Safety and clinical activity of JNJ-78306358, a human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) x CD3 bispecific antibody, for the treatment of advanced stage solid tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

JNJ-78306358 is a bispecific antibody that redirects T cells to kill human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G)-expressing tumor cells. This dose escalation study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of JNJ-78306358 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Methods

Adult patients with metastatic/unresectable solid tumors with high prevalence of HLA-G expression were enrolled. Dose escalation was initiated with once-weekly subcutaneous administration with step-up dosing to mitigate cytokine release syndrome (CRS).

Results

Overall, 39 heavily pretreated patients (colorectal cancer: n = 23, ovarian cancer: n = 10, and renal cell carcinoma: n = 6) were dosed in 7 cohorts. Most patients (94.9%) experienced ≥ 1 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); 87.2% had ≥ 1 related TEAEs. About half of the patients (48.7%) experienced CRS, which were grade 1/2. Nine patients (23.1%) received tocilizumab for CRS. No grade 3 CRS was observed. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of increased transaminases, pneumonitis and recurrent CRS requiring a dose reduction were reported in 4 patients, coinciding with CRS. No treatment-related deaths reported. No objective responses were noted, but 2 patients had stable disease > 40 weeks. JNJ-78306358 stimulated peripheral T cell activation and cytokine release. Anti-drug antibodies were observed in 45% of evaluable patients with impact on exposure. Approximately half of archival tumor samples (48%) had expression of HLA-G by immunohistochemistry.

Conclusion

JNJ-78306358 showed pharmacodynamic effects with induction of cytokines and T cell activation. JNJ-78306358 was associated with CRS-related toxicities including increased transaminases and pneumonitis which limited its dose escalation to potentially efficacious levels. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT04991740).

Project description:IntroductionOverexpression of c-Met, or hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor, is commonly observed in tumor biopsies and often associated with poor patient survival, which makes HGF/c-Met pathway an attractive molecular target for cancer therapy. A number of antibody-based therapeutic strategies have been explored to block c-Met or HGF in cancers; however, clinical efficacy has been very limited, indicating that blockade of c-Met signal alone is not sufficient. Thus, an alternative approach is to develop an immunotherapy strategy for c-Met-overexpressing cancers. c-Met/CD3 bispecific antibody (BsAb) could bridge CD3-positive T lymphocytes and tumor cells to result in potent tumor cell killing.Materials and methodsA bispecific antibody, BS001, which binds both c-Met and CD3, was generated using a novel BsAb platform. Western blotting and T cells-mediated killing assays were utilized to evaluate the BsAb's effects on cell proliferation, survival and signal transduction in tumor cells. Subcutaneous tumor mouse models were used to analyze the in vivo anti-tumor effects of the bispecific antibody and its combination therapy with PD-L1 antibody.ResultsBS001 showed potent T-cell mediated tumor cells killing in vitro. Furthermore, BS001 inhibited phosphorylation of c-Met and downstream signal transduction in tumor cells. In A549 lung cancer xenograft model, BS001 inhibited tumor growth and increased the proportion of activated CD56+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. In vivo combination therapy of BS001 with Atezolizumab (an anti-programmed cell death protein1-ligand (PD-L1) antibody) showed more potent tumor inhibition than monotherapies. Similarly, in SKOV3 xenograft model, BS001 showed a significant efficacy in tumor growth inhibition and tumor recurrence was not observed in more than half of mice treated with a combination of BS001 and Pembrolizumab.Conclusionc-Met/CD3 bispecific antibody BS001 exhibited potent anti-tumor activities in vitro and in vivo, which was achieved through two distinguished mechanisms: through antibody-mediated tumor cell killing by T cells and through inhibition of c-Met signal transduction.
