Project description:While patients with microsatellite instable, metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) benefit from immune checkpoint blockade, chemotherapy with targeted therapies remains the only therapeutic option for microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors. The single arm, phase IB/II MEDITREME trial evaluates safety and efficacy of durvalumab plus tremelimumab in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy in first line, in 57 patients with RAS-mutant unresectable mCRC. Safety was primary objective of phase IB and no safety issue was observed. The primary objective of phase II was efficacy in terms of 3-month PFS in MSS patients, which was met with a 3 month PFS of 90.7% [95% CI: 79.2-96%]. For secondary objective, response rate was 64.5%, median PFS was 8.2 months [95% CI: 5.9–8.6] and overall survival was not reached in MSS patients. Higher tumor mutational burden and a lower degree of genomic instability in responder patients. Integrated transcriptomic analysis underlined that high immune signature, and low epithelio-mesenchymal transition were associated with better outcome. Immunomonitoring showed induction of neoantigen and NY-ESO1 and TERT blood tumor specific T cell response associated with better PFS. The combination of durvalumab-tremelimumab with mFOLFOX6 was tolerable with promising clinical activity in MSS mCRC.

Project description:Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is frequently amplified and acts as an immune modulator across cancer types. However, evidence illustrates that targeting FAK is most effective in combination therapy rather than in monotherapy. Here, we demonstrated that the FAK inhibitor, IN10018, and pegylated liposome doxorubicin (PLD) exerted effective antitumor activity preclinically and clinically (clinical trial ID: CTR20200913). The clinical study is a phase Ib trial which includes dose confirmation and expansion sections. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. As of the data cutoff date (30 November 2022), a total of 61 platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) patients were enrolled and no IN10018-related grade 4 or 5 adverse effects (AEs) were reported. The ORR was 46.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 32.6%, 60.4%) and the DCR was 83.3% (95% CI: 70.7%, 92.1%). The median PFS was 7.26 months (95% CI: 5.16 - 8.02 months), and the median duration of response (DoR) was 6.93 months (95% CI: 4.17 - 9.13 months). The primary and secondary endpoints were met. The median OS was not reached, and still maturing. Notably, the regimen exhibited response latency and long-lasting effects in the clinical trial, outcomes frequently observed in immunotherapy. Our preclinical study revealed that the 2-drug combination can maximize the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells, boosting the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and stimulating CD8 T cells to strengthen the antitumor effects. At present, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is widely considered to exert long-term treatment benefits by activating antitumor immunity. However, many cancer patients show poor clinical responses to ICB due in part to the lack of immunogenic niche. Our work confirmed that IN10018 in combination with PLD can prime the tumor microenvironment, supplementing it with sufficient tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to activate antitumor immunity. Correspondingly, animal studies validated that the antitumor effects of ICB can be significantly enhanced by this doublet regimen. The preclinical results warrant further clinical exploration for the triplet regimen with IN10018, PLD, and ICB.

Project description:Inhibition of the B-cell receptor pathway, and specifically of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), is a leading therapeutic strategy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Target occupancy has been measured as a pharmacodynamic parameter in clinical studies of covalent BTK inhibitors. However, the kinetics of BTK turnover, which determines occupancy, and the relationship between occupancy, pathway inhibition and clinical outcomes remains undefined. This randomized phase 2 study investigated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of a selective BTK inhibitor acalabrutinib at 100 mg twice daily or 200 mg once daily in 48 patients with relapsed/refractory or high-risk treatment naïve CLL. Acalabrutinib was well tolerated and yielded an overall response rate (ORR) of partial response or better of 95.8% (95% CI 78.9%, 99.9%) and an estimated progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 24 months of 91.5% (95% CI 70.0%, 97.8%) with twice daily dosing and an ORR of 79.2% (95% CI 57.9%, 92.9%) and an estimated PFS rate at 24 months of 87.2% (95% CI 57.2%, 96.7%) with once daily dosing. BTK resynthesis was faster in CLL than in healthy volunteers. Twice daily dosing maintained higher BTK occupancy and achieved more potent pathway inhibition compared to once daily dosing. Additional follow-up is required to address the impact of dosing schedule and BTK occupancy on long-term clinical outcomes.

