Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Patients with advanced/recurrent epithelial ovarian and uterine cancers have limited treatment options beyond platinum chemotherapy. Both tumor types can express programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), providing a potential therapeutic target for these patients. Here we present data from the ovarian and uterine cancer cohorts of the Phase I atezolizumab monotherapy study (PCD4989g). METHODS: This Phase I, multi-center, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation/expansion clinical trial investigated single-agent atezolizumab in cohorts of patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian or uterine cancer. The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single-agent atezolizumab. Anti-tumor activity and preliminary assessment of potential biomarkers were evaluated as secondary and exploratory objectives, respectively. RESULTS: The ovarian and uterine cancer cohorts enrolled 12 and 15 patients, respectively (10 [83%] and 5 [33%], respectively, had PD-L1 ≥ 5% on tumor-infiltrating immune cells). Atezolizumab was generally well tolerated with no new safety signals identified. The safety profiles in both cohorts were consistent with the known profile of atezolizumab monotherapy. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were mostly Grade ≤ 2, with no treatment-related Grade ≥ 4 AEs reported. Preliminary anti-tumor activity, with long durations of response, was observed in 2 patients from each cohort (ovarian cancer, 8.1 and 30.6+ months; uterine cancer, 7.3 and 16.6+ months). High microsatellite instability and tumor mutational burden were noted in the responders from the uterine cancer cohort. CONCLUSIONS: Atezolizumab monotherapy was well tolerated in patients with epithelial ovarian or uterine cancer and may have clinical activity warranting further investigation. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01375842.
