The combination of FAP-IL2v plus atezolizumab with or without bevacizumab was consistent with the known safety profile of the individual drugs. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached, with a recommended FAP-IL2v dose of 10 mg. ORR was higher among patients receiving the triplet therapy compared with the doublet. Pharmacodynamic results were consistent with the mechanism of action of IL-2, supporting further research in this field.
The safety profile of FAP-IL2v in combination with pembrolizumab was manageable and consistent with the known safety profile. However, further exploration of FAP-IL2v and pembrolizumab was precluded in melanoma patients with prior CPI due to the lack of clinical activity.
The safety profile of FAP-IL2v in combination with cetuximab was acceptable and pharmacodynamic markers support the proposed mode-of-action of this combination, but the overall low antitumor activity does not warrant further clinical exploration in HNSCC. [Part C of Study BP29842 (NCT02627274).].
