    Abstract: Purpose: We assessed the safety and efficacy of synchronous VEGF and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) blockade with concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) in locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC). Experimental Design: Newly diagnosed patients with stage III/IV HNC received a 2-week lead-in of bevacizumab and/or erlotinib, followed by both agents with concurrent cisplatin and twice daily radiotherapy. Safety was assessed using Common Toxicity Criteria version 3.0. The primary efficacy endpoint was clinical complete response (CR) rate after CRT. Results: Twenty-nine patients enrolled on study, with 27 completing therapy. Common grade III toxicities were mucositis (n = 14), dysphagia (n = 8), dehydration (n = 7), osteoradionecrosis (n = 3), and soft tissue necrosis (n = 2). Feeding tube placement was required in 79% but no patient remained dependent at 12-month posttreatment. Clinical CR after CRT was 96% [95% confidence interval (CI), 82%–100%]. Median follow-up was 46 months in survivors, with 3-year locoregional control and distant metastasis-free survival rates of 85% and 93%. Three-year estimated progression-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival rates were 82%, 89%, and 86%, respectively. Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) analysis showed that patients who had failed had lower baseline pretreatment median Ktrans values, with subsequent increases after lead-in therapy and 1 week of CRT. Patients who did not fail had higher median Ktrans values that decreased during therapy. Conclusions: Dual VEGF/EGFR inhibition can be integrated with CRT in locally advanced HNC, with efficacy that compares favorably with historical controls albeit with an increased risk of osteoradionecrosis. Pretreatment and early DCE-MRI may prospectively identify patients at high risk of failure. Clin Cancer Res; 18(5); 1404–14. ©2012 AACR.

    Effects of Selective Checkpoint Kinase 1 Inhibition on Cytarabine Cytotoxicity in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Cells In Vitro
    American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ; 2012

    Abstract: Purpose: Previous studies have shown that the replication checkpoint, which involves the kinases ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3 related (ATR) and Chk1, contributes to cytarabine resistance in cell lines. In the present study, we examined whether this checkpoint is activated in clinical acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) during cytarabine infusion in vivo and then assessed the impact of combining cytarabine with the recently described Chk1 inhibitor SCH 900776 in vitro. Experimental design: AML marrow aspirates harvested before and during cytarabine infusion were examined by immunoblotting. Human AML lines treated with cytarabine in the absence or presence of SCH 900776 were assayed for checkpoint activation by immunoblotting, nucleotide incorporation into DNA, and flow cytometry. Long-term effects in AML lines, clinical AML isolates, and normal myeloid progenitors were assayed using clonogenic assays. Results: Immunoblotting revealed increased Chk1 phosphorylation, a marker of checkpoint activation, in more than half of Chk1-containing AMLs after 48 hours of cytarabine infusion. In human AML lines, SCH 900776 not only disrupted cytarabine-induced Chk1 activation and S-phase arrest but also markedly increased cytarabine-induced apoptosis. Clonogenic assays demonstrated that SCH 900776 enhanced the antiproliferative effects of cytarabine in AML cell lines and clinical AML samples at concentrations that had negligible impact on normal myeloid progenitors. Conclusions: These results not only provide evidence for cytarabine-induced S-phase checkpoint activation in AML in the clinical setting, but also show that a selective Chk1 inhibitor can overcome the S-phase checkpoint and enhance the cytotoxicity of cytarabine. Accordingly, further investigation of the cytarabine/SCH 900776 combination in AML appears warranted. Clin Cancer Res; 18(19); 5364–73. ©2012 AACR.

    Biomarker Analyses from a Placebo-Controlled Phase II Study Evaluating Erlotinib ± Onartuzumab in Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: MET Expression Levels Are Predictive of Patient Benefit
    American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ; 2014

