Mismatch repair-deficient Endometrial Carcinoma

WILMINGTON, Del.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Positive results from the NIAGARA Phase III trial showed AstraZeneca’s IMFINZI ® (durvalumab) in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of event-free survival (EFS) and the key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Patients were treated with IMFINZI in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder) followed by IMFINZI as adjuvant monotherapy. These results will be presented today during a Presidential Symposium at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Barcelona, Spain (abstract #LBA5) and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine . In a planned interim analysis, patients treated with the IMFINZI perioperative regimen showed a 32% reduction in the risk of disease progression, recurrence, not undergoing surgery, or death versus the comparator arm (based on EFS hazard ratio [HR] of 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-0.82; p<0.0001). Estimated median EFS was not yet reached for IMFINZI arm versus 46.1 months for the comparator arm. An estimated 67.8% of patients treated with the IMFINZI regimen were event free at two years compared to 59.8% in the comparator arm. Results from the key secondary endpoint of OS showed the IMFINZI perioperative regimen reduced the risk of death by 25% versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy with radical cystectomy (based on OS HR of 0.75; 95% CI 0.59-0.93; p=0.0106). Median survival was not yet reached for either arm. An estimated 82.2% of patients treated with the IMFINZI regimen were alive at two years compared to 75.2% in the comparator arm. Professor Thomas Powles, MD, Director of Barts Cancer Centre (QMUL), London, UK, and principal investigator in the NIAGARA trial, said: “ Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with bladder removal has been the mainstay of treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer for nearly twenty years; however, half of patients still go to suffer a devastating recurrence. Adding durvalumab before and after surgery significantly reduced the chance of recurrence and extended survival, a significant advance with the potential to transform the standard of care for these patients who desperately need better outcomes.” Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “ The NIAGARA data showed compelling improvements in both event-free survival and overall survival, with more than 80 percent of patients treated with the IMFINZI perioperative regimen alive at two years. This is the first immunotherapy regimen to significantly extend overall survival in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and it further validates our strategy to move cancer treatment as early as possible to maximize benefit for patients.” Summary of results: NIAGARA ​ ​IMFINZI-based regimen (n=533) ​ Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (n=530) EFS Number of patients with event (%) 187 (35.1) 246 (46.4) Median EFS (95% CI) (in months) NR (NR-NR) 46.1 (32.2-NR) HR (95% CI) 0.68 (0.56-0.82) p-value <0.0001 EFS rate at 12 months (%) 76.0 69.9 EFS rate at 24 months (%) 67.8 59.8 OS Number of deaths, n (%) 136 (25.5) 169 (31.9) HR (95% CI) 0.75 (0.59-0.93) Stratified log-rank p-value 0.0106 OS rate at 12 months (%) 89.5 86.5 OS rate at 24 months (%) 82.2 75.2 i With the observed number of events, the boundary for declaring statistical significance was 0.04123 for a 4.9% overall 2-sided alpha ii With the observed number of events, the boundary for declaring statistical significance was 0.01543 for a 4.9% overall 2-sided alpha. Data cutoff 24 Apr 2024. iii Unplanned pCR re-analysis (DCO Apr 24), including 59 samples omitted from formal pCR analysis. ​NR, not reached IMFINZI was generally well tolerated and no new safety signals were observed in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. Further, adding IMFINZI to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was consistent with the known profile for this combination and did not compromise patients’ ability to complete surgery compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. Grade 3 and 4 adverse events due to any cause occurred in 69% of patients treated with IMFINZI and 68% of patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In addition to NIAGARA, IMFINZI is also being tested across early- and late-stage bladder cancer in various treatment combinations, including in non-muscle invasive disease (POTOMAC), patients with MIBC who are cisplatin-ineligible or refusing cisplatin (VOLGA) and locally advanced or metastatic disease (NILE). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION There are no contraindications for IMFINZI ® (durvalumab) or IMJUDO ® (tremelimumab-actl). Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment or after discontinuation. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI and IMJUDO depending on severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. In general, if IMFINZI and IMJUDO requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which may be fatal. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation. IMFINZI as a Single Agent In patients who did not receive recent prior radiation, the incidence of immune-mediated pneumonitis was 2.4% (34/1414), including fatal (<0.1%), and Grade 3-4 (0.4%) adverse reactions. In patients who received recent prior radiation, the incidence of pneumonitis (including radiation pneumonitis) in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC following definitive chemoradiation within 42 days prior to initiation of IMFINZI in PACIFIC was 18.3% (87/475) in patients receiving IMFINZI and 12.8% (30/234) in patients receiving placebo. Of the patients who received IMFINZI (475), 1.1% were fatal and 2.7% were Grade 3 adverse reactions. The frequency and severity of immune-mediated pneumonitis in patients who did not receive definitive chemoradiation prior to IMFINZI were similar in patients who received IMFINZI as a single agent or with ES-SCLC or BTC when given in combination with chemotherapy. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Immune‑mediated pneumonitis occurred in 1.3% (5/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including fatal (0.3%) and Grade 3 (0.2%) adverse reactions.

