142 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy has shown limited clinical benefit in patients (pts) with prostate cancer, likely due to an immunologically “cold” tumor microenvironment. We report preplanned interim efficacy/safety for NIVO + IPI in pts with mCRPC from CheckMate 650. Methods: Asymptomatic/minimally symptomatic pts who progressed after 2nd-generation hormone therapy and have not received chemotherapy for mCRPC (cohort 1) and pts who progressed after taxane-based chemotherapy (cohort 2) were included. Treatment was NIVO 1 mg/kg + IPI 3 mg/kg Q3W for 4 doses, then NIVO 480 mg every 4 weeks. Coprimary endpoints: objective response rate (ORR) and radiographic PFS per PCWG2. Safety is a secondary endpoint. Exploratory endpoints include correlation of biomarkers with efficacy. Results: 78 pts had a minimum follow-up of 6 months; among pts with baseline measurable disease, ORR was 26% and 10% in cohorts 1 and 2 (Table). In both cohorts, ORR was higher in pts with PD-L1 ≥1%, DNA damage repair (DDR), homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), or above-median tumor mutational burden (TMB). Of all PSA responding pts (Table), 4 had PSA <0.2 ng/mL. Grade 3–4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 39% and 51% of pts in cohorts 1 and 2; one grade 5 event occurred in each cohort. Conclusions: In a malignancy where immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy has previously shown limited success, NIVO + IPI demonstrated activity in pretreated pts with mCRPC, particularly in a biomarker-enriched population, with a safety profile consistent with this dosing schedule. Further study is warranted. Clinical trial information: NCT02985957. [Table: see text]
Purpose CS-1008 (tigatuzumab) is a humanized, monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) agonistic antibody to human death receptor 5. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of CS-1008 dose on the biodistribution, quantitative tumor uptake, and antitumor response in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients and Methods Patients with mCRC who had received at least one course of chemotherapy were assigned to one of five dosage cohorts and infused with a weekly dose of CS-1008. Day 1 and day 36 doses were trace-labeled with indium-111 (111In), followed by whole-body planar and regional single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging at several time points over the course of 10 days. Results Nineteen patients were enrolled. 111In-CS-1008 uptake in tumor was observed in only 12 patients (63%). 111In-CS-1008 uptake and pharmacokinetics were not affected by dose or repeated drug administration. 111In-CS-1008 biodistribution showed gradual blood-pool clearance and no abnormal uptake in normal tissue. No anti–CS-1008 antibody development was detected. One patient achieved partial response (3.7 months duration), eight patients had stable disease, and 10 patients had progressive disease. Clinical benefit rate (stable disease + partial response) in patients with 111In-CS-1008 uptake in tumor was 58% versus 28% in patients with no uptake. An analysis of individual lesions showed that lesions with antibody uptake were one third as likely to progress as those without antibody uptake (P = .07). Death-receptor–5 expression in archived tumor samples did not correlate with 111In-CS-1008 uptake (P = .5) or tumor response (P = .6). Conclusion Death-receptor–5 imaging with 111In-CS-1008 reveals interpatient and intrapatient heterogeneity of uptake in tumor, is not dose dependent, and is predictive of clinical benefit in the treatment of patients who have mCRC.
TPS212 Background: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgical resection is a current standard of care (SOC) for pts with E/GEJ cancer, with 3- and 5-year survival rates ranging from 30% to 40%. Currently, no effective adjuvant SOC is available following resection. Expression of programmed death-1 (PD-1) ligands 1/2 (PD-L1/L2) has been associated with a poor prognosis in E/GEJ cancer, suggesting that PD-1 inhibition may improve outcomes. Nivo is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that targets PD-1, with demonstrated survival benefit in multiple tumor types and long-term responses in some patients. A phase 1/2 study of nivo monotherapy in chemotherapy-refractory pts with gastric/E/GEJ cancer demonstrated tumor regression, a median overall survival (OS) of 5 months, and a 12-month OS rate of 36% in pts with PD-L1+ and PD-L1- tumors (Janjigian Y, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2016;34:suppl; abstract 4010). This multinational, double-blind, phase 3 trial will evaluate nivo as an adjuvant therapy for pts with resected E/GEJ cancer (CheckMate 577; NCT02743494). Methods: In this study, an estimated 760 pts aged ≥ 18 years with stage II/III E/GEJ cancer are randomized to receive nivo or placebo. Prior to randomization, pts must have completed preoperative CRT followed by surgery and been diagnosed with residual pathological disease after being surgically rendered free of disease with negative margins following complete resection. Pts with stage 4 resectable disease, cervical esophageal cancer, or those who have not received concurrent CRT prior to surgery are not eligible for study enrollment. Primary endpoints are OS and disease-free survival. The secondary endpoint is OS rate at 1, 2, and 3 years. Clinical trial information: NCT02743494.
Through protein engineering and a novel pegylation strategy, a diabody specific to tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72) (PEG-AVP0458) has been created to optimize pharmacokinetics and bioavailability to tumor. We report the preclinical and clinical translation of PEG-AVP0458 to a first-in-human clinical trial of a diabody. Methods: Clinical translation followed characterization of PEG-AVP0458 drug product and preclinical biodistribution and imaging assessments of Iodine-124 trace labeled PEG-AVP0458 ( 124 I-PEG-AVP0458). The primary study objective of the first-in-human study was the safety of a single protein dose of 1.0 or 10 mg/m 2 124 I-PEG-AVP0458 in patients with TAG-72 positive relapsed/ metastatic prostate or ovarian cancer. Secondary study objectives were evaluation of the biodistribution, tumor uptake, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity. Patients were infused with a single-dose of 124 I labeled PEG-AVP0458 (3-5 mCi (111-185 MBq) for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, performed sequentially over a one-week period. Safety, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and immunogenicity were assessed up to 28 days after infusion. Results: PEG-AVP0458 was radiolabeled with 124 I and shown to retain high TAG-72 affinity and excellent targeting of TAG-72 positive xenografts by biodistribution analysis and PET imaging. In the first-in-human trial, no adverse events or toxicity attributable to 124 I-PEG-AVP0458 were observed. Imaging was evaluable in 5 patients, with rapid and highly specific targeting of tumor and minimal normal organ uptake, leading to high tumor:blood ratios. Serum concentration values of 124 I-PEG-AVP0458 showed consistent values between patients, and there was no significant difference in T½α and T½β between dose levels with mean (± SD) results of T½α = 5.10 ± 4.58 hours, T½β = 46.19 ± 13.06 hours. Conclusions: These data demonstrates the safety and feasibility of using pegylated diabodies for selective tumor imaging and potential delivery of therapeutic payloads in cancer patients.
