The P204 Study in Gynecologic Cancers
The P204 study is a Phase 2 basket study evaluating DKN-01 as a monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced gynecologic malignancies, including EEC, epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and carcinosarcoma. Data being presented at the
Key Findings from the P204 Study
Twenty-nine EEC patients were enrolled in the DKN-01 monotherapy group, over 75% of whom had experienced three or more prior lines of therapy. Of those patients, 26 were evaluable for response. Three important biomarker-selected subgroups were the focus of the data presentation:
- Patients with Wnt Signaling Alterations: In the group of 20 patients with a Wnt signaling alteration, one patient (5%) has an ongoing complete response, one patient (5%) had a partial response (PR), eight patients (40%) had a best response of stable disease (SD), and 10 patients (50%) had progressive disease (PD), representing an ORR of 10% and a ODCR of 50%. In the group of six patients without any Wnt signaling alterations, one patient (16.7%) had a best response of SD and five patients (83.3%) had PD. The patients with a Wnt signaling alteration experienced PFS of 1.9 months and OS of 15.1 months, compared to the patients without a Wnt signaling alteration who experienced PFS of 1.8 months and OS of 8.4 months.
- Patients with Wnt Activating Mutations: The nine patients with a Wnt activating mutation experienced PFS of 5.5 months and had not reached a median OS, compared to the 20 patients without a Wnt activating mutation who experienced PFS of 1.8 months and OS of 12.2 months.
- Patients expressing high tumor levels of
DKK1 : TumoralDKK1 expression data was available for 19 EEC patients treated with DKN-01 monotherapy. In the group of seven patients withDKK1 -high tumors, one patient (14.3%) had a PR, three patients (42.9%) had SD, and 3 patients (42.9%) had PD, representing an ORR of 14.3% and a ODCR of 57.1%. In the group of 12 patients withDKK1 -low tumors, one patient (8.3%) had SD and 11 patients (91.7%) had PD. TheDKK1 -high patients experienced PFS of 3.0 months, compared to theDKK1 -low patients who experienced PFS of 1.8 months.
