Phase I study of the recombinant humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody-MMAE conjugate RC48-ADC in patients with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

RC48 contains the novel humanized anti-HER2 antibody hertuzumab conjugated to MMAE via a cleavable linker. A phase I study was initiated to evaluate the toxicity, MTD, PK, and antitumor activity of RC48 in patients with HER2-overexpressing locally advanced or metastatic solid carcinomas, particularly gastric cancer.

Patients and methods

This was a 2-part phase I study. Successive cohorts of patients received escalating doses of RC48 (0.1 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, and 3.0 mg/kg). Dose expansion proceeded at the dose of 2.0 mg/kg Q2W. The efficacy and safety set included all patients who received at least one dose of RC48.

Results

Fifty-seven patients were enrolled, the MTD was unavailable due to termination of 3.0 mg/kg cohort; 2.5 mg/kg Q2W was declared the RP2D. RC48 was well tolerated, the most frequent grade 3 or worse TRAEs included neutropenia (19.3%), leukopenia (17.5%), hypoesthesia (14.0%), and increased conjugated blood bilirubin (8.8%). Four deaths occurred during the whole study, three of which were believed to be related to RC48. Overall, ORR and DCR were 21.0% (12/57) and 49.1% (28/57). Notably, patients who were HER2 IHC2+/FISH- responded similarly to those who were IHC2+/FISH+ and IHC3+, with ORRs of 35.7% (5/14), 20% (2/10), and 13.6% (3/22), respectively. In patients who were pretreated with HER2-targeted drugs, RC48 also showed promising efficacy, with ORR of 15.0% (3/20) and DCR of 45.0% (9/20).

Conclusion

RC48 was well tolerated and showed promising antitumor activity in HER2-positive solid tumors, including gastric cancer with HER2 IHC 2+/FISH- status.

A HER2-targeting antibody-MMAE conjugate RC48 sensitizes immunotherapy in HER2-positive colon cancer by triggering the cGAS-STING pathway.

Project description:Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a protein that is overexpressed in some types of cancer, including breast and urothelial cancer. Here we found that HER2 was present in a portion of colon cancer patients, raising the possibility of using anti-HER2 therapy. RC48, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising cytotoxic monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and an anti-HER2 antibody tethered via a linker, showed a comparable therapeutic effect in both HER2 low expressed (IHC2+/FISH- or IHC+) and high expressed urothelial cancer patients. In vitro studies using colon cancer cell lines showed that RC48 effectively impeded the proliferation of HER2-positive cells, indicating its potential as a treatment for HER2-positive colon cancer. Mechanism study showed that RC48 not only induces cell cycle arrest but also disrupts HER2-mediated restain of cGAS-STING signaling, potentially activating an immune response against the cancer cells. The administration of RC48 significantly reduced the growth of HER2-positive colon cancer and made HER2-positive colon cancer cells more susceptible to immunotherapy. The results of our study will contribute to determining the feasibility of RC48 as a therapeutic option for HER2-positive colon cancer.

A HER2-targeted Antibody-Drug Conjugate, RC48-ADC, Exerted Promising Antitumor Efficacy and Safety with Intravesical Instillation in Preclinical Models of Bladder Cancer.

Project description:More than half of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients eventually relapse even if treated with surgery and BCG without optional bladder-preserving therapy. This study aims to investigate the antitumor activity and safety of a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, RC48-ADC, intravesical instillation for NMIBC treatment. In this preclinical study, it is revealed that human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression scores of 1+, 2+, and 3+ are recorded for 16.7%, 56.2%, and 14.6% of NMIBC cases. The antitumor effect of RC48-ADC is positively correlated with HER2 expression in bladder cancer (BCa) cell lines and organoid models. Furthermore, RC48-ADC is revealed to exert its antitumor effect by inducing G2/M arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis. In an orthotopic BCa model, tumor growth is significantly inhibited by intravesical instillation of RC48-ADC versus disitamab, monomethyl auristatin E, epirubicin, or phosphate-buffered saline control. The potential toxicity of intravesical RC48-ADC is also assessed by dose escalation in normal nude mice and revealed that administration of RC48-ADC by intravesical instillation is safe within the range of effective therapeutic doses. Taken together, RC48-ADC demonstrates promising antitumor effects and safety with intravesical administration in multiple preclinical models. These findings provide a rational for clinical trials of intravesical RC48-ADC in NMIBC patients.

From AVATAR Mice to Patients: RC48-ADC Exerted Promising Efficacy in Advanced Gastric Cancer With HER2 Expression.

