PRISM: PRecIsion in SCLC Via a Multicohort Study: Randomized Phase II Studies Evaluating Maintenance Durvalumab With or Without Biomarker-Directed Therapy for Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)

This phase II trial tests how well biomarker tests on patients tumor tissue works in selecting personalized treatments for patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Biomarker tests look for certain features in cancer cells that may give doctors more information about what is driving cancer and how to treat it. Based on the biomarker test results, study doctors can determine the subtype of ES-SCLC that study treatments can target. This study also tests different types of maintenance treatment for ES-SCLC with drugs durvalumab, saruparib, ceralasertib or monalizumab. Maintenance treatment is given after initial treatment and is given to help keep the cancer under control and prevent it from getting worse. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and monalizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Saruparib is a PARP inhibitor. PARP is a protein that helps repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blocking PARP may prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor cell growth. Giving biomarker selected personalized maintenance treatment with durvalumab, saruparib, ceralasertib or monalizumab may work better in treating patients with ES-SCLC.

A Randomized Phase III Trial of Checkpoint Blockade in Lung Cancer Patients in the Adjuvant Setting Based on Pathologic Response Following Neoadjuvant Therapy (CLEAR)

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding AZD6738 to durvalumab versus durvalumab alone to increase time without cancer in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, following treatment with chemotherapy and surgery. AZD6738 may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Adding AZD6738 to durvalumab may increase time without cancer in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, following treatment with chemotherapy and surgery.

Nuclear cGAS mediated replication stress and mitotic catastrophe can overcome gemcitabine resistance

Review

Author: Park, Soon Young ; Brody, Jonathan R ; Rames, Matthew J ; Poire, Alfonso ; Sears, Rosalie C ; Jeong, Bo Young ; Mills, Gordon B ; Sheng, Yuhan ; Ozmen, Tugba Y ; Jeong, Kang Jin ; English, Isabel A

Gemcitabine, a ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) inhibitor, is active in pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) patients, but unfortunately has a limited impact on long term outcomes. Gemcitabine induces nucleotide deficiency, DNA damage including single stranded DNA (ssDNA) and replication stress (RS). DNA damage can activate cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), leading to genome instability, micronucleus generation, and immune activation. In model systems, gemcitabine resistance can be overcome by combination treatment with the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related inhibitor (ATRi; AZD6738) that blocks S and G2 checkpoints, although underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. We show that cells with low basal RS are resistant to gemcitabine, which could be overcome by combination treatment with AZD6738 through elevation of RS, phospho-RPA32 exhaustion, and mitotic catastrophe in PDAC cell models. Gemcitabine induces nuclear cGAS accumulation independent of STING-mediated immune activation. The binding of nuclear cGAS to γH2AX at double strand DNA breaks (DSBs) plays a pivotal role in RS activation and mitotic catastrophe in gemcitabine and AZD6738 treated cells.

The presence of conditions like Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, hemochromatosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases and metabolic syndrome can elevate the susceptibility to hepatic cellular carcinoma (HCC). Utilizing network-based gene expression profiling via network analyst tools, presents a novel approach for drug target discovery. The significance level (p-score) obtained through Cytoscape in the intended center gene survival assessment confirms the identification of all target center genes, which play a fundamental role in disease formation and progression in HCC. A total of 1064 deferential expression genes were found. These include MCM2 with the highest degree, followed by 4917 MCM6 and MCM4 with a 3944-degree score. We investigated the regulatory kinases involved in establishing the protein-protein interactions network using X2K web tool. The docking approach yields a favorable binding affinity of -8.7 kcal/mol against the target MCM2 using Auto-Dock Vina. Interestingly after simulating the complex system via AMBER16 package, results showed that the root mean square deviation values remained within 4.74 Å for a protein and remains stable throughout the time intervals. Additionally, the ligand's fit to the protein exhibited fluctuations at some intervals but remains stable. Finally, Gibbs free energy was found to be at its lowest at 1 kcal/mol which presents the real time interactive binding of the atomic residues among inhibitor and protein. The displacement of the ligand was measured showing stable movement and displacement along the active site. These findings increased our understanding for potential biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma and an experimental approach will further enhance our outcomes in future.

