O’Reilly, MD * KEYWORDS Pancreatic cancer Metastatic disease Gemcitabine Nab-paclitaxel FOLFIRINOX Targeted agents Immune therapy KEY POINTS Progress in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been incre- mental, mainly ensuing from cytotoxic systemic therapy, which continues to be a standard of care for metastatic disease. Folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) and gemcita- bine plus nab-paclitaxel have emerged as new standard therapies, improving survival in patients with good performance status. Novel therapeutics targeting the peritumoral stroma and tumor-driven immune suppres- sion are currently a major focus of research in metastatic disease. Identification of reliable and validated predictive biomarkers to optimize therapeutics con- tinues to be a challenge. Continued efforts toward better understanding of tumor biology and developing new drugs are warranted because a majority of patients succumb within a year of diagnosis, despite an increasing number of therapeutic options available today.

All rights reserved. 1392 Cheema & O’Reilly cases.1 Despite the low incidence, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death among both men and women in the United States, with a high mortality-to-incidence ratio, and is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality by 2030.2,3 PDAC is the most common histologic subtype, found in more than 85% of cases. Surgical resection is curative in a minority of patients; however, 70% to 80% of patients have unresectable disease, with more than 50% having distant metastases at the time of initial diagnosis, where the treat- ment goals are to control disease, palliate symptoms, and prolong survival.2 For PDAC, the expected 5-year survival for all patients is approximately 6% to 7% and less for patients who are diagnosed with metastatic disease de novo.2,4 Putative explanations for poor outcomes are generally attributed to the asymptomatic early stages of the disease, lack of effective screening tools, early metastatic dissemina- tion, relative resistance of the tumor to cytotoxic and targeted therapies, dense stroma, hypoxic microenvironment, and immune suppression. Over the past several years, tangible improvements in outcomes have been observed in patients with metastatic PDAC with the increasing use of new chemother- apeutic regimens. Gemcitabine plus albumin-bound paclitaxel and FOLFIRINOX have generated median overall survivals (OSs) ranging from 8.5 to 11.1 months for patients with good performance status.5,6 For patients with poor performance status, however, median OS is typically in the 3-month to 6-month range. Through extensive research over the past decade, remarkable advances have been made in understanding the molecular pathogenesis and underpinnings of PDAC. Major advances include elucidation of genetic alterations present in PDAC as well as defining the role of signaling pathways, peritumoral stroma, and immune system in tumor initiation, spread, and resistance to systemic therapies. Therefore, various targeted and immune therapies have been designed and are currently being investi- gated. Despite encouraging results in phase I/II studies, substantial impact in out- comes has not yet been observed. Therefore, PDAC remains a serious challenge for patients, families, and the scientific community. This review discusses the current management options for patients with metastatic PDAC, with particular emphasis on the current state of the art along with current clin- ical trials and a focus on novel agents and immune therapeutics. FIRST-LINE SYSTEMIC THERAPY Systemic therapy is the mainstay of treatment of patients with metastatic PDAC, with proved efficacy in terms of prolonging survival. Historically, 5-FU as a single agent or 5-FU–based regimens were the standard treatments for patients with advanced disease, until the advent of gemcitabine.7,8 Single-agent Gemcitabine Gemcitabine is an S-phase–specific pyrimidine antimetabolite that is converted by cellular kinases into difluorodeoxycytidine triphosphate. This active metabolite then competes with deoxycytidine to inhibit DNA synthesis.9 In 1997, gemcitabine was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as monotherapy for metastatic PDAC after Burris and colleagues10 demonstrated that gemcitabine was superior to 5-FU in patients with baseline Karnofsky performance scale score (KPS) greater than or equal to 50%; 126 patients with advanced PDAC were randomized to receive either gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2 over 30 minutes weekly for 7 weeks, fol- lowed by a week of rest, and then weekly for 3 of 4 weeks) or weekly bolus of 5-FU (600 mg/m2). Clinical benefit response, the principal endpoint of this trial, defined by Management of Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma 1393 composite assessment of pain (pain intensity/analgesia consumption), KPS, and dry weight gain, was observed in 23.8% of patients receiving gemcitabine compared with 4.8% in those receiving 5-FU (P 5 .022). Furthermore, median OS was also better for gemcitabine arm (5.65 vs 4.41 months, P 5 .0015). Based on the results of this trial, gemcitabine was established as a standard of care for first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic PDAC. To enhance the efficacy of gemcitabine, conventional dosing over 30 minutes versus fixed dose rate (FDR), 10 mg/m2/min, administration has been evaluated. Based on a phase I and pharmacokinetics study, which demonstrated saturation of deoxycytidine kinase enzyme, which catalyzes conversion of gemcitabine to its active metabolite, it was hypothesized that slower/prolonged infusion (FDR) could maximize the intracel- lular accumulation of active metabolite and enhance the antitumor activity.11 A phase III randomized trial did not, however, demonstrate improvements in symptoms, median OS, progression-free survival (PFS), or 1-year or 2-year survival rates in patients who received FDR gemcitabine compared with standard-dose gemcitabine.12 Gemcitabine Combination Therapies Given the positive outcomes with single-agent gemcitabine, numerous clinical trials investigated gemcitabine-based combination therapies in an attempt to improve the efficacy over single-agent therapy. Until recently, however, the results have been largely disappointing. Although gemcitabine combination therapies were observed to be safe and associated with better response rates, no statistically significant improvement in OS, the principal endpoint of most studies, was shown (Table 1). In meta-analyses, however, a survival benefit with some gemcitabine-based combina- tions, mainly fluoropyrimidine and platinum agents, over gemcitabine monotherapy was identified,13–15 providing some support for the use of gemcitabine combinations in patients with a good functional status. Several studies have also investigated gemcitabine-based polychemotherapy regimens comprising multiple cytotoxic drugs. One such study (randomized phase III, n 5 99) was conducted by Reni and colleagues,16 who demonstrated superior out- comes in terms of 4-month PFS (primary endpoint) with cisplatin, epirubicin, 5-FU, and gemcitabine (PEFG) combination therapy over single-agent gemcitabine. Even though outcome was favorable in the PEFG group, hematological toxicity was concerning with significant number of patients developing greater than or equal to grade 3 neutro- penia and thrombocytopenia. Although this study favored the use of intensified chemotherapy, it did not receive much endorsement due to the limitations, including small sample size and principal endpoint of 4-month PFS (instead of OS), which made results difficult to generalize. Gemcitabine Plus Erlotinib Erlotinib, a tyrosine kinase (TYK) inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), was the first drug to show survival benefit when administered in combination with gemcitabine. Moore and colleagues,17 in 2007, conducted a phase III trial, including 569 patients, randomized to receive gemcitabine plus erlotinib (100 mg/d or 150 mg/d) or gemcitabine alone in patients with

