UNLABELLED: We sought to evaluate the efficacy of WEE1 inhibitor adavosertib in patients with solid tumor malignancies (cohort A) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC; cohort B). NCT03284385 was a parallel cohort, Simon two-stage, phase II study of adavosertib (300 mg QDAY by mouth on days 1-5 and 8-12 of each 21-day cycle) in patients with solid tumor malignancies harboring a pathogenic SETD2 mutation. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate. Correlative assays evaluated the loss of H3K36me3 by IHC, a downstream consequence of SETD2 loss, in archival tumor tissue. Eighteen patients were enrolled (9/cohort). The median age was 60 years (range 45-74). The median duration of treatment was 1.28 months (range 0-24+). No objective responses were observed in either cohort; accrual was halted following stage 1. Minor tumor regressions were observed in 4/18 (22%) evaluable patients. Stable disease (SD) was the best overall response in 10/18 (56%) patients, including three patients with SD > 4 months. One patient with ccRCC remains on treatment for >24 months. The most common adverse events of any grade were nausea (59%), anemia (41%), diarrhea (41%), and neutropenia (41%). Nine patients (50%) experienced a Grade ≥3 adverse event. Of eight evaluable archival tissue samples, six (75%) had a loss of H3K36me3 by IHC. Adavosertib failed to exhibit objective responses in SETD2-altered ccRCC and other solid tumor malignancies although prolonged SD was observed in a subset of patients. Combination approaches may yield greater depth of tumor response. SIGNIFICANCE: WEE1 inhibition with adavosertib monotherapy demonstrated limited clinical activity in patients with SETD2-altered solid tumors despite compelling preclinical data indicating a synthetic lethal effect, which did not translate into robust tumor regression. Loss of the H3K36me3 trimethylation mark caused by SETD2-deficiency was confirmed in the majority of evaluable tumors. A subset of patients derived clinical benefit as manifested by minor tumor regressions and prolonged SD.
