Mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) is an inflamed phenotype with poor outcomes when meeting high-risk criteria and limited treatment options in the adjuvant setting. We report protocol-prespecified subgroup analysis of patients with dMMR tumors from the phase III ENGOT-en11/GOG-3053/KEYNOTE-B21 study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04634877) in newly diagnosed, high-risk EC after surgery with curative intent. Patients were randomly assigned to pembrolizumab 200 mg or placebo (six cycles) plus carboplatin-paclitaxel (four to six cycles) once every 3 weeks, then pembrolizumab 400 mg or placebo once every 6 weeks (six cycles), respectively. MMR status was a stratification factor. Patients received radiotherapy at investigator discretion. Investigator-assessed disease-free survival (DFS) was a primary end point. No formal hypothesis testing was performed for subgroup analysis. In the intention-to-treat population, 141 patients in the pembrolizumab arm and 140 in the placebo arm had dMMR tumors. At this interim analysis, hazard ratio for DFS favored pembrolizumab (0.31 [95% CI, 0.14 to 0.69]); median DFS was not reached in either group. Two-year DFS rates were 92.4% (95% CI, 84.4 to 96.4) and 80.2% (95% CI, 70.8 to 86.9), respectively. No new safety signals occurred. Longer-term follow-up of outcomes will be evaluated at final analysis. Preplanned subgroup analysis on the basis of the study's stratification factors suggests that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy improves DFS and is clinically relevant for patients with dMMR tumors in the curative-intent setting.

BACKGROUND: In the ARIEL4 trial of rucaparib versus standard-of-care chemotherapy in patients with relapsed BRCA-mutated ovarian carcinoma, the primary endpoint was met, showing improved investigator-assessed progression-free survival with rucaparib. Here, we present the final overall survival analysis of the trial and other post-progression outcomes. METHODS: This open-label, randomised, controlled phase 3 trial was done at 64 hospitals and cancer centres in 12 countries, including Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, the UK, and the USA. Eligible patients were women aged 18 or older with BRCA1 or BRCA2-mutated ovarian carcinoma and had received at least two previous chemotherapy regimens. Patients had to have evaluable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST; version 1.1) criteria and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) using an interactive response technology and block randomisation (block size of six) and stratified by progression-free interval after the most recent platinum-containing therapy to receive oral rucaparib (600 mg twice daily administered in 28-day cycles) or chemotherapy on the basis of platinum-sensitivity status. In the chemotherapy group, patients with platinum-resistant disease (progression-free interval ≥1 to <6 months) or partially platinum-sensitive disease (progression-free interval ≥6 to <12 months) received weekly paclitaxel (starting dose 60-80 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15). Patients with fully platinum-sensitive disease (progression-free interval ≥12 months) received the investigator's choice of platinum-based chemotherapy (single-agent cisplatin or carboplatin, or platinum-doublet chemotherapy), in 21-day or 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint (previously reported) was investigator-assessed progression-free survival, assessed in the efficacy population (all randomly assigned patients with deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations without reversion mutations) and in the intention-to-treat population (all randomly assigned patients). Overall survival was a prespecified secondary endpoint and was analysed in the intention-to-treat population. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of assigned study treatment. The cutoff date was April 10, 2022. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02855944; enrolment is complete and the study is closed. FINDINGS: Between March 1, 2017, and Sept 24, 2020, 349 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive rucaparib (n=233) or chemotherapy (n=116). 332 (95%) of 349 patients were white and 17 (5%) patients were other or of unknown race. In the chemotherapy group, 80 (69%) of 116 patients crossed over to receive rucaparib. Median follow-up was 41·2 months (IQR 37·8-44·6). At data cutoff for this final analysis (April 10, 2022), 244 (70%) of 349 patients had died: 167 (72%) of 233 in the rucaparib group and 77 (66%) of 116 in the rucaparib group. Median overall survival was 19·4 months (95% CI 15·2-23·6) in the rucaparib group versus 25·4 months (21·4-27·6) in the chemotherapy group (hazard ratio 1·3 [95% CI 1·0-1·7], p=0·047). No new safety signals were observed, including during crossover to rucaparib. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events across treatment groups included anaemia or decreased haemoglobin (reported in 59 [25%] of 232 patients in the rucaparib group and seven [6%] of 113 in the chemotherapy group), and neutropenia or decreased neutrophil count (in 26 [11%] of 232 in the rucaparib group and 16 [14%] of 113 patients in the chemotherapy group). Serious adverse events were reported in 66 (28%) of 232 patients in the rucaparib group and 14 (12%) of 113 patients in the chemotherapy group. Ten treatment-related deaths were reported in the rucaparib group, two of which were linked to judged to be related to rucaparib (cardiac disorder and myelodysplastic syndrome), and one death related to treatment was reported in the chemotherapy group, with no specific cause linked to the treatment. INTERPRETATION: These data highlight the need for a better understanding of the most appropriate treatment for patients who have progressed on a poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, and the optimal sequencing of chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors in advanced ovarian cancer.

