Multisite Radiotherapy Combined With Tislelizumab for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With Second-Line and Above Therapy Failure: Study Protocol for an Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase Ib/II Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tislelizumab combined with radiotherapy as a salvage treatment for patients with end-stage metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is not reported. This study aimed to describe a protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multisite radiotherapy combined with tislelizumab as a salvage therapy for mCRPC in patients who had at least one second-line treatment failure.

Methods

The study included patients with mCRPC who had at least one lesion suitable for radiotherapy and failed androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), followed by at least one novel second-line endocrine therapy. All patients received tislelizumab monotherapy induction therapy for two cycles, then combined with multisite radiotherapy for one cycle, followed by tislelizumab maintenance therapy, until either disease progressed or the patient developed unacceptable toxicity. Radiation methods and lesions were individually selected according to the specified protocol. Primary endpoints included safety and objective response rate. Secondary endpoints included prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate, disease control rate, overall survival, radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS). Furthermore, the exploratory endpoints included the identification of the predictive biomarkers and exploration of the correlation between biomarkers and the tumor response to the combined regimen.

Discussion

This study included three treatment stages to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy and the combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy for patients with mCRPC who have had at least second-line treatment failure. Additionally, radiation-related and immune-related early and late toxicities were determined, respectively. Furthermore, the study also aimed to identify the predictive biomarkers associated with immunotherapy for treating mCRPC.

Project description:IntroductionConcurrent chemoradiotherapy is considered the standard treatment strategy for locally advanced cervical cancer. Most recent reports indicate that patients with bulky tumours or adenocarcinoma subtypes have poorer local control. Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) with the concurrent use of chemotherapy has shown promising results in such cases of difficult-to-treat uterine cervical cancer. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) upregulation was observed in tumour tissue samples from patients who had undergone CIRT. Thus, a combination of CIRT and anti-PD-L1 antibody may suppress metastasis by activating antitumour immune response, in addition to exhibiting strong local effects.ObjectiveWe will assess the safety and tolerability (primary endpoint) of the concomitant use of durvalumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, with CIRT and weekly cisplatin for locally advanced cervical cancer.Methods and analysisThis study is a non-randomised, open-label, prospective phase 1b study. Up to 10 patients with histologically proven uterine cervical cancer at stage IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC1 or IVA as per International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (2018) staging will be enrolled. All patients will receive CIRT of 74.4 Gy relative biological effectiveness in 20 fractions over 5 weeks (four fractions per week). Weekly cisplatin at a dose of 40 mg/m2 will be administrated up to five times. Durvalumab at a dose of 1500 mg/body will be administrated at weeks 2 and 6. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated based on the frequency of dose-limiting toxicities until 92 days after CIRT starts. Patients will be followed-up strictly as per the scheduled protocol for 1 year after CIRT initiation.Ethics and disseminationThe Human Research Ethics Committees of QST Hospital (#C21-002) and Chiba University (#2021006) have approved this study protocol. The findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific conferences.Trial registration numberJapan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCT2031210083), registered on 12 May 2021.

Project description:BackgroundRadiation therapy is an integral part of the multimodal primary therapy of glioblastomas. As the overall prognosis in this tumor entity remains unfavorable, current research is focused on additional drug therapies, which are often accompanied by increases in toxicity. By using proton beams instead of photon beams, it is possible to protect large parts of the brain which are not affected by the tumor more effectively. An initial retrospective matched-pair analysis showed that this theoretical physical benefit is also clinically associated with a reduction in toxicity during therapy and in the first few months thereafter.Methods/designThe GRIPS trial is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomized, two-arm, phase III study using either intensity modulated photon radiation techniques (standard arm) or proton beam radiotherapy (experimental arm). Additionally, patients are stratified according to "fractionation scheme" (normofractionated/hypofractionated), "subventricular zone involvement" (yes/no) and concurrent chemotherapy (yes/no) and the planned case number is 326 patients. Radiation therapy is performed with a dose of 30 × 2 Gy(RBE) or 33 × 1.8 Gy(RBE), or for patients treated according to the hypofractionation protocol with 15 × 2.67 Gy(RBE). A possible administration of additional chemotherapy (concurrent or adjuvant) or tumor treating fields is applied in dosage and frequency according to the therapy standard outside of this study. The primary endpoint is the cumulative rate of toxicity CTC grade 2 and higher in the first 4 months. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, quality of life, and neurocognition.DiscussionAim of the GRIPS study is to prospectively assess whether the theoretical physical advantage of proton beam radiotherapy will translate into a clinical reduction of toxicity during and in the first months after therapy.

