ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This phase I study aimed to define the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of tebentafusp, a first-in-class T-cell receptor/anti-CD3 bispecific protein, using a three-week step-up dosing regimen, and to assess its safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM).METHODS:
In this open-label, international, phase I/II study, HLA-A*02 or HLA-A*0201+ patients with mUM received tebentafusp 20 µg once in week 1 and 30 µg once in week 2. Dose escalation (starting at 54 µg) began at week 3 in a standard 3 + 3 design to define RP2D. Expansion-phase patients were treated at the RP2D (20-30-68 µg). Blood and tumor samples were collected for pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics assessment, and treatment efficacy was evaluated for all patients with baseline efficacy data as of December 2017.RESULTS:
Between March 2016 and December 2017, 42 eligible patients who failed a median of two previous treatments were enrolled 19 in the dose escalation cohort and 23 in an initial dose expansion cohort. Of the dose levels investigated, 68 µg was identified as the RP2D. Most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events regardless of attribution were pyrexia (91%), rash (83%), pruritus (83%), nausea (74%), fatigue (71%), and chills (69%). Toxicity attenuated following the first three doses. The overall response rate was 11.9% (95% CI, 4.0 to 25.6). With a median follow-up of 32.4 months, median overall survival was 25.5 months (range, 0.89-31.1 months) and 1-year overall survival rate was 67%. Treatment was associated with increased tumor T-cell infiltration and transient increases in serum inflammatory mediators.CONCLUSION:
Using a step-up dosing regimen of tebentafusp allowed a 36% increase in the RP2D compared with weekly fixed dosing, with a manageable side-effect profile and a signal of efficacy in mUM.
