Phase Ib/II Study to Evaluate Safety and Tolerability of Neoadjuvant Nivolumab and Chemotherapy in Patients With Localized Triple-negative Breast Cancer

Prior to Amendment #7: The hypothesis of this study is that the combination of cabiralizumab and nivolumab with neoadjuvant chemotherapy will decrease tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and increase tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus nivolumab in patients with early stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and improve clinical outcomes.
As of Amendment #7 IRB approved 10/13/2022: The study will no longer enroll to Arm B. Cabiralizumab will no longer be given. The hypothesis of this study is that on-treatment tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) will improve (reduced TAMs, increased TILs) following neoadjuvant nivolumab with chemotherapy.

Author: Pitroda, Sean P ; Bestvina, Christine M ; Lynch, Connor ; Korpics, Mark C ; Chmura, Steven J ; Juloori, Aditya ; Patel, Jyoti D ; Katipally, Rohan R ; Luke, Jason J

BACKGROUNDStereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is safe and effective for treatment of extracranial metastatic disease, but its safety when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has not yet been comprehensively reported. Here we report adverse events (AEs) associated with combined SBRT and ICI using prospectively-collected data on patients in three trials investigating multi-site SBRT combined with ICI.METHODSPatients were included from three prospective trials of ICI (pembrolizumab; nivolumab/urelumab or nivolumab/cabiralizumab; nivolumab/ipilimumab) with SBRT to 1-4 sites. AEs were recorded prospectively using the CTCAE v4.0. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method with a 90-day landmark. Association of patient characteristics with cumulative incidence of AEs was assessed using Fine-Gray regression.RESULTS213 patients were included, with a median follow-up of 10 months. Over the follow-up period, 50 % and 27 % of patients experienced at least one grade ≥ 2 or grade ≥ 3 AE, respectively. Cumulative incidences of grade ≥ 2 and grade ≥ 3 AEs at 6 months were 47 % and 23 %, respectively. Three grade 5 AEs rated "possibly" related to treatment occurred outside the 90-day dose-limiting toxicity window. Landmarked survival analysis of patients with or without grade ≥ 3 AEs showed no significant difference in progression-free or overall survival. Dual-agent ICI was significantly associated with grade ≥ 3 AE.CONCLUSIONThis analysis features the largest prospectively evaluated cohort of patients treated with combination ablative SBRT and ICI to date and provides context for future trial design. We conclude that multi-site SBRT and ICI can be safely co-administered when SBRT is delivered with prioritization of normal tissue constraints.

Predictors of Hepatotoxicity in Patients with Metastatic Solid Tumors Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibition (ICI) and Liver-Directed SBRT.

Article

Author: Bestvina, C M ; Korpics, M C ; Chmura, S J ; Pitroda, S P ; Juloori, A ; Katipally, R R ; Lynch, C

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S)Liver-metastasis-directed SBRT (LM-SBRT) alone provides durable local control for liver metastases with low rates of toxicity when adhering to established dose constraints. Whether these constraints are sufficient in the context of concurrent ICI is not established. To determine whether LM-SBRT contributes to hepatotoxic adverse events (HAE) in patients receiving ICI, we analyzed potential predictors of HAE in a prospectively evaluated cohort of clinical trial patients treated with both SBRT and ICI.MATERIALS/METHODSPatients with metastatic solid tumors were included from three trials of multi-site SBRT with ICI given concurrently or shortly after SBRT provided they received all study treatments and were monitored for adverse events. ICI agents included pembrolizumab alone or dual agent ICI with nivolumab and either cabiralizumab, urelumab, or ipilimumab. LM-SBRT was delivered to 45 Gy in 3 fr with mean liver dose (MLD) limited to 16 Gy and <700 cc of liver receiving 17.1 Gy. HAE were defined using CTCAE 4.0 as: elevation of AST, ALT, bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase; autoimmune hepatitis; hepatic failure; or cholecystitis. HAE were included if rated at least possibly related to treatment by the trial monitoring committee. Cumulative incidence (CI) of HAE was modeled with death as a competing risk. Competing risks regression was performed using Fine-Gray modeling.RESULTSTwo hundred thirteen patients were evaluable. Median follow-up was 10 months. Median age was 61, 90 had liver metastases at treatment, 65 received SBRT to a liver lesion, 15 had underlying liver disease (cirrhosis or hepatic steatosis) and 13 patients had a primary liver cancer. Dual agent ICI was given to 97 patients. Table 1 shows CI at 6 months of grades 1-4 HAE in all patients, LM-SBRT patients and non-liver SBRT patients (NL-SBRT). None experienced grade 5 HAE. There was no significant difference in CI of any grade of HAE between LM-SBRT and NL-SBRT patients. This was also true when comparing LM-SBRT patients to NL-SBRT patients with <0.1 Gy MLD. ICI dose reduction or cessation due to HAE occurred in 4 patients, none of whom received LM-SBRT. On univariate analysis, underlying liver disease and dual agent ICI were significantly associated with grade 2+ HAE while age, LM-SBRT, MLD, primary liver cancer and presence of liver metastases at treatment were not. On multivariate analysis, underlying liver disease and dual agent ICI remained significantly associated with grade 2+ HAE (HR: 6.7, 95% CI 2.3 - 19.1; 4.7, 95% CI 1.7 - 13.0). LM-SBRT and MLD were not significant on MVA.CONCLUSIONLM-SBRT did not significantly increase the risk for hepatotoxicity in patients receiving ICI when respecting the above dose constraints. Risk for hepatotoxicity appears to be driven by dual agent ICI and underlying liver disease.

