    Abstract: Gastric cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The objective of this article is to review the epidemiology and biology of gastric cancer risk. This literature review explores the biological, clinical, and environmental factors that influence the rates of this disease and discuss the different intervention methods that may not only increase the awareness of gastric cancer but also increase screening in efforts to reduce the risk of gastric cancer. Helicobacter pylori infection is the primary risk factor for gastric cancer. Additional risk factors include geographical location, age, sex, smoking, socioeconomic status, dietary intake, and genetics. Primary and secondary prevention strategies such as dietary modifications and screenings are important measures for reducing the risk of gastric cancer. Interventions, such as H. pylori eradication through chemoprevention trials, have shown some potential as a preventative strategy. Although knowledge about gastric cancer risk has greatly increased, future research is warranted on the differentiation of gastric cancer epidemiology by subsite and exploring the interactions between H. pylori infection, genetics, and environmental factors. Better understanding of these relationships can help researchers determine the most effective intervention strategies for reducing the risk of this disease.

    Abstract: 2570 Background: Loss of PTEN function leads to increased PI3Kβ signalling. AZD8186 (AZD) exhibits significant anti-tumour activity in PTEN-deficient preclinical models, particularly when combined with anti-androgens or the dual mTORC1/2 inhibitor vistusertib (AZD2014). Here we report on the dose-finding part of this Phase 1 study. Methods: AZD single agent was administered twice daily (BD) in 3 different schedules (5 days on/ 2 days off, 2 days on/ 5 days off and continuous). Escalating doses of AZD were evaluated in cohorts of 3-6 patients treated until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Accrual is ongoing in the combination arms with vistusertib or abiraterone acetate. Results: As of 16 Jan 2017, 87 patients have received AZD at doses of 30–360 mg BD, with 28 confirmed as PTEN deficient (IHC). The selected RP2D for the 5 days on/2 days off monotherapy schedule is 60 mg BD. PK parameters show that systemic exposures to AZD and its major active metabolite increase in a dose proportional manner. 69 serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in 31 patients on AZD monotherapy with 23 SAEs considered possibly related to AZD. In the 5/2 schedule: 5 dose limiting toxicities (G3 rash with ≥G2 fever and/or chills) were observed in 5 patients at doses of 120-360mg. Adverse events ≥G1 in 〉 20% included diarrhoea, nausea, fatigue, LFT elevations and decreased appetite. 20 patients remained on study for 〉 100 days. Dose-dependent target inhibition has been demonstrated in surrogate tissue (platelets). Evaluation of direct tumour target engagement in paired biopsies is currently ongoing. Preliminary efficacy: Confirmed PRs seen in a CRPC patient (BRCA2 and androgen receptor mutant) treated in combination with vistusertib (on study for 411 days) and in one ongoing monotherapy PTEN-deficient colorectal cancer patient (on study 〉 329 days). Updated data will be presented. Conclusions: AZD has potential for treatment of PTEN-deficient tumours. Investigation of the safety/tolerability and preliminary efficacy in combination with vistusertib or abiraterone acetate is continuing. Clinical trial information: NCT01884285.

    Abstract: PARP inhibitors are approved for the treatment of high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC). Therapeutic resistance, resulting from restoration of homologous recombination (HR) repair or replication fork stabilization, is a pressing clinical problem. We assessed the activity of prexasertib, a checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) inhibitor known to cause replication catastrophe, as monotherapy and in combination with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in preclinical models of HGSOC, including those with acquired PARP inhibitor resistance. Experimental Design: Prexasertib was tested as a single agent or in combination with olaparib in 14 clinically annotated and molecularly characterized luciferized HGSOC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and in a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines. The ability of prexasertib to impair HR repair and replication fork stability was also assessed. Results: Prexasertib monotherapy demonstrated antitumor activity across the 14 PDX models. Thirteen models were resistant to olaparib monotherapy, including 4 carrying BRCA1 mutation. The combination of olaparib with prexasertib was synergistic and produced significant tumor growth inhibition in an olaparib-resistant model and further augmented the degree and durability of response in the olaparib-sensitive model. HGSOC cell lines, including those with acquired PARP inhibitor resistance, were also sensitive to prexasertib, associated with induction of DNA damage and replication stress. Prexasertib also sensitized these cell lines to PARP inhibition and compromised both HR repair and replication fork stability. Conclusions: Prexasertib exhibits monotherapy activity in PARP inhibitor–resistant HGSOC PDX and cell line models, reverses restored HR and replication fork stability, and synergizes with PARP inhibition.

