An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase I, Dose Escalation Study with Phase II Expansion Cohort to Determine the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of Intravenous TKM-080301 in Subjects with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Lessons learned

TKM-080301 showed a favorable toxicity profile at the studied dose.TKM-080301 targeting PLK1 through small interfering RNA mechanism did not demonstrate improved overall survival in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma compared with historical control. Preliminary antitumor activity as shown in this early-phase study does not support further evaluation as a single agent.

Background

Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Knockdown of PLK1 expression by PLK1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) in an HCC cell line showed reduced expression in RNA-induced silencing complex and a reduction in cell proliferation.

Methods

A 3 + 3 dose escalation plus expansion cohort at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was implemented. Patients with HCC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2, and Child-Pugh score A received TKM-080301 as an intravenous infusion once every week for 3 consecutive weeks, repeated every 28 days.

Results

The study enrolled 43 patients. The starting dose of TKM-080301 was 0.3 mg/kg, and MTD was declared at 0.75 mg/kg. Following the development of grade 4 thrombocytopenia in two subjects on the expansion cohort, the MTD was redefined at 0.6 mg/kg. Four patients did not have any evaluable postbaseline scan. Of the other 39 subjects who had received at least 0.3 mg/kg, 18 subjects (46.2%) had stable disease (SD) by independent RECIST 1.1 criteria. By Choi criteria, eight subjects (23.1%) had a partial response (PR). For 37 assessable subjects, with 2 subjects censored, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.04 months. Median survival for the whole study population was 7.5 months.

Conclusion

TKM-080301 was generally well tolerated. In this early-phase study, antitumor effect for TKM 080301 was limited. Further evaluation as a single agent in large randomized trials is not warranted.

Project description:BackgroundQL1604 is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody against programmed cell death protein 1. This first-in-human, open-label phase I study aimed to investigate the safety and tolerability and to identify the recommended doses of QL1604 for future studies. Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) and preliminary antitumor activity were also assessed.MethodsPatients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who failed or had no standard therapies available were recruited. In the dose-escalation phase, patients were treated with QL1604 at 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg intravenously once every 2 weeks (Q2W) in an accelerated titration with a traditional 3 + 3 design, followed by a dose-expansion phase at 3 mg/kg Q2W, 3 mg/kg once every 3 weeks (Q3W), 10 mg/kg Q2W and a fixed dose of 200 mg Q3W. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were assessed during the first 28 days after the first dose of study drug. Adverse events (AEs) were graded per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0, and antitumor activity of QL1604 was evaluated by investigators on the basis of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.ResultsA total of 35 patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors were enrolled. DLTs were reported in one patient at the dose level of 3 mg/kg Q2W (grade 3 immune-mediated myositis and myasthenia gravis), and maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The most frequent treatment-related AEs (≥10%) were fatigue (37.1%), anemia (22.9%), increased blood thyroid-stimulating hormone (17.1%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (17.1%), increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (14.3%), decreased white blood cell (WBC) count (11.4%), rash (14.3%), and pruritus (14.3%). AEs leading to discontinuation of QL1604 occurred in three of the 35 patients (8.6%). Partial responses (PRs) occurred in seven patients, resulting in an objective response rate of 20.0% (7/35). Single dose of QL1604 exhibited a dose-dependent increase in the exposure ranging from 0.3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. Mean receptor occupancy (RO) for QL1604 at the dose of 3 mg/kg (Q2W and Q3W) and 200 mg (Q3W) was greater than 80% during cycle 1 after one infusion.ConclusionQL1604 monotherapy exhibited favorable safety, PK, and signal of antitumor activity in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, and the results supported further clinical studies of QL1604. On the basis of the safety, PK, and RO data, the recommended dosage for further clinical trials is 3 mg/kg or a fixed dose of 200 mg given every 3 weeks.Clinical trial registrationhttps://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05649761?term=QL1604&draw=2&rank=1, identifier NCT05649761.

