A first-in-human phase 1a/b trial of LY3484356, an oral selective estrogen receptor (ER) degrader (SERD)

in ER+ advanced breast cancer (aBC) and endometrial endometrioid cancer (EEC): Results

from the EMBER study

RP2D

RP2D

• No DLTs were observed, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached.

• TEAEs were mainly grades 1 or 2. Most common TRAEs were nausea (19 [29%]), diarrhea (11 [17%]), and

fatigue (8 [12%]).

• G3 TEAEs occurred in 6 (9%) patients, which were treatment related in 2 (3%) patients (diarrhea [n=1] and

decreased neutrophil count [n=1]).

• SAEs occurred in 3 (5%) patients, only 1 of which was treatment related.

• Dose reductions due to AE occurred in 2 (3%) patients, 1 of which was treatment related.

• No patient discontinued due to an AE. Mean relative dose intensity was 98%.

• LY3484356 was well tolerated and had a favorable safety profile with PK exposure supporting QD dosing. No cardiac safety signal (bradycardia/QTc prolongation).

• LY3484356 400 mg QD was selected as the RP2D for future studies.

• LY3484356 showed anti-tumor activity (CBR, ≥48%) in patients with advanced/ metastatic ER+, HER2- BC and ER+ EEC, who were heavily pre-treated with available standard of care treatments, with: Durable objective activity in fulvestrant-refractory disease. Clinical benefit observed irrespective of ESR1 mutation status. 79% (31/39) of patients with SD/PR continuing with ongoing treatment.

• Further trials of LY3484356 are ongoing/planned: A phase 1b dose expansion of LY3484356 (as monotherapy and in combination

with everolimus, abemaciclib, alpelisib, or trastuzumab) (EMBER; NCT04188548).

A phase 1, open-label, preoperative window study evaluating the biological effects of LY3484356 in post-menopausal women with stage I-III ER+, HER2-breast cancer (EMBER-2; NCT04647487).

A randomized, open-label, phase 3 study of LY3484356 vs investigator’s choice of endocrine therapy, in patients with ER+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with endocrine therapy (EMBER-3).

BACKGROUND

• The estrogen receptor (ER) is the key therapeutic target for ER+/HER2-breast cancer.

• Novel degraders of ER may overcome endocrine therapy resistance while providing consistent oral pharmacology and convenience of administration.1-3

• ER is also expressed in ~80% of endometrioid endometrial cancers (EEC) and endocrine therapy (ET) may be effective in patients with ER+ EEC.4-5

• LY3484356 is a novel, orally bioavailable SERD with pure antagonistic properties, which result in sustained inhibition of ER-dependent gene transcription and cell growth.6

• Preclinically, LY3484356 monotherapy shows favorable efficacy and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, including activity in ESR1 mutant models.6

• T1/2 was 25-30 hours.

• Dose proportional increases in LY3484356 exposures were observed across all evaluated doses.

• Steady state LY3484356 plasma concentrations in patients exceeded the EC80 range achieved in preclinical BC xenograft studies and the steady state fulvestrant Cmax.7

• EMBER (NCT04188548) is a global first-in-human phase 1a/b, open-label study. Phase 1a evaluated the dose-escalation of oral LY3484356 monotherapy.

– Primary objective was to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of LY3484356.

– Secondary objectives were to assess safety, PK, and anti-tumor activity of LY3484356.

• Dose-escalation followed an i3+3 design with 5 dose levels (200 mg –1200 mg) evaluated.

– LY3484356 was administered orally, once daily, in 28-day cycles.

– 3-4 patients were evaluated in each cohort for dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during cycle 1 (28 days).

– Cohorts could then backfill up to a total of 20 patients per dose level (n=100 maximum).

• Key Inclusion criteria:

– ER+/HER2- aBC

Up to 3 prior regimens in the advanced/metastatic setting were allowed.

– ER+ EEC

Patients must have progressed after prior platinum-based therapy or be deemed unsuitable or declined platinum-based therapy.

Patients must not have received prior fulvestrant or aromatase inhibitor therapy.

• Antitumor activity was assessed per RECIST v1.1 by:

– Objective response rate, ORR:

Defined as confirmed complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]).

Evaluable patients had measurable disease and at least 1 post-baseline tumor assessment or discontinued prior.

– Clinical benefit rate, CBR:

Defined as CR or PR, or SD ≥24 weeks.

Evaluable patients were enrolled ≥24 weeks prior to data cut.

• Serial plasma samples were obtained for PK and ctDNA (Guardant360, Guardant Health), and available tumor tissue was collected for central ER & HER2 testing (by IHC).

• Data cut off date for this analysis was April 7, 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

• Median duration of treatment was 60 days (range 7-449). 35 patients remain on treatment.

STUDY DESIGN

METHODS

• Objective responses were seen with longer durations of treatment (both PRs occurred after 24 weeks of therapy).

• Both patients with PRs had received at least 3 prior regimens for metastatic disease.

• In patients with available serial ctDNA data (n=21), 86% (18/21) had early declines in overall ctDNA (as measured by change in allele frequencies of all somatic mutations reported at C2D1 compared to baseline).

• The degree of this decline was generally deeper in patients who experienced clinical benefit versus those who did not.