    Abstract: Introduction: Phase 1 clinical trials of novel therapeutics have historically focused on toxicity, but increasingly are doubling as efficacy studies in biomarker-enriched populations. Given the small sample sizes (∼3-6 patients per dose), response on imaging may be a coarse marker of therapeutic effect. Here we piloted serial ddPCR of plasma cfDNA as a PD marker in a phase I combination study of a MEK inhibitor and a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in patients with RAS mutated cancers. Methods / Results: Twenty-five pts with RAS-mutated cancer (incl. 17 patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC) have been enrolled to date in a phase I dose escalation trial of the MEK inhibitor PD-0325901 with the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (NCT02022982). Plasma for cfDNA genotyping was collected at baseline prior to therapy and at the beginning of cycle 2. Plasma genotyping for KRAS G12X mutations was performed using a validated and highly quantitative droplet digital PCR assay. Pts were enrolled in 5 dose level cohorts ranging from 75 mg palbociclib daily (3 weeks on, 1 week off) with 2 mg PD-0325901 BID (3 weeks on 1week off) to 125 mg palbociclib daily with 8 mg PD-0325901 BID (Table). KRAS mutations were detected in 14/24 pts at baseline (59%, median 1402 copies/mL plasma, range: 11-93000), consistent with the previously reported sensitivity of 64%. A second blood draw at cycle 2 was obtained for all 14 pts. A positive plasma response, defined as decrease of KRAS G12X mutants from first to second dose, was observed in 6 pts (range -6% - -100%) with the most plasma responders (n = 4 pts) at the maximum administered dose. At lower administered doses, there was a median increase in plasma KRAS mutant levels. Conclusions: Increasing dose levels resulted in more consistent decreases in KRAS mutation in cfDNA, consistent with a dose-dependent pharmacodynamic effect.These results highlight the potential value of serial plasma ddPCR as a PD marker in early phase clinical trials.

    Abstract: Polyester is one of the most common resins used in contact lay-up method because of its low cost, room-temperature curing, wide availability, ease of handing, etc. However, the main disadvantage of this resin is the large volumetric shrinkage after curing (up to about 0.5%). This represents a major problem because it can cause unexpected defects in the molded composite parts such as warpage, distortion, rippled surface, etc. The effect of resin shrinkage on composite deformations is very complex because of the anisotropic properties induced by the fibers, especially in woven fabric composites with interlacing yarns. Moreover, in many applications, when the part geometry has a double curvature, the forming process usually results in significant in-plane shear deformation of the interlaced yams. The angle between the fill and the warp threads is no longer orthogonal because the fabric must follow the shape of the mold. In this work, an approach to measure the shrinkage coefficients of the interlaced yarns of fabric structure has been developed. The recently proposed sub-plies model has been used to predict deformations due to resin shrinkage in woven fabric composite. Resin shrinkage can lead to an expansion in the laminates with specific angles between undulated yams, due probably to a straightening effect on the fibers. Expansions due to matrix shrinkage were verified on several woven laminates. Prediction of deformations due to matrix shrinkage by the sub-plies model is in good agreement with experimental measurements.

    Abstract: We conducted a first-in-human, first-in-class, phase I study of SGN-2FF, a potent small-molecule inhibitor of glycoprotein fucosylation, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods The study consisted of four parts: SGN-2FF monotherapy dose-escalation (part A) and expansion (part B), and SGN-2FF + pembrolizumab dose-escalation (part C) and expansion (part D). The objectives were to evaluate safety and tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and antitumor activity of SGN-2FF monotherapy and SGN-2FF + pembrolizumab. Results Forty-six patients were enrolled (part A, n = 33; part B, n = 6; part C, n = 7; part D did not enroll any patients). During part A (n = 32) exploring 1–15 g once daily (QD) and 2–5 g twice daily (b.i.d.), grade 3 dose-limiting toxicities were diarrhea (2 g and 15 g QD) and increased lipase (2 g QD). The MTD was 10 g daily. In part A, common toxicities were grades 1–2 diarrhea, fatigue, and nausea (each 47%); thromboembolic events (grades 2–5) occurred in 5 of 32 patients (16%). Safety measures included concurrent prophylactic anticoagulation with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH). In part C, despite the safety measures implemented, a thromboembolic event occurred in one of seven patients (14%) during the SGN-2FF lead-in period. Of 28 evaluable patients in part A, 1 patient with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma achieved Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 complete response (CR) and 10 (36%) had RECIST v1.1 stable disease, including 1 patient with advanced triple-negative breast cancer with 51% tumor burden reduction. SGN-2FF administration led to dose-proportional increases in exposure and PD reduction in protein fucosylation. Conclusion SGN-2FF demonstrated proof-of-mechanism and preliminary antitumor activity but was associated with thromboembolic events leading to study termination.

