ABSTRACT
Previously, we reported the modest but durable anticancer activity of regorafenib/nivolumab in mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) refractory colorectal cancer in our I/Ib study. Our finding suggests the necessity of biomarkers for better selection of patients. Baseline clinical and pathological characteristics, blood and tumor samples from the patients in the trial were collected and evaluated to discover potential biomarkers. The obtained samples were assessed for immunohistochemistry, ELISA and RNA sequencing. Their correlations with clinical outcome were analyzed. A high albumin level was significantly associated with improved progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and disease control. Non-liver metastatic disease showed prolonged PFS and OS. Low regulatory T-cell (Treg) infiltration correlated with prolonged PFS. Low MIP-1ß was associated with durable response and improved OS significantly. Upregulation of 23 genes, including CAPN9, NAPSA and ROS1, was observed in the durable disease control group, and upregulation of 10 genes, including MRPS18A, MAIP1 and CMTR2, was associated with a statistically significant improvement of PFS. This study suggests that pretreatment albumin, MIP-1ß, non-liver metastatic disease and Treg infiltration may be potential predictive biomarkers of regorafenib/nivolumab in pMMR colorectal cancer. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
