SARC015: Phase II study of R1507 in
wild-type GIST
Margaret von Mehren, Fox Chase Cancer Center
Katie Janeway, Dana Farber Cancer Institute
Background
• 10% of GISTs in adults and 85% of GISTs in
pediatric patients are wild-type (WT)
• TKIs in WT GIST
Imatinib
Sunitinib
Objective RR
Median TTP
Clinical benefit rate
Median PFS
KIT 11
72%
25 months
34%
5 months
• TKIs in pediatric GIST
– No objective responses to imatinib
– 1 PR to sunitinib

Background: IGF1R in GIST
Background: IGF1R in GIST
• IGF1R expression in pediatric WT GIST

Background: R1507
• Pediatric phase I
– At 9mg/kg weekly dose similar
pharmacokinetics and exposure
– No DLTs yet reported
– Similar AEs
Schema
Adult and Pediatric cohorts
Pediatric: Age at diagnosis ≤ 18 years
Adult: Age at diagnosis > 18 years
Baseline tumor assessment:
CT or MRI of all disease sites
PET (optional) as clinically indicated
R1507 IV 9 mg/kg weekly
Evaluate by CT/MRI:
q 9 weeks x 27 weeks
then q 12 weeks
SD or Response
Continue R1507 IV at 9
mg/kg weekly
Off treatment criteria:
PD
intercurrent illness that prevents
treatment
unacceptable adverse events
patient withdraws
unacceptable for further
treatment in the judgment of
investigator
Off treatment
Off treatment evaluations
• Primary:
Objectives
– Clinical benefit rate (SD>6 mos., PR or CR) in patients
with advanced WT GIST treated with R1507
• Secondary:
– Response duration, TTP and PFS
– Tolerability and adverse event profile
• Exploratory
– Serum and tumor biomarkers
– BMI, glucose, lipid metabolism and linear growth
(pediatric only)
– PET scans when obtained for clinical care

•
Advanced, unresectable GIST
KIT and PDGFRA mutation analysis: WT
Age > 2 years
Performance status
Adequate organ function
Diabetic patients must have good glucose control
No prior therapy targeting IGF1R
Off TKI therapy x 7 days
Co-existence of paraganglioma and pulmonary
chondroma is permitted
Overview
• Cohorts
– Pediatric: Age at diagnosis ≤18.
– Adult: Age at diagnosis >18.
• R1507 administration
– 9 mg/kg IV weekly
– Duration: Until progression, intercurrent
illness, unacceptable adverse event, delays
• Concurrent therapy
– No TKI therapy
– If response, surgery permitted after 6 months
Overview
• Response evaluation
– CT/MRI q 9 weeks x 27 weeks then q 12
weeks
– WHO criteria for the primary outcome
– CHOI criteria as a secondary objective
• Biological correlates
– Blood, paraffin embedded specimens, and
when possible, fresh frozen tumor to be
obtained
Adverse event monitoring
• Chemistries, glucose, liver function tests,
blood counts weekly
• HbA1c start of study, off study
• Human anti-human antibodies (HAHA)
weeks 1, 4, 12, 18
Timeline
• Protocol completed
– November 15, 2008
