A Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo- and Positive-Controlled, Parallel Group, Thorough QT/QTc Study to Evaluate the Effect of Custirsen (640 mg) on Cardiac Repolarization in Healthy Men

This is a 3-arm, parallel-group, active- and placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study, to compare treatment with intravenous custirsen at 640 mg (highest intended therapeutic dose) with placebo. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of custirsen treatment on cardiac conduction and repolarization (electrical activity of the heart) in healthy subjects. The positive control employed to demonstrate assay sensitivity consists of a group receiving a single oral dose of 400 mg moxifloxacin on day 7. The moxifloxacin arm is un-blinded but the ECG readings are blinded.

LBA02-09 EMBARK: A Phase 3 Randomized Study of Enzalutamide or Placebo Plus Leuprolide Acetate and Enzalutamide Monotherapy in High-risk Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer.

Article

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE:

Within 10 years following definitive therapy for prostate cancer, ∼20-50% of patients (pts) experience biochemical recurrence (BCR) characterized by rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Pts with high-risk BCR have an increased risk of mortality and improved therapies are needed. The objective of EMBARK was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide (enza) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and enza monotherapy (mono) in pts with high-risk BCR.

METHODS:

EMBARK is a randomized, phase 3 study of pts with BCR considered high-risk: PSA doubling time ≤9 months and PSA ≥2 ng/mL above nadir post-radiotherapy (RT) or ≥1 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy (RP) ± postoperative RT. Pts were randomized (1:1:1) to enza 160 mg/day + leuprolide acetate (LA) (double-blind), placebo (pbo) + LA (double-blind), or enza mono (open-label). LA 22.5 mg was administered every 12 weeks. If the PSA at week 36 was <0.2 ng/mL, therapy was stopped at week 37 and restarted when PSA was ≥2 ng/mL for pts with primary RP, and ≥5 ng/mL for pts without RP. The primary endpoint, determined by blinded, independent central review (BICR), was metastasis-free survival (MFS) with enza + LA vs pbo + LA. Key secondary endpoints were MFS of enza mono vs pbo + LA, time to PSA progression, time to antineoplastic therapy, and overall survival (OS) of enza + LA or enza mono vs pbo + LA.

RESULTS:

1068 pts were randomized into the study (enza + LA, n=355; pbo + LA, n=358; enza mono, n=355). After median follow-up of 60.7 months, per BICR, MFS for enza + LA (HR 0.42; 95% CI 0.30-0.61; p<0.0001) and enza mono (HR 0.63; 95% CI 0.46-0.87; p=0.0049) were statistically superior to pbo + LA. Statistically significant improvements were also observed in risk of PSA progression (enza + LA: HR 0.07; 95% CI, 0.03-0.14; enza mono: HR 0.33; 95% CI, 0.23-0.49; both p<0.0001) and time to first use of new antineoplastic therapy (enza + LA: HR 0.36; 95% CI, 0.26-0.49; enza mono: HR 0.54; 95% CI, 0.41-0.71; both p<0.0001). Interim OS data trended in favor enza + LA (HR 0.59; 95% CI, 0.38-0.91; p=0.0153, did not cross interim efficacy boundary) and enza mono (HR 0.78; 95% CI, 0.52-1.17; p=0.2304). Fatigue and hot flash were the most common adverse events; no new safety signals were observed.

CONCLUSIONS:

In pts with high-risk BCR, enza + ADT and enza mono demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in MFS vs pbo + ADT. The safety profile of enza was consistent with results from previous clinical studies.

Inhibition Lysosomal Degradation of Clusterin by Protein Kinase D3 Promotes Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Tumor Growth

Q1 · MATERIALS SCIENCE

ArticleOA

Author: Liu, Yan ; Zhou, Yehui ; Ma, Xinxing ; Chen, Liming

Abstract:

