Background:
IBI351 is an irreversible and covalent inhibitor of KRAS G12C. Despite FDA approval of two KRAS G12C inhibitors, there are still significant unmet clinical needs in Chinese patients and ongoing concerns about the optimal dosage. Herein, we presented the phase Ia/Ib study of IBI351 monotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS G12C mutation.
Methods:
In phase Ia dose escalation, IBI351 at 250/450/700/900 mg once daily and 450/600/750 mg twice daily (BID) were evaluated. Potentially efficacious doses and optimal recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) were further evaluated in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in phase Ia dose expansion and phase Ib. Safety, pharmacokinetics, and investigator-assessed tumor response were evaluated.
Results:
As of June 13, 2023, 176 patients were enrolled. IBI351 was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicity reported across all evaluated doses. The RP2D was determined as 600 mg BID by considering safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics. A total of 168 patients (95.5 %) had at least one treatment-related adverse event (TRAE), and 64 patients (36.4 %) had grade 3 or higher TRAEs, most commonly gamma-glutamyl transferase increased (10.2 %) and anemia (6.8 %). For patients with NSCLC, the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 45.5 % across all doses. At 600 mg BID, the confirmed ORR was 46.8 % and median progression-free survival was 9.6 months with a median follow-up of 6.9 months.
Conclusions:
IBI351 was well tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors and showed promising antitumor activity in advanced NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutation.
Insights
IBI351, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, demonstrated good tolerability and promising antitumor activity in Chinese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The recommended phase 2 dose of 600 mg twice daily was established.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pharmacology
- Clinical Trials
Background:
- IBI351 is an irreversible KRAS G12C inhibitor targeting a specific mutation in advanced solid tumors.
- Existing KRAS G12C inhibitors present unmet needs for Chinese patients, necessitating optimal dosage evaluation.
- This study focuses on the phase Ia/Ib evaluation of IBI351 monotherapy in a Chinese patient population.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of IBI351 in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors.
- To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for IBI351 monotherapy.
- To assess the antitumor activity of IBI351 in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Main Methods:
- Phase Ia dose escalation identified safe and potentially effective doses of IBI351 (250-900 mg QD, 450-750 mg BID).
- Phase Ia dose expansion and Phase Ib cohorts further evaluated the RP2D in advanced NSCLC patients.
- Safety, pharmacokinetics, and tumor response were assessed by investigators.
Main Results:
- IBI351 was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities observed across all tested doses.
- The RP2D was determined to be 600 mg BID, balancing safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics.
- In NSCLC patients, the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 45.5% overall and 46.8% at 600 mg BID, with a median progression-free survival of 9.6 months.
Conclusions:
- IBI351 demonstrated favorable tolerability in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors.
- IBI351 exhibited promising antitumor activity, particularly in advanced NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutations.
- The study supports further investigation of IBI351 in this patient population.
