106 kDa
DR5, death receptor 5; sdAb, single-domainantibody.
Figure 2. INBRX-109Mechanism of Action
INBRX-109is based on a single- domain antibody (sdAb) platform
- It consists of 2 identical camelid heavy-chain-only antigen-bindingdomains targeting DR5
- Chondrosarcomas form in the bone cartilage and usually start in the pelvis, scapula, ribs, or the ends of long bones2
The conventional subtype of chondrosarcoma represents 85% to 90% of cases and is typically treated with surgical resection1
However, treatment for unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma is limited, and prognosis remains poor3
- Unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma is generally resistant to chemotherapy and radiation, and standard molecular targeted agents are not available3
- Median progression-freesurvival (PFS) in patients receiving ineffective agents or placebo has historically been <4 months4
Several agents for unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma have been evaluated, but most have been ineffective, and no systemic therapies have been approved5-9
INBRX-109Mechanism of Action
INBRX-109is a third-generation,tetravalent, agonistic antibody that targets human death receptor 5 (DR5), 1 of 2 proapoptotic receptors for the trimeric tumor necrosis factor-relatedapoptosis- inducing ligand (TRAIL) (Figures 1 and 2)
- TRAIL selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal tissues and therefore plays an important role in tumor and viral immune surveillance10
- Targeting DR5 may hold great promise in chondrosarcoma, as suggested by the clinical activity previously observed with dulanermin (recombinant TRAIL)11

OBJECTIVE

  • INBRX-109is currently in clinical development in an ongoing phase 1 dose-escalation study (NCT03715933) with dedicated single-agent expansion cohorts in chondrosarcoma, nonconventional chondrosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, malignant pleural mesothelioma, gastric adenocarcinoma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma as well as chemotherapy combination cohorts in malignant pleural mesothelioma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and Ewing sarcoma
  • In an early assessment of the phase 1 study (October 1, 2021), INBRX-109 demonstrated clinical activity with a manageable safety profile in 20 patients with chondrosarcoma13
    • The disease control rate (complete response + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]) was 89% (16/18); 2 patients (11%) achieved a PR and 14 patients (78%) had SD
    • Notably, 11 of the 18 patients (61%) had a reduction in the sum of target lesions as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1; 6 patients (33%) had a decrease of ≥10%
    • Median PFS among patients with chondrosarcoma was 7.4 months (historical PFS, <4 months)4
    • Among all 116 patients treated with INBRX-109 in the phase 1 study, any-grade hepatotoxicity was observed in 13 patients (11%); grade ≥3 liver-related adverse events occurred in 5.2% of patients
  • Updated results as of May 26, 2022 confirmed these results and indicated activity in conventional chondrosarcoma (see CTOS 2022 presentation P043 for updated information)
  • Given the early clinical activity observed in the phase 1 study and the unmet need in conventional chondrosarcoma, a phase 2 study (ChonDRAgon; NCT04950075) of INBRX-109 in unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma has been initiated

Endpoints

Primary Endpoint

  • PFS per RECIST 1.1 assessed by central real-time IRR in the ITT population
    • PFS is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first

Secondary Endpoints

  • Overall survival in the ITT population
  • PFS per RECIST 1.1 by investigator assessment
  • Overall response rate, duration of response, and disease control rate per RECIST 1.1 by real-time IRR
  • QOL (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30)
    - QOL will also be measured using the EQ-5D-5L,PGI-C, and PGI-S questionnaires (exploratory endpoint)
  • Safety (treatment-emergent adverse events, including serious adverse events, graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0)
  • Immunogenicity of INBRX-109
  • Pharmacokinetic characterization

IRR, independent radiology review; ITT, intent-to-treat; PFS, progression-free survival; PGI-C, Patient Global Impression of Change; PGI-S, Patient Global Impression of Severity; QOL, quality of life; RECIST, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.

DR5: sdAb

DR5: sdAb

Fc: effector function disabled

    • These domains are joined end to end with an effector-silenced Fc constant domain based on human immunoglobulin G1
  • By way of our sdAb platform, INBRX-109 eliminates recognition by preexisting antidrug antibodies (ADAs), lessening the potential for hyperclustering
    • Previous tetravalent DR5 agonists failed in the clinic due to hepatotoxicity, likely due to hyperclustering
      by ADAs12

METHODS

  • ChonDRAgon is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled phase 2 study of INBRX-109 in patients with unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcoma (Figure 3)
  • Eligible patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive either INBRX-109 at a dose of 3 mg/kg every 3 weeks (Q3W; n=134) or placebo (n=67)
    • Patients will be stratified by grade, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 [IDH1/IDH2] mutation status, and line of therapy
  • Treatment with INBRX-109 or placebo will continue until disease progression, death, or study withdrawal for other reasons
  • Patients in the placebo arm who experience documented disease progression verified by central real-time independent radiology review (IRR) will have their treatment assignment unblinded and will be able to cross over to open-labelINBRX-109
    • Patients will receive INBRX-109 until subsequent disease progression; tumor assessments will not be submitted for central IRR
    • Assessments for the crossover population will be analyzed separately
  • The primary efficacy endpoint is PFS assessed by real-time IRR, using RECIST 1.1
    • PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first

INBRX-109: tetravalent DR5 agonist

INBRX-109 is a tetravalent, agonistic antibody against DR5, a proapoptotic receptor widely

expressed on tumor cells

The tetravalent format of INBRX-109 was selected as an optimal balance of DR5 agonism on

tumor vs normal cells, enabling robust cancer-biased cell death while avoiding hyperclustering

and concomitant hepatotoxicity observed with previous multivalent DR5 candidates
