I 《Inosine enhances the efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in advanced solid tumors: A randomized, controlled, Phase 2 study》

' n8 a9 z& A. w" O& d/ JBackground: This study aimed to evaluate whether inosine enhances the efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors in human malignant solid tumors.

+ Q$ n- ^7 I: [0 t) f  W1 `( hMethods: This single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label study was conducted, from January 2021 to December 2022, in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, and participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to either the inosine (trial) or non-inosine (control) group that received inosine (dosage: 0.2 g, three times/day) + PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor or only PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor ± targeted ± chemotherapy, respectively. Efficacy was assessed every 6 weeks (i.e., after every two-three treatment cycles). The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints were disease control rate, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05809336).

8 ?! K5 W7 S% m( c9 k8 j6 AResults: Among the 172 participants with advanced malignant solid tumors, 86 each were assigned to the inosine and non-inosine groups, wherein the median PFS (95% CI) was 7.00 (5.31-8.69) and 4.40 (3.10-5.70) months, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.63; 95% CI 0.44-0.90, p = 0.011), and the ORR was 26.7% and 15.1%, respectively (p = 0.061). In the inosine and non-inosine groups, the median OS was not reached and was 29.67 (95% CI 17.40-41.94) months, respectively (HR 1.05 [95% CI 0.59-1.84], p = 0.874). Compared with the non-inosine group, the median PFS and ORR of the inosine group were significantly prolonged and improved in the multiple exploratory subgroup analyses. The safety analysis showed that Grades 3 and 4 adverse reactions occurred in 25 (29%) and 31 (36%) patients in the inosine and non-inosine groups, respectively, and tended to decrease in the inosine group compared with the non-inosine group.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor rechallenge has emerged as a prominent study area in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). β-glucan was reported to reverse resistance to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors by regulating the tumor microenvironment. In this self-initiated clinical trial (ChiCTR2100054796), NSCLC participants who have previously failed anti-PD-1 therapy received β-glucan (500 mg, bid, d1-21), Envafolimab (300 mg, d1) and Endostar (210 mg, civ72h) every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The clinical efficacy and adverse events were observed, while serum samples were collected for proteomic analysis.
  C' z1 ?" H7 ]; Q
Results: Twenty Three patients were enrolled from January 2022 to March 2023 (median age, 65 years; male, n = 18 [78.3%]; squamous NSCLC, n = 9 [39.1%]; mutant type, n = 13 [56.5%]). The overall response rate (ORR) was 21.7% and disease control rate (DCR) was 73.9%. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) was 4.3 months [95% CI: 2.0-6.6] and 9.8 months [95% CI: 7.2-12.4], respectively. The mPFS between PD-L1 positive and negative subgroup has significant difference (6.3 months vs. 2.3 months, p = 0.002). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 52.2% of patients. The most common TRAEs were hypothyroidism (26.1%) and fatigue (26.1%). 2 (8.7%) grade 3 adverse events were reported. No adverse reaction related deaths have been observed. Proteomic analysis revealed that the levels of CASP-8, ARG1, MMP12, CD28 and CXCL5 correlated with resistance to the treatment while the levels of CD40-L and EGF related to the favorable response.

Conclusion: β-glucan combined with Envafolimab and Endostar has considerable efficacy and safety for immune rechallenge in metastatic NSCLC patients who failed of anti-PD-1 treatment previously, especially for PD-L1 positive patients.
