Everolimus and pasireotide for advanced and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Few treatment options are available for patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Based on preclinical and early clinical efficacy signals and lack of overlapping toxicity, we undertook this multicenter phase II trial to estimate efficacy and safety of everolimus and pasireotide in advanced HCC.Patients with advanced HCC not amenable to locoregional therapy and Child-Pugh A cirrhosis received everolimus 7.5 mg PO daily and pasireotide LAR 60 mg IM every 28 days. The primary endpoint was time to progression (TTP), with 26 events needed to evaluate if everolimus + pasireotide improved TTP from 2.8 to 4.4 months, with 80% power and an alpha of 0.05. Secondary endpoints included response as measured by RECIST modified for HCC, treatment-emergent adverse events, and overall survival.After 24 patients were enrolled, results of a randomized trial showing no benefit of everolimus in HCC were released prompting an unplanned interim analysis that found the conditional probability of rejecting the null hypothesis based on events in those patients was 0.08. Therefore accrual was halted. Patients had a median age of 59 years, 21 (88%) had BCLC stage C cancer, and 11 (46%) metastatic disease. Median TTP was 3.5 months (95% CI 2-5.8) and median survival 6.7 months (95% CI 6-infinity). Best response was stable disease in ten patients. Grade 3 hyperglycemia occurred in 6 (25%). There were no grade 4 treatment-emergent events.Despite promising early efficacy signals, we found no benefit for the combination of everolimus and pasireotide in HCC.

Project description:Nivolumab, a programmed death 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor, was associated with encouraging overall survival in uncontrolled studies involving previously treated patients with advanced renal-cell carcinoma. This randomized, open-label, phase 3 study compared nivolumab with everolimus in patients with renal-cell carcinoma who had received previous treatment.A total of 821 patients with advanced clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma for which they had received previous treatment with one or two regimens of antiangiogenic therapy were randomly assigned (in a 1:1 ratio) to receive 3 mg of nivolumab per kilogram of body weight intravenously every 2 weeks or a 10-mg everolimus tablet orally once daily. The primary end point was overall survival. The secondary end points included the objective response rate and safety.The median overall survival was 25.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 21.8 to not estimable) with nivolumab and 19.6 months (95% CI, 17.6 to 23.1) with everolimus. The hazard ratio for death with nivolumab versus everolimus was 0.73 (98.5% CI, 0.57 to 0.93; P=0.002), which met the prespecified criterion for superiority (P?0.0148). The objective response rate was greater with nivolumab than with everolimus (25% vs. 5%; odds ratio, 5.98 [95% CI, 3.68 to 9.72]; P<0.001). The median progression-free survival was 4.6 months (95% CI, 3.7 to 5.4) with nivolumab and 4.4 months (95% CI, 3.7 to 5.5) with everolimus (hazard ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.75 to 1.03; P=0.11). Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 19% of the patients receiving nivolumab and in 37% of the patients receiving everolimus; the most common event with nivolumab was fatigue (in 2% of the patients), and the most common event with everolimus was anemia (in 8%).Among patients with previously treated advanced renal-cell carcinoma, overall survival was longer and fewer grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred with nivolumab than with everolimus.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral studies have demonstrated the antitumor activity of first-generation somatostatin analogs (SSAs), primarily targeting somatostatin receptor (sstr) subtypes 2 and 5, in neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Pasireotide, a second-generation SSA, targets multiple sstr subtypes. We compared the efficacy and safety of pasireotide plus everolimus to everolimus alone in patients with advanced, well-differentiated, progressive pancreatic NET.Patients and methodsPatients were randomized 1 : 1 to receive a combination of everolimus (10 mg/day, orally) and pasireotide long-acting release (60 mg/28 days, intramuscularly) or everolimus alone (10 mg/day, orally); stratified by prior SSA use, and baseline serum chromogranin A and neuron-specific enolase. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included overall survival, objective response rate, disease control rate, and safety. Biomarker response was evaluated in an exploratory analysis.ResultsOf 160 patients enrolled, 79 were randomized to the combination arm and 81 to the everolimus arm. Baseline demographics and disease characteristics were similar between the treatment arms. No significant difference was observed in PFS: 16.8 months in combination arm versus 16.6 months in everolimus arm (hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.64-1.54). Partial responses were observed in 20.3% versus 6.2% of patients in combination arm versus everolimus arm; however, overall disease control rate was similar (77.2% versus 82.7%, respectively). No significant improvement was observed in median overall survival. Adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of both the drugs; grade 3 or 4 fasting hyperglycemia was seen in 37% versus 11% of patients, respectively.ConclusionsThe addition of pasireotide to everolimus was not associated with the improvement in PFS compared with everolimus alone in this study. Further studies to delineate mechanisms by which SSAs slow tumor growth in NET are warranted.
