Trial ID # NCT04625270
Phase II
Drug Class Signaling Pathway Inhibitors: Integrins-FAK/FAK
Drug Name Defactinib
Alternate Drug Names VS-6063, PF-04554878
Drugs in Trial Avutometinib, Defactinib
Eligible Participant

Recurrent low grade serous ovarian cancer

Patients Enrolled

62 patients; Avu: 33, median 3 prior therapies (1-10); Avu+Def: 31, median 4 prior therapies (1-11)

Therapy Setting

Recurrence

Study Design

Open-Label, Randomized

Endpoints

ORR, DCR, evaluated per RECIST

Efficacy

Results from PART A:
Avu+Def (n=31) vs Avu (n=33):

ORR: 45 (13PR, n=29) vs 10% (1CR, 2PR, n=30)
DCR: 93 (13PR, 13SD) vs 90% (1CR, 2PR, 25SD)

KRAS MUT: Avu+Def (n=15) vs Avu (n=15):
ORR: 60 (9PR) vs 13% (1CR, 1PR)
DCR: 100 (9PR, 6SD) vs 93% (1CR, 2PR, 11SD)

KRAS WT: Avu+Def (n=14) vs Avu (n=16):
ORR: 29 (4PR) vs 6% (1PR)
DCR: 79 (4PR, 7SD) vs 88% (1PR, 13SD)

Clinically Significant Adverse Events

Serious AE:
Grade 3-4 AE: elevated CPK (19 vs 23%)

Conclusion

The combination of avutometinib with defactinib yields encouraging response rates with a well tolerated safety profile in women with heavily pretreated recurrent LGSOC regardless of KRAS status
