Real-world ANASTASE study of atezolizumab+nab-paclitaxel as first-line treatment of PD-L1-positive metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: The combination of atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel is recommended in the EU as first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), based on the results of phase III IMpassion130 trial. However, 'real-world' data on this combination are limited. The ANASTASE study (NCT05609903) collected data on atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel in PD-L1-positive mTNBC patients enrolled in the Italian Compassionate Use Program. A retrospective analysis was conducted in 29 Italian oncology centers among patients who completed at least one cycle of treatment. Data from 52 patients were gathered. Among them, 21.1% presented de novo stage IV; 78.8% previously received (neo)adjuvant treatment; 55.8% patients had only one site of metastasis; median number of treatment cycles was five (IQR: 3-8); objective response rate was 42.3% (95% CI: 28.9-55.7%). The median time-to-treatment discontinuation was 5 months (95% CI: 2.8-7.1); clinical benefit at 12 months was 45.8%. The median duration of response was 12.7 months (95% CI: 4.1-21.4). At a median follow-up of 20 months, the median progression-free survival was 6.3 months (95% CI: 3.9-8.7) and the median time to next treatment or death was 8.1 months (95% CI: 5.5-10.7). At 12 months and 24 months, the overall survival rates were 66.3% and 49.1%, respectively. The most common immune-related adverse events included rash (23.1%), hepatitis (11.5%), thyroiditis (11.5%) and pneumonia (9.6%). Within the ANASTASE study, patients with PD-L1-positive mTNBC treated with first-line atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel achieved PFS and ORR similar to those reported in the IMpassion130 study, with no unexpected adverse events.

Project description:BackgroundThere are no randomized control trials (RCTs) comparing gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (Gem-Nab) and fluorouracil, folinic acid, irinotecan, oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) for advanced pancreatic cancer (APC). Although it is well known that RCT-based efficacy often does not translate to real-world effectiveness, there is limited literature investigating comparative cost-effectiveness of Gem-Nab vs FOLFIRINOX for APC. We aimed to examine the real-world cost-effectiveness of Gem-Nab vs FOLFIRINOX for APC in Ontario, Canada.MethodsThis study compared patients treated with first-line Gem-Nab or FOLFIRINOX for APC in Ontario from April 2015 to March 2019. Patients were linked to administrative databases. Using propensity scores and a stabilizing weights method, an inverse probability of treatment weighted cohort was developed. Mean survival and total costs were calculated over a 5-year time horizon, adjusted for censoring, and discounted at 1.5%. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and net monetary benefit were computed to estimate cost-effectiveness from the public health-care payer's perspective. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using the propensity score matching method.ResultsA total of 1988 patients were identified (Gem-Nab: n = 928; FOLFIRINOX: n = 1060). Mean survival was lower for patients in the Gem-Nab than the FOLFIRINOX group (0.98 vs 1.26 life-years; incremental effectiveness = -0.28 life-years [95% confidence interval = -0.47 to -0.13]). Patients in the Gem-Nab group incurred greater mean 5-year total costs (Gem-Nab: $103 884; FOLFIRINOX: $101 518). Key cost contributors include ambulatory cancer care, acute inpatient hospitalization, and systemic therapy drug acquisition. Gem-Nab was dominated by FOLFIRINOX, as it was less effective and more costly. Results from the sensitivity analysis were similar.ConclusionsGem-Nab is likely more costly and less effective than FOLFIRINOX and therefore not considered cost-effective at commonly accepted willingness-to-pay thresholds.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade therapy has clearly shown clinical activity in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, but less than half of the patients benefit from the treatments. While a number of ongoing clinical trials are investigating different combinations of checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapeutic agents, predictive biomarkers that identify patients most likely to benefit remains one of the major challenges. Here we present a modular quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) platform for immuno-oncology that incorporates detailed mechanisms of immune-cancer cell interactions to make efficacy predictions and identify predictive biomarkers for treatments using atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel. A QSP model was developed based on published data of triple-negative breast cancer. With the model, we generated a virtual patient cohort to conduct in silico virtual clinical trials and make retrospective analyses of the pivotal IMpassion130 trial that led to the accelerated approval of atezolizumab and nab-paclitaxel for patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive triple-negative breast cancer. Available data from clinical trials were used for model calibration and validation. With the calibrated virtual patient cohort based on clinical data from the placebo comparator arm of the IMpassion130 trial, we made efficacy predictions and identified potential predictive biomarkers for the experimental arm of the trial using the proposed QSP model. The model predictions are consistent with clinically reported efficacy endpoints and correlated immune biomarkers. We further performed a series of virtual clinical trials to compare different doses and schedules of the two drugs for simulated therapeutic optimization. This study provides a QSP platform, which can be used to generate virtual patient cohorts and conduct virtual clinical trials. Our findings demonstrate its potential for making efficacy predictions for immunotherapies and chemotherapies, identifying predictive biomarkers, and guiding future clinical trial designs.

Project description:ImportanceThe humanized monoclonal antibody atezolizumab targets programmed death-ligand 1 and has demonstrated durable single-agent activity in a subset of metastatic triple-negative breast cancers. To extend the observed activity, combinatorial approaches are being tested with standard cytotoxic chemotherapies known to induce immunogenic tumor cell death.ObjectiveTo examine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel in metastatic triple-negative breast cancers.Design, setting, and participantsThis phase 1b multicohort study enrolled 33 women with stage IV or locally recurrent triple-negative breast cancers and 0 to 2 lines of prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting from December 8, 2014, to April 30, 2017, at 11 sites in the United States. The median follow-up was 24.4 months (95% CI, 22.1-28.8 months).InterventionsPatients received concurrent intravenous atezolizumab and intravenous nab-paclitaxel (minimum 4 cycles).Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end point was safety and tolerability. Secondary end points included best overall response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1; objective response rate; duration of response; disease control rate; progression-free survival; overall survival; and biomarker analyses.ResultsThe 33 women had a median age of 55 years (range, 32-84 years) and received 1 or more doses of atezolizumab. All patients (100%) experienced at least 1 treatment-related adverse event, 24 patients (73%) experienced grade 3/4 adverse events, and 7 patients (21%) had grade 3/4 adverse events of special interest. No deaths were related to study treatment. The objective response rate was 39.4% (95% CI, 22.9%-57.9%), and the median duration of response was 9.1 months (95% CI, 2.0-20.9 months). The disease control rate was 51.5% (95% CI, 33.5%-69.2%). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 5.5 months (95% CI, 5.1-7.7 months) and 14.7 months (95% CI, 10.1-not estimable), respectively. Concurrent nab-paclitaxel neither significantly changed biomarkers of the tumor immune microenvironment (programmed death-ligand 1, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, CD8) nor impaired atezolizumab systemic immune activation (expansion of proliferating CD8+ T cells, increase of CXCL10 chemokine).Conclusions and relevanceIn this phase 1b trial for metastatic triple-negative breast cancers, the combination of atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel had a manageable safety profile. Antitumor responses were observed, including in patients previously treated with a taxane.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01633970.