Immune-mediated pancreatitis occurred in 2.3% (9/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including Grade 4 (0.3%) and Grade 3 (1.5%) adverse reactions. Other Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions The following clinically significant, immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of less than 1% each in patients who received IMFINZI and IMJUDO or were reported with the use of other immune-checkpoint inhibitors. Cardiac/vascular : Myocarditis, pericarditis, vasculitis. Nervous system : Meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis and demyelination, myasthenic syndrome/myasthenia gravis (including exacerbation), Guillain-Barré syndrome, nerve paresis, autoimmune neuropathy. Ocular : Uveitis, iritis, and other ocular inflammatory toxicities can occur. Some cases can be associated with retinal detachment. Various grades of visual impairment to include blindness can occur. If uveitis occurs in combination with other immune-mediated adverse reactions, consider a Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada-like syndrome, as this may require treatment with systemic steroids to reduce the risk of permanent vision loss. Gastrointestinal : Pancreatitis including increases in serum amylase and lipase levels, gastritis, duodenitis. Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders : Myositis/polymyositis, rhabdomyolysis and associated sequelae including renal failure, arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatic. Endocrine : Hypoparathyroidism. Other (hematologic/immune) : Hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi lymphadenitis), sarcoidosis, immune thrombocytopenia, solid organ transplant rejection, other transplant (including corneal graft) rejection. Infusion-Related Reactions IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Interrupt, slow the rate of, or permanently discontinue IMFINZI and IMJUDO based on the severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. For Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions, consider using pre-medications with subsequent doses. IMFINZI as a Single Agent Infusion-related reactions occurred in 2.2% (42/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 3 (0.3%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Infusion-related reactions occurred in 10 (2.6%) patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO.

Complications of Allogeneic HSCT after IMFINZI Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/L-1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on their mechanism of action and data from animal studies, IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiating IMFINZI and IMJUDO and advise them to use effective contraception during treatment with IMFINZI and IMJUDO and for 3 months after the last dose of IMFINZI and IMJUDO. Lactation There is no information regarding the presence of IMFINZI and IMJUDO in human milk; however, because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from IMFINZI and IMJUDO, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose.

Notes Muscle-invasive bladder cancer Bladder cancer is the 9th most common cancer in the world, with more than 614,000 patients diagnosed each year. The most common type of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma, which begins in the urothelial cells of the urinary tract. MIBC, named for its growth into the muscle wall of the bladder, accounts for about a quarter of all bladder cancer cases. In the MIBC setting, approximately 117,000 patients are treated with current standard of care. Standard treatment includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical cystectomy. However, even after cystectomy, patients experience high rates of recurrence and a poor prognosis. Approximately 50% of patients who undergo bladder removal surgery experience disease recurrence. Treatment options that prevent disease recurrence after surgery are critically needed. NIAGARA NIAGARA is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global Phase III trial evaluating IMFINZI as treatment for patients with MIBC before and after radical cystectomy. In the trial, 1,063 patients were randomized to receive IMFINZI plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone prior to cystectomy, followed by IMFINZI or no further treatment after surgery. The trial is being conducted at 192 centers across 22 countries including in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia. Its dual primary endpoints are EFS, defined as the time from treatment randomization to an event like tumor recurrence or progression and pathologic complete response. Key secondary endpoints are OS and safety. ​ IMFINZI ​ IMFINZI ® (durvalumab) is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-L1 protein and blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with the PD-1 and CD80 proteins, countering the tumor’s immune-evading tactics and releasing the inhibition of immune responses. ​ IMFINZI is the only approved immunotherapy and the global standard of care in the curative-intent setting of unresectable, Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients whose disease has not progressed after chemoradiotherapy. Additionally, IMFINZI is approved as a perioperative treatment in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC, for the treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and in combination with a short course of IMJUDO ® (tremelimumab-actl) and chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic NSCLCs. ​​In addition to its indications in lung cancers, IMFINZI is approved in combination with chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus cisplatin) in locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer and in combination with IMJUDO in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). IMFINZI is also approved as a monotherapy in unresectable HCC in Japan and the EU. IMFINZI is also approved in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) followed by IMFINZI monotherapy in primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer that is mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) in the US. In the EU, IMFINZI plus chemotherapy followed by olaparib and IMFINZI is approved for patients with mismatch repair proficient disease advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, and IMFINZI plus chemotherapy followed by IMFINZI alone is approved for patients with dMMR disease.​ ​Since the first approval in May 2017, more than 220,000 patients have been treated with IMFINZI. As part of a broad development program, IMFINZI is being tested as a single treatment and in combinations with other anti-cancer treatments for patients with SCLC, NSCLC, breast cancer, bladder cancer, several gastrointestinal and gynaecologic cancers, and other solid tumors.