Multicenter Phase II Study of Olaparib and the ATR Inhibitor Ceralasertib in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (TRAP)

Article

Author: Heath, Elisabeth I. ; Tsung, Irene ; Smith, Simon ; Devitt, Michael E. ; Dean, Emma ; Reichert, Zachery R. ; Palmbos, Phillip ; Braun, Thomas M. ; Caram, Megan E.V. ; Cackowski, Frank ; Smith, David C. ; Chinnaiyan, Arul M. ; Alumkal, Joshi J. ; Shah, Neel ; Nguyen, Charles B. ; Yentz, Sarah ; Vaishampayan, Ulka

PURPOSE:

Preclinical studies suggest the combination of the poly(adenosine diphosphate[ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib and the ataxia telangiectasia–mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor ceralasertib has synergistic antitumor activity in homologous recombination proficient (HRP) and homologous recombination repair gene mutation (HRRm) patients. This study aims to determine the efficacy of olaparib plus ceralasertib in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with and without HRRm.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Thirty-five HRP and 12 HRRm PARP inhibitor–naïve patients with mCRPC progressing on ≥1 line of therapy or previous androgen receptor pathway inhibitor were enrolled. Patients received olaparib (300 mg twice daily) and ceralasertib (160 mg once daily, days 1-7) in 28-day cycles. HRRm was defined as biallelic inactivation of BRCA2 or BRCA1 , monoallelic inactivation of ATM , or germline inactivation of any of these genes. The primary end point was disease response rate (dRR; confirmed prostate-specific antigen decline ≥50% and/or complete/partial radiographic response by RECIST v1.1) in HRP patients. Secondary end points included dRR in HRRm patients, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety/toxicity. Two-stage designs were used.

RESULTS:

Four of 35 (11%; 95% CI, 3.2 to 26.7) HRP and four of 12 HRRm patients responded. Median PFS was 8.2 months (95% CI, 5.3 to not reached) for HRP patients. Thirty-six percent of patients had ≥grade 3 toxicity, most commonly from anemia. Limitations include small, single-arm, nonrandomized trial design.

CONCLUSION:

Combining ceralasertib with olaparib had limited activity in patients with HRP mCRPC. HRRm response rate was not greater than previous single-agent PARP inhibitor clinical trials.

AstraZeneca’s Baxdrostat Pushes Blood Pressure Lower in Phase III Trial

iStock, HuiLiu The drug came to AstraZeneca through its acquisition of CinCor Pharma in 2023, with the hopes of beefing up its cardiovascular and kidney disease pipelines. AstraZeneca’s $1.3 billion gamble on CinCor may be paying off, after baxdrostat, an aldosterone synthase inhibitor it got in the deal, achieved a “statistically significant and clinically meaningful” drop in blood pressure in a late-stage trial, according to a company press release Monday. The results are from the Phase III BaxHTN trial, comparing patients with uncontrolled or treatment-resistant hypertension on two different doses—1 mg or 2 mg—to patients who received placebo. All patients either received baxdrostat or placebo on top of standard of care. AstraZeneca originally took on baxdrostat via the $1.3 billion acquisition of CinCor Pharma in 2023 . The deal also involved regulatory milestones involving baxdrostat that could kick the total value up to $1.8 billion—a gamble for shareholders as baxdrostat had flunked a previous Phase II trial run by CinCor after failing to reduce blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Data from a subgroup, however, kept hopes alive that the drug could address the condition. AstraZeneca did not go into specific details of the results, only saying that both doses met the primary endpoint, which was the difference in seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) after 12 weeks. The trial also met secondary endpoints in specific patient subpopulations and other measures of hypertension. AstraZeneca said that the drug was “generally well tolerated with a favorable safety profile.” AstraZeneca plans to reveal more details at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in August 2025. Baxdrostat works by blocking aldosterone synthase, a protein responsible for synthesizing aldosterone, a steroid involved in sodium retention and maintaining homeostatic blood pressure in the body. AstraZeneca is also testing baxdrostat in a Phase III trial in combination with dapagliflozin for treating chronic kidney disease progression in patients with both kidney disease and high blood pressure. Baxdrostat is part of a spate of drugs that AstraZeneca is hoping will help the company hit $80 billion in revenue by 2030, according to analysts at Leerink Partners, writing in a note to investors in April. Those also include ceralasertib, currently in a Phase I trial for solid tumors; gefurulimab for treating myasthenia gravis; and efzimfotase alfa, currently in Phase III trials for hypophosphatasia.

