Abstract 4114
Background
Recombinant super-compound interferon (rSIFN-co) is a new class of interferon derived from altering the spatial structure and configuration of the basic interferon protein. rSIFN-co displayed greater anti-tumor activity in solid tumors compared to interferon α-2b in pre-clinical studies.
Methods
Patients with advanced malignancies were enrolled to determine the safety, tolerability, recommended phase II dose (RP2D), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary anti-tumor activities in a 3 + 3 dose escalation design. rSIFN-co was dosed 3 times a week via subcutaneous injection for 21 days followed by 7 days rest. This was preceded by a lead in phase. PD studies comprised of FDG-PET, pre and post treatment changes in plasma cytokine profile and tumor repressive/ enhancing genes as well as 2’5’-oligoadenylate synthetase levels.
Results
39 treatment refractory patients (pts) were enrolled, 18 (46%) colorectal cancer (CRC), 11 (28%) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 6 (15%) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 2 (5%) melanoma, 1 (3%) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 1 (3%) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Gender M/F 25/14, median age 61.0 yrs, and ECOG 0/1/2 - 18/20/1. Patients were dosed at 4 dose levels. No dose limiting toxicities were encountered even at DL4 - 30μg (1.6 × 107IU) 3x/week for 21 days followed by 7 days rest. Most common drug related adverse event (drAE) includes pyrexia (92%), chills (54%), fatigue and anorexia (each 41%) and nausea (26%). Grade 3 drAEs include fatigue (8%), WBC decrease (8%), neutropenia (5%), anorexia and pyrexia and weight loss (3%). No grade 4/5 AE were reported. 2 (5.1%) had PR (2 HCC) maintained at 15.9 and 5.9 mths, 19 (48.7%) had disease control (DCR = PR+SD) of which in 6 (31.5%) DCR was >4 mths (3 HCC, 1 NSCLC and 2 CRC), and median PFS was 2.2 mths. Detailed PD data will be presented for all cohorts.
Conclusions
The RP2D of rSIFN-co was 30ug (1.6 × 107IU) 3x/week for 21days followed by 7 days’ rest. Anti-tumour activity seen in heavily pre-treated advanced solid tumor patients. especially in HCC. Future plans involve combinations with other immunotherapies.
