Phase 1 Clinical Trial

Abstract BACKGROUND CAN-2409 is a replication-deficient adenovirus that delivers HSV thymidine kinase to cancer cells, resulting in local conversion of orally administered valacyclovir into a toxic metabolite. Previously, a phase 1b/2 clinical trial of CAN-2409 combined with standard-of-care (SOC) demonstrated safety and improved survival in HGG patients. Addition of CAN-2409 to nivolumab has the potential to activate locally recruited lymphocytes and teach them to recognize tumor neoantigens, changing the ‘cold’ immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and synergizing with the activity mediated by immune checkpoint inhibitors. This notion is supported by preclinical experiments showing that the combination of CAN-2409 with anti-PD1 therapy was more effective than either treatment alone. METHODS This ongoing phase 1 clinical trial evaluates safety and initial efficacy of CAN-2409 combined with nivolumab and SOC in newly diagnosed HGG. CAN-2409 is injected during neurosurgery into the tumor bed, followed by 14-days of valacyclovir. Radiation starts within 8 (+/-4) days of surgery. Temozolomide is administered to MGMT-methylation positive patients only. Nivolumab is given every 2 weeks, up to 52-weeks. Deep immune profiling studies are ongoing and initial results will be available shortly. RESULTS From February 2019 to March 2021, 41 patients were enrolled and 35 were evaluable for safety from the combination of CAN-2409, nivolumab and SOC: 24 male and 11 female; 34 glioblastoma, 1 diffuse astrocytoma; 33 IDH-wildtype, 2 IDH-mutant; 15 MGMT-methylated, 20 unmethylated. Median age was 62-years (range 28-79), median KPS 90 (range 80-100). With 13 months median follow-up, no unexpected serious adverse events were observed, and 23 patients are still alive. The most frequent possibly related adverse events (>10%) were nausea, fatigue, fever, headache, and increased ALT. CONCLUSIONS The combination of CAN-2409 + nivolumab + SOC was well tolerated. Clinical follow-up and extensive biomarker analyses will provide a better understanding of the therapeutic potential of this approach.

136 Background: Radiotherapy to the Prostate in mHSPC improves overall survival (OS) and Progression free survival (PFS) for patients with low-volume-disease[1]. Radium-223 in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) improves OS [2]. We conducted a prospective phase 1/2 clinical trial in mHSPC, testing the combination of with LHRHa, concurrent pelvic radiotherapy and radium-223. Methods: Thirty patients were recruited with mHSPC; they had a minimum of 3 bone metastases (majority had > 20 bone mets), nil visceral metastases, PS0-1. Patients were encouraged to receive up front docetaxel. They were treated with ongoing LHRHa, pelvic radiotherapy aiming for 74Gy in 37 fractions to prostate PTV with 60Gy concomitantly delivered to pelvic nodal PTV. Concurrently, patients received radium-223, 55kBq/kg for 6 cycles q28 days; fraction 1 radiotherapy was synchronous with cycle 1 day 1 radium-223. Results: Median age was 63 years and 28 (93%) received at least 4 cycles of docetaxel. One patient received prostate only radiotherapy due to bowel constraints. Three patients had cycle 6 radium-223 omitted. At a median follow-up of 28 months, there have been 415 Adverse events, (3% Grade >3), and 6 serious adverse events (SAEs) ( 2 episodes of UTI, 1 each of cystitis non-infective, cardiac chest pain, pyrexia and AKI). Commonest AEs by number were: leucopenia, neutropenia, and diarrhoea. Ten SSE’s have occurred including 8 courses of palliative radiotherapy for bone pain, 1 course of radiotherapy for impending MSCC and 1 pathological fracture. At median follow up 28.0 months, median biochemical PFS is 17.9 months, median OS not yet reached. Conclusions: This trial shows clear tolerability and promising early efficacy data requiring further exploration in a randomised phase 3 trial. Clinical trial information: 2014-000273-39.

