Conclusions Margetuximab is an Fc-engineered anti-HER2 antibody that mediates enhanced innate responses and leads to increased HER2-specific adaptive immune responses in patients with HER2+ gastric and breast carcinoma Margetuximab can upregulate the expression of PD-1 on NK and NKT cells, and anti-PD-1 antibody (MGA012) can further potentiate the enhancement of NK cell function by margetuximab in vitro The combination of margetuximab + pembrolizumab (M+P), as a chemotherapy-free regimen, demonstrated acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with HER2 GEA that have progressed/recurred after prior 1L therapy including trastuzumab The combination of M+P has demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in patients with 2 nd line HER2-positive, PD-L1 unselected GEA after treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy ORR that exceed historical experience with either margetuximab or checkpoint inhibitor alone ORR further increased in gastric cancer patients whose tumors are HER2 IHC 3+ (33%) ORR most pronounced in gastric cancer patients whose tumors are both HER2 IHC3+ and PD-L1+ (52%) Maturing data from this ongoing study suggest that the combination of margetuximab + checkpoint prolonged PFS, and in particular, overall survival* compared to historical experience with checkpoint inhibitor alone, or existing standard of care Exploratory biomarker studies suggest potential associations between ERBB2 and PD-L1 expression in tumor microenvironment (TME), baseline NK infiltration at baseline in the TME, and pre-existing HER2 specific T-cell immunity with objective response to M+P, as well as evidence of enhancement on HER2 specific T-cell immunity with M+P Based on these observations, the combination of margetuximab + a checkpoint inhibitor could provide a potential chemotherapy-free regimen for the treatment of GEA and/or be used with chemotherapy to improve the clinical activity of existing 1L SoC A Phase 2/3 study (MAHOGANY) is being initiated to evaluate margetuximab in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor with or without chemotherapy in 1L GEA *Margetuximab plus Pembrolizumab for Treatment of Patients with HER2-Positive Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (GEA) Post-Trastuzumab: Survival Analysis, Abstract Number: 2812.

Abstract #2794

Presented at the 2019 Annual Congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology, September 27–October 1, 2019, Barcelona, Spain [email protected]

Background■■ Trastuzumab + chemotherapy is standard treatment in 1st line advanced HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA); however patients tend to progress in 6–8 months■■ Up to 40% show loss of HER2 expression post trastuzumab, likely underlying the lack of efficacy of anti-HER2 agents in 2nd line therapy ■■ Margetuximab is an investigational next generation anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody with an engineered Fc domain that confers enhanced Fc-dependent antitumor activities across all FcγRIIIA (CD16A) genotypes■■ Margetuximab has demonstrated single agent antitumor activity in patients with HER2+ GEA in a Phase 1 study■■ We report herein a clinical update and biomarker analysis of an ongoing study in patients receiving margetuximab plus pembrolizumab, a chemotherapy-free treatment, in HER2+ GEA patients in 2nd line post trastuzumab

A: Left panel bars show the mean (n=40 patients) pre-treatment (C1D1, Pre) and the mean (n=33 patients) post-treatment (C4D1, Post) frequency of antigen-specific T cells frequencies (per million PBMC plated) that recognize vaccine antigens, HER2 ICD protein, HER2 ECD fragment (aa 22-122), HER2 p59 class II peptide, HER2 p88 class II peptide, HER2 p422 class II peptide and a pan class II binding cyclin D1 peptide. Right panel shows the mean pre-treatment (Pre) and highest post-vaccination frequency of CEA and tetanus toxoid (TT)-specific T cells for the same patients. Inset lines trace the pre and post responses for each unique patient for which there was a pre and post treatment value. p values (shown in the upper portion of the figure) were calculated using the Wilcoxon matched pairs ranked sum test for paired samples only (n=31). B: Paired pre- (C1D1) and post-treatment (C4D1) PBMC samples, obtained from 31 patients with HER2+ cancer, were subjected to IFN-γ ELISpot assays with different HER2 antigens. T cell responses were defined as positive if the number of antigen-specific T cells per million PBMC in the post-treatment sample increased by ≥ 2-fold compared to the pre-treatment baseline sample. C: Pre-treatment (C1D1, Pre) (n=40 patients) frequency of antigen-specific T cells frequencies (per million PBMC plated) that HER2 p59 class II peptide. Left panel shows the mean pre-treatment (Pre) in relations to M+P treatment outcome. Right panel shows the mean pre-treatment (Pre) in relation to tumor location.

Conclusions■■ Margetuximab is an Fc-engineered anti-HER2 antibody that mediates enhanced innate responses and leads to increased HER2-specific adaptive immune responses in patients with HER2+ gastric and breast carcinoma■■ Margetuximab can upregulate the expression of PD-1 on NK and NKT cells, and anti-PD-1 antibody (MGA012) can further potentiate the enhancement of NK cell function by margetuximab in vitro■■ The combination of margetuximab + pembrolizumab (M+P), as a chemotherapy-free regimen, demonstrated acceptable safety and tolerability in patients with HER2 GEA that have progressed/recurred after prior 1L therapy including trastuzumab■■ The combination of M+P has demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in patients with 2nd line HER2-positive, PD-L1 unselected GEA after treatment with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy

– ORR that exceed historical experience with either margetuximab or checkpoint inhibitor alone – ORR further increased in gastric cancer patients whose tumors are HER2 IHC 3+ (33%) – ORR most pronounced in gastric cancer patients whose tumors are both HER2 IHC3+ and PD-L1+ (52%)

■■ Maturing data from this ongoing study suggest that the combination of margetuximab + checkpoint prolonged PFS, and in particular, overall survival* compared to historical experience with checkpoint inhibitor alone, or existing standard of care ■■ Exploratory biomarker studies suggest potential associations between ERBB2 and PD-L1 expression in tumor microenvironment (TME), baseline NK infiltration at baseline in the TME, and pre-existing HER2 specific T-cell immunity with objective response to M+P, as well as evidence of enhancement on HER2 specific T-cell immunity with M+P■■ Based on these observations, the combination of margetuximab + a checkpoint inhibitor could provide a potential chemotherapy-free regimen for the treatment of GEA and/or be used with chemotherapy to improve the clinical activity of existing 1L SoC■■ A Phase 2/3 study (MAHOGANY) is being initiated to evaluate margetuximab in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor with or without chemotherapy in 1L GEA
