“These promising initial data suggest that the addition of eganelisib to atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel has the potential to provide improved patient outcomes in front-line triple negative breast cancer,” said
Key presentation highlights:
Poster presentation titled, “MARIO-3 phase II study initial data evaluating a novel triplet combination of eganelisib (IPI-549), atezolizumab (atezo), and nab-paclitaxel (nab-pac) as first-line (1L) therapy for locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)” presented by
- 100% of evaluable patients (n=13) demonstrated tumor reduction
- 69.2% (9/13) overall response rate (ORR) with best responses of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)
- 100% (5/5) ORR (CR + PR) with 1 CR and 4 PRs observed in PD-L1 positive patients
- 50% (4/8) ORR (CR + PR) with 4 PRs observed in PD-L1 negative patients
- Translational data are supportive of eganelisib’s immune modulation mechanism with treatment associated with decreased M2 macrophages and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and increased T cell reinvigoration as measured in peripheral blood.
- The novel triple combination treatment with eganelisib, atezolizumab (atezo) and nab-paclitaxel (nab-pac) demonstrated safety in line with expectations of the component drugs with no additive or new safety signals. The most common ≥ Grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events were decreased neutrophil count (21.4 percent), diarrhea (14.3 percent), and rash (14.3 percent). Only one patient (7.1 percent) experienced ≥ Grade 3 ALT/AST increase, and this patient had a Grade 3 elevation.

About Infinity and Eganelisib
Infinity is an innovative biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing novel medicines for people with cancer. Infinity is advancing eganelisib, a first-in-class, oral immuno-oncology development candidate that selectively inhibits PI3K-gamma, in multiple clinical studies. MARIO-275 is a global, randomized, controlled combination study of eganelisib combined with Opdivo® in I/O naïve urothelial cancer. MARIO-3 is the first eganelisib combination study in front-line advanced cancer patients and is evaluating eganelisib in combination with Tecentriq and Abraxane in front-line TNBC and in combination with Tecentriq and Avastin® in front-line RCC. In collaboration with Arcus Biosciences, Infinity is evaluating a checkpoint inhibitor-free, novel combination regimen of eganelisib plus etrumadenant (AB928, a dual adenosine receptor antagonist) plus Doxil® in advanced TNBC patients. In 2019, Infinity completed enrollment in MARIO-1, a Phase 1/1b study evaluating eganelisib as a monotherapy and in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors including patients refractory to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. With these studies Infinity is evaluating eganelisib in the anti-PD-1 refractory, I/O-naïve, and front-line settings.
