Prolonging overall survival (OS) remains an unmet need in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). In ELOQUENT-2 (NCT01239797), elotuzumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (ERd) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) in patients with RRMM and 1-3 prior lines of therapy (LoTs). We report results from the pre-planned final OS analysis after a minimum follow-up of 70.6 months, the longest reported for an antibody-based triplet in RRMM. Overall, 646 patients with RRMM and 1-3 prior LoTs were randomized 1:1 to ERd or Rd. PFS and overall response rate were co-primary endpoints. OS was a key secondary endpoint, with the final analysis planned after 427 deaths. ERd demonstrated a statistically significant 8.7-month improvement in OS versus Rd (median, 48.3 vs 39.6 months; hazard ratio, 0.82 [95.4% Cl, 0.68-1.00]; P = 0.0408 [less than allotted α of 0.046]), which was consistently observed across key predefined subgroups. No additional safety signals with ERd at extended follow-up were reported. ERd is the first antibody-based triplet regimen shown to significantly prolong OS in patients with RRMM and 1-3 prior LoTs. The magnitude of OS benefit was greatest among patients with adverse prognostic factors, including older age, ISS stage III, IMWG high-risk disease, and 2-3 prior LoTs.
Abstract Dinaciclib is a potent, selective inhibitor of CDKs 1, 2, 5, and 9 with preclinical activity in breast cancer cell lines and tumor xenografts. A randomized, multicenter, open-label phase 2 study was conducted to compare the efficacy of dinaciclib and capecitabine (1250 mg PO) in patients (pts) with advanced, previously treated breast cancer (BC). Dinaciclib 50 mg/m2 was administered by 2-hour i.v. infusion once every 21 days. Key inclusion criteria included ≤2 prior chemotherapy regimens, prior treatment with a taxane and anthracycline, and measurable disease. According to the original design, 20 pts were to be randomized 1:1 and thereafter pts were to be randomized using an adaptive Bayesian algorithm that adjusts the randomization ratio in favor of the more active arm. The protocol was amended to continue 1:1 randomization in lieu of the adaptive approach to obtain more experience with upfront dinaciclib. Patients were allowed to cross-over to dinaciclib after progressing on capecitabine. This design provides a comparison of dinaciclib versus capecitabine and an assessment of dinaciclib activity in patients who progressed on capecitabine. Time-to-progression (TTP) was the primary endpoint for pts receiving upfront treatment, and response rate (RR) was the primary endpoint for pts who crossed over to dinaciclib. Twenty-eight pts were treated (13 dinaciclib, 15 capecitabine). Data on 19 dinaciclib treated pts, including 6 that crossed over, are presented. Their median age was 53 (34-80) with a median of 2 (1-2) prior chemotherapy regimens and median ECOG performance status of 1(0-1). ER+/PR+/Her2 receptor status is available for 10/13 pts treated with dinaciclib, including five with ER+/PR+/Her2-, one with ER-/PR-/Her2-, two with ER-/PR-/Her2+ and two with ER+/PR-/Her2-. The median number of treatment cycles was 3 (1-11). 17 pts received more than one cycle of dinaciclib treatement. Investigators reported partial responses (PR) in 2/12 (17%) evaluable subjects receiving upfront dinaciclib; both with ER+/HER2- tumors. One confirmed PR had a complete resolution of a 4 cm chest wall mass. No responses were reported on the cross over arm. Four of fifteen (27%) evaluable subjects receiving capecitabine were reported to have PR. Analysis of TTP will be presented at the meeting. Treatment-related grade 1 and 2 toxicities, occurring in >30% of pts, included diarrhea (67%), nausea (67%), vomiting (61%), neutropenia (50%) and decreased appetite (44%). The most common treatment-related grade 3 and 4 toxicities, occurring in 2 or more pts, were neutropenia (64%), leukopenia (29%), AST increased (14%) and febrile neutropenia (14%). PK results will be included in the final abstract. Dinaciclib monotherapy showed some anti-tumor activity, with acceptable safety and tolerability, in patients with ER+/Her2- BC, warranting further exploration in the combination setting.

