Abstract:
PURPOSE Sapanisertib is a kinase inhibitor that inhibits both mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2. In this multicenter, single-arm phase II trial, we evaluated the efficacy of sapanisertib in patients with treatment-refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC; NCT03097328 ). METHODS Patients with mRCC of any histology progressing through standard therapy (including prior mTOR inhibitors) had baseline biopsy and received sapanisertib 30 mg by mouth once weekly until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. The primary end point was objective response rate by RECIST 1.1. Tissue biomarkers of mTOR pathway activation were explored. RESULTS We enrolled 38 patients with mRCC (clear cell = 28; variant histology = 10) between August 2017 and November 2019. Twenty-four (63%) had received ≥ 3 prior lines of therapy; 17 (45%) had received prior rapalog therapy. The median follow-up was 10.4 (range 1-27.4) months. Objective response rate was two of 38 (5.3%; 90% CI, 1 to 15.6); the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.5 months (95% CI, 1.8 to 3.7). Twelve patients (32%) developed treatment-related grade 3 adverse events, with no grade 4 or 5 toxicities. Alterations in the mTOR pathway genes were seen in 5 of 29 evaluable patients ( MTOR n = 1, PTEN n = 3, and TSC1 n = 1) with no association with response or PFS. Diminished or loss of PTEN expression by immunohistochemistry was seen in 8 of 21 patients and trended toward shorter PFS compared with intact PTEN (median 1.9 v 3.7 months; hazard ratio 2.5; 95% CI, 0.9 to 6.7; P = .055). CONCLUSION Sapanisertib had minimal activity in treatment-refractory mRCC independent of mTOR pathway alterations. Additional therapeutic strategies are needed for patients with refractory mRCC.Keywords:

We evaluated the prognostic accuracy of established PET and CT response criteria in patients with soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) after combined chemotherapy plus regional hyperthermia (RHT).Seventy-three patients underwent (18)F-FDG PET/CT before and after 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with RHT for STS. Progression-free survival (PFS) and time to local and distant progression were among other factors correlated with response according to PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST 1.0) and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1).Metabolic response by PERCIST (n = 44/73) was an independent predictor for PFS (P = 0.002; hazard ratio [HR], 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18-0.68) and time to local or distant progression. Other independent predictors for PFS by multivariate analysis were adjuvant radiotherapy (P = 0.010; HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.20-0.80) and a baseline tumor size less than 5.7 cm (P = 0.012; HR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.22-0.83). Response by RECIST 1.1 was seen in a small group of patients (n = 22/73) and allowed prediction of PFS for patients with sarcoma outside the abdomen (P = 0.048; HR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.02-0.98).Metabolic response by (18)F-FDG PET predicts PFS and time to local and distant progression after 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus RHT for STS.

2004 Background: Glioblastomas (GBM) frequently have EGFR amplification/mutations and inactivation of PTEN. Although single agent EGFR and mTOR inhibitors have limited activity, combinations of these agents may be more effective. Methods: The North American Brain Tumor Consortium conducted a phase I/II study of the EGFR inhibitor erlotinib in combination with the mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus in recurrent MG. Eligibility criteria were histologically proven GBM and anaplastic gliomas (AG), radiologic progression, >18 years old, KPS >60, adequate bone marrow and organ function. There was no limit on the number of prior relapses for phase I and no more than two prior relapses for phase II. Patients must not be receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs. The dose of erlotinib was 150 mg/d in phase I and titrated up to maximum of 200mg/d in phase II depending on tolerability. Patients initially received temsirolimus 50 mg i.v. once weekly and the dose adjusted based on toxicities. Escalation was performed in groups of three. MTD was defined as the dose with 1/6 or fewer patients with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Primary endpoint for the phase II component was PFS6. Results: In phase I, 22 patients were enrolled (15 GBM; 7 AG). Median age was 54 years (26–74); median KPS 90 (70–100); median prior relapses 1 (0–3). The MTD was determined to be 150 mg of erlotinib daily combined with 15 mg of temsirolimus weekly. DLTs were rash, mucositis, and liver function abnormalities. Pharmacokinetic data were similar to that for single agent erlotinib and temsirolimus; there was no interaction between the two drugs. AUC accumulation ratios between cycle 1 and 2 for erlotinib and OSI-420 were 3.6 and 4.6, respectively. In phase II, there were 56 patients (including 12 phase I patients treated at the MTD): 40 GBM; 16 AG, median age 47 years (20–72); median KPS 90 (range 60–100), median prior relapses 1 (range 1–3). Six patients discontinued therapy as a result of toxicities. For GBM patients, there was no PR, 30% SD, and PFS6 was 12.5%. For AG patients there was 12.5% PR, 12.5% SD, and PFS6 was 6.25%. Conclusions: The combination of erlotinib and temsirolimus was associated with a higher than expected incidence of toxicities and had minimal activity in recurrent MG. [Table: see text]