Project description:BackgroundNovel approaches are required to improve outcomes in relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We aimed to evaluate camidanlumab tesirine, an anti-CD25 antibody-drug conjugate, in this patient population.MethodsThis was a phase 1, dose-escalation (part 1), dose-expansion (part 2), multicentre trial done in 12 hospital sites (seven in the USA and five in the UK). Adults (≥18 years old) with pathologically confirmed relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2, who had no therapies available to them with established clinical benefit for their disease stage were enrolled. Camidanlumab tesirine was administered intravenously (3-150 μg/kg) once every 3 weeks. Primary objectives were to assess dose-limiting toxicity, determine maximum tolerated dose and recommended expansion dose(s), and assess safety of camidanlumab tesirine. Safety was assessed in all treated patients; antitumour activity was assessed in patients with one or more valid baseline and post-baseline disease assessment and in those who had disease progression or died after first study-drug dose. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02432235.FindingsBetween Oct 5, 2015, and Jun 30, 2019, 133 patients were enrolled (77 [58%] had classical Hodgkin lymphoma and 56 (42%) had non-Hodgkin lymphoma). Median follow-up was 9·2 months (IQR 4·2-14·3). Eight dose-limiting toxicities were reported in five (6%) of 86 patients who were evaluable; the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The recommended doses for expansion were 30 μg/kg and 45 μg/kg for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma and 80 μg/kg for patients with T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. No recommended doses for expansion were defined for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Grade 3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events (reported by ≥10% of the 133 patients) included increased γ-glutamyltransferase (20 [15%] patients), maculopapular rash (16 [12%]), and anaemia (15 [11%]); 74 (56%) patients had serious treatment-emergent adverse events, most commonly pyrexia (16 [12%]). One (1%) fatal treatment-emergent adverse event and two (2%) deaths outside the reporting period were considered at least possibly study-drug related. Antitumoural activity was seen in classical Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas; notably in all patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma, the overall response was 71% (95% CI 60-81).InterpretationThese results warrant evaluation of camidanlumab tesirine as a potential treatment option for relapsed or refractory lymphoma, particularly in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma.FundingADC Therapeutics.

Project description:Background and objectiveDifelikefalin, a selective kappa-opioid receptor agonist, is the first approved treatment for moderate-to-severe pruritus in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) in the USA and Europe. The purpose of this open-label study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics and disposition of [14C]difelikefalin following a single intravenous dose in subjects with normal renal function and subjects on HD.MethodsTwelve adult males (n = 6 healthy subjects; n = 6 subjects on HD) received single intravenous doses of [14C]difelikefalin containing 100 µCi (total doses of 1.7-3.0 μg/kg difelikefalin). Blood, urine, feces, and dialysate samples (when applicable) were collected after dosing.ResultsThe median time to maximum concentration was similar for HD and healthy subjects, occurring at 5 min post-dose. The mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) was approximately 11-fold higher in HD versus healthy subjects; mean plasma half-life was 38.0 h and 2.6 h, respectively. In healthy subjects, 80.5% of the dose was recovered in urine, and 11.3% was recovered in feces. In subjects on HD, 58.8% of the dose was recovered in feces, and 19.5% was recovered in dialysate [for subjects on HD with residual kidney function (n = 3), 11.2% was recovered in urine]. Based on plasma AUClast, parent [14C]difelikefalin was the most abundant analyte in systemic circulation (> 99% of total exposure) for both cohorts. Metabolite profiles in urine and feces suggested minimal metabolism of the parent compound.ConclusionIn subjects on HD, difelikefalin total exposure was higher and plasma half-life was longer compared with subjects with intact renal function. Metabolism was low in both healthy subjects and subjects on HD, with unchanged drug representing > 99% of systemic circulation; however, the route of excretion was primarily into urine versus feces in healthy subjects, and feces versus dialysate in subjects on HD.RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT03947970.

Project description:BackgroundThe introductions of anti- human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) agents have significantly improved the treatment outcome of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. BAT8001 is a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-expressing cells composed of a trastuzumab biosimilar linked to the drug-linker Batansine. This dose-escalation, phase I study was designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of BAT8001 in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.MethodsThis trial was conducted in subjects with histologically confirmed HER2-positive breast cancer (having evaluable lesions and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1) using a 3 + 3 design of escalating BAT8001 doses. Patients received BAT8001 intravenously in a 21-day cycle, with dose escalation in 5 cohorts: 1.2, 2.4, 3.6, 4.8, and 6.0 mg/kg. The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BAT8001. Preliminary activity of BAT8001 was also assessed as a secondary objective.ResultsBetween March 2017 to May 2018, 29 HER2-positive breast cancer patients were enrolled. The observed dose-limiting toxicities were grade 4 thrombocytopenia and grade 3 elevated transaminase. The maximum tolerated dose was determined to be 3.6 mg/kg. Grade 3 or greater adverse events (AEs) occurred in 14 (48.3%) of 29 patients, including thrombocytopenia in 12 (41.4%) patients, aspartate aminotransferase increased in 4 (13.8%) patients, γ-glutamyl transferase increased in 2 (6.9%) patients, alanine aminotransferase increased in 2 (6.9%) patients, diarrhea in 2 (6.9%) patients. Objective response was observed in 12 (41.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 23.5%-61.1%) and disease control (including patients achieving objective response and stable disease) was observed in 24 (82.8%; 95% CI = 64.2%-94.2%) patients.ConclusionsBAT8001 demonstrated favorable safety profiles, with promising anti-tumor activity in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. BAT8001 has the potential to provide a new therapeutic option in patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.
