  1. A Phase II study of ABT-888 + temozolomidein patients with heavily pretreated, metastatic colorectal cancer M. J. Pishvaian*, R. Slack*, A. Witkiewicz+, A. R. He*, J. J. Hwang*, A. Hankin*, K.

  2. Financial Disclosures • This clinical trial is funded by the • Otto J. Ruesch Center for the Cure of GI Cancers, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. • Abbott Inc. has provided research funding for a portion of the correlative science • I have no personal financial disclosures Georgetown Lombardi

  3. Mechanisms of DNA Repair: PARP (Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase) Environmental factors (UV, radiation, chemicals) Chemotherapy (e.g. alkylating agents) Normal physiology (DNA replication, ROS) Radiotherapy PNK 1 XRCC1 pol β LigIII PARP DNA DAMAGE • PARP • Critical DNA repair enzyme (SSB, BER) • Often overexpressed in cancer cells • Confers resistance to chemotherapy and radiation • Inhibition of PARP • Prevents recruitment of DNA repair enzymes • Leads to failure of single strand break repair • Unrepaired break site  replication fork arrest • Leads to degeneration into double-strand breaks • Ultimately  chromosomal catastrophe cell death Cell Death Georgetown Lombardi Tutt, A, et al, JCO 27:18s, 2009 (suppl; abstr CRA501) Helleday T, et al. Nat Rev Cancer. 2008;8:193-204

  4. Background • ABT-888 • Oral PARP-1, 2 inhibitor • Proven PARP inhibition in vitro, and in vivo • Potentiates activity of multiple chemotherapies in • pre-clinical models including temozolomide • Temozolomide (TMZ) • Oral potent atypical alkylating agent • Ongoing trials in combination with ABT-888 Donawho, CK, et al, Clin Cancer Res 2007;13(9) May1, 2007 Palma, JP, et al, Clin Cancer Res 2009;15(23):7277–90 Kummar, S, et al, JCO. 2009 Jun 1;27(16):2705-11 Delaney, CA, et al, Clin Cancer Res, 6: 2860-2867, 2000 Raymond, E, et al, Clin Cancer Res, 3: 1769-1774, 1997.

  5. PARP is a Promising Target in CRC DMSO TMZ ABT-888 TMZ + ABT-888 TMZ + ABT-888 • Overexpression of PARP in CRC • leads to chemotherapy resistance • ABT-888 + temozolomide  cell death • Many CRCs may be exquisitely sensitive to PARP inhibitor-based therapy • 5-7% with mismatch repair gene defects (dMMR) • Up to 40% PTEN deficient • (defect in homologous recombination) 100000 *** 75000 50000 Cell Number *** 25000 0 SW480 HCT116 Loupakis F, et al, JCO 27:2622-9, 2009 McCabe N, et al, Can Res 66:8109-15, 2006 Liu, X., et al, Mol Cancer Res, 7: 1686-1692, 2009 Horton, TM, et al, Mol Cancer Ther, 8: 2232-2242, 2009 Georgetown Lombardi

  6. Metastatic CRC Measurable or evaluable disease Adequate hepatic, bone marrow, and renal function Age ≥ 18 years ECOG performance status 0-2 Progression on or ineligible for all standard therapies: Fluoropyrimidine Oxaliplatin Irinotecan Bevacizumab Cetuximab/Panitumumab Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria • Inclusion Criteria • Exclusion Criteria • Untreated CNS metastases • Active severe infection • Active cardiovascular disease • Women who were pregnant or breastfeeding • Anticipated patient survival under 3 months Georgetown Lombardi

  7. Trial Design- Single Arm, Phase II 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 III III III III III II II TMZ - 150mg/m2 QD ABT-888 - 40 mg BID 4 week cycles 4 week cycles ABT-888 ABT-888 A T A T TMZ TMZ 16 12 Weeks on study Restaging studies every 8 weeks Days of the week Georgetown Lombardi

