A phase 1b, open-label study of trebananib plus bevacizumab or motesanib in patients with solid tumours.

ABSTRACT: To examine the angiopoietin pathway inhibitor trebananib IV plus the anti-VEGF agents bevacizumab or motesanib in advanced solid tumours.In this open-label phase 1b study, patients received IV trebananib 3 mg kg-1 QW plus bevacizumab 15 mg kg-1 Q3W (cohort 1) or motesanib orally 75 mg (cohort 2); or trebananib 10 mg kg-1 plus bevacizumab 15 mg kg-1 (cohort 3) or motesanib 125 mg (cohort 4). If <33% of patients had dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), dose escalation occurred. Endpoints were treatment-related adverse events (AEs) incidence and pharmacokinetics (primary); anti-trebananib antibodies, biomarkers, and tumour response (secondary).Thirty-six patients received ? 1 dose of trebananib (cohorts 1, 2, 3, 4; n = 6, 8, 19, 3). DLT of G3 intestinal perforation and G3 tumor haemorrhage occurred in cohorts 2 and 3, respectively (both n = 1). Across both trebananib plus bevacizumab cohorts, the most common AEs included fatigue (n = 8), diarrhoea (n =4), constipation (n = 3), nausea (n = 3), and epistaxis (n = 3). Three patients across those cohorts had grade ? 3 AEs. Across the trebananib plus motesanib cohorts, the most common AEs included hypertension (n = 4), diarrhoea (n = 4), nausea (n = 3), fatigue (n = 3), vomiting (n = 2), and decreased appetite (n = 2). Two patients had grade ? 3 AEs. Trebananib did not markedly affect motesanib pharmacokinetics. Across the trebananib plus bevacizumab cohorts, two patients had a partial response; 11 patients had stable disease lasting >6 months. Across the trebananib plus motesanib cohorts, one patient had a partial response; five patients had stable disease lasting >6 months.Trebananib IV 3 mg kg-1 or 10 mg kg-1 plus bevacizumab or motesanib in advanced solid tumours may be associated with less severe toxicities relative to those emerging when combining two anti-VEGF agents.

Project description:BACKGROUND:NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 gene fusions (NTRK gene fusions) occur in a range of adult cancers. Larotrectinib is a potent and highly selective ATP-competitive inhibitor of TRK kinases and has demonstrated activity in patients with tumours harbouring NTRK gene fusions. PATIENTS AND METHODS:This multi-centre, phase I dose escalation study enrolled adults with metastatic solid tumours, regardless of NTRK gene fusion status. Key inclusion criteria included evaluable and/or measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-2, and adequate organ function. Larotrectinib was administered orally once or twice daily, on a continuous 28-day schedule, in increasing dose levels according to a standard 3?+?3 dose escalation scheme. The primary end point was the safety of larotrectinib, including dose-limiting toxicity. RESULTS:Seventy patients (8 with tumours with NTRK gene fusions; 62 with tumours without a documented NTRK gene fusion) were enrolled to 6 dose cohorts. There were four dose-limiting toxicities; none led to study drug discontinuation. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Larotrectinib-related adverse events were predominantly grade 1; none were grade 4 or 5. The most common grade 3 larotrectinib-related adverse event was anaemia [4 (6%) of 70 patients]. A dose of 100?mg twice daily was recommended for phase II studies based on tolerability and antitumour activity. In patients with evaluable TRK fusion cancer, the objective response rate by independent review was 100% (eight of the eight patients). Eight (12%) of the 67 assessable patients overall had an objective response by investigator assessment. Median duration of response was not reached. Larotrectinib had limited activity in tumours with NTRK mutations or amplifications. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed exposure was generally proportional to administered dose. CONCLUSIONS:Larotrectinib was well tolerated, demonstrated activity in all patients with tumours harbouring NTRK gene fusions, and represents a new treatment option for such patients.

