A Window of Opportunity Trial Evaluating the Oral TGF-beta Receptor I Inhibitor Vactosertib in Patients Undergoing Standard of Care Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

This interventional clinical trial aims to find ways of improving treatments for individuals with esophageal cancer. Laboratory-based studies show that using medicines that affect a protein called TGF-beta (TGFβ) can kill esophageal cancer cells in individuals who have localized esophageal adenocarcinoma and are being considered for standard-of-care chemoradiation prior to surgery. Participants of this study will take a pill called vactosertib for two weeks before starting standard of care chemoradiation. At the end of the two weeks of taking vactosertib, participants will have a Positron Emission Tomography Computer Assisted Tomography (PET CT) scan and undergo an endoscopy with a biopsy to determine if the vactosertib is working. After chemoradiation, participants will take vactosertib again for four weeks and then be considered for surgery.

Harnessing the Engineered Probiotic‐Nanosystem to Remodulate Tumor Extracellular Matrix and Regulate Tumor‐Colonizing Bacteria for Improving Pancreatic Cancer Chemo‐Immunotherapy

Article

Author: Meng, Ran ; Lin, Yan‐Tong ; Chen, Wei‐Hai ; Yao, Wei‐Qin ; Wang, Jia‐Wei ; Song, Wen‐Fang ; Zhang, Xian‐Zheng ; Deng, Xin‐Chen

AbstractPoor chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic cancer is attributed to limited drug permeation caused by the dense extracellular matrix (ECM) and drug degradation induced by tumor‐colonizing bacteria. Here, a tumor‐targeting probiotic‐nanosystem is elaborately designed to remodulate ECM and selectively regulate tumor‐colonizing bacteria for improving chemo‐immunotherapy against pancreatic cancer. Specifically, drug‐loaded liposomes are conjugated with Clostridium Butyricum (CB) via matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2)‐responsive peptide to construct a probiotic‐nanosystem. Particularly, vactosertib (VAC, a transforming growth factor‐β1 receptor inhibitor) is delivered by probiotic‐nanosystem to silence the active pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) for inhibiting the development of ECM, resulting in a loosened ECM and providing a golden opportunity for the deep penetration of chemotherapy drugs and immune cells. Subsequently, gemcitabine (GEM) is efficiently delivered into the core of tumors via probiotic‐nanosystem, achieving an enhanced chemotherapy efficacy. Noteworthily, CB can alleviate γ‐proteobacteria‐mediated GEM degradation through competitively reducing the contents of γ‐proteobacteria and promoting the amounts of tumor‐inhibiting bacteria, thereby significantly potentiating the therapeutic effect of GEM. The engineered probiotic‐nanosystem can not only enhance the GEM‐induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) of a pancreatic tumor to activate antitumor immune responses but also markedly increase the tumor‐infiltration of effector immune cells to heighten tumoricidal immunity, offering a promising strategy for chemo‐immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer.

Quantification of Vactosertib an Inhibitor of TGFBR1 by LC–MS/MS in Rat Plasma and Its Pharmacokinetic Profiling

Article

Author: Boggavarapu, Rajesh Kumar ; Konidala, Sathish Kumar ; Chimakurthy, Jithendra

ABSTRACTVactosertib, an inhibitor of transforming growth factor β‐receptor type‐1 (TGFBR1) effective in preventing tumor cell proliferation, is approved for treating various cancers by FDA. The literature revealed that no LC–MS/MS method was reported for the quantification of vactosertib. To develop a validated LC–MS/MS method for the quantification of vactosertib in rat plasma, vactosertib and cabozantinib (internal standard [IS]) were detected using Waters LC–MS/MS system in MRM positive ionization mode, with a mixture of 0.2% formic acid and acetonitrile (70:30, v/v) on an Agilent XDB C18 (50 × 2.1 mm, 5 μm) column at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The method was validated in accordance with M10 bioanalytical method validation USFDA guidelines and applied for the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters in rat plasma. The analytes were detected at m/z 400.23 → 289.19 and m/z 502.13 → 323.07 for vactosertib, and IS, respectively. The method demonstrated a sensitivity of 1.0 ng/mL, linearity ranging from 1.0 to 1000.0 ng/mL, an r2 of 0.999, accuracy ranged between 91.60% and 100.70%, and the drug was found to be stable across all freeze–thaw cycles. The results indicated that the method was selective, accurate, and validated for quantification of vactosertib in biological fluids and pharmacokinetic profiling of vactosertib.