WILMINGTON, Del.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--AstraZeneca advances its ambition to revolutionize cancer care with new data across its diverse, industry-leading portfolio and pipeline at the IASLC 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, September 7 to 10, 2024 and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, September 13 to 17, 2024. Across the two meetings, more than 130 abstracts will feature 17 approved and potential new medicines from AstraZeneca including five Presidential Symposia and 41 oral presentations. Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “ The presentations across these two congresses advance our long-term strategy to revolutionize cancer care. We will show results from our computational pathology platform at WCLC which we are using across our antibody drug conjugate portfolio to develop predictive biomarkers to enhance patient selection and improve outcomes for patients. We will also share data on the use of our TROP2 antibody drug conjugate datopotamab deruxtecan in combination with IMFINZI in early-stage lung cancer, a promising first look at clinical activity from two of our own pipeline antibody drug conjugates and important progress for our next-generation immunotherapies.” Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: “ Our data featured at WCLC and ESMO will exhibit AstraZeneca’s progress in advancing several of the biggest trends transforming cancer treatment today and potentially in the future. Positive results for IMFINZI from the NIAGARA trial in muscle-invasive bladder cancer will show the importance of integrating perioperative immunotherapy in this setting, and data for datopotamab deruxtecan and ENHERTU in several lung cancer settings will highlight how antibody drug conjugates have the potential to replace traditional chemotherapy approaches in many cancer settings.” Key trend: early intervention and transforming outcomes in early-stage disease A Presidential Symposium at ESMO will showcase the results from the NIAGARA Phase III trial of IMFINZI ® (durvalumab) in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder) followed by IMFINZI as adjuvant monotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. High-level results for this IMFINZI-based regimen showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) benefit, making it the first perioperative immunotherapy regimen to show extended survival in bladder cancer in a Phase III trial. In lung cancer, several presentations at both meetings will reinforce the Company’s progress toward moving treatment to earlier stages of disease. These include: A late-breaking Presidential Symposium at WCLC that will feature efficacy and safety data from the NeoCOAST-2 Phase II platform trial. This trial evaluates IMFINZI in multiple novel combinations, before and after surgery, in patients with resectable, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including a combination with datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). Results will build on the proven efficacy of perioperative IMFINZI as demonstrated in the AEGEAN Phase III trial, which was recently approved in the US. A late-breaking oral presentation at WCLC sharing results from the second interim analysis of the AEGEAN Phase III trial of perioperative IMFINZI-based treatment in patients with resectable early-stage (IIA-IIIB) NSCLC. The data include EFS in subgroups of patients who did or did not achieve pathologic complete response, as well as new disease-free survival and OS results. An additional late-breaking oral presentation at ESMO sharing AEGEAN circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) data will provide insights on how patients respond to treatment. A late-breaking mini-oral presentation at WCLC highlighting patient-reported outcomes from the ADRIATIC Phase III trial of IMFINZI in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer whose disease did not progress on concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Additionally, an oral presentation at ESMO will share outcomes in key patient subgroups. A mini-oral presentation at ESMO of results from the LAURA Phase III trial including analyses of central nervous system metastases and distant progression with TAGRISSO ® (osimertinib) in unresectable, Stage III EGFRm NSCLC after CRT. Additional data from LAURA will include a safety analysis at WCLC and a poster presentation at ESMO of efficacy and safety results in a cohort of patients in China. Key trend: novel ADCs replacing systemic chemotherapy A late-breaking Presidential Symposium at WCLC of exploratory results from the application of AstraZeneca’s proprietary computational pathology platform, quantitative continuous scoring (QCS), to tissue samples collected in TROPION-Lung01 will demonstrate the potential of TROP2, as measured by QCS, as a predictive biomarker for datopotamab deruxtecan. Additionally, a late-breaking oral presentation will showcase OS data from the TROPION-Lung01 Phase III trial evaluating datopotamab deruxtecan in patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. In May , high-level results showed that datopotamab deruxtecan demonstrated a clinically meaningful OS improvement versus docetaxel, the current standard-of-care chemotherapy, in patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC previously treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Also, at WCLC, an oral presentation will highlight efficacy and safety data from Part 1 of the DESTINY-Lung03 Phase Ib trial of ENHERTU ® (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) in patients with previously treated HER2-overexpressing unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, building on data from the DESTINY-Lung01 Phase II trial. At ESMO, a late-breaking oral presentation from the DESTINY-Breast12 Phase IIIb/IV trial of ENHERTU in patients with previously treated metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer with and without brain metastases will showcase the potential benefits of this important medicine in this patient population. Additionally, an oral presentation of the DESTINY-Gastric03 Phase Ib/II trial will feature safety and efficacy data for the combination of ENHERTU, chemotherapy and pembrolizumab as a 1st-line treatment in HER2-positive gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers. A mini-oral presentation at ESMO will highlight first results from the endometrial and ovarian cancer cohorts of the TROPION-PanTumor03 Phase II trial of datopotamab deruxtecan. Several presentations at ESMO will showcase the strength of the Company’s emerging proprietary antibody drug conjugate (ADC) technology. These include: A proffered paper presentation sharing dose escalation results from the BLUESTAR Phase I/IIa trial of B7-H4 ADC AZD8205 in patients with B7-H4-expressing advanced solid tumors. B7-H4 is a promising ADC target which is highly expressed in several solid tumors. AZD8205 is the first ADC bearing a novel proprietary topoisomerase I inhibitor (TOP1i) linker payload to enter the clinic. Robust AZD8205 anti-tumor response has previously been reported in B7-H4-expressing preclinical models across multiple tumor types. A poster presentation sharing dose escalation results from the FONTANA Phase I/IIa first-in-human trial of AZD5335 demonstrating clinical activity, favorable pharmacokinetic and manageable safety profiles in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. This ADC has a FRα-targeting antibody linked to a proprietary TOP1i warhead. A robust anti-tumor response has previously been reported in FRα-expressing preclinical models that are resistant to another FRα ADC with a microtubule inhibitor warhead. Key trend: advancing next wave of immunotherapy agents Several presentations will underscore the Company’s commitment to advancing its comprehensive bispecific antibody program: A poster presentation sharing the first report of overall response rate and safety data from Substudy 2 of the GEMINI-Gastric Phase II trial, testing rilvegostomig (AZD2936), a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific immune checkpoint inhibitor, plus chemotherapy as a 1st-line treatment in patients with HER2-negative, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic GEJ cancers. Additionally, two late-breaking oral presentations at WCLC will highlight efficacy and safety results from the ARTEMIDE-01 Phase I trial of rilvegostomig in patients with metastatic NSCLC, as well as from a Phase Ib/II trial of volrustomig (PD-1/CTLA-4) in combination with chemotherapy in the 1st-line for patients with advanced NSCLC. Key trend: powerful combinations to attack cancer from multiple angles In addition to the novel regimens evaluated in DESTINY-Lung03, DESTINY-Gastric03 and NeoCOAST-2, we are assessing further combination treatment approaches below to improve outcomes for patients: A late-breaking, Presidential Symposium presentation for TAGRISSO from the externally sponsored FLOWERS Phase II trial of TAGRISSO with or without savolitinib in patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC with MET aberrations will evaluate the potential of this novel combination to overcome mechanisms of resistance in the 1st-line setting. Two late-breaking mini-oral presentations at WCLC will highlight new data from the FLAURA2 Phase III trial of TAGRISSO plus chemotherapy in advanced EGFRm NSCLC, including efficacy in patients with high tumor burden and those whose cancers harbour TP53 mutations at baseline. A mini-oral presentation featuring five-year OS data from an exploratory analysis of the HIMALAYA Phase III trial of STRIDE (Single Tremelimumab-actl Regular Interval Durvalumab) in patients with unresectable liver cancer who have not received prior systemic therapy and are not eligible for localized treatment. These data represent the longest survival follow-up reported to date for a Phase III trial in this setting. Collaboration in the scientific community is critical to improving outcomes for patients. AstraZeneca is collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo Company Limited to develop and commercialize ENHERTU and datopotamab deruxtecan, collaborating with Merck & Co., Inc. (known as MSD outside the US and Canada) to develop and commercialize LYNPARZA ® (olaparib), and collaborating with HUTCHMED to develop and commercialize savolitinib . Rilvegostomig is a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody where the TIGIT component is derived from Compugen’s clinical stage anti-TIGIT antibody, COM902. AstraZeneca obtained full oncology rights to monalizumab from Innate Pharma in October 2018 through a co-development and commercialisation agreement initiated in 2015.

