Phase 1 dose-escalation trial of clofarabine followed by escalating dose of fractionated cyclophosphamide in adults with relapsed or refractory acute leukaemias.

ABSTRACT: The prognosis of patients with relapsed and refractory acute leukaemia (RRAL) is very poor. Forty patients with RRAL were enroled [28 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), 12 acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)] in this Phase 1 dose-escalation trial of daily-infused clofarabine (CLO) followed by cyclophosphamide (CY) for four consecutive days (CLO-CYx4). The median age was 48·5 years. The median number of prior regimens was 2 (range 1-5), and 6/40 patients (15%) had prior allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant. 28/40 patients (70%) had adverse genetic features. 6/40 patients (15%) died within 60 d of induction (two infections, four progressive disease). The average time to neutrophil recovery (absolute neutrophil count ?0·5 × 10(9) /l was 34 d, (range, 17-78). The overall response rate (ORR) was 33% (13/40), with seven complete remissions (18%), four complete remissions with incomplete recovery of blood counts (10%), and two partial remissions (5%). ORR was 25% (7/28), and 50% (6/12), for AML and ALL respectively. Notably, the clinical responses were independent of dose level. 7/17 patients (41%) exhibited CLO-mediated enhancement of CY-induced DNA, which was associated with, but not necessary for, improved clinical outcomes. In summary, the CLO-CYx4 regimen was well tolerated and had activity in patients with RRAL, especially relapsed ALL. Therefore, CLO-CYx4 can be considered a salvage therapy for adults with RRALs, and warrants further investigations.

Project description:LESSONS LEARNED:Clofarabine can be active in relapsed and refractory lymphoid malignancies on a weekly dosing schedule.Responses were seen in patients with T-cell lymphomas, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, but not in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas. BACKGROUND:Clofarabine is a second-generation purine nucleoside analog currently approved for the treatment of pediatric relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In adults, clofarabine has been investigated in several phase I and II trials as a single agent and in combination for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia. These studies have shown that clofarabine has activity and an acceptable safety profile in patients with hematological malignancies. In this phase I dose escalation trial, clofarabine was evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory, low-grade or intermediate-grade, B-cell or T-cell lymphoma. METHODS:The starting dose of 10 mg/m2 per week was administered intravenously (IV) for 3 consecutive weeks every 28 days, and doses were escalated in cohorts of three. The study objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), characterize and quantify the toxicity profile, and determine the overall response rate of clofarabine administered once a week for 3 weeks and repeated every 4 weeks. Eligible patients were over the age of 18, had a histologically confirmed low-grade or intermediate-grade B-cell or T-cell lymphoma, and must have previously been treated with one standard chemotherapy regimen, excluding single-agent rituximab. The primary objectives included in statistical analyses were MTD, toxicity, and overall response rate (ORR). Four patients were enrolled in cohort 1 (clofarabine 10 mg/m2), four in cohort 2 (clofarabine 15 mg/m2), three in cohort 3 (clofarabine 20 mg/m2), two in cohort 4 (clofarabine 30 mg/m2), and one in cohort 5 (clofarabine 40 mg/m2) (Table 2). RESULTS:MTD was not reached in the study. The most common toxicity observed was myelosuppression. A total of four (29%) patients experienced grade 3 leukopenia, with three (21%) patients experiencing grade 4 neutropenia. The myelosuppression was not considered to be a dose-limiting toxicity, as it resolved within 7 days.Fourteen patients were enrolled: 10 patients with T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 4 patients with B-cell NHL (see Table 1). All 14 patients received at least one dose of clofarabine and were evaluable for response. One patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) had a partial response; five (36%) had stable disease, and eight patients (57%) had no response. The one patient with a response had stage III erythroderma and was treated in the 10 mg/m2 cohort; a nodal complete response by positron emission tomography scan was observed with a partial response of the skin. CONCLUSION:In this study, weekly administration of clofarabine was demonstrated to be safe and associated with minimal hematologic toxicity at doses ranging from 10-40 mg/m2. In prior studies when dosed daily for 5 consecutive days, the MTD was shown to be 4 mg/m2. Weekly dosing within this dose range did not result in dose modifications, and the MTD was not reached. Clinical efficacy was observed in one patient with CTCL who was treated in the lowest-dose cohort.

