Project description:Model-informed drug development (MIDD) was central to the development of the oral proteasome inhibitor ixazomib, facilitating internal decisions (switch from body surface area (BSA)-based to fixed dosing, inclusive phase III trials, portfolio prioritization of ixazomib-based combinations, phase III dose for maintenance treatment), regulatory review (model-informed QT analysis, benefit-risk of 4 mg dose), and product labeling (absolute bioavailability and intrinsic/extrinsic factors). This review discusses the impact of MIDD in enabling patient-centric therapeutic optimization during the development of ixazomib.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) patients typically receive several lines of combination therapy and first-line treatment commonly includes lenalidomide. As patients age, they become less tolerant to treatment, requiring convenient/tolerable/lenalidomide-free options. Carfilzomib and/or bortezomib-exposed/intolerant, lenalidomide-refractory MM patients with ≥2 prior lines of therapy were randomized 3:2 to ixazomib-dexamethasone (ixa-dex) (n = 73) or pomalidomide-dexamethasone (pom-dex) (n = 49) until progression/toxicity. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 7.1 vs 4.8 months with ixa-dex vs pom-dex (HR 0.847, 95% CI 0.535-1.341, P = 0.477; median follow-up: 15.3 vs 17.3 months); there was no statistically significant difference between arms. In patients with 2 and ≥3 prior lines of therapy, respectively, mPFS was 11.0 vs 5.7 months (HR 1.083, 95% CI 0.547-2.144) and 5.7 vs 3.7 months (HR 0.686, 95% CI 0.368-1.279). Among ixa-dex vs pom-dex patients, 69% vs 81% had Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), 51% vs 53% had serious TEAEs, 39% vs 36% had TEAEs leading to drug discontinuation, 44% vs 32% had TEAEs leading to dose reduction, and 13% vs 13% died on study. Quality of life was similar between arms and maintained during treatment. Ixa-dex represents an important lenalidomide-free, oral option for this heavily pretreated, lenalidomide-refractory, proteasome inhibitor-exposed population.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03170882.

Project description:This phase 1/2 study assessed the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the oral proteasome inhibitor (PI) ixazomib in patients with relapsed/refractory immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Ixazomib was administered to adult patients with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis after 1 or more prior lines of therapy (including bortezomib) on days 1, 8, and 15 of 28-day cycles, for up to 12 cycles. Patients with less than partial response after 3 cycles received oral dexamethasone (40 mg, days 1-4) from cycle 4. A 3+3 dose-escalation phase was followed by 2 expansion cohorts (PI-naive and PI-exposed patients) at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Twenty-seven patients were enrolled: 11 during dose escalation (6 at 4.0 mg and 5 at 5.5 mg) and 16 during dose expansion (4.0 mg). Three patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities: 1 at 4.0 mg and 2 at 5.5 mg; the MTD was determined as 4.0 mg. Most common adverse events (AEs) included nausea, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (SSTD), diarrhea, and fatigue; grade 3 or higher AEs included dyspnea, fatigue, and SSTD. Overall, the hematologic response rate was 52% in patients treated at the MTD (n = 21). Organ responses were seen in 56% of patients (5 cardiac, 5 renal). Median hematologic progression-free survival was 14.8 months; 1-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 60% and 85%, respectively (median follow-up, 16.9 months). Weekly oral ixazomib appears to be active in patients with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis, with a generally manageable safety profile. The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01318902 A phase 3 study is ongoing (#NCT01659658).

Project description:Despite advances in deciphering the molecular pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), patients with relapsed/refractory disease, particularly those with adverse genetic features (e.g., mutated p53 or double hit lymphoma (DHL)) have very poor prognoses, and effective therapies are lacking. In this study we examined the preclinical efficacy and associated biological effects of the first oral proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib, in DLBCL in vitro and in vivo models. We demonstrated that ixazomib exhibited anti-tumor activities in 28 representative DLBCL cell lines, 10 primary DLBCL samples, and a DHL xenotransplant mouse model, at clinically achievable drug concentrations. Ixazomib sensitivity in DLBCL cells is correlated with immunoproteasomal activity; stimulating lymphoma cells with interferon gamma induced immunoproteasome activity and sensitized these cells to ixazomib. In addition, we showed that ixazomib induces apoptosis and the DNA damage response pathway, through activation of the checkpoint kinase 2 (CHK2). Hence, pharmacological inhibition of CHK2 enhances the anti-tumor activity of ixazomib in DLBCL cells. Our results indicate that ixazomib is an effective proteasome inhibitor active in DLBCL, including DHL, and its combination with a CHK2 inhibitor offers a potentially more robust therapeutic regimen for treatment-resistant DLBCL.

