RESUMO
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common condition among women. Fluconazole remains the dominant treatment option for VVC. Oteseconazole is a highly selective inhibitor of fungal CYP51. This randomized, double-blinded, phase 3 trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oteseconazole compared with fluconazole in treating severe VVC. Female subjects presenting with vulvovaginal signs and symptoms score of ≥7 and positive Candida infection determined by potassium hydroxide test or Gram staining were randomly assigned to receive oteseconazole (600 mg on D1 and 450 mg on D2) or fluconazole (150 mg on D1 and D4) in a 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint was the proportion of subjects achieving therapeutic cure [defined as achieving both clinical cure (absence of signs and symptoms of VVC) and mycological cure (negative culture of Candida species)] at D28. A total of 322 subjects were randomized and 321 subjects were treated. At D28, a statistically significantly higher proportion of subjects achieved therapeutic cure in the oteseconazole group than in the fluconazole group (66.88% vs 45.91%; P = 0.0002). Oteseconazole treatment resulted in an increased proportion of subjects achieving mycological cure (82.50% vs 59.12%; P < 0.0001) and clinical cure (71.25% vs 55.97%; P = 0.0046) compared with fluconazole. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar between the two groups. No subjects discontinued study treatment or withdrew study due to adverse events. Oteseconazole showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful superiority over fluconazole for the treatment of severe VVC and was generally tolerated.

AIM: To assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs) and pharmacodynamics of HRS-7535, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), in healthy participants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This phase 1 trial consisted of single-ascending dose (SAD), food effect (FE) and multiple-ascending dose (MAD) parts. In the SAD part, participants were randomized (6:2) to receive HRS-7535 (at doses of 15, 60 and 120 mg; administered orally once daily) or placebo. In the FE part, participants were randomized (8:2) to receive a single dose of 90-mg HRS-7535 or placebo, in both fed and fasted states. In the MAD part, participants were randomized (18:6) to receive daily HRS-7535 (120 mg [30/60/90/120-mg titration scheme]) or placebo for 28 days. The primary endpoints were safety and tolerability. RESULTS: Nausea and vomiting were the most frequently reported AEs across all three parts. In the SAD part, the median Tmax was 5.98-5.99 hours and the geometric mean t1/2 was 5.28-9.08 hours across the HRS-7535 dosing range. In the MAD part, the median Tmax was 5.98-10.98 hours and the geometric mean t1/2 was 6.48-8.42 hours on day 28 in participants on HRS-7535. PKs were approximately dose-proportional. On day 29 in the MAD part, the mean (percentage) reduction in body weight from baseline was 4.38 kg (6.63%) for participants who received HRS-7535, compared with 0.8 kg (1.18%) for those participants who received a placebo. CONCLUSIONS: HRS-7535 exhibited a safety and tolerability profile consistent with other GLP-1RAs and showed PKs suitable for once-daily dosing. These findings support further clinical development of HRS-7535 for type 2 diabetes.

AIM: This study assessed the efficacy and safety of co-administering retagliptin and henagliflozin versus individual agents at corresponding doses in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were inadequately controlled with metformin. METHODS: This multicentre, phase 3 trial consisted of a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled period. Patients with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels between 7.5% and 10.5% were randomized to receive once-daily retagliptin 100 mg (R100; n = 155), henagliflozin 5 mg (H5; n = 156), henagliflozin 10 mg (H10; n = 156), co-administered R100/H5 (n = 155), or R100/H10 (n = 156). The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24. RESULTS: Based on the primary estimand, the least squares mean reductions in HbA1c at week 24 were significantly greater in the R100/H5 (-1.51%) and R100/H10 (-1.54%) groups compared with those receiving the corresponding doses of individual agents (-0.98% for R100, -0.86% for H5 and -0.95% for H10, respectively; p < .0001 for all pairwise comparisons). Achievement of HbA1c <7.0% at week 24 was observed in 27.1% of patients in the R100 group, 21.2% in the H5 group, 24.4% in the H10 group, 57.4% in the R100/H5 group and 56.4% in the R100/H10 group. Reductions in fasting plasma glucose and 2-h postprandial glucose were also more pronounced in the co-administration groups compared with the individual agents at corresponding doses. Decreases in body weight and systolic blood pressure were greater in the groups containing henagliflozin than in the R100 group. The incidence rates of adverse events were similar across all treatment groups, with no reported episodes of severe hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS: For patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled by metformin monotherapy, the co-administration of retagliptin and henagliflozin yielded more effective glycaemic control through 24 weeks compared with the individual agents at their corresponding doses.