  8. Trial Design • Primary endpoint - Disease control rate (DCR) • Complete response, partial response, or stable disease (after two cycles) • Secondary endpoints • Objective response rate, progression free survival, overall survival • Correlation between DCR and MMR and PTEN expression • Simon’s two stage optimal design • P0 = 10%, P1 = 25%, a=10%, b=10% (Power = 90%) • Stage I = 21 patients (3/21 = 14% respond, then proceed to Stage II) • Stage II = 29 additional patients (50 total) • If DCR ≥ 8/50 = 16%  Further study justified Georgetown Lombardi

  9. Results - Patients • 09/09 to 06/11, 49 patients enrolled • 51% KRAS mutant • Median Age – 55 years • Range 36 to 72 • 29 Male, 21 Female • Median ECOG PS – 1 • 0 n=15 • 1 n=32 • 2 n=2 • Median number of prior • chemotherapy regimens - 3.5 • Range 2 to 7 Prior Therapies 100 90 80 70 60 Percent of Patients 50 40 30 20 10 0 Other Irinotecan Oxaliplatin Bevacizumab Fluoropyrimidine Cetux/Panitumumab Georgetown Lombardi

  10. Adverse Events • Only 1 patient withdrew due to toxicity - pancytopenia Georgetown Lombardi

  11. Evidence of Anti-Cancer Activity 100 80 60 Percent Surviving 40 20 0 0 5 10 15 20 Months • As of 06-01-2011 - ITT analysis of 49 patients • Disease Control • 11 (2 confirmed PRs) • DCR = 22% • Median Duration of Disease Control • 22 weeks • Range 15 – 40 weeks • Median overall survival • 6.3 months Georgetown Lombardi

  13. Patient 26 – 69 year old female April, 2010 34% reduction 34 wks on study August, 2010 Georgetown Lombardi

  14. Correlative Studies • Good Tissue Acquisition • 45/49 archived surgical specimens evaluable • 7/9 fresh serial tumor evaluable • Pre-treatment and Day 8 • Fixed AND frozen samples • Mismatch repair protein expression • Increased DCR in dMMR tumors • PTEN expression • Increased DCR in PTEN-deficient tumors Georgetown Lombardi

  15. Correlative Studies - MMR • Assessed MMR status by IHC on paraffin samples • MLH-1, MSH-2, PMS-2, and MSH-6 • 35 of 49 samples assessed to date • No MMR defects detected in any of the patients • Can not assess for any association between MMR status and DCR Georgetown Lombardi Lindor, et al, JCO, 20: 1043-1048, 2002. Wright, CL, et al, Am J Surg Pathol 2003;27:1393–1406

  17. Correlative Studies PTEN MMR MGMT Methylation Investigational Markers DNA Repair SNPs Serum microRNA DNA Repair Expression Panel ? Pre-clinically Supported Markers No Apparent Correlation ? ? dMMR Patients Needed Results Pending Patient Tumor Samples Georgetown Lombardi

  18. Correlative Studies - DNA Repair Expression Panel • RNA from tumor samples • Mini-DNA array • 90 DNA repair genes • Pre-treatment vs. Day 8 • Expand analysis • Predictive markers • Responsive signature • Resistance markers Georgetown Lombardi

  19. Conclusions • ABT-888 plus TMZ is a well tolerated oral combination • There is evidence of anti-cancer activity in refractory colon cancer patients: • Partial response • Prolonged stable disease • Anti-cancer activity even in MMR-proficient patients • Correlative studies for predictive subgroups are pending • Good tissue acquisition rate Georgetown Lombardi

  20. Study Expansion 20 Patient – dMMR Cohort Pre-clinically selected Predictive marker Primary Cohort (50 Patients) Enrollment completed 20 Patient – High dose TMZ Cohort Increased TMZ dose Greater DNA damage Mandatory “Fresh” pre-tx biopsies • Evaluate efficacy in MMR-deficient subgroup • Identify predictive markers of response • Aim to initiate phase II trial in selected subgroups Georgetown Lombardi