Project description:Ixazomib is the first investigational oral proteasome inhibitor to be studied clinically. In this phase 1 trial, 60 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (median of 4 prior lines of therapy; bortezomib, lenalidomide, thalidomide, and carfilzomib/marizomib in 88%, 88%, 62%, and 5%, respectively) received single-agent ixazomib 0.24 to 2.23 mg/m(2) (days 1, 4, 8, 11; 21-day cycles). Two dose-limiting toxicities (grade 3 rash; grade 4 thrombocytopenia) occurred at 2.23 mg/m(2). The maximum tolerated dose was 2.0 mg/m(2), which 40 patients received in 4 expansion cohorts. Patients received a median of 4 cycles (range, 1-39); 18% received ≥12 cycles. Eighty-eight percent had drug-related adverse events, including nausea (42%), thrombocytopenia (42%), fatigue (40%), and rash (40%); drug-related grade ≥3 events included thrombocytopenia (37%) and neutropenia (17%). Grade 1/2 drug-related peripheral neuropathy occurred in 12% (no grade ≥3). Two patients died on the study (both considered unrelated to treatment). The terminal half-life of ixazomib was 3.3 to 7.4 days; plasma exposure increased proportionally with dose (0.48-2.23 mg/m(2)). Among 55 response-evaluable patients, 15% achieved partial response or better (76% stable disease or better). These findings have informed the subsequent clinical development of ixazomib in multiple myeloma. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00932698.

Project description:AimThe aim of the present study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of the oral proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib, in patients with solid tumours and moderate or severe hepatic impairment, to provide posology recommendations.MethodsEligible adults with advanced malignancies for which no further effective therapy was available received a single dose of ixazomib on day 1 of the pharmacokinetic cycle; patients with normal hepatic function, moderate hepatic impairment or severe hepatic impairment received 4 mg, 2.3 mg or 1.5 mg, respectively. Blood samples for single-dose pharmacokinetic characterization were collected over 336 h postdose. After sampling, patients could continue to receive ixazomib on days 1, 8 and 15 in 28-day cycles.ResultsOf 48 enrolled patients (13, 15 and 20 in the normal, moderate and severe groups, respectively), 43 were pharmacokinetics-evaluable. Ixazomib was rapidly absorbed (median time to reach peak concentration was 0.95-1.5 h) and highly bound to plasma proteins, with a similar mean fraction bound (~99%) across the three groups. In patients with moderate/severe hepatic impairment (combined group), the geometric least squares mean ratios (90% confidence interval) for unbound and total dose-normalized area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration in reference to the normal hepatic function group were 1.27 (0.75, 2.16) and 1.20 (0.79, 1.82), respectively. Seven (15%) of the 48 patients experienced a grade 3 drug-related adverse event; there were no drug-related grade 4 adverse events.ConclusionsIn patients with moderate/severe hepatic impairment, unbound and total systemic exposures of ixazomib were 27% and 20% higher, respectively, vs. normal hepatic function. A reduced ixazomib starting dose of 3 mg is recommended for patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment.

Project description:The application of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) has been restricted due to limited cell sources and conventional methods for generating these cells by cell expansion and pluripotent stem cell differentiation have not been clinically achieved. Cell reprogramming technique provides a new hope for generating desirable cells. We previously reported that mouse differentiated hematopoietic cell reprogramming could be induced by small molecule compounds to generate hematopoietic stem/progenitor-like cells, whether the human hematopoietic cells could also be reprogrammed into HSCs by chemical compounds remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that human committed hematopoietic progenitors could be reprogrammed into multipotent progenitors by spliceosome inhibitor. Combination of single cell RNA-sequencing and genetic lineage tracing including exogenous barcodes and endogenous mitochondrial DNA mutations confirmed the reprogramming procession. Although the small chemical compound inhibiting spliceosome function only induces the differentiated hematopoietic progenitors to acquire plasticity and reprograms them into multipotent progenitors but not stem cells so far, this study still provides a proof-of-concept strategy for generating HSCs based on combining two independent steps together in future, first differentiating rare HSCs into large number of progenitors then reprogramming these progenitors into huge number of HSCs. Further dissecting the mechanism underlying spliceosome inhibitor-induced human hematopoietic cell reprogramming in future will help us comprehensively understanding not only the chemical reprogramming to generate desirable human cells for clinical translation but also hematopoiesis under physiological and pathological conditions.

