Background: Prexasertib inhibits CHK1, a kinase involved in DNA repair and replication. LY3023414 inhibits PI3K/mTOR signaling, implicated in the development of malignant disease. Prexasertib + LY3023414 has resulted in enhanced antitumor activity in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) in vitro models. Methods: This Phase 1b study in patients (pts) with solid tumors assessed escalating doses of prexasertib (60-105 mg/m² IV every 14 days [q14d]) and LY3023414 (100-200 mg orally twice daily [BID]). Dose escalation ceased once the maximum tolerated dose of each monotherapy was reached. An initial expansion cohort (Arm E) explored prexasertib 105 mg/m² q14d + LY3023414 200 mg BID. Subsequent expansion cohorts evaluated prexasertib 105 mg/m² q14d + LY3023414 150 mg BID in pts with solid tumors with PIK3CA mutations (Arm E2) or TNBC (Arm E3). Results: Fifty pts were enrolled (escalation: n = 13; Arm E: n = 9; Arm E2: n = 15; Arm E3: n = 13). No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed during escalation however DLT-equivalent toxicities were observed in 2 pts in Arm E (anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, oral mucositis, abdominal pain, fatigue). Due to toxicity, a reduced dose of LY3023414 (150 mg BID) was assessed in Arm E2/E3. In the 28 patients treated in Arms E2/E3, common treatment-related adverse events (any grade; grade ≥3) were: leukopenia/neutropenia (82%; 79%), thrombocytopenia (46%; 36%), nausea (46%; 0%), stomatitis (39%, 4%), vomiting (36%; 0%), and anemia (29%; 18%). Febrile neutropenia was reported in 25% of pts. Dose reductions in Arm E2/E3 were common. In escalation, 2 pts achieved a partial response (PR) and 3 pts achieved stable disease (SD). In Arm E, 78% of pts achieved SD. Of the pts evaluable at the time of data transfer, PRs were achieved in 1 pt with an unknown primary (Arm E2) and 2 pts with TNBC (Arm E3). Each agent’s pharmacokinetic profile was consistent with prior monotherapy data. Conclusions: Prexasertib + LY3023414 showed preliminary efficacy in heavily pretreated pts with solid tumors but was associated with toxicity, suggesting supportive care may be required.
