ObjectivesTo determine the safety, tolerability and signs of efficacy of MOR103, a human monoclonal antibody to granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsPatients with active, moderate RA were enrolled in a randomised, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial of intravenous MOR103 (0.3, 1.0 or 1.5 mg/kg) once a week for 4 weeks, with follow-up to 16 weeks. The primary outcome was safety.ResultsOf the 96 randomised and treated subjects, 85 completed the trial (n=27, 24, 22 and 23 for pooled placebo and MOR103 0.3, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg, respectively). Treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) in the MOR103 groups were mild or moderate in intensity and generally reported at frequencies similar to those in the placebo group. The most common AE was nasopharyngitis. In two cases, AEs were classified as serious because of hospitalisation: paronychia in a placebo subject and pleurisy in a MOR103 0.3 mg/kg subject. Both patients recovered fully. In exploratory efficacy analyses, subjects in the MOR103 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg groups showed significant improvements in Disease Activity Score-28 scores and joint counts and significantly higher European League Against Rheumatism response rates than subjects receiving placebo. MOR103 1.0 mg/kg was associated with the largest reductions in disease activity parameters.ConclusionsMOR103 was well tolerated and showed preliminary evidence of efficacy in patients with active RA. The data support further investigation of this monoclonal antibody to GM-CSF in RA patients and potentially in those with other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.Trial registration numberNCT01023256

Mavrilimumab (formerly CAM-3001) is a high-affinity, immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) against the granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor-α chain. Phase I and II trials in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with mavrilimumab have shown encouraging results with respect to both safety and efficacy. No significant adverse events have so far been noted. The trials have demonstrated significant clinical benefit, meeting primary endpoints. Furthermore, for RA patients treated with mavrilimumab, who were tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor-inadequate responders, there are encouraging preliminary data indicating benefit and identifying potential biomarkers predictive of patients likely to find benefit. Here, we review the clinical trial data for mavrilimumab and discuss its potential as a treatment for RA in light of the competitive landscape in which it resides.

Purpose Anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has shown efficacy against neuroblastoma (NB). Prognostic variables that could influence clinical outcome were explored. Patients and Methods One hundred sixty-nine children diagnosed with stage 4 NB (1988 to 2008) were enrolled onto consecutive anti-GD2 murine MoAb 3F8 ± GM-CSF ± 13-cis-retinoic acid (CRA) protocols after achieving first remission (complete remission/very good partial remission). Patients enrolled in regimen A (n = 43 high-risk [HR] patients) received 3F8 alone; regimen B (n = 41 HR patients), 3F8 + intravenous GM-CSF + CRA, after stem-cell transplantation (SCT); and regimen C (n = 85), 3F8 + subcutaneous GM-CSF + CRA, 46 of 85 after SCT, whereas 28 of 85 required additional induction therapy and were deemed ultra high risk (UHR). Marrow minimal residual disease (MRD) was measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Survival probability was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and prognostic variables were analyzed by multivariate Cox regression model. Results At 5 years from the start of immunotherapy, progression-free survival (PFS) improved from 44% for HR patients receiving regimen A to 56% and 62% for those receiving regimens B and C, respectively. Overall survival (OS) was 49%, 61%, and 81%, respectively. PFS and OS of UHR patients were 36% and 75%, respectively. Relapse was mostly at isolated sites. Independent adverse prognostic factors included UHR (PFS) and post–cycle two MRD (PFS and OS), whereas the prognostic factors for improved outcome were missing killer immunoglobulin-like receptor ligand (PFS and OS), human antimouse antibody response (OS), and regimen C (OS). Conclusion Retrospective analysis of consecutive trials from a single center demonstrated that MoAb 3F8 + GM-CSF + CRA is effective against chemotherapy-resistant marrow MRD. Its positive impact on long-term survival can only be confirmed definitively by randomized studies.

PURPOSE: To describe oncolytic effects of treatment with anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody 3F8 plus granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in patients with neuroblastoma (NB). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were eligible for 3F8/GM-CSF if intensive therapy had not eradicated potentially lethal NB. One cycle consisted of GM-CSF (subcutaneous bolus) on days 1 through 5, 11, and 12, and GM-CSF (2-hour intravenous [IV] infusion) followed after a 1-hour interval by 3F8 (1.5-hour IV infusion) on days 6 through 10 and 13 through 17. GM-CSF was dosed at 250 μg/m2/d on days 1 through 7 and at 500 μg/m2/d on days 8 through 17. 3F8 was dosed at 10 mg/m2/d (100 mg/m2/cycle). 3F8 was given with an opiate and an antihistamine. Patients without progressive disease (PD) or elevated human antimouse antibody titers could be treated again beginning 3 weeks after completion of a cycle. RESULTS: Among 19 patients treated for NB resistant to induction therapy, 12 of 15 had complete remission (CR) of bone marrow (BM) disease, and three others who had less than partial responses achieved prolonged progression-free survival (one remains on study at 21+ months, two had PD at 12 and 17 months). Among patients treated for recurrent NB resistant to retrieval therapy, five of 10 had CR in BM. The 15 patients treated for PD fared poorly, although two had scintigraphic findings suggestive of a short-term response. Side effects were limited to readily manageable pain and, less commonly, rash of short duration; hence, patients were treated as outpatients. CONCLUSION: 3F8/GM-CSF is well tolerated and shows promise for treatment of minimal residual NB in BM.

Purpose Adjuvant therapy using anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has shown treatment success for patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB). Although there is ample evidence on how the antibody targets NB, in vivo contribution by GM-CSF remains unclear. This report investigates granulocyte activation and its correlation with treatment outcome. Patients and Methods Patients enrolled onto NCT00072358 received multiple treatment cycles, each consisting of anti-GD2 antibody 3F8 plus subcutaneous (SC) GM-CSF. Peripheral-blood (PB) samples from 151 patients were collected on day 0 and day 4 of cycle 1. PB from a subgroup of 35 patients had intravenous (IV) instead of SC GM-CSF during cycle 4. Samples were analyzed by flow cytometry for CD11a, CD63, CD87, and CD11b and its activation epitope CBRM1/5. Results Comparing cycle 1 day 4 PB samples with day 0 PB samples, five of five activation marker–positive granulocytes were significantly higher. The change in frequency and mean fluorescence intensity of CBRM1/5-positive granulocytes correlated with progression-free survival (PFS; P = .024 and P = .008, respectively). A multivariable analysis identified increasing CBRM1/5-positive granulocytes and missing killer immunoglobulin-like receptor ligand as positive independent prognostic factors for PFS, whereas second-line cyclophosphamide-based therapy before protocol entry negatively influenced outcome. Thirty-five patients who received SC GM-CSF at cycle 1 and IV GM-CSF at cycle 4 had significantly less CBRM1/5 activation after IV GM-CSF. In contrast, 63 patients who received SC GM-CSF at both cycles had comparable CBRM1/5 activation. Conclusion GM-CSF–induced granulocyte activation in vivo is associated with improved patient outcome. This activation was more apparent when GM-CSF was given by the SC route instead of IV route.