Project description:Proteasome inhibition is an effective treatment strategy for multiple myeloma. With improving survival, attention is increasingly focusing on ease of administration and toxicity profile. Ixazomib is an investigational, orally bioavailable 20S proteasome inhibitor. Sixty patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma were enrolled on this phase 1 trial to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of single-agent, oral ixazomib given weekly for 3 of 4 weeks. Upon MTD determination, patients were enrolled to 4 different cohorts based on relapsed/refractory status and prior bortezomib and carfilzomib exposure. The MTD was determined to be 2.97 mg/m(2). Dose-limiting toxicities were grade 3 nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in 2 patients, and grade 3 skin rash in 1 patient. Common drug-related adverse events were thrombocytopenia (43%), diarrhea (38%), nausea (38%), fatigue (37%), and vomiting (35%). The observed rate of peripheral neuropathy was 20%, with only 1 grade 3 event reported. Nine (18%) patients achieved a partial response or better, including 8 of 30 (27%) evaluable patients treated at the MTD. Pharmacokinetic studies suggested a long terminal half-life of 3.6 to 11.3 days, supporting once-weekly dosing. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00963820.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) mobilized to peripheral blood, rather than those remaining in the bone marrow (BM), are commonly used as stem cell source in the clinic. As reactive oxygen species (ROS) are suggested as mediator of HSPC mobilization, we examined the impacts of glucose oxidase (GO) on peripheral mobilization of BM HSPCs and the associated mechanisms. Intravenous injection of GO induced HSPC mobilization even by single treatment, and the GO-mobilized cells maintained their long-term reconstituting and differentiating potentials in conditioned recipients. GO-injected mice lived a normal life without adverse effects such as stem cell senescence, hematopoietic disorders, and blood parameter alteration. The mobilization effect of GO was even evident in animal models showing poor mobilization, such as old, 5-fluorouracil-treated, or alendronate-treated mice. Importantly, combined injection of GO with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and/or AMD3100 enhanced more greatly HSPC mobilization than did G-CSF, AMD3100, or both. The GO-stimulated HSPC mobilization was almost completely attenuated by N-acetyl-L-cysteine treatment. Collectively, our results not only highlight the potential role of GO in HSPC mobilization via ROS signaling, but also provide a GO-based new strategy to improve HSPC mobilization in poorly mobilizing allogeneic or autologous donors via combination with G-CSF and/or AMD3100.

Project description:Osteosarcoma is the most common form of primary bone cancer. Over 20% of osteosarcoma patients present with pulmonary metastases at diagnosis, and nearly 70% of these patients fail to respond to treatment. Previous work revealed that human and canine osteosarcoma cell lines are extremely sensitive to the therapeutic proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in vitro. However, bortezomib has proven disappointingly ineffective against solid tumors including sarcomas in animal experiments and clinical trials. Poor tumor penetration has been speculated to account for the inconsistency between in vitro and in vivo responses of solid tumors to bortezomib. Here we show that the second-generation proteasome inhibitor ixazomib, which reportedly has enhanced solid tumor penetration compared to bortezomib, is toxic to human and canine osteosarcoma cells in vitro. We used experimental osteosarcoma metastasis models to compare the efficacies of ixazomib and bortezomib against primary tumors and metastases derived from luciferase-expressing KRIB or 143B human osteosarcoma cell lines in athymic mice. Neither proteasome inhibitor reduced the growth of primary intramuscular KRIB tumors, however both drugs inhibited the growth of established pulmonary metastases created via intravenous inoculation with KRIB cells, which were significantly better vascularized than the primary tumors. Only ixazomib slowed metastases from KRIB primary tumors and inhibited the growth of 143B pulmonary and abdominal metastases, significantly enhancing the survival of mice intravenously injected with 143B cells. Taken together, these results suggest ixazomib exerts better single agent activity against osteosarcoma metastases than bortezomib. These data provide hope that incorporation of ixazomib, or other proteasome inhibitors that penetrate efficiently into solid tumors, into current regimens may improve outcomes for patients diagnosed with metastatic osteosarcoma.
