Phase I Trial of Combination of FOLFIRI and SOM 230

ABSTRACT: This is a single-arm, open-label, phase I study of combination therapy with SOM 230 and FOLFIRI. We will utilize a sequential dose-escalation design to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SOM 230 when combined with standard doses of FOLFIRI.

Project description:We report the RNA sequencing data from the REPEAT study, in which patients with beyond first-line esophagogastric cancer were treated with regorafenib and paclitaxel. For the RNA sequencing, biopsies from metastatic lesions were obtained on baseline (n=21) and fifteen days following treatment initiation (n=13). PURPOSE: Regorafenib monotherapy, a multikinase-inhibitor of angiogenesis, tumor microenvironment, and oncogenesis, showed promising results in gastric cancer. We aimed to assess the tolerability of regorafenib and paclitaxel in advanced esophagogastric cancer (EGC) patients refractory to first-line treatment, and explore potential biomarkers. METHODS: Patients received paclitaxel (80 mg/m2) on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle and regorafenib (80/120/160 mg) on day 1-21 in the dose-escalation cohort, and the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) in the dose-expansion cohort. Exploratory, overall- (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared to a propensity-score matched cohort receiving standard second/third line systemic treatment. Paclitaxel pharmacokinetics were assessed using D1 and D15 samples. We performed ELISA measurements of galectin-1, RNA sequencing and shallow whole-genome sequencing of metastatic tumor biopsies for biomarker analyses. RESULTS: In the dose-escalation cohort (n=14), the MTD of regorafenib was 120 mg. Thirty-four patients were enrolled in the dose-expansion cohort. Most common toxicities (all grades; grade ≥3) were fatigue (79%; 4%) and sensory neuropathy (63%; 4%). Best responses achieved were partial response (28%) and stable disease (54%). Median OS and PFS were 7.8 and 4.2 months, respectively (median follow-up 7.8 months). OS (p=0.08) and PFS (p=0.81) were not significantly improved compared to the matched cohort. Paclitaxel concentrations were significantly increased with regorafenib (D15) compared with paclitaxel only (D1; p<0.05); no associations were observed with toxicity or efficacy. An increase in circulating galectin-1 compared to baseline was associated with shorter OS (p<0.01). Enrichment of angiogenesis-related gene expression was observed in short-survivors measured by RNA sequencing. Chromosome 19q13.12-q13.2 amplification was associated with shorter OS (p=0.02) and PFS (p=0.02). CONCLUSION: Treatment with regorafenib and paclitaxel is tolerable and shows promising efficacy in advanced EGC refractory to first-line treatment. Galectin-1 and chromosome 19q13.12-q13.2 amplification could serve as negative predictive biomarkers for treatment response.

Project description:An alternative or follow-up adjunct to conventional maximum tolerated dose (MTD) chemotherapy now in advanced phase III clinical trial assessment is metronomic chemotherapy?the close regular administration of low doses of drug with no prolonged breaks. A number of preclinical studies have shown metronomic chemotherapy can cause long term survival of mice with advanced cancer, including metastatic disease, in the absence of overt toxicity, especially when combined with targeted antiangiogenic drugs. However, similar to MTD chemotherapy acquired resistance eventually develops, the basis of which is unknown. Using a preclinical model of advanced human ovarian (SKOV-3-13) cancer in SCID mice, we show that acquired resistance can develop after terminating prolonged (over 3 months) successful therapy utilizing daily oral metronomic topotecan plus pazopanib, an oral antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Two resistant sublines were isolated from a single mouse, one from a solid tumor (called KH092-7SD, referred to as 7SD) and another from ascites tumor cells (called KH092-7AS, referred to as 7AS). Using these sublines we show acquired resistance to the combination treatment is due to tumor cell alterations that confer relative refractoriness to topotecan. The resistant phenotype is heritable, associated with reduced cellular uptake of topotecan and could not be reversed by switching to MTD topotecan or to another topoisomerase-1 inhibitor, CPT-11, given either in a metronomic or MTD manner nor switching to another antiangiogenic drug, e.g. the anti-VEGFR-2 antibody, DC101, or another TKI, sunitinib. Thus, in this case cross resistance seems to exist between MTD and metronomic topotecan, the basis of which is unknown. However, gene expression profiling revealed several potential genes that are stably upregulated in the resistant lines, that previously have been implicated in resistance to various chemotherapy drugs, and which, therefore, may contribute to the drug resistant phenotype. Two-condition experiment, ovarian cell line (SKOV-3-13) sensitive to daily oral metronomic topotecan plus pazopaniband treatemnt compared to two in- vivo selected resistant sublines from a solid tumor (called KH092-7SD) and another from ascites tumor cells (called KH092-7AS). Biological replicates: 4 independently grown and harvested cell line passages. Two technical replicate per condition (including dye swap).