  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

Receptor-ligand binding between inhibitory molecules is often exploited by tumours to suppress anti-tumour immune responses. Immune checkpoint inhibitors that block these inhibitory interactions can relieve T-cells from negative regulation, and have yielded remarkable activity in the clinic. Despite this success, clinical data reveal that durable responses are limited to a minority of patients and malignancies, indicating the presence of underlying resistance mechanisms. Accumulating evidence suggests that tumour hypoxia, a pervasive feature of many solid cancers, is a critical phenomenon involved in suppressing the anti-tumour immune Citation: Fu, Z.; Mowday, A.M.; response generated by checkpoint inhibitors.

  • Sarcoma Field Digests Evofosfamide Failure
    December 08, 2015 Sarcoma field digests evofosfamide failure Robin Davison The failure of the phase III study of evofosfamide in soft tissue sarcoma – which was itself only half of an unprecedented double dose of disappointment meted out to Threshold Pharmaceuticals yesterday – has left observers pondering the implications for future development in this cancer field. Most obviously, Threshold’s discontinuation of evofosfamide leaves an already thin pipeline in this indication even thinner (see table below). And the sarcoma field has never had a very strong flow of new agents. That industry pipeline for soft tissue sarcoma is now reduced to just five molecules in late-stage or pivotal studies – two in phase III and three in phase II/III – with a similar number in company-sponsored, randomised phase II studies. There are of course a number of other agents in investigator-sponsored or exploratory, single- arm studies in sarcoma, but these have been excluded from EP Vantage’s analysis as they do not, or do not yet, represent programmes working towards a regulatory approval. Curiously, the fact that evofosfamide did not show an additive benefit to doxorubicin in the pivotal study had to some extent been anticipated by investors (Event – Threshold hopes to buck the F-R rule, December 3, 2015). This was based on concerns that the study had underestimated control arm survival and thus would be underpowered to show an effect. While this may or may not have been evofosfamide’s undoing, what was unexpected was an exceptional performance in the doxorubicin-only control arm. The study showed a median overall survival of 19 months for the control arm, by far the longest seen yet for the existing agent.
