Phase I study of BCX1777 (forodesine) in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T/natural killer-cell malignancies.

ABSTRACT: BCX1777 (forodesine), a novel purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitor, induces apoptosis, mainly in T cells. To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BCX1777, we conducted a phase I study in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T/natural killer-cell malignancies. Eligible patients had relapsed or refractory peripheral T/natural killer-cell malignancies without any major organ dysfunction. BCX1777 was administered orally once daily (dose escalation: 100, 200, and 300 mg) until disease progression requiring new therapy or unacceptable adverse events occurred. A total of 13 patients were enrolled and treated in three dose cohorts (100 mg/day, five patients; 200 mg/day, three patients; 300 mg/day, five patients). Although none of the patients developed dose-limiting toxicities, further dose escalation was not performed based on data from overseas. Therefore, the maximum tolerated dose was not determined. Adverse events of grade 3 or greater (?2 patients) included lymphopenia (62%), anemia (15%), leukopenia (8%), and pyrexia (8%). Plasma pharmacokinetics parameter of BCX1777 (area under the plasma concentration-time curve) at day 1 in each cohort was 1948 ± 884, 4608 ± 1030, and 4596 ± 939 ng•h/mL, respectively. Disease control was achieved in approximately half of patients. One patient with anaplastic large cell lymphoma, which was negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase, achieved a complete response, and two patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma achieved partial responses. BCX1777 was well tolerated at doses up to 300 mg once daily and showed preliminary evidence of activity in relapsed or refractory peripheral T/natural killer-cell malignancies, warranting further investigation.

Project description:We conducted a phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of HLA-haploidentical related donor natural killer (NK) cells after cyclophosphamide-based lymphodepletion in patients with relapsed or progressive acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Eight patients (2 with MDS and 6 with AML) were treated with cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on day -3 and day -2 before infusion of NK cells isolated from a haploidentical related donor. One patient also received fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day for 4 days. Six doses of 1 million units of interleukin-2 (IL-2) were administered on alternating days beginning on day -1. The median number of NK cells infused was 10.6 × 10(6)/kg (range, 4.3 to 22.4 × 10(6)/kg), and the median number of CD3 cells infused was 2.1 × 10(3)/kg (range, 1.9 to 40 × 10(3)/kg). NK infusions were well tolerated, with a median time to neutrophil recovery of 19 days (range, 7 days to not achieved) and no incidence of graft-versus-host disease after NK infusion. One patient with AML and 1 patient with MDS achieved a complete response, but relapsed at 1.7 and 1.8 months, respectively. One patient with MDS experienced resolution of dysplastic features but persistence of clonal karyotype abnormalities; this patient was stable at 65 months after NK cell therapy. The median duration of survival was 12.9 months (range, 0.8 to 65.3 months). Chimerism analysis of CD3(-)/CD56(+) peripheral blood cells did not detect any circulating haploidentical NK cells after infusion. NK phenotyping was performed in 7 patients during and after IL-2 infusion. We found a slight trend toward greater expression of KIR2DL2/2DL3/2DS2 (5% versus 28%; P = .03) at 14 days in patients who survived longer than 6 months from NK cell infusion (n = 4) compared with those who died within 6 months of NK cell therapy (n = 3). In summary, our data support the safety of haploidentical NK cell infusion after allogeneic HCT.

Project description:BackgroundNatural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a disease with limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Daratumumab monotherapy demonstrated clinical activity in a single-patient case report. We present data from the primary analysis of a phase 2 study of daratumumab monotherapy in relapsed or refractory (R/R) NKTCL.MethodsThis phase 2 study with Simon's two-stage design evaluated daratumumab in patients with histologically confirmed extranodal NKTCL, nasal type, per WHO classification that was refractory to or relapsed after ≥ 1 line of chemotherapy, who were not candidates for other treatment modalities. All patients received daratumumab 16 mg/kg intravenously once weekly for Cycles 1 and 2, every other week for Cycles 3 through 6, and every 4 weeks thereafter until progression or unacceptable toxicity; all cycles were 28 days. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) based on blinded independent central review per Revised Criteria for Response Assessment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (Lugano classification).ResultsIn total, 32 Asian patients received daratumumab. The ORR was 25.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.5-43.4); all 8 responders had a partial response; and the median duration of response was 55.0 days (95% CI 29-339). At 10.2 months of median follow-up, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 53.0 days (95% CI 43-106); the 4-month PFS rate was 13.0%. Median overall survival (OS) was 141.0 days (95% CI 94-438); the 6-month OS rate was 42.9%. Nineteen (59.4%) patients had grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); the most common was thrombocytopenia (25.0%; n = 8). TEAEs leading to death occurred in 4 patients (death, respiratory failure, septic shock, and pneumonia); all were unrelated to daratumumab.ConclusionsIn patients with R/R NKTCL, daratumumab monotherapy was well tolerated with no new safety concerns and achieved an ORR of 25.0%. However, no patients achieved complete response, and duration of response was short. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02927925. Registered 7 October 2016.