BACKGROUND: The effect of the combination of an anti-angiogenic agent with a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor in cancer treatment is unclear. We assessed the oral combination of fuzuloparib, a PARP inhibitor, and apatinib, a VEGFR2 inhibitor for treating advanced ovarian cancer (OC) or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). METHODS: This dose-escalation and pharmacokinetics-expansion phase 1 trial was conducted in China. We used a standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation design, with 7 dose levels tested. Patients received fuzuloparib orally twice daily, and apatinib orally once daily. The study objectives were to determine the safety profile, recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), pharmacokinetics, preliminary efficacy, and efficacy in relation to germline BRCA mutation (gBRCAmut). RESULTS: Fifty-two pre-treated patients were enrolled (30 OC/22 TNBC). 5 (9.6%) patients had complete response, 14 (26.9%) had partial response, and 15 (28.8%) had stable disease. Objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate were 36.5% (95% CI 23.6-51.0) and 65.4% (95% CI 50.9-78.0), respectively. At the highest dose level of fuzuloparib 100 mg plus apatinib 500 mg, the ORR was 50.0% (4/8; 95% CI 15.7-84.3); this dose was determined to be the RP2D. Patients with gBRCAmut had higher ORR and longer median progression-free survival (PFS) than those with gBRCAwt, both in OC (ORR, 62.5% [5/8] vs 40.9% [9/22]; PFS, 9.4 vs 6.7 months) and TNBC (ORR, 66.7% [2/3] vs 15.8% [3/19]; PFS, 5.6 vs 2.8 months). Two dose-limiting toxicities occurred: grade 4 febrile neutropenia (fuzuloparib 100 mg plus apatinib 250 mg) and thrombocytopenia (fuzuloparib 100 mg plus apatinib 375 mg). Maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The most common treatment-related grade ≥ 3 toxicities in all patients were hypertension (19.2%), anaemia (13.5%), and decreased platelet count (5.8%). Exposure of apatinib increased proportionally with increasing dose ranging from 250 to 500 mg, when combined with fuzuloparib 100 mg. CONCLUSIONS: Fuzuloparib plus apatinib had acceptable safety in patients with advanced OC or TNBC. Fuzuloparib 100 mg bid plus apatinib 500 mg qd was established as the RP2D. With the promising clinical activity observed, this combination is warranted to be further explored as a potential alternative to chemotherapy.

LESSONS LEARNED: Radiotherapy plus anti-PD-1 antibody as first-line therapy is safe and feasible in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Tumor-infiltrating and peripheral lymphocytes were associated with patient survival. Further studies combining chemoradiotherapy with immunotherapy in locally advanced ESCC and exploration of predictive biomarkers are warranted. BACKGROUND: We conducted a phase Ib study of radiotherapy plus programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody camrelizumab as first-line treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS: We planned to enroll 20 patients with newly diagnosed locally advanced ESCC. Patients received 60 Gy radiation (2.0 Gy/fraction, 5 fractions/week), with camrelizumab (200 mg every 2 weeks) starting with radiotherapy and continuing for 32 weeks (i.e., for 16 cycles). The primary endpoints were safety and feasibility. Secondary endpoints were rates of radiologic and pathologic response, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Study data were collected by the week during radiotherapy (RT), every month during the maintenance camrelizumab treatment, and every 3 months after treatment. Tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood were monitored at baseline and after 40 Gy radiation for association with efficacy. RESULTS: Twenty patients were enrolled and received treatment. One patient (patient 10) was excluded upon discovery of a second tumor in the bladder during treatment, leaving 19 patients for analysis. Toxicity was deemed tolerable. Fourteen (74%) patients had assessed objective response. At a median follow-up time of 31.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.0-35.1), median OS and PFS times were 16.7 months (95% CI, 5.9-27.9) and 11.7 months (95% CI, 0-30.3), respectively. OS and PFS rates at 24 months were 31.6% and 35.5%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed associations between the following factors and OS/PFS: tumor programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, PD-1+ CD8+ , PD-1+ CD4+ T cells, and PD-L1+ CD4+ T cells; peripheral blood CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+ regulatory T cells, and their subsets. CONCLUSION: Radiotherapy plus camrelizumab had manageable toxicity and antitumor efficacy for locally advanced ESCC. Several biomarkers were associated with clinical benefit and deserve further study.