Project description:Survival in children with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia is unsatisfactory. Treatment consists of one course of fludarabine, cytarabine and liposomal daunorubicin, followed by fludarabine and cytarabine and stem-cell transplantation. Study ITCC 020/I-BFM 2009-02 aimed to identify the recommended phase II dose of clofarabine replacing fludarabine in the abovementioned combination regimen (3+3 design). Escalating dose levels of clofarabine (20-40 mg/m2/day × 5 days) and liposomal daunorubicin (40-80 mg/m2/day) were administered with cytarabine (2 g/m2/day × 5 days). Liposomal DNR was given on day 1, 3 and 5 only. The cohort at the recommended phase II dose was expanded to make a preliminary assessment of anti-leukemic activity. Thirty-four children were enrolled: refractory 1st (n=11), early 1st (n=15), ≥2nd relapse (n=8). Dose level 3 (30 mg/m2clofarabine; 60 mg/m2liposomal daunorubicin) appeared to be safe only in patients without subclinical fungal infections. Infectious complications were dose-limiting. The recommended phase II dose was 40 mg/m2 clofarabine with 60 mg/m2 liposomal daunorubicin. Side-effects mainly consisted of infections. The overall response rate was 68% in 31 response evaluable patients, and 80% at the recommended phase II dose (n=10); 22 patients proceeded to stem cell transplantation. The 2-year probability of event-free survival (pEFS) was 26.5±7.6 and probability of survival (pOS) 32.4±8.0%. In the 21 responding patients, the 2-year pEFS was 42.9±10.8 and pOS 47.6±10.9%. Clofarabine exposure in plasma was not significantly different from that in single-agent studies. In conclusion, clofarabine was well tolerated and showed high response rates in relapsed/refractory pediatric acute myeloid leukemia. Patients with (sub) clinical fungal infections should be treated with caution. Clofarabine has been taken forward in the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster study for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. The Study ITCC-020 was registered as EUDRA-CT 2009-009457-13; Dutch Trial Registry number 1880.

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:BackgroundANV419 is a stable antibody-cytokine fusion protein consisting of interleukin-2 (IL-2) fused to an anti-IL-2 monoclonal antibody that sterically hinders binding of IL-2 to the α subunit of its receptor but has selective affinity for the receptor βγ subunits. Thus, ANV419 preferentially stimulates CD8+ effector T cells and natural killer cells which are associated with tumor killing, while minimizing the activation of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells.MethodsANV419-001 is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ANV419. Secondary objectives were to characterize the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and tumor response. Adult patients with advanced solid tumors and disease progression after ≥1 previous line of systemic therapy were enrolled. ANV419 was administered by intravenous infusion once every 2 weeks, with a planned treatment duration of 12 months. The dose escalation part of the study explored doses 3, 6 and 12 µg/kg as single patient cohorts followed by 24-364 µg/kg in a 3+3 design. Interim results are reported here (data cut-off: March 22, 2023).ResultsForty patients were enrolled and received at least one dose of ANV419. The MTD and RP2D were determined to be 243 µg/kg. The most common ANV419-related treatment-emergent adverse events were Grade 1 and 2 fever (31 (77.5%)), chills (23 (57.5%), vomiting (14 (35.0%)), cytokine release syndrome and nausea (12 (30.0%) each). Transient and self-limiting lymphopenia due to lymphocyte redistribution was observed in all patients. In the RP2D cohort, Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia and fever were reported by one patient (12.5%) each. All events were manageable with standard supportive care. At doses of 243 µg/kg (RP2D/MTD), the estimated T1/2 was approximately 12 hours. At ANV419 doses ≥108 µg/kg, 64% of patients had a best response of at least SD (15 SD and 1 confirmed PR).ConclusionsANV419 at doses up to 243 µg/kg (the RP2D) was well tolerated and showed signs of antitumor activity in a heavily pretreated patient population with advanced solid tumors.Trial registration numberNCT04855929.
