A phase I trial of lenalidomide and radiotherapy in children with diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas or high-grade gliomas.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the immunomodulatory agent, lenalidomide, when administered daily during 6 weeks of radiation therapy to children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) PATIENTS & METHODS: Children and young adults < 22 years of age with newly diagnosed disease and no prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy were eligible. Children with HGG were required to have an inoperable or incompletely resected tumor. Eligible patients received standard radiation therapy to a prescription dose of 54-59.4 Gy, with concurrent administration of lenalidomide daily during radiation therapy in a standard 3 + 3 Phase I dose escalation design. Following completion of radiation therapy, patients had a 2-week break followed by maintenance lenalidomide at 116 mg/m²/day × 21 days of a 28-day cycle.

Results

Twenty-nine patients (age range 4-19 years) were enrolled; 24 were evaluable for dose finding (DIPG, n = 13; HGG, n = 11). The MTD was not reached at doses of lenalidomide up to 116 mg/m²/day. Exceptional responses were noted in DIPG and malignant glioma (gliomatosis cerebri) notably at higher dose levels and at higher steady state plasma concentrations. The primary toxicity was myelosuppression.

Conclusion

The RP2D of lenalidomide administered daily during radiation therapy is 116 mg/m²/day. Children with malignant gliomas tolerate much higher doses of lenalidomide during radiation therapy compared to adults. This finding is critical as activity was observed primarily at higher dose levels suggesting a dose response.

Genome-wide Analyses of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas

Project description:Purpose: More than 90% of children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) die within 2 years of diagnosis. There is a dire need to identify therapeutic targets, however lack of patient material for research has limited progress. We evaluated a large cohort of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) to identify recurrent genomic abnormalities and gene expression signatures underlying DIPG. Patients and Methods: We used single nucleotide polymorphism arrays to evaluate genomic copy number imbalances in 43 DIPGs from 40 patients and in 8 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas. Gene expression arrays were used to evaluate expression signatures from 27 DIPGs, 6 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas and 66 low-grade gliomas arising outside the brainstem. Results: Frequencies of specific large-scale and focal imbalances varied significantly between DIPGs and pediatric glioblastomas outside the brainstem. Focal amplifications of genes within the receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras-PI3-kinase signaling pathway were found in 47% of DIPG, with PDGFRA and MET showing the highest frequency. 30% of DIPG contained focal amplifications of cell-cycle regulatory genes controlling RB phosphorylation, and 21% had concurrent amplification of genes from both pathways. Some tumors showed heterogeneity in amplification patterns. DIPGs showed distinct gene expression signatures relating to developmental processes compared to pediatric glioblastomas arising outside the brainstem, while expression signatures of low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas were similar to low-grade gliomas outside the brainstem. Copy number analaysis: 43 DIPG samples, 8 Low Grade Gliomas using SNP6.0. Available matched normals are also profiled with SNP6.0. Expression analysis: 29 DIPG samples, 6 Low grade samples Please contact Suzanne Baker at Suzanne.Baker@stjude.org for CEL files and genotype calls.

Phase I study of vandetanib during and after radiotherapy in children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the safety, maximum-tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of vandetanib, an oral vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, administered once daily during and after radiotherapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.Patients and methodsRadiotherapy was administered as 1.8-Gy fractions (total cumulative dose of 54 Gy). Vandetanib was administered concurrently with radiotherapy for a maximum of 2 years. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were evaluated during the first 6 weeks of therapy. Pharmacokinetic studies were obtained for all patients. Plasma angiogenic factors and VEGFR2 phosphorylation in mononuclear cells were analyzed before and during therapy.ResultsTwenty-one patients were administered 50 (n = 3), 65 (n = 3), 85 (n = 3), 110 (n = 6), and 145 mg/m(2) (n = 6) of vandetanib. Only one patient developed DLT (grade 3 diarrhea) at dosage level 5. An expanded cohort of patients were treated at dosage levels 4 (n = 10) and 5 (n = 4); two patients developed grade 4 hypertension and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome while also receiving high-dose dexamethasone. Despite significant interpatient variability, exposure to vandetanib increased with higher dosage levels. The bivariable analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) before and during therapy showed that patients with higher levels of VEGF before therapy had a longer progression-free survival (PFS; P = .022), whereas patients with increases in VEGF during treatment had a shorter PFS (P = .0015). VEGFR2 phosphorylation was inhibited on day 8 or 29 of therapy compared with baseline (P = .039).ConclusionThe recommended phase II dose of vandetanib in children is 145 mg/m(2) per day. Close monitoring and management of hypertension is required, particularly for patients receiving corticosteroids.

Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip profiling of paediatric high grade gliomas and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

Project description:We have used Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array profiling to profile paediatric high grade gliomas and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas. The 450K methylation array is being used to separate brain tumour samples on the basis of their methylation profiles which represent the cell of origin the time and place in which tumours arise. Methylation arrays provide data for an integrated molecular diagnosis of brain tumours and define specific molecular subgroups and subtypes of high grade gliomas carrying distinct driver mutations and patterns of somatic alterations. These data form part of an integrated meta-analysis of high grade gliomas in children combining DNA copy number, methylation and high throughput sequencing datasets.