PURPOSE: We recently reported results of a phase II trial that camrelizumab plus apatinib induced an objective response rate (ORR) at 43.3% in advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study presents analysis of potential biomarkers. METHODS: TILs, CD8+ T cells and PD-1/PD-L1 expression were evaluated in tumor samples by immunohistochemistry. 59 Cytokines/chemokines, growth factors, or checkpoint-related proteins, blood immune cell subpopulations were analyzed in blood samples by multiplexed bead immunoassays or flow cytometry. Correlation between biomarkers and clinical outcomes including ORR, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) was analyzed. RESULTS: 28 Patients had biopsies and blood collected. Baseline TILs were significantly associated with longer PFS (P = 0.035). An increase of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells > 15% during therapy was associated with higher ORR (P = 0.040). Patients with lower baseline plasma levels of HGF or IL-8 were more likely to respond to treatment (P = 0.005 or 0.001, respectively), and showed a longer PFS and OS. Patients with a decrease of IL-8, or an increase of TIM-3 or CD152 during treatment responded more to treatment (P = 0.008, 0.040, or 0.014, respectively). Responders had a higher baseline CD4+ T cells and B cell proportions in blood than non-responders (P = 0.002 and 0.030, respectively). CONCLUSION: Higher baseline TILs or a greater increase of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells during therapy, lower baseline plasma HGF/IL-8, a decrease of plasma IL-8, an increase of plasma TIM-3/CD152 during therapy, higher baseline CD4+ T cells or B cells proportion in blood are potential biomarkers for combinational anti-angiogenesis and immunotherapy in advanced TNBC patients.

BACKGROUND: Trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1), one of the most potent HER2-targeted drugs, shows impressive efficacy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancers. However, resistance inevitably occurs and becomes a critical clinical problem. METHODS: We modelled the development of acquired resistance by exposing HER2-positive cells to escalating concentrations of T-DM1. Signalling pathways activation was detected by western blotting, gene expression was analysed by qRT-PCR and gene copy numbers were determined by qPCR. The role of Yes on resistance was confirmed by siRNA-mediated knockdown and stable transfection-mediated overexpression. The in vivo effects were tested in xenograft model. RESULTS: We found that Yes is overexpressed in T-DM1-resistant cells owing to amplification of chromosome region 18p11.32, where the YES1 gene resides. Yes activated multiple proliferation-related signalling pathways, including EGFR, PI3K and MAPK, and led to cross-resistance to all types of HER2-targeted drugs, including antibody-drug conjugate, antibody and small molecule inhibitor. The outcome of this cross-resistance may be a clinically incurable condition. Importantly, we found that inhibiting Yes with dasatinib sensitised resistant cells in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed that YES1 amplification conferred resistance to HER2-targeted drugs and suggested the potential application of the strategy of combining HER2 and Yes inhibition in the clinic.