A randomized phase II trial of ridaforolimus, dalotuzumab, and exemestane compared with ridaforolimus and exemestane in patients with advanced breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To evaluate whether adding humanized monoclonal insulin growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) antibody (dalotuzumab) to mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor (ridaforolimus) plus aromatase inhibitor (exemestane) improves outcomes in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced/metastatic breast cancer. METHODS:This randomized, open-label, phase II trial enrolled 80 postmenopausal women with high-proliferation (Ki67 index staining ?15%), ER-positive breast cancer that progressed after a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NCT01605396). Randomly assigned patients were given oral ridaforolimus 10 mg QD 5 ×/week, intravenous dalotuzumab 10 mg/kg/week, and oral exemestane 25 mg/day (R/D/E, n = 40), or ridaforolimus 30 mg QD 5 ×/week and exemestane 25 mg/day (R/E; n = 40). Primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS:Median PFS was 23.3 weeks for R/D/E versus 31.9 weeks for R/E (hazard ratio 1.18; 80% CI 0.81-1.72; P = 0.565). Grade 3-5 adverse events were reported in 67.5% of patients in the R/E arm and 59.0% in the R/D/E arm. Stomatitis (95.0 vs. 76.9%; P = 0.021) and pneumonitis (22.5 vs. 5.1%; P = 0.027) occurred more frequently in the R/E than the R/D/E arm; hyperglycemia (27.5 vs. 28.2%) occurred at a similar rate. CONCLUSIONS:R/D/E did not improve PFS compared with R/E. Because the PFS reported for R/E was similar to that reported for everolimus plus exemestane in patients with advanced breast cancer, it is possible that lower-dose ridaforolimus in the R/D/E arm (from overlapping toxicities with IGF1R inhibitor) contributed to lack of improved PFS.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to confirm the efficacy and safety of the oral histone deacetylase inhibitor entinostat in Japanese patients with hormone receptor-positive advanced/recurrent breast cancer and to explore potential biomarkers.MethodsThis phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT03291886) was conducted at 28 Japanese sites (September 2017-July 2020; interim analysis cutoff: April 2019). Patients with progression/relapse following non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors were randomized 1:1 to entinostat (5 mg/week) or placebo, plus exemestane (25 mg/day). Primary endpoint was progression-free survival; secondary endpoints included overall survival and safety. Exploratory biomarker outcomes included lysine acetylation, immune cell profiles, estrogen receptor 1 mutations and plasma chemokines.ResultsOf 133 randomized patients, 131 (65 entinostat, 66 placebo) who received study drug were analyzed. Median (95% confidence interval) progression-free survival was 5.8 (3.2-7.8) months for entinostat and 3.3 (3.1-5.8) months for placebo (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.75 [0.50 - 1.14]; P = 0.189). Median overall survival was not reached in either group. Entinostat tended to prolong progression-free survival in patients aged ≥65 years, not endocrine resistant, or with estrogen receptor 1 Y537S mutation. Candidate biomarkers of efficacy (progression-free survival) included lysine acetylation in CD3+ cells, plasma interferon gamma-induced protein 10, dendritic cell CD86 expression, and CD4+ cell expression of human leukocyte antigen-DR and inducible T-cell co-stimulator. Safety was similar to non-Japanese populations; however, seven entinostat-treated patients (10.8%) had reversible lung injury.ConclusionsIn Japanese patients, the safety of entinostat plus exemestane was acceptable and progression-free survival was prolonged, although not significantly. Exploratory analyses identified potential biomarkers, including lysine acetylation, of efficacy.

Project description:Introduction: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) represents a key downstream intermediate for a myriad of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases. In the case of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, the mTOR complex (mTORC1) mediates IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)-induced estrogen receptor alpha (ERÎ±) phosphorylation/activation and leads to increased proliferation and growth in breast cancer cells. As a result, the prevalence of mTOR inhibitors combined with hormonal therapy has increased in recent years. Conversely, activated mTORC1 provides negative feedback regulation of IGF signaling via insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1/2 serine phosphorylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Thus, the IGF pathway may provide escape (e.g. de novo or acquired resistance) from mTORC1 inhibitors. It is therefore plausible that combined inhibition of mTORC1 and IGF-1R for select subsets of ER-positive breast cancer patients presents as a viable therapeutic option. Methods: Using hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells stably transfected with the aromatase gene (MCF-7/AC-1), works presented herein describe the in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy of the following compounds: dalotuzumab (DALO; âMK-0646â; anti-IGF-1R antibody), ridaforolimus (RIDA; âMK-8669â; mTORC1 small molecule inhibitor) and letrozole (âLETâ, aromatase inhibitor). Results: With the exception of MK-0646, all single agent and combination treatment arms effectively inhibited xenograft tumor growth, albeit to varying degrees. Correlative tissue analyses revealed MK-0646 alone and in combination with LET induced insulin receptor alpha A (InsR-A) isoform upregulation (both mRNA and protein expression), thereby further supporting a triple therapy approach. Conclusion: These data provide preclinical rationalization towards the combined triple therapy of LET plus MK-0646 plus MK-8669 as an efficacious anti-tumor strategy for ER-positive breast tumors. 46 samples, 28 days post treatment
