Abstract
Background
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) such as disitamab vedotin (DV) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) have emerged as effective treatment options and received regulatory approvals for HER2-expressing locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC). In addition, ADCs in combination with immunotherapy have demonstrated antitumor activity. The current study aimed to evaluate the combination of DV and toripalimab in patients with la/mUC.
Patients and methods
This open-label phase Ib/II study enrolled patients with untreated or chemo-refractory la/mUC. During the dose-escalation phase, DV was administered at escalating doses of 1.5 and 2.0 mg/kg in combination with toripalimab 3.0 mg/kg once every 2 weeks. Primary endpoints were safety and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
Results
From August 2020 to December 2021, a total of 41 patients were enrolled, including 6 in the dose-escalation phase and 35 in the dose-expansion phase. Sixty-one percent of patients were treatment naive. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. The RP2D was determined as DV (2.0 mg/kg) plus toripalimab (3.0 mg/kg). By the data cut-off date of 1 March 2024, the confirmed ORR was 73.2%. The median PFS was 9.3 months, and the median OS was 33.1 months. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were aspartate aminotransferase increased (65.9%), alanine aminotransferase increased (63.4%), and peripheral sensory neuropathy (63.4%). Grade 3 or higher TRAEs occurred in 51.2% of patients, with the most common being γ-glutamyltransferase increased (12.2%), asthenia (9.8%), and alanine aminotransferase increased (7.3%). One treatment-related death (due to pneumonitis) was reported.
Conclusions
The combination of DV and toripalimab demonstrated promising response rate and OS results with a manageable safety profile in HER2-unselected la/mUC patients. This combination represents a promising first-line option for la/mUC. Randomized phase III study is currently ongoing.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Oncology, the official journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology, offers rapid and efficient peer-reviewed publications on innovative cancer treatments and translational research in oncology and precision medicine.
The journal primarily focuses on areas such as systemic anticancer therapy, with a specific emphasis on molecular targeted agents and new immune therapies. We also welcome randomized trials, including negative results, as well as top-level guidelines. Additionally, we encourage submissions in emerging fields that are crucial to personalized medicine, such as molecular pathology, bioinformatics, modern statistics, and biotechnologies. Manuscripts related to radiotherapy, surgery, and pediatrics will be considered if they demonstrate a clear interaction with any of the aforementioned fields or if they present groundbreaking findings.
Our international editorial board comprises renowned experts who are leaders in their respective fields. Through Annals of Oncology, we strive to provide the most effective communication on the dynamic and ever-evolving global oncology landscape.
