    Abstract:
    Abstract Introduction: The TNBC-DX risk score includes the 14-gene immunoglobulin (IGG) immune signature, tumor size, and nodal status and has shown prognostic value for survival in early-stage TNBC (B. Conte et al., ESMO Breast 2021). However, currently unknown are the value of the TNBC-DX risk score and IGG immune signature in 1) predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy, and 2) predicting outcomes the context of neoadjuvant anti-PD1 treatment. Here, we assessed the IGG signature and the TNBC-DX risk score in patients with TNBC treated with neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (NeoPACT; NCT03639948) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy without immunotherapy (NeoSTOP; NCT02413320). Methods: NeoPACT trial enrolled 120 patients with stage I-III TNBC who received carboplatin (AUC 6) + docetaxel (75 mg/m2) + pembrolizumab (200 mg) every 21 days x 6 cycles. NeoSTOP randomized 100 patients with stage I-III TNBC to two chemotherapy regimens; Arm B of NeoSTOP was included in this correlative study as the chemotherapy regimen was identical to NeoPACT. RNA isolated from pretreatment tumor tissue was subjected to next-generation sequencing. The 14-gene IGG immune signature and TNBC-DX risk score were calculated in silico as previously described. Evaluation of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) was performed as previously described. Markers were tested for prediction of pCR. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the effect of multiple variables. Event-free survival (EFS) curves were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and groups compared by the log-rank test, followed by Cox regression analysis. Results: In this analysis, 112 patients were treated with chemoimmunotherapy on NeoPACT (node-positive = 38%, pCR rate = 58%). In the NeoPACT trial, the 14-gene IGG signature (as a continuous variable) was significantly associated with improved pCR (odds ratio [OR]=1.105, 95% CI 1.019-1.197, P=0.015 for every 0.2 increment). The pCR rates in IGG-high (≥ median) and IGG-low (< median) groups were 71% and 44%, respectively (OR=3.152, 95% CI 1.420-6.996, P=0.005). In terms of EFS, the 14-gene IGG signature was not prognostic (hazard ratio [HR]=0.507, 95% CI 0.148-1.735, p=0.269). In contrast, TNBC-DX risk score was strongly associated with EFS (HR=5.684, 95% CI 1.226-26.356, P=0.012), even when adjusted for sTILs and pCR status (HR=8.415, 95% CI 1.054-67.169, P=0.044). Estimated 3-year EFS rates in TNBC-DX high and low risk groups (above and below median) were 77% and 89%, respectively (P=0.012). In 43 NeoSTOP patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy only (node-positive = 33%, pCR rate = 53%), no association of IGG signature with pCR or TNBC-DX score with EFS was observed. Finally, we observed a moderate correlation between IGG signature and sTILs in both trial datasets combined (r=0.642, P< 0.001). Conclusions: High expression of the 14-gene IGG immune signature in baseline pretreatment tumor samples in early-stage TNBC is significantly associated with pCR following pembrolizumab-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The combination of this signature with tumor burden as assessed by TNBC-DX is prognostic for long-term outcomes. Availability of biomarkers that can predict both pathological response and survival with chemoimmunotherapy can optimize this therapy, and evaluation of this biomarker in larger studies is warranted.

    Pembrolizumab is an approved first-line systemic therapy for unresectable metastatic melanoma. Despite the achievement of complete and durable responses in a small subgroup of patients, it is standard practice that pembrolizumab therapy continues beyond complete response. Nevertheless, the incidence of immune-related toxicities gradually increases with continuing pembrolizumab therapy. We report a case highlighting the occurrence of serious induced immune-related adverse events, which were attributed to pembrolizumab in a patient with metastatic melanoma who obtained a complete response (CR) after receiving pembrolizumab for a total of 6.5 months. Although mild pembrolizumab-related toxicity persists, the patient remains disease-free 5.5 months after discontinuation of pembrolizumab. Accordingly, we believe that cessation of pembrolizumab should be considered in patients who achieve a CR because of the ongoing risk of toxicity with extended pembrolizumab administration.

    Previous pharmacokinetic studies with docetaxel have mostly used 3-weekly (75 mg/m2 and 100 mg/m2) or weekly regimens (35–40 mg/m2). The pharmacokinetics and radiosensitizing efficacy of weekly 20 mg/m2 docetaxel, has however not been well characterized. We examined the pharmacokinetics of weekly docetaxel when administered with concurrent radiotherapy and compared the results with a 3-weekly 100 mg/m2 regimen. Thirty-four patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were included in this study, 19 receiving 100 mg/m2 docetaxel 3-weekly as single therapy, and 15 receiving 20 mg/m2 docetaxel weekly with concurrent radiotherapy. A newly developed HPLC method was used for measuring docetaxel levels, capable of quantifying docetaxel in plasma down to the nanomolar level. The HPLC method showed detectable concentrations of docetaxel in plasma even after 72 hours. In the present study we have demonstrated that median docetaxel plasma levels of 3 nM can be obtained 72 hours after a dose of 20 mg/m2. The pharmacokinetics of docetaxel is characterized by great inter-individual variability and at some time points plasma concentrations for 20 mg/m2 and 100 mg/m2 docetaxel were overlapping. Extrapolation of these results indicates that radio sensitizing docetaxel concentrations may be present for as long as 1 week, thus supporting the use of 20 mg/m2 weekly docetaxel.

