Background

Patients with unresectable or recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer who have disease progression after standard therapy have few treatment options and represent an important, unmet medical need. Nasopharyngeal cancer is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and has been reported to have high concentrations of PD-L1 expression and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, which indicate a potential implication of PD-1 blockade in the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. JS001, a humanised recombinant IgG4 antibody against PD-1, selectively blocks the interactions of PD-1, with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, and promotes antigen-specific T-cell activation. Results of a phase 1 study of JS001 treatment in Chinese patients with heavily pretreated solid tumours have shown an acceptable safety profile in doses up to 10 mg/kg once every 2 weeks until progressive disease, intolerance, withdrawal of consent, or investigator decision. Here we report the safety and efficacy of JS001 in a phase 1b/2 clinical study.

Methods

We did this open-label, phase 1b/2, clinical study in Chinese patients with refractory or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer received JS001 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients with measurable disease were assessed for clinical response every 8 weeks according to the immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (iRECIST) criteria. Tumour PD-L1 expression, plasma EBV DNA concentration, and additional potential predictive biomarkers were monitored for correlation with clinical response. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials, number NCT02915432.

Findings

Between Dec 29, 2016, and June 19, 2017, we enrolled 48 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer. Of 23 evaluable patients, the median age was 46 years (range 33–70), 81% were male, and EBV serology tested positive in 92%. Adverse events occurred in 46 (96%) of 48 patients, which were mostly grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 and worse adverse events occurred in 17 patients (35%), including abnormal liver function (n=6, 13%), dysphagia (n=2, 4%), and pulmonary infection (n=2, 4%). Rapid and deep clinical responses were observed. Seven patients (15%) had partial responses while ten patients (21%) achieved stable disease, with the proportion of patients who achieved an objective response of 30% and a disease control of 73%. The responses seemed unrelated to PD-L1 expression status on tumour biopsy.

Interpretation

JS001 treatment has shown good clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients with nasopharyngeal cancer and a manageable safety profile. We plan to enrol 54 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer to further monitor the safety and efficacy of JS001 treatment.

Background

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for unresectable stage III non-small lung cancer, with frequently unsatisfactory results. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) to concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Methods

We did this prospective, phase 2 study (HELPER) in patients with inoperable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th edn staging system) with an E performance score of 0–2; diagnoses were made on the basis of pathology or cytology results. All enrolled patients received thoracic radiation at doses of 60–66 Gy and continuous intravenous infusions of Endostar (7·5 mg/m2 per 24h, 120 h continuously, 120 h per cycle; from day ?5 to day ?1, days 10–13, days 24–28, and days 38–42). Additionally, patients received two cycles of etoposide (50 mg/m2; days 1–5 and days 29–33) plus cisplatin (50 mg/m2; day 1, 8, 29, and 36). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival and the secondary endpoints were objective response, overall survival, local recurrence-free survival, and toxicities.

Findings

From November, 2012, to June, 2015, 73 patients were enrolled and 67 patients were evaluable. 56 patients were male and 11 patients were female. The median age was 59 years (range 31–69). Most patients (44, 66%) had squamous cell carcinoma. 27 patients (40%) had stage IIIa disease, and 40 (60%) had stage IIIb disease. Severe adverse events were observed in two patients (one had massive haemoptysis and one had pneumonia). The most common adverse event was leucopenia (96%; 45% were grade 3–4). The complete response was 12% and partial response was 64%. The median follow-up time was 37·1 months (range 20·1–52·1). The median overall survival was 34·7 months (21·9–47·4), progression-free survival was 13·3 months (5·5–21·0), and local recurrence-free survival was 27·1 months. Progression-free survival was 51% at 1 year, 35% at 2 years, and 28% at 3 years, overall survival was 82% at 1 year, 60% at 2 years, and 48% at 3 years, and local recurrence-free survival was 73% at 1 year, 55% at 2 years, and 50% at 3 years.

Interpretation

For patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, continuous intravenous human recombinant endostatin in combination with concurrent chemoradiotherapy is an effective treatment with tolerable toxicities. A phase 3 study is warranted.

Background

Patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma have poor outcomes with the available strategies. Based on the promising results seen in patients treated with anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, we initiated a phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy in patients. Autologous T cells were genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor consisting of an anti-CD19-scFv domain with CD3ζ and 4–1BB signalling domains.

Methods

We did this phase 1 study in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Peking University Cancer Hospital, Beijing, China. Patients received a CAR T-cell infusion after a conditioning regimen of cyclophosphamide (250 mg/m2) and fludarabine (25 mg/m2) daily for 3 days. Three CAR T cell doses were tested: 5?×?104 CAR T cells/kg, 1?×?105 CAR T cells/kg, and 1?×?106 CAR T cells/kg. Primary endpoints included safety and pharmacokinetics of CAR T cells. Secondary endpoints include complete response, overall response, and duration of response per International Working Group Criteria. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials, number NCT02842138.