IMFINZI ® and IMJUDO ® There are no contraindications for IMFINZI ® (durvalumab) or IMJUDO ® (tremelimumab-actl). Severe and Fatal Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions Important immune-mediated adverse reactions listed under Warnings and Precautions may not include all possible severe and fatal immune-mediated reactions. Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment or after discontinuation. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate clinical chemistries including liver enzymes, creatinine, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) level, and thyroid function at baseline and before each dose. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI and IMJUDO depending on severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. In general, if IMFINZI and IMJUDO requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis, which may be fatal. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation. IMFINZI as a Single Agent In patients who did not receive recent prior radiation, the incidence of immune-mediated pneumonitis was 2.4% (34/1414), including fatal (<0.1%), and Grade 3-4 (0.4%) adverse reactions. In patients who received recent prior radiation, the incidence of pneumonitis (including radiation pneumonitis) in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC following definitive chemoradiation within 42 days prior to initiation of IMFINZI in PACIFIC was 18.3% (87/475) in patients receiving IMFINZI and 12.8% (30/234) in patients receiving placebo. Of the patients who received IMFINZI (475), 1.1% were fatal and 2.7% were Grade 3 adverse reactions. The frequency and severity of immune-mediated pneumonitis in patients who did not receive definitive chemoradiation prior to IMFINZI were similar in patients who received IMFINZI as a single agent or with ES-SCLC or BTC when given in combination with chemotherapy. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Immune‑mediated pneumonitis occurred in 1.3% (5/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including fatal (0.3%) and Grade 3 (0.2%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Immune-mediated pneumonitis occurred in 3.5% (21/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy, including fatal (0.5%), and Grade 3 (1%) adverse reactions. Immune-Mediated Colitis IMFINZI with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy can cause immune-mediated colitis, which may be fatal. IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated colitis that is frequently associated with diarrhea. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/reactivation has been reported in patients with corticosteroid-refractory immune-mediated colitis. In cases of corticosteroid-refractory colitis, consider repeating infectious workup to exclude alternative etiologies. IMFINZI as a Single Agent Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 2% (37/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 4 (<0.1%) and Grade 3 (0.4%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Immune‑mediated colitis or diarrhea occurred in 6% (23/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including Grade 3 (3.6%) adverse reactions. Intestinal perforation has been observed in other studies of IMFINZI and IMJUDO. IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 6.5% (39/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy including fatal (0.2%) and Grade 3 (2.5%) adverse reactions. Intestinal perforation and large intestine perforation were reported in 0.1% of patients. Immune-Mediated Hepatitis IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated hepatitis, which may be fatal. IMFINZI as a Single Agent Immune-mediated hepatitis occurred in 2.8% (52/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including fatal (0.2%), Grade 4 (0.3%) and Grade 3 (1.4%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Immune‑mediated hepatitis occurred in 7.5% (29/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including fatal (0.8%), Grade 4 (0.3%) and Grade 3 (4.1%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Immune-mediated hepatitis occurred in 3.9% (23/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy, including fatal (0.3%), Grade 4 (0.5%), and Grade 3 (2%) adverse reactions. Immune-Mediated Endocrinopathies Adrenal Insufficiency : IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency. For Grade 2 or higher adrenal insufficiency, initiate symptomatic treatment, including hormone replacement as clinically indicated. IMFINZI as a Single Agent Immune-mediated adrenal insufficiency occurred in 0.5% (9/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 3 (<0.1%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Immune-mediated adrenal insufficiency occurred in 1.5% (6/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO, including Grade 3 (0.3%) adverse reactions. IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Immune-mediated adrenal insufficiency occurred in 2.2% (13/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy, including Grade 3 (0.8%) adverse reactions. Hypophysitis : IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated hypophysitis. Hypophysitis can present with acute symptoms associated with mass effect such as headache, photophobia, or visual field cuts. Hypophysitis can cause hypopituitarism. Initiate symptomatic treatment including hormone replacement as clinically indicated. IMFINZI as a Single Agent Grade 3 hypophysitis/hypopituitarism occurred in <0.1% (1/1889) of patients who received IMFINZI. IMFINZI with IMJUDO Immune-mediated hypophysitis/hypopituitarism occurred in 1% (4/388) of patients receiving IMFINZI and IMJUDO. IMFINZI with IMJUDO and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy Immune-mediated hypophysitis occurred in 1.3% (8/596) of patients receiving IMFINZI in combination with IMJUDO and platinum-based chemotherapy, including Grade 3 (0.5%) adverse reactions. Thyroid Disorders (Thyroiditis, Hyperthyroidism, and Hypothyroidism) : IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause immune-mediated thyroid disorders. Thyroiditis can present with or without endocrinopathy. Hypothyroidism can follow hyperthyroidism. Initiate hormone replacement therapy for hypothyroidism or institute medical management of hyperthyroidism as clinically indicated. IMFINZI as a Single Agent Immune-mediated thyroiditis occurred in 0.5% (9/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 3 (<0.1%) adverse reactions. Immune-mediated hyperthyroidism occurred in 2.1% (39/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI.

