e19055 Background: IRAK4 is a signaling modulator of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and members of the IL-1R family. TLR/IL-1R activity is frequently dysregulated in NHL, including DLBCL and Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). CA-4948, an oral inhibitor of IRAK4, has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in preclinical models. Methods: Dose finding cohorts (3+3 design) will test QD or BID dosing schedule in pts with R/R NHL. Dose expansion will occur in 2 cohorts of R/R NHL with or without MYD88 mutation at the RP2D or MTD. Key eligibility criteria: age ≥ 18 years, ECOG ≤1, and adequate organ function. Objectives: safety, MTD and RP2D (primary); PK and anti-tumor activity (secondary); exploratory biomarkers and PD effects. Plasma cytokine levels are being evaluated post ex-vivo TLR stimulation in whole blood. Results: 13 pts have been treated (6 at 50 mg QD; 3 at 100 mg QD; 4 at 50 mg BID). Tumor types included DLBCL (7), FL (5), WM (1). The most frequent treatment-emergent AEs (≥10% of pts) were fatigue (23%), conjunctivitis, constipation, neutrophil count decrease, white blood cell count decrease (each 15%). One pt treated at 100 mg QD experienced Gr 3 rash which resolved following oral steroid treatment; dose reduction to 50 mg QD was tolerated without flare up. One SAE of disease progression occurred. 9 pts completed the DLT evaluation period thru Cycle 2 including 2 ongoing in Cycle 4 and 6. Preliminary PK showed that CA-4948 is rapidly absorbed with maximum plasma concentration observed 1.0 to 4.0 hrs post administration. T1/2 in plasma was about 6 hrs. Minimal to no accumulation was observed following multiple doses. Plasma exposures were dose proportional. Preliminary PD data showed, similar to murine studies, on target reduction of NF-kB-associated factors such as IL-6 post-treatment from pts with complete sample sets (N = 8). Conclusions: Current dose/schedule is well tolerated with preliminary PK and PD effects at the initial dose level. MTD has not been reached. Clinical trial information: NCT03328078.
