Title A phase 1 study of AS1409, a novel antibody-cytokine fusion protein, in patients with malignant melanoma or renal cell carcinoma.
URL
Abstract Text AS1409 is a fusion protein comprising a humanized antibody BC1 linked to interleukin-12 (IL-12). It is designed to deliver IL-12 to tumor-associated vasculature using an antibody targeting the ED-B variant of fibronectin.We conducted a phase 1 trial of weekly infusional AS1409 in renal carcinoma and malignant melanoma patients. Safety, efficacy, markers of IL-12-mediated immune response, and pharmacokinetics were evaluated.A total of 11 melanoma and 2 renal cell carcinoma patients were treated. Doses of 15 and 25 μg/kg were studied. Most drug-related adverse events were grade 2 or less, and included pyrexia, fatigue, chills, headache, vomiting, and transient liver function abnormalities. Three dose limiting toxicities of grade 3 fatigue and transaminase elevation were seen at 25 μg/kg. IFN-γ and interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) were elevated in all patients, indicating activation of cell-mediated immune response; this was attenuated at subsequent cycles. Antidrug antibody responses were seen in all patients, although bioassays indicate these do not neutralize AS1409 activity. Plasma half-life was 22 hours and not dose-dependent. Five patients received 6 cycles or more and a best response of at least stable disease was seen in 6 (46%) patients. Partial response was seen in a melanoma patient, and disease shrinkage associated with metabolic response was maintained beyond 12 months in another melanoma patient despite previous rapid progression.The maximum tolerated dose was established at 15 μg/kg weekly. AS1409 is well tolerated at this dose. Evidence of efficacy assessed by RECIST, functional imaging, and biomarker response warrants the planned further investigation using this dose and schedule in malignant melanoma.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

AS1409 AS1409 is a fusion protein comprising BC1 and interleukin-12 (IL-12), which allows recognition of the extra-domain B(ED-B) fibronectin isoform present in tumor cells and directly delivers IL-12 to the tumor thereby stimulating an immunological response (PMID: 21447719).