Complications of Allogeneic HSCT after IMFINZI Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/L-1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on their mechanism of action and data from animal studies, IMFINZI and IMJUDO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR LYNPARZA® (olaparib) CONTRAINDICATIONS There are no contraindications for LYNPARZA. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in approximately 1.2% of patients with various BRCA m, g BRCA m, HRR gene-mutated or HRD-positive cancers who received LYNPARZA as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen, consistent with the approved indications, and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. The median duration of therapy in patients who developed MDS/AML was approximately 2 years (range: <6 months to >4 years). All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents, including radiotherapy. In SOLO-1, patients with newly diagnosed advanced BRCA m ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.9% (5/260) in patients who received LYNPARZA and 0.8% (1/130) in patients who received placebo based on an updated analysis. In PAOLA-1, of patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with HRD-positive status, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.6% (4/255) in patients who received LYNPARZA and 2.3% (3/131) in the control arm. In SOLO-2, patients with BRCA m platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 8% (15/195) in patients who received LYNPARZA and 4% (4/99) in patients who received placebo. The duration of LYNPARZA treatment prior to the diagnosis of MDS/AML ranged from 0.6 years to 4.5 years. Do not start LYNPARZA until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt LYNPARZA and monitor blood count weekly until recovery. If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. Discontinue LYNPARZA if MDS/AML is confirmed. Pneumonitis: Occurred in 0.8% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and some cases were fatal. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt LYNPARZA treatment and initiate prompt investigation. Discontinue LYNPARZA if pneumonitis is confirmed and treat patient appropriately. Venous Thromboembolism (VTE): Including severe or fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) occurred in patients treated with LYNPARZA. In the combined data of two randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies (PROfound and PROpel) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (N=1180), VTE occurred in 8% of patients who received LYNPARZA, including pulmonary embolism in 6%. In the control arms, VTE occurred in 2.5%, including pulmonary embolism in 1.5%. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and treat as medically appropriate, which may include long-term anticoagulation as clinically indicated. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, LYNPARZA can cause fetal harm. Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment. Females Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose. Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of LYNPARZA and to not donate sperm during this time.