Project description:BackgroundMitochondria present an emerging target for cancer treatment. We have investigated the effect of mitochondrially targeted tamoxifen (MitoTam), a first-in-class anti-cancer agent, in patients with solid metastatic tumours.MethodsMitoTam was tested in an open-label, single-centre (Department of Oncology, General Faculty Hospital, Charles University, Czech Republic), phase I/Ib trial in metastatic patients with various malignancies and terminated oncological therapies. In total, 75 patients were enrolled between May 23, 2018 and July 22, 2020. Phase I evaluated escalating doses of MitoTam in two therapeutic regimens using the 3 + 3 design to establish drug safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In phase Ib, three dosing regimens were applied over 8 and 6 weeks to evaluate long-term toxicity of MitoTam as the primary objective and its anti-cancer effect as a secondary objective. This trial was registered with the European Medicines Agency under EudraCT 2017-004441-25.FindingsIn total, 37 patients were enrolled into phase I and 38 into phase Ib. In phase I, the initial application of MitoTam via peripheral vein indicated high risk of thrombophlebitis, which was avoided by central vein administration. The highest dose with acceptable side effects was 5.0 mg/kg. The prevailing adverse effects (AEs) in phase I were neutropenia (30%), anaemia (30%) and fever/hyperthermia (30%), and in phase Ib fever/hyperthermia (58%) together with anaemia (26%) and neutropenia (16%). Serious AEs were mostly related to thromboembolic (TE) complications that affected 5% and 13% of patients in phase I and Ib, respectively. The only statistically significant AE related to MitoTam treatment was anaemia in phase Ib (p = 0.004). Of the tested regimens weekly dosing with 3.0 mg/kg for 6 weeks afforded the best safety profile with almost all being grade 1 (G1) AEs. Altogether, five fatalities occurred during the study, two of them meeting criteria for Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Events Reporting (SUSAR) (G4 thrombocytopenia and G5 stroke). MitoTam showed benefit evaluated as clinical benefit rate (CBR) in 37% patients with the largest effect in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) where four out of six patients reached disease stabilisation (SD), one reached partial response (PR) so that in total, five out of six (83%) patients showed CBR.InterpretationIn this study, the MTD was established as 5.0 mg/kg and the recommended dose of MitoTam as 3.0 mg/kg given once per week via central vein with recommended preventive anti-coagulation therapy. The prevailing toxicity included haematological AEs, hyperthermia/fever and TE complications. One fatal stroke and non-fatal G4 thrombocytopenia were recorded. MitoTam showed high efficacy against RCC.FundingSmart Brain Ltd.TranslationFor the Czech translation of the abstract see Supplementary Materials section.

Project description:IntroductionAtezolizumab plus bevacizumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) versus sorafenib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in IMbrave150. Efficacy and safety data from the Chinese subpopulation are reported.MethodsIMbrave150, a global, randomized, open-label, phase 3 study in patients with systemic treatment-naive unresectable HCC, included an extension phase that enrolled additional patients from mainland China. Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive intravenous atezolizumab 1,200 mg plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg once every 3 weeks or sorafenib 400 mg twice a day until unacceptable toxicity or loss of clinical benefit. Co-primary endpoints were OS and independent review facility-assessed PFS per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 in the intention-to-treat population.ResultsOf 194 Chinese patients enrolled from April 16, 2018, to April 8, 2019 (137 in the global study and 57 in the China extension phase), 133 received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and 61 received sorafenib. At the data cutoff (August 29, 2019), the stratified hazard ratio for OS was 0.44 (95% CI, 0.25-0.76) and for PFS was 0.60 (95% CI, 0.40-0.90). The respective median OS and PFS with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab were not reached (NR; 95% CI, 13.5 months to NR) and 5.7 months (95% CI, 4.2-8.3) versus 11.4 months (95% CI, 6.7 to NR) and 3.2 months (95% CI, 2.6-4.8) with sorafenib. Grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 78 of 132 (59.1%) atezolizumab plus bevacizumab-treated and 27 of 58 (46.6%) sorafenib-treated patients. The most common grade 3-4 AE with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab was hypertension, occurring in 15.2% of patients; however, other high-grade AEs were infrequent.ConclusionClinically meaningful improvements in OS and PFS observed with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib suggest that atezolizumab plus bevacizumab may become a practice-changing treatment for Chinese patients with unresectable HCC.