Findings

As of March 2017, 14 patients were enrolled and ten patients, with a median age of 37 years (range 24–68) underwent response evaluation. Of the ten evaluable patients, four were women, six were men, three had follicular lymphoma, and seven had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The median number of previous therapies was 2·5 (range 2–7). The first group of three patients (two with follicular lymphoma and one with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) received 5?×?104 CAR T cells/kg. Two patients with follicular lymphoma achieved partial remission on day 28, and one of these patients achieved complete remission 3 months later. The second group of three patients (one with follicular lymphoma and two with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) received 1?×?105 CAR T cells/kg. The patient with follicular lymphoma achieved partial remission on day 28. The last group of four patients (all were diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) received 1?×?106 CAR T cells/kg. Three patients (75%) achieved partial remission on day 28. One patient attained progressive disease on day 28, and died 10 days later due to disease progression. A significant CAR T-cell expansion was detected in this case. On day 26, 26·8% of the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells were CAR T cells. PD1 expression was significant in her expanded CAR T cells. 78·3% of CD8-positive CAR T cells and 71·4% of CD4-positive CAR T cells expressed PD1 on day 26, as compared with 22% and 42% on day 13, respectively in the same patient. Increased PD1-expressing CAR T cells were also found in other patients' peripheral blood. No serious adverse event was observed in any patient. Two patients had mild fever (grade 1–2). In-vivo expansion of CAR T cells was detected in all patients between day 14–28. All responding patients were still in remission at the last follow-up (range 2·5–9·0 months).

Interpretation

This study demonstrated early promising activity of anti-CD19 CAR T cells in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The toxicities of cytokine release syndrome were mild and manageable. Our study also provided the first clinical evidence that expanded CAR T cells could express PD1. Blocking PD1 pathway might enhance the effector function of CAR T cells and improve the clinical outcomes of CAR T-cell therapy.

Background

We aimed to investigate a new treatment method for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The method was a cellular immune therapy based on personalised peptide vaccination (PPV-DC-CTL) combined with radiotherapy.

Methods

We did a phase 1 study in which patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who were not eligible for surgery, as confirmed by multidisciplinary consultation, were treated with precise radiotherapy combined with PPV-DC-CTL in the Comprehensive Cancer Centre of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing, China. To personalise the vaccine, the peptide candidate library, including mutated peptides and highly expressed peptides, was established according to the gene mutation and expression spectra of hepatocellular carcinoma and previous studies about PPV. Peptides for vaccination of every patient were selected from the peptide candidate library, with the consideration of the pre-existing immunity of the host before vaccination. The assay of peptide-specific IFN-γ production was used to define pre-existing immunity. Side-effects were measured with a haemogram. This study is registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, number ChiCTR-OIC-16010025.

Findings

A total of nine patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma were admitted. Four patients had multiple liver metastases (liver lesions more than three pieces), one patient had liver metastasis and portal vein tumour thrombosis, one patient had lung and bone metastases, two patients had liver and lung metastases, and one patient had liver metastasis and peritoneal metastasis. Following radiotherapy and 1–3 cycles of PPV-DC-CTL treatment, AFP concentrations were significantly reduced in six patients compared with baseline concentrations, and imaging assessment of the lesions showed a partial response in three of the patients and stable disease in the other three patients. An objective response was achieved in 33% and disease control in 66%. This regimen was found to be safe and well tolerated because none of the patients developed liver or kidney side-effects. Only one patient developed grade 2 bone marrow suppression, and the other patients had no significant side-effects.

Interpretation

Radiotherapy combined with PPV-DC-CTL provides a new therapeutic strategy for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, which is well tolerated, safe, feasible, and effective.

Background

Anlotinib hydrochloride, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, and c-kit, showed promising efficacy in a phase 2 study. Here, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of anlotinib as third-line treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Methods

We did a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial (ALTER-0303) at 31 sites. Eligible patients with stage 3B/4 non-small-cell lung cancer who progressed after at least two lines of previous therapies were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive anlotinib (12 mg once a day from day 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle) or placebo until progression or intolerable toxicity. Enrolled patients harbouring EGFR or ALK mutations must have failed in previous match-targeted therapies. The primary endpoint was overall survival. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials, number NCT02388919.

Findings

Between February, 2015, and August, 2016, we randomly assigned 437 patients. The baseline characteristics of the anlotinib group (n=294) and placebo group (n=143) were well balanced in age, gender, ECOG performance status, and gene status. With 292 overall survival events (67%), a significant improvement in overall survival was observed in the anlotinib group compared with the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·68, 95% CI 0·54–0·87 p=0·0018), according to investigator-assessed results (table).

Interpretation

The ALTER-0303 trial met its primary endpoint; anlotinib significantly improved overall survival in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with a manageable safety profile. The results strongly suggest that anlotinib should be considered as a candidate for the third-line treatment or beyond in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