Project description:RC48-ADC is a novel humanized antibody specific for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)in conjugation with a microtubule inhibitor via a cleavable linker. This study was to evaluate the antitumor activity and mechanism of RC48-ADC in gastric cancer (GC) and explore the population that may benefit from RC48-ADC treatment. Four human GC cell lines and nine patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were exploited to evaluate the antitumor effect of RC48-ADC or trastuzumab treatment in vitro and in vivo. The expression and phosphorylation of HER2 were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Critical molecules of downstream PI3K/AKT and cell cycle and apoptosis signaling pathways were detected and quantified by immunoblotting. Combined with preliminary results of preclinical research, three patients with IHC3+, IHC2+/FISH+, and IHC2+/FISH- of HER2 were enrolled to verify the efficacy of RC48-ADC treatment in advanced GC. In vitro, RC48-ADC had superior antiproliferative effects in a dose-dependent manner on GC cells, especially on HER2-positive cells. In vivo, RC48-ADC exceeded trastuzumab in GC PDX models with HER2 expression, even in models with moderate to low expression of HER2. Further exploration of mechanism showed that RC48-ADC exerted the antitumor effect by inhibiting phosphorylation of HER2, inducing G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis in HER2-expressed PDX models. In clinical practice, RC48-ADC had satisfactory efficacy in HER2-positive and HER2 moderately expressed GC patients and demonstrated promising efficacy in HER2-positive patients who have progressed after anti-HER2 therapy. In conclusion, RC48-ADC exerted promising antitumor activity in HER2-positive as well as score of 2+ in IHC and ISH-negative AGC patients after progression of systematic treatment.

Preclinical Efficacy of the Antibody-Drug Conjugate CLDN6-23-ADC for the Treatment of CLDN6-Positive Solid Tumors.

Project description:PurposeClaudin-6 (CLDN6) is expressed at elevated levels in multiple human cancers including ovarian and endometrial malignancies, with little or no detectable expression in normal adult tissue. This expression profile makes CLDN6 an ideal target for development of a potential therapeutic antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). This study describes the generation and preclinical characterization of CLDN6-23-ADC, an ADC consisting of a humanized anti-CLDN6 monoclonal antibody coupled to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a cleavable linker.Experimental designA fully humanized anti-CLDN6 antibody was conjugated to MMAE resulting in the potential therapeutic ADC, CLDN6-23-ADC. The antitumor efficacy of CLDN6-23-ADC was assessed for antitumor efficacy in CLDN6-positive (CLDN6+) and -negative (CLDN6-) xenografts and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of human cancers.ResultsCLDN6-23-ADC selectively binds to CLDN6, versus other CLDN family members, inhibits the proliferation of CLDN6+ cancer cells in vitro, and is rapidly internalized in CLDN6+ cells. Robust tumor regressions were observed in multiple CLDN6+ xenograft models and tumor inhibition led to markedly enhanced survival of CLDN6+ PDX tumors following treatment with CLDN6-23-ADC. IHC assessment of cancer tissue microarrays demonstrate elevated levels of CLDN6 in 29% of ovarian epithelial carcinomas. Approximately 45% of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas and 11% of endometrial carcinomas are positive for the target.ConclusionsWe report the development of a novel ADC, CLDN6-23-ADC, that selectively targets CLDN6, a potential onco-fetal-antigen which is highly expressed in ovarian and endometrial cancers. CLDN6-23-ADC exhibits robust tumor regressions in mouse models of human ovarian and endometrial cancers and is currently undergoing phase I study.

mTOR inhibitor introduce disitamab vedotin (RC48-ADC) rechallenge microtubule-chemotherapy resistance in HER2-low MBC patients with PI3K mutation.

Project description:This study aimed to explore the efficacy and potential mechanisms of rechallenge therapy with microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs) in patients with HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We performed a systematic review to investigate the rechallenge treatment concept in the field of HER2-low MBC treatment and utilized a series of cases identified in the literature to illustrate the concept. Here we reported two clinical cases of HER2-low MBC patients whose disease progressed after prior treatment with MTAs such as docetaxel and vincristine. When rechallenged with disitamab vedotin ((RC48-antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), a monomethyl auristatin (MMAE) MTA)), both patients achieved a partial response and the final progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.5 and 9 months, respectively. Genomic profiling detected a PIK3CA H1047R mutation in the patients. The patients were treated with everolimus before being rechallenged with RC48, which may lead to a better response. This study further summarizes and analyzes the potential mechanism of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in MTA resistance and reveals that the PIK3CA H1047R mutation may be a potential molecular marker for the efficacy prediction of mTOR inhibitors, providing new insights and potential therapeutic strategies for the application of MTAs to MBC patients.

TR1801-ADC: a highly potent cMet antibody-drug conjugate with high activity in patient-derived xenograft models of solid tumors.

Project description:cMet is a well-characterized oncogene that is the target of many drugs including small molecule and biologic pathway inhibitors, and, more recently, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, the clinical benefit from cMet-targeted therapy has been limited. We developed a novel cMet-targeted 'third-generation' ADC, TR1801-ADC, that was optimized at different levels including specificity, stability, toxin-linker, conjugation site, and in vivo efficacy. Our nonagonistic cMet antibody was site-specifically conjugated to the pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) toxin-linker tesirine and has picomolar activity in cancer cell lines derived from different solid tumors including lung, colorectal, and gastric cancers. The potency of our cMet ADC is independent of MET gene copy number, and its antitumor activity was high not only in high cMet-expressing cell lines but also in medium-to-low cMet cell lines (40 000-90 000 cMet/cell) in which a cMet ADC with tubulin inhibitor payload was considerably less potent. In vivo xenografts with low-medium cMet expression were also very responsive to TR1801-ADC at a single dose, while a cMet ADC using a tubulin inhibitor showed a substantially reduced efficacy. Furthermore, TR1801-ADC had excellent efficacy with significant antitumor activity in 90% of tested patient-derived xenograft models of gastric, colorectal, and head and neck cancers: 7 of 10 gastric models, 4 of 10 colorectal cancer models, and 3 of 10 head and neck cancer models showed complete tumor regression after a single-dose administration. Altogether, TR1801-ADC is a new generation cMet ADC with best-in-class preclinical efficacy and good tolerability in rats.

