Abstract:

Purpose::

Two studies in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer have been completed combining GVAX pancreas vaccine (GM-CSF–secreting allogeneic pancreatic tumor cells) with cyclophosphamide (Cy) and CRS-207 (live, attenuated Listeria monocytogenes–expressing mesothelin). In the current study, we compared Cy/GVAX followed by CRS-207 with (Arm A) or without nivolumab (Arm B).

Patients and Methods::

Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who received one prior therapy for metastatic disease and RECIST measurable disease were randomized 1:1 to receive treatment on Arm A or Arm B. The primary objective was to compare overall survival (OS) between the arms. Additional objectives included assessment of progression-free survival, safety, tumor responses, CA19-9 responses, and immunologic correlates.

Results::

Ninety-three patients were treated (Arm A, 51; Arm B, 42). The median OS in Arms A and B were 5.9 [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.7–8.6] and 6.1 (95% CI, 3.5–7.0) months, respectively, with an HR of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.55–1.34). Objective responses were seen in 3 patients using immune-related response criteria (4%, 2/51, Arm A; 2%, 1/42, Arm B). The grade ≥3 related adverse event rate, whereas higher in Arm A (35.3% vs. 11.9%) was manageable. Changes in the microenvironment, including increase in CD8+ T cells and a decrease in CD68+ myeloid cells, were observed in long-term survivors in Arm A only.

Conclusions::

Although the study did not meet its primary endpoint of improvement in OS of Arm A over Arm B, the OS was comparable with standard therapy. Objective responses and immunologic changes in the tumor microenvironment were evident.

Author: Müller, Thomas ; Lemmens, Ed ; Nair, Nitya ; Jaffee, Elizabeth M. ; Brockstedt, Dirk G. ; Chang, Serena ; Whiting, Chan ; Chen, Shih-Yu ; Le, Dung T. ; Murphy, Aimee

Abstract:

The identification of biomarkers for patient stratification is fundamental to precision medicine efforts in oncology. Here, we identified two baseline, circulating immune cell subsets associated with overall survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who were enrolled in two phase II randomized studies of GVAX pancreas and CRS-207 immunotherapy. Single-cell mass cytometry was used to simultaneously measure 38 cell surface or intracellular markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from a phase IIa patient subcohort (N = 38). CITRUS, an algorithm for identification of stratifying subpopulations in multidimensional cytometry datasets, was used to identify single-cell signatures associated with clinical outcome. Patients with a higher abundance of CD8+CD45RO−CCR7−CD57+ cells and a lower abundance of CD14+CD33+CD85j+ cells had improved overall survival [median overall survival, range (days) 271, 43–1,247] compared with patients with a lower abundance of CD8+CD45RO−CCR7−CD57+ cells and higher abundance of CD14+CD33+CD85j+ cells (77, 24–1,247 days; P = 0.0442). The results from this prospective–retrospective biomarker analysis were validated by flow cytometry in 200 patients with pancreatic cancer enrolled in a phase IIb study (P = 0.0047). The identified immune correlates provide potential prognostic or predictive signatures that could be employed for patient stratification.

Clinical Response of Live-Attenuated, Listeria monocytogenes Expressing Mesothelin (CRS-207) with Chemotherapy in Patients with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Q1 · MEDICINE

Article

Author: Whiting, Chan C. ; Enstrom, Amanda ; Brockstedt, Dirk G. ; Murphy, Aimee L. ; Hassan, Raffit ; Kumar, Sushil ; McDougall, Katherine ; Jaffee, Elizabeth ; Coussens, Lisa M. ; Lemmens, Ed ; Tsujikawa, Takahiro ; Jahan, Thierry ; Nair, Nitya ; Honarmand, Somayeh ; Antonia, Scott ; Alley, Evan ; Choe, Gina ; Thomas, Anish ; Kindler, Hedy

Abstract:

Purpose::

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer associated with poor prognosis. CRS-207 is a live-attenuated Listeria monocytogenes engineered to express mesothelin, a tumor-associated antigen highly expressed in MPM. CRS-207 induces antitumor immune responses and increases susceptibility of neoplastic cells to immune-mediated killing.

Patients and Methods::

Patients with unresectable MPM, ECOG 0 or 1, and adequate organ and pulmonary function were enrolled in this multicenter, open-label phase Ib study. They received two priming infusions of 1 × 109 CFU CRS-207, followed by pemetrexed/cisplatin chemotherapy, and CRS-207 booster infusions. Primary objectives were safety and induction of immune response. Secondary/exploratory objectives included tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), immune subset analysis, and gene-expression profiling of tumor.