    Taxanes and anthracyclines are active against breast cancer. In this study we investigated the combined antitumor activity of these drugs, with particular regard to sequence-dependency.The combined antitumor activity of docetaxel and tetrahydropyranyladriamycin (THP) against two human breast cancer xenografts was assessed using an in vitro histoculture drug-response assay. The sequence-dependency of the combined cytotoxicity was evaluated by isobologram.A synergistic antitumor activity of combined docetaxel + THP was exhibited against the R-27 xenograft when docetaxel was given first or simultaneously with THP. However, this synergism was diminished when THP was used before docetaxel. While an additive effect of combined docetaxel + THP was observed against MX-1 xenograft when docetaxel was given first or simultaneously with THP, this effect was not marked using the THP/docetaxel sequence.Docetaxel increased the antitumor activity of THP, but only when administered before or simultaneously with THP.

    Docetaxel is an important anti-microtubule agent used to treat a variety of solid tumors, including breast cancer; notably, docetaxel-containing regimens improve outcomes for patients in metastatic, adjuvant, and neoadjuvant settings. However, the effectiveness of docetaxel in clinical practice can be compromised by suboptimal management of side effects. Here, we report two cases of docetaxel-based chemotherapy regimens in patients who exhibited invasive ductal breast cancer and underwent two different clinical treatment approaches. A 58-year-old postmenopausal female received salvage treatment with 8 cycles of docetaxel (67 mg/m2), and a 74-year-old female received 1 cycle of docetaxel (100 mg/m2). The two patients exhibited considerable hearing loss two days later. Of note, both patients had no hearing loss symptoms prior to docetaxel. Thus, ototoxicity may be a side effect of docetaxel that should be considered during treatment.

    Docetaxel is a new semi-synthetic anticancer agent derived from bacatin III of the needles of the European yew Taxus baccata. Docetaxel has a novel mechanism of action since it binds to tubulin inducing its polymerization and promoting stable microtubule formation. Several differences exist between docetaxel and paclitaxel: (i) broader activity of docetaxel against freshly explanted human tumors than paclitaxel; (ii) a 2-fold higher affinity than paclitaxel; (iii) 2.5-fold more potent than paclitaxel as an inhibitor of cell replication and (iv) docetaxel acts at the S-phase whereas paclitaxel at the G(2)/M phases of the cell cycle. Preclinical and phase II studies revealed that docetaxel is active against NSCLC. In chemotherapy-na ve patients with NSCLC response rates ranged from 19% to 54% with a median duration of survival ranging from 6.3 months to 11 months, and 1-year survival ranging from 21% to 71%. Docetaxel as single agent provided a survival as well as a clinical benefit over BSC in untreated patients with NSCLC. Docetaxel has been efficiently combined with cisplatin (ORR 33%-46%), carboplatin (ORR 30%-48%), vinorelbine (ORR 20%-51%), gemcitabine (ORR 37%-47%), with a median survival ranging from 5-14 months. A preliminary analysis of a multicenter randomized trial comparing docetaxel/CDDP with docetaxel/gemcitabine revealed that the two regimens had comparable activity in terms, of response rates, duration of response, TTP and overall survival; however, the docetaxel/gemcitabine combination has a most favourable toxicity profile compared to docetaxel/CDDP. Docetaxel has also demonstrated radiosensitizing properties and encouraging results have been achieved in combination with irradiation. Finally, docetaxel has shown an important activity in previously-treated patients with NSCLC with ORR ranging from 16% to 25% with a median survival ranging from 7.2 months to 10.5 months. Randomized trials revealed that second-line docetaxel confers a survival benefit over either BSC or ifosfamide/vinorelbine in pretreated patients with NSCLC.

    e20595 Background: Docetaxel is currently approved in non-small cell lung Cancer (NSCLC) after a failure of first line chemotherapy. However, docetaxel has an unfavorable toxicity profile that limits its use. A docetaxel-containing regimen with an improved safety profile would therefore be attractive. Plinabulin, a first-in-class small molecule vascular disruptive agent with potent immuno-oncology effects, is being developed in combination with docetaxel to address this need. Methods: We conducted a Phase 2 study comparing the safety and efficacy of the plinabulin /docetaxel combination (n=90) with docetaxel alone (n=73) in patients with NSCLC entering 2nd or 3rd line therapy. Plinabulin was given intravenously at 20 mg/m2 (n= 40) or 30 mg/m2 (n=50) and docetaxel at 75 mg/m2(n=73). Results: Efficacy results of this study were presented at ASCO 2014. Baseline characteristics for age, gender, ECOG performance score, histology and disease status were comparable between groups. The plinabulin/docetaxel combination improved overall survival, in a subset of patients with large tumors (> 3 cm; HR=0.758, p =0.36), and also had duration of response benefit over docetaxel alone (12.7 vs 1.5 months; P<0.05). We are reporting on the safety profile of plinabulin/ docetaxel combination. Conclusions: In this Phase 2 study, the plinabulin/docetaxel combination mitigated some of the docetaxel toxicities. Most importantly it improved docetaxel dose intensity. The neutropenia benefit was likely due to plinabulin-induced release of cytokines such as IL-1 and IL-6 (data obtained in in-vitro plinabulin studies), which are known to increase neutrophil count. In addition, preliminary results indicated a potential efficacy benefit of the plinabulin/docetaxel combination over docetaxel alone. A global Phase 3 trial with the plinabulin/docetaxel combination vs docetaxel alone is currently underway in the US, China, Australia and New Zealand.