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of platinum- and non-platinum-based regimens as first-line treatment for advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and analyze the relationship between their efficacy and BRCA gene status. METHODS: Retrospectively analyze clinical data of 220 patients diagnosed pathologically with advanced TNBC and treated at the Department of Breast Oncology, Peking University Cancer Hospital from 2013 to 2018 and evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy. A total of 114 patients had BRCA1/2 gene tested by next generation sequencing (NGS) using peripheral blood, and we analyzed the correlation between their efficacy and BRCA1/2 gene status. RESULTS: Non-platinum-based chemotherapy (NPCT) was administered to 129 and platinum-based chemotherapy (PBCT) to 91 study patients. The clinical benefit rate (CBR) and median progression-free survival (PFS) were not statistically different between NPCT and PBCT groups. The median overall survival (OS) was 30.0 and 22.5 months for PBCT and NPCT group, respectively [P=0.090, hazard ratios (HR)=0.703]. BRCA status was assessed in 114 patients, 14 of whom had deleterious germline BRCA1/2 (gBRCA) mutations (seven in each group). In PBCT group, the CBR was 85.7% and 35.1% for patients with and without deleterious gBRCA mutations, respectively (P=0.039). The median PFS were 14.9 and 5.3 months and median OS were 26.5 and 15.5 months for patients with and without deleterious gBRCA mutations, respectively (P=0.001, P=0.161, respectively). Patients in PBCT group had significantly greater rates of grade 3-4 anemia (5.5%vs. 0%) and thrombocytopenia (8.8% vs. 0%), whereas palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (12.4% vs. 0%) and peripheral neuropathy (8.6% vs. 1.1%) occurred more frequently in NPCT group. CONCLUSIONS: Platinum-based regimens are more effective in patients with deleterious gBRCA mutations, but no difference in patients without BRCA gene mutations, so non-platinum is an option in patients without BRCA gene mutations considering the toxicity and side effect. And we recommend that patients with advanced TNBC should have BRCA gene test.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Fluzoparib (SHR3162) is a novel, potent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP)1, 2 inhibitor that showed anti-tumor activity in xenograft models. We conducted a phase I, first-in-human, dose-escalation and expansion (D-Esc and D-Ex) trial in patients with advanced solid cancer. METHODS: This was a 3+3 phase I D-Esc trial with a 3-level D-Ex at 5 hospitals in China. Eligible patients for D-Esc had advanced solid tumors refractory to standard therapies, and D-Ex enrolled patients with ovarian cancer (OC). Fluzoparib was administered orally once or twice daily (bid) at 11 dose levels from 10 to 400 mg/d. Endpoints included dose-finding, safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity. RESULTS: Seventy-nine patients were enrolled from March, 2015 to January, 2018 [OC (47, 59.5%); breast cancer (BC) (16, 20.3%); colorectal cancer (8, 10.1%), other tumors (8, 10.1%)]; 48 patients were treated in the D-Esc arm and 31 in the D-Ex arm. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 150 mg bid, with a half-life of 9.14 h. Grade 3/4 adverse events included anemia (7.6%) and neutropenia (5.1%). The objective response rate (ORR) was 30% (3/10) in patients with platinum-sensitive OC and 7.7% (1/13) in patients with BC. Among patients treated with fluzoparib ≥120 mg/d, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 7.2 [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.8-9.3] months in OC, 9.3 (95% CI, 7.2-9.3) months in platinum-sensitive OC, and 3.5 (range, 2.0-28.0) months in BC. In patients with germline BC susceptibility gene mutation (gBRCA Mut) (11/43 OC; 2/16 BC), mPFS was 8.9 months for OC (range, 1.0-23.2; 95% CI, 1.0-16.8) and 14 and 28 months for BC (those two patients both also had somaticBRCA Mut). CONCLUSIONS: The MTD of fluzoparib was 150 mg bid in advanced solid malignancies. Fluzoparib demonstrated single-agent antitumor activity in BC and OC, particularly in BRCA Mut and platinum-sensitive OC.
