Phase 1b trial of nintedanib in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors have produced demonstrable but limited benefit for various cancers. One mechanism of resistance includes revascularization, secondary to upregulation of alternative pro-angiogenic platelet-derived growth factor receptor and fibroblast growth factor receptor pathways. Nintedanib is an oral, triple kinase inhibitor that blocks these pathways and may improve anti-tumor activity by overcoming resistance to anti-VEGF therapies. The primary objective of this first in-human study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nintedanib in combination with bevacizumab. METHODS:Patients were treated with escalating doses of nintedanib (150 mg or 200 mg oral twice daily) and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg once intravenously every 3 weeks) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity using standard 3?+?3 phase 1 design. Plasma levels of angiogenic biomarkers were correlated with clinical outcomes. RESULTS:Eighteen patients with advanced tumors [lung (n?=?9), colon (n?=?8), and cervical (n?=?1)] previously treated with at least two lines of chemotherapy including bevacizumab (n?=?9, 50%) were enrolled. The highest dose of nintedanib was 200 mg twice a day with no observed dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). Common adverse events (AE) were fatigue (grade 1-3) and diarrhea (grade 1-2). Durable clinical response was observed in 55% patients pretreated with bevacizumab (1 complete and 4 stable response). Better disease control was correlated with higher than median baseline values for VEFGR2 and E-selectin, and lower levels for SDF-1?. CONCLUSION:Nintedanib was well-tolerated with bevacizumab with no DLT. Significant clinical activity was observed, including in bevacizumab-pretreated patients, suggesting nintedanib can overcome bevacizumab resistance.

Project description:BackgroundCombination therapy with the administration of GW5074 and sorafenib significantly induced necrotic death in various cancer cells in vivo, as well as prolonging the survival of an animal disease model due to significant suppression of the primary and metastatic lesions. We sought to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of this co-administration therapy in patients with refractory advanced solid cancers.MethodsTwelve patients were enrolled. Eligible subjects received different dosages of GW5074 in one of the three dose cohorts (Cohort 1: 750 mg daily, Cohort 2: 1500 mg daily, Cohort 3: 750 mg twice daily) plus 200 mg of sorafenib daily to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLT) at phase 1. Furthermore, the expression level of phosphorylated DAPKS308 in primary tumor, metastatic tumor, and circulating tumor cells (CTC) were evaluated to investigate the relationship between biomarker and the efficacy profile.ResultsAmong the 12 enrolled patients in this phase 1 trial, most adverse effects (AE) were grade 1, with two being grade 3. The most frequent AE of all grades were weight loss and hypertension, occurring in 16.7% of participants. Eight patients (66.7%) had the disease controlled by receiving co-administration therapy of GW5074 and sorafenib. GW5074 was found to have poor absorption, as increasing the dosage did not result in a significant increase in the bioavailability of GW5074 in subjects. Furthermore, the expression level of phosphorylated DAPKS308 in tumor and CTCs were correlated with the disease control rate (DCR) and duration of response (DOR).ConclusionsCo-administration therapy of GW5074 and sorafenib demonstrated a favorable safety profile and showed anti-tumor activity in a variety of tumor types. However, the solubility of GW5074 is not satisfactory. A future phase 2a trial will be carried out using the new salted form that has been proven to be more effective.

Project description:ImportanceInhibition of the T-cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT)/poliovirus receptor pathway may amplify the antitumor immune response of atezolizumab in programmed death ligand 1-selected tumors.ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of the anti-TIGIT antibody tiragolumab and its combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.Design, setting, and participantsThe GO30103 open-label, first-in-human phase 1a/1b dose-escalation and dose-expansion nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted at 13 sites in 6 countries (Australia, Canada, France, Korea, Spain, and the US). The start dates were May 23, 2016, for phase 1a and October 11, 2016, for phase 1b. Patients were aged 18 years or older with measurable disease at baseline. The clinical cutoff date was October 1, 2021. Data analysis was performed on January 24, 2022.InterventionsPatients received fixed-dose intravenous tiragolumab on day 1 of each 21-day cycle (2 mg escalating to 1200 mg) in phase 1a, plus fixed-dose intravenous atezolizumab (1200 mg every 3 weeks) in phase 1b. Patients were treated until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or development of unacceptable toxicity.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end points included the safety, tolerability, and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of tiragolumab or combination tiragolumab plus atezolizumab. The secondary end point included the investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR). Counts and percentages are used for categorical variables, and medians and ranges are used for continuous variables.ResultsAmong the phase 1a (n = 24) and 1b (n = 49) dose-escalation cohorts, the median age was 60 (range, 40-77) and 54 (range, 25-81) years, respectively. More than half of patients were women (14 of 24 [58%] and 25 of 49 [51%]), and more than a third (10 [42%] and 18 [37%]) had received 4 or more prior cancer therapies. No dose-limiting toxicities occurred, and the maximum tolerated dose of tiragolumab was not reached (NR). The most frequent treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were fatigue (5 of 24 [21%]) in phase 1a and pruritus (5 of 49 [10%]) in phase 1b; the majority of AEs were grade 1 or 2. Immune-mediated AEs occurred in 4 of 24 (17%) and 29 of 49 (59%) patients during phases 1a and 1b, respectively (primarily grade 1 or 2). The RP2D of tiragolumab was 600 mg intravenously every 3 weeks, which was tested in phase 1b dose expansion. The confirmed ORR was 0% during phase 1a, with evidence of antitumor activity in 6% of patients (n = 3) during phase 1b. The safety profile of combination tiragolumab plus atezolizumab in phase 1b was similar in the dose-escalation and dose-expansion cohorts. The confirmed ORR was 46% (6 of 13) in the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohort (median duration of response [DOR], NR) and 28% (5 of 18) in the esophageal cancer (EC) cohort (median DOR, 15.2 [95% CI, 7.0 to NR] months).Conclusions and relevanceIn this nonrandomized controlled trial, tiragolumab was well tolerated with or without atezolizumab; no new safety signals were observed. Preliminary antitumor activity was demonstrated for the combination regimen in patients with cancer immunotherapy-naive metastatic NSCLC or EC.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02794571.
