Phase Ib study on the humanized anti-CCR4 antibody, KW-0761, in advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT: Tregs infiltrate tumors and inhibit antitumor immunity. KW-0761 (Mogamulizumab) is a humanized anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody that could eliminate activated Tregs with high immunosuppressive activity that express CCR4. In this phase Ib trial, KW-0761 was used as a cancer immunotherapeutic reagent to deplete Tregs in patients with advanced or recurrent solid CCR4-negative tumors. Thirty-nine patients with solid cancer were treated with KW-0761 at a dose of 0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg. The safety, clinical responses, and effects of Treg depletion were analyzed. Any grade and grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were observed in 36 (92%) and 14 (36%) out of 39 patients, respectively. All treatment-related AEs were manageable. One and 5 patients achieved a partial response and stable disease, respectively, during treatment and were long survivors. The efficient depletion of Treg in peripheral blood was confirmed in both cohorts. Therefore, the administration of KW-0761 was safe, resulting in the depletion of Tregs in peripheral blood and potential immune responses in patients with solid cancer. The combined use of KW-0761 to deplete Tregs and other immunotherapies is a promising approach to augment immune responses.

Project description:PurposeOpen-label phase Ib/II study to investigate the safety and efficacy of LBL-007, an anti-LAG-3 antibody, plus toripalimab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in patients with previously treated advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and other solid tumors.MethodsPatients with advanced tumors refractory to prior standard therapies were enrolled. In phase Ib, patients received LBL-007 200 mg or 400 mg and toripalimab 240 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks. In phase II, all patients received LBL-007 at the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and toripalimab 240 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks. The primary end points were safety in phase Ib and objective response rate (ORR) in phase II. The exploratory end point was the predictive capability of LAG-3 and PD-L1 expression for efficacy.ResultsBetween November 30, 2021, and December 1, 2023, 80 patients were enrolled, including 30 (37.5%) with NPC and 50 (62.5%) with other tumors. Median follow-up was 26.0 months. In Phase Ib, LBL-007 was administered at 200 mg to four patients and 400 mg to six patients, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. Therefore, the 400 mg dose of LBL-007 was established as the RP2D and administered to 70 patients in phase II. Nine (11.3%) of 80 patients had grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events, the most common of which included anemia (2.5%), hyponatremia (2.5%), increased alanine aminotransferase (2.5%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (1.3%), and fatigue (1.3%). Eight patients (10.0%) had treatment-related serious adverse events. No treatment-related deaths were reported. In immunotherapy-naive NPC patients (n = 12), ORR was 33.3%, disease control rate (DCR) was 75%, and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.8 months (95% CI, 1.3 to not estimated). In IO-treated NPC patients (n = 17), ORR was 11.8%, DCR was 64.7%, and median PFS was 2.7 months (95% CI, 1.4 to 4.9). For other tumors, ORRs were 15.8% in immunotherapy-naive patients and 3.7% in immunotherapy-treated patients. Patients with ≥ 2 + LAG-3 expression had a higher ORR of 28.0%, compared to 7.7% in those with < 2 + LAG-3 expression.ConclusionLBL-007 plus toripalimab exhibited a manageable safety profile in patients with advanced solid tumors and demonstrated promising antitumor activity in NPC, especially in immunotherapy-naive patients. These findings warrant further validation in future studies.

Project description:BackgroundActivation of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is linked to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), with a strong association between LIF expression and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). MSC-1 (AZD0171) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to LIF, promoting antitumor inflammation through TAM modulation and cancer stem cell inhibition, slowing tumor growth. In this phase I, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study, MSC-1 monotherapy was assessed in patients with advanced, unresectable solid tumors.Materials and methodsUsing accelerated-titration dose escalation followed by a 3 + 3 design, MSC-1 doses of 75-1500 mg were administered intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W) until progression or unmanageable toxicity. Additional patients were enrolled in selected cohorts to further evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics after escalation to the next dose had been approved. The primary objective was characterizing safety and determining the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Evaluating antitumor activity and progression-free survival (PFS) by RECIST v1.1, PK and immunogenicity were secondary objectives. Exploratory objectives included pharmacodynamic effects on circulating LIF and TME immune markers.ResultsForty-one patients received treatment. MSC-1 monotherapy was safe and well tolerated at all doses, with no dose-limiting toxicities. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached and the RP2D was determined to be 1500 mg Q3W. Almost half of the patients had treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), with no apparent trends across doses; no patients withdrew due to TRAEs. There were no objective responses; 23.7% had stable disease for ≥2 consecutive tumor assessments. Median PFS was 5.9 weeks; 23.7% had PFS >16 weeks. On-treatment changes in circulating LIF and TME signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 signaling, M1:M2 macrophage populations, and CD8+ T-cell infiltration were consistent with the hypothesized mechanism of action.ConclusionsMSC-1 was very well tolerated across doses, with prolonged PFS in some patients. Biomarker and preclinical data suggest potential synergy with checkpoint inhibitors.
