Phase 1 trial of vocimagene amiretrorepvec and 5-fluorocytosine for recurrent high-grade glioma.

ABSTRACT: Toca 511 (vocimagene amiretrorepvec) is an investigational nonlytic, retroviral replicating vector (RRV) that delivers a yeast cytosine deaminase, which converts subsequently administered courses of the investigational prodrug Toca FC (extended-release 5-fluorocytosine) into the antimetabolite 5-fluorouracil. Forty-five subjects with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma were treated. The end points of this phase 1, open-label, ascending dose, multicenter trial included safety, efficacy, and molecular profiling; survival was compared to a matching subgroup from an external control. Overall survival for recurrent high-grade glioma was 13.6 months (95% confidence interval, 10.8 to 20.0) and was statistically improved relative to an external control (hazard ratio, 0.45; P = 0.003). Tumor samples from subjects surviving more than 52 weeks after Toca 511 delivery disproportionately displayed a survival-related mRNA expression signature, identifying a potential molecular signature that may correlate with treatment-related survival rather than being prognostic. Toca 511 and Toca FC show excellent tolerability, with RRV persisting in the tumor and RRV control systemically. The favorable assessment of Toca 511 and Toca FC supports confirmation in a randomized phase 2/3 trial (NCT02414165).

Project description:Background:Patients with recurrent glioma after prior radiotherapy have a poor prognosis. Carbon ion beam radiotherapy offers highly conformal dose distributions and more complex biological radiation effects eventually resulting in optimized normal tissue sparing and improved outcome. The aim of this study was to analyze toxicity, local control and overall survival after reirradiation of recurrent high-grade glioma with carbon ion radiotherapy. Methods:Between 10/2015 and 12/2018, 30 patients (median age: 59 years) with recurrent high-grade glioma were reirradiated with carbon ion beams and retrospectively analyzed. Diagnosis of recurrent glioma was based on magnetic resonance imaging. Thirteen patients had repeated resection prior to reirradiation and 24 patients underwent additional chemotherapy. The median initial radiation dose was 60 Gy and the median time interval between the initial and repeated radiotherapy was 10 months. The reirradiation dose was 45 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) applied in 15 fractions. All patients received regular follow-up imaging after reirradiation. Kaplan-Meier estimation, log rank test and Cox regression analysis were used for statistical assessment. Results:Applying common toxicity criteria, there were no grade 5 or 4 adverse events, while 8 patients showed grade 3 adverse events. The median follow-up after reirradiation was 11 months and the median overall survival after diagnosis of recurrent high-grade glioma was 13 months. The 6-, 12- and 24-month overall survival rates after diagnosis of recurrent high-grade glioma were 76%, 50% and 19%, respectively. Upon multivariate Cox regression analysis, a Ki67 score of the initial tumor histology of less than 20% was prognostic. Repeated resection or chemotherapy for the recurrent disease did not result in significantly prolonged survival. Conclusion:Carbon ion reirradiation in recurrent high-grade glioma is safe and feasible. No radiation-associated grade 4 toxicities were documented and treatment was tolerated well.

Project description:Abstract BACKGROUND There is strong pre-clinical evidence for the combination of PD-1 blockade with radiotherapy and anti-VEGF therapy. Herein, we present safety and efficacy data from a phase 1 study combining pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, with hypofractionated stereotactic irradiation (HFSRT) and bevacizumab in recurrent high grade glioma. METHODS This phase I study (3 + 3 design) explored the safety, tolerability, recommended phase II dose (RP2D), and antitumor activity of pembrolizumab administered concurrently with HFSRT and bevacizumab. Adult patients with recurrent glioblastoma or anaplastic astrocytoma (maximum diameter of target lesion ≤ 3.5 cm) were eligible. Eligible patients received HFSRT to the recurrent tumor (30 Gy in 5 fractions) combined with bevacizumab (10 mg/kg, Q2W) and pembrolizumab (100 mg or 200 mg intravenously based on dose level, Q3W). Two dose levels of pembrolizumab were explored and 20 patients were treated at RPD2. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS Twenty three patients with recurrent glioblastoma have been treated on this study (3 patients at 100 mg and 20 patients at 200 mg dose levels). Five patients had previous tumor progression on bevacizumab. Combination of HFSRT with pembrolizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks) and bevacizumab was generally well tolerated. The most common toxicities were grade 1 fatigue and grade 1 proteinuria. No treatment-related neurologic adverse events were observed. In 1 patient, study treatment was discontinued due to grade 3 elevation of liver transaminases. Durable objective responses (complete response + partial response ≥ 6 months) were observed in 53% of patients. The overall survival rate (at the time of abstract submission) at 6 and 12 months were 94% (16 out of 17 patients) and 64% (7 out of 11 patients), respectively. CONCLUSION Combination of HFSRT with pembrolizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks) and bevacizumab is safe. Clinical activity of this combination therapy is encouraging.
