PURPOSE: Agents targeting programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) or its ligand (PD-L1) have shown antitumor activity in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The aim of this study was to assess the activity of avelumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, in patients with MBC. METHODS: In a phase 1 trial (JAVELIN Solid Tumor; NCT01772004), patients with MBC refractory to or progressing after standard-of-care therapy received avelumab intravenously 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Tumors were assessed every 6 weeks by RECIST v1.1. Adverse events (AEs) were graded by NCI-CTCAE v4.0. Membrane PD-L1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry (Dako PD-L1 IHC 73-10 pharmDx). RESULTS: A total of 168 patients with MBC, including 58 patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), were treated with avelumab for 2-50 weeks and followed for 6-15 months. Patients were heavily pretreated with a median of three prior therapies for metastatic or locally advanced disease. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related AEs occurred in 13.7% of patients, including two treatment-related deaths. The confirmed objective response rate (ORR) was 3.0% overall (one complete response and four partial responses) and 5.2% in patients with TNBC. A trend toward a higher ORR was seen in patients with PD-L1+ versus PD-L1- tumor-associated immune cells in the overall population (16.7% vs. 1.6%) and in the TNBC subgroup (22.2% vs. 2.6%). CONCLUSION: Avelumab showed an acceptable safety profile and clinical activity in a subset of patients with MBC. PD-L1 expression in tumor-associated immune cells may be associated with a higher probability of clinical response to avelumab in MBC.
目的:靶向程序性死亡受体 1(PD-1)或其配体(PD-L1)的药物在转移性乳腺癌(MBC)的治疗中显示出抗肿瘤活性。本研究旨在评估 PD-L1 抑制剂avelumab 在 MBC 患者中的活性。
方法:在一项 I 期试验(JAVELIN Solid Tumor;NCT01772004)中,对标准治疗后进展或耐药的 MBC 患者静脉注射avelumab,剂量为 10mg/kg,每 2 周 1 次。每 6 周通过 RECIST v1.1 评估肿瘤。不良事件(AE)根据 NCI-CTCAE v4.0 分级。通过免疫组化(Dako PD-L1 IHC 73-10 pharmDx)评估膜 PD-L1 表达。
结果:共 168 例 MBC 患者接受 avelumab 治疗,其中 58 例为三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)患者,治疗时间为 2-50 周,随访时间为 6-15 个月。患者在转移性或局部晚期疾病中接受了中位数为三种的前期治疗。13.7%的患者发生了≥3 级治疗相关的 AE,包括 2 例治疗相关死亡。总体客观缓解率(ORR)为 3.0%(1 例完全缓解和 4 例部分缓解),TNBC 患者为 5.2%。在总体人群中,PD-L1+肿瘤相关免疫细胞患者的 ORR 较高(16.7%比 1.6%),在 TNBC 亚组中,ORR 较高(22.2%比 2.6%)。
结论:avelumab 在 MBC 的部分患者中显示出可接受的安全性和临床活性。肿瘤相关免疫细胞中的 PD-L1 表达可能与 MBC 患者对 avelumab 更高的临床反应概率相关。
