Phase II trial of dacomitinib, a pan-human EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in recurrent glioblastoma patients with EGFR amplification.

ABSTRACT: Background:We conducted a multicenter, 2-stage, open-label, phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of dacomitinib in adult patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GB) and epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) amplification with or without variant III (EGFRvIII) deletion. Methods:Patients with first recurrence were enrolled in 2 cohorts. Cohort A included patients with EGFR gene amplification without EGFRvIII mutation. Cohort B included patients with EGFR gene amplification and EGFRvIII mutation. Dacomitinib was administered (45 mg/day) until disease progression/unacceptable adverse events (AEs). Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS; RANO criteria) at 6 months (PFS6). Results:Thirty patients in Cohort A and 19 in Cohort B were enrolled. Median age was 59 years (range 39-81), 65.3% were male, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0/1/2 were 10.2%/65.3%/24.5%, respectively. PFS6 was 10.6% (Cohort A: 13.3%; Cohort B: 5.9%) with a median PFS of 2.7 months (Cohort A: 2.7 mo; Cohort B: 2.6 mo). Four patients were progression free at 6 months and 3 patients were so at 12 months. Median overall survival was 7.4 months (Cohort A: 7.8 mo; Cohort B: 6.7 mo). The best overall response included 1 complete response and 2 partial responses (4.1%). Stable disease was observed in 12 patients (24.5%: eight in Cohort A and four in Cohort B). Diarrhea and rash were the most common AEs; 20 (40.8%) patients experienced grade 3-4 drug-related AEs. Conclusions:Dacomitinib has a limited single-agent activity in recurrent GB with EGFR amplification. The detailed molecular characterization of the 4 patients with response in this trial can be useful to select patients who could benefit from dacomitinib.

Project description:Glioblastoma is an incurable solid tumor characterized by increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We performed a phase II study of cediranib in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.Cediranib, an oral pan-VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was administered (45 mg/d) until progression or unacceptable toxicity to patients with recurrent glioblastoma. The primary end point was the proportion of patients alive and progression free at 6 months (APF6). We performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and plasma and urinary biomarker evaluations at multiple time points.Thirty-one patients with recurrent glioblastoma were accrued. APF6 after cediranib was 25.8%. Radiographic partial responses were observed by MRI in 17 (56.7%) of 30 evaluable patients using three-dimensional measurements and in eight (27%) of 30 evaluable patients using two-dimensional measurements. For the 15 patients who entered the study taking corticosteroids, the dose was reduced (n = 10) or discontinued (n = 5). Toxicities were manageable. Grade 3/4 toxicities included hypertension (four of 31; 12.9%); diarrhea (two of 31; 6.4%); and fatigue (six of 31; 19.4%). Fifteen (48.4%) of 31 patients required at least one dose reduction and 15 patients required temporary drug interruptions due to toxicity. Drug interruptions were not associated with outcome. Changes in plasma placental growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -2, soluble VEGF receptor 1, stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha, and soluble Tek/Tie2 receptor and in urinary MMP-9/neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin activity after cediranib were associated with radiographic response or survival.Cediranib monotherapy for recurrent glioblastoma is associated with encouraging proportions of radiographic response, 6-month progression-free survival, and a steroid-sparing effect with manageable toxicity. We identified early changes in circulating molecules as potential biomarkers of response to cediranib. The efficacy of cediranib and the predictive value of these candidate biomarkers will be explored in prospective trials.
