Abstract

e14587 Background: PSMA, a transmembrane protein highly expressed on the surface of prostate cancer cells, is a validated target in prostate cancer; however, achieving a favorable therapeutic index has been challenging for PSMA-directed T-cell engagers (TCE’s). AMG 340, a PSMA-targeted TCE with a novel low-affinity CD3 binding domain specifically engineered to mitigate cytokine release syndrome (CRS) toxicity and maintain efficacy was investigated in a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study (NCT04740034). Methods: Patients (pts) with mCRPC who had received ≥2 prior lines of therapy were treated with AMG 340 monotherapy (1.5–800 mg intravenously every 3 weeks [Q3W]) during dose escalation. The primary outcome measures were dose-limiting toxicities, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and pharmacokinetic profile. Secondary outcomes included prostate antigen specific (PSA) response and objective response per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST). Results: As of September 6, 2023, a total of 42 pts (mean ± SD age, 68.5±7.8 years) received AMG 340 step up dosing across 11 cohorts. At doses up to 800 mg Q3W, AMG 340 had a manageable side effect profile. Any grade TEAEs reported in ≥30% of pts included CRS (52%), nausea (52%), vomiting (52%), fatigue (48%), diarrhea (38%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (36%), increased alanine aminotransferase (33%), and hypocalcemia (31%). Treatment-related toxicities included CRS (52%; Grade 1, 26%; Grade 2, 24%;…