Inhibition of the Transforming Growth Factor‐β Signaling Pathway Confers Neuroprotective Effects on Beta‐Amyloid‐Induced Direct Neurotoxicity and Microglia‐Mediated Neuroinflammation

Article

Author: Chan, Elaine Wan Ling ; Tiong, Shao Qin ; Mohgan, Raxshanaa N ; Chan, Zhi Ling ; Thang, Zi Qing ; Gan, Sook Yee ; Wong, Grace Yee Seen ; Liew, Jennifer Yue Suan ; Quek, Jia Yee

Background: Abnormal elevation of transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) has been observed among Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. This may be due to microglia‐mediated release of proinflammatory cytokines, which promote neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis. Silencing of TGFBR1, a gene encoding TGF‐β receptor type I (TGF‐βR1), has resulted in neuronal survival from amyloid‐beta (Aβ)‐induced neurotoxicity. Therefore, the present study investigated the neuroprotective effect of TGF‐βR1 inhibitors (RepSox, Galunisertib, and Vactosertib) against Aβ‐induced direct neurotoxicity and microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation.Methods: The neuroprotective effect of TGF‐βR1 inhibitors against Aβ‐induced direct neurotoxicity and microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation were investigated using the RealTime‐Glo™ MT Cell Viability Assay. The inhibitory effect of TGF‐βR1 inhibitors on Aβ‐induced microglia‐mediated production of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF‐α and IL‐1β) was determined using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: TGF‐βR1 inhibitors (RepSox, Galunisertib, and Vactosertib) at the tested concentrations (6.25–150 nM) showed no significant cytotoxicity effects on SH‐SY5Y and BV‐2 cells. Moreover, treatments with these inhibitors exhibited neuroprotection on SH‐SY5Y cells against Aβ‐induced direct neurotoxicity. The trend of cell viability after 24 h treatment also supports the microscopic images of the cells’ morphology. Furthermore, pretreatment with these inhibitors conferred indirect neuroprotective effect against Aβ‐induced microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation by attenuating the production of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF‐α and IL‐1β).Conclusion: The inhibition of the TGF‐β signaling pathway in neuronal and microglia cells by TGF‐βR1 inhibitors resulted in neuroprotection against Aβ‐induced direct neurotoxicity and microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation. Hence, targeting the TGF‐β signaling pathway in both neuronal and microglia cells could provide a promising therapeutic strategy in AD.

Navigating the Evolving Market Dynamics of Bone Sarcoma: A Comprehensive Analysis of Osteosarcoma, Ewing Sarcoma, and Chondrosarcoma | DelveInsight

Each individual's risk of being diagnosed with primary bone sarcoma and their chances of recovery following diagnosis are influenced by a range of unique factors. In 2023, it is anticipated that 4K individuals of all ages in the United States will be diagnosed with primary bone sarcoma, including 2K males and 1.8K females. In 2020, approximately 400 cases were reported among those aged 15 to 19. LAS VEGAS, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bone sarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that originates in the bone tissue. It poses significant challenges during its treatment due to several factors. Firstly, its rarity often leads to delayed diagnosis, as symptoms can mimic other common conditions. Additionally, bone sarcoma typically affects children and young adults, making the emotional toll of the disease particularly challenging. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, which can be physically demanding and cause severe side effects. Moreover, because bone sarcoma tends to occur in the extremities, treatment may require complex and lengthy surgical procedures, potentially affecting mobility and quality of life. Furthermore, the risk of recurrence remains a constant concern, necessitating long-term monitoring and follow-up care. Despite these challenges, ongoing research and advancements in medical technology offer hope for improved outcomes and a better quality of life for those battling bone sarcoma. DelveInsight has recently released a series of epidemiology-based market reports focusing on benign bone sarcoma including Osteosarcoma Market Report, Ewing Sarcoma Market Report, and Chondrosarcoma Market Report. These reports include a comprehensive understanding of current treatment practices, historical and forecasted patient pool, emerging drugs, market share of individual