A phase II study of intravenous (IV) wild-type reovirus (Reolysin) in the treatment of patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas metastatic to the lung
Bibliographic record
Abstract
10524 Background: Reolysin is a Dearing strain, naturally occurring, ubiquitous human reovirus. The PKR (double stranded RNA-activated protein kinase) is inhibited and therefore the virus replicates specifically in transformed cells possessing an activated Ras pathway producing lysis. In vitro and in vivo studies with Reolysin in sarcoma cell lines revealed significant antitumor activity. Methods: This phase II open-label, single agent study was designed to characterize the efficacy and safety of Reolysin given IV every 28 days in patients (pts) with bone or soft tissue sarcoma with lung metastasis using a Simon two-stage design. 38 pts were accrued to the first stage. If 1 or more pts experience clinical benefit (prolonged SD > 6 months, partial or complete response) up to 52 pts could be accrued. The agent will be considered active if 3 or more responses or prolonged SD are observed. Results: Since July 2007, 43 pts age 19–76 (median 49) were enrolled (20 female) and received a total of 141 cycles (range 1–18). All pts had performance status 1 (29 pts) or 0 (14 pts). 38 pts received prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological agents or combinations for their metastatic disease, 15 pts received more than 3 chemotherapy regimens. The sarcoma subtypes included: synovial sarcoma (13 pts), osteosarcoma (7 pts), leiomyosarcoma (7 pts), MFH (5 pts), Ewing/PNET (1 pt), chordoma (1 pt), others (9 pts). Side effects were mild to moderate (grade 1–2) and included constitutional symptoms fever, chills, fatigue. Two pts experienced respiratory side effects (cough and dyspnea) and 2 pts had diarrhea. Hematological side effects included grade 2–3 neutropenia (6 pts) and grade 2 thrombocytopenia (2 pts). One patient experienced grade 2 AST elevation. 33 pts are evaluable for response to date: 14 pts (42%) had SD for 2+ months including 5 pts having SD for more than 6 months. Conclusions: Utilization of single agent reovirus for treatment of sarcoma is a novel and unique therapeutic approach to date. Reolysin is well tolerated and shows promise for the treatment of metastatic sarcoma. Primary efficacy goals have been met. Accrual is ongoing to a total of 52 pts. [Table: see text]

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
