Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present application is in the field of biopharmaceuticals, and specifically relates to drugs for treating tumors. [Background technology]
[0002] Endometrial cancer (EC), also known as uterine cancer, is a group of epithelial malignant tumors that originate in the uterine lining and is one of the three most common malignancies in the female reproductive tract. It is common in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. As life expectancy increases and lifestyle changes occur, the incidence of endometrial cancer has continued to rise over the past 20 years, with a trend toward younger patients. In Western countries, endometrial cancer is the most common type of female reproductive system malignancy. In Japan, it is the second most common gynecological malignancy after cervical cancer, accounting for approximately 20–30% of all gynecological malignancies. In some developed cities, endometrial cancer is the most common type of gynecological malignancy. The postoperative recurrence rate for stage I and II patients is approximately 15%, with 50–70% of recurrences being symptomatic. Most recurrences occur within three years of treatment. Localized recurrences in the vagina or pelvic cavity are successfully treated. Isolated vaginal recurrence has a 50-70% 5-year survival rate after radiation therapy.
[0003] Treatment of endometrial cancer is primarily based on surgery, often combined with comprehensive treatments such as radiation therapy, drug therapy, and hormone therapy. Patients with estrogen-dependent, early-stage endometrial cancer who have not previously conceived typically receive conservative treatment with progesterone to preserve fertility. Patients with advanced-stage endometrial cancer require appropriate chemotherapy to reduce tumor volume before surgery, and rational selection of chemotherapy agents can significantly increase surgical resection rates. For metastatic and recurrent endometrial cancer, currently commonly used hormonal agents such as progesterone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs, and aromatase inhibitors, as well as chemotherapy agents such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and doxorubicin, are used. Due to the emergence of chemotherapy resistance, targeted drug therapies such as pembrolizumab, avelumab, bevacizumab, sorafenib, and sunitinib have significant potential for improving the efficacy and prognosis of endometrial cancer.
[0004] Microsatellites (MS), also known as short tandem repeats (STRs), are DNA sequences consisting of several nucleotides (usually 1–6) repeated in tandem in the cellular genome. When DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is impaired, replication errors in microsatellites accumulate uncorrected, resulting in changes in the length or base composition of microsatellites. This is called microsatellite instability (MSI), and leads to a hypermutable genomic phenotype. MSI can be divided into three categories based on the degree of MSI: microsatellite high instability (MSI-H), microsatellite low instability (MSI-L), and microsatellite stability (MSS).
[0005] Programmed cell death protein 1 and its ligand (PD-1 / PD-L1) are a pair of immune co-stimulatory factors. PD-1 normally exerts its immunomodulatory effects through its ligand PD-L1. Activation of the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway leads to the formation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that allows tumor cells to escape from the host's immune surveillance and killing. Blocking the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway reverses the tumor immune microenvironment and enhances the intrinsic antitumor immune effect. can be increased. Summary of the Invention

In a specific embodiment, MSI is detected using multiplex fluorescent PCR (polymerase chain reaction). For example, MSI status is detected using commercially available kit products. In some embodiments, multiplex fluorescent PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is used to detect microsatellite locations, and interpretation criteria vary depending on the number of loci in the kit. The MSI status (e.g., MSI-H (microsatellite high instability), MSI-L (microsatellite low instability), or MSS (microsatellite stable)) is determined based on the criteria of commercially available qualified kit products.
[0156] In the present application, MMR status (e.g., dMMR) can be detected by methods well known in the art, such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect MMR proteins. For example, four MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) are primarily detected in tumor samples from patients. If any of the MMR proteins is absent, the patient is classified as dMMR, and if no MMR protein is absent, the patient is classified as non-dMMR. The absence of MMR protein expression can be determined according to the criteria of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), for example, by detecting the location of microsatellites using PCR.
[0157] In some embodiments, detection by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and / or ICH (immunohistochemistry) determines whether the endometrial cancer is MSI-H or dMMR, or whether the endometrial cancer is non-MSI-H or non-dMMR.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0187] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples, but the scope of the present application is not limited to these examples. All reagents used in the present application are commercially available products and can be used without purification. In the examples, anti-PD-L1 antibodies are produced according to the method described in WO2016022630, and after affinity chromatography, an eluate containing the antibody is obtained using conventional antibody purification methods.