    Abstract: Patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) have limited additional therapeutic options beyond traditional carboplatin and paclitaxel. Immuno-oncologic (IO) agents have had limited effect, and despite the fact that 50% of HGSCs have genomic alterations in DNA damage repair genes, we still have no means of predicting which of these tumors actually harbor repair defects and will respond to these agents. Using patient-derived organoids which contain patient immune cells, we have developed functional assays to test the DNA damage repair capacity, anti-tumor immune response, and therapeutic vulnerability of HGSCs. These assays include testing for defects in the two key DNA damage repair pathways, homologous recombination (HR) and stalled replication fork protection, testing for activity and specificity of the immune cells in the cultures against the tumor cells when exacerbated by specific therapeutic combinations, and testing for therapeutic sensitivity to targeted and traditional chemotherapy agents and IO agents either alone or in rational combinations. In parallel, many of the tumors and organoids have undergone genomic and RNA sequencing, searching for relevant alterations to explain detected defects. Flow cytometry analysis of the parent tumors and short term (7-10 day) organoids reveal that organoids contain an immune milieu with IO receptor expression levels similar to the parent tumors. Upon treatment with IO agents alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents, we have found that specific IO receptor expression is altered, certain combinations lead to induction of cytokine expression that may repress an anti-tumor response, and that some combinations do not induce the expected cytotoxicity. The DNA damage repair functional assays have revealed that in HGSC, stalled fork protection defects are more common than HR defects, regardless of the repair gene mutational status of the tumors. Importantly, there is a wider array of therapies available to target these defects. For instance, organoids with unstable replication forks are more sensitive to ATR and CHK1 inhibitors. Organoids with stable forks are more sensitive to combinations of drugs which confer replication stress, such as the combination of a CHK1 inhibitor plus gemcitabine. Overall, the repair assays will allow for a better understanding of the types and mechanisms of repair defects present in tumors and a more accurate prediction of sensitivity to targeted agents. The immune functional assays will allow for a better mechanistic understanding of what response specific agents actually induce in immune and tumor cells and allow for better rational therapeutic pairings. Through assessment of a larger number of patients, we hope to demonstrate that these functional assays can have a clinical impact in rapidly predicting patient response. Citation Format: Sarah J.

    Abstract: Background: Although PARP inhibition is effective against HR repair-deficient cancers, efficacy is limited by HR proficiency, whether present de novo or as a result of acquired resistance, prompting HR disrupting strategies to sensitize tumor cells. Inhibition of CDK1 and CDK12 compromise HR by blocking BRCA1 phosphorylation, affecting recruitment to sites of DNA damage, and by reducing HR gene expression, respectively. Dinaciclib is a pan-CDK inhibitor that inhibits both CDK1 and CDK12 at nanomolar potency. We conducted a Phase 1 study combining dinaciclib and veliparib in patients with advanced solid tumors who are not germline BRCA carriers. Methods: A 3+3 design was utilized. Veliparib was administered twice daily continuously in 28-day cycles. Dinaciclib was administered intravenously on days 8 and 22. In part 1A, escalation followed a two-dimensional schema, utilizing doses of dinaciclib between 10 - 45 mg/m2 and veliparib between 20 - 120 mg. In part 1B, veliparib was escalated between 200 mg - 400 mg with dinaciclib maintained at 30 mg/m2. PK and PD assessments were performed at baseline, after veliparib, and after the combination. Preliminary Results: Sixty-three heavily pretreated patients were enrolled in part 1A (n = 39) and 1B (n = 24). Thirty-four patients had breast or gynecologic malignancies. The MTD was 400 mg twice-daily veliparib with dinaciclib at 30 mg/m2. DLTs included G4 neutropenia & gt; 7 days (n =1), febrile neutropenia (n = 1), mucositis (n = 1) and fatigue (n = 1). Common drug-related toxicities were neutropenia (78%), nausea (75%), fatigue (67%), electrolyte abnormalities (59%), elevated liver function tests (57%), diarrhea (52%), lymphopenia (52%), anemia (43%), dehydration (37%), anorexia (30%), vomiting (29%), hypoalbuminemia (29%), dizziness (29%), headache (22%), mucositis (18%), elevated creatinine (16%), alopecia (16%), thrombocytopenia (14%), abdominal pain (13%), insomnia (13%), and dysgeusia (11%). The median number of cycles completed was 2 (r: 1 - 10). One patient with TNBC achieved complete resolution of axillary adenopathy lasting & gt; 8 months. Twenty-four patients (38%) had stable disease as the best response, with 9 progression-free & gt; 4 months (TNBC, gynecologic and thymic ca). Paired tumor biopsies from one patient demonstrated reduced Ki-67 and increased gamma-H2AX staining after combination treatment compared to after veliparib alone. Conclusions: Dinaciclib administered at doses known to produce PD effects is tolerable with full dose veliparib. Anti-tumor activity is limited in non-BRCA carriers, possibly related to intermittent administration of a CDK inhibitor with known short half-life. Additional patients are being enrolled utilizing dinaciclib in more dose-intense schedules. Citation Format: Geoffrey I. Shapiro, Khanh T. Do, Sara M. Tolaney, John F. Hilton, James M.
