Abstract
Purpose: In this phase Ib/II study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PDR001, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in combination with imatinib in patients with treatment-refractory gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
Patients and methods: Advanced GIST patients whose disease had progressed on imatinib, sunitinib, and regorafenib were enrolled. In phase Ib, the standard 3+3 dose escalation scheme was applied. PDR001 400 mg intravenously every 4 weeks plus imatinib (300 mg and 400 mg daily for dose levels I and II, respectively) was given. The primary outcome for phase II was the disease control rate (DCR) at 12 weeks. Exploratory biomarker analysis was performed based on PD-L1 immunohistochemistry, next-generation sequencing, and multiplexed immunohistochemistry.
Results: No dose-limiting toxicity was observed in the phase Ib part (n=10), and dose level 2 was selected as the recommended phase II dose. In the phase II part (n=29), there was no objective response and the DCR at 12 weeks was 37.9%, not meeting the primary efficacy endpoint. For patients in phase Ib-dose level II and phase II (n=36), the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 2.3 and 9.5 months, respectively. The most common grade 3-4 adverse event was anemia. Exploratory biomarker analysis indicated that a higher CD8+ T cell density was associated with a favorable PFS, but to a limited degree. Tumor mutation burden and PD-L1 were not associated with better PFS.
Conclusion: In patients with treatment-refractory GIST, PDR001 in combination with imatinib was generally tolerable, but it was not effective.