[0188] Example 1: Phase II clinical trial for endometrial cancer Patients with endometrial cancer who met the inclusion criteria were initially assessed for MMR / MSI status by immunohistochemistry or PCR. Enrollment was based on MSI-H / dMMR detection. Non-MSI-H / non-dMMR patients received an anti-PD-L1 antibody and anlotinib hydrochloride (Cohort 1), while MSI-H or dMMR patients received an anti-PD-L1 antibody (Cohort 2). Patients achieving disease control (CR+PR+SD) and tolerable treatment-related adverse events were able to continue treatment. The study was terminated when clinical benefit was lost, toxicity was unacceptable, efficacy was assessed as PD / iCPD, and the investigator deemed the patient unsuitable for further treatment. Efficacy assessments were conducted every 6 weeks (42 days) ± 3 days from the first day of the first treatment cycle, and again every 12 weeks (84 days) ± 3 days after 54 weeks. Patients were followed until tumor imaging-based disease progression.
[0189] 1.1 Main recruitment criteria: 1) Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable recurrent or metastatic advanced endometrial cancer (previously treated with first- or second-line standard systemic chemotherapy with treatment failure or intolerance. Previous neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy may also be administered).
[0190] 2) evidence of at least one measurable site of disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1);
[0191] 3) Age: 18 years or older, ECOG PS score: 0-1 point, expected survival time: 3 months or longer.
[0192] 1.2 Test drug Anti-PD-L1 antibody injection hu5G11-hIgG1: 1200 mg of anti-PD-L1 antibody injection (specification: 600 mg / 20 mL) was diluted to 250 mL with normal saline, and the infusion time was 60 ± 10 minutes (the starting point for the infusion of the anti-PD-L1 antibody injection was the start point, and the end point was the completion of the anti-PD-L1 antibody injection infusion and the completion of flushing with normal saline (recommended 20 mL)). The anti-PD-L1 antibody injection was administered on the first day and once every 21 days, i.e., 21 days constituted one treatment cycle (d1 / q3w).
[0193] Anlotinib hydrochloride capsules (active ingredient: anlotinib dihydrochloride): Take one capsule (12 mg) once daily (orally before breakfast on an empty stomach). This consists of two consecutive weeks of oral administration followed by one week of rest, making a 21-day treatment cycle. Administration is on days 1-14 of each cycle. Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended to take the medication at the same time each day (i.e., anlotinib hydrochloride capsules: 12 mg / qd, days 1-14 / q3w). The investigator may adjust the dose of anlotinib hydrochloride capsules, for example, to 12 mg, 10 mg, or 8 mg, based on disease status and safety.
[0194] 1.3 Evaluation Criteria Safety evaluation criteria: The NCI-CTC AE 5.0 criteria will be adopted to judge the severity of adverse events.
[0195] Efficacy evaluation criteria: RECIST 1.1 and iRECIST criteria are used to determine the disease status. Evaluation is primarily based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, and efficacy is also confirmed using iRECIST criteria. That is, subjects who are determined to have progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria are further confirmed using iRECIST criteria to determine whether further treatment and observation are necessary.
[0196] 1.4 Endpoint Indicators Primary endpoint: objective response rate (ORR) assessed by IRC. Secondary endpoints: (1) Investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of remission (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and DOR rate (≥6 months), etc.; (2) incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), and abnormal clinical laboratory indicators.
[0197] 1.5 Results Preliminary studies have shown that the combination of anlotinib hydrochloride and anti-PD-L1 antibodies can safely and effectively treat non-MSI-H and / or non-dMMR endometrial cancer, demonstrating clinical benefit in patients. As of the data collection date, 22 patients in Cohort 1 (anlotinib hydrochloride and anti-PD-L1 antibody combination group) had completed at least two treatment cycles. Of these, 14 patients (14 / 22) achieved stable disease (SD), 5 patients (5 / 22) achieved partial response (PR), and 1 patient (1 / 22) achieved complete response (CR). The objective response rate (ORR) was 27.27%, the disease control rate (DCR) was 90.91%, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events was 75%, and the incidence of grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events was 7%. See Table 1 for details.
[0198] Preliminary studies have shown that anti-PD-L1 antibodies can safely and effectively treat MSI-H and / or dMMR tumors, particularly MSI-H and / or dMMR endometrial cancer, and provide clinical benefit to patients. As of the data collection date, six patients in Cohort 2 (anti-PD-L1 antibody group) had completed at least two treatment cycles. Two patients (2 / 6) achieved stable disease (SD) and one patient (1 / 6) achieved partial remission (PR). The objective response rate reached 16.67%, the disease control rate reached 50.00%, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) was 67%, and the incidence of grade 3 or higher AEs was 16%. See Table 1 for details.
[0199] [Table 1] *: For one of the subjects, the best immediate response was iUPD (iRECIST criteria), and further efficacy evaluation is required. **: Three of these patients currently have the best response according to iUPD (iRECIST criteria), and further evaluation of the response is required.
