Front-Line Window Therapy with Temozolomide and Irinotecan in Patients with Primary Disseminated Multifocal Ewing Sarcoma: Results of the ISG/AIEOP EW-2 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The main objective was to evaluate the activity and tolerability of TEMIRI as a front-line treatment in primary disseminated Ewing sarcoma (PDMES) using the RECIST 1.1 criteria. The secondary objectives included the assessment of toxicity and the performance status/symptom changes.

Methods

Between 2012 and 2018, patients with PDMES received two courses of temozolomide 100 mg/sqm/day + irinotecan 50 mg/sqm/day for 5 days every 3 weeks as an amendment to the Italian Sarcoma Group/Associazione Italiana EmatoIogia ed Oncologia Pediatrica (ISG/AIEOP) EW-2 protocol (EUDRACT#2009-012353-37, Vers. 1.02).

Results

Thirty-four patients were enrolled. The median age at diagnosis was 19 years (range 3-55). After TEMIRI, the RECIST response was as follows: a partial response in 20 (59%) patients, stable disease in 11 (32%), and disease progression in 3 (9%). The ECOG/Lansky score was improved in 25/34 (73.5%) cases, and a reduction or disappearance of pain was observed in 31/34 patients (91%). The incidence of grade 3-4 toxicity was 3%. The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 21% (95% CI 6-35%) and 36% (95% CI: 18-54%), respectively.

Conclusion

the smooth handling and encouraging activity demonstrated by up-front TEMIRI did not change the EFS in PDMES, so this result suggests the need for the further evaluation of the efficacy of TEMIRI in combination with conventional treatments in non-metastatic patients.

PEGylated talazoparib enhances therapeutic window of its combination with temozolomide in Ewing sarcoma.

Project description:Current therapy is ineffective for relapsed and metastatic Ewing sarcoma (EwS) owing to development of drug resistance. Macromolecular prodrugs potentially lead to lower drug exposure in normal tissues and reduced toxicity. We evaluated the efficacy of PEGylated talazoparib (PEG∼TLZ), a PARP1 inhibitor, alone or in combination with the DNA-alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) in EwS and other pediatric tumors using conventional testing or single-mouse trial (SMT). A single dose of PEG∼TLZ (10 μmol/kg on day 0) combined with 5 daily doses of TMZ (40 mg/kg starting on day 3/4) produced minimal toxicity, and the combination achieved maintained complete response in EwS and glioblastoma models. The SMT trial with the 3-day interval between PEG∼TLZ and TMZ resulted in objective responses in EwS and other xenografts. Thus, PEG∼TLZ + TMZ demonstrated a broad range of activity in pediatric solid tumor models. Furthermore, the therapeutic window of PEG∼TLZ + TMZ was enhanced compared with the free-TLZ combination.

Irinotecan dose schedule for the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.

Project description:Irinotecan and temozolomide achieve objective responses in patients with Ewing sarcoma that recurs after initial therapy. Optimal dose schedules have not been defined. We reviewed published series of patients treated with irinotecan and temozolomide for Ewing sarcoma that recurred after initial therapy. We compared objective response rates for patients who received 5-day irinotecan treatment schedules to response rates for patients who achieved 10-day irinotecan treatment schedules. Among 89 patients treated with a 10-day irinotecan schedule, there were 47 objective responses (53%). Among 180 patients treated with a 5-day irinotecan schedule, there were 52 responses (29%). In the treatment of recurrent Ewing sarcoma, investigators should consider the use of a 10-day schedule for administration of irinotecan.

SARC025 arms 1 and 2: A phase 1 study of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor niraparib with temozolomide or irinotecan in patients with advanced Ewing sarcoma.

Project description:BackgroundIn preclinical Ewing sarcoma (ES) models, poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors were identified as a potential therapeutic strategy with synergy in combination with cytotoxic agents. This study evaluated the safety and dosing of the PARP1/2 inhibitor niraparib (NIR) with temozolomide (TMZ; arm 1) or irinotecan (IRN; arm 2) in patients with pretreated ES.MethodsEligible patients in arm 1 received continuous NIR daily and escalating TMZ (days 2-6 [D2-6]) in cohort A. Subsequent patients received intermittent NIR dosing (cohort B), with TMZ re-escalation in cohort C. In arm 2, patients were assigned to NIR (days 1-7 [D1-7]) and escalating doses of IRN (D2-6).ResultsFrom July 2014 to May 2018, 29 eligible patients (23 males and 6 females) were enrolled in arms 1 and 2, which had 7 dose levels combined. Five patients experienced at least 1 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in arm 1 (grade 4 [G4] neutropenia for >7 days or G4 thrombocytopenia), and 3 patients experienced at least 1 DLT in arm 2 (grade 3 [G3] colitis, G3 anorexia, or G3 alanine aminotransferase elevation). The maximum tolerated dose was NIR at 200 mg every day on D1-7 plus TMZ at 30 mg/m2 every day on D2-6 (arm 1) or NIR at 100 mg every day on D1-7 plus IRN at 20 mg/m2 every day on D2-6 (arm 2). One confirmed partial response was observed in arm 2; the median progression-free survival was 9.0 weeks (95% CI, 7.0-10.1 weeks) and 16.3 weeks (95% CI, 5.1-69.7 weeks) in arms 1 and 2, respectively. The median decrease in tumor poly(ADP-ribose) activity was 89% (range, 83%-98%).ConclusionsThe combination of NIR and TMZ or IRN was tolerable, but at lower doses in comparison with conventional cytotoxic combinations. A triple-combination study of NIR, IRN, and TMZ has commenced.