Artios drug exploits ‘replication stress’ in cancer, shrinking subset of tumors in early study

Artios Pharma, a startup developing drugs that weaken a tumor’s ability to maintain its DNA, announced positive results in a subset of patients with advanced cancer. It’s the first big data reveal for the Cambridge, UK-based startup, which has been relatively quiet since 2021, when it struck a drug discovery partnership with Novartis and raised $153 million in Series C financing. The company’s drug, called ART0380, inhibits a DNA repair enzyme called ATR. When administered with a low dose of the chemotherapy irinotecan, the drug shrank tumors in 37% of patients whose cancer was considered “deficient” in another DNA damage response protein dubbed ATM, according to data from a Phase 1/2 study. In patients whose tumors lacked the ATM protein entirely, the response rate was 50%, with a median duration of response of 5.7 months so far. The response rate was 22% in patients with low levels of ATM. Patients with the ATM protein, however, did not respond to the therapy. “All those patients unfortunately progress quickly and unfortunately die very quickly,” Artios Chief Medical Officer Ian Smith told Endpoints News in an interview. The new data, presented Tuesday at the American Association for Cancer Research meeting, comes from 58 patients with advanced-stage and metastatic solid tumors who were treated at the dose the company plans to use in a Phase 2 study. Artios CEO Niall Martin told Endpoints that the company has funds “through 2026.” He said the startup is looking to raise another round of private funding to test its ATR inhibitor in pancreatic and colorectal cancers before pursuing bigger and broader tissue-agnostic studies. Martin said the company’s partnership with Novartis, which wasn’t focused on its ATR inhibitor, identified several targets that could potentially be paired with Novartis’ radioligand therapies, including its prostate cancer drug Pluvicto, and discussions are underway on next steps. Artios had struck a partnership with Merck KGaA in 2020 to search for drugs that target other DNA repair proteins, but Martin told Endpoints that partnership has ended. Artios was founded in 2016 to discover a new wave of drugs that target complex networks of proteins dedicated to the faithful replication and preservation of our genomes. While cancer can survive, and even thrive, with some DNA repair enzymes missing, too many missing pieces can cause the cancer to self-destruct. A class of drugs called PARP inhibitors exploit this vulnerability by blocking the eponymous DNA repair protein in tumors that have mutations in genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are also important for DNA repair. Several companies have been searching for the next combination of targets that can deliver a similar double whammy to tumors, but progress has been slow. “The field hasn’t really evolved much since PARP inhibitors,” Martin said. “So we’ve been really thinking about what are the layers of DNA damage that are created in tumors that could be used as their sort of Achilles heel.” One of those layers, according to Artios, is a phenomenon called replication stress, which can occur when DNA replication, a key step for dividing cells, is blocked. ATR and ATM are two proteins that detect and clear up these blockages. Many forms of chemotherapy obstruct DNA replication. By first inducing a bit more of that stress with a low dose of chemo — but not enough to kill the cancer itself — and then blocking ATR in tumors with little to no ATM, Artios hoped to deliver a triple whammy to tumors. “There’s always been a push to get rid of chemotherapy and have targeted drugs,” Smith said.“But if you can’t get rid of chemotherapy, what you can do is really minimize it. And that’s what we’ve done here.” Smith said the company saw two complete responses, including one in a 62-year-old female who had pancreatic cancer but has been off treatment and cancer-free since August 2023. Neutropenia, a decline in white blood cells, was the most common side effect seen in 53% of patients, with grade 3 neutropenia in 45% of patients. Anemia occurred in 41% of patients. Fatigue, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting were also common side effects. Several other drugmakers have developed their own ATR inhibitors, but lackluster results have caused some pharma companies, including Bayer and Roche, to discontinue or pare back these efforts. “ATR inhibitors have been languishing,” Smith said. “The response rates are low relative to the toxicity that you tend to get.” Roche cut its partnership with Repare Therapeutics in 2024, which paused its ATR inhibitor program earlier this year after modest responses in only 19% and 17% of endometrial and ovarian cancer patients, respectively. Merck KGaA dropped its first ATR inhibitor, berzosertib, but is still testing a second one, called tuvusertib. And AstraZeneca is testing its ATR inhibitor ceralasertib in a Phase 3 study in lung cancer with its immunotherapy Imfinzi, which is expected to complete in August. Artios executives told Endpoints that other ATR inhibitors have faltered for three reasons: the drug’s half-life was too long, leading to intolerable toxicity; the drug was tested as a monotherapy, leading to low efficacy; or the drug was paired with the wrong therapies or tested in the wrong genetic subtypes of cancer. Martin said the company plans to develop a companion diagnostic to identify patients that are most likely to respond to its drug, with an initial focus on ATM. But Artios is looking for other biomarkers that may make tumors vulnerable to ATM inhibitors too. “This whole process of replication stress can be in up to 30% to 40% of tumors,” Martin said. “So there’s a huge area of biology which no one really has tapped into.”

