Trial Design • Primary endpoint - Disease control rate (DCR) • Complete response, partial response, or stable disease (after two cycles) • Secondary endpoints • Objective response rate, progression free survival, overall survival • Correlation between DCR and MMR and PTEN expression • Simon’s two stage optimal design • P0 = 10%, P1 = 25%, a=10%, b=10% (Power = 90%) • Stage I = 21 patients (3/21 = 14% respond, then proceed to Stage II) • Stage II = 29 additional patients (50 total) • If DCR ≥ 8/50 = 16% Further study justified Georgetown Lombardi

Correlative Studies • Good Tissue Acquisition • 45/49 archived surgical specimens evaluable • 7/9 fresh serial tumor evaluable • Pre-treatment and Day 8 • Fixed AND frozen samples • Mismatch repair protein expression • Increased DCR in dMMR tumors • PTEN expression • Increased DCR in PTEN-deficient tumors Georgetown Lombardi
Correlative Studies - MMR • Assessed MMR status by IHC on paraffin samples • MLH-1, MSH-2, PMS-2, and MSH-6 • 35 of 49 samples assessed to date • No MMR defects detected in any of the patients • Can not assess for any association between MMR status and DCR Georgetown Lombardi Lindor, et al, JCO, 20: 1043-1048, 2002.

Correlative Studies - DNA Repair Expression Panel • RNA from tumor samples • Mini-DNA array • 90 DNA repair genes • Pre-treatment vs. Day 8 • Expand analysis • Predictive markers • Responsive signature • Resistance markers Georgetown Lombardi
Conclusions • ABT-888 plus TMZ is a well tolerated oral combination • There is evidence of anti-cancer activity in refractory colon cancer patients: • Partial response • Prolonged stable disease • Anti-cancer activity even in MMR-proficient patients • Correlative studies for predictive subgroups are pending • Good tissue acquisition rate Georgetown Lombardi
Study Expansion 20 Patient – dMMR Cohort Pre-clinically selected Predictive marker Primary Cohort (50 Patients) Enrollment completed 20 Patient – High dose TMZ Cohort Increased TMZ dose Greater DNA damage Mandatory “Fresh” pre-tx biopsies • Evaluate efficacy in MMR-deficient subgroup • Identify predictive markers of response • Aim to initiate phase II trial in selected subgroups Georgetown Lombardi
