Adoptive immunotherapy with haploidentical natural killer cells and Anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody m3F8 for resistant neuroblastoma: Results of a phase I study.

ABSTRACT: Natural killer (NK) cell-mediated antibody-dependent toxicity is a potent mechanism of action of the anti-GD2 murine monoclonal antibody 3F8 (m3F8). Killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) and HLA genotypes modulate NK activity and are key prognostic markers in m3F8-treated patients with neuroblastoma. Endogenous NK-cells are suppressed in the setting of high tumor burden and chemotherapy. Allogeneic NK-cells however, demonstrate potent anti-neuroblastoma activity. We report on the results of a phase I clinical trial of haploidentical NK-cells plus m3F8 administered to patients with high-risk neuroblastoma after conditioning chemotherapy. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated NK-cell dose (MTD). Secondary objectives included assessing anti-neuroblastoma activity and its relationship to donor-recipient KIR/HLA genotypes, NK function, and donor NK chimerism. Patients received a lymphodepleting regimen prior to infusion of haploidentical CD3-CD56+ NK-cells, followed by m3F8. Overall and progression free survival (PFS) were assessed from the time of first NK-cell dose. Univariate Cox regression assessed relationship between dose and outcomes. Thirty-five patients received NK-cells at one of five dose levels ranging from <1×106 to 50×106 CD3-CD56+cells/kg. One patient experienced grade 3 hypertension and grade 4 pneumonitis. MTD was not reached. Ten patients (29%) had complete or partial response; 17 (47%) had no response; and eight (23%) had progressive disease. No relationship was found between response and KIR/HLA genotype or between response and Fc?RIII receptor polymorphisms. Patients receiving >10×106 CD56+cells/kg had improved PFS (HR: 0.36, 95%CI: 0.15-0.87, p = 0.022). Patient NK-cells displayed high NKG2A expression, leading to inhibition by HLA-E-expressing neuroblastoma cells. Adoptive NK-cell therapy in combination with m3F8 is safe and has anti-neuroblastoma activity at higher cell doses.

Project description:Purpose: Anti-GD2 mAbs, acting via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, may enhance the effects of chemotherapy. This pilot trial investigated a fixed dose of a unique anti-GD2 mAb, hu14.18K322A, combined with chemotherapy, cytokines, and haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells.Experimental Design: Children with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma received up to six courses of hu14.18K322A (40 mg/m2/dose, days 2-5), GM-CSF, and IL2 with chemotherapy: cyclophosphamide/topotecan (courses 1,2), irinotecan/temozolomide (courses 3,4), and ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide (courses 5,6). Parentally derived NK cells were administered with courses 2, 4, and 6. Serum for pharmacokinetic studies of hu14.18K322A, soluble IL2 receptor alpha (sIL2Rα) levels, and human antihuman antibodies (HAHA) were obtained.Results: Thirteen heavily pretreated patients (9 with prior anti-GD2 therapy) completed 65 courses. One patient developed an unacceptable toxicity (grade 4 thrombocytopenia >35 days). Four patients discontinued treatment for adverse events (hu14.18K322A allergic reaction, viral infection, surgical death, second malignancy). Common toxicities included grade 3/4 myelosuppression (13/13 patients) and grade 1/2 pain (13/13 patients). Eleven patients received 29 NK-cell infusions. The response rate was 61.5% (4 complete responses, 1 very good partial response, 3 partial responses) and five had stable disease. The median time to progression was 274 days (range, 239-568 days); 10 of 13 patients (77%) survived 1 year. Hu14.18K322A pharmacokinetics was not affected by chemotherapy or HAHA. All patients had increased sIL2Rα levels, indicating immune activation.Conclusions: Chemotherapy plus hu14.18K322A, cytokines, and NK cells is feasible and resulted in clinically meaningful responses in patients with refractory/recurrent neuroblastoma. Further studies of this approach are warranted in patients with relapsed and newly diagnosed neuroblastoma. Clin Cancer Res; 23(21); 6441-9. ©2017 AACR.

Project description:BackgroundSince treatment of neuroblastoma (NB) with anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies provides a survival benefit in children with minimal residual disease and our preclinical study shows that anti-CD3 x anti-GD2 bispecific antibody (GD2Bi) armed T cells (GD2BATs) were highly cytotoxic to GD2+ cell lines, we conducted a phase I/II study in recurrent/refractory patients to establish safety and explore the clinical benefit of GD2BATs.MethodsThe 3+3 dose escalation study (NCT02173093) phase I involved 9 evaluable patients with NB (n=5), osteosarcoma (OST) (n=3), and desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCT) (n=1) with twice weekly infusions of GD2BATs at 40, 80, or 160 x 106 GD2BATs/kg/infusion with daily interleukin 2 (300,000 IU/m2) and twice weekly granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (250 μg/m2). Phase II portion of the trial was conducted in patients with NB at the dose 3 level of 160 x 106 GD2BATs/kg/infusion but failed to enroll the planned number of patients.ResultsNine of 12 patients in the phase I completed therapy. There were no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). All patients developed mild and manageable cytokine release syndrome (CRS) with grade 2-3 fevers/chills, headaches, and occasional hypotension up to 72 hours after GD2BAT infusions. GD2-antibody associated pain was not significant in this study. The median OS for patients in the Phase I and limited Phase II was 18.0 and 31.2 months, respectively, whereas the combined OS was 21.1 months. There was a complete bone marrow response with overall stable disease in one of the phase I patients with NB. Ten of 12 phase II patients were evaluable for response: 1 had partial response. Three additional patients were deemed to have clinical benefit with prolonged stable disease. More than 50% of evaluable patients showed augmented immune responses to GD2+ targets after GD2BATs as measured by interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) EliSpots, Th1 cytokines, and/or chemokines.ConclusionsOur study demonstrated safety of up to 160 x 106 cells/kg/infusion of GD2BATs. Combined with evidence for the development of post treatment endogenous immune responses, this data supports further investigation of GD2 BATs in larger Phase II clinical trials.