    In: Clinical Cancer Research, American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), Vol. 20, No. 17 ( 2014-09-01), p. 4488-4498
    Abstract: Purpose: In a recent phase II study of onartuzumab (MetMAb), patients whose non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue scored as positive for MET protein by immunohistochemistry (IHC) experienced a significant benefit with onartuzumab plus erlotinib (O+E) versus erlotinib. We describe development and validation of a standardized MET IHC assay and, retrospectively, evaluate multiple biomarkers as predictors of patient benefit. Experimental Design: Biomarkers related to MET and/or EGF receptor (EGFR) signaling were measured by IHC, FISH, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, mutation detection techniques, and ELISA. Results: A positive correlation between IHC, Western blotting, and MET mRNA expression was observed in NSCLC cell lines/tissues. An IHC scoring system of MET expression taking proportional and intensity-based thresholds into consideration was applied in an analysis of the phase II study and resulted in the best differentiation of outcomes. Further analyses revealed a nonsignificant overall survival (OS) improvement with O+E in patients with high MET copy number (mean ≥5 copies/cell by FISH); however, benefit was maintained in “MET IHC-positive”/MET FISH-negative patients (HR, 0.37; P = 0.01). MET, EGFR, amphiregulin, epiregulin, or HGF mRNA expression did not predict a significant benefit with onartuzumab; a nonsignificant OS improvement was observed in patients with high tumor MET mRNA levels (HR, 0.59; P = 0.23). Patients with low baseline plasma hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) exhibited an HR for OS of 0.519 (P = 0.09) in favor of onartuzumab treatment. Conclusions: MET IHC remains the most robust predictor of OS and progression-free survival benefit from O+E relative to all examined exploratory markers. Clin Cancer Res; 20(17); 4488–98. ©2014 AACR.

    An Integrated Genomic Screen Identifies LDHB as an Essential Gene for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
    American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ; 2012

    Abstract: Breast cancer has been redefined into three clinically relevant subclasses: (i) estrogen/progesterone receptor positive (ER+/PR+), (ii) HER2/ERRB2 positive, and (iii) those lacking expression of all three markers (triple negative or basal-like). While targeted therapies for ER+/PR+ and HER2+ tumors have revolutionized patient treatment and increased lifespan, an urgent need exists for identifying novel targets for triple-negative breast cancers. Here, we used integrative genomic analysis to identify candidate oncogenes in triple-negative breast tumors and assess their function through loss of function screening. Using this approach, we identify lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB), a component of glycolytic metabolism, as an essential gene in triple-negative breast cancer. Loss of LDHB abrogated cell proliferation in vitro and arrested tumor growth in fully formed tumors in vivo. We find that LDHB and other related glycolysis genes are specifically upregulated in basal-like/triple-negative breast cancers as compared with other subtypes, suggesting that these tumors are distinctly glycolytic. Consistent with this, triple-negative breast cancer cell lines were more dependent on glycolysis for growth than luminal cell lines. Finally, we find that patients with breast cancer and high LDHB expression in their tumors had a poor clinical outcome. While previous studies have focused on the ubiquitous role of LDHA in tumor metabolism and growth, our data reveal that LDHB is upregulated and required only in certain cancer genotypes. These findings suggest that targeting LDHB or other components of lactate metabolism would be of clinical benefit in triple-negative breast cancer. Cancer Res; 72(22); 5812–23. ©2012 AACR.

    Abstract: Purpose: The objectives of the study were to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of PX-866 in patients with incurable cancers. Experimental Design: This was a phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study. Drug was administered orally once per day either on an intermittent (arm 1; days 1–5 and 8–12 of a 28-day cycle) or continuous (arm 2; days 1–28 of a 28-day cycle) schedule. Additional patients were treated at the arm 2 MTD in a food effects substudy. Results: Eighty-four patients were treated in the arm 1 (n = 51), arm 2 (n = 20), and food effects (n = 13) cohorts. The most frequent study drug–related adverse events were gastrointestinal disorders (69.0%), with diarrhea being the most common (48.8%). The MTD was 12 and 8 mg for arm 1 and 2, respectively. The dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) consisted of grade III diarrhea (n = 3) and grade III elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST; n = 1). The pharmacokinetics profile was dose proportional, with no evidence of drug accumulation. PX-866–associated inhibition of platelet pAKTSER473 was observed at the arm 2 MTD. The best response per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) was stable disease in 22% of evaluable patients in arm 1, 53% in arm 2, and 11% in the food effects cohort. Eight patients were on study for 4 or more months. Conclusions: This first-in-human study shows that PX-866, an irreversible small-molecule inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), was well tolerated and was associated with prolonged stable disease, particularly when using a continuous dosing schedule.
