PF672 RESULTS FROM ONGOING PHASE 1/2 CLINICAL TRIAL OF TAGRAXOFUSP (SL‐401) IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED/REFRACTORY CHRONIC MYELOMONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (CMML)

Background: Patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) have historically poor outcomes, with ∼6–7 month median overall survival (OS) in the relapsed/refractory (r/r) setting. Splenomegaly is a major cause of morbidity, is a poor prognostic factor and has emerged as a potential therapeutic target in CMML. Tagraxofusp (SL‐401) is a targeted therapy directed to CD123, a target expressed on CMML blasts, monocytes and neoplastic microenvironmental plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) that are part of the CMML malignant clone, as well as on a variety of additional malignancies. Tagraxofusp was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) and is being investigated in other CD123‐expressing malignancies. Aims: Primary objectives include assessment of safety, determining the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule, and evaluating efficacy in patients with CMML. Methods: This multicenter, open‐label, Phase 1/2 clinical trial is enrolling patients with CMML. In Stage 1 (dose escalation), tagraxofusp was administered as a daily IV infusion at 7, 9, and 12 mcg/kg on days 1–3 every 21 days (cycle 1–4), every 28 days (cycles 5–7), and every 42 days (cycles 8 and beyond). In Stage 2 (expansion), patients receive the RP2D (12 mcg/kg). Results: 20 patients with CMML (CMML‐1 [n = 12]; CMML‐2 [n = 8]) were treated with tagraxofusp, including 18 in the relapsed/refractory setting, with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) being the most commonly administered prior therapy. Median age was 69 years (range 43–80) and 80% were male. 10 patients (50%) had baseline splenomegaly (defined as spleen palpable below the left costal margin [BCM]), of which 6 had baseline splenomegaly ≥ 5 cm BCM. Most common treatment‐related adverse events (TRAEs, incidence ≥ 20%) were hypoalbuminaemia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. Most common ≥ grade 3 TRAEs were thrombocytopenia (35%) and nausea (5%). Capillary leak syndrome was reported in 3 patients (grade 1–2). 100% (10/10) of patients with baseline splenomegaly had a spleen response by physical exam: 80% (8/10) had spleen size reduction of ≥ 50% and 67% (4/6) with baseline spleen size ≥ 5 cm had spleen size reduction of ≥ 50%. Three patients treated with tagraxofusp achieved bone marrow complete responses (BMCRs), including 1 patient who was bridged to stem cell transplant in remission on tagraxofusp. Summary/Conclusion: Tagraxofusp demonstrated single agent activity in patients with CMML and splenomegaly, an area of potential unmet medical need. Given the expression of CD123 in CMML, tagraxofusp represents a rational therapeutic approach in this disease. Updated data will be presented, and a registrational trial is planned. Trial information: NCT02268253.
