs. The PK profile of MAK683 was assessed in sequential blood samples of cycles 1–6, and pharmacodynamic profiles were measured by H3K27me3 changes from baseline.
Results
Overall, 139 patients (clear cell carcinoma of the ovary [CCCO], 9 [6.5%]; castration-resistant prostate cancer [CRPC], 22 [15.8 %]; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL], 31 [22.3%]; epithelioid sarcoma [ES], 17 [12.2 %]; gastric cancer [GC], 37 [26.6 %]; nasopharyngeal carcinoma [NPC], 17 [12.2 %]; SWI/SNF-mutated sarcoma, 6 [4.3 %]) received MAK683. Median duration of exposure was 57 days (range: 4–1006). Fifteen patients experienced 22 DLTs including thrombocytopenia (4.9 %) and febrile neutropenia (3.3 %). MAK683-related AEs were reported in 98 patients (70.5 %); 43 patients had grade 3/4 drug-related AEs, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. MAK683 was quickly absorbed, with peak plasma concentrations ranging from 0.975 to 4.08 h. Median progression-free survival was 1.9 months (90 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.8–2.3), and overall response rate was 5.8 % (90 % CI: 2.52–11.03 %). Clinical activity was observed in patients with advanced DLBCL and ES.
Conclusion
Overall, MAK683 treatment was well tolerated, and clinical activity was observed in patients with advanced DLBCL and ES.
