Popis: | Background: MLN0264 consists of a fully human anti-GCC monoclonal antibody linked to the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via a protease-cleavable linker (MMAE and linker technology licensed from Seattle Genetics). The transmembrane cell surface receptor GCC is expressed by ∼95% of primary and metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) tumors. MLN0264 has shown selective binding and antitumor activity in mouse xenograft models of mCRC expressing GCC, and is currently being investigated in a phase 1 study in patients with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. GCC is also expressed in subsets of pancreatic cancers. Further to the findings in mCRC, we investigated GCC expression in human pancreatic tumors and evaluated MLN0264 activity in mouse xenograft models of GCC-expressing human pancreatic cancer. Methods: GCC expression in multiple human pancreatic cancer samples including tissue microarrays (TMAs) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). For in vivo studies, 7 mouse xenograft primary human tumor explant (PHTX) models of pancreatic cancer were developed, including tumor tissue from patients with wild-type and mutant KRAS. Animals were treated when the tumor reached ∼230 mm3. In single-agent studies, animals were administered vehicle, MMAE 0.135 mg/kg once weekly (QW), or MLN0264 3.75 or 7.5 mg/kg QW. In combination studies, animals received vehicle, or MLN0264 7.5 mg/kg QW alone or in combination with gemcitabine 15 or 20 mg/kg twice weekly (BIW), or gemcitabine 15 mg/kg on days 1, 3 each week. Average tumor volume was determined at multiple time points following the start of treatment using vernier callipers. Results: In the GCC-expressing PHTX-249 mouse xenograft model (KRAS mutant G12), single-agent MLN0264 showed significant tumor growth inhibition (TGI) versus vehicle or free MMAE by day 21, with the 7.5 mg/kg dose significantly better than 3.75 mg/kg by day 20-22. Similarly, in the GCC-expressing PHTX-215 model (KRAS wild-type), MLN0264 7.5 mg/kg resulted in significantly greater TGI (79%) versus free MMAE or MLN0264 3.75 mg/kg by day 22, including some tumor regression. Across the 7 models (variable apical GCC expression; KRAS wild-type and mutant), TGI ranged from 24% (p=0.17) to 79% (p Conclusions: These findings indicate that MLN0264 has antitumor activity as a single agent and in combination with gemcitabine in GCC-expressing pancreatic cancer xenograft models, and support clinical evaluation of MLN0264 in patients with pancreatic cancer. Data from additional models will be presented. Citation Information: Mol Cancer Ther 2013;12(11 Suppl):PR12.