TEPMETKO Continues to Strengthens its Position as a Leading METex14 Skipping NSCLC Therapy | DelveInsight

With increasing biomarker-driven cancer treatments, TEPMETKO benefits from growing adoption in precision oncology. Competition from other MET inhibitors like TABRECTA (capmatinib) exists, but TEPMETKO's once-daily dosing and efficacy profile offer differentiation. LAS VEGAS, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's " TEPMETKO Market Size, Forecast, and Market Insight Report" highlights the details around TEPMETKO, a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations. The report provides product descriptions, patent details, and competitor products (marketed and emerging therapies) of TEPMETKO. The report also highlights the historical and forecasted sales from 2020 to 2034 segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. EMD Serono's TEPMETKO (tepotinib) Overview TEPMETKO is a kinase inhibitor prescribed for adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying MET exon 14 skipping alterations. The active component is Tepotinib (as hydrochloride monohydrate), administered orally. Patients should be cautioned about the heightened risk of severe or fatal interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, liver toxicity, and potential embryo-fetal toxicity, necessitating effective contraception during and shortly after treatment. Tepotinib specifically targets MET, including variants with exon 14 skipping mutations. It blocks HGF-dependent and independent MET phosphorylation, disrupting MET-driven signaling pathways. Additionally, at clinically relevant concentrations, Tepotinib inhibits melatonin 2 and imidazoline 1 receptors. In vitro studies show that it suppresses tumor cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and migration of MET-dependent cancer cells. In mouse models with MET-driven tumors, including those with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, Tepotinib reduced tumor growth, sustained MET phosphorylation inhibition, and, in one case, decreased metastasis formation. The recommended dose of TEPMETKO is 450 mg taken orally once daily until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. Patients should take it at the same time each day, swallowing tablets whole without chewing, crushing, or splitting them. If a dose is missed and less than eight hours remain until the next scheduled dose, patients should skip it. In cases of vomiting after taking TEPMETKO, the next dose should be taken at the usual time. Learn more about TEPMETKO projected market size for NSCLC @ TEPMETKO Market Potential Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 81% of all diagnosed cases. Early detection greatly improves outcomes, but diagnosing NSCLC and other lung cancers is challenging because their symptoms are often mistaken for common illnesses or the long-term effects of smoking. Consequently, 80% of NSCLC cases are already at advanced stages by the time they are identified, making treatment more difficult. Around 80% of EGFR mutations in NSCLC involve either exon 19 deletions or the exon 21 L858R substitution, both of which are classified as sensitizing mutations. Until the last decade, chemotherapy was the primary treatment for advanced and metastatic lung cancer. However, this changed in 2015 with the approval of the first immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), as a second-line therapy for advanced cases. This was followed by TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) in 2016. Both therapies were later approved for first-line treatment, broadening their use to a larger patient population. In 2020, the combination of OPDIVO (nivolumab) and ipilimumab also received approval as a first-line treatment for metastatic NSCLC. According to DelveInsight, the NSCLC market size across the 7MM is projected to grow from USD 30 billion in 2024, with a substantial CAGR through 2034. This growth is largely driven by the introduction of emerging therapies during the forecast period (2025–2034).

In September 2019, the US FDA granted BTD for tepotinib in patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring METex14 skipping alterations who progressed following platinum-based cancer therapy Discover how TEPMETKO is shaping the NSCLC treatment landscape @ TEPMETKO NSCLC TEPMETKO Market Dynamics TEPMETKO competes in a growing but highly specialized market where MET-targeted therapies are gaining traction due to their efficacy in addressing MET-altered tumors. The market for MET inhibitors is expanding as precision oncology advances and molecular diagnostics become more widely available, enabling better identification of patients who would benefit from targeted treatments like TEPMETKO. A key factor shaping TEPMETKO's market dynamics is competition. It directly competes with Novartis' TABRECTA (capmatinib), another MET inhibitor approved for the same indication. While TEPMETKO offers the advantage of once-daily dosing compared to TABRECTA's twice-daily regimen, both drugs have similar efficacy profiles, making physician and patient preference an important differentiator. Additionally, broader competition from next-generation MET inhibitors and combination therapies in clinical trials could impact TEPMETKO's long-term market position. Regulatory approvals and market access play a crucial role in TEPMETKO's adoption. The drug has been approved in multiple regions, including the U.S., Europe, and Japan, but reimbursement and pricing strategies vary by market. Payer policies, along with the cost-benefit analysis of MET inhibitors compared to other targeted therapies, influence prescription trends. Furthermore, real-world evidence and post-marketing studies will be critical in demonstrating TEPMETKO's sustained effectiveness and safety, which could support expanded indications and increased market penetration. Looking ahead, the MET inhibitor market is expected to grow with advances in biomarker-driven therapy, further refining patient selection. TEPMETKO's success will depend on continued clinical development, potential label expansions, and strategic partnerships to strengthen its competitive edge. As new entrants emerge, Merck KGaA's ability to differentiate TEPMETKO through combination strategies or enhanced formulations may determine its long-term sustainability in this evolving landscape.
