Low-dose decitabine-based chemoimmunotherapy for patients with refractory advanced solid tumors: a phase I/II report.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant DNA methylation is one of the main drivers of tumor initiation and progression. The reversibility of methylation modulation makes it an attractive target for novel anticancer therapies. Clinical studies have demonstrated that high-dose decitabine, a hypomethylating agent, results in some clinical benefits in patients with refractory advanced tumors; however, they are extremely toxic. Low doses of decitabine minimize toxicity while potentially improving the targeted effects of DNA hypomethylation. Based on these mechanisms, low-dose decitabine combined with chemoimmunotherapy may be a new treatment option for patients with refractory advanced tumors. We proposed the regimen of low-dose decitabine-based chemoimmunotherapy for patients with refractory advanced solid tumors. A favorable adverse event profile was observed in our trial that was highlighted by the finding that most of these adverse events were grades 1-2. Besides, the activity of our cohort was optimistic and the clinical benefit rate was up to 60%, and the median PFS was prolonged compared with PFS to previous treatment. We also identified a significant correlation between the PFS to previous treatment and clinical response. The low-dose DAC decitabine-based chemoimmunotherapy might be a promising protocol for improving the specificity and efficiency of patients with refractory advanced solid tumors. This trial is registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov database (identifier NCT01799083).

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.

Project description:BackgroundCombination therapy with the administration of GW5074 and sorafenib significantly induced necrotic death in various cancer cells in vivo, as well as prolonging the survival of an animal disease model due to significant suppression of the primary and metastatic lesions. We sought to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of this co-administration therapy in patients with refractory advanced solid cancers.MethodsTwelve patients were enrolled. Eligible subjects received different dosages of GW5074 in one of the three dose cohorts (Cohort 1: 750 mg daily, Cohort 2: 1500 mg daily, Cohort 3: 750 mg twice daily) plus 200 mg of sorafenib daily to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) at phase 1. Furthermore, the expression level of phosphorylated DAPKS308 in primary tumor, metastatic tumor, and circulating tumor cells (CTC) were evaluated to investigate the relationship between biomarker and the efficacy profile.ResultsAmong the 12 enrolled patients in this phase 1 trial, most adverse effects (AE) were grade 1, with two being grade 3. The most frequent AE of all grades were weight loss and hypertension, occurring in 16.7% of participants. Eight patients (66.7%) had the disease controlled by receiving co-administration therapy of GW5074 and sorafenib. GW5074 was found to have poor absorption, as increasing the dosage did not result in a significant increase in the bioavailability of GW5074 in subjects. Furthermore, the expression level of phosphorylated DAPKS308 in tumor and CTCs were correlated with the disease control rate (DCR) and duration of response (DOR).ConclusionsCo-administration therapy of GW5074 and sorafenib demonstrated a favorable safety profile and showed anti-tumor activity in a variety of tumor types. However, the solubility of GW5074 is not satisfactory. A future phase 2a trial will be carried out using the new salted form that has been proven to be more effective.
