A phase Ib dose escalation study of combined inhibition of IDO1 (GDC-0919) and PD-L1 (atezolizumab) in patients (pts) with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

105Background: GDC-0919, a small molecule inhibitor of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), reduces tryptophan catabolism and kynurenine production within the tumor microenvironment that may promote normal effector T cell activity and an immunogenic state. IDO1 inhibition may complement targeting of PD-L1 with atezolizumab. Methods: A Phase Ib, open-label, study assessed safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and anti-tumor activity (RECIST v1.1) of GDC-0919 and atezolizumab in pts with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Pts were given escalating doses of GDC-0919 (50-1000 mg orally twice daily, for 21 days) and atezolizumab (1200 mg IV, every 3 weeks) using a standard 3+3 design. Results: As of 14Dec2016, 52 pts were treated in 6 cohorts of GDC-0919 plus atezolizumab. The median number of prior systemic therapies was 3 (range 1-9); 2 pts received prior immunotherapy. Pts received a median of 4 cycles of GDC-0919 and atezolizumab (range 1-17). No MTD was identified. Across all do...
