Current state of the art

• Several immunotherapy agents are now in phase III trials

▫ 1 just completed its accrual, another one is expected to finish in 6 months

• Increased interest after approval of sipuleucel-T and ipilimumab

• Patients LOVE this studies.

▫ No problems completing accrual

Slide 16 Measuring response –a holy grail of

clinical trials

• WHO, RECIST, RECIST 1.1 assume that decrease in the tumor size is an evidence of activity of anticancer agent.

• Immunotherapy agents do not obey those rules.

Slide 19 Cancer Vaccine Clinical Trial Working

Group (CVCTWG)

Appearance of measurable clinical activity may take longer for immunotherapeutics

Responses can occur after conventional RECIST defined progression

Discontinuation of vaccine therapy might not be appropriate for some progressive patients unless the progression is confirmed.

Durable stable disease may represent clinical benefit

Slide 22 Summary of irRC

• Appearance of new lesions no longer automatically signifies progression as in WHO. ▫ unless they add to a tumor burden by at least 25%

• If patient is classified as irPD confirmation of progression is required. ▫ Confirmation is done at the discretion of investigator in the context

of tumor type, patient overall clinical status

• The new response patterns appear to be clinically meaningful as they correlate with improved outcomes.

• Further confirmation of irRC is needed in the prospective clinical trials▫ They are not ready for wide acceptance

▫ AND they are not accepted by FDA on immune studies.

Ipilimumab (Ipi)

• Fully human monoclonal anti CTLA4 antibody▫ CTLA4 inhibits anti-tumor immunity.

▫ Blocking CTLA4 potentiates T cells

• Improves survival in metastatic melanoma

• Serious, potentially life threatening immune toxicities

▫ Colitis, dermatitis, hepatitis, neuritis.

▫ Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of those management is required.

Study design

• Objectives:▫ To evaluate safety and efficacy of ipilimumab in combination with

chemotherapy

▫ Primary endpoint irPFS

▫ Evaluate 2 different schedules Tumor antigen present before Ipi started (aka give chemotherapy first

for 2 cycles)

Ipi started at the same time as chemotherapy.

• Key inclusion criteria▫ Chemotherapy naïve patients with ECOG 0-1 without brain

metastases or autoimmune disease

• Response evaluated by both WHO and irRC

MAGE-A3 Vaccine

• MAGE –melanoma associated antigen

▫ Expressed in 35-40% of lung cancers

▫ Expression increases with stage and associated with poor prognosis

• MAGE A3 is a recombinant protein vaccine combined with proprietary immunological adjuvant ASO2B

What have we learned over the years

• Developing immunotherapies is not the same as developing cytotoxics▫ Responses take longer▫ “resist RECIST”

• Lower bulk tumors could derive more benefit• Generally not toxic• Stay tuned for results of phase III trials

▫ MAGRIT Resected I-III

▫ START and INSPIRE unresectable treated IIIB (locoregional)

▫ STOP Treated advanced IIIA Unresectable treated IIIB Controlled IV
