Efficacy of the NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccine for refractory pediatric solid tumors: A phase I clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: Pediatric refractory solid tumors are aggressive malignant diseases, resulting in an extremely poor prognosis. KOC1, FOXM1, and KIF20A are cancer antigens that could be ideal targets for anticancer immunotherapy against pediatric refractory solid tumors with positive expression for these antigens. This nonrandomized, open-label, phase I clinical trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of the NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccine, which is a cocktail of cancer peptides derived from KOC1, FOXM1, and KIF20A, in patients with pediatric refractory solid tumors. Twelve patients with refractory pediatric solid tumors underwent NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccination weekly by intradermal injections. The primary endpoint was the safety of the NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccination, and the secondary endpoints were the immune response, as measured by interferon-r enzyme-linked immunospot assay, and the clinical outcomes including tumor response and progression-free survival. The NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccine was well tolerated. The clinical response of this trial showed that 4 patients had stable disease after 8 weeks and 2 patients maintained remission for >11 months. In 4, 8, and 5 patients, the NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccine induced the sufficient number of peptide-specific CTLs for KOC1, FOXM1, and KIF20A, respectively. Patients with high peptide-specific CTL frequencies for KOC1, FOXM1, and KIF20A had better progression-free survival than those with low frequencies. The findings of this clinical trial showed that the NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccine could be a novel therapeutic strategy, with adequate effects against pediatric refractory solid tumors. Future large-scale trials should evaluate the efficacy of the NCCV Cocktail-1 vaccination.

Project description:Lessons learnedMET overexpression is uncommon, and positive MET immunohistochemistry (1+/2+) was an independent positive prognostic factor for response rate and progression-free survival. Whether MET overexpression can be considered a potential predictive biomarker and be used as an inclusion criterion is worth investigating in a future study.BackgroundMetatinib tromethamine tablet (metatinib) is a small molecule receptor kinase inhibitor targeting both c-MET and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. This phase I trial aimed to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of metatinib in patients with advanced solid tumors.MethodsEligible patients received a single dose of metatinib in a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design with dose levels of 25-800 mg/day, after a single dose on day 1, then 2 days off, and then a multidose schedule of once-daily doses for 25 consecutive days (days 4-28). Primary endpoints were MTD and safety; secondary and exploratory endpoints included pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and biomarkers.ResultsEighteen patients (including nine patients with hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]) received at least one dose of study drug (one patient quit the study without continuous multiple-dose administration after receiving a single dose of metatinib). Hand-foot skin reaction, diarrhea, and liver dysfunction were the DLTs, and 200 mg/day was the MTD. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were skin toxicity (50%), diarrhea (33.3%), and liver dysfunction (27.8%). Three patients (only one of six in the 200 mg/day cohort; the other two in the 300 mg/day cohort) experienced severe TRAEs: one patient with severe liver dysfunction and two patients with severe liver dysfunction and skin toxicity, respectively. Pharmacokinetics assessment indicated that metatinib was rapidly absorbed and metabolized to the formation of reactive metabolite, SCR-1510, after single-dose administration. The mean time taken to achieve maximum concentration and terminal elimination half-life of SCR-1510 was approximately 2.0-3.0 hours and ranged from 8 to 14 hours. Two patients had partial responses. The objective response rate and disease control rate (DCR) were 11.1% and 61.1%, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.75 months.ConclusionMetatinib administration of 200 mg/day was well tolerated, safe, and effective. The MTD was 200 mg/day, which should be recommended in further investigations.
