Time frame: From Baseline up to 48 months

Duration of response (DOR)

The efficacy profiles of Cobimetinib plus Niraparib and Cobimetinib plus Niraparib plus Atezolizumab will be evaluated in terms of DOR, defined for patients achieving at least one confirmed Partial Response (PR), which is measured from the first observation of a Complete Response (CR) or a PR to the time of disease progression in the ITT population and in the molecularly defined subgroups by LOH status.

Time frame: From baseline up to 48 months

Overall survival (OS)

The efficacy profiles of Cobimetinib plus Niraparib and Cobimetinib plus Niraparib plus Atezolizumab will be evaluated in terms of OS after randomization, defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause in the ITT population and in the molecularly defined subgroups by LOH status.

Time frame: From baseline up to 48 months

Plasma concentration of cobimetinib and niraparib

The Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of cobimetinib plus niraparib is evaluated in terms of Plasma concentration at specified timepoints.

Time frame: Arm A: Day 15 of Cycle 1 and 2 - Arm B: Day 15 of Cycle 1

Serum concentration of atezolizumab

The PK profile of cobimetinib plus niraparib plus atezolizumab will be evaluated in terms of Serum concentration of atezolizumab at specified timepoints (Arm B only).

Time frame: Day 1 of Cycle 1, 2 and 3 and at treatment discontinuation visit, up to 48 months

Number of patients with Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA)

The immunogenicity profile of Atezolizumab is evaluated in terms of number of patients with ADA at baseline and during the study.

Primary results and characterization of patients with exceptional outcomes in a phase 1b study combining PARP and MEK inhibition, with or without anti–PD‐L1, for BRCA wild‐type, platinum‐sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer

AbstractBackgroundThis phase 1b study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03695380) evaluated regimens combining PARP and MEK inhibition, with or without PD‐L1 inhibition, for BRCA wild‐type, platinum‐sensitive, recurrent ovarian cancer (PSROC).MethodsPatients with PSROC who had received one or two prior treatment lines were treated with 28‐day cycles of cobimetinib 60 mg daily (days 1–21) plus niraparib 200 mg daily (days 1–28) with or without atezolizumab 840 mg (days 1 and 15). Stage 1 assessed safety before expansion to stage 2, which randomized patients who had BRCA wild‐type PSROC to receive either doublet or triplet therapy, stratified by genome‐wide loss of heterozygosity status (&lt;16% vs. ≥16%; FoundationOne CDx assay) and platinum‐free interval (≥6 to &lt;12 vs. ≥12 months). Coprimary end points were safety and the investigator‐determined objective response rate (ORR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Potential associations between genetic parameters and efficacy were explored, and biomarker profiles of super‐responders (complete response or those with progression‐free survival [PFS] &gt;15 months) and progressors (disease progression as the best response) were characterized.ResultsThe ORR in patients who had BRCA wild‐type PSROC was 35% (95% confidence interval, 20%–53%) with the doublet regimen (n = 37) and 27% (95% confidence interval, 14%–44%) with the triplet regimen (n = 37), and the median PFS was 6.0 and 7.4 months, respectively. Post‐hoc analyses indicated more favorable ORR and PFS in the homologous recombination‐deficiency‐signature (HRDsig)‐positive subgroup than in the HRDsig‐negative subgroup. Tolerability was consistent with the known profiles of individual agents. NF1 and MKNK1 mutations were associated with sustained benefit from the doublet and triplet regimens, respectively.ConclusionsChemotherapy‐free doublet and triplet therapy demonstrated encouraging activity, including among patients who had BRCA wild‐type, HRDsig‐positive or HRDsig‐negative PSROC harboring NF1 or MKNK1 mutations.