Abstract BACKGROUND Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most lethal pediatric brain tumor. Median overall survival (OS) with standard of care radiation therapy (RT) is approximately 8-10 months and 2-year survival is < 10%. A Phase 1 single-center study was conducted to evaluate the oncolytic adenovirus, DNX-2401 (tasadenoturev), followed by RT for DIPG. METHODS Newly-diagnosed DIPG patients 1-18 years old received a tumor biopsy through the cerebellar peduncle followed by intratumoral injection of 1e10 – 5e10 vp DNX-2401 and conventional RT 1-3 weeks later. RESULTS Subjects were enrolled (n=12) from December 2017 to January 2020 and had a median age of 9 years (range 3-18) and Lansky/Karnofsky performance scores of 90-100 (n=4; 33%) or 70-80 (n=8; 67%). Genetic assessment was completed for 11 subjects (92%) and histone 3 K27M mutations were identified in 10 subjects, including H3F3A (n=8), HIST2H3C (n=1), and HIST1H3B (n=1); 1 subject was H3 wildtype (n=1). TP53 mutations were identified in 5 subjects (42%). DNX-2401 was administered followed by RT (n=11; 92%). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed and the treatment regimen was well-tolerated. The most commonly reported adverse events (≥ 5 subjects), regardless of study drug relationship, include asthenia, headache, vomiting, pyrexia, and neurological deterioration. Three serious adverse events were reported including grade 3 abdominal pain, grade 3 lymphopenia, and grade 3 clinical deterioration. Tumor reductions were reported for 9 subjects (75%), including 2 confirmed (17%) and 2 unconfirmed (17%) responses per RAPNO criteria. As of the data cutoff, median OS is 19.7 months and OS-24 is 32% with follow-up ongoing for 3 subjects (26.9, 25.6, 13.7 months). CONCLUSIONS DNX-2401 followed by RT can be safely administered to DIPG. Survival outcomes are encouraging, thus warranting further evaluation in a Phase 2 study.

Cartilage Restoration

Background: There is currently no optimal method for cartilage restoration in large, full-thickness cartilage defects in older patients. Purpose: To determine whether implantation of a composite of allogeneic umbilical cord blood–derived mesenchymal stem cells and 4% hyaluronate (UCB-MSC-HA) will result in reliable cartilage restoration in patients with large, full-thickness cartilage defects and whether any clinical improvements can be maintained up to 5 years postoperatively. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 1. Methods: A randomized controlled phase 3 clinical trial was conducted for 48 weeks, and the participants then underwent extended 5-year observational follow-up. Enrolled were patients with large, full-thickness cartilage defects (International Cartilage Repair Society [ICRS] grade 4) in a single compartment of the knee joint, as confirmed by arthroscopy. The defect was treated either with UCB-MSC-HA implantation through mini-arthrotomy or with microfracture. The primary outcome was proportion of participants who improved by ≥1 grade on the ICRS Macroscopic Cartilage Repair Assessment (blinded evaluation) at 48-week arthroscopy. Secondary outcomes included histologic assessment; changes in pain visual analog scale (VAS) score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score from baseline; and adverse events. Results: Among 114 randomized participants (mean age, 55.9 years; 67% female; body mass index, 26.2 kg/m2), 89 completed the phase 3 clinical trial and 73 were enrolled in the 5-year follow-up study. The mean defect size was 4.9 cm2 in the UCB-MSC-HA group and 4.0 cm2 in the microfracture group ( P = .051). At 48 weeks, improvement by ≥1 ICRS grade was seen in 97.7% of the UCB-MSC-HA group versus 71.7% of the microfracture group ( P = .001); the overall histologic assessment score was also superior in the UCB-MSC-HA group ( P = .036). Improvement in VAS pain, WOMAC, and IKDC scores were not significantly different between the groups at 48 weeks, however the clinical results were significantly better in the UCB-MSC-HA group at 3- to 5-year follow-up ( P < .05). There were no differences between the groups in adverse events. Conclusion: In older patients with symptomatic, large, full-thickness cartilage defects with or without osteoarthritis, UCB-MSC-HA implantation resulted in improved cartilage grade at second-look arthroscopy and provided more improvement in pain and function up to 5 years compared with microfracture.