Phase II Trial of Upfront Bevacizumab, Irinotecan, and Temozolomide for Unresectable Glioblastoma.

Project description:Lessons learnedTrials focusing on unresectable multifocal glioblastoma are needed because of the extremely poor prognosis and challenges in receiving standard therapy, such as concurrent radiation and chemotherapy.Developing a strategy to chemically debulk tumors before radiation and/or surgery is warranted.BackgroundExtent of resection remains a key prognostic factor in glioblastoma (GBM), with gross total resection providing a better prognosis than biopsy or subtotal resection. We conducted a phase II trial of upfront therapy with bevacizumab (BV), irinotecan (CPT-11), and temozolomide (TMZ) prior to chemoradiation in patients with unresectable, subtotally resected, and/or multifocal GBM.MethodsPatients received up to 4 cycles of TMZ at 200 mg/m(2) per day on days 1-5 (standard dosing) and BV at 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks on a 28-day cycle. CPT-11 was given every 2 weeks on a 28-day cycle at 125 mg/m(2) or 340 mg/m(2) depending on antiepileptic drugs. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was done every 4 weeks, and treatment continued as long as there was no tumor progression or unmanageable toxicity. The primary endpoint was tumor response rate, with a goal of 26% or greater.ResultsForty-one patients were enrolled from December 2009 to November 2010. Radiographic responses were as follows: 9 patients (22.0%) had partial response, 25 (61.0%) had stable disease, and 2 (4.9%) had progression; 5 patients were not assessed. Cumulative response rate was 22%. Median overall survival was 12 months (95% confidence interval: 7.2-13.5 months).ConclusionUpfront treatment with BV, TMZ, and CPT-11 is tolerable and can lead to radiographic response in unresectable and/or subtotally resected GBM.

Phase II trial of upfront bevacizumab and temozolomide for unresectable or multifocal glioblastoma.

Project description:Patients with unresectable glioblastomas have a poor prognosis, with median survival of 6-10 months. We conducted a phase II trial of upfront 5-day temozolomide (TMZ) and bevacizumab (BV) in patients with newly diagnosed unresectable or multifocal glioblastoma. Patients received up to four cycles of TMZ at 200 mg/m(2) on days 1-5, and BV at 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed monthly. Therapy was continued as long as there was no tumor progression, grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity, or recurrent grade 4 hematologic toxicity after dose reduction. The primary end point was best tumor response as measured on MRI. Forty-one patients were accrued over 12 months; 39 had a full set of MRI scans available for evaluation. Assessment for best radiographic responses was as follows: partial responses in 24.4%, stable disease in 68.3%, and progressive disease in 2.4%. Treatment-related toxicities included seven grade 4 toxicities and one grade 5 toxicity (myocardial infarction). From this study, it was concluded that an upfront regimen of TMZ and BV for unresectable glioblastoma was well tolerated and provided a significant level of disease stabilization. Therapeutic toxicities were consistent with those seen in the adjuvant setting using these agents. The upfront approach to treatment of glioblastoma in the unresectable population warrants further investigation in randomized controlled phase III trials.

Prognostic Role of Minimal Disseminated Disease and <i>NOTCH1/FBXW7</i> Mutational Status in Children with Lymphoblastic Lymphoma: The AIEOP Experience.

Project description:NOTCH1/FBXW7 (N/F) mutational status at diagnosis is employed for T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) patients' stratification in the international protocol LBL 2018. Our aim was to validate the prognostic role of Minimal Disseminated Disease (MDD) alone and in combination with N/F mutational status in a large retrospective series of LBL pediatric patients. MDD was analyzed in 132 bone marrow and/or peripheral blood samples by flow cytometry. Mutations in N/F genes were analyzed on 58 T-LBL tumor biopsies. Using the previously established cut-off of 3%, the four-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 57% for stage I-III patients with MDD ≥ 3% versus 80% for patients with MDD inferior to cut-off (p = 0.068). We found a significant worsening in the four-year PFS for nonmutated (51 ± 12%) compared to mutated patients (100%, p = 0.0013). Combining MDD and N/F mutational status in a subgroup of available cases, we found a statistically significant difference in the four-year PFS for different risk groups (p = 0.0012). Overall, our results demonstrate that N/F mutational status has a more relevant prognostic value than MDD at diagnosis. However, the combination of N/F mutations with MDD analysis could identify patients with very aggressive disease, which might benefit from a more intensive treatment.