Results::

Of 35 evaluable patients, 89% (31/35) had disease control with one complete response (3%), 19 partial responses (54%), and 10 stable disease (29%). The estimated median duration of response was 5.0 months (95% CI, 3.9–11.5). The median PFS and OS were 7.5 (95% CI, 7.0–9.9) and 14.7 (95% CI, 11.2–21.9) months, respectively. Tumor size reduction was observed post–CRS-207 infusion prior to chemotherapy in 11 of 35 (31%) patients. No unexpected treatment-related serious adverse events or deaths were observed. IHC analysis of pre- and post–CRS-207 treatment tumor biopsies revealed possible reinvigoration and proliferation of T cells, increased infiltration of dendritic and natural killer cells, increased CD8:Treg ratio, and a shift from immunosuppressive M2-like to proinflammatory M1-like macrophages following CRS-207 administration.

Conclusions::

Combination of CRS-207 and chemotherapy induced significant changes in the local tumor microenvironment and objective tumor responses in a majority of treated patients.

Biologic Therapy Market Information: By Product and Geography - Global Forecast till 2025

NEW YORK, June 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the key factors driving the Biologic Therapy Market growth is the strong R&D pipeline. The efficiency of biologics in the treatment of severe infections, malignancies, and immunological and hormonal disorders is encouraging manufacturers to invest in R&D for the development of biologics. For instance, monoclonal antibodies constitute one of the fastest-growing segments amongst biological therapies. To date, 88 monoclonal antibodies have been approved for different indications. Some of the examples are ICT-107 for glioblastoma, VGX-3100 for cervical cancer, NeuVax for breast cancer, NexVax2 for celiac disease, CRS-207 for pancreatic cancer, PEV7 for recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, and GI-4000 for pancreatic cancer. Similar is the case of biologics meant to be used as vaccines and therapeutic proteins, the pipeline of vendors like AbbVie, Amgen, Johnson & Johnson, and F. Hoffmann-La Roche clearly indicate huge investments in R&D. Apart from manufacturers that are actively involved in research on biologics, many research institutes are also engaged in developing novel biologics through industrial collaborations. Technavio has announced its latest market research report titled Biologic Therapeutics Market by Product and Geography - Forecast and Analysis 2021-2025 Get more information on Macro & Micro Economic Factor Analysis, Statistical Tools, and Trend Projection at Affordable Pricing options. Learn More The Biologic Therapy Market value is set to grow by USD 226.61 billion, progressing at a CAGR of 11% from 2020 to 2025, as per the latest report by Technavio. Moreover, the market is segmented by product (antibody therapeutics, vaccines, cell therapy, gene therapy, and other therapies) and geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and ROW). Biologic Therapy Market 2021-2025: Segmentation Product Antibody Therapeutics Vaccines Cell Therapy Gene Therapy Other Therapies The biologic therapy market share growth by antibody therapeutics will be significant during the forecast period. Monoclonal antibodies are amongst the most widely sold biologics and are even referred to as the future of medicine. Monoclonal antibodies are cloned from single-parent cells and are designed to recognize and bind to specific receptors on the surface of the cells. This specificity in action makes monoclonal antibodies more effective than conventional treatments for immunological and chronic ailments like cancer. Owing to these factors, it is expected that the global biologic therapy market will grow during the forecast period. Geography North America Europe Asia ROW 57% of the market's growth will originate from North America during the forecast period. The US is the key market for biologic therapy in North America. Market growth in this region will be slower than the growth of the market in the Asia region. One of the reasons for market growth in the Americas is the increased incidence of chronic diseases. The rise in the prevalence of major health disorders is mainly due to lifestyle changes and increased consumption of alcohol and tobacco in the US. However, market growth is expected to be only gradual due to the patent expiry of major biologics present in the market. Biologic Therapy Market 2021-2025: Scope Biologic Therapy Market size Biologic Therapy Market trends Biologic Therapy Market analysis High cost of biologics is one of the key challenges hindering the biologic therapy market growth. Biologics can be used for the treatment of several types of malignancies, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions, but they are expensive, which makes them beyond the reach of the economically underprivileged. The total manufacturing costs, which include the costs related to the clinical trials associated with biologics, account for vendors offering these products at high costs. The development of a biological molecule requires a separate living organism. Though bacterial production is not that costly, the production of therapeutic agents like monoclonal antibodies and vaccines becomes costly as they involve animal handling. The immunization of the animal and other procedures related to the production of antibodies and vaccines increases the cost of that product. Due to the high price of biologic therapy, many patients are unable to access this effective therapy, and this will remain a major challenge for the market during the forecast period.

