Abstract 4441
Background
Cryo is an effective intervention for palliation and local control for small primary and metastatic tumours in mRCC. Pre-clinical murine tumour modeling found cryo recruits effector immune cells and synergizes with anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) to inhibit tumour rechallenge as compared to either therapy (tx) alone, leading to a prospective pilot study evaluating safety/tolerability.
Methods
NCT02626130 randomized pts to treme (CTLA-4) 10mg/kg every 4 weeks alone (arm A) or after cryo (arm B) for two doses followed by surgery (sx) or biopsy (bx) followed by maintenance treme. Best confirmed responses (ORR) were defined using RECIST v1.1, toxicity (tox) tabulated using CTCAE v4 with ≥ grade 3 adverse events (AE) possibly related reported, and time on study was defined as event free survival (EFS). Immune monitoring data (IMD): tissue based IHC, CyTOF, and RNA Nanostring.
Results
30 pts accrued, 29 pts received tx on study. More patients in Arm B had intermediate and poor risk disease as per IMDC criteria and had received >1 line of treatment as compared to Arm A leading to an imbalance between arms. Toxicity on study was similar between arms with six patients on each arm requiring treatment discontinuation due to AEs. IMD found clear cell histology (CC) had an inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME) with increased immune infiltration (IC) post treme in both arms compared to non-clear cell (NCC). CyTOF analysis identified an activated CD4+ T cell cluster expressing ICOS in the TME of CC pts compared to NCC.
Conclusions
Cryo+treme was tolerated similar to treme alone. IMD found a differential TME response to treme in CC vs NCC pts and in EFS >3 mo vs EFS <3 mo. Longer follow up is needed to determine impact of cryo in clinical efficacy endpoints.Table:
