The WINGMEN trial aims to understand how a hormone-like protein called insulin-like growth factor (IGF) helps prostate cancers grow and become aggressive. IGF is required for normal development, and also helps cancers grow and spread. Men with high blood IGF are at increased risk of developing prostate cancer, and tall men are more likely to get aggressive prostate cancer. The WINGMEN trial will recruit 30 men with prostate cancer who have been offered an operation to remove the prostate. Most men have to wait 4-5 weeks between a decision to have prostate removal surgery, and actually having the operation. In this 4-5 week window we will offer treatment with a new IGF-blocker drug called xentuzumab. The drug is provided by Boehringer Ingelheim and the trial is funded by Prostate Cancer UK.
Xentuzumab will be given as an outpatient by once weekly intravenous infusion (drip) in the Early Phase Clinical Trials Unit, Oxford Cancer Centre, Churchill Hospital. In other trials, xentuzumab is being tested in patients with advanced cancer, and is proving to be well-tolerated. After the 4-week treatment, WINGMEN trial patients will have routine prostate removal surgery. Samples of blood and prostate cancer that are surplus to diagnostic need will be taken from the diagnostic prostate biopsy (pre-xentuzumab) and the cancer removed at surgery (after xentuzumab) for research tests. These samples will be compared to measure how effectively xentuzumab reduces signs of tumour growth, and identify which genes and proteins are switched on or off by xentuzumab, and which may therefore be important in helping IGF promote prostate cancer growth. The information we get from the WINGMEN trial may help us to improve treatment of men with prostate cancer, with the long-term aim of reducing the risk of aggressive prostate cancer

BACKGROUND:

This multicentre, open-label, Phase Ib/II trial evaluated the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1/2 neutralising antibody xentuzumab plus enzalutamide in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

METHODS:

The trial included Phase Ib escalation and expansion parts and a randomised Phase II part versus enzalutamide alone. Primary endpoints in the Phase Ib escalation, Phase Ib expansion and Phase II parts were maximum tolerated dose (MTD), prostate-specific antigen response and investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), respectively. Patients in the Phase Ib escalation and Phase II parts had progressed on/after docetaxel/abiraterone.

RESULTS:

In the Phase Ib escalation (n = 10), no dose-limiting toxicities were reported, and xentuzumab 1000 mg weekly plus enzalutamide 160 mg daily (Xe1000 + En160) was defined as the MTD and recommended Phase 2 dose. In the Phase Ib expansion (n = 24), median PFS was 8.2 months, and one patient had a confirmed, long-term response. In Phase II (n = 86), median PFS for the Xe1000 + En160 and En160 arms was 7.4 and 6.2 months, respectively. Subgroup analysis suggested trends towards benefit with Xe1000 + En160 in patients whose tumours had high levels of IGF1 mRNA or PTEN protein. Overall, the combination was well tolerated.

CONCLUSIONS:

Xentuzumab plus enzalutamide was tolerable but lacked antitumour activity in unselected patients with mCRPC.

XENERA-1: a randomised double-blind Phase II trial of xentuzumab in combination with everolimus and exemestane versus everolimus and exemestane in patients with hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer and non-visceral disease.

Article

BACKGROUND:

Xentuzumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody that binds to IGF-1 and IGF-2, neutralising their proliferative activity and restoring inhibition of AKT by everolimus. This study evaluated the addition of xentuzumab to everolimus and exemestane in patients with advanced breast cancer with non-visceral disease.

METHODS:

This double-blind, randomised, Phase II study was undertaken in female patients with hormone-receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer with non-visceral disease who had received prior endocrine therapy with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors. Patients received a weekly intravenous infusion of xentuzumab (1000 mg) or placebo in combination with everolimus (10 mg/day orally) and exemestane (25 mg/day orally). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) per independent review.

RESULTS:

A total of 103 patients were randomised and 101 were treated (n = 50 in the xentuzumab arm and n = 51 in the placebo arm). The trial was unblinded early due to high rates of discordance between independent and investigator assessment of PFS. Per independent assessment, median PFS was 12.7 (95% CI 6.8-29.3) months with xentuzumab and 11.0 (7.7-19.5) months with placebo (hazard ratio 1.19; 95% CI 0.55-2.59; p = 0.6534). Per investigator assessment, median PFS was 7.4 (6.8-9.7) months with xentuzumab and 9.2 (5.6-14.4) months with placebo (hazard ratio 1.23; 95% CI 0.69-2.20; p = 0.4800). Tolerability was similar between the arms, with diarrhoea (33.3-56.0%), fatigue (33.3-44.0%) and headache (21.6-40.0%) being the most common treatment-emergent adverse events. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 hyperglycaemia was similar between the xentuzumab (2.0%) and placebo (5.9%) arms.

CONCLUSIONS:

While this study demonstrated that xentuzumab could be safely combined with everolimus and exemestane in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer with non-visceral disease, there was no PFS benefit with the addition of xentuzumab.

Abstract:

Management of hepatoblastoma (HB), the most frequent pediatric liver cancer, is based on surgical resection and perioperative chemotherapy regimens. In this study, we aimed to identify actionable targets in HB and assess the efficacy of molecular therapies in preclinical models of HB. Paired tumor and adjacent tissues from 31 HBs and a validation set of 50 HBs were analyzed using RNA-seq, SNP, and methylation arrays. IGF2 overexpression was identified as the top targetable HB driver, present in 71% of HBs (22/31). IGF2high tumors displayed progenitor cell features and shorter recurrence-free survival. IGF2 overexpression was associated in 91% of cases with fetal promoter hypomethylation, ICR1 deregulation, 11p15.5 loss of heterozygosity or miR483-5p overexpression. The antitumor effect of xentuzumab (a monoclonal antibody targeting IGF1/2) alone or in combination with the conventional therapeutic agent cisplatin was assessed in HB cell lines, in PDX-derived HB organoids and in a xenograft HB murine model. The combination of xentuzumab with cisplatin showed strong synergistic antitumor effects in organoids and in IGF2high cell lines. In mice (n = 55), the combination induced a significant decrease in tumor volume and improved survival compared with cisplatin alone. These results suggest that IGF2 is an HB actionable driver and that, in preclinical models of HB, the combination of IGF1/2 inhibition with cisplatin induces superior antitumor effects than cisplatin monotherapy. Overall, our study provides a rationale for testing IGF2 inhibitors in combination with cisplatin in HB patients with IGF2 overexpression.
