OKN-007 Increases temozolomide (TMZ) Sensitivity and Suppresses TMZ-Resistant Glioblastoma (GBM) Tumor Growth.

ABSTRACT: Treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) remains a challenge using conventional chemotherapy, such as temozolomide (TMZ), and is often ineffective as a result of drug resistance. We have assessed a novel nitrone-based agent, OKN-007, and found it to be effective in decreasing tumor volumes and increasing survival in orthotopic GBM xenografts by decreasing cell proliferation and angiogenesis and increasing apoptosis. In this study, we assessed combining OKN-007 with TMZ in vivo in a human G55 GBM orthotopic xenograft model and in vitro in TMZ-resistant and TMZ-sensitive human GBM cell lines. For the in vivo studies, magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess tumor growth and vascular alterations. Percent animal survival was also determined. For the in vitro studies, cell growth, IC50 values, RNA-seq, RT-PCR, and ELISA were used to assess growth inhibition, possible mechanism-of actions (MOAs) associated with combined OKN-007?+?TMZ versus TMZ alone, and gene and protein expression levels, respectively. Microarray analysis of OKN-007-treated rat F98 glioma tumors was also carried out to determine possible MOAs of OKN-007 in glioma-bearing animals either treated or not treated with OKN-007. OKN-007 seems to elicit its effect on GBM tumors via inhibition of tumorigenic TGF-?1, which affects the extracellular matrix. When combined with TMZ, OKN-007 significantly increases percent survival, decreases tumor volumes, and normalizes tumor blood vasculature in vivo compared to untreated tumors and seems to affect TMZ-resistant GBM cells possibly via IDO-1, SUMO2, and PFN1 in vitro. Combined OKN-007?+?TMZ may be a potentially potent treatment strategy for GBM patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND: RANO criteria were applied to evaluate differences in response between the 2 arms: TMZ or TMZ + BEV in a randomized study. We evaluate here the RANO sub-criterion (PI) to evaluate response. METHODS: Between December 2009 and April 2013, p with unresectable GBM, PS < 3 and MMS ?25 were randomly assigned to receive eitherTMZ (200 mg/m2, days 1–5,for 2 28-day cycles), followed by standard TMZ with concomitant radiotherapy (60Gy) and then adjuvant TMZ for 6 cycles (TMZ Arm), or the same regimen but with the addition of BEV (10mg/kg /15 days) during pre-radiotherapy and concomitant treatment (BEV Arm). The primary endpoint was response according to RANO criteria after the 2 pre-radiotherapy cycles. The study was powered to detect a 30% difference between arms. A centralized revision of MRI's blinded to clinical status of p is ongoing. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01102595). RESULTS:103 p were registered and 93 randomized – 45 to the TMZ Arm and 48 to the BEV Arm. All p who received at least one dose of treatment were included in the analysis. Overall response rate (ORR) was evaluated after the 2-pre-radiotherapy cycles. Patients completed pre-radiotherapy treatment in 48.9% (TMZ Arm) vs 66.7% (BEV Arm), p = 0.08. Response was not evaluable in 3p (TMZ arm) and 5p (BEV arm) because of previous toxicity or refuse to continue. ORR by RANO criteria for evaluable p was: Arm TMZ: PR 3 (7.1%) SD 8 (19%) PD 31 (73.8%)., Arm B: PR 11 (25.6%) SD 17 (39.5%) 15 (34.9%) P = 0.001. Response by individual RANO sub criterion (Arm TMZ% vs Arm BEV%).1- MRI IP: PR (8.3 vs 26.2), SD (22.2 vs 42.8), P (69.4 vs 31) (P = 0.003), 2-Neurological status: SD (54.8 vs 79.5), No SD (45.2 vs 20.5) (P = 0.014), 3-Dexametasone dose: stable (60.5 vs 51.2), increase (28.9 vs 4.7), reduction (10.5 vs 44.2) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: ORR was significantly higher in the BEV Arm for both for general RANO criteria as for each individual criterion (MRI, clinical stability and dexametasone doses.
