Popis: Background: IDO1 is a mediator of tumor immune suppression through alteration of tryptophan metabolism. Indoximod (1-methyl-tryptophan) is an IDO1 pathway inhibitor. There is preclinical evidence that indoximod acts synergistically with chemotherapy such as taxanes (Uyttenhove, 2003) in an immune dependent fashion. Previous studies demonstrated the safety and activity of indoximod combined with docetaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors, including breast cancer (Soliman, 2014). A phase 2 clinical trial was designed to study the efficacy of indoximod plus taxanes in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts). Method: This is a phase II randomized, 1:1 placebo controlled clinical trial, that enrolled MBC pts in multiple centers in the US and Poland. Eligibility criteria included ER+ or ER- HER2- MBC, ability to receive taxane therapy, PS 0-1, normal organ function and absence of autoimmune disease. Pts were randomized to taxane (either weekly paclitaxel 80mg/m2 3 on 1 off or q3wk docetaxel at 75mg/m2 per treating physician’s discretion) + placebo (TP) or taxane + indoximod 1200mg PO BID (TI) as first line treatment for MBC. Primary endpoint was PFS. The sample size of 154 patients was designed to detect a HR of .64 with one sided α=.1 and β=.2 after 95 events. Archival tumor tissue was stained with IHC for IDO1 expression when available. Aperio digital pathology positive pixel algorithm was used for scoring, with manual verification. Median value was used as cut-off for IDO positivity. Results: 164 pts were randomized and treated (85 TI, 79 TP). Demographics and tumor features are shown in table 1. Treatment discontinuation was due to disease progression (60%), adverse events (10%), other (30%). Objective response rate was 40% in TI and 37% in TP arm (p=.74). The median PFS was 6.0 (95% CI, 4.5, 8.1) months in the TI arm and 8.4 (95% CI, 5.6, 9.8) in the TP arm, HR of 1.14 (0.81, 1.60). The median OS was 21.6 months (CI 95%, 16, 39.1) in the TI arm and 21.2 (CI 95%, 19.1, 32.1) in the TP arm. The median follow up was 17.4 (range 0.1, 39.4) months. Grade ≥3 treatment emergent adverse events were observed in 60% of patients in both arms with neutropenia, fatigue, anemia, diarrhea being most common but not significantly different between arms. An exploratory analysis of IDO staining with outcomes in 42 samples (22 in TI and 20 TP) suggested a difference in median PFS in pts with high IDO expression assigned to TI vs. TP (10.3 vs 4 months, p=.047). No other prognostic or predictive associations were observed based on IDO status in the analysis. Conclusions: The combination of indoximod with a taxane in 1st line HER2- MBC was safe and did not result in added toxicity. In an unselected population, no improvement in clinical outcomes was observed for the combination over taxane alone. However, higher tumor IDO expression may select for MBC pts who benefit more from indoximod and should be investigated as a predictive biomarker in future studies.