Pembrolizumab in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent, Progressive, or Refractory High-Grade Gliomas, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas, Hypermutated Brain Tumors, Ependymoma or Medulloblastoma

Project description:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab and to see how well it works in treating younger patients with high-grade gliomas (brain tumors that are generally expected to be fast growing and aggressive), diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (brain stem tumors), brain tumors with a high number of genetic mutations, ependymoma or medulloblastoma that have come back (recurrent), progressed, or have not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may induce changes in the body’s immune system, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

THER-09. ONCOLYTIC ADENOVIRUS, DNX-2401, FOR NAIVE DIFFUSE INTRINSIC PONTINE GLIOMAS: A PHASE I CLINICAL TRIAL

Project description:Abstract The objective of this trial is to determine the safety, tolerability, and toxicity of DNX-2401 in newly diagnosed DIPG patients (NCT03178032) followed by radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints are overall survival at 12 months, percentage of responses and induced immune response against tumor. Tumor biopsy was performed through the cerebellar peduncle, followed by intratumoral injection of DNX-2401 (N=12). Three patients were treated with 1x1010vp and given the lack of toxicity we escalated to 5x1010vp. The procedure was well tolerated and reduced tumor volume was demonstrated in all patients after combined treatment (virus + radiotherapy). We performed molecular studies (RNAseq and the Oncomine Childhood Research Panel from Thermo Fisher). The immune cell composition of the biopsies pre-virus injection was assessed using multiplexed quantitative immunofluorescence. T cells were hardly detectable in these tumors while macrophages were abundant. Using a multiplexed TCR-sequencing mRNA-based assay to analyze 18 available paired pre- and post-treatment samples from the trial, we detected increased clonal T cell diversity following treatment with the virus. We also measured pre and post treatment neutralizing antibodies and their relationship with survival. Finally, we performed functional studies using 2 cell lines isolated from patients included in this trial to assess the response to the virus (infectivity, viability, T-cell recognition). In summary, the virus has shown safety and efficacy in some patients. The information obtained in this clinical study would aid understanding the response of DIPG patients to viral therapies and, therefore, to better tailor this strategy to improve the survival of these patients.

A phase I/II study of gemcitabine during radiotherapy in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

Project description:The purpose of this phase I/II, open-label, single-arm trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose and preliminary efficacy of the potential radiosensitizer gemcitabine, administered concomitantly to radiotherapy, in children with newly diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Six doses of weekly gemcitabine were administered intravenously, concomitantly to 6 weeks of hyperfractionated radiotherapy. Successive cohorts received increasing doses of 140, 175 and 200 mg/m2 gemcitabine, respectively, following a 3?+?3 dose-escalation schedule without expansion cohort. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) were monitored during treatment period. Clinical response was assessed using predefined case report forms and radiological response was assessed using the modified RANO criteria. Quality of life (QoL) was assessed using PedsQL questionnaires. Between June 2012 and December 2016, nine patients were enrolled. Treatment was well tolerated, and no DLTs were observed up to the maximum dose of 200 mg/m2. All patients experienced reduction of tumor-related symptoms. QoL tended to improve during treatment. PFS and MOS were 4.8 months (95% CI 4.0-5.7) and 8.7 months (95% CI 7.0-10.4). Classifying patients according to the recently developed DIPG survival prediction model, intermediate risk patients (n?=?4), showed a PFS and MOS of 6.4 and 12.4 months, respectively, versus a PFS and MOS of 4.5 and 8.1 months, respectively, in high risk patient (n?=?5). Gemcitabine up to 200 mg/m2/once weekly, added to radiotherapy, is safe and well tolerated in children with newly diagnosed DIPG. PFS and MOS were not significantly different from literature.

Phase 1 trial, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of dasatinib combined with crizotinib in children with recurrent or progressive high-grade and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Progressive/recurrent high-grade and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are fatal. Treatments targeting molecular pathways critical for these cancers are needed. METHODS:We conducted a phase 1 study (rolling-six design) to establish the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of dasatinib, an oral platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) inhibitor, and crizotinib, an oral c-Met inhibitor, in such patients. Pharmacokinetics of both agents were performed. Biomarkers of cellular pathway activation in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were evaluated before and after administration of dasatinib. PDGFRA and MET amplification, and PDGFRA mutations were studied in tumor samples. RESULTS:Twenty-five patients were enrolled in this study (median age: 11.9 years). Eleven patients had DIPG. Glioblastoma accounted for 40% of cases. Dasatinib at 50 mg/m2 and crizotinib at 130 mg/m2 or 100 mg/m2 were poorly tolerated when administered twice daily. Drug administration was then switched to once daily. Dasatinib administered at 50 mg/m2 and crizotinib at 215 mg/m2 once daily was the MTD. Dose-limiting toxicities consisted of diarrhea, fatigue, proteinuria, hyponatremia, rash, and grade 4 neutropenia. Only two patients received therapy for at least 6 months. No objective radiologic responses were observed. Pharmacokinetics of dasatinib and crizotinib were comparable to previous studies. A statistically significant decrease in the ratio of p-AKT/total AKT in PBMC occurred after dasatinib administration. PDGFRA and MET amplification were found in four and two cases, respectively. Only one of 10 tumors harbored a PDGFRA mutation. CONCLUSIONS:This drug combination was poorly tolerated and its activity was minimal. We do not recommend further testing of this combination in children.

Circulating microRNA profiling in diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

Project description:Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) identifies gliomas originating in the thalami, brainstem, cerebellum and spine. Within this entity, tumours that infiltrate the pons, called diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), have a rapid onset and devastating neurological symptoms. Radiotherapy is the only intervention that is able to modify the disease course, albeit not in a curative way. In recent years, liquid biopsies have represented the next step in clinical diagnostics due to their easily accessible nature. The purpose of this study is to profile circulating miRNA expression to disclose a potential prognostic signature with clinical impact.
