Abstract

Background

BC001 is a novel fully human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody blocking VEGFR2. This phase I study aimed to assess BC001 alone and plus chemotherapy in solid tumors.

Methods

In dose escalation part, BC001 was assessed at dose levels of 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 mg/kg on day 1,15, every 28 days, followed an accelerated titration and “3 + 3” design. BC001 plus paclitaxel was assessed at dose level of 8, 10 mg/kg. The primary endpoints included the DLT, MTD and RDE of BC001. In dose expansion part, it aimed to assess the anti-tumor activity of BC001 alone and plus chemotherapy in gastric cancer as 2nd line treatment.

Results

Overall, 53 patients were finally enrolled in this study (phase Ia, n = 28; phase Ib, n = 25). In phase Ia part, 1 DLT (grade 4 neutropenia lasting 4 days) was observed in BC001(8 mg/kg) plus paclitaxel cohort. MTD was not reached. All patients experienced TEAEs of any grade. Twenty-four of them suffered ≥ grade 3 TEAEs. leukopenia (n = 33, 62.3%), hemoglobin decreased (n = 32, 60.4%), neutropenia (n = 29, 54.7%) were commonly observed hematological toxicities. The half-life of 140-240 h. And the PK parameters were not largely influenced by combination with paclitaxel. The serum sVEGFR-1, VEGF-A, sVEGFR-2 could not predict the efficacy. Based on the safety, PK and efficacy data, BC001 of 8 mg/kg was determined as RED. Among the GC patients(n = 21) who receiving BC001 plus paclitaxel as 2nd-line treatment in phase 1b part, 6 patients achieved PR and 10 patients experienced SD. The ORR was 28.6% (95% CI 11.3%, 52.2%) and the DCR was 76.2% (95% CI 52.8%, 91.8%), with the median PFS of 5.4 months (95% CI 1.9, 7.0) and OS of 9.4 months (95% CI 5.4, NA). The median DoR was 5.1 months (95% CI 2.6, NA).

Conclusions

BC001 showed acceptable safety profile and preliminary response in both single-agent and combination with chemotherapy cohorts, especially in GC.

针对血管内皮生长因子受体-2 的新型全人源免疫球蛋白 G1 单克隆抗体 BC001 在晚期实体瘤中的 I 期研究

背景 BC001 是一种新型全人源免疫球蛋白 G1 单克隆抗体，可阻断血管内皮生长因子受体 2。这项I期研究旨在评估BC001单独或联合化疗治疗实体瘤的效果。方法在剂量递增部分，BC001的剂量水平为2、4、8、12、16 mg/kg，第1天和第15天各一次，每28天一次，采用加速滴定和 "3 + 3 "设计。BC001 加紫杉醇的剂量为 8、10 毫克/千克。主要终点包括BC001的DLT、MTD和RDE。在剂量扩增部分，旨在评估BC001单药和联合化疗作为胃癌二线治疗的抗肿瘤活性。结果最终有53名患者参与了这项研究（Ia期，28人；Ib期，25人）。在Ia期，BC001（8毫克/千克）加紫杉醇组出现了1例DLT（持续4天的4级中性粒细胞减少症）。未达到MTD。所有患者都出现了任何程度的 TEAEs。白细胞减少（33例，62.3%）、血红蛋白下降（32例，60.4%）、中性粒细胞减少（29例，54.7%）是常见的血液学毒性反应。半衰期为140-240 h，与紫杉醇联用对PK参数影响不大。血清sVEGFR-1、VEGF-A、sVEGFR-2不能预测疗效。根据安全性、PK和疗效数据，确定8 mg/kg的BC001为RED。在1b期接受BC001联合紫杉醇二线治疗的GC患者（21人）中，6人获得PR，10人获得SD。ORR为28.6% (95% CI 11.3%, 52.2%)，DCR为76.2% (95% CI 52.8%, 91.8%)，中位PFS为5.4个月 (95% CI 1.9, 7.0)，OS为9.4个月 (95% CI 5.4, NA)。中位DoR为5.1个月（95% CI为2.6，不确定）。结论 BC001在单药和联合化疗组别中均显示出可接受的安全性和初步反应，尤其是在GC中。