RESUMO
Inhibition of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6-retinoblastoma (RB) pathway is an effective therapeutic strategy against cancer. Here, we performed a preclinical investigation of the antitumor activity of SHR6390, a novel CDK4/6 inhibitor. SHR6390 exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against a wide range of human RB-positive tumor cells in vitro, and exclusively induced G1 arrest as well as cellular senescence, with a concomitant reduction in the levels of Ser780-phosphorylated RB protein. Compared with the well-known CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, orally administered SHR6390 led to equivalent or improved tumor efficacy against a panel of carcinoma xenografts, and produced marked tumor regression in some models, in association with sustained target inhibition in tumor tissues. Furthermore, SHR6390 overcame resistance to endocrine therapy and HER2-targeting antibody in ER-positive and HER2-positive breast cancer, respectively. Moreover, SHR6390 combined with endocrine therapy exerted remarkable synergistic antitumor activity in ER-positive breast cancer. Taken together, our findings indicate that SHR6390 is a novel CDK4/6 inhibitor with favorable pharmaceutical properties for use as an anticancer agent.

Trastuzumab-emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate that has been approved for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer. Despite the remarkable efficacy of T-DM1 in many patients, resistance to this therapeutic has emerged as a significant clinical problem. In the current study, we used BT-474/KR cells, a T-DM1-resistant cell line established from HER2-positive BT-474 breast cancer cells, as a model to investigate mechanisms of T-DM1 resistance and explore effective therapeutic regimens. We show here for the first time that activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mediated by leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) overexpression confers resistance to T-DM1. Moreover, secreted factors induced by activated STAT3 in resistant cells limit the responsiveness of cells that were originally sensitive to T-DM1. Importantly, STAT3 inhibition sensitizes resistant cells to T-DM1, both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that the combination T-DM1 with STAT3-targeted therapy is a potential treatment for T-DM1-refractory patients.

Introduction: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is integral to inducing innate and T helper two cell inflammation that leads to clinical symptoms of asthma. SHR-1905 is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 kappa monoclonal antibody that inhibits TSLP bioactivity, developed for the treatment of severe uncontrolled asthma. This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose study assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of subcutaneous SHR-1905 in healthy subjects. Methods: Five dose cohorts were planned (50, 100, 200, 400, and 600 mg) and subjects were randomized (8:2) in each cohort to receive SHR-1905 or placebo with a follow-up period up to Day 253. Results: The majority of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild and the incidence of TEAEs was comparable between the SHR-1905 and the placebo groups. The maximum serum concentration was reached 7.0-17.6 days after injection. The serum concentration of SHR-1905 increased with increasing dose level, and SHR-1905 exposure exhibited in a slightly greater-than-dose-proportional manner from 50 to 600 mg. SHR-1905 had a prolonged serum half-life around 80 days supporting every 6-month dosing. In SHR-1905 treated subjects, 15% tested positive for anti-drug antibodies post-dose with no apparent effect on corresponding PK profiles or safety. Conclusion: SHR-1905 demonstrated a good safety and tolerability profile with a long half-life in healthy subjects after a single administration in the dose range of 50-600 mg. Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT04800263.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This first-in-human study evaluated HRS-1780, an oral selective non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, in healthy men. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In single ascending dose (SAD) part, 10 participants for each dose cohort (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg) were randomized (8:2) to HRS-1780 or placebo. In multiple ascending dose part, 12 participants for each dose (10, 20, and 40 mg) were randomized (9:3) to HRS-1780 or placebo once daily for 7 days. The primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. RESULTS: HRS-1780 was well tolerated with all adverse events being mild. In the steady state, the median time to maximum concentration (Tmax) was 0.750 h and mean half-life was 1.76-1.96 h. High-fat/high-calorie meal prolonged Tmax but did not affect exposure. Multiple dosing of HRS-1780 at 40 mg showed a decreasing trend in systolic blood pressure compared with placebo. Changes in plasma aldosterone and norepinephrine with HRS-1780 were higher compared to placebo. Upper bounds of two-sided 90% confidence interval of placebo-adjusted change-from-baseline QTcF were below 10 msec at the maximum concentration in SAD. The trial had limited sample size and short study duration. CONCLUSIONS: HRS-1780 had favorable safety and pharmacokinetic profiles and did not cause clinically meaningful QTcF prolongation. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05638126).
