Popis: Background NHS-IL12 is a first-in-class, recombinant fusion protein composed of the human monoclonal antibody NHS76 (binds exposed DNA/histones at sites of intratumoral necrosis) fused to 2 IL-12 heterodimers. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of NHS-IL12 monotherapy given subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks was previously reported. The study was expanded to include a high-exposure cohort with NHS-IL12 SC every 2 weeks (q2w). Methods This single-arm, phase I trial evaluated NHS-IL12 12 µg/kg SC q2w or 16.8µg/kg SC q2w in patients with metastatic solid tumors. The primary endpoint was safety. Results Using a 3+3 design, 13 patients with advanced cancer were enrolled and 12 were dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluable. There was 1 DLT (Grade 3 aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase [AST/ALT] elevation). Other grade 3 toxicities included: flu-like symptoms 1/13 (8%), decreased absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) 1/13 (8%), decreased white blood cell count (WBC) 1/13 (8%), but most adverse events reported were low grade and self-limiting grade. Fifty percent of evaluable patients (6/12) experienced stable disease (SD) with 42% (5/12) developing progressive disease (PD) at the first restaging. Conclusion Biweekly NHS-IL12 was well tolerated in this small phase I study. Additional studies incorporating NHS-IL12 with other immunomodulating agents are underway.