文章解读+创新点拓展，为您带来科研新体验～ 导读 近年来，免疫检查点抑制剂（ICIs）在治疗错配修复缺陷（dMMR）和微卫星高度不稳定（MSI-H）的结直肠癌（CRC）方面取得了重大进展。最近的一项发表在Cancer Cell的研究性文章Remodeling of the immune and stromal cell compartment by PD-1 blockade in mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer，利用单细胞RNA测序（scRNA-seq）和多重荧光免疫组化技术（mIHC），揭示了ICI治疗前后免疫和间质细胞群的变化特征，为理解ICI治疗效果提供了重要线索。 研究背景 dMMR/MSI-H的结直肠癌因其较高的肿瘤新抗原负荷和更密集的免疫细胞浸润，被认为是免疫治疗的理想靶标。ICIs针对PD-1/PD-L1途径的阻断已证明在这一患者群体中非常有效。但是，ICIs如何引起病理完全缓解（pCR）以及肿瘤微环境中免疫细胞如何被重塑的具体机制仍有待探索。为了解决这些问题，李建霞等研究者采用了一系列先进的实验技术，包括单细胞RNA测序和多重荧光免疫组化，以深入探究ICI治疗的机制。 研究设计与结果 这项研究纳入了19名dMMR/MSI-H CRC患者，这些患者来自于一项前瞻性的临床2期研究，接受了新辅助性PD-1阻断剂toripalimab的治疗或者toripalimab加COX-2抑制剂celecoxib的联合治疗，其中15名患者达成病理完全缓解（pCR）。研究者共收集了40份样本进行单细胞RNA测序，其中包括27例pCR样本和15例非pCR样本。此外，还收集了74份血清样本用于细胞因子/趋化因子的量化，以及90份石蜡包埋（FFPE）样本用于多重荧光免疫组化染色。 单细胞RNA测序（scRNA-seq）技术允许研究者们在单细胞水平上量化每个细胞的基因表达模式，从而揭示细胞异质性和功能多样性。基于这项前沿技术及其后续的综合分析，研究人员对接受ICI治疗的dMMR/MSI-H结直肠癌患者的免疫和间质细胞群进行了全局分析（图1），揭示了细胞群在ICI治疗前后的动态变化，展示了整合所有样本后的聚类分析结果，这些样本被分为六个主要细胞类型集群，包括T/I/NK细胞（T细胞/先天淋巴细胞/NK细胞）、B细胞、髓系细胞、上皮细胞、内皮细胞和成纤维细胞。研究者们发现，在pCR的患者中，T/I/NK细胞、成纤维细胞和内皮细胞的频率在ICI治疗后显著增加，而在未达到pCR的患者中则没有这种趋势。 图1：对接受ICI治疗的d-MMR/MSI-H CRC患者的免疫和基质细胞群的全局分析 考虑到dMMR/MSI-H肿瘤中CD8+T细胞浸润较高，且是ICI治疗响应的关键之一，研究者首先关注了ICI治疗对CD8+ T细胞的影响（图2）。整体上看，pCR患者CD8+T细胞展现出细胞毒性上调而非pCR患者则展现出耗竭和增殖的上调。其中，pCR患者在ICI治疗后CD8+ Tem细胞比例显著增加，而CD8+ Trm-mitotic细胞的比例下降，前者富集了细胞毒性特征而后者富集了耗竭特征。进一步分析发现（图3），ICI不仅增加了CD8+ Tem细胞比例，也上调了抗原呈递和细胞杀伤能力；此外，ICI还上调了CD8+ Trm细胞的杀伤能力，尽管这些细胞也表现出耗竭的特征。这些结果揭示了CD8+ T对ICI治疗响应的重要作用。 图2：CD8 T细胞的细胞毒性和增殖程序中与ICI相关的变化 图3：ICI相关变化与CD8+ Trm转录组改变之间的共同特征 对其它免疫细胞分析后，研究者发现，ICI治疗后，pCR患者肿瘤组织中CD4+Treg减少，而多种CD4+辅助T细胞（Th）增加，特别是CD40LG+CD4+Th的增加可能抑制了CD8+T细胞的耗竭；同时，CD20+ B细胞增加，并与CD8+ T细胞的变化相关，其中生发中心B细胞（Bgc）增加最为显著（图4）。此外，研究者还发现pCR患者ICI治疗后具有促炎特征的IL1B+单核细胞显著减少，并且残留的IL1B+单核细胞炎症反应减弱（图5）。这些结果进一步揭示了ICI如何重塑肿瘤免疫微环境以增强肿瘤细胞杀伤。 图4：CD4+ Th和CD20+ B细胞在ICI治疗后协同扩张 图5：ICI治疗后髓系细胞的促炎程序减少 内皮细胞和成纤维细胞等间质细胞也是肿瘤免疫微环境的重要参与者，前者在治疗后pCR患者的肿瘤组织中减少而后者则增加，而非pCR患者则没有这种变化（图1）。基于进一步聚类（图6）后发现肌成纤维细胞、CXCL12+成纤维细胞和HLA-DRA+内皮细胞增加而PLVAP+内皮细胞和CCL2+成纤维细胞则减少。