Abstract:
TPS10065 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibition in children has shown limited success rates until now. This is most likely due to the fact that the vast majority of pediatric cancers are so-called immunologic cold tumors, and that patients have been enrolled in an unselected manner in single agent trials. Recently, it has been shown that the class I selective HDAC inhibitor entinostat has significant immune enhancing activity in vitro and in vivo. This is mediated through multiple mechanisms including depletion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, activation of neoantigen transcription and increase of MHC expression. Methods: INFORM2 NivEnt is an exploratory nonrandomized, open-label, multinational and multicenter seamless phase I/II basket trial of nivolumab and entinostat in children and adolescents with relapsed, refractory or progressive high-risk solid and CNS tumors. Patients aged 6-21 will be allocated to the following biomarker-defined groups: high mutational load ( 〉 100 somatic SNVs/exome; group A), high PD-L1 mRNA expression (RPKM 〉 3; group B), focal MYC(N) amplification (group C), low mutational load and low PD-L1 mRNA expression and no MYC(N) amplification (Biomarker low group D). Phase I determines the recommended phase 2 dose for the combination for the age groups 6-11 and 12-21 years. Patients will receive nivolumab 3mg/kg every 2 weeks. Entinostat has 2 dose levels: 2mg/m 2 and 4mg/m 2 once per week. Patients can seamlessly enter the phase II which investigates activity (defined as best response during the first 6 cycles) in the 4 biomarker groups A-D. The duration of treatment is 12 cycles, preceded by 1 entinostat priming week. Interim analyses for futility will be performed after every 10 patients in each group. The study will enroll a maximum of 128 patients in Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, France, Australia and additional countries under discussion. A comprehensive accompanying biomarker program will investigate a series of immune and epigenetic pharmacodynamic biomarkers. Clinical trial information: NCT03838042.