Project description:Background Selinexor, a first-in-class, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound inhibits Exportin-1(XPO1), had demonstrated synergistic activity with many chemotherapies and conferred in vivo antitumor efficacy in hematologic as well as solid tumors. Methods This open-label, single-center, multi-arm phase 1b study used a standard 3 + 3 design and a "basket type" expansion. Selinexor with intravenous topotecan was given in one of the 13 parallel arms. Patients with advanced or metastatic relapsed/refractory solid tumors following prior systemic therapy, or in whom the addition of selinexor to standard chemotherapy deemed appropriate, were eligible. Results Fourteen patients with the median age of 61 years (range, 22-68years) were treated, and the most common cancer types were gynecological cancers; ovarian (n = 5), endometrial (n = 2), and 1 each with fallopian tube and vaginal cancers. Of the 14 patients treated, 12 (86 %) had at least one treatment-related adverse event (TRAE). The most common TRAEs were anemia (71 %), thrombocytopenia (57 %), hyponatremia (57 %), vomiting (57 %), fatigue (50 %), nausea (50 %), and neutropenia (36 %). Two patients had dose limiting toxicities. One patient dosed at selinexor 80 mg had grade 3 nausea and vomiting and one patient dosed at selinexor 60 mg experienced grade 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Of the 13 efficacy evaluable patients, one (8 %) with endometrial cancer achieved unconfirmed partial response (uPR) and the time-to-treatment failure (TTF) was 48 weeks, whereas 6 of the 13 (46 %) patients had stable disease (SD) contributing to the clinical benefit rate of 46 %. The median TTF for all patients was 9 weeks (range, 2-48weeks). Conclusions Once weekly selinexor in combination with topotecan was viable and showed some preliminary tumor efficacy. The recommend phase 2 dose of selinexor was 60 mg once weekly in combination with IV topotecan.Trial registration: NCT02419495.

Project description:Tislelizumab is an investigational, humanized, IgG4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity for programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) that was engineered to minimize binding to FcγR on macrophages in order to abrogate antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a mechanism of T-cell clearance and potential resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. The purpose of this phase 1/2, open-label, non-comparative study was to examine the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of tislelizumab in adult (≥18 years) Chinese patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumors with measurable disease. The phase 1 portion of the study consisted of a dose-verification study and a pharmacokinetic (PK) substudy; phase 2 was an indication-expansion study including 11 solid tumor cohorts. Patients previously treated with therapies targeting PD-1 or its ligand, programmed cell death ligand-1 were excluded. During dose-verification, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were monitored; safety and tolerability were examined and the previously determined recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was verified. The primary endpoint of phase 2 was investigator-assessed objective response rate per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors V.1.1. As of December 1, 2018, 300 patients were treated with tislelizumab 200 mg intravenously once every 3 weeks (Q3W). Median duration of follow-up was 8.1 months (range 0.2-21.9). No DLTs were reported during the phase 1 dose-verification study and the RP2D was confirmed to be 200 mg intravenously Q3W. Most treatment-related adverse events (62%) were grade 1 or 2, with the most common being anemia (n=70; 23%) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (n=67; 22%). Of the 251 efficacy evaluable patients, 45 (18%) achieved a confirmed clinical response, including one patient from the PK substudy who achieved a complete response. Median duration of response was not reached for all except the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cohort (8.3 months). Antitumor responses were observed in multiple tumor types. Tislelizumab was generally well tolerated among Chinese patients. Antitumor activity was observed in patients with multiple solid tumors. CTR20160872.