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), with its lack of targeted therapies, shows the worst mortality rate among all breast cancer subtypes. Clusterin (CLU) is implicated to play important oncogenic roles in cancer via promoting various downstream oncogenic pathways. Here, protein kinase D3 (PRKD3) is defined to be a key regulator of CLU in promoting TNBC tumor growth. Mechanically, PRKD3 with kinase activity binding to CLU is critical for CLU protein stability via inhibiting CLU's lysosomal distribution and degradation. CLU and PRKD3 protein level are significantly elevated and positively correlated in collected TNBC tumor samples. CLU silencer (OGX‐011) and PRKDs inhibitor (CRT0066101) can both result in impressive tumor growth suppression in vitro and in vivo, suggesting targeting CLU and its key regulator‐PRKD3 are promisingly efficient against TNBC. Finally, secreted CLU (sCLU) is found to be elevated in serums from TNBC patients and reduced in serum from TNBC murine models post OGX‐011 and/or CRT0066101 treatment, suggesting serum sCLU is a promising blood‐based biomarker for clinical management of TNBC. Taken together, this study provides a thorough molecular basis as well as preclinical evidences for targeting CLU pathway as a new promising strategy against TNBC via revealing PRKD3 as the key regulator of CLU in TNBC.

Secretory Clusterin as a Novel Molecular-targeted Therapy for Inhibiting Hepatocellular Carcinoma Growth

Q2 · MEDICINE

Review

Author: Wang, Li ; Zheng, Wenjie ; Yao, Min ; Yao, Dengfu ; Sai, Wenli ; Dong, Zhizhen

Background::

Although secretory clusterin (sCLU) plays a crucial role in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) cells proliferation, Multiple Drug Resistance (MDR), metastasis and so on, its targeted effects and exact mechanism are still unknown. This review summarizes some new progress in sCLU as a molecular-targeted therapy in the treatment of HCC.

Methods::

A systematic review of the published English-language literature about sCLU and HCC has been performed using the PubMed and bibliographic databases. Some valuable studies on sCLU in HCC progression were searched for relevant articles with the keywords: HCC, diagnosis, MDR, as molecular-targeted in treatment, and so on.

Results::

The incidence of the positive rate of sCLU was significantly higher in HCC tissues as compared to the surrounding tissues at mRNA or protein level, gradually increasing with tumor-nodemetastasis staging (P<0.05). Also, the abnormal level of sCLU was related to poor differentiation degree, and considered as a useful marker for HCC diagnosis or independent prognosis for patients. Hepatic sCLU could be silenced at mRNA level by specific sCLU-shRNA or by OGX-011 to inhibit cancer cell proliferation with an increase in apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, reversal MDR, alteration of cell migration or invasion behaviors, and a decrease in GSK-3β or AKT phosphorylation in vitro, as well as significant suppression of the xenograft growth by down-regulating β-catenin, p-GSK3β, and cyclinD1 expression in vivo.

Conclusion::

Abnormal hepatic sCLU expression should not only be a new diagnostic biomarker but also a novel promising target for inhibiting HCC growth.

OncoGenex Technologies Inc. Withdraws Initial Public Offering

VANCOUVER, March 7 /PRNewswire/ - OncoGenex Technologies Inc. announced today that the company has withdrawn its registration statement from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, citing market conditions as a deterrent to completing its initial public offering. "Due to the recent adverse market conditions, we have decided not to move forward with an initial public offering at this time," stated Scott Cormack, President and Chief Executive Officer of OncoGenex. "We anticipated pricing our initial public offering on February 27, coincidentally the same day that the equity markets suffered the largest one-day decline in four years. Given current market conditions, we believe it is in our shareholders' best interest to withdraw our initial public offering and continue to focus on delivering results from our phase 2 programs. "We have the resources to complete our five ongoing phase 2 clinical trials with our lead product candidate, OGX-011, in prostate, breast and non-small cell lung cancers," added Cormack. "We expect to have primary endpoint data from all five of these trials by the end of this year, and we look forward to reporting data in the appropriate forums." About OncoGenex OncoGenex is committed to the development and commercialization of new cancer therapies that address treatment resistance in cancer patients. OncoGenex currently has three product candidates in development: OGX-011, OGX-427 and OGX-225. These product candidates are designed to selectively inhibit the production of proteins that are associated with treatment resistance and that are over-produced in response to a variety of cancer treatments. OncoGenex' aim in targeting these particular proteins is to disable the tumor cells' adaptive defenses, render the tumor cells susceptible to attack with a variety of cancer therapies including chemotherapy, and facilitate tumor cell death.