PURPOSE: Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that disrupt processes critical for cancer cell viability and tumor progression. The pivotal, phase 3 ENGOT-ov50/GOG-3029/INNOVATE-3 study evaluated efficacy and safety of TTFields therapy with paclitaxel (PTX) vs PTX in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adult patients with PROC with ≤ 5 total prior lines of therapy (LOT), including ≤ 2 prior LOT for platinum-resistant disease, and ECOG PS of 0-1 were randomized 1:1 to receive TTFields (200 kHz; ≥ 18 h/day) + PTX (80 mg/m2 weekly) or PTX. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Exploratory post-hoc analyses assessed OS in pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-naive patients. RESULTS: Between March 2019 and November 2021, 558 patients (ECOG PS 0, 60.2 %; median [range] age, 62 [22-91] years) were assigned TTFields+PTX (n = 280) or PTX (n = 278). 24.4 % had 4 + prior LOT. Median OS was 12.2 months with TTFields+PTX vs 11.9 months with PTX (HR, 1.01; 95 % CI, 0.83-1.24; p = 0.89). Grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) were similar between treatment groups. Grade 1/2 device-related skin AEs occurred in 83.6 % of patients receiving TTFields therapy. In exploratory post-hoc analysis in PLD-naive patients, median OS was 16 months with TTFields+PTX (n = 113) vs 11.7 months with PTX (n = 88; nominal HR, 0.67; 95 % CI, 0.49-0.94; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: No new safety signals were identified. TTFields+PTX did not significantly improve OS compared with PTX in the intent-to-treat population. An exploratory post-hoc analysis suggests a potentially favorable benefit-risk profile for TTFields therapy in PLD-naive patients.

PURPOSE: Patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) are virtually insensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) employed as standalone therapeutics, at least in part reflecting microenvironmental immunosuppression. Thus, conventional chemotherapeutics and targeted anticancer agents that not only mediate cytotoxic effects but also promote the recruitment of immune effector cells to the HGSOC microenvironment stand out as promising combinatorial partners for ICIs in this oncological indication. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We harnessed a variety of transcriptomic, spatial, and functional assays to characterize the differential impact of neoadjuvant paclitaxel-carboplatin on the immunological configuration of paired primary and metastatic HGSOC biopsies as compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)-naïve HGSOC samples from five independent patient cohorts. RESULTS: We found NACT-driven endoplasmic reticulum stress and calreticulin exposure in metastatic HGSOC lesions culminates with the establishment of a dense immune infiltrate including follicular T cells (TFH cells), a prerequisite for mature tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) formation. In this context, TLS maturation was associated with an increased intratumoral density of ICI-sensitive TCF1+PD1+ CD8+ T cells over their ICI-insensitive TIM-3+PD1+ counterparts. Consistent with this notion, chemotherapy coupled with a PD1-targeting ICI provided a significant survival benefit over either therapeutic approach in syngeneic models of HGSOC bearing high (but not low) tumor mutational burden. CONCLUSIONS: Altogether, our findings suggest that NACT promotes TLS formation and maturation in HGSOC lesions, de facto preserving an intratumoral ICI-sensitive T-cell phenotype. These observations emphasize the role of rational design, especially relative to the administration schedule, for clinical trials testing chemotherapy plus ICIs in patients with HGSOC.

OBJECTIVES: Part 1 of the RUBY trial (NCT03981796) demonstrated improved survival in patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) treated with dostarlimab plus carboplatin-paclitaxel versus placebo plus carboplatin-paclitaxel. Here, we examine additional efficacy and safety data from patients with mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) EC in the RUBY trial. METHODS: Patients were randomized 1:1 to dostarlimab 500 mg or placebo plus carboplatin-paclitaxel every 3 weeks for 6 cycles followed by dostarlimab or placebo every 6 weeks for up to 3 years. In the dMMR/MSI-H population of RUBY Part 1, analysis of progression-free survival by investigator assessment compared with blinded independent central review, sensitivity analyses of the source-verified population compared with the randomized population, and analysis of safety in this population were completed. RESULTS: In total, 118 patients with dMMR/MSI-H were enrolled in the RUBY trial (53, dostarlimab arm; 65, placebo arm). At the first interim analysis, a 72% reduction in the risk of progression or death (P < 0.0001) was seen with dostarlimab plus carboplatin-paclitaxel by investigator assessment per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), which was consistent with blinded independent central review per RECIST v1.1. Likewise, sensitivity analyses of the source-verified dMMR/MSI-H population compared with the randomized dMMR/MSI-H population were consistent for progression-free survival and overall survival. Safety results seen in the dMMR/MSI-H population were similar to those previously reported for the overall population. CONCLUSIONS: All primary and secondary efficacy assessments demonstrate the consistent benefit of dostarlimab plus carboplatin-paclitaxel. The improvements seen in survival and the manageable safety profile support the favorable benefit-risk profile for dostarlimab plus carboplatin-paclitaxel in patients with dMMR/MSI-H primary advanced or recurrent EC.