Project description:Importance: Autophagy has been identified as a resistance mechanism to BRAF and MEK inhibition in BRAF mutant melanoma. In the BAMM trial, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was used to inhibit autophagy in combination with dabrafenib and trametenib in BRAF mutant melanoma patients. Objective: To a) determine safety and maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of hydroxychloroquine when combined with dabrafenib and trametinib and b) determine antitumor activity of the combination. Design: Open label non-randomized phase I/II clinical trial Setting: Prospective therapeutic clinical trial conducted in 4 centers Participants: Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV BRAF mutant melanoma patients Intrevention: HCQ twice daily, dabrafenib 150 mg twice daily and trametinib 2 mg daily (D+T) Main Outcome: Primary outcomes were safety and 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate Results: Between December 2014 and January 2020, 50 patients were screened, 38 patients were enrolled and evaluable for toxicity and 34 patients were evaluable for 1-year PFS rate. Patient demographics were: 29% were ECOG PS 1, 47% had elevated LDH, 52% were Stage IV M1c or M1d and 53% had previously received therapy for advanced melanoma. In the phase I trial there was no dose limiting toxicity of HCQ at either 400 (n=3) or 600 (MTD) mg po bid combined with D+T. For the entire study population, the 1-year PFS rate was 41% (95% CI = ), median PFS was 11.9 months (95% CI = ), overall response rate (ORR) was 85% (95% exact CI=64-95%)and complete response rate of 41% (95% exact CI=25-59%). In a prespecificed subgroup analysis in 18 patients with elevated LDH, the ORR was 88% and median PFS was 8 months Conlusion and Relevance: The combination of HCQ, dabrafenib and trametinib was well tolerated and produced a high response rate but did not meet the prespecified criteria for success with respect to the 1-year PFS rate. In patients with elevated LDH , the response rate and PFS were encouraging. A randomized placebo controlled trial of dabrafenib and trametinib with/without HCQ in advanced BRAF mutant melanoma patients with elevated LDH and previously treated with immunotherapy is being conducted through the National Clinical Trial Network.

Project description:There will be three parts to this phase I study: 1) the Combination Dose Finding cohort; 2) the Combination Expansion cohort; and 3) the Monotherapy MET Amplified cohort. In the Combination Dose Finding cohort and the Combination Expansion cohort, we will combine cabozantinib and panitumumab in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). In the Monotherapy MET Amplified cohort, we will screen at least 50 patients for MET gene amplification ("MET amplification"). Patients with MET amplification will receive cabozantinib only (monotherapy).
The primary objective of this open-label phase Ib trial are:
1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose for the combination of cabozantinib and panitumumab in patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer and
2. To identify the objective response rate (ORR) of cabozantinib monotherapy in patients with prospectively identified MET amplified metastatic colorectal cancer.
The secondary objectives are:
1. To describe the non-dose limiting toxicities of cabozantinib and panitumumab.
2. To describe the clinical activity (ORR, PFS, OS) of cabozantinib and panitumumab.
3. To describe the safety and tolerability of cabozantinib monotherapy in patients with MET amplified colorectal cancer.
4. To describe the clinical activity (PFS, OS) of cabozantinib monotherapy in patients with MET amplified colorectal cancer.

Project description:Background. Bevacizumab, an antibody neutralizing Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), is licensed for the management of patients with advanced colon cancer. However, tumor biomarkers identifying the molecular tumor subsets most amenable to angiogenesis modulation are lacking. Patients and Methods. We profiled expession of 24526 genes by means of whole genome 24K DASL (c-DNA-mediated, Annealing, Selection and Ligation) arrays, (Illumina, CA) in 16 bevacizumab-treated patients with advanced colon cancer (Test set). Genes with correlation to 8-month Progression-free status were studied by means of qPCR in two independent colon cancer cohorts: 49 patients treated with bevacizumab+chemotherapy (Bevacizumab qPCR set) and 72 patients treated with chemotherapy only (Control qPCR set). Endpoints were best tumor response before metastasectomy (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results. Five genes were significantly correlated to 8-month progression-free status in the Test set: overexpression of KLF12 and downregulation of AGR2, ALDH6A1, MCM5, TFF2. In the two independent datasets, irinotecan- or oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy was administered as first-line treatment and metastasectomies were subsequently applied in 8-14% of patients. No prognostically significant gene classifier encompassing all five genes could be validated in the Bevacizumab or Control qPCR sets. The complex gene expression profile of all-low tumor (ALDH6A1+TFF2+MCM5) was strongly associated with ORR in the Bevacizumab qPCR set (ORR 85.7%, p=0.007), but not in the Control set (ORR 36.4%, p=0.747). The Odds Ratio for response for the all-low tumor (ALDH6A1+TFF2+MCM5) profile versus any other ALDH6A1+TFF2+MCM5 profile was 15 (p=0.018) in the Bevacizumab qPCR set but only 0.72 (p=0.63) in the Control set. The tumor expression profile of (KLF12-high+TFF2-low) was significantly associated with PFS only in the Bevacizumab qPCR set: bevacizumab-treated patients with (KLF12-high + TFF2-low) tumors had superior PFS (median 14 months, 95% CI 2-21) compared to patients with any other (KLF12+TFF2) expression profile (median PFS 7 months, 95% CI 5-10, p=0.021). The Hazard Ratio for disease progression for (KLF12-high + TFF2-low) versus any other KLF12+TFF2 expression profile was 2.92 (p=0.03) in the Validation and 1.29 (p=0.39) in the Control set. Conclusions. Our <three-stage> hypothesis-generating study failed to validate the prognostic significance of a five-gene classifier in mCRC patients. Exploratory analyses suggest two gene signatures that are potentially associated with bevazicumab benefit in patients with advanced colon cancer. 18 tumor tissue samples were analysed, no replicates

