A phase II study of retifanlimab, a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, in patients with solid tumors (POD1UM-203).

ABSTRACT:

Background

POD1UM-203, an open-label, multicenter, phase II study, evaluated retifanlimab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) in patients with selected solid tumors where immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies have previously shown efficacy.

Patients and methods

Eligible patients (≥18 years) had measurable disease and included unresectable or metastatic melanoma, treatment-naive metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (tumor proportion score ≥50%), cisplatin-ineligible locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) with PD-L1 expression (combined positive score ≥10%), or treatment-naive locally advanced/metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Retifanlimab 500 mg was administered intravenously every 4 weeks as a 30-min infusion. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed overall response rate.

Results

Overall, 121 patients (35 melanoma, 23 NSCLC, 29 UC, 34 RCC) were enrolled and treated. The overall response rate [95% confidence interval (CI)] was 40.0% (23.9-57.9) in the melanoma cohort, 34.8% (16.4-57.3) in the NSCLC cohort, 37.9% (20.7-57.7) in the UC cohort, and 23.5% (10.7-41.2) in the RCC cohort. Median duration of response was 11.5 months (95% CI 2.2-not reached) in the UC cohort, and was not reached in the other cohorts. Retifanlimab safety was consistent with previous experience for PD-(L)1 inhibitors.

Conclusions

Retifanlimab demonstrated durable antitumor activity in patients with melanoma, NSCLC, UC, or RCC. The efficacy and safety of retifanlimab were as expected for a PD-(L)1 inhibitor. These data support further study of retifanlimab in solid tumors.

Project description:BackgroundActivation of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is linked to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), with a strong association between LIF expression and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). MSC-1 (AZD0171) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to LIF, promoting antitumor inflammation through TAM modulation and cancer stem cell inhibition, slowing tumor growth. In this phase I, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study, MSC-1 monotherapy was assessed in patients with advanced, unresectable solid tumors.Materials and methodsUsing accelerated-titration dose escalation followed by a 3 + 3 design, MSC-1 doses of 75-1500 mg were administered intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W) until progression or unmanageable toxicity. Additional patients were enrolled in selected cohorts to further evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics after escalation to the next dose had been approved. The primary objective was characterizing safety and determining the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Evaluating antitumor activity and progression-free survival (PFS) by RECIST v1.1, PK and immunogenicity were secondary objectives. Exploratory objectives included pharmacodynamic effects on circulating LIF and TME immune markers.ResultsForty-one patients received treatment. MSC-1 monotherapy was safe and well tolerated at all doses, with no dose-limiting toxicities. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached and the RP2D was determined to be 1500 mg Q3W. Almost half of the patients had treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), with no apparent trends across doses; no patients withdrew due to TRAEs. There were no objective responses; 23.7% had stable disease for ≥2 consecutive tumor assessments. Median PFS was 5.9 weeks; 23.7% had PFS >16 weeks. On-treatment changes in circulating LIF and TME signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 signaling, M1:M2 macrophage populations, and CD8+ T-cell infiltration were consistent with the hypothesized mechanism of action.ConclusionsMSC-1 was very well tolerated across doses, with prolonged PFS in some patients. Biomarker and preclinical data suggest potential synergy with checkpoint inhibitors.