Preclinical evaluation of MRG002, a novel HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate with potent antitumor activity against HER2-positive solid tumors.

Project description:BackgroundERBB2 is a proto-oncogene of multiple cancers including breast and gastric cancers with HER2 protein overexpression or gene amplification and has been proven clinically as a valid target for these cancers. HER2-targeting agents such as Herceptin®, Kadcyla® and ENHERTU® have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of breast cancer, but these drugs still face the challenge of acquired resistance and/or severe adverse reactions in clinical use. Therefore, there is significant unmet medical need for developing new agents that are more effective and safer for patients with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors including breast and gastric cancers.MethodsWe report here the making of MRG002, a novel HER2-targeted antibody drug conjugate (ADC), and preclinical characterization including pharmacology, pharmacodynamics and toxicology and discuss its potential as a novel agent for treating patients with HER2-positive solid tumors.ResultsMRG002 exhibited similar antigen binding affinity but much reduced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity compared to trastuzumab. In addition to potent in vitro cytotoxicity, MRG002 showed tumor regression in both high- and medium-to-low HER2 expressing in vivo xenograft models. Furthermore, MRG002 showed enhanced antitumor activity when used in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody. Main findings from toxicology studies are related to the payload and are consistent with literature report of other ADCs with monomethyl auristatinE.ConclusionMRG002 has demonstrated a favorable toxicity profile and potent antitumor activities in the breast and gastric PDX models with varying levels of HER2 expression, and/or resistance to trastuzumab or T-DM1. A phase I clinical study of MRG002 in patients with HER2-positive solid tumors is ongoing (CTR20181778).

A phase I study of ontuxizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting endosialin, in Japanese patients with solid tumors.

Project description:Background We conducted a first-in-Japanese, phase I study of ontuxizumab, a humanized, anti-endosialin monoclonal antibody, to confirm its tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics, and identify exploratory efficacy. Methods This was a multicenter, multiple-dose, open-label study in Japanese patients aged ≥20 years with solid tumors, including gastric cancer (GC) or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), who had failed standard chemotherapy. The study comprised two parts: part 1 (dose-escalation; ontuxizumab 2-12 mg/kg weekly) and part 2 (cohort-expansion; 4 or 8 mg/kg weekly, or 12 mg/kg biweekly). Results Fifteen patients were treated in part 1, and 31 in part 2 (16 patients with GC and 15 with HCC). In part 1, the most common treatment-related, treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was fatigue (20%); no patients had grade ≥ 3 treatment-related TEAEs. In part 2, the most common treatment-related TEAEs were constipation, malaise, hiccups, and increased bilirubin; treatment-related grade 3 TEAEs occurred in two patients with HCC. In part 1, no patients achieved a partial response, and 6/15 (40%) had stable disease (SD). In part 2, 2/15 patients (13.3%) with GC and 8/15 (53.3%) with HCC had SD. Tumor shrinkage was observed in 5/15 HCC patients (33.3%). Conclusions Ontuxizumab, up to a dosage of 12 mg/kg weekly, was generally safe and well tolerated in this population, with no dose-limiting toxicities. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached; 8 mg/kg weekly or 12 mg/kg biweekly were the recommended dosages. We observed long-term disease stabilization in GC and extraskeletal chondrosarcoma, and tumor shrinkage in gastrointestinal stromal tumor and HCC. Trial registration: NCT01773434 ( ClinicalTrials.gov ).

Model-Based Characterization of the Pharmacokinetics of Pembrolizumab: A Humanized Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody in Advanced Solid Tumors.

Project description:Pembrolizumab, a potent antibody against programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor, has shown robust antitumor activity and manageable safety in patients with advanced solid tumors. Its pharmacokinetic (PK) properties were analyzed with population PK modeling using pooled data from the KEYNOTE-001, -002, and -006 studies of patients with advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and other solid tumor types. Pembrolizumab clearance was low and the volume of distribution small, as is typical for therapeutic antibodies. Identified effects of sex, baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, measures of renal and hepatic function, tumor type and burden, and prior ipilimumab treatment on pembrolizumab exposure were modest and lacked clinical significance. Furthermore, simulations demonstrated the model has robust power to detect clinically relevant covariate effects on clearance. These results support the use of the approved pembrolizumab dose of 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks without dose adjustment in a variety of patient subpopulations.
