Dataset Information

Updated clinical and biological information from the two-stage phase II study of imatinib mesylate in subjects with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Several studies support the notion that the kinase inhibitor Imatinib mesylate exerts off-target effects on cells of the immune system. After our first report of continuous daily oral administration in subjects with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma (NB, EudraCT: 2005-005778-63), here we update the clinical information and report additional information on potential surrogate markers for prediction of efficacy. Peripheral blood (PB) samples collected at study entry and after the first and second cycle of Imatinib mesylate treatment were tested for IFN-?, TNF-?, TGF-?, IL-10, CXCL12 and soluble (s) B7-H6 plasma levels. In addition, paired PB and bone marrow (BM) samples collected at study entry and after the second Imatinib cycle were evaluated for CXCL12, CXCR4 and NKp30 isoform mRNA levels. Correlation between each parameter level and response/outcome was then evaluated. Out of the six subjects still alive at the time of the first report, thee died after additional therapy, two for NB progression and one for a second malignancy. Three are presently alive and cured from NB at 10 years after the first Imatinib cycle. Of these, one achieved complete response (CR) during Imatinib treatment and never relapsed, one had a local relapse removed by surgery and the third received TVD as rescue therapy. Response and outcome were associated with low Imatinib exposure, whereas none of the tested immunological and molecular parameters was predictive of response/outcome. However, after Imatinib treatment NKp30 isoform mRNA levels significantly increase in BM samples, indicating that Imatinib mesylate exerted an off-target effect on NK cells in vivo. Imatinib mesylate efficacy in relapsed/refractory NB has been confirmed at a longer follow-up, supporting its inclusion in new Phase II trials for these subjects, that should envisage collection of samples to evaluate the predictive power of other potential surrogate markers of efficacy.

Project description:Background:The refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM) remains a big clinical challenge, due to its biological and clinical complexity. Leading hematologists have performed many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) worldwide, and their findings were summarized in a recently published network meta-analysis (NMA) but with certain limitations. Materials and methods:We performed an updated NMA of RCTs related to RRMM treatment, focusing on efficacy measures including the nonresponse rate (NRR), time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The PubMed database was searched. We extended the literature search strategy of a previous NMA to June 30, 2017 and included additional primary RCTs. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was calculated to rank the regimens. A weighted-average method was used to rank the regimens by summarizing SUCRAs across different outcome measures. Results:Finally, a total of 24 RCTs were included in this updated NMA. According to the result, the combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone showed better efficacy than other regimens in terms of NRR, TTP, and PFS (NRR: odds ratio [OR] =0.046, 95% credible interval [CrI] =[0.024, 0.085]; TTP: hazard ratio [HR] =0.14, 95% CrI =[0.092, 0.2]; PFS: HR =0.12, 95% CrI =[0.077, 0.18], compared with dexamethasone singlet). The combination of ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone showed better efficacy than other regimens in terms of OS (HR =0.30, 95% CrI =[0.17, 0.54], compared with dexamethasone). The combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone ranked first in terms of overall efficacy (weighted average of SUCRAs =0.920). Conclusion:The combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone may currently be the most effective regimen in the population of RRMM patients. Triplet regimens containing daratumumab, ixazomib, carfilzomib, or elotumumab plus lenalidomide and dexamethasone can be recommended as first-line therapies for RRMM patients.
