Immune infiltration landscape and potential drug-targeted implications for hepatocellular carcinoma with ‘progression/hyper-progression’ recurrence

Article

Author: Qi, Lu-Nan ; Peng, Yu-Chong ; Su, Yue-Xiang ; Xu, Jing-Xuan ; Chen, Yuan-Yuan ; Chen, Zu-Shun ; Huang, Yi-Yue

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence was previously characterized into four types, and patients with progression/hyper-progression recurrence (type III-IV) have an extremely poor prognosis. However, the immune background of resectable HCC, particularly in patients who experience recurrence, remains underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the immune landscape of resectable HCC, especially postoperative type III-IV recurrent HCC, and explore potential immune-targeted anti-relapse strategies for treated populations.

METHODS:

The differences in gene expression in patients with recurrent HCC (type I-II (solitary or multi-intrahepatic oligo recurrence) vs. type III-IV) were investigated using bulk sequencing. Multiple immune infiltration methods (single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), Microenvironment Cell Populations-counter and ESTIMATE) were used, and patients were divided into four groups to identify four distinct immune subtypes: immune-enrichment/matrix-poor (IE1), immune-enrichment/matrix-rich (IE2), immune intermediate/matrix-rich (ITM) and immune desert/matrix-poor (ID). Co-expression and protein interaction analyses were used to identify characteristic genes in ITM closely associated with type III-IV recurrence, which was matched with drug targets for Huaier granules (HG) and lenvatinib. Virtual docking was used to identify potential therapeutic targets, and the results were verified using single-nuclei RNA sequencing and histological analysis.

RESULTS:

ITM was closely related to type III-IV recurrence and exhibited immunotherapy potential. The potential efficacy of inhibiting CCNA2, VEGFA, CXCL8, PLK2, TIMP1, ITGB2, ALDOA, ANXA5 and CSK in ITM reversal was determined. Molecular docking demonstrated that the proteins of these genes could bind to HG or lenvatinib. The immunohistochemical findings demonstrated differential VEGFA (p < .01) and PLK2 (p < .001) expression in ITM type and ID in type III-IV recurrent HCC.

CONCLUSIONS:

Three primary immunotypes of resectable HCC (IE2, ITM and ID) were identified, and HG and lenvatinib could potentially overcome immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance in ITM patients with HCC, particularly those classified as type III-IV.

Immunotherapy-induced microsatellite instability status shift in recurrent perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: A case report

Article

Author: Deng, Tan ; Liu, Hongbing ; Yu, Hailing

Immunotherapy revolutionized the treatment of biliary tract tumors and tumors with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). This paper reports a 52-year-old woman with recurrent perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. The tumor was initially microsatellite stable (MSS) and proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) but shifted to MSI-H and deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) after combined immunotherapy. Following laparoscopic radical resection for jaundice, stage IV recurrence was diagnosed. Genetic testing revealed the MSS status. Subsequent treatment with camrelizumab and lenvatinib led to a partial response. Ovarian metastases, removed due to abdominal symptoms, exhibited dMMR and MSI-H. The mismatch in MSI status between the primary tumor and metastases suggests tumor heterogeneity and the influence of spatial or temporal factors. This shift can have important clinical significance since MSI-H is associated with significant responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors. MSI-H should be systematically tested in tumors and metastases to personalize treatments. MSI heterogeneity is not only rare but potentially has implications for treatment personalization and prognosis in patients with cholangiocarcinoma. This case highlights the dynamic changes in tumor characteristics during immunotherapy.

Icaritin and lenvatinib treatment for unresectable localized progressive pancreatic cancer: a report of six cases

Article

Author: Zhang, Yizhuo ; Lu, Jianguo ; Dong, Xinyu ; Cao, Yanlong ; Hong, Defei ; Liu, Xiaolong ; Jiang, Guixing

BACKGROUND:

Pancreatic cancer is very difficult to detect in its early stages, and its rapid progression and poor prognosis make it a significant therapeutic challenge. Existing treatment modalities, whether standalone or combined, offer limited efficacy, highlighting an urgent need for more effective and less toxic therapeutic strategies.

PATIENTS:

We analyze six cases of pancreatic cancer, each undergoing a novel treatment regimen integrating chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immune therapy, and icaritin.

RESULTS:

The outcomes demonstrate varying degrees of improvement in all cases. Partial responses were observed in cases 1 and 3, with some tumor shrinkage. Cases 4 and 5 showed limited relief following a slight decrease in tumor size. In cases 2 and 6, no significant progression of the lesion was observed. These results highlight the potential efficacy of this multifaceted approach.

CONCLUSION:

Integrating icaritin with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or targeted therapies shows potential as an exploratory approach in managing advanced, locally progressive, or metastatic pancreatic cancer, though further validation is required.