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Combination treatments with immune-checkpoint inhibitor and antiangiogenic therapy have the potential for synergistic activity through modulation of the microenvironment and represent a notable therapeutic strategy in recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). We report the results of camrelizumab (an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 antibody) in combination with famitinib (a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) for the treatment of platinum-resistant ROC from an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 basket trial. METHODS: Eligible patients with platinum-resistant ROC were enrolled to receive camrelizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks by intravenous infusion) and oral famitinib (20 mg once daily). All patients had disease progression during or <6 months after their most recent platinum-based chemotherapy. Primary endpoint was confirmed objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) V.1.1 based on investigator's assessment. Secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), 12-month OS rate and safety profile. RESULTS: Of the 37 women enrolled, 11 (29.7%) patients had primary platinum resistant, 15 (40.5%) patients had secondary platinum resistant and 11 (29.7%) patients had primary platinum refractory disease. As the cut-off date of April 9, 2021, nine (24.3%) patients had achieved a confirmed objective response, the ORR was 24.3% (95% CI, 11.8 to 41.2) and the DCR was 54.1% (95% CI, 36.9 to 70.5). Patients with this combination regimen showed a median TTR of 2.1 months (range, 1.8-4.1) and a median DoR of 4.1 months (95% CI, 1.9 to 6.3). Median PFS was 4.1 months (95% CI, 2.1 to 5.7), and median OS was 18.9 months (95% CI, 10.8 to not reached), with the median follow-up duration of 22.0 months (range, 12.0-23.7). The estimated 12-month OS rate was 67.2% (95% CI, 49.4 to 79.9). The most common ≥grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were hypertension (32.4%), decreased neutrophil count (29.7%) and decreased platelet count (13.5%). One (2.7%) patient died of grade 5 hemorrhage that was judged possibly related to study treatment by investigator. CONCLUSION: The camrelizumab with famitinib combination appeared to show antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with platinum-resistant ROC with an acceptable safety profile. This combination might provide a novel alternative treatment strategy in platinum-resistant ROC setting and warranted further exploration. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03827837.

Introduction: Our preclinical work suggests that low-dose angiogenesis inhibition could potentiate programmed cell death protein 1 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade. In a cohort of our multicenter phase 1b and 2 study (NCT03083041), promising antitumor activity was observed with camrelizumab plus low-dose apatinib in chemotherapy-pretreated patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC. We hereby reported the results in treatment-naive patients (cohort 4) from the same study. Methods: Eligible patients had untreated advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with a high tumor mutational burden (TMB) (tissue TMB >10 mutations per megabase or blood TMB ≥1.54 mutations per megabase) and without sensitizing EGFR or ALK alterations. Patients received camrelizumab 200 mg intravenously every 2 weeks plus apatinib 250 mg orally once daily. The primary end point was the objective response rate (ORR) per investigator. Results: A total of 25 patients were enrolled and treated. A total of 10 (40.0%) confirmed partial responses and 13 (52.0%) stable diseases were observed. The ORR was 40.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 21.1-61.3) and disease control rate was 92.0% (95% CI: 74.0-99.0). With a median follow-up of 19.5 months, the median progression-free survival was 9.6 months (95% CI: 5.5-not reached), whereas the overall survival was not reached; the median duration of response was 15.6 months (95% CI: 3.8-not reached). Similar ORR and progression-free survival were observed regardless of PD-L1 tumor proportion score (≥1% versus <1%). The most common treatment-related grade 3 or higher adverse events were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (24.0%), increased alanine aminotransferase (16.0%), and abnormal hepatic function (16.0%). Conclusions: Frontline camrelizumab plus low-dose apatinib exhibited promising clinical activity with acceptable safety in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC regardless of PD-L1 expression.