Clovis Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLVS) today announced an oral presentation detailing initial Phase 1 data from the Clovis Oncology-sponsored Phase 1/2 LuMIERE clinical study (NCT04939610) investigating the safety, pharmacokinetics, dosimetry, and preliminary antitumor activity of its targeted radiotherapy candidate, FAP-2286 labelled with lutetium-177 (177Lu-FAP-2286). Overall, in nine patients treated in the first two dose cohorts,177Lu-FAP-2286 demonstrated a manageable safety profile and encouraging evidence of activity, including a confirmed RECIST partial response in one patient. In addition, updated data from an investigator-initiated Phase 1 study of FAP-2286 labelled with gallium-68 (68Ga-FAP-2286) as a novel imaging agent to identify metastatic cancer in patients with solid tumors are also being presented today (NCT04621435). These datasets will be presented in oral presentations by Jonathan McConathy, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor and Director of the Division of Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Radiology in the Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine, and Brad Kline, Clinical Research Coordinator at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), respectively, at the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting 2022 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

FAP-2286 targets fibroblast activation protein (FAP), a promising theranostic target with expression across many tumor types. FAP-2286 is the first peptide-targeted radionuclide therapy (PTRT) and imaging agent targeting FAP to enter clinical development and is the lead candidate in Clovis Oncology’s targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) development program. The Phase 1 portion of the LuMIERE study is evaluating the safety of the investigational therapeutic agent 177Lu-FAP-2286 to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose and schedule. The safety and tumor uptake of the imaging agent 68Ga-FAP-2286 is also being evaluated, with plans for Phase 2 expansion cohorts in multiple tumor types to initiate in Q4 2022.

“These initial results demonstrate that FAP is a promising theranostic target with expression across many types of solid tumors,” said Jonathan McConathy, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor and Director of the Division of Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Radiology in the Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine. “These LuMIERE data from the first two dose cohorts demonstrated a manageable safety profile, with some preliminary evidence of activity, both of which are encouraging as we seek to better understand the potential of FAP-2286 as a treatment and imaging agent across a wide range of malignancies.”

Initial results from the Phase 1 portion of the ongoing Phase 1/2 LuMIERE study found treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) to be generally mild to moderate among the nine patients in the safety population receiving 3.7 or 5.55 GBq/dose of the investigational therapeutic agent 177Lu-FAP-2286. Three patients (33.3%) had a Grade ≥3 TEAE of back pain (11.1%), abdominal distension (11.1%), increased bilirubin (11.1%) and hyponatremia (11.1%); none were judged as related to 177Lu-FAP-2286. There was one serious adverse event (SAE) of back pain not related to 177Lu-FAP-2286. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in the 3.7 or 5.55 GBq cohorts (n=3 evaluable in each cohort).

At the two dose levels evaluated to date, organ dosimetry revealed target organ exposure within the expected range to support administration of multiple doses. There was tumor uptake across a range of tumor types with prolonged tumor retention of 177Lu-FAP-2286 after dosing.

A confirmed RECIST partial response was reported in one heavily pre-treated patient in the 3.7 GBq dose cohort with pseudomyxoma peritonei of appendiceal origin who completed six administrations of 177Lu-FAP-2286. A decrease in the level of the serum tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was also observed in the patient over the course of 177Lu-FAP-2286 administration.

Recruitment for the third dose cohort (7.4 GBq) is ongoing.

“This first presentation of data from the Phase 1/2 LuMIERE study supports the hypothesis that FAP-2286 gets to the tumor, stays in the tumor, and avoids off-target tissue, and these initial Phase 1 data further support the potential clinical utility of FAP-2286 as a targeted radionuclide therapy to treat a variety of advanced solid tumors,” said Patrick J. Mahaffy, President and CEO of Clovis Oncology. “We look forward to presenting additional clinical data from the LuMIERE study at another nuclear medical meeting and initiating Phase 2 expansion cohorts in multiple tumor types later in 2022.”

Presentation of the initial LuMIERE Phase 1 data, titled “177Lu-FAP-2286 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors: Initial Data From a Phase 1/2 Study Investigating Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Dosimetry, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity (LuMIERE)” (Abstract #2271), is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14 at 11:00 am PT, as part of the Basic Oncology: Early Phase Human Studies I session from 10:00 – 11:30 am PT.

Presentation of the investigator-initiated imaging study, titled “First-in-human evaluation of 68Ga-FAP-2286, a fibroblast activation protein targeted radioligand” (Abstract #2279), evaluating the ability of imaging agent 68Ga-FAP-2286 to detect metastatic cancer in patients with solid tumors, is scheduled for Tuesday, June 14 at 1:50 pm PT, as part of the Basic Oncology: Early Phase Human Studies II session from 1:00 – 2:30 pm PT.

These presentations can also be viewed at https://clovisoncology.com/pipeline/scientific-presentations/ following their presentations on June 14.

About the LuMIERE Clinical Study

LuMIERE is a Phase 1/2 study evaluating FAP-2286 as a peptide-targeted radionuclide therapy (PTRT) targeting fibroblast activation protein, or FAP, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The Phase 1 portion of the LuMIERE study is evaluating the safety of the investigational therapeutic agent and will identify the recommended Phase 2 dose and schedule of lutetium-177 labeled FAP-2286 (177Lu-FAP-2286). FAP-2286 labeled with gallium-68 (68Ga-FAP-2286) will be utilized as an investigational imaging agent to identify patients with FAP-positive tumors appropriate for treatment with the therapeutic agent. Once the Phase 2 dose is determined, Phase 2 expansion cohorts are planned in multiple tumor types.

About FAP-2286

FAP-2286 is a clinical candidate under investigation as a peptide-targeted radionuclide therapy (PTRT) and imaging agent targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP). FAP-2286 consists of two functional elements; a targeting peptide that binds to FAP and a site that can be used to attach radioactive isotopes for imaging and therapeutic use. High FAP expression has been shown in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, cancer of unknown primary, salivary gland, mesothelioma, colon, bladder, sarcoma, squamous non–small cell lung, and squamous head and neck cancers. High FAP expression was detected in both primary and metastatic tumor samples and was independent of tumor stage or grade. Clovis holds US and global rights for FAP-2286 excluding Europe, Russia, Turkey, and Israel.

FAP-2286 is an unlicensed medical product.

About Targeted Radionuclide Therapy

Targeted radionuclide therapy is an emerging class of cancer therapeutics, which seeks to deliver radiation directly to the tumor while minimizing delivery of radiation to normal tissue. Targeted radionuclides are created by linking radioactive isotopes, also known as radionuclides, to targeting molecules (e.g., peptides, antibodies, small molecules) that can bind specifically to tumor cells or other cells in the tumor environment. Based on the radioactive isotope selected, the resulting agent can be used to image and/or treat certain types of cancer. Agents that can be adapted for both therapeutic and imaging use are known as “theranostics.” Clovis, together with licensing partner 3B Pharmaceuticals, is developing a pipeline of novel, targeted radiotherapies for cancer treatment and imaging, including its lead candidate, FAP-2286, an investigational peptide-targeted radionuclide therapeutic (PTRT) and imaging agent, as well as three additional discovery-stage compounds.
