We evaluated the arginine-depleting enzyme pegargiminase (ADI-PEG20; ADI) with pemetrexed (Pem) and cisplatin (Cis) (ADIPemCis) in ASS1-deficient non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) via a phase 1 dose-expansion trial with exploratory biomarker analysis.
Sixty-seven chemonaïve patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were screened, enrolling 21 ASS1-deficient subjects from March 2015 to July 2017 onto weekly pegargiminase (36 mg/m ) with Pem (500 mg/m ) and Cis (75 mg/m ), every 3 weeks (four cycles maximum), with maintenance Pem or pegargiminase. Safety, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and efficacy were determined; molecular biomarkers were annotated by next-generation sequencing and PD-L1 immunohistochemistry.
ADIPemCis was well-tolerated. Plasma arginine and citrulline were differentially modulated; pegargiminase antibodies plateaued by week 10. The disease control rate was 85.7% (n = 18/21; 95% CI 63.7%-97%), with a partial response rate of 47.6% (n = 10/21; 95% CI 25.7%-70.2%). The median progression-free and overall survivals were 4.2 (95% CI 2.9-4.8) and 7.2 (95% CI 5.1-18.4) months, respectively. Two PD-L1-expressing (≥1%) patients are alive following subsequent pembrolizumab immunotherapy (9.5%). Tumoral ASS1 deficiency enriched for p53 (64.7%) mutations, and numerically worse median overall survival as compared to ASS1-proficient disease (10.2 months; n = 29). There was no apparent increase in KRAS mutations (35.3%) and PD-L1 (<1%) expression (55.6%). Re-expression of tumoral ASS1 was detected in one patient at progression (n = 1/3).
ADIPemCis was safe and highly active in patients with ASS1-deficient non-squamous NSCLC, however, survival was poor overall. ASS1 loss was co-associated with p53 mutations. Therapies incorporating pegargiminase merit further evaluation in ASS1-deficient and treatment-refractory NSCLC.
我们通过一项包含探索性生物标志物分析的 1 期剂量扩展试验,评估了精氨酸耗竭酶聚乙二醇化天冬酰胺酶(ADI-PEG20;ADI)联合培美曲塞(Pem)和顺铂(Cis)(ADIPemCis)在 ASS1 缺陷型非鳞状非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中的作用。
67 例未经化疗的晚期非鳞状 NSCLC 患者接受了筛选,其中 21 例 ASS1 缺陷患者于 2015 年 3 月至 2017 年 7 月入组,接受每周一次的 PEG (36mg/m2)联合培美曲塞(500mg/m2)和顺铂(75mg/m2)治疗,每 3 周(最多 4 个周期)为一个疗程,随后接受培美曲塞或 PEG 维持治疗。评估了安全性、药代动力学、免疫原性和疗效;通过下一代测序和 PD-L1 免疫组化对分子生物标志物进行注释。
ADIPemCis 具有良好的耐受性。血浆精氨酸和瓜氨酸水平存在差异,PEG 抗体在第 10 周达到平台期。疾病控制率为 85.7%(21/25;95%CI 63.7%-97%),部分缓解率为 47.6%(21/25;95%CI 25.7%-70.2%)。中位无进展生存期和总生存期分别为 4.2(95%CI 2.9-4.8)和 7.2(95%CI 5.1-18.4)个月。两名 PD-L1 表达阳性(≥1%)的患者接受了帕博利珠单抗免疫治疗后仍存活(9.5%)。肿瘤 ASS1 缺陷患者中 p53(64.7%)突变更为富集,与 ASS1 功能正常的疾病相比,中位总生存期更差(10.2 个月;n=29)。KRAS 突变(35.3%)和 PD-L1(<1%)表达无明显增加。在一名进展患者(n=3)中检测到肿瘤 ASS1 的重新表达。
ADIPemCis 在 ASS1 缺陷型非鳞状 NSCLC 患者中安全且具有高度活性,但总体生存情况较差。ASS1 缺失与 p53 突变相关。包含 PEG 的治疗方案值得在 ASS1 缺陷和治疗耐药的 NSCLC 中进一步评估。