Project description:Five-year survival for HPV-unrelated head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) remains below 50%. We assessed the safety of administering combination hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with anti-PDL-1 neoadjuvantly followed by adjuvant anti-PDL-1 with standard of care therapy (n=21) (NCT03635164). The primary endpoint of the study was safety, which was met. Secondary endpoints included radiographic, pathologic, and objective response, locoregional control (LRC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Among evaluable patients at early median follow-up of 16 months (448 days, or 64 weeks), OS was 80.1% with 95% C.I. (62.0%, 100.0%), LRC and PFS were 75.8% with 95% C.I. (57.5%, 99.8%), and major pathological response (MPR) or complete response (CR) was 75% with 95% exact C.I. (51.6%, 100%). Circulating CD8/Treg ratio, CD4 effector memory T cells, and TCR repertoire at time of surgery emerged as biologic correlates of response to therapy. Using high-dimensional multi-omics and spatial data as well as biological correlatives pre- and post-treatment, three major changes were noted in responders within the tumor microenvironment (TME) (and within the blood) post-treatment: 1) an increase in effector T cells; 2) a decrease in immunosuppressive cells; and 3) an increase in antigen presentation. Non-responders appeared to fail due to a lack of one of these three identified steps needed for priming and maintaining activation of T cells. Multiple correlates for response, along with subsets of non-responders that may benefit from additional or alternative immunotherapies, were identified. This treatment is being tested in an ongoing phase II trial with a similar design, where we hope to confirm and expand on our understanding of the mechanisms underlying resistance to therapy.

Project description:Regorafenib has anti-tumor activity in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) with potential immunomodulatory effects, suggesting that its combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor may have clinically meaningful benefits in patients with uHCC. The multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 RENOBATE trial tested regorafenib-nivolumab as front-line treatment for uHCC. Forty-two patients received nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks and regorafenib 80 mg daily (3-weeks-on/1-week-off schedule). The primary endpoint was the investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. The secondary endpoints included safety, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). ORR per RECIST version 1.1 was 31.0%, meeting the primary endpoint. The most common adverse events were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (38.1%), alopecia (26.2%) and skin rash (23.8%). Median PFS was 7.38 months. The 1-year OS rate was 80.5%, and the median OS was not reached. Exploratory single-cell RNA sequencing analyses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed that long-term responders exhibited T cell receptor repertoire diversification, enrichment of genes representing immunotherapy responsiveness in MKI67+ proliferating CD8+ T cells and a higher probability of M1-directed monocyte polarization. Our data support further clinical development of the regorafenib-nivolumab combination as front-line treatment for uHCC and provide preliminary insights on immune biomarkers of response.

Project description:PURPOSE The median overall survival (OS) of patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) refractory to hypomethylating agents is less than 6 months and there is no standard therapy for such patients. Preclinical studies have shown that inhibition of the nuclear export protein XPO1 causes nuclear accumulation of p53 and disruption of NF-κB signaling, both relevant targets for MDS. We therefore sought to determine the safety, efficacy, and potential molecular correlates of response to selinexor, an oral selective inhibitor of XPO1, in MDS. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report the results of a phase 2 clinical trial of selinexor in high-risk MDS patients refractory to hypomethylating agents. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) and secondary endpoints included safety, response duration, and OS. RESULTS In 19 evaluable patients, ORR was 32% (95% CI, 13-57) with an additional 42% (95% CI, 24-71) achieving stable disease (SD). Median OS was 9.6 months (95% CI, 8.5-17.1) with median follow-up of 2.1 years. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) in the first 3 patients (thrombocytopenia [n=3] and hyponatremia [n=1]) led to dose reduction to 60mg flat dose twice-weekly for two weeks followed by one week off, resulting in significantly improved tolerability. The most frequent adverse event (AE) thereafter was grade 1 or 2 nausea, anorexia and fatigue. These and other AEs were manageable with supportive care implementation. The presence of an SF3B1 mutation was significantly associated with response to selinexor (p=0.02) and correlative studies suggest splicing alterations were induced by selinexor and affected inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB. CONCLUSIONS Selinexor is safe and tolerable in MDS when given at 60mg twice weekly for two weeks with one week off. Responses were enriched in SF3B1 mutated patients.
