• Trials exploring the combination of BI 1701963 with irreversibleKRAS G12C inhibitors (MRTX849 and BI 1823911) will includecohorts of patients with previously treated KRAS G12C mutantNSCLC and CRC and are anticipated to begin in 2021.
• NCT04627142 is a phase I dose escalation trial of BI 1701963 incombination with irinotecan patients aged ≥18 years with previouslytreated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer(CRC) harbouring KRAS mutations. 95 patients will be enrolled in thetrial which runs in China only.
• Primary endpoints include dose-limiting toxicities and objectiveresponse rate. Secondary endpoints include pharmacokinetic andpharmacodynamic properties of monotherapy and combinationregimens, treatment-related adverse events and preliminary efficacy.
• Key inclusion criteria include activating KRAS mutation, age ≥18years, ≥1 evaluable lesion (RECIST v1.1), ECOG PS ≤1 andadequate organ function. Key exclusion criteria include previoustherapy with RAS-, MAPK- or SOS1-targeting treatments, history ofretinal vein occlusion or retinopathy and decreased cardiac function.
• As of March 10, 2021, 28 patients have been treated in theBI 1701963 monotherapy arm, 16 patients have been treated in theBI 1701963 + trametinib combination arm in dose escalation (Part A).

• Our preclinical results support the positioning of SOS1::pan-KRAS inhibitors as a backbone combination partner fortargeting KRAS-dependent tumors.
• SOS1::pan-KRASi + MEKi combinations leads to tumor stasisor regressions in KRAS mutant models.
• SOS1::pan-KRAS inhibitors sensitize KRAS G12C mutanttumors to covalent KRAS G12C inhibitors that bind toKRAS(OFF).
• SOS1::pan-KRAS inhibitors sensitizes KRAS mutant cancercells to the effects of irinotecan.
• Phase I clinical trial with BI 1701963 in monotherapy andcombination with MEK inhibitors (NCT04111458),KRAS G12C inhibitors or irinotecan (NCT04627142) areeither ongoing or will be started in 2021.
Key Findings and Conclusions
Introduction (1) Phase I Clinical Trials: SOS1i + MEKi (3) Phase I Clinical Trials: SOS1i + Irinotecan
• BI 1701963 is the first SOS1::pan-KRASsignaling modifier to enter phase I clinicaltrials both as a monotherapy as well as incombination.
• Here, we present pre-clinical data showingenhanced pathway modulation andsynergistic anti-tumor effects followingvertical pathway inhibition of BI 1701963 incombination with:
(1) Mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors (trametinib and BI 3011441)
(2) KRAS G12C inhibitors (MRTX849 and BI 1823911)
Results: SOS1::KRASi BI 1701963
(1) Pre-Clinical Results: SOS1i + MEKi
#CT210
• Pre-clinical combination data supported the start of multiple phase Itrials investigating the safety, tolerability, recommended dose andpreliminary efficacy of BI 1701963 alone and in combination with otheranti-cancer agents.
• NCT04111458 is a first-in-human dose escalation and expansion trialof BI 1701963 alone and in combination with trametinib in patientsaged ≥18 years with previously treated solid tumours harbouringKRAS mutations. Approximately 140 patients will be included in thetrial. Parts B and C will only include patients with advanced non-smallcell lung cancer (NSCLC).
BI-3406 and BI1701963 are SOS1::pan-KRAS inhibitors exhibitingactivity against a broad spectrum of KRAS alleles, including the majorG12D/V/C and G13D oncoproteins, while sparing the interaction ofKRAS with SOS2.