Metastatický duktální karcinom pankreatu (metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma – mPDAC) patří mezi maligní onemocnění s nejvyšší letalitou. Dnešní terapeutické možnosti zahrnují podle doporučení Evropské společnosti pro klinickou onkologii (ESMO) v 1. linii dublet chemoterapii gemcitabin + nab-paklitaxel (Gem/Nab-P) nebo modifikovaný režim FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) a u pacientů v horším celkovém stavu monoterapii gemcitabinem. Nepřímé srovnání základních studií s Gem/Nab-P a mFOLFIRINOX v porovnání s gemcitabinem v monoterapii (PRODIGE-4 a MPACT) naznačilo delší celkové přežití (overall survival – OS) u pacientů s mFOLFIRINOX. Je ale třeba vzít v úvahu, že do studie MPACT s Gem/Nab-P byli zařazováni pacienti s celkově horším výkonnostním stavem. Přímé porovnání těchto režimů chemoterapie chybělo. Nepřímá porovnání z reálné praxe ukazují jejich srovnatelnou účinnost z hlediska OS, přežití bez progrese i podílu léčebných odpovědí, konzistentně odlišný je profil bezpečnosti. Nedávno publikovaná studie fáze II/III GENERATE, která přímo porovnávala Gem/Nab-P a mFOLFIRINOX u nepředléčených pacientů s mPDAC, prokázala významně delší OS u pacientů léčených Gem/Nab-P přesahující 17 měsíců při nižší incidenci nehematologické toxicity. Výsledky vyvolaly na kongresu ESMO 2023 živou diskuzi. Porovnání Gem/Nab-P a mFOLFIRINOX se ve své prezentaci na konferenci PragueONCO 2024 věnoval i prof. Prager, který vyzdvihl minimálně srovnatelnou účinnost obou režimů a lepší bezpečnost Gem/Nab-P a doložil přínos Gem/Nab-P také u pacientů starších 70 let a pacientů s výkonnostním stavem (performance status – PS) podle Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS 2. Je třeba také vzít v úvahu, že volba 1. linie léčby určuje terapeutické možnosti ve 2. linii. Při aplikaci Gem/Nab-P lze dnes ve 2. linii využít pegylovaný lipozomální irinotekan (nal-IRI) v kombinaci s 5-fluorouracilem a leukovorinem (5-FU/LV), který prokázal prodloužení OS v porovnání s 5-FU/LV ve studii III. fáze NAPOLI-1. U pacientů předléčených režimem mFOLFIRINOX lze ve 2. linii využít gemcitabin nebo Gem/Nab-P. Včasné vyšetření molekulárních prediktivních parametrů umožní identifikovat případy, pro které je k dispozici vhodná cílená léčba nebo imunoterapie.