Adults with triple-class refractory (TCR) multiple myeloma (MM) have limited treatment options and poor prognosis, but the burden of TCR MM has not been well characterized. This study evaluated treatment patterns, overall survival (OS), health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and healthcare resource use (HCRU) among patients with TCR MM in US clinical practice.Patients with TCR MM in the Connect MM Registry (NCT01081028; a large, US, multicenter, prospective observational cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed MM) were included. Patient characteristics, treatment patterns, HRQoL, and HCRU were analyzed using descriptive statistics. OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier methodology for the overall cohort and for patients with/without ≥1 post-TCR line of therapy (LOT).A total of 232 patients with TCR MM were included; 155 (67%) had ≥1 post-TCR LOT (post-TCR-Treated subgroup; median 9.9 months of follow-up). Most common post-TCR treatments were carfilzomib (47%), pomalidomide (40%), and daratumumab (26%); median treatment duration was 3.3 months. Median OS was 9.9 months in the overall population, 10.8 months in post-TCR-Treated patients, and 2.6 months for those with no new post-TCR LOT. HRQoL deteriorated and pain increased over 1 year of follow-up, with clinically meaningfully changes in EQ-5D (mean, -0.06 points) and FACT-G (mean, -9.9 points). 124 (53%) patients had ≥1 all-cause hospitalization and 58 (25%) had ≥1 MM-related hospitalization; median annualized length of stay was 35.3 and 42.9 days, respectively.The burden of TCR MM is substantial, emphasizing the need for more effective treatment options in the TCR setting.
Abstract Dinaciclib is a potent, selective inhibitor of CDKs 1, 2, 5, and 9 with preclinical activity against NSCLC cell lines and tumor xenografts. NSCLC tumors have numerous defects in cell cycle regulation (abnormal p16/cyclin D/Rb pathway, cyclin E overexpression, loss of p27/KIP1). The rationale for this study is that abnormal cell cycle regulation may predispose NSCLC cells to the pro-apoptotic effects of dinaciclib. A randomized, multicenter, open-label phase 2 study was conducted to compare the efficacy of dinaciclib and erlotinib (150 mg PO QD) in patients (pts) with locally advanced previously treated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Dinaciclib 50 mg/m2 was administered by 2-hour i.v. infusion once every 21 days. Key inclusion criteria included ≤ 2 prior chemotherapy regimens and measurable disease. Patients were randomized to treatment with dinaciclib or erlotinib using an adaptive Bayesian design to adjust the randomization ratio in favor of the more active arm. Patients could cross-over to dinaciclib after progressing on erlotinib. This design provides a comparison of dinaciclib versus erlotinib and assesses dinaciclib activity in patients who've progressed on erlotinib. Primary endpoints: Time-to-progression (TTP) for pts receiving upfront treatment; and response rate (RR) for pts who crossed over to dinaciclib. Sixty-four pts received upfront treatment with either erlotinib (n=49) or dinaciclib (n=15). Seventeen patients crossed over from upfront erlotinib arm to dinaciclib. Median age was 65 (range 46-82) with a median of 1 (range 1-2) prior chemotherapy regimens and median ECOG performance status of 1 (0-2). The median number of treatment cycles was 2 (range 1-19), with 27/32 treated pts receiving > 1 cycle of treatment with dinaciclib. Tumor responses were assessed using RECIST. No dinaciclib responses were observed in either upfront or cross over arms. Two of forty-nine (4%) evaluable subjects receiving upfront erlotinib were reported to have partial responses (PR). Analysis of TTP will be presented at the meeting. Treatment-related grade 1 and 2 toxicities, occurring in >30% of pts included diarrhea (76%), neutropenia (66%), vomiting (59%), nausea (55%), fatigue (38%) and leukopenia (38%). The most common treatment-related grade 3 and 4 toxicities, occurring in 2 or more pts were neutropenia (60%), leukopenia (32%), vomiting (20%), diarrhea (16%), fatigue (12%), nausea (12%), electrolyte imbalance (8%) and hyperuricemia (8%). PK results are pending and will be included in the final abstract. Dinaciclib has acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with NSCLC but did not demonstrate anti-tumor activity. In accordance with pre-specified rules of the adaptive design, patient enrollment was stopped initially in the crossover stage and in the upfront stage of the trial.
