Correlation between week 24 trastuzumab-dkst response and week 48 progression-free survival: the HERITAGE trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trastuzumab-dkst is a biosimilar of trastuzumab. The phase 3 HERITAGE trial demonstrated equivalent overall response rate (ORR) with trastuzumab-dkst or originator trastuzumab at 24 weeks in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. We now present the correlation of ORR with progression-free survival (PFS) for maintenance monotherapy with trastuzumab-dkst vs trastuzumab at 48 weeks of treatment, and the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity.

Methods

HERITAGE is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, phase 3 study. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive trastuzumab-dkst or trastuzumab in combination with taxane followed by continued monotherapy until disease progression. The analysis included PFS at 48 weeks to support the primary efficacy endpoint of ORR and safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of trastuzumab-dkst vs trastuzumab as maintenance monotherapy.

Results

Of 500 randomized patients, 342 entered the monotherapy phase; 214 patients received ≥48 weeks of treatment. There were no statistically significant differences between PFS, ORR, or interim overall survival at week 48 between trastuzumab-dkst and trastuzumab. Week 24 ORR was highly correlated with week 48 PFS (r_b = 0.75). Cumulative treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious AEs were similar in both groups, with few grade ≥3 TEAEs. Immunogenicity was low and similar in both groups at 48 weeks.

Conclusion

The correlation between ORR and PFS supports the design of first-line metastatic trials assessing biosimilar trastuzumab. Overall, trastuzumab-dkst and trastuzumab were well tolerated with similar efficacy, including ORR and PFS, in combination with a taxane followed by monotherapy.

Project description:Abstract Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of Tesomet (tesofensine plus metoprolol) in adults with hypothalamic obesity, a rare disease with no approved therapy. Research Design and Methods Twenty-one adults with hypothalamic obesity (16 females, 5 males) were randomized to Tesomet (0.5 mg tesofensine/50 mg metoprolol) (n=14) or placebo (n=8) during a 24-week double-blind period. On completion of the double-blind period, 17 (81%) subjects (11 Tesomet; 6 placebo) entered in to a 24-week open-label extension period and were treated with Tesomet. The primary endpoint was safety while secondary endpoints included measures of body weight, waist circumference, and body composition. Trial NCT03845075. Results The most common adverse events following the 24-week double-blind period and the 24-week open-label extension period were sleep disorder, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache; the majority of these adverse events were mild to moderate in severity. No significant nor clinically meaningful changes in heart rate or blood pressure were observed during the study. On completion of the double-blind period mean change in body weight (kg) was -7.84 for the Tesomet group versus -0.34 kg for the placebo group (P=0. 03). At the end of the open-label extension period mean change in body weight (kg) from baseline was -6.34 for the Tesomet-Tesomet group and -6. 03 for the placebo-Tesomet group. On completion of the double-blind period mean change in waist circumference (cm) was -7. 09 cm for the Tesomet group versus -1.16 for the placebo group (P=NS). At the end of the open-label extension period mean change in waist circumference (cm) from baseline was -5.73 for the Tesomet-Tesomet group and -3. 04 for the placebo-Tesomet group. On completion of the double-blind period mean change in fat mass (kg) was -5.28 for the Tesomet group versus -1.11 for the placebo group (P=NS). At the end of the open-label extension period mean change in fat mass (kg) from baseline was -4.84 for the Tesomet-Tesomet group and -3.85 for the placebo-Tesomet group. On completion of the double-blind period mean change in lean tissue mass (kg) was -2.76 for the Tesomet group versus 0.36 for the placebo group (P<0. 01). At the end of the open-label extension period mean change in lean mass (kg) from baseline was -1.64 for the Tesomet-Tesomet group and -2.22 for the placebo-Tesomet group. Discussion Tesomet was generally well tolerated after 48 weeks treatment and resulted in clinically meaningful improvements in body weight and body composition measures in adults with hypothalamic obesity. In contrast to previous studies of tesofensine monotherapy in general obesity, no significant nor clinically meaningful changes in cardiovascular measures were observed during the study. Conclusion Tesomet is a promising new experimental treatment for hypothalamic obesity. A randomized, placebo controlled, multi-center, dose-finding, Phase 2b study has now been initiated.

