11522 Background: SHP2 is an oncogenic tyrosine phosphatase that transduces receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in the RAS/MAPK pathway via phosphatase-mediated regulation of guanine nucleotide exchange factors. SHP2 signaling has recently been identified as a genetic dependency for chordoma, a rare tumor type with no approved therapies (1), and preclinical studies with SHP2 inhibitors have demonstrated activity in chordoma models. Methods: As part of the FLAGSHP-1 study, patients (pts) with advanced or metastatic chordoma were enrolled in either the monotherapy or cetuximab combination cohort to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary clinical activity of ERAS-601. Chordoma pts previously treated with an EGFR inhibitor were allowed to enroll. Results: As of 31 Oct 2023, a total of 11 pts with previously treated advanced or metastatic chordoma received ERAS-601. Two pts received ERAS-601 as monotherapy: one at 40 mg BID (continuous) and the other at 80 mg TIW (three times a week). An additional 9 pts received the combination of ERAS-601 (40 mg BID 3 weeks on and 1 week off every 28 days [3/1]) in combination with cetuximab (500 mg/m2 Q2W). The treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurring in >20% of pts (Grade [Gr] 1-2 unless noted) were: dermatitis acneiform (2 pts-Gr 3), paronychia, dry skin, skin fissures, skin infection (1 pt-Gr. 3), diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, peripheral oedema, fatigue, thrombocytopenia, and AST elevation. No patients discontinued therapy due to TEAEs related to ERAS-601. Out of the 9 pts receiving the combination of ERAS-601 and cetuximab, by RECIST 1.1 there was 1 PR and 8 pts with a best response of SD. Of the 8 pts who had a best response of SD, 7 had some tumor shrinkage. The median time on combination treatment was 5.06 months, with 8 out of 9 pts remaining on the study. Conclusions: The most common toxicities observed for the ERAS-601 + cetuximab combination were dermatologic, which were reversible. Encouraging preliminary activity was seen in advanced, refractory chordoma. 1. Sharifina et al., 2023, Nat. Commun. Clinical trial information: NCT04670679 .
