TTI-621 (SIRPαFc) is an immune checkpoint inhibitor consisting of SIRPα linked to an IgG1 Fc domain. It is designed to block the CD47 “do not eat” signal and deliver an activating signal through Fcγ receptors. TTI-621-01 (NCT02663518) is a multi-center, open label, phase 1 clinical trial for relapsed or refractory heme malignancies and select solid tumors. Dose escalation results were previously presented (n=18; ASH 2016). Here we report a comprehensive safety profile of all patients enrolled in the expansion phase of TTI-621-01 and preliminary anti-tumor activity in patients with diffuse large B- cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Study Design and Patients Key Eligibility Criteria: Histologically documented advanced malignancy Hemoglobin >8 g/dL and platelets ≥50,000/mm 3 (transfusions permitted) ECOG ≤2 Measurable disease per IWG-2014 in NHL patients DLBCL: failed prior CD20-based therapy Patients receive weekly IV infusions of TTI-621 starting at 0.2 mg/kg for monotherapy patients and 0.1 mg/kg for patients receiving TTI-621 and rituximab. At the investigator’s discretion, the protocol allows dose intensification in 0.1 mg/kg increments to a maximum of 0.5 mg/kg. Data cut-off: November 6, 2017; n=89. Table 1. Patient Demographics of DLBCL and Expansion Cohort(s) Weekly Infusions of TTI-621 are Well Tolerated Table 2. Adverse Events in Phase 1 Dose Expansion ≥10% of Subjects (n=89) Manageable infusion-related reactions. Attenuated thrombocytopenia after the first dose. Stable hemoglobin levels, consistent with lack of RBC binding by TTI-621. Preliminary experience indicates that patients can be safely dose intensified beyond 0.2 mg/kg. Figure 2. Five of 18 evaluable patients (not including four currently on study) achieved a best response of CR/PR. An additional three patients are not shown (1 dose limiting toxicity in escalation, 2 off study prior to week 8). Arrows indicate patients still on study. Six patients received TTI-621 monotherapy, 14 patients received combination therapy with rituximab and two received monotherapy followed by combination therapy.

Patient received 0.1 mg/kg TTI-621 and rituximab. Pseudoprogression was noted at Week 4 and a complete metabolic response (CMR) was observed at Week 12. The patient remained on study to Week 36. Conclusions CD47 blockade employing weekly intravenous infusions of TTI-621 (SIRPα-IgG1 Fc) is well- tolerated in over 100 patients to date. Multiple patients with heavily pre-treated, relapsed/refractory DLBCL achieved objective responses and/or prolonged progression-free intervals.
