Abstract
Background Integrin beta-6 plays a role in tumor pathogenesis and invasiveness, and is correlated with poor outcomes in several cancers, making it a therapeutic target of interest.1,2 SGN-B6A is an investigational vedotin ADC comprised of an integrin beta-6-directed monoclonal antibody conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable linker. SGN-B6A elicits antitumor activity through MMAE-mediated cytotoxicity, bystander effect, and immunogenic cell death.3 Herein, we present the first clinical data in Part A (dose escalation) of a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating SGN-B6A.
Methods SGNB6A-001 (NCT04389632) is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter dose-escalation/expansion study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of SGN-B6A (confirmed objective response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1) in adults with advanced solid tumors.
Part A is enrolling patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumors, relapsed or refractory disease or intolerance to standard-of-care therapies. Data for continuous weekly dosing (Days 1, 8, and 15 in a 21-day cycle [Q1W]) and intermittent dosing (Days 1 and 8 in a 21-day cycle [2Q3W]) are presented in this abstract.
Results As of 10 May 2022, 30 patients in Q1W (0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 mg/kg) and 18 patients in 2Q3W (1.2 or 1.25 mg/kg) received SGN-B6A. Baseline demographics are outlined in Table 1.
In Q1W, 1 dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of stomatitis (5.9%) was reported at the 1.2 mg/kg dose level (n=17; Table 2). The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) in Q1W across all doses (n=30) were fatigue (26.7%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (23.3%), alopecia (20%) and decreased appetite (20%). The most common Grade ≥ 3 TRAE reported across all dose groups was neutropenia (10%).
In 2Q3W (n=18), two patients experienced DLTs (diarrhea, neutropenia, and rash maculo-papular [5.6%]). The most common TRAEs were alopecia, diarrhea, and peripheral sensory neuropathy (16.7% each), and the most common Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs were diarrhea, hyperglycemia, and neutropenia (11.1%).
Objective responses were observed in Q1W and 2Q3W in several tumor types including non-small cell lung, head and neck squamous cell, esophageal, and cutaneous squamous cell cancer, starting at 1.2 mg/kg. Detailed efficacy results will be presented.
Conclusions SGN-B6A at both dosing schedules demonstrated an acceptable safety profile, with more favorable tolerability at 2Q3W (table 2). Preliminary antitumor activity has been observed starting at 1.2 mg/kg. Enrollment in Part B (dose expansion) is ongoing.
