A phase Ib study of the Akt inhibitor GDC-0068 with docetaxel (D) or mFOLFOX-6 (F) in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors.

2012

3021 Background: Activation of the Akt pathway is observed in multiple tumors and may contribute to chemoresistance. GDC-0068 is an ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitor of all three isoforms of Akt; in a phase Ia study, it was well tolerated with maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 600 mg daily (21 days on/7days off) and pharmacodynamic down-regulation of Akt signaling in tumors at doses ≥100 mg. In vitro, GDC-0068 shows synergism with cytotoxic agents. This phase Ib study defines the dose limiting toxicities (DLT), MTD, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GDC0068 in combination with D and F. Methods: Using a 3+3 designeligible patients (pt) with advanced/metastatic solid tumors were treat…

First-line nivolumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for advanced gastric, gastro-oesophageal junction, and oesophageal adenocarcinoma (C…

First-line chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma has a median overall survival (OS) of less than 1 year. We aimed to evaluate first-line programmed cell death (PD)-1 inhibitor-based therapies in gastric, gastro-oesophageal junction, and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. We report the first results for nivolumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone.In this multicentre, randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial (CheckMate 649), we enrolled adults (≥18 years) with previously untreated, unresectable, non-HER2-positive gastric, gastro-oesophageal junction, or oesophageal adenocarcinoma, …

Checkmate 577:Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a randomized, double-blind phase III study of nivolumab (NIVO) versus placebo (PBO) as adjuva…

2021

167 Background: NIVO is the first adjuvant therapy to provide a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) versus PBO in resected EC/GEJC following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy as demonstrated by CheckMate 577. NIVO was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile. This analysis provides additional information on the exploratory HRQoL endpoints in this clinical trial. Methods: The effect of NIVO versus PBO on HRQoL, including general and disease-related symptoms, functioning, disease burden, and overall QoL, was assessed using FACT-E and EQ-5D-3L patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires administered at baseline (BL), every 4 wee…

2021

4003 Background: In CheckMate 577 (NCT02743494), NIVO demonstrated a significant and clinically meaningful improvement in disease-free survival (DFS; primary endpoint) vs placebo (PBO) and was well tolerated in patients (pts) with resected (R0) stage II/III EC/GEJC who received neoadjuvant CRT and had residual pathologic disease. Median DFS doubled with NIVO vs PBO (22.4 vs 11.0 months; HR 0.69; 96.4% CI 0.56–0.86; P = 0.0003). Serious treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) and TRAEs leading to discontinuation were reported for < 10% of pts with NIVO and 3% with PBO. Methods: Pts were randomized 2:1 to NIVO 240 mg or PBO Q2W for 16 weeks, followed by NIVO 480 mg or PBO Q4W. Here, we p…
