TPS4159 Background: Tivantinibis a selective, non-ATP competitive, oral inhibitor of MET, the tyrosine kinase receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). MET over-expression is associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. A phase Ib study (Santoro et al, Br J Cancer, 2013) with tivantinib 360mg BID revealed no worsening of liver function in cirrhotic HCC pts. A randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 study identified HCC patients with high tumor MET expression at immunohistochemistry (IHC) as the target population for tivantinib in second line (overall survival: 7.2 months on tivantinib, 3.8 months on placebo, HR: 0.38, p=0.01), and selected 240mg BID as the appropriate dose for HCC patients (Santoro et al, Lancet Oncol, 2013). Methods: Enrollment forthis phase III clinical trial (ARQ 197-A-U303, NCT01755767) has begun.Eligible pts must present with Child Pugh A; ECOG performance score <1; inoperable RECIST 1.1 measurable disease; adequate bone marrow, liver and kidney functions; no prior liver transplant. Pts must have progressed after or not tolerated one prior line of systemic therapy including sorafenib and their tumor samples must be deemed MET-High by IHC at a central laboratory to be eligible. Approximately 303 pts are randomized 2:1 to receive tivantinib 240mg PO twice daily or placebo. Pts are stratified by vascular invasion, metastases, and alphafetoprotein level, and they are evaluated by CT or MRI scan at 8-week intervals. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival and safety. Treatment continues until confirmed disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Pts discontinued from study treatment will be followed for survival. Participating centers are located in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas. This trial is expected to complete enrollment by mid-2015, and an interim analysis is planned when approximately 60% of OS events are reached. Clinical trial information: NCT01755767.

Line Setting

455 Background: Everolimus has shown the efficacy and the safety in the phase III trial (RECORD-1) in patients with mRCC after failure of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-TKI. However, 26% of patients received two TKIs (sunitinib and sorafenib) as previous therapy in RECORD-1. In addition, as pre-treatment before TKI, 65% of patients received cytokine therapy and 13% of patients received chemotherapy. Therefore, there is still no clear evidence of everolimus as second line setting after failure of 1st-line TKI therapy. Methods: This study is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm, phase II trial. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary endpoints are overall survival, objective response rate, time-to-treatment-failure, safety and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30, FKSI-DRS, EQ-5D). Key eligibility criteria are RCC with clear cell component, patients who received one TKI as first line therapy, patients who did not receive cytokine and chemotherapy and ECOG performance status 0-1. Results: 57 patients were enrolled from 02/11 to 12/12. Median age was 63 years, common sites of metastasis were lung (32.7%) and bone (12.2%), 79.6% had previous nephrectomy, previous TKI therapy were sunitinib (69.4%), sorafenib (22.4%) and axitinib (8.2%). Median PFS was 4.4 months (95% confidence interval: 3.7-6.0). 8.2% had partial response and 57.1% had stable disease according to RECIST v.1.0. The incidence of adverse events (AEs) of all grades was 95.9%. Major AEs were stomatitis (49.0%), hypertriglyceridemia (26.5%) and hypercholesterolemia (24.5%). Serious AEs were stomatitis (10.2%), interstitial lung disease (6.1%) and rash (6.1%). There were no treatment related deaths. All QOL scores were not changed at 2 months, while dyspnea and global health scores of EORTC QLQ-C30 and FKSI-DRS score were worsened at 4 months. Conclusions: This study is a first report of everolimus as second line setting after failure of 1st-line TKI. Further study and long-term follow-up would be warranted. Clinical trial information: UMIN000004742.

Clinical Advantage

PURPOSE: A prospective randomized phase III clinical trial was conducted to assess whether the addition of tamoxifen (TAM) to the three-agent regimen of cisplatin (CDDP), dacarbazine (DTIC), and carmustine (BCNU) significantly increased the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with advanced malignant melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced malignant melanoma were treated with CDDP + DTIC + BCNU (CDB) with or without TAM. The dose schedule was CDDP 25 mg/m2 given intravenously (IV) for 30 to 45 minutes in 500 mL of dextrose and ½ normal saline (NS) on days 1 to 3 of a 3-week cycle; DTIC 220 mg/m2 IV for 1 hour in 500 mL of dextrose and ½ NaCl on days 1 to 3 of a 3-week cycle; BCNU 150 mg/m2 IV for 2 to 3 hours in 750 to1,000 mL of dextrose and 5% water onday 1 of every odd 3-week cycle; and TAM 20 mg taken orally every morning. RESULTS: There were 184 eligible patients enrolled. These patients were observed until death or for a minimum of 1.3 years. At last contact, 12 were still alive. The median time to progression was 3.4 months on the CDB arm and 3.1 months on the CDB + TAM arm. The median survival time was 6.8 months with CDB and 6.9 months with CDB + TAM. Progression-free survival (P = .429) and overall survival (P = .545) were not found to differ by treatment. CONCLUSION: The addition of TAM to this three-agent regimen of CDB was not found to provide a meaningful clinical advantage in the treatment of patients with advanced malignant melanoma.

Acute Myeloid

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia is the collective name for different types of leukemias of myeloid origin affecting blood and bone marrow. The overproduction of immature myeloblasts (white blood cells) is the characteristic feature of AML, thus flooding the bone marrow and reducing its capacity to produce normal blood cells. USFDA on August 1, 2017, approved a drug named Enasidenib formerly known as AG-221 which is being marketed under the name Idhifa to treat R/R AML with IDH2 mutation. The present review depicts the broad profile of enasidenib including various aspects of chemistry, preclinical, clinical studies, pharmacokinetics, mode of action and toxicity studies. Methods: Various reports and research articles have been referred to summarize different aspects related to chemistry and pharmacokinetics of enasidenib. Clinical data was collected from various recently published clinical reports including clinical trial outcomes. Result: The various findings of enasidenib revealed that it has been designed to allosterically inhibit mutated IDH2 to treat R/R AML patients. It has also presented good safety and efficacy profile along with 9.3 months overall survival rates of patients in which disease has relapsed. The drug is still under study either in combination or solely to treat hematological malignancies. Molecular modeling studies revealed that enasidenib binds to its target through hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding inside the binding pocket. Enasidenib is found to be associated with certain adverse effects like elevated bilirubin level, diarrhea, differentiation syndrome, decreased potassium and calcium levels, etc. Conclusion: Enasidenib or AG-221was introduced by FDA as an anticancer agent which was developed as a first in class, a selective allosteric inhibitor of the tumor target i.e. IDH2 for Relapsed or Refractory AML. Phase 1/2 clinical trial of Enasidenib resulted in the overall survival rate of 40.3% with CR of 19.3%. Phase III trial on the Enasidenib is still under process along with another trial to test its potency against other cell lines. Edasidenib is associated with certain adverse effects, which can be reduced by investigators by designing its newer derivatives on the basis of SAR studies. Hence, it may come in the light as a potent lead entity for anticancer treatment in the coming years.
