Clinical activity and immune modulation in cancer patients treated with CP-870,893, a novel CD40 agonist monoclonal antibody.
Journal of Clinical Oncology 2007 March 2
PURPOSE: The cell-surface molecule CD40 activates antigen-presenting cells and enhances immune responses. CD40 is also expressed by solid tumors, but its engagement results in apoptosis. CP-870,893, a fully human and selective CD40 agonist monoclonal antibody (mAb), was tested for safety in a phase I dose-escalation study.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced solid tumors received single doses of CP-870,893 intravenously. The primary objective was to determine safety and the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary objectives included assessment of immune modulation and tumor response.
RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients received CP-870,893 in doses from 0.01 to 0.3 mg/kg. Dose-limiting toxicity was observed in two of seven patients at the 0.3 mg/kg dose level (venous thromboembolism and grade 3 headache). MTD was estimated as 0.2 mg/kg. The most common adverse event was cytokine release syndrome (grade 1 to 2) which included chills, rigors, and fever. Transient laboratory abnormalities affecting lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, D-dimer and liver function tests were observed 24 to 48 hours after infusion. Four patients with melanoma (14% of all patients and 27% of melanoma patients) had objective partial responses at restaging (day 43). CP-870,893 infusion resulted in transient depletion of CD19+ B cells in blood (93% depletion at the MTD for < 1 week). Among B cells remaining in blood, we found a dose-related upregulation of costimulatory molecules after treatment.
CONCLUSION: The CD40 agonist mAb CP-870,893 was well tolerated and biologically active, and was associated with antitumor activity. Further studies of repeated doses of CP-870,893 alone and in combination with other antineoplastic agents are warranted.
