Background
RXDX-105 is a small molecule multikinase inhibitor (MKI) with potent activity against targets such as RET and BRAF. RXDX-105 is being developed as an oral therapy for patients with solid tumors, including those that harbor RET or BRAF alterations.
The potential for RET and BRAF inhibition to result in durable cytoreductive responses in lung cancer patients has been demonstrated in phase 2 trials of the multikinase RET inhibitor cabozantinib (Drilon et al., 2015) and the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib (Planchard et al., 2015).
RXDX-105 is a potent RET and BRAF inhibitor with biochemical IC50 values of 0.3 and 0.8 nM against wild type RET and wild type BRAF, respectively. In addition, RXDX-105 potently inhibits RET rearrangements (IC50: 0.3-0.8 nM), RET M918T (IC50: 4 nM) and BRAF V600E (IC50: 54 nM).
RXDX-105 has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in multiple preclinical models of BRAF mutant and RET-rearrangement driven cancers.
Hence, solid tumors with RET or BRAF rearrangements or mutations may respond to treatment with RXDX-105.
Due to the MKI properties of RXDX-105, it may also be active in patients with unselected tumors.
Phase 1 Trial Overview
Patient Population: Patients not selected based upon molecular profile; histological or cytological evidence of advanced solid tumor; any number of prior systemic therapies allowed, including RET or BRAF inhibitors; ECOG performance status 0 or 1
Patients were assigned to escalating doses of RXDX-105 using a standard 3+3 design.
DLTs were evaluated during Cycle 1 and graded according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Safety
RXDX-105 has been generally well-tolerated. All AEs that have occurred to date are reversible with dose reduction or holiday. The safety data are current as of May 3, 2016.
Four DLTs have occurred: G3 maculopapular rash (200 mg), G3 fatigue (275 mg), G3 diarrhea (275 mg Fed) and G3 hyperbilirubinemia (350 mg Fed). All DLTs resolved upon study drug interruption. Two patients resumed treatment at a reduced dose; one patient discontinued treatment due to progression prior to restarting study drug and the patient with hyperbilirubinemia discontinued due to the event.
Two G4 events have occurred (intestinal obstruction and anemia), neither of which were considered drug-related. There have been no G5 treatment-related events.
Three SAEs were considered treatment-related: G2 headache, G3 hyperbilirubinemia and G3 drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome).
The most common treatment-emergent AEs in Phase 1 patients are presented below.

Pharmacokinetics
BSA Normalized Day 15 Linear Plot
Exposures of RXDX-105 administered on a continuous daily dosing regimen increased with increasing dose Lower BSA correlates with increased exposure Fed condition increases exposure 350 mg Fed achieves 18% increase in AUC over 275 mg Fed
Based on the accumulation ratio, the plasma half-life of RXDX-105 is estimated to be in the range of 35-45 hours, compatible with QD dosing Exposure has reached levels expected to be efficacious in RET- and BRAF-driven tumors, based on animal models exhibiting tumor growth inhibition

Phase 1 Patients with an Actionable RET or BRAF Alteration Treated with ³275 mg (Fed)
Phase 1 was an all-comers dose escalation study. Fifty-five patients were treated in the Phase 1 portion of the study; 20 were treated at the clinically relevant doses of 275 mg and 350 mg, Fed condition. Of those, 11 patients had an actionable RET or BRAF alteration. Data as of May 25, 2016, for tumor response and duration of therapy in these patients are displayed below.

BRAF Ovarian Cancer Patient
A PET/CT scan from a 68 year-old female with BRAF V600E serous ovarian cancer demonstrated a 26% reduction in target lesions at C2 and C4 scans. This patient was treated with 350 mg, Fed condition. Prior treatment includes carboplatin/taxol, topotecan, and gemcitabine/carboplatin. The patient continues on study in Cycle 5.
NSCLC Patient Update
As previously reported at ENA (Wang, 2015), one confirmed RECIST PR was noted in a patient treated with 275mg, Fed condition. The patient is a 75 y/o female with metastatic NSCLC. Molecular analysis of her baseline tumor (2007) revealed KRAS G12C mutation. At Cycle 2, the patient had 40% reduction in her target lesion. She continues on study after 10 cycles.
Conclusions
RXDX-105 has been well-tolerated to date in 55 Phase 1 patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Efficacious exposure, based on RET- and BRAF-driven PDX models, has been achieved.
The RP2D has been selected and is being further evaluated in the Phase 1b portion of the study, which is open to enrollment. Early signals of anti-tumor activity have been noted in Phase 1. Unconfirmed PR (38% reduction) observed at Cycle 2 in a medullary thyroid cancer patient with the RET M918T mutation 26% reduction in target lesions observed in an ovarian cancer patient with the BRAF V600E mutation and 28% reduction in target lesions observed in a BRAF D594G
NSCLC patient Confirmed PR (40% reduction) observed in a patient with NSCLC positive for KRAS G12C who continues on treatment after 10 cycles of therapy These preliminary data support further development of RXDX-105 in patients with advanced cancer.
The Phase 1b portion of the study includes baskets for patients with RET- or BRAF-driven tumors as well as baskets for patients with unselected lung cancer.
