Mashup Score: 3
PURPOSE Tissue factor is highly expressed in cervical carcinoma and can be targeted by tisotumab vedotin (TV), an antibody-drug conjugate. This phase Ib/II study evaluated TV in combination with bevacizumab, pembrolizumab, or carboplatin for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (r/mCC). METHODS This open-label, multicenter study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03786081) included dose-escalation arms that assessed dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and identified the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of TV in combination with bevacizumab (arm A), pembrolizumab (arm B), or carboplatin (arm C). The dose-expansion arms evaluated TV antitumor activity and safety at RP2D in combination with carboplatin as first-line (1L) treatment (arm D) or with pembrolizumab as 1L (arm E) or second-/third-line (2L/3L) treatment (arm F). The primary end point of dose expansion was objective response rate (ORR). RESULTS A total of 142 patients were enrolled. In dose escalation (n = 41), no DLTs were observ

Mashup Score: 4Bempegaldesleukin Plus Nivolumab in Untreated Advanced Melanoma: The Open-Label, Phase III PIVOT IO 001 Trial Results - 2 month(s) ago
PURPOSE Despite marked advances in the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma, the need for novel therapies remains. Bempegaldesleukin (BEMPEG), a pegylated interleukin-2 (IL-2) cytokine prodrug, demonstrated efficacy in the phase II PIVOT-02 trial. PIVOT IO 001 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03635983) is a phase III, randomized, open-label study that builds on the PIVOT-02 results in first-line melanoma. METHODS Patients with previously untreated, unresectable, or metastatic melanoma were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive BEMPEG plus nivolumab (NIVO) or NIVO monotherapy. Primary end points were objective response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review and overall survival (OS). Secondary and exploratory end points included additional efficacy measures, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) and pharmacodynamics analyses. RESULTS In 783 patients (n = 391, BEMPEG plus NIVO; n = 392, NIVO monotherapy), the median follow-up was 11.6 m

Mashup Score: 0Resistance to ADCs in breast cancer and novel combination strategies - 2 month(s) ago
Erika Hamilton, MD, Sarah Cannon Research Institute, Nashville, TN, provides an overview of resistance mechanisms to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in patients with breast cancer. Downregulation of receptors such as HER2, which is a target for trastuzumab deruxtecan, can induce resistance, and mutations in tumors can additionally result in resistance to the payload. Dr Hamilton also discusses promising combination strategies, where combining ADCs with endocrine therapies, immunotherapies, or PARP inhibitors may have a synergistic effect without a serious increase in toxicity.

Natalie Vokes, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses the EMPOWER-Lung 1 trial (NCT03088540), which investigated cemiplimab versus chemotherapy in patients with advanced, PD-L1-high non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the study was to assess the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics to understand immunotherapy responses. A clear bimodal distribution was witnessed in the immunotherapy cohort. In the chemotherapy cohort, many patients ctDNA reduced, but there was markedly less complete clearance. Patients who had a complete clearance of ctDNA had better long-term outcomes in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). In terms of radiographic response assessments, dynamics correlated with either partial response or progressive disease. However, patients with stable disease either saw a rise or a fall in ctDNA levels. These patients could be categorized based on their ctDNA levels. Therefore, this study high

Tanya Siddiqi, MD, City of Hope, Duarte, CA, summarizes outcomes of the Phase I/II TRANSCEND-CLL-004 study (NCT03331198), which is investigating the safety and efficacy of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study met its primary endpoint, and Dr Siddiqi talks on the clinical benefit of this CAR-T product in this patient population. To conclude, Dr Siddiqi highlights the curative potential of this therapy and comments on the possibility of using CAR-T cells earlier in the treatment of CLL or in combination with other agents.
