Phase II trial of single-agent panobinostat consolidation improves responses after sub-optimal transplant outcomes in multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Panobinostat is a pan-deacetylase inhibitor that modulates the expression of oncogenic and immune-mediating genes involved in tumour cell growth and survival. We evaluated panobinostat-induced post-transplant responses and identified correlative biomarkers in patients with multiple myeloma who had failed to achieve a complete response after autologous transplantation. Patients received panobinostat 45 mg administered three-times weekly (TIW) on alternate weeks of 28-day cycles commencing 8-12 weeks post-transplant. Twelve of 25 patients (48%) improved their depth of response after a median (range) of 4·3 (1·9-9·7) months of panobinostat. In responders, T-lymphocyte histone acetylation increased after both three cycles (P < 0·05) and six cycles (P < 0·01) of panobinostat when compared to baseline, with no differences in non-responders. The reduction in the proportion of CD127⁺ CD8⁺ T cells and CD4:CD8 ratio was significantly greater, after three and six cycles of panobinostat compared to pre-transplant, in non-responders when compared to responders. Whole marrow RNA-seq revealed widespread transcriptional changes only in responders with baseline differences in genes involved in ribosome biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation and metabolic pathways. This study confirmed the efficacy of panobinostat as a single agent in multiple myeloma and established acetylation of lymphocyte histones, modulation of immune subsets and transcriptional changes as pharmacodynamic biomarkers of clinical benefit.

Project description:BackgroundAdding modified FOLFOX6 (folinic acid, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin) after chemoradiotherapy and lengthening the chemoradiotherapy-to-surgery interval is associated with an increase in the proportion of rectal cancer patients with a pathological complete response.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to analyze disease-free and overall survival.DesignThis was a nonrandomized phase II trial.SettingsThe study was conducted at multiple institutions.PatientsFour sequential study groups with stage II or III rectal cancer were included.InterventionAll of the patients received 50 Gy of radiation with concurrent continuous infusion of fluorouracil for 5 weeks. Patients in each group received 0, 2, 4, or 6 cycles of modified FOLFOX6 after chemoradiation and before total mesorectal excision. Patients were recommended to receive adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery to complete a total of 8 cycles of modified FOLFOX6.Main outcome measuresThe trial was powered to detect differences in pathological complete response, which was reported previously. Disease-free and overall survival are the main outcomes for the current study.ResultsOf 259 patients, 211 had a complete follow-up. Median follow-up was 59 months (range, 9-125 mo). The mean number of total chemotherapy cycles differed among the 4 groups (p = 0.002), because one third of patients in the group assigned to no preoperative FOLFOX did not receive any adjuvant chemotherapy. Disease-free survival was significantly associated with study group, ypTNM stage, and pathological complete response (p = 0.004, <0.001, and 0.001). A secondary analysis including only patients who received ≥1 cycle of FOLFOX still showed differences in survival between study groups (p = 0.03).LimitationsThe trial was not randomized and was not powered to show differences in survival. Survival data were not available for 19% of the patients.ConclusionsAdding modified FOLFOX6 after chemoradiotherapy and before total mesorectal excision increases compliance with systemic chemotherapy and disease-free survival in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Neoadjuvant consolidation chemotherapy may have benefits beyond increasing pathological complete response rates. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A739.
