SUMMARY
This presentation reported translational pharmacodynamic biomarker findings from a first-in-human, dose-escalation study of BGB-24714, an investigational, selective second mitochondrial-derived activator of caspases (SMAC) mimetic, in patients with solid tumors. In the monotherapy dose-escalation cohorts, cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP1) levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were evaluated to assess target engagement, along with caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (ccCK18) and circulating cytokines and chemokines profiles to measure apoptosis and inflammatory signaling, respectively. BGB-24714 demonstrated rapid, sustained, and dose-dependent cIAP1 degradation, achieving ~50.0% degradation by Day 2 at 60 mg and near-complete degradation by Day 2 at doses ≥200 mg. Furthermore, dose-dependent increases in ccCK18 and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines at Day 15 were noted at doses ≥200 mg, indicating apoptosis induction and NF-κB pathway activation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The objective was to characterize pharmacodynamic biomarkers reflecting target engagement and downstream pathway modulation of BGB-24714, an investigational, selective second mitochondrial-derived activator of caspases (SMAC) mimetic, in patients with solid tumors.
Pharmacodynamic biomarkers were developed and validated in preclinical models prior to clinical application. Evaluation was conducted in monotherapy dose-escalation cohorts; blood samples were collected pre-dose (baseline) and at serial post-dose timepoints. Cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP1) levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was quantified to assess target engagement. Caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (ccCK18) was measured as a circulating marker of apoptosis, and cytokine and chemokine profiles were analyzed to evaluate activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling.
