RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), administered alone, as combined androgen blockade (CAB) or as ADT plus androgen receptor signalling inhibitors (ARSIs) or ADT plus docetaxel, is the standard treatment for metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) in Japanese real-world practice. OBJECTIVE: To investigate treatment patterns and clinical outcomes in LATITUDE criteria high-risk mHNPC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The longitudinal, multicentre, J-ROCK registry study enrolled patients initiating ADT in Japan after May 2019, and categorised them as cohort 1 (ADT or CAB) or cohort 2 (ADT plus ARSIs or docetaxel). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response, progression-free survival (PFS), time to castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), overall survival (OS), and safety were evaluated. PFS, time to CRPC, and OS were estimated via the Kaplan-Meier method and between-cohort comparisons via multivariate Cox regression models. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: In total, 974 patients were included (cohort 1: 38.1%, cohort 2: 61.9%). CAB was preferred (67.4%) to ADT alone in cohort 1, and abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone was used most frequently in cohort 2 (59.4%). The proportion of patients with ≥50%/≥90% PSA decline or who achieved PSA ≤0.2/≤0.1 ng/ml tended to be higher in cohort 2. PFS (adjusted hazard ratio 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31-0.55), time to CRPC (0.28; 95% CI 0.23-0.36), and OS (0.54; 95% CI 0.35-0.82) were longer in cohort 2. In cohorts 1 and 2, adverse drug reactions of special interest (ADRSIs) occurred in 1.3% and 15.1%, and fatal adverse events occurred in 1.9% and 1.7%, respectively. Limitations included nonrandomised design, varying time since marketing authorisation for ARSIs, and limited safety assessments. CONCLUSIONS: ADT plus ARSIs or docetaxel was used more frequently to treat high-risk mHNPC than standard ADT/CAB and was associated with more favourable clinical outcomes. Although ADRSIs were reported more in cohort 2, the safety profile was considered tolerable. PATIENT SUMMARY: Although many treatment options are available for high-risk metastatic prostate cancer, there are limited reports on real-world clinical experience with different therapies outside of the clinical trial setting. In this study, we compared clinical and safety outcomes with different treatment regimens, using a large series of patients with high-risk metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer across Japan. We found that androgen deprivation therapy in combination with newer androgen receptor signalling inhibitors resulted in improved response compared with androgen deprivation therapy alone or in combination with a first-generation antiandrogen.

BACKGROUND: We performed subgroup analyses of the AFTER I-O study to clarify the association of time-to-treatment failure (TTF) and discontinuation reason of prior immune-oncology (I-O) therapy, and molecular targeted therapy (TT) regimen with the outcomes of TT after I-O. METHODS: The data of Japanese metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with TT after nivolumab (NIVO) (CheckMate 025) or NIVO + ipilimumab (IPI) (CheckMate 214) were retrospectively analyzed. The objective response rates (ORRs), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of TT after I-O were analyzed by subgroups: TTF (<6 or ≥6 months) and discontinuation reason of prior I-O (progression or adverse events), and TT regimen (sunitinib or axitinib). We also analyzed PFS2 of prior I-O and OS from first-line therapy. RESULTS: The ORR and median PFS of TT after NIVO and NIVO+IPI among the subgroups was 17-36% and 20-44%, and 7.1-11.6 months and 16.3-not reached (NR), respectively. The median OS of TT after NIVO was longer in patients with longer TTF of NIVO and treated with axitinib. Conversely, median OS of TT after NIVO+IPI was similar among subgroups. The median PFS2 of NIVO and NIVO+IPI was 36.7 and 32.0 months, respectively. The median OS from first-line therapy was 70.5 months for patients treated with NIVO and NR with NIVO+IPI. The safety profile of each TT after each I-O was similar to previous reports. CONCLUSIONS: The efficacy of TT after NIVO or NIVO+IPI was favorable regardless of the TTF and discontinuation reason of prior I-O, and TT regimen.

