e15177 Background: CD105, also known as endoglin, is an endothelial cell membrane receptor that is highly expressed on tumor vasculature, including HCC. CD105 is essential for angiogenesis and its expression is upregulated by hypoxia and VEGF inhibition. TRC105 is a chimeric IgG1 anti-CD105 monoclonal antibody that inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth by endothelial cell growth inhibition, ADCC and apoptosis. Methods: Patients with HCC and compensated liver function (Childs Pugh A/B7), ECOG 0/1, were enrolled to a single arm phase II study of TRC105 15mg/kg IV every 2 weeks. Patients must have progressed on or been intolerant of prior sorafenib. A Simon optimal 2-stage design was employed with a 50% 4-month PFS target for progression to the second stage. Correlative biomarkers evaluated included: DCE-MRI; FDG-PET; color Doppler ultrasonography; circulating endothelial progenitor cells, plasma levels of angiogenic factors; soluble CD105 and tumor IHC for CD105. Immunogenicity studies were also performed. Results: 8 pts have been treated so far; M:F 6:2; Median age = 58 (range 24-67); 7 pts had progressed following sorafenib (N=1 intolerant). N=1 pt had fibrolammellar HCC. There were no grade 3/4 treatment-related toxicities. Most frequent toxicities were headache (G2; N=3) and epistaxis (G1; N=4). One patient with a history of ischemic heart disease developed acute cardiac syndrome during the first infusion and was replaced. No patient was progression free at 4 months by RECIST criteria. Median time on study was 8 weeks (range 4-16 weeks). Median no. of doses administered was 4 (range 2-7). Preliminary evidence of biologic response was seen on DCE-MRI in 1pt (of 3 evaluable) with a reduction in kTrans and kep and 3pts (of 3 evaluable) who demonstrated reduction in intra-tumoral color flow on color Doppler. Conclusions: TRC105 is well tolerated in this HCC population post-sorafenib. Although there was biological evidence of antiangiogenic activity it is unlikely that the study will proceed to the second stage. Full clinical and correlative data for the first stage of the study will be presented. Future role of TRC105 in HCC will most likely be as combination therapy with sorafenib or other anti-VEGF therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT01375569.