Aduro Biotech Collaborates With Leaders In Cancer Research On Investigator-Sponsored Phase 2 Trial Combining Aduro’s Innovative Immunotherapies With Anti-PD-1 Technology To Treat Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

- Combination Immunotherapeutic Regimen Designed to Enhance Cancer Fighting Competency of Immune Cells - BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aduro Biotech, Inc. today announced the initiation of an investigator-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial of the company’s immuno-oncology product candidates GVAX Pancreas and CRS-207 in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Opdivo (nivolumab), a monoclonal antibody against programmed death-1 receptor (PD-1). The first patient has been enrolled in the trial that will be conducted at up to five U.S. clinical trial sites. “For some time, we have recognized and embraced the power of combination strategies for immuno-oncology and this trial will evaluate expanding our lead combination to include Opdivo, the first-in-class anti-PD-1” GVAX Pancreas and CRS-207 are designed to stimulate an immune response against a tumor, and nivolumab is designed to remove an immuno-suppressive mechanism that cancer cells have developed against the immune system. Aduro believes the combination of CRS-207 and GVAX Pancreas with nivolumab may improve clinical outcomes because of their complementary mechanisms of action. The randomized, controlled STELLAR trial (Safety and Therapeutic Efficacy of Live-attenuated Listeria/GVAX with Anti-PD1 Regimen) will enroll approximately 88 adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have had one prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease. The trial will include two arms: Arm A with CRS-207/GVAX Pancreas vaccine and nivolumab and Arm B with CRS-207/GVAX Pancreas vaccine. The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients in Arm A and Arm B. Secondary endpoints include evaluation of clinical and immune response and safety. For more information, please visit ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02243371). The trial is supported by Stand up to Cancer (SU2C)-Lustgarten Foundation Pancreatic Cancer Convergence Dream Team Translational Research; Pancreatic Cancer Action Network – AACR Research Acceleration Network Grant, supported by Fredman Family Foundation; and Bristol-Myers Squibb. SU2C is a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation. “For some time, we have recognized and embraced the power of combination strategies for immuno-oncology and this trial will evaluate expanding our lead combination to include Opdivo, the first-in-class anti-PD-1,” said Stephen T. Isaacs, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Aduro. “While we continue our efforts to evaluate GVAX Pancreas and CRS-207 in our Phase 2b ECLIPSE trial as an effective treatment for pancreatic cancer, we look forward to generating data in yet another combination for potential future applications of our technologies.” “The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is thrilled to have provided initial funding that has been leveraged for this important program,” said Julie Fleshman, president and CEO of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. “In an effort to double pancreatic cancer survival by 2020, we are investing in projects that have the potential to improve the treatment landscape of pancreatic cancer and ultimately increase survival.” “Stand Up To Cancer is excited not only that this immunotherapy clinical trial has begun patient enrollment, one of the 120 clinical trials we have launched or completed,” stated SU2C President and CEO Sung Poblete, R.N, Ph.D., “but that it involves collaboration by two distinct biotechnology firms to study the combination of two proprietary immunotherapies. Stand Up To Cancer is proud to have facilitated this level of multi-institutional and corporate collaboration, which is at the core of SU2C’s research model and its mission to benefit cancer patients faster.” Last year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for Aduro’s pancreatic cancer combination treatment consisting of CRS-207 and GVAX Pancreas. According to the FDA, a Breakthrough Therapy designation is for a drug candidate that treats a serious or life-threatening condition and for which preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement on a clinically significant endpoint over available therapies. Separately, Aduro is currently conducting a 240 patient Phase 2b clinical trial (ECLIPSE; identifier NCT02004262) in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients who have received at least one line of therapy. The randomized, controlled 3-arm trial will involve approximately 20 clinical trial sites in the United States and Canada and will evaluate the safety, immune response and efficacy of the combination immunotherapy of GVAX Pancreas in combination with CRS-207 compared to chemotherapy or to CRS-207 as a monotherapy. The primary endpoint of the trial is overall survival. About CRS-207 CRS-207 is one of a family of product candidates based on Aduro’s live-attenuated, double-deleted (LADD) Listeria monocytogenes immuno-oncology platform that are designed to induce potent innate and adaptive immune responses. CRS-207 has been engineered to express the tumor-associated antigen mesothelin, which is over-expressed in many cancers including mesothelioma and pancreatic, non-small cell lung, ovarian and gastric cancers. About GVAX Pancreas GVAX Pancreas is one of a family of GVAX vaccines derived from human cancer cell lines that are genetically modified to express granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), an immune system-stimulating cytokine. GVAX Pancreas is derived from human pancreatic cancer cell lines and is designed to activate specific T cell immunity to pancreatic cancer antigens, including mesothelin. About the Stand Up To Cancer Initiative Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) raises funds to accelerate the pace of research to get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now. SU2C, a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established in 2008 by film and media leaders who utilize the industry’s resources to engage the public in supporting a new, collaborative model of cancer research, and to increase awareness about cancer prevention as well as progress being made in the fight against the disease. As SU2C’s scientific partner, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and a Scientific Advisory Committee led by Nobel Laureate Phillip A. Sharp, PhD, conduct rigorous, competitive review processes to identify the best research proposals to recommend for funding, oversee grants administration, and provide expert review of research progress. About the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is the national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure. The organization is leading the way to increase survival for people diagnosed with this devastating disease through a bold initiative — The Vision of Progress: Double Pancreatic Cancer Survival by 2020. Together, we can Wage Hope in the fight against pancreatic cancer by intensifying our efforts to heighten awareness, raise funds for comprehensive private research, and advocate for dedicated federal research to advance early diagnostics and better treatments and increase chances of survival.
