Background: Murine double minute 2 (MDM2) is a potent negative regulator of the tumor suppressor p53. MDM2 induces degradation of p53 and promotes tumorigenesis in solid tumors, and preclinical models have shown that inhibition of MDM2 can restore p53 tumor suppressor activity in TP53-wild type (WT), MDM2-amplified tumors. We performed a mutual exclusivity analysis of patients with solid tumors (n = 42,125; AACR Project GENIE) and found that the frequency of co-occurring TP53 mutations decreased with increasing MDM2 copy number. An MDM2 copy number of 12 was chosen as the threshold. An estimated 1.1% of solid tumors meet this molecular criteria, excluding glioblastomas, dedifferentiated liposarcomas, and intimal sarcomas where this signature is enriched. Milademetan (RAIN-32), an oral, selective MDM2 inhibitor, inhibits growth of TP53-WT/MDM2-amplified cell lines and patient-derived xenograft models from varying tumor types. Furthermore, tumor regression was observed in 3/3 non-liposarcoma patients with MDM2 copy number > 12 in a phase 1 trial of milademetan. MANTRA-2 (RAIN-3202) is a phase 2, multicenter, single-arm, open-label, basket trial designed to evaluate the efficacy or clinical benefit of milademetan in TP53-WT solid tumors with MDM2 amplification (copy number ≥ 12). Methods: Eligible patients must be ≥ 18 years of age with histologically and/or cytologically confirmed locally advanced, incurable or metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard therapy. Local testing demonstrating TP53 WT and MDM2 amplification is required, defined as a MDM2 copy number ≥ 12 or 6-fold increase. Patients with well-differentiated/de-differentiated liposarcomas, intimal sarcomas, or primary central nervous system tumors are excluded. Prior treatment with an MDM2 inhibitor is not permitted. Patients receive milademetan 260 mg orally once daily on Days 1–3 and 15–17 of a 28-day cycle. Tumor response is evaluated by RECIST v1.1 at Weeks 8, 16, 24, and 32, and then every 12 weeks. Primary endpoint: objective response rate. Secondary endpoints include: duration of response; progression-free survival; growth modulation index; disease control rate; overall survival; safety; health-related quality of life scores. Exploratory endpoints include: biomarkers in blood and/or tumor tissue; pharmacodynamics; pharmacokinetics. Enrollment of 65 patients is planned to ensure that 57 patients have centrally confirmed TP53 WT and MDM2 copy number ≥ 12. The trial opened in November 2021 and is actively enrolling patients. Clinical trial information: NCT05012397.