2025 ASCO Oral Presentation: Innovent Biologics Announces Updated Data of IBI363 (First-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias Bispecific Antibody Fusion Protein) from the Phase 1 PoC Clinical Study in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, autoimmune, cardiovascular and metabolic, ophthalmology and other major diseases, announced the third oral presentation of clinical data for IBI363 (first-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), following IBI363's other two oral presentations in colorectal cancer and melanoma. A manageable safety profile, encouraging efficacy, and trends in long-term survival benefits have been observed in both immunotherapy-resistant squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and wild-type lung adenocarcinoma. It is worth mentioning that Innovent's pipeline has a total of 8 oral presentations at this ASCO conference, representing approximately 2% of the conference's total oral presentations. Innovent Biologics is conducting clinical studies in China, the United States, and Australia to explore the efficacy and safety of IBI363 for multiple tumor indications, including immune resistance, cold tumors, and front-line treatments. At this year's ASCO meeting, three oral presentations of IBI363 reported encouraging Phase 1/2 clinical data in the first three indications explored—NSCLC, CRC, and melanoma—focusing on IO-resistant and cold tumors. The data comprehensively demonstrated the breakthrough clinical outcomes of IBI363 across these indications, from robust tumor response to long-term survival benefits. These findings provide strong support of the drug's novel mechanism of action translating effectively into clinical outcomes, and imply its potential for broader clinical development, offering new hope in areas of immunotherapy where treatment options remain limited. PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein IBI363 in patients with immunotherapy resistant advanced non-small cell lung cancer: results from a Phase 1 study Updated data on IBI363 monotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC were reported (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05460767). As of the data cutoff date, April 7, 2025, a total of 136 patients with NSCLC had received IBI363 monotherapy (2 μg/kg QW~4mg/kg Q3W), including 67 with squamous cell carcinoma and 58 with EGFR wild-type adenocarcinoma. IBI363 showed breakthrough therapeutic potential from tumor response to long-term survival benefit in immuno-resistant squamous NSCLC All 67 squamous NSCLC patients were EGFR wild type. Among them, 28 patients received IBI363 at 1 mg/kg Q2W or 1.5 mg/kg Q3W, and 31 patients received IBI363 at 3 mg/kg Q3W. In the two groups of patients, the proportion of ≥2 lines of previous systemic therapy was 64.3% (18/28) vs 67.7% (21/31), the proportion of previous anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy was 100% (28/28) vs 96.8% (30/31) and the proportion of PD-L1 TPS<1% was 35.7% (10/28) vs 41.9% (13/31). In the 1/1.5 mg/kg dose group, promising ORR/DCR/PFS/OS were observed. Median OS achieved 15.3 months, suggesting the potential long-term survival benefit of IBI363 as a PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific immunotherapy. Compared with the 1/1.5 mg/kg dose group, the 3 mg/kg Q3W dose group observed more prominent confirmed ORR (36.7%), DCR (90.0%), PFS (median PFS 9.3 months) and OS trends (median OS not reached, 12-month OS rate 70.9%) (see the table below). Among the patients with PD-L1 TPS<1%, IBI363 demonstrated outstanding efficacy signals: in the 1/1.5 mg/kg group (N=10), the confirmed ORR was 30.0% and the DCR was 90.0%, while that of the 3 mg/kg group (N=13) were 46.2% and 92.3%, suggesting the potential advantage of IBI363 in the population with low expression of PD-L1. IBI363 showed potential for long-term survival benefits in immuno-resistant wild-type lung adenocarcinoma, especially in patients with smoking history Among the 58 patients with EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma, 30 patients received IBI363 at 0.6 mg/kg Q2W or 1 mg/kg Q2W or 1.5 mg/kg Q3W, 25 patients received IBI363 at 3 mg/kg Q3W. In the two groups of patients, the proportions of ≥2 lines of previous systemic therapy were 80.0% (24/30) vs 64.0% (16/25), the proportions of previous anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy were both 100%, the proportions of PD-L1 TPS<1% were 26.7% (8/30) vs 40.0% (10/25) and the proportions of smoking history were 56.7% (17/30) vs 60.0% (15/25). In the 1/1.5 mg/kg dose group, median OS achieved 17.5 months, suggesting the potential long-term survival benefit of IBI363 as a PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific immunotherapy. Compared with the 0.6/1/1.5 mg/kg dose group, the 3 mg/kg dose group observed higher confirmed ORR (24.0%), DCR (76.0%), PFS (median PFS 5.6 months) and OS trends (median OS not reached, 12-month OS rate 71.6%) (see the table below). Higher ORR and PFS were observed in lung adenocarcinoma patients with a history of smoking. Among them, the confirmed ORR in the 0.6/1/1.5 mg/kg group (N=17) was 23.5%, and the confirmed ORR in the 3 mg/kg group (N=15) was 33.3%. In all dose groups (N=32), the median PFS of smokers was longer than non-smokers: 