AbstractPurpose:CD137 agonism and CSF1R blockade augment stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and anti-programmed death-1 in preclinical models. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of SBRT with nivolumab+urelumab (CD137 agonist) or nivolumab+cabiralizumab (CSF1R inhibitor).Patients and Methods:This phase I clinical trial enrolled patients with advanced solid tumors that had progressed on standard therapies. SBRT was delivered to 1–4 metastases with nivolumab+urelumab or nivolumab+cabiralizumab given concurrently and following SBRT. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was the primary endpoint with anatomic location-specific SBRT doses deemed safe if ≤33% DLT frequency was observed. Secondary endpoints included RECISTv1.1 response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and molecular correlative studies.Results:Sixty patients were enrolled, and median follow-up for living patients is 13.8 months. Of these, 23 (38%) received SBRT+nivolumab+urelumab and 37 (62%) received SBRT+nivolumab+cabiralizumab. Seven patients (12%) experienced a DLT (n = 3 grade 3, n = 4 grade 4) in the following anatomic cohorts: abdominal/pelvic (3/17, 18%), liver (1/13, 8%), central lung (2/14, 14%), and peripheral lung (1/12, 8%). Of 41 patients radiographically evaluable for best overall response including 55 radiated and 23 unirradiated RECIST target lesions, 2 had complete responses (5%), 7 had partial responses (17%), 12 had stable disease (29%), and 20 had progression (49%). Median estimated PFS and OS are 3.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.9–4.8] and 17.0 months (95% CI, 6.8–undetermined), respectively. No patients with elevated pre-SBRT serum IL8 experienced a response.Conclusions:SBRT to ≤4 sites with nivolumab+urelumab or nivolumab+cabiralizumab for treating advanced solid tumors is feasible with acceptable toxicity and modest antitumor activity.See related commentary by Rodriguez-Ruiz et al., p. 5443

Pancreatic Cancer Overview Pancreatic cancer develops in the pancreas tissues, an abdomen organ located behind the stomach's bottom portion. The pancreas secretes hormones that help control blood sugar and enzymes that aid digestion. Pancreatic cancer is a condition in which malignant (cancer) cells develop in pancreatic tissues. The pancreas can develop tumors in various ways, including malignant and noncancerous tumors. However, the precise causes of pancreatic cancer are unknown. Individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer before the tumor develops or spreads have an average life expectancy of pancreatic cancer of 3 to 3.5 years. Pancreatic cancer symptoms may include jaundice, dark urine, weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, and others. A pancreatic cancer diagnosis is difficult because symptoms are frequently confused with those of other disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome. The extent of the cancer determines the treatment of pancreatic cancer options. Pancreatic cancer treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these.

