Phase 1/2 evaluation of revumenib in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and other solid tumors.

TPS227 Background: Aberrant transcription in cancer can be reversed by targeting critical epigenetic regulators. For example, in acute leukemias driven by increased HOX gene expression, inhibition of the menin-KMT2A interaction by revumenib induced remission in patients with heavily pretreated disease (Issa et al 2023). In solid tumors promoted by the aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, in vitro data and in vivo studies have shown that small molecule inhibition of the menin-KMT2A interaction restricts growth, with potential therapeutic benefit in colorectal cancer (CRC), castration-resistant prostate cancer, estrogen receptor–positive breast cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and Ewing sarcoma. To test the therapeutic strategy of inhibiting the menin-KMT2A interaction in solid tumor malignancies, this study (NCT05731947) will evaluate revumenib in patients with CRC and other solid tumors. Revumenib is an oral, potent, selective inhibitor of the menin-KMT2A interaction. Methods: This phase 1/2 study is evaluating revumenib in adults aged ≥18 years with locally recurrent or metastatic CRC who have failed ≥1 prior line of therapy and in patients with other solid tumors who have failed available standard therapies. Inclusion criteria include diagnosis of microsatellite stable/proficient mismatch repair CRC or other solid tumors. Patients with CRC must be unable to receive or have disease that progressed on oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and bevacizumab; if left-sided RAS wild-type CRC, the patient must have received anti–epidermal growth factor receptor therapy. The primary phase 1 objectives are to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose, and recommended phase 2 dose of revumenib in patients with CRC and other solid tumors and to assess its antitumor effects. The phase 2 primary objective is to assess the antitumor effects of revumenib by blinded radiographic review. Phase 1 consists of all-comers’ dose escalation (phase 1a), and signal-seeking expansion in CRC (phase 1b). Using a rolling 6 design, the revumenib starting dose will be 163 mg 3 times daily in 28-day cycles. Up to 6 patients will be enrolled in a dose cohort. Dose escalation cohorts may be expanded and used for signal seeking in non-CRC tumor types. Phase 1b in CRC will begin when a potential phase 2 dose has been identified. The disease control rate at 6 cycles and overall response rate will be used to assess antitumor activity and will determine initiation of phase 2. In phase 2, patients with advanced CRC will be randomized 2:1 to revumenib or investigator's choice of 1 of 2 standard-of-care therapies. Patients will be followed for progression-free survival, with response assessments evaluated locally and confirmed by blinded radiographic review. As of September 5, 2023, 13 patients were enrolled in phase 1a of this study. Clinical trial information: NCT05731947 .
