A Phase I/II Multicenter Study of Single-Agent Foretinib as First-Line Therapy in Patients with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: This phase I/II single-arm study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and activity of foretinib, an oral multikinase inhibitor of MET, ROS, RON, AXL, TIE-2, and VEGFR2, in the first-line setting in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients.Experimental Design: In the phase I part, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients were dose escalated on foretinib (30-60 mg) every day using the standard 3+3 design. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined, an additional 32 patients were dosed at the MTD in the phase II expansion cohort for assessment of efficacy and safety. Exploratory analyses were conducted to assess potential biomarkers that might correlate with clinical efficacy and survival.Results: The MTD of foretinib was established as 30 mg every day. The most frequent adverse events were hypertension, decreased appetite, ascites, and pyrexia. When dosed at 30 mg every day in the first-line setting, foretinib demonstrated promising antitumor activity. According to the modified mRECIST, the objective response rate was 22.9%, the disease stabilization rate 82.9%, and the median duration of response 7.6 months. The median time to progression was 4.2 months and the median overall survival (OS) was 15.7 months. Fifteen candidate biomarkers whose levels in the circulation were significantly altered in response to foretinib treatment were elucidated. Multivariate analyses identified IL6 and IL8 as independent predictors of OS.Conclusions: Foretinib demonstrated promising antitumor activity and good tolerability in the first-line setting in Asian advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Baseline plasma levels of IL6 or IL8 might predict the response to foretinib. Clin Cancer Res; 23(10); 2405-13. ©2016 AACR.

Project description:Lessons learnedTrebananib leveraging anti-angiogenic mechanism that is distinct from the classic sorafenib anti-vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition did not demonstrate improved progression-free survival at 4 months in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).In support of previously reported high Ang-2 levels' association with poor outcome in HCC for patients, trebananib treatment with lower baseline Ang-2 at study entry was associated with improved overall survival to 22 months and may suggest future studies to be performed within the context of low baseline Ang-2.BackgroundAng-1 and Ang-2 are angiopoietins thought to promote neovascularization via activation of the Tie-2 angiopoietin receptor. Trebananib sequesters Ang-1 and Ang-2, preventing interaction with the Tie-2 receptor. Trebananib plus sorafenib combination has acceptable toxicity. Elevated Ang-2 levels are associated with poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsPatients with HCC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group ≤2, and Childs-Pugh A received IV trebananib at 10 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg weekly plus sorafenib 400 mg orally twice daily. The study was planned for ≥78% progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 4 months relative to 62% for sorafenib historical control (power = 80% α = 0.20). Secondary endpoints included safety, tolerability, overall survival (OS), and multiple biomarkers, including serum Ang-2.ResultsThirty patients were enrolled sequentially in each of the two nonrandomized cohorts. Demographics were comparable between the two arms and the historical controls. PFS rates at 4 months were 57% and 54% on the 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg trebananib cohorts, respectively. Median OS was 17 and 11 months, respectively. Grade 3 and above events noted in ≥10% of patients included fatigue, hypertension, diarrhea, liver failure, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, dyspnea, and hypophosphatemia. One death was due to hepatic failure. Serum Ang-2 dichotomized at the median was associated with improved OS in both cohorts.ConclusionThere was no improvement in PFS rate at 4 months in either cohort, when compared with sorafenib historical control.

Project description:BackgroundFor patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the first-line therapeutic options are still relatively limited, and treatment outcomes remain poor. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with toripalimab as first-line therapy for unresectable HCC.MethodsIn this single-arm, multicenter, phase II study (ALTER-H-003), patients with advanced HCC without previous systemic anticancer therapy were recruited. Eligible patients were given anlotinib (12 mg on days 1-14) combined with toripalimab (240 mg on day 1) in a 3-week cycle. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) by immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (irRECIST)/RECIST v1.1 and modified RECIST (mRECIST). Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.ResultsBetween January 2020 and Jul 2021, 31 eligible patients were treated and included in the full analysis set. At data cutoff (January 10, 2023), the ORR was 29.0% (95% CI: 12.1%-46.0%) by irRECIST/RECIST v1.1, and 32.3% (95% CI: 14.8%-49.7%) by mRECIST criteria, respectively. Confirmed DCR and median DoR by irRECIST/RECIST v1.1 and mRECIST criteria were 77.4 % (95% CI: 61.8%-93.0%) and not reached (range: 3.0-22.5+ months), respectively. Median PFS was 11.0 months (95% CI: 3.4-18.5 months) and median OS was 18.2 months (95% CI: 15.8-20.5 months). Of the 31 patients assessed for adverse events (AEs), the most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related AEs were hand-foot syndrome (9.7%, 3/31), hypertension (9.7%, 3/31), arthralgia (9.7%, 3/31), abnormal liver function (6.5%, 2/31), and decreased neutrophil counts (6.5%, 2/31).ConclusionsAnlotinib combined with toripalimab showed promising efficacy and manageable safety in Chinese patients with unresectable HCC in the first-line setting. This combination therapy may offer a potential new therapeutic approach for patients with unresectable HCC.
