| Abstract Text | 11506. Background: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is an aggressive sarcoma subtype with frequent metastatic relapse. After failure of front-line chemotherapy, remaining options provide limited benefit (trabectedin: ORR 11%, mPFS 4.0 mos; pazopanib: ORR 11%, median PFS 2.9 mos; dacarbazine: ORR 9%, mPFS 1.5 mos). Recent molecular studies suggest uLMS harbors characteristic defects in the homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathway, including somatic biallelic BRCA2 deletion in 10%, implicating potential sensitivity to PARP-inhibitor based treatment approaches. In preclinical uLMS models in which temozolomide (T, an oral equivalent to dacarbazine) or the PARP inhibitor olaparib (O) showed limited single agent activity, the combination of T + O was highly effective in inhibiting uLMS tumor growth and promoting apoptosis. Methods: NCI protocol #10250 is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center phase II study evaluating T + O in advanced uLMS. Pts had progression on ≥ 1 prior line and ECOG PS ≤ 2. Pts received T 75 mg/m2 PO daily + O 200 mg PO BID days 1-7 in 21-day cycles. Primary endpoint was ORR. A one-stage binomial design was used. If ≥ 5/22 responded, the treatment was considered promising (95% power; α = 0.06). All pts underwent paired tumor biopsies. Correlative assays to evaluate for HR deficiency (whole exome sequencing/RNAseq, RAD51 foci formation) and for intrinsic PARP inhibitor resistance (SLFN11 expression) will be correlated with response. Results: 22 patients were evaluable (median age 55, median prior treatment lines 3). Median follow-up was 10.8 mos. Primary endpoint, ORR within 6 mos of initiating treatment, was 23% (5/22). Overall ORR was 27% (6/22). Median PFS was 6.9 mos (95% CI: 5.4 mos – not estimable (NE)). Median duration of response (DOR) was 12.0 mos (95% CI: 9.5 mos – NE). Hematologic toxicity was common (grade 3/4 neutropenia, 77%; thrombocytopenia 32%) but manageable with dose modification. Correlative assays are ongoing with plans to present at the meeting. An immunohistochemical assay for RAD51 foci has been adapted for uLMS samples and clearly distinguishes BRCA2- deleted and wild-type tumors. Conclusions: NCI 10250 met the prespecified primary efficacy endpoint of ORR in a population of patients with heavily pre-treated uLMS. Responses are durable (median DOR 12 mos). Correlative assays are being completed to evaluate whether uLMS tumors with HR deficiency or with preserved SLFN11 expression are most sensitive to T + O and may underlie durable responses. A randomized study of the combination is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT03880019. | ||||||||||||
