In resectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) confers improved survival, but limited benefit from chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may eliminate the need for chemotherapy or surgery.
INFINITY is a multicenter, multicohort phase II trial (NCT04817826) investigating in cohort 1 the activity and safety of tremelimumab + durvalumab (T300/D) as neoadjuvant treatment of mismatch repair deficient/MSI-H, resectable gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR) rate; Secondary endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), quality of life, and translational analyses. In cohort 2, the activity and safety of T300/D was explored as definitive treatment in patients achieving clinical complete response (cCR). Primary endpoint was 2-year cCR rate, and secondary endpoints were PFS, OS, quality of life, gastrectomy-free survival and translational analyses.
In cohort 1, 18 patients were recruited and 15 evaluable. pCR and major pathologic response-pCR were 60% and 80%, respectively. Since pCR rate in T4 tumors was 17%, this subgroup of patients was excluded from enrollment in cohort 2. At 28.1 months median follow-up, 24-month gastric cancer-specific PFS and OS rates were 85% and 92%, respectively. In cohort 2, 18 patients were enrolled and 17 assessable, and 13 had cCR and started non-operative management. At 11.5 months median follow-up, one patient had local regrowth and underwent salvage surgery; 12-month gastrectomy-free survival was 64.2%.
The INFINITY study provided promising activity results of a chemo-free T300/D combination regimen as preoperative treatment in mismatch repair deficient/MSI gastric/gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and the first available feasibility results of a non-operative management strategy in this disease setting, worthy of further validation in larger cohorts.
在可切除的胃/胃食管交界腺癌中,微卫星高度不稳定(MSI-H)可改善生存,但化疗获益有限。免疫疗法可能无需化疗或手术。
INFINITY是一项多中心、多队列的II期试验(NCT04817826),在队列1中研究替雷利珠单抗+度伐利尤单抗(T300/D)作为错配修复缺陷/MSI-H、可切除胃/胃食管交界腺癌新辅助治疗的活性和安全性。主要终点是病理完全缓解(pCR)率;次要终点:无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)、生活质量和转化分析。在队列2中,探索T300/D作为实现临床完全缓解(cCR)患者的确定性治疗的活性和安全性。主要终点是2年cCR率,次要终点是PFS、OS、生活质量、无胃切除术生存期和转化分析。
在队列1中,招募了18例患者,15例可评估。pCR和主要病理反应-pCR分别为60%和80%。由于T4肿瘤的pCR率为17%,该亚组患者被排除在队列2的入组之外。在中位随访28.1个月时,24个月的胃癌特异性PFS和OS率分别为85%和92%。在队列2中,招募了18例患者,17例可评估,13例有cCR并开始非手术治疗。在中位随访11.5个月时,1例患者出现局部复发并接受挽救性手术;12个月的无胃切除术生存期为64.2%。
INFINITY研究提供了有前景的活性结果,即T300/D联合方案作为术前治疗在错配修复缺陷/MSI胃/胃食管交界腺癌中的应用,以及在该疾病背景下非手术治疗策略的首个可行性结果,值得在更大队列中进一步验证。