5.3 (2.0, 7.0) vs 3.0 (1.6, 5.1) months. In terms of long-term survival benefits, after follow-ups of 12.0 and 13.7 months, the median OS for non-smokers was 13.6 months, whereas the median OS for smokers was not yet reached, with only 9 (28.1%) events occurring. IBI363 had a manageable safety profile in advanced NSCLC Among the 57 patients with NSCLC in the 3 mg/kg dose group, the most common treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 3 or above were arthralgia and rash. 7.0% of patients experienced TRAEs leading to discontinuation. The overall safety profile was manageable. In view of the encouraging efficacy signals and manageable safety demonstrated by IBI363 monotherapy, Innovent plans to conduct a Phase 3 registration clinical study in locally advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC that has failed platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 /PD-L1 immunotherapy. As of now, IBI363 has received Breakthrough Therapy (BTD) certification from China CDE and Fast Track Designation (FTD) from the US FDA for squamous NSCLC. Professor Jianya Zhou, The First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, stated: "Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate both globally and in China[1], and it is a major issue endangering public health. Although immunotherapy has completely transformed the treatment landscape of NSCLC, for patients with wild-type NSCLC who have failed immunotherapy, the current standard treatment regimen docetaxel has limited efficacy, with an ORR of less than 20%, a PFS of less than 4 months, and an OS of less than 12 months [2-7]. In recent years, although the exploration of new treatment regimens such as immune combination therapy and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) has brought new hope, many large-scale Phase 3 clinical studies on NSCLC patients who have failed platinum-based chemotherapy and immunotherapy have not achieved satisfactory results, and most of these studies have not met the primary endpoints[2-6]. Although the TROPION-Lung01 study achieved the primary endpoint of PFS in NSCLC, it did not reach the primary endpoint of OS. Especially in squamous NSCLC, no improvement was observed in PFS/OS/ORR in the experimental group. Therefore, there was a huge and urgent unmet medical need in NSCLC that has failed immunotherapy. As a PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific molecule, IBI363 not only shows clinical benefits in both ORR and PFS in immune-resistant NSCLC, but also enables us to see the potential of the tailing effect of immunotherapy to bring long-term survival benefits to patients compared with chemotherapy. We are also more looking forward to the survival data of the long-term follow up in the high dose IBI363 group." Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent, stated: "It is a great pleasure to orally present the latest progress of IBI363 in the field of lung cancer at the ASCO conference. IBI363 shows remarkable efficacy in immune-resistant wild-type nsclc and clinical data suggests better trends in ORR, DCR, PFS and OS at higher doses. We expect longer-term follow-up to bring more mature data and look forward to seeing its potential as an immunotherapy for the long-term survival benefits of patients. Meanwhile, regardless of the expression level of PD-L1, IBI363 has demonstrated a powerful anti-tumor effect in immune-resistant NSCLC (especially squamous NSCLC), suggesting that the effect of IBI363 does not depend on the expression of PD-L1. In the future, it may also bring breakthroughs in cold tumors with low or no expression of PD-L1. We will continue to advance the clinical exploration of IBI363 in NSCLC and other tumor types." About IBI363 (First-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein) IBI363 is a first-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein independently developed by Innovent Biologics. It functions by both blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and activating the IL-2 pathway. The IL-2 arm of IBI363 is designed to maintain its affinity for IL-2Rα while reducing binding to IL-2Rβ and IL-2Rγ, thereby minimizing toxicity. The PD-1 binding arm not only blocks PD-1 but also selectively delivers IL-2. This approach targets and activates tumor-specific T cells that express both PD-1 and IL-2α, leading to more precise and effective activation of this T cell subpopulation. IBI363 has demonstrated robust antitumor activity in various tumor-bearing pharmacological models, but also showed outstanding efficacy in PD-1 resistance and metastasis models. In response to urgent clinical needs, Innovent is conducting clinical studies in China, the United States and Australia to further explore the efficacy and safety of IBI363 in various tumor indications, including immune-resistant, cold tumors, and front-line treatments. The first pivotal trial of IBI363 was initiated in 2025 for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic mucosal or acral melanoma who have not received prior systemic therapy. IBI363 has received two fast track designations (FTD) from the U.S. FDA and two breakthrough designations (BTD) from the China NMPA, for the treatment of squamous non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma, respectively.

