Abstract:
11562 Background: Afami-cel is an autologous, HLA-A*02-restricted, specific peptide enhanced affinity receptor, T-cell therapy engineered to target MAGE-A4+ solid tumors. The pivotal, 2-cohort, single-arm, Phase 2, SPEARHEAD-1 trial (NCT04044768) with afami-cel met its primary endpoint based on Cohort 1 data. As of September 1, 2021, in 47 patients (pts) with metastatic synovial sarcoma (SyS) or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS), the overall response rate (ORR) per independent review was 34% with encouraging durability (Van Tine, et al. Paper 30: CTOS 2021; Virtual). To identify potential stratification factors for response and assess whether response is a proxy for progression-free survival (PFS), we present pooled analyses using data from the prior Phase 1 trial (NCT03132922) and Cohort 1 of the SPEARHEAD-1 trial. Methods: Eligible pts (16–75 years) were HLA-A*02+ with MAGE-A4+ tumors. Pts received afami-cel after lymphodepleting chemotherapy. The pooled analyses evaluated ORR per RECIST v1.1 by investigator review, stratified by 7 factors, and safety. Results: In the pooled data, 69 pts received afami-cel (2.12–9.99×10 9 transduced T-cells) and were evaluable for response (Phase 1, n = 18; Phase 2, n = 51); all expressed one eligible HLA-A*02 allele. Median (range) for: age was 42 years (19–76), number of prior lines of therapy was 2 (1–12), and tumor MAGE-A4 H-score was 230 (60–300). Median (range) H-score was higher in SyS (256 [60–300]) than in MRCLS (180 [112–230] ). The pooled investigator-assessed ORR was 36.2% (40.7% in SyS; 10.0% in MRCLS). Responses occurred across a wide MAGE-A4 H-score range (134–300). Median (range) duration of response was 52 weeks (8.29–75.14). Response rate was higher in the 59 pts with SyS: with ≤2 vs ≥3 prior lines of therapy (55.2% vs 26.7%), baseline target lesion sum of longest diameters 〈 10cm vs ≥10cm (53.1% vs 25.9%), MAGE-A4 H-score ≥200 vs 〈 200 (46.3% vs 27.8%), without vs with bridging therapy (48.6% vs 29.2%), who were female vs male (46.4% vs 35.5%), aged ≥40 vs 〈 40 years (45.7% vs 33.3%), and from North America vs Europe (42.6% vs 33.3%). In responders vs non-responders with SyS, respectively, median PFS was 58.3 vs 11. 0 weeks (log-rank p-value 〈 0.0001); the probability of being progression-free at 24 weeks was 0.8 vs 0.2. The pooled benefit:risk profile of afami-cel was similar to that in the SPEARHEAD-1 trial (Van Tine, et al. Paper 30: CTOS 2021; Virtual.). Conclusions: We show that baseline tumor burden, prior systemic treatment history, and MAGE-A4 tumor expression levels are potential factors associated with response to afami-cel, although their true predictive value for response status awaits confirmation. Our findings will inform the ongoing clinical development of afami-cel in sarcoma, especially for prognostic studies with PFS or overall survival endpoints.