OBJECTIVES: Guidelines for treatment of mRCC recommend nivolumab monotherapy (NIVO) for treated patients, and nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy (NIVO+IPI) for untreated IMDC intermediate and poor-risk mRCC patients. Although molecular-targeted therapies (TTs) such as VEGFR-TKIs and mTORi are recommended as subsequent therapy after NIVO or NIVO+IPI, their efficacy and safety remain unclear. METHODS: Outcome of Japanese patients with mRCC who received TT after NIVO (CheckMate 025) or NIVO+IPI (CheckMate 214) were retrospectively analyzed. Primary endpoints were investigator-assessed ORR of the first TT after either NIVO or NIVO+IPI. Secondary endpoints included TFS, PFS, OS and safety of TTs. RESULTS: Twenty six patients in CheckMate 025 and 19 patients in CheckMate 214 from 20 centers in Japan were analyzed. As the first subsequent TT after NIVO or NIVO+IPI, axitinib was the most frequently treated regimen for both CheckMate 025 (54%) and CheckMate 214 (47%) patients. The ORRs of TT after NIVO and NIVO+IPI were 27 and 32% (all risks), and median PFSs were 8.9 and 16.3 months, respectively. During the treatment of first TT after either NIVO or NIVO+IPI, 98% of patients experienced treatment-related adverse events, including grade 3-4 events in 51% of patients, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. CONCLUSIONS: TTs have favorable antitumor activity in patients with mRCC after ICI, possibly via changing the mechanism of action. Safety signals of TTs after ICI were similar to previous reports. These results indicate that sequential TTs after ICI may contribute for long survival benefit.

Acromegaly is a disease caused by the oversecretion of growth hormone. It is currently treated by intravenous injection with cyclic peptide drugs that activate somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2). Here, novel nonpeptidic, small-molecule, and orally active SSTR2 agonists were identified from a hit compound (13). Pharmacophore studies enabled scaffold hopping to obtain a unique 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridine motif. Further optimization conferred potent SSTR2 agonistic activity and metabolic stability. Several compounds were evaluated and these showed good oral pharmacokinetic profiles in rats, and one representative compound (25) showed highly potent inhibition of growth hormone secretion induced by growth hormone-releasing hormone in rats. Based on these results, 25 was identified as a promising lead for further optimization. A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study and the metabolic stability data for this compound are also described.

The International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium(IMDC)classification is often used to predict the prognosis of patients treated with molecularly targeted agents. In this review, the authors describe the prognostic value of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein for Japanese patients with renal cell carcinoma. Both markers may help identify which patients are likely to have a poor prognosis despite molecularly targeted therapy. In these circumstances, the CheckMate 214 trial showed that nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy was superior to sunitinib for the treatment of patients with intermediate/poor prognosis. As a consequence, the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab is now positioned as standard first-line treatment for renal cell carcinoma, and the IMDCclassification is recommended as an aid in treatment decisions. Although careful management of immune-related adverse events is necessary, nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy is expected to improve the outcomes of renal cell carcinoma for which the prognosis is otherwise generally poor.

An orally active dual CysLT1 and CysLT2 antagonist possessing a distinctive structure which consists of triple bond and dicarboxylic acid moieties is described. Gemilukast (ONO-6950) was generated via isomerization of the core indole and the incorporation of a triple bond into a lead compound. Gemilukast exhibited antagonist activities with IC50 values of 1.7 and 25 nM against human CysLT1 and human CysLT2, respectively, and potent efficacy at an oral dose of 0.1 mg/kg given 24 h before LTD4 challenge in a CysLT1-dependent guinea pig asthmatic model. In addition, gemilukast dose-dependently reduced LTC4-induced bronchoconstriction in both CysLT1- and CysLT2-dependent guinea pig asthmatic models, and it reduced antigen-induced constriction of isolated human bronchi. Gemilukast is currently being evaluated in phase II trials for the treatment of asthma.

A series of (4-substituted prolyl)prolinenitriles were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP-IV). Among those tested, the 4beta-[4-(hydroxyphenyl)prolyl]prolinenitriles showed a potent inhibitory activity with a long duration of action. Metabolic formation of the corresponding phenol glucuronates was found to contribute to their long duration of action. The activity profiles of the synthesized compounds are reported and structure-activity relationships are also presented.
