Current state of the art

  • Several immunotherapy agents are now in phase

III trials ▫ 1 just completed its accrual, another one is expected to finish in 6 months

  • Increased interest after approval of sipuleucel-T

and ipilimumab

  • Patients LOVE this studies.

▫ No problems completing accrual

Immunotherapeutic strategies

  • Non specific immune stimulants

▫ Talactoferrin ▫ Toll like receptor agonists  Cadi-05 (TRL2 agonist) ▫ Anti CTL4 antibodies.  Ipilimumab

Slide 16

Measuring response –a holy grail of clinical trials

  • WHO, RECIST, RECIST 1.1 assume that

decrease in the tumor size is an evidence of activity of anticancer agent.

  • Immunotherapy agents do not obey those rules.

Slide 19

Cancer Vaccine Clinical Trial Working Group (CVCTWG)

 Appearance of measurable clinical activity may take longer for immunotherapeutics  Responses can occur after conventional RECIST defined progression  Discontinuation of vaccine therapy might not be appropriate for some progressive patients unless the progression is confirmed.  Durable stable disease may represent clinical benefit

Slide 22

Summary of irRC

  • Appearance of new lesions no longer automatically

signifies progression as in WHO.

▫ unless they add to a tumor burden by at least 25%

  • If patient is classified as irPD confirmation of

progression is required.

▫ Confirmation is done at the discretion of investigator in the context

  • f tumor type, patient overall clinical status
  • The new response patterns appear to be clinically

meaningful as they correlate with improved outcomes.

  • Further confirmation of irRC is needed in the

prospective clinical trials

▫ They are not ready for wide acceptance ▫ AND they are not accepted by FDA on immune studies.

Ipilimumab (Ipi)

  • Fully human monoclonal anti CTLA4 antibody

▫ CTLA4 inhibits anti-tumor immunity. ▫ Blocking CTLA4 potentiates T cells

  • Improves survival in metastatic melanoma
  • Serious, potentially life threatening immune toxicities

▫ Colitis, dermatitis, hepatitis, neuritis. ▫ Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of those management is required.

Study design

  • Objectives:

▫ To evaluate safety and efficacy of ipilimumab in combination with chemotherapy ▫ Primary endpoint irPFS

▫ Evaluate 2 different schedules

 Tumor antigen present before Ipi started (aka give chemotherapy first for 2 cycles)  Ipi started at the same time as chemotherapy.

  • Key inclusion criteria

▫ Chemotherapy naïve patients with ECOG 0-1 without brain metastases or autoimmune disease

  • Response evaluated by both WHO and irRC

What have we learned over the years

  • Developing immunotherapies is not the same as developing

cytotoxics ▫ Responses take longer ▫ “resist RECIST”

  • Lower bulk tumors could derive more benefit
  • Generally not toxic
  • Stay tuned for results of phase III trials

▫ MAGRIT  Resected I-III ▫ START and INSPIRE  unresectable treated IIIB (locoregional) ▫ STOP  Treated advanced IIIA  Unresectable treated IIIB  Controlled IV