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Dual blockade of immune checkpoint and angiogenesis is an effective strategy for multiple cancers. Camrelizumab is a monoclonal antibody against PD-1, and famitinib is a multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antiangiogenesis and antiproliferation activities against tumor cells. We conducted an open-label, multicenter phase 2 basket study of camrelizumab and famitinib in eight cohorts of genitourinary or gynecological cancers. Here, findings in cohort of advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with platinum-progressive disease (cohort 2) are presented. METHODS: Patients who had progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease or had progressed within 12 months after completion of platinum-based (neo)adjuvant therapy were given camrelizumab (200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks) plus famitinib (20 mg orally once daily). Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. RESULTS: Totally, 36 patients were recruited. With a median duration from enrollment to data cut-off of 11.9 months (range 6.1-28.5), ORR was 30.6% (95% CI 16.3% to 48.1%). Median duration of response (DoR) was 6.3 months (95% CI 2.1 to not reached). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.1 months (95% CI 2.2 to 8.2), and median overall survival (OS) was 12.9 months (95% CI 8.8 to not reached). Patients with bladder cancer (n=18) had numerically better outcomes, with an ORR of 38.9% (95% CI 17.3% to 64.3%) and a median PFS of 8.3 months (95% CI 4.1 to not reached). Median DoR and OS in this subpopulation had not been reached with lower limit of 95% CI of 4.2 months for DoR and 11.3 months for OS, respectively. Of 36 patients, 22 (61.1%) had grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events, mainly decreased platelet count and hypertension. CONCLUSIONS: Camrelizumab plus famitinib showed potent antitumor activity in advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma patients after platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with bladder cancer seemed to have better response to this combination. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03827837.

Background: Limited data are available for the combination regimen of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor and anti-angiogenic agents as second-line therapy for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in patients with squamous NSCLC. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab plus apatinib (a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor) as second-line treatment in patients with advanced squamous NSCLC. Methods: In the Cohort 3 from a phase II dose-expansion trial, patients with advanced non-central squamous NSCLC who were immunotherapy naïve and had failed prior first-line platinum-based chemotherapy received 200 mg of camrelizumab intravenously every 2 weeks plus oral apatinib at the recommended dose of 250 mg once daily. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by the investigators as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1. Results: Cohort 3 was prematurely terminated because of slow accrual after 25 patients with advanced squamous NSCLC had been enrolled between 10 October 2018, and 3 March 2019. At the data cutoff date of 12 June 2020, the median follow-up was 13.3 (range, 1.6 to 19.2) months. Among all 25 participants, the ORR was 32.0% (95% CI: 14.9% to 53.5%), the clinical benefit rate was 44.0% (95% CI: 24.4% to 65.1%), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 84.0% (95% CI: 63.9% to 95.5%). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6.0 (95% CI: 3.5 to 8.1) months, and median overall survival (OS) was 13.3 (95% CI: 6.4 to 18.8) months. Furthermore, clinical benefits from this combination regimen were evident across all tumor PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression subgroups. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 3 or higher were hypertension (44.0%) and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (16.0%). As reported by the investigators, 3 participants (12.0%) died due to TRAEs (interstitial pneumonia, hemorrhage, and unknown reason; n=1 each, 4%). Conclusions: Camrelizumab plus apatinib as second-line therapy showed satisfactory antitumor activity in patients with non-central squamous NSCLC, regardless of tumor PD-L1 expression. Camrelizumab plus apatinib had a manageable safety profile in this patient population, and the toxic reactions observed were generally consistent with those in previously reported studies. Interstitial pneumonia and hemorrhage are important risks requiring careful monitoring and prompt intervention.