Project description:ImportanceBased on efficacy results from pivotal randomized clinical trials, PD-1 (programmed cell death 1) inhibitors, such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab, have been approved to treat various cancers. Response patterns with varying effects on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) have been reported for these drugs.ObjectiveTo compare 2 outcomes for PD-1 inhibitors: the correlation between PFS and OS and the differences in treatment effect size between PFS and OS.Data sourcesA systematic search of PubMed, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and conference abstracts for randomized clinical trials of nivolumab and pembrolizumab published in English.Study selectionRandomized clinical trials of nivolumab or pembrolizumab in adults with solid-tissue cancers with a nonimmunotherapy control.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers screened the studies for selection and extracted data on medians and hazard ratios (HRs) for PFS and OS. A pooled meta-analysis was conducted.Main outcomes and measuresAcross all trials, correlation coefficients between median PFS and median OS and between PFS benefit and OS benefit as well as the HRs of PFS and OS were assessed. The difference in treatment effect sizes between PFS and OS was assessed using a ratio of HRs (rHR). Subgroup analyses were conducted to observe differences based on drug, tumor type, and timing of therapy.ResultsTen randomized clinical trials that included 4653 patients and met inclusion criteria were identified, as were 2 others (comprising 764 patients) in which nivolumab or pembrolizumab was used following treatment with ipilimumab. The correlations between median PFS and median OS (r?=?0.676; R2?=?0.457; P?=?.09) and the correlations between the change in PFS and the change in OS (r?=?0.474; R2?=?0.225; P?=?.28) were not significant. However, the correlation between HRs of PFS and OS was significant (r?=?0.637; R2?=?0.406; P?=?.048). Using random-effects meta-analysis, the protective effects of treatment were greater for OS than for PFS (pooled rHR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.06-1.31; P?=?.002). There was no statistical evidence for heterogeneity across the studies (Q?=?6.24; P?=?.72; I2?=?0%). Subgroup analyses showed some differences in the treatment effect sizes based on drug type, tumor type, and line of therapy.Conclusions and relevanceThere was no significant correlation between OS and PFS in terms of medians and gains in medians, but their HRs were significantly correlated. The protective effects of treatment were greater for OS than for PFS. Traditional Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors-based PFS cannot capture the benefit of PD-1 inhibitors in patients with solid tumors, and OS should remain the gold standard.

Project description:PURPOSE:The New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy Response Criteria (NANTRC) were developed to optimize response assessment in patients with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma. Response predictors and associations of the NANTRC version 1.0 (NANTRCv1.0) and prognostic factors with outcome were analyzed. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed of patients with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma enrolled from 2000 to 2009 on 13 NANT Phase 1/2 trials. NANTRC overall response integrated CT/MRI (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]), metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG; Curie scoring), and percent bone marrow (BM) tumor (morphology). RESULTS:Fourteen (6.9%) complete response (CR) and 14 (6.9%) partial response (PR) occurred among 203 patients evaluable for response. Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 16 ± 3%; overall survival (OS) was 27 ± 3%. Disease sites at enrollment included MIBG-avid lesions (100% MIBG trials; 84% non-MIBG trials), measurable CT/MRI lesions (48%), and BM (49%). By multivariable analysis, Curie score of 0 (P < 0.001), lower Curie score (P = 0.003), no measurable CT/MRI lesions (P = 0.044), and treatment on peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) supported trials (P = 0.005) were associated with achieving CR/PR. Overall response of stable disease (SD) or better was associated with better OS (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, MYCN amplification (P = 0.037) was associated with worse PFS; measurable CT/MRI lesions (P = 0.041) were associated with worse OS; prior progressive disease (PD; P < 0.001/P < 0.001), Curie score ≥ 1 (P < 0.001; P = 0.001), higher Curie score (P = 0.048/0.037), and treatment on non-PBSC trials (P = < 0.001/0.003) were associated with worse PFS and OS. CONCLUSIONS:NANTRCv1.0 response of at least SD is associated with better OS in patients with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma. Patient and tumor characteristics may predict response and outcome. Identifying these variables can optimize Phase 1/2 trial design to select novel agents for further testing.
