Background: Afami-cel is an autologous, T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapy to treat human leukocyte antigen (HLA) A*02–eligible patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors positive for the cancer testis antigen melanoma-associated antigen A4 (MAGE-A4). The efficacy and safety of afami-cel in pretreated pts with advanced/metastatic synovial sarcoma or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma are being evaluated in the Phase 2, two-cohort, open-label, SPEARHEAD-1 (NCT04044768) trial. Here we report interim overall survival (OS) data in the pts with advanced synovial sarcoma in Cohort 1. Methods: Pts who were HLA-A*02 positive with advanced synovial sarcoma (with evidence of clinical/radiological progression) positive for MAGE-A4 received afami-cel after lymphodepleting chemotherapy containing fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. The primary endpoint was overall response rate per RECIST v1.1 by independent review. Secondary endpoints included OS and progression-free survival (PFS), estimated utilizing the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: As of August 29, 2022, 44 pts with synovial sarcoma received afami-cel (2.68–9.99×109 transduced T-cells) in Cohort 1. The median age was 41 years (range: 19–73 years), 50% of pts were female, 89% of pts were white, 96% of pts were typed as HLA-A*02:01P, and median tumor MAGE-A4 expression H-score was 257 (132–300). Pts were heavily pre-treated with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy (range: 1–12). The median follow-up time at the data cut-off was 20.8 months. Median PFS was 3.8 months (95% CI: 2.8, 5.8) and 4.1 months (95% CI: 2.8, 6.9) by independent and investigator review, respectively. Median OS by independent review was 15.4 months (95% CI: 10.9, not estimable) with 52% of pts censored at the data cut-off. The 12-month OS probability was 60% and 24-month OS probability was 40%. Twenty-one pts received additional therapy during long term follow up (systemic therapy, n = 20; radiation, n = 6; other, n = 4). In the 17 pts who had a RECIST response by independent review, the median OS was not reached, the 12-month OS probability was 90%, and 24-month OS probability was 60%. Conclusions: Pts with advanced synovial sarcoma treated with afami-cel in SPEARHEAD-1 had encouraging survival, especially those pts with a RECIST response. Clinical trial information: NCT04044768.