Background: Metastatic pancreatic ductal carcinoma (mPDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies. The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines recommend a gemcitabine doublet + nab-paclitaxel (Gem/Nab-P) or a modified FOLFIRINOX regimen (mFOLFIRINOX) as options for systemic chemotherapy. Gemcitabine monotherapy is an option for patients in a worse performance status (PS). Indirect comparisons of pivotal trials with Gem/Nab-P and mFOLFIRINOX vs. gemcitabine monotherapy (PRODIGE-4 and MPACT) indicated longer overall survival (OS) in patients treated with mFOLFIRINOX. However, it should be taken into account that the MPACT study with Gem/Nab-P included patients with an overall worse performance status. A direct comparison of these chemotherapy regimens was lacking. Indirect comparisons from real practice show their comparable effectiveness in terms of OS, progression-free survival and overall response rate. The safety profile is consistently different. The recently published phase II/III GENERATE trial, which directly compared Gem/Nab-P and mFOLFIRINOX in treatment-na?ve mPDAC patients, demonstrated significantly longer OS in Gem/Nab-P-treated patients exceeding 17 months with a lower incidence of non-hematologic toxicity. The results sparked a lively discussion at the ESMO 2023 Congress. The comparison of Gem/Nab-P and mFOLFIRINOX was also addressed by prof. Prager in his presentation at the PragueONCO 2024 conference. Prager, who highlighted comparable efficacy of both regimens and better safety of Gem/Nab-P and demonstrated the benefit of Gem/Nab-P also in patients older than 70 years and those with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 2. It should also be taken into account that the choice of first line treatment determines the therapeutic options in the 2nd line. If the Gem/Nab-P regimen is used in the first line, pegylated liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) in combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV) can be used in the second line. This regimen demonstrated prolongation of OS compared to 5-FU/LV in phase III study NAPOLI-1. In patients pretreated with the mFOLFIRINOX regimen, gemcitabine monotherapy or Gem/Nab-P can be used in the second line. Early examination of molecular predictive parameters will enable the identification of cases for which appropriate targeted therapy or immunotherapy is available.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is the preferred treatment option in locally advanced breast cancer (BC). The administration of NAC is associated with a wide range of adverse effects. This pilot observational prospective study examined the effect of NAC using anthracycline + cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by paclitaxel (PTx) on a portfolio of 22 plasma and urinary amino acids, plasma proteins (albumin, prealbumin, transferrin), and products of nitrogen metabolism (urea, creatinine, uric acid) in plasma and urine. Plasma and 24-h urine samples were obtained from ten patients with early breast cancer (N1-3 N0-2 M0), at the following time points: before the start of NAC and during the AC/PTx treatment period (a total of 8 measurements at three-weekly intervals). Amino acids were analyzed using ion exchange chromatography. There were no significant differences in the measured parameters in plasma and urine between pre-NAC and during AC- and PTx-treatment. No trend was detected. A significant difference in the portfolio of plasma and urinary amino acids was found only in the pre-treatment period compared to the control group. Levels of eight plasma amino acids (8/22) were significantly reduced and those of nine urine amino acids were increased (9/22). Nitrogenous catabolites in plasma and urine were not indicative of increased protein catabolism during the anthracycline and taxane treatment periods. A slightly positive nitrogen balance was accompanied by an average weight gain of 3.3 kg (range 0-6 kg). The AC/PTx treatment regimen did not cause significant changes in the monitored laboratory parameters.

We tested the effect of substituents at the (1) C3 ́, C3 ́N, (2) C10, and (3) C2-meta-benzoate positions of taxane derivatives on their activity against sensitive versus counterpart paclitaxel-resistant breast (MCF-7) and ovarian (SK-OV-3) cancer cells. We found that (1) non-aromatic groups at both C3 ́ and C3 ́N positions, when compared with phenyl groups at the same positions of a taxane derivative, significantly reduced the resistance of ABCB1 expressing MCF-7/PacR and SK-OV-3/PacR cancer cells. This is, at least in the case of the SB-T-1216 series, accompanied by an ineffective decrease of intracellular levels in MCF-7/PacR cells. The low binding affinity of SB-T-1216 in the ABCB1 binding cavity can elucidate these effects. (2) Cyclopropanecarbonyl group at the C10 position, when compared with the H atom, seems to increase the potency and capability of the derivative in overcoming paclitaxel resistance in both models. (3) Derivatives with fluorine and methyl substituents at the C2-meta-benzoate position were variously potent against sensitive and resistant cancer cells. All C2 derivatives were less capable of overcoming acquired resistance to paclitaxel in vitro than non-substituted analogs. Notably, fluorine derivatives SB-T-121205 and 121,206 were more potent against sensitive and resistant SK-OV-3 cells, and derivatives SB-T-121405 and 121,406 were more potent against sensitive and resistant MCF-7 cells. (4) The various structure-activity relationships of SB-T derivatives observed in two cell line models known to express ABCB1 favor their complex interaction not based solely on ABCB1.

Paclitaxel (PTX) is a chemotherapeutic agent affecting microtubule polymerization. The efficacy of PTX depends on the type of tumor, and its improvement would be beneficial in patients' treatment. Therefore, we tested the effect of slow sulfide donor GYY4137 on paclitaxel sensitivity in two different breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231, derived from a triple negative cell line, and JIMT1, which overexpresses HER2 and is resistant to trastuzumab. In JIMT1 and MDA-MB-231 cells, we compared IC50 and some metabolic (apoptosis induction, lactate/pyruvate conversion, production of reactive oxygen species, etc.), morphologic (changes in cytoskeleton), and functional (migration, angiogenesis) parameters for PTX and PTX/GYY4137, aiming to determine the mechanism of the sensitization of PTX. We observed improved sensitivity to paclitaxel in the presence of GYY4137 in both cell lines, but also some differences in apoptosis induction and pyruvate/lactate conversion between these cells. In MDA-MB-231 cells, GYY4137 increased apoptosis without affecting the IP3R1 protein, changing the morphology of the cytoskeleton. A mechanism of PTX sensitization by GYY4137 in JIMT1 cells is distinct from MDA-MB-231, and remains to be further elucidated. We suggest different mechanisms of action for H2S on the paclitaxel treatment of MDA-MB-231 and JIMT1 breast cancer cell lines.
