Heat-shock protein peptide complex-96 vaccination for recurrent glioblastoma: a phase II, single-arm trial.

ABSTRACT: Outcomes for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are poor and may be improved by immunotherapy. We investigated the safety and efficacy of an autologous heat-shock protein peptide complex-96 (HSPPC-96) vaccine for patients with recurrent GBM.In this open-label, single-arm, phase II study, adult patients with surgically resectable recurrent GBM were given vaccine after gross total resection. The primary endpoint was overall survival at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, progression-free survival, safety, and immune profiling. Outcome analyses were performed in the intention-to-treat and efficacy populations.Between October 3, 2007 and October 24, 2011, 41 patients underwent gross total resection of recurrent GBM and received a median of 6 doses of HSPPC-96 vaccine. Following treatment, 90.2% of patients were alive at 6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 75.9-96.8) and 29.3% were alive at 12 months (95% CI: 16.6-45.7). Median overall survival was 42.6 weeks (95% CI: 34.7-50.5). Twenty-seven (66%) patients were lymphopenic prior to therapy, and patients with lymphocyte counts below the cohort median demonstrated decreased overall survival (hazard ratio: 4.0; 95% CI: 1.4-11.8; P = .012). There were no treatment-related deaths. There were 37 serious (grades 3-5) adverse events reported, with 17 attributable to surgical resection and a single grade 3 constitutional event related to the vaccine.The HSPPC-96 vaccine is safe and warrants further study of efficacy for the treatment of recurrent GBM. Significant pretreatment lymphopenia may impact the outcomes of immunotherapy and deserves additional investigation.

Project description:Abstract BACKGROUND Heat shock protein vaccines can be used to stimulate anti-tumor immune responses. An autologous vaccine (HSPPC-96) generated from patient resected tumors has been previously studied in single arm phase I/II trials for newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM. Based on promising survival in these studies, a randomized, multi-centered phase II trial of HSPPC-96 for recurrent GBM compared to bevacizumab was undertaken (NCT01814813). METHODS Patients with 1st/2nd recurrence of resectable GBM were enrolled and underwent surgery with generation of HSPPC-96 from autologous tumors. Post-operative eligibility included a volumetric extent of resection ≥90% (by central review) and sufficient tumor to generate a minimum of 4 vaccine doses. Patients were randomized (1:1:1) to receive HSPPC-96 vaccine followed by bevacizumab at subsequent progression vs. concurrent HSPPC-96 vaccine and bevacizumab vs. bevacizumab alone. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) aiming to detect a 36% reduction in HR with 85% power and alpha=0.1 for pooled HSPPC-96 groups vs. bevacizumab alone. Planned enrollment was 165 patients (n=55/arm). An interim analysis was pre-planned at 50% of events (65 deaths). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and adverse events. RESULTS At final analysis, 90 patients were enrolled with a distribution of 29:30:31. The study was terminated for futility after the interim analysis. In the intention to treat population, OS for the HSPPC-96 treated groups was 7.5 vs. 10.7 months for bevacizumab alone (HR=2.06 [95% CI 1.18–3.60], p=0.008). Among patients treated per protocol (n=73), OS for HSPPC-96 patients was 8.6 vs. 12.3 months (HR=1.99 [95% CI 1.03–3.81], p=0.03). Trends were similar for progression-free survival between groups. HSPPC-96 toxicity was well tolerated with no attributable serious adverse events. CONCLUSIONS The study failed to demonstrate a survival benefit for patients treated with HSPPC-96 alone or in combination with bevacizumab compared to bevacizumab alone. Correlative analyses are ongoing. SUPPORT: U10CA180882, U10CA180821, U10CA180868, U24CA196171.

Project description:PURPOSE:Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling is highly active in glioblastomas. We assessed pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of the pan-PI3K inhibitor buparlisib in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with PI3K pathway activation. METHODS:This study was a multicenter, open-label, multi-arm, phase II trial in patients with PI3K pathway-activated glioblastoma at first or second recurrence. In cohort 1, patients scheduled for re-operation after progression received buparlisib for 7 to 13 days before surgery to evaluate brain penetration and modulation of the PI3K pathway in resected tumor tissue. In cohort 2, patients not eligible for re-operation received buparlisib until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Once daily oral buparlisib 100 mg was administered on a continuous 28-day schedule. Primary end points were PI3K pathway inhibition in tumor tissue and buparlisib pharmacokinetics in cohort 1 and 6-month progression-free survival (PFS6) in cohort 2. RESULTS:Sixty-five patients were treated (cohort 1, n = 15; cohort 2, n = 50). In cohort 1, reduction of phosphorylated AKTS473 immunohistochemistry score was achieved in six (42.8%) of 14 patients, but effects on phosphoribosomal protein S6S235/236 and proliferation were not significant. Tumor-to-plasma drug level was 1.0. In cohort 2, four (8%) of 50 patients reached 6-month PFS6, and the median PFS was 1.7 months (95% CI, 1.4 to 1.8 months). The most common grade 3 or greater adverse events related to treatment were lipase elevation (n = 7 [10.8%]), fatigue (n = 4 [6.2%]), hyperglycemia (n = 3 [4.6%]), and elevated ALT (n = 3 [4.6%]). CONCLUSION:Buparlisib had minimal single-agent efficacy in patients with PI3K-activated recurrent glioblastoma. Although buparlisib achieved significant brain penetration, the lack of clinical efficacy was explained by incomplete blockade of the PI3K pathway in tumor tissue. Integrative results suggest that additional study of PI3K inhibitors that achieve more-complete pathway inhibition may still be warranted.
