Abstract CT154: Isatuximab (Isa) plus atezolizumab (Atezo) in patients (pts) with advanced malignancies: Results from a Phase 1/2 open-label multicenter study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background: The CD38 monoclonal antibody Isa is approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma, but there are no data on its efficacy in solid tumors. A mechanism of immune resistance to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy caused by CD38 expression in tumor cells has been described in the preclinical setting, providing a rationale for testing a combination of Isa+Atezo (anti-PD-L1 antibody) in the clinic to prevent therapy resistance and further enhance antitumor efficacy. The present study assessed safety and efficacy of Isa+Atezo in pts with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC; n = 18), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM; n = 33), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; n = 27), or squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN; n = 29), not amenable to local therapy with curative intent. Methods: Phase 1 (NCT03637764) assessed safety and confirmed the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Isa according to a 21-day dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period. Pts received Isa 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every week for 3 weeks followed by once every 3 weeks + Atezo 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks. Phase 2 used a Simon's 2-stage design to assess the overall response rate (ORR; EOC, HCC, SCCHN cohorts) or progression-free survival at 6 months (PFS-6; GBM cohort). Interim analysis was performed at 6 months following first treatment of the last enrolled pt in each cohort. Pharmacodynamics (PD), including analysis of CD38, PD-L1 and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment (TME), were also evaluated. Results: In Phase 1, Isa+Atezo had acceptable safety and tolerability, with no new safety signals, in pts with EOC, GBM, HCC, or SCCHN. No DLTs were observed and RP2D were confirmed. Overall, 99% of pts experienced TEAEs, with >40% being Grade ≥3. The most frequently reported TEAE of any grade for all cohorts was infusion-related reactions (EOC, 83.3%; GBM, 54.5%; HCC, 63.0%; SCCHN, 31.0%). In the GBM Phase 2 cohort, the PFS-6 was 3.1%; no patients responded in Stage 1. In the EOC, HCC, and SCCHN Phase 2 cohorts, ORR was 5.6%, 7.4%, and 13.8%, respectively; therefore, the study did not continue to Stage 2. Tumor-infiltrating CD38+ immune cells were reduced by ~20% after treatment. Isa+Atezo did not lead to significant modulation of Tregs or PD-L1 in the TME. Conclusions: Isa+Atezo had acceptable safety and tolerability. Clinical PD evaluation suggested the efficient target engagement effect of Isa by demonstrating treatment-mediated reduction of CD38+ immune cells in the TME. However, significant reduction of CD38+ Tregs and restoration of T-cell proliferation was not observed. Based on clinical data, CD38 inhibition does not seem to influence response to anti-PD-L1 agents in these pts. Although no new safety signals were observed, efficacy did not fulfil criteria to expand enrollment despite the evidence of target engagement of Isa.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