CXCL12+成纤维细胞与免疫细胞CXCR4表达上调相关，提示成纤维细胞通过CXCL12-CXCR4轴参与免疫细胞募集。 HLA-DRA+内皮细胞则可能通过增强向CD4+T细胞的抗原呈递从而加强对肿瘤的免疫反应。而PLVAP+内皮细胞和CCL2+成纤维细胞则表达促炎和促肿瘤因子IL-32并可能参与炎性细胞募集。这些结果进一步深化了对ICI后肿瘤免疫微环境重构的认识。 图6：ICI处理后的基质细胞重塑 最后，研究者总结了pCR患者和非pCR患者ICI治疗前后微环境各类细胞的变化（图7A&B），发现促炎表型与免疫抑制微环境关系密切，比如促炎的IL1B+单核细胞与CD8+T细胞的耗竭和增殖相关（图7C）以及Treg的分子表型与炎症诱导的Treg相似等。基于本项研究，研究者全面描绘了ICI前后pCR患者和非pCR患者肿瘤微环境重塑的特征，并推测促炎细胞和分子是影响ICI治疗响应率的重要因素和潜在的干预靶点。 图7：促炎的IL1B+ Mono细胞在非pCR组中富集 研究者基于对单细胞测序结果的分析，描绘了ICI治疗前后pCR患者和非pCR患者肿瘤微环境的变化，这需要进一步的组织学验证，为此，研究者还采用了多色免疫荧光技术进行多重免疫组化（mIHC）技术，检测了ICI治疗前后pCR患者和非pCR患者多种肿瘤微环境细胞在肿瘤组织中的分布（图4C、5E、7D），得到了与scRNA-seq一致的结果。相比于传统组织学染色，mIHC技术使研究者得以通过多种标记在组织样本上更精细地区分细胞亚类及其分布，直观地展现了ICI治疗和疗效相关的肿瘤微环境细胞类型和功能重塑。 拓展延伸 ● 单细胞RNA测序（scRNA-seq） 单细胞RNA测序技术近年来得到了迅速发展，它能够以单细胞分辨率对细胞内的转录组进行测序，从而揭示细胞间的异质性及其生物学功能。除了在本研究中对免疫细胞和间质细胞的动态变化进行探究外，scRNA-seq在其他科研领域也有广泛的应用： 1. 发育生物学：通过对不同发育阶段的细胞进行scRNA-seq分析，科学家们可以追踪细胞分化轨迹，揭示干细胞向各种成熟细胞类型转变的过程。 2. 神经科学：该技术被用于研究大脑中不同区域细胞类型的多样性，帮助理解神经元和胶质细胞的功能特性和相互作用。 3. 癌症研究：除了本文讨论的结直肠癌免疫微环境，scRNA-seq也被广泛应用于乳腺癌、肺癌等其他类型癌症的研究，以探索肿瘤异质性、耐药机制和转移潜能。 4. 再生医学：在组织工程和再生医学领域，scRNA-seq被用来研究干细胞的分化潜力，指导组织再生过程中的细胞命运决定。 ● 多重荧光免疫组化（multiplex immunohistochemistry, mIHC） 多重荧光免疫组化是一种能够同时检测组织样本中多个抗原的技术，通常与高分辨率成像系统结合使用。它的优势在于能够提供细胞的空间定位信息，这对于理解细胞间相互作用至关重要。mIHC技术的应用领域包括： 1. 免疫学：通过mIHC技术，研究人员能够详细描绘免疫细胞在感染或疾病状态下的空间分布，以及它们与其他细胞类型之间的相互作用。 2. 肿瘤微环境：mIHC被广泛应用于研究肿瘤微环境中的免疫细胞浸润，特别是T细胞、巨噬细胞和树突状细胞等，这对于理解肿瘤发生和发展过程中的免疫逃逸机制非常重要。 3. 神经系统疾病：在阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病等神经退行性疾病的研究中，mIHC可用于识别特定的神经细胞类型和炎性细胞的分布，帮助揭示疾病的发病机制。 4. 传染病：在HIV、COVID-19等病毒性感染的研究中，mIHC可以用来研究病毒在宿主细胞中的分布和免疫细胞的反应。 临床应用与展望 本研究为理解ICI治疗在dMMR/MSI-H结直肠癌中的作用机制提供了重要线索，并为进一步的临床转化奠定了基础。随着更多相关研究的展开，我们有望看到免疫治疗领域取得更大的突破，为患者带来更多的希望。 综上所述，这项研究不仅揭示了ICI治疗在dMMR/MSI-H结直肠癌中的作用机制，也展示了单细胞RNA测序和多重荧光免疫组化技术在理解免疫微环境重塑方面的巨大潜力。这些发现为未来的临床实践提供了重要的参考，并预示着免疫治疗领域将会有更多的突破。 注：本文旨在介绍医学研究进展，不做治疗方案推荐。如有需要，请咨询专业临床医生。 参考文献 Li J, Wu C, Hu H, Qin G, Wu X, Bai F, Zhang J, Cai Y, Huang Y, Wang C, Yang J, Luan Y, Jiang Z, Ling J, Wu Z, Chen Y, Xie Z, Deng Y.
