Safety and efficacy of the tumor-selective adenovirus enadenotucirev with or without paclitaxel in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer: a phase 1 clinical trial.

ABSTRACT: Treatment outcomes remain poor in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Enadenotucirev, a tumor-selective and blood stable adenoviral vector, has demonstrated a manageable safety profile in phase 1 studies in epithelial solid tumors. We conducted a multicenter, open-label, phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study (OCTAVE) to assess enadenotucirev plus paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer. During phase 1a, the maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneally administered enadenotucirev monotherapy (three doses; days 1, 8 and 15) was assessed using a 3+3 dose-escalation model. Phase 1b included a dose-escalation and an intravenous dosing dose-expansion phase assessing enadenotucirev plus paclitaxel. For phase 1a/b, the primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose of enadenotucirev (with paclitaxel in phase 1b). In the dose-expansion phase, the primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Additional endpoints included response rate and T-cell infiltration. Overall, 38 heavily pretreated patients were enrolled and treated. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed at any doses. However, frequent catheter complications led to the discontinuation of intraperitoneal dosing during phase 1b. Intravenous enadenotucirev (1×1012 viral particles; days 1, 3 and 5 every 28-days for two cycles) plus paclitaxel (80 mg/m2; days 9, 16 and 23 of each cycle) was thus selected for dose-expansion. Overall, 24/38 (63%) patients experienced at least 1 Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE); most frequently neutropenia (21%). Six patients discontinued treatment due to TEAEs, including one patient due to a grade 2 treatment-emergent serious AE of catheter site infection (intraperitoneal enadenotucirev monotherapy). Among the 20 patients who received intravenous enadenotucirev plus paclitaxel, 4-month PFS rate was 64% (median 6.2 months), objective response rate was 10%, 35% of patients achieved stable disease and 65% of patients had a reduction in target lesion burden at ≥1 time point. Five out of six patients with matched pre-treatment and post-treatment biopsies treated with intravenous enadenotucirev plus paclitaxel had increased (mean 3.1-fold) infiltration of CD8 +T cells in post-treatment biopsies. Intravenously dosed enadenotucirev plus paclitaxel demonstrated manageable tolerability, an encouraging median PFS and increased tumor immune-cell infiltration in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. NCT02028117.

Project description:ImportancePatients with platinum-resistant or refractory ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (PR-HGSC) have a poor prognosis and few therapeutic options. Preclinical studies support targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in this setting, and a phase 1 study of the dual mTORC1/mTORC2 inhibitor vistusertib with weekly paclitaxel showed activity.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether the addition of vistusertib to weekly paclitaxel improves clinical outcomes in patients with PR-HGSC.Design, setting, and participantsThis phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter randomized clinical trial recruited patients from UK cancer centers between January 2016 and March 2018. Patients with PR-HGSC of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal origin and with measurable or evaluable disease (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 and/or Gynecological Cancer Intergroup cancer antigen 125 criteria) were eligible. There were no restrictions on number of lines of prior therapy. Data analysis was performed from May 2019 to January 2022.InterventionsPatients were randomized (1:1) to weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle) plus oral vistusertib (50 mg twice daily) or placebo.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end point was progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population. Secondary end points included response rate, overall survival, and quality of life.ResultsA total of 140 patients (median [range] age, 63 [36-86] years; 17.9% with platinum-refractory disease; 53.6% with ≥3 prior therapies) were randomized. In the paclitaxel plus vistusertib vs paclitaxel plus placebo groups, there was no difference in progression-free survival (median, 4.5 vs 4.1 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.84; 80% CI, 0.67-1.07; 1-sided P = .18), overall survival (median, 9.7 vs 11.1 months; HR, 1.21; 80% CI, 0.91-1.60) or response rate (odds ratio, 0.86; 80% CI, 0.55-1.36). Grade 3 to 4 adverse events were 41.2% (weekly paclitaxel plus vistusertib) vs 36.7% (weekly paclitaxel plus placebo), and there was no difference in quality of life.Conclusions and relevanceIn this randomized clinical trial of weekly paclitaxel and dual mTORC1/2 inhibition in patients with PR-HGSC, vistusertib did not improve clinical activity of weekly paclitaxel.Trial registrationisrctn.org Identifier: ISRCTN16426935.

Project description:BackgroundAlmost all patients with ovarian cancer will experience relapse and eventually develop platinum-resistant. The poor prognosis and limited treatment options have prompted the search for novel approaches in managing platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) /VEGF receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors for PROC.MethodsA comprehensive search of online databases was conducted to identify randomized clinical trials published until December 31, 2022. Pooled hazard ratios (HR) was calculated for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), while pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated for objective response rate (ORR) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Subgroup analysis was further performed to investigate the source of heterogeneity.ResultsIn total, 1097 patients from eight randomized clinical trials were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled HRs of OS (HR = 0.72; 95% CI: 0.62-0.84, p < 0.0001) and PFS (HR = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.45-0.59, p < 0.0001) demonstrated a significant prolongation in the combination group compared to chemotherapy alone for PROC. In addition, combination therapy demonstrated a superior ORR compared to monotherapy (OR = 2.34; 95%CI: 1.27-4.32, p < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis indicated that the combination treatment of VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and chemotherapy was significantly more effective than monochemotherapy in terms of OS (HR = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.61-0.84, p < 0.0001), PFS (HR = 0.49; 95% CI: 0.42-0.57, p < 0.0001), and ORR (OR = 2.97; 95% CI: 1.89-4.67, p < 0.0001). Although the combination therapy was associated with higher incidences of hypertension, mucositis, proteinuria, diarrhea, and hand-foot syndrome compared to monochemotherapy, these toxicities were manageable and well-tolerated.ConclusionsThe meta-analysis demonstrated that combination therapy with VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors yielded better clinical outcomes for patients with PROC compared to monochemotherapy, especially when combined with chemotherapy. This analysis provides more treatment options for patients with PROC.Systematic review registration[ https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO ], Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO), identifier: CRD42023402050.

Project description:Patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) often suffer from disease relapse associated with the emergence of resistance to standard platinum‑based chemotherapy. Treatment of patients with chemo‑resistant disease remains a clinical challenge. One mechanism of chemoresistance includes overexpression of pro‑survival proteins called inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) which enable cancer cells to evade apoptosis. Due to their anti‑apoptotic activity, association with poor prognosis, and correlation with therapy resistance in multiple malignancies, IAP proteins have become an attractive target for development of anticancer therapeutics. Second mitochondrial activator of caspase (SMAC) mimetics are the most widely used IAP antagonists currently being tested in clinical trials as a monotherapy and in combination with different chemotherapeutic drugs to target different types of cancer. In the present study, the antitumor efficacy of combination therapy with birinapant, a bivalent SMAC mimetic compound, and carboplatin to target platinum‑resistant EOC cells was investigated. A 3D organoid bioassay was utilized to test the efficacy of the combination therapy in a panel of 7 EOC cell lines and 10 platinum‑resistant primary patient tumor samples. Findings from the in vitro studies demonstrated that the birinapant and carboplatin combination was effective in targeting a subset of ovarian cancer cell lines and platinum‑resistant primary patient tumor samples. This combination therapy was also effective in vitro and in vivo in targeting a platinum‑resistant patient‑derived xenograft (PDX) model established from one of the patient tumors tested. Overall, our study demonstrated that birinapant and carboplatin combination could target a subset of platinum‑resistant ovarian cancers and also highlights the potential of the 3D organoid bioassay as a preclinical tool to assess the response to chemotherapy or targeted therapies in ovarian cancer.