ImmuneOncia Announces Interim Results from Phase 1b Clinical Trial of Next-Generation CD47 Antibody 'IMC-002' at ASCO 2025

CHICAGO, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ImmuneOncia Therapeutics, Inc. (CEO Heung-Tae Kim) announced interim results today from the ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial of its next-generation CD47-targeting antibody, IMC-002, in combination with lenvatinib for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The data were presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, USA. The study, part of the dose-expansion phase, evaluated the safety and early efficacy of the combination therapy. IMC-002 demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no reported cases of neutropenia or thrombocytopenia. Mild anemia was observed in 2 of 13 patients (15%), and 96% of adverse events were Grade 1–2, occurring primarily in the first treatment cycle. Among 10 patients evaluable for efficacy, 3 (30%) showed a partial response (PR), while the disease control rate (DCR) reached 80%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.3 months. Notably, two patients have remained on treatment for over one year, indicating the potential for sustained therapeutic benefit. AI-powered digital pathology analysis showed a 60% objective response rate (ORR) in patients with high CD47 expression on tumor cell membranes, whereas no response was observed in those with low expression - a statistically significant difference (p=0.018). These findings support CD47 expression as a predictive biomarker for response. Professor Jeong-Yong Hong of Samsung Medical Center commented, "The IMC-002 and lenvatinib combination shows strong potential as a second-line treatment option for HCC patients with limited alternatives. A 30% response rate is particularly promising, especially when compared to the approximately 10% typically observed with current second-line therapies for HCC." CEO Heung-Tae Kim stated, "Two of the three partial responders were resistant to first-line immunotherapy, suggesting IMC-002 may offer a new path forward via macrophage-based innate immunity. We are confident that this combination could redefine second-line treatment for HCC and will enhance our patient selection strategy through AI-driven biomarker analysis." IMC-002 is an IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting the CD47-SIRPα axis to restore macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of cancer cells. It is a second-generation anti-CD47 antibody designed to minimize binding to normal cells and avoid common toxicities such as hemagglutination and cytopenia. ImmuneOncia is currently conducting Phase 1b trial of IMC-002 in patients with solid tumors. In 2021, the company out-licensed the asset to China's 3D Medicines in a deal worth up to $470 million. Its pipeline also includes the PD-L1 antibody IMC-001 and bispecific antibodies IMC-201 and IMC-202. Following its KOSDAQ listing in May 2025, ImmuneOncia aims to strengthen its global presence in immuno-oncology. About IMC-002 IMC-002 is a novel immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting CD47, a "don't eat me" signal expressed on cancer cells. By blocking the CD47/SIRPα interaction, IMC-002 enhances macrophage-mediated phagocytosis. It is engineered to deliver high efficacy while minimizing binding to red blood cells and avoiding hematologic toxicity. About ImmuneOncia Therapeutics, Inc. Founded in 2016, ImmuneOncia is a South Korean clinical-stage biotech company specializing in immuno-oncology.

(*2) Lenvatinib Lenvatinib is a multi-kinase inhibitor, discovered by Eisai and being co-developed and co-commercialized under a collaboration agreement with Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA, which inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs),VEGFR1, VEGR2, VEGFR3 and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, and other receptor tyrosine kinases, PDGFR-alpha, KIT, RET. Lenvatinib have been approved for thyroid cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, thymic caner and renal cell carcinoma (in combination with Everolimus or pembrolizumab, the anti-PD-1 antibody from Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.). Lenvatinib is also approved for endometrium cancer in combination with pembrolizumab (*3) NCT04008797 NCT04008797 is an open-label Phase Ib study of E7386 in combination with other anticancer drug, Lenvatinib for the patients with solid tumors. The study has been implemented by Eisai in Japan, Korea, Taiwan region, US, and France determine the safety and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and also to see the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of E7386 + Lenvatinib. Enrolment of each cohort of hepatic, colon, endometrial cancers are ongoing. About PRISM BioLab PRISM BioLab is a discovery and development biotechnology company utilizing proprietary PepMetics® technology to discover orally available small molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interaction (PPI) targets and transform lives of patients suffering from cancer, autoimmune, fibrosis and other diseases. PepMetics® are a unique class of small molecules that mimic three-dimensional structures of alpha-helix and beta-turn, the peptide structures commonly found in intracellular PPI interphases and receptor-ligand interactions. By combining proprietary chemistry, know-how around PPI targets and AI-supported design, PepMetics® technology can deliver inhibitors of challenging PPI targets. The technology holds promise to expand the field of drug discovery by turning previously undruggable PPIs into targets readily druggable with small molecules and by generating oral small molecule alternatives for injectable biologics. PRISM BioLab is collaborating on new PPI targets with global and Japanese pharmaceutical companies. PepMetics® targeting CBP/beta-catenin PPIs licensed to Eisai Co., Ltd. and Ohara Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. are in clinical development for cancer and liver disease, respectively.