Coordinated regulation and widespread cellular expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) ISG-49, ISG-54, and ISG-56 in the central nervous system after infection with distinct viruses.

Project description:The interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs) ISG-49, ISG-54, and ISG-56 are highly responsive to viral infection, yet the regulation and function of these genes in vivo are unknown. We examined the simultaneous regulation of these ISGs in the brains of mice during infection with either lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) or West Nile virus (WNV). Expression of the ISG-49 and ISG-56 genes increased significantly during LCMV infection, being widespread and localized predominantly to common as well as distinct neuronal populations. Expression of the ISG-54 gene also increased but to lower levels and with a more restricted distribution. Although expression of the ISG-49, ISG-54, and ISG-56 genes was increased in the brains of LCMV-infected STAT1 and STAT2 knockout (KO) mice, this was blunted, delayed, and restricted to the choroid plexus, meninges, and endothelium. ISG-56 protein was regulated in parallel with the corresponding RNA transcript in the brain during LCMV infection in wild-type and STAT KO mice. Similar changes in ISG-49, ISG-54, and ISG-56 RNA levels and ISG-56 protein levels were observed in the brains of wild-type mice following infection with WNV. Thus, the ISG-49, ISG-54, and ISG-56 genes are coordinately upregulated in the brain during LCMV and WNV infection; this upregulation, in the case of LCMV, was totally (neurons) or partially (non-neurons) dependent on the IFN-signaling molecules STAT1 and STAT2. These findings suggest a dominant role for the ISG-49, ISG-54, and ISG-56 genes in the host response to different viruses in the central nervous system, where, particularly in neurons, these genes may have nonredundant functions.

Phase 2 Study of Radiation Therapy Plus Low-Dose Temozolomide Followed by Temozolomide and Irinotecan for Glioblastoma: NRG Oncology RTOG Trial 0420.

Project description:PURPOSE:To evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) and irinotecan (CPT-11) for 12 months after concurrent chemoradiation in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). METHODS AND MATERIALS:Trial RTOG 04-20, a single-arm, multi-institutional phase 2 trial, was designed to determine the efficacy and toxicity of concomitant TMZ and radiation therapy (RT) followed by adjuvant TMZ combined with CPT-11 given for 12 cycles compared with historical controls of adjuvant TMZ alone given for 6 cycles. RESULTS:A total of 170 patients were enrolled, 152 of whom were eligible. Adjuvant CPT-11 combined with TMZ was more toxic than expected. A higher rate of hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicities was more frequently noted with the combination regimen compared with adjuvant TMZ alone. Grade 3/4 hematologic toxicity was 38% compared with 14% reported in the Stupp trial. After an early interim analysis, the adjuvant CPT-11 dose was reduced to 100 mg/m2 on days 1 and 5 for the first cycle. CPT-11 dose escalation proceeded over the first 3 cycles if tolerated. Median overall survival for all eligible patients was 16.9 months compared with 13.7 months of the historical control (P = .03). Post hoc subgroup analysis suggested an improvement in overall survival for patients with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group recursive partitioning analysis class 3, although improvement was limited to 22 patients (14% of eligible patients). CONCLUSIONS:Although irinotecan and TMZ for 12 cycles given after chemoradiation for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma significantly improved median survival compared with historical control data at the time the study was conducted, the historical control median survival time of 13.7 months does not represent the current benchmark for this patient population. Treatment intensification does prolong overall survival compared with the current standard.

Response to bevacizumab, irinotecan, and temozolomide in children with relapsed medulloblastoma: a multi-institutional experience.

Project description:PurposeChemotherapy for relapsed medulloblastoma has been inadequate, and most patients succumb to disease.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed nine cases of relapsed medulloblastoma treated with bevacizumab, irinotecan, ± temozolomide. Patients received one to three prior therapeutic regimens. Five patients received 10 mg/kg bevacizumab and 125-150 mg/m(2) irinotecan IV every 2 weeks, with temozolomide, starting at a median dose of 150 mg/m(2) orally for 5 days monthly. Two patients received bevacizumab and irinotecan, but not temozolomide, due to provider preference. Two of nine patients received 15 mg/kg bevacizumab IV, 90 mg/m(2) irinotecan orally for five consecutive days, 100 mg/m(2)/day temozolomide IV for 5 days, and 1.5 mg/m(2) vincristine IV, each administered every 21 days.ResultsMedian time to progression was 11 months. Median overall survival was 13 months. Objective tumor response at 3 months was 67 %, including six patients with partial response (PR) and three patients with stable disease (SD). At 6 months, objective response was 55 %, with two patients with PR and three with complete response. Additionally, one patient had SD and three had PD. Two patients remain alive and progression free at 15 and 55 months; another is alive with disease at 20 months. Toxicities included two patients with grade III neutropenia, two with grade III thrombocytopenia, one with grade III elevation of liver function tests, and one patient with grade III diarrhea.ConclusionsThe combination of bevacizumab and irinotecan, with or without temozolomide, produces objective responses with minimal toxicity in children with recurrent medulloblastoma. Prospective clinical trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of this strategy.