RESUMO
Background: Camrelizumab plus apatinib shows encouraging antitumor activity and acceptable toxicity in chemotherapy-pretreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, clinical benefits from this combination regimen in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangements (EGFR+/ALK+) have not been reported. We assessed the efficacy and safety of this combined regimen in pretreated patients with advanced NSCLC and defined EGFR/ALK status (EGFR+/ALK+) in a phase 1b/2 trial. Methods: Previously treated patients with advanced EGFR+/ALK+ NSCLC were enrolled and given camrelizumab 200 mg intravenously every 2 weeks plus apatinib at the recommended dose of 250 mg orally once daily. Patients harboring sensitive EGFR mutations or ALK fusion genes had received at least one EGFR/ALK TKI and a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen before the enrollment. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Results: All 43 enrolled patients comprised the efficacy and safety analysis population. The confirmed ORR was 18.6% (95% CI: 8.4-33.4%) and the clinical benefit response rate was 27.9% (95% CI: 15.3-43.7%). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.8 months (95% CI: 1.9-5.5 months) and median overall survival was not reached (95% CI: 7.3 months-not reached), with a median follow-up period of 15.7 months (range, 0.5-24.4 months). The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were hypertension (16.3%), proteinuria (11.6%) and palmar-plantar erythrodysaesthesia syndrome (9.3%). No unexpected adverse events were recorded. Conclusions: Camrelizumab plus apatinib showed moderate antitumor activity and acceptable safety profile in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR or ALK genetic aberrations, which warranted further validation. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03083041. Registered March 17, 2017.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Blockade of immune checkpoint and angiogenesis is an effective treatment strategy for advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We report the results of camrelizumab plus famitinib in the RCC cohort of an open-label, multicenter, phase II basket study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eligible patients were enrolled to receive camrelizumab (200 mg i.v. every 3 weeks) and famitinib (20 mg orally once daily). Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST version 1.1. RESULTS: Totally, 38 patients were recruited, including 13 (34.2%) treatment-naïve and 25 (65.8%) previously treated patients. With a median duration from enrollment to data cutoff of 16.5 months (range, 6.1-20.4), 23 patients achieved a confirmed objective response, and ORR was 60.5% [95% confidence interval (CI), 43.4-76.0]. Responses in 18 (78.3%) responders were still ongoing, and Kaplan-Meier estimated median duration of response had not been reached yet (range, 1.0+-14.8+ months). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 14.6 months (95% CI, 6.2-not reached). ORR was 84.6% (95% CI, 54.6-98.1) in treatment-naïve patients and 48.0% (95% CI, 27.8-68.7) in pretreated patients; median PFS had not been reached and was 13.4 months (95% CI, 4.1-not reached), respectively. Most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events included proteinuria (18.4%), hypertension (18.4%), decreased neutrophil count (13.2%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome (10.5%), and hypertriglyceridemia (10.5%). No treatment-related deaths occurred, and no new safety signals were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Camrelizumab plus famitinib showed potent and enduring antitumor activity in patients with advanced or metastatic RCC, both in treatment-naïve and previously treated population.

Patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) show poor survival after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. This study investigated the safety and feasibility of combining concurrent chemoradiotherapy with the anti-PD-1 antibody camrelizumab as first-line treatment for these patients. In this phase 1b study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03671265), patients received concurrent chemotherapy (cisplatin [25 mg/m2] plus docetaxel [25 mg/m2] for 4 weeks) and radiotherapy (2.0 Gy/fraction, total 60 Gy) with camrelizumab (200 mg every 2 weeks for 32 weeks). Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability, and health-related quality of life. Secondary endpoints were radiological and pathological response rates, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Candidate biomarkers in tumor and peripheral blood were monitored at baseline and after 40 Gy radiation. Twenty patients were enrolled. The most common treatment-related grade 3 adverse events included radiation esophagitis (20%) and esophageal fistula (10%). Serious treatment-related adverse events occurred in eight (40%) patients. No treatment-related deaths were reported. Health-related quality of life did not deteriorate. Thirteen (65%) patients had an objective response after 40 Gy radiation. At a median follow-up of 23.7 months (95% CI 21.9-24.5), OS and PFS time ranged from 8.2-28.5 and 4.0-28.5 months, respectively. The 12-month and 24-month OS rate was 85.0% and 69.6%; PFS rate was 80.0% and 65.0%. Tumor PD-L1 expression and CD11c+ dendritic cells and peripheral-blood IL-27, IL-15, Eotaxin-3, and IL-22 were associated with OS. First-line concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus camrelizumab had a manageable safety profile and promising antitumour efficacy for ESCC, and deserves further study.