Amgen’s $1.9B Five Prime deal adds to cancer drug pipeline and Asia strategy

Amgen, which is looking to bolster its cancer drug pipeline and build its presence in Asia, is acquiring Five Prime Therapeutics in a $1.9 billion deal that checks off both goals. On Thursday, Amgen announced it has agreed to pay $38 cash for each share of Five Prime, a more than 70 percent premium to the company’s closing stock price on Wednesday. Five Prime develops immuno-oncology drugs and targeted cancer therapies. The jewel of the South San Francisco-based biotech’s pipeline is bemarituzumab (usually shortened to “bema”), an antibody ready to advance to Phase 3 testing in gastric cancer. “This deal advances our strategic imperative to grow our business internationally, and in Asia-Pacific in particular, where gastric cancer is highly prevalent and where we previously stated we expect to generate roughly 25% of revenue growth over the next 10 years,” Amgen Chief Financial Officer Peter Griffin said on a conference call. For Five Prime, acquisition by the Thousand Oaks, California-based pharma giant represents a lifeline following a series of clinical and financial setbacks in recent years that left much of the biotech’s fortunes resting on its lead antibody drug. Gastric cancer accounts for more than one million cancer diagnoses globally and is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, trailing only lung and colorectal cancers. Five Prime does not aim to address all gastric cancers. The company designed bema to target fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), a tumor growth protein overexpressed in an estimated 10% of gastric cancer patients. In 2019, with encouraging safety results from a small Phase 1 study, Five Prime set out to jump straight into Phase 3. The company began enrolling patients, while at the same time hunting for a partner that could execute the full clinical trial. According to Five Prime’s 2019 annual report, the plan was to conduct an early analysis to assess efficacy of the treatment. Depending on the outcome, the company could continue the trial as a Phase 3 test, stop the study, or amend the clinical trial design. Five Prime noted in the report that even if it received clearance from the independent data monitoring committee to proceed with the Phase 3 plan, carrying out that study would require securing a pharma partner to pay for it. But potential partners told the company it was unlikely to land a collaborator without data from previously untreated patients with gastric or gastroesophogeal cancers. Last year, the company pivoted from its Phase 3 plan and instead began a randomized Phase 2 study. The Phase 2 results came through last November, showing that the Five Prime drug, in combination with standard of care chemotherapy, met the study’s main goals compared to treatment with chemotherapy alone. But the results were not without problems. Inflammation of the cornea, as well as stomatitis, which is inflammation of the mouth and lips, were higher in the bema group. Also, more patients dropped out of the treatment group than the control arm. David Reese, Amgen’s executive vice president of research and development, said corneal inflammation was not unexpected because the protein that bema targets is also expressed on corneal cells. That problem can be addressed in future studies with eye drops. Reese added that stomatitis was less of a driver in patients dropping out of the study. The inflammation is a known side effect of the chemotherapy, he said. Amgen will proceed with a Phase 3 test of bema. Gastric cancer is the lead target, but Reese said the pharma giant will also explore other cancers driven by FGFR2b, such as squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, breast and ovarian cancers, and other solid tumors. Looking further down the road, Reese said Amgen would explore combinations with other types of cancer drugs, such as checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Acquisition by Amgen marks the latest twist in a long road for Five Prime. Founded in 2002 by Bay Area biotech veteran Lewis “Rusty” Williams, the company set out with drug discovery technology that identified proteins on cells that contribute to disease. The company used that technology to design protein drugs addressing those targets, leveraging the platform into partnerships with bigger companies including GlaxoSmithKline, UCB, and Bristol Myers Squibb. In 2013, with drugs for inflammatory diseases and cancer in clinical testing, Williams took Five Prime public, raising $62.4 million in an IPO priced at $13 per share. Some of Five Prime’s drugs found their way into testing in combination with cancer therapies from its partners. Cabiralizumab, a Five Prime antibody developed to block a protein called colony-stimulating factor-1, was tested in combination with BMS’s nivolumab. But the drug disappointed in 2017 after data from an early-stage test showed higher than expected toxicity. In early 2019, Five Prime restructured to save cash. Jobs in research, pathology, and manufacturing were eliminated. Later that year, the biotech restructured again and eliminated most of its workers involved in discovering drug targets and creating therapeutic proteins. According to a Five Prime securities filing, most of the company’s lab equipment was auctioned off last April. Five Prime implemented the corporate shakeups to keep its focus on the cancer drugs that had already reached clinical testing. Cabiralizumab was still one of those drugs. But a little more than a year ago, the antibody failed a mid-stage study in pancreatic cancer. BMS had acquired rights to that drug as part of an alliance that started in 2015. After the Phase 2 failure, the pharma giant said it would not sponsor additional tests of that Five Prime antibody. At that point, shares of Five Prime were trading at around $4.50 each. BMS remains a partner on two other Five Prime cancer programs. SeaGen is the company’s only other remaining collaborator, with an antibody drug conjugate in preclinical development for an undisclosed disease target. In 2017, Zai Labs licensed rights to develop and commercialize bema in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. The Shanghai-based company is responsible for developing and commercializing the drug in those markets. Amgen will inherit that agreement and will receive a royalty on Zai Lab’s future net sales. Among Five Prime’s programs, partnered and internal, Bema was furthest along in clinical development. Amgen will evaluate Five Prime’s earlier-stage programs on an asset-by-asset basis, Reese said. Bema is set to join an Amgen pipeline that has gastric cancer drug candidates in early clinical development. AMG199 addresses gastric cancer that overexpresses the protein mucin-17. AMG910 is in development for gastric cancer that expresses the protein CLDN18.2. Reese said that the Five Prime drug is appropriate for Amgen’s strategy to develop targeted cancer therapies. “One of our beliefs is that the future of oncology broadly is the marriage of immuno-oncology and precision medicine targeting specific molecular alterations, and I think this fits nicely within that broader strategic rubric in a complement to the other assets in our portfolio,” he said. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of this year. If Five Prime receives a superior offer, or if the company backs out of the agreement, it must pay Amgen a $76 million termination fee, according to terms of the merger agreement.
