A phase I first in human, open-label, multicenter study of BI3706674, KRAS multi-inhibitor, monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors bearing KRAS WT amp.
Abstract
380 Background: KRAS amplifications (amp) occur in ~2% of solid tumors, representing a high unmet need for effective targeted therapies. BI3706674 binds to GDP-bound KRAS and locks KRAS protein in an inactive form. In preclinical models, BI3706674 has shown potent inhibition of KRAS-amp tumors. Methods: This is a Phase Ia/b trial (NCT06056024) to explore the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and efficacy of BI 3706674 in patients (pts) with unresectable or metastatic KRAS wild type amp or KRAS G12V mutated (mut) solid tumors. The trial aimed to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Pts (ECOG 0 -1) received BI 3706674 daily per os at 50 - 1200 mg doses. Dose escalation (DE) was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model. This report focuses on KRAS wt amp pts from Phase Ia (DE). Results: As of 31 July 2025, 46 pts had received BI 3706674. Pts (n=15/46) with KRAS wt amp tumors had upper gastrointestinal tract (uGI) cancer [n=9: gastric (GAC;n=5), oesophageal (EAC; n=2), gastroesophageal junction (GEJC; n=2) cancers], Cholangiocarcinoma (n=1), colorectal (CRC; n=4), and ovarian (OC; n=1) cancers. Pts were treated at 200 mg (n=2), 400 mg (n=1), 800 mg (n=5), 1200 mg (n=7) doses; males: n=11; ECOG 1: n=10; median age - 62 years (range 38–83); median number of prior treatment lines was 3 (range 1-6). AEs were reported in 15 pts (100%), including 12 pts (80%) with treatment-related AEs (TRAE). High-grade AEs (Grade 3-5) were reported in 10 pts (66.7%), including 4 pts (26.7%) with TRAEs. SAEs were reported in 7 pts (46.7%), including 2 pts (13.3%) with TRAEs. The most-frequent AEs were mostly low-grade (Grade 1-2) diarrhoea (10 pts, 66.7%), nausea (10 pts, 66.7%), and vomiting (9 pts, 60.0%), often reported as TRAE. Two dose limiting toxicities were observed in 1200 mg group: nausea (Grade 3) and vomiting (Grade 3). MTD was not reached. BI 3706674 PK parameters followed the predicted non-linear PK model; dose dependent systemic exposure reached plateau at 800 mg. 12/15 pts with KRAS wt amp tumors, including 10/12 pts in 800 – 1200 mg groups, were efficacy evaluable; Disease control rate (DCR) was 58.3% (7/12 pts): 3/ 12 pts with partial response (PR), 4/12 had stable disease (SD), 5/12 pts - disease progression (PD). In 800 – 1200 mg groups 1 - OC, 2 – CRC pts achieved SD. PK/PD/efficacy correlation data is pending. Conclusions: BI 3706674 showed a tolerable safety profile and clinical efficacy in pts with KRAS amp tumors. Study results provide clinical proof of concept. KRAS wt amp is a druggable target and KRAS-targeting treatment is active in KRAS wt amp uGI cancer pts. Clinical trial information: NCT06056024 . Anticancer activity of BI 3706674 in efficacy evaluable pts with KRAS wt amp tumors. All pts, 200 – 1200 mg, N=12 Pts with uGI cancers,800 – 1200mg, N=7 ORR, n (%) 3* (25%) 3* (43%) SD, n (%) 4 (33.3%) 1 (14%) DCR, n (%) 7 (58.3%) 4 (57%) PD, n (%) 5 (41.7%) 3 (43%) *Tumor shrinkage: -60.3%, -34% and 34.3%.
