A phase II study of a human anti-PDGFRα monoclonal antibody (olaratumab, IMC-3G3) in previously treated patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluated tumor response to olaratumab (an anti-PDGFRα monoclonal antibody) in previously treated patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with or without PDGFRα mutations (cohorts 1 and 2, respectively).

Patients and methods

Patients received olaratumab 20 mg/kg intravenously every 14 days until disease progression, death, or intolerable toxicity occurred. Outcome measures were 12-week tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.

Results

Of 30 patients enrolled, 21 patients received ≥1 dose of olaratumab. In the evaluable population (cohort 1, n = 6; cohort 2, n = 14), no complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was observed. Stable disease (SD) was observed in 3 patients (50.0%) in cohort 1 and 2 patients (14.3%) in cohort 2. Progressive disease (PD) was observed in 3 patients (50.0%) in cohort 1 and 12 patients (85.7%) in cohort 2. The 12-week clinical benefit rate (CR + PR + SD) (90% CI) was 50.0% (15.3-84.7%) in cohort 1 and 14.3% (2.6-38.5%) in cohort 2. SD lasted beyond 12 weeks in 5 patients (cohort 1, n = 3; cohort 2, n = 2). Median PFS (90% CI) was 32.1 (5.0-35.9) weeks in cohort 1 and 6.1 (5.7-6.3) weeks in cohort 2. Median OS was not reached in cohort 1 and was 24.9 (14.4-49.1) weeks in cohort 2. All patients in cohort 1 and 9 (64.3%) in cohort 2 experienced an olaratumab-related adverse event (AE), most commonly fatigue (38.1%), nausea (19.0%), and peripheral edema (14.3%). Two grade ≥3 olaratumab-related events were reported (cohort 1, syncope; cohort 2, hypertension).

Conclusions

Olaratumab had an acceptable AE profile in patients with GIST. While there was no apparent effect on PFS in patients without PDGFRα mutations, patients with PDGFRα-mutant GIST (all with D842V mutations) treated with olaratumab had longer disease control compared with historical data for this genotype.

Project description:Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common Mesenchymal Neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. The tumorigenesis of GISTs has been associated with the gain-of-function mutation and abnormal activation of the stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) kinases. Hence, inhibitors that target c-KIT and PDGFRα could be a therapeutic option for the treatment of GISTs. The available approved c-KIT/PDGFRα inhibitors possessed low efficacy with off-target effects, which necessitated the development of potent inhibitors. We performed computational studies of 48 pyrazolopyridine derivatives that showed inhibitory activity against c-KIT and PDGFRα to study the structural properties important for inhibition of both the kinases. The derivative of phenylurea, which has high activities for both c-KIT (pIC50 = 8.6) and PDGFRα (pIC50 = 8.1), was used as the representative compound for the dataset. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation (100 ns) of compound 14 was performed. Compound 14 showed the formation of hydrogen bonding with Cys673, Glu640, and Asp810 in c-KIT, and Cys677, Glu644, and Asp836 in PDGFRα. The results also suggested that Thr670/T674 substitution in c-KIT/PDGFRα induced conformational changes at the binding site of the receptors. Three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) models were developed based on the inhibitors. Contour map analysis showed that electropositive and bulky substituents at the para-position and the meta-position of the benzyl ring of compound 14 was favorable and may increase the inhibitory activity against both c-KIT and PDGFRα. Analysis of the results suggested that having bulky and hydrophobic substituents that extend into the hydrophobic pocket of the binding site increases the activity for both c-KIT and PDGFRα. Based on the contour map analysis, 50 compounds were designed, and the activities were predicted. An evaluation of binding free energy showed that eight of the designed compounds have potential binding affinity with c-KIT/PDGFRα. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) and synthetic feasibility tests showed that the designed compounds have reasonable pharmaceutical properties and synthetic feasibility. Further experimental study of the designed compounds is recommended. The structural information from this study could provide useful insight into the future development of c-KIT and PDGFRα inhibitors.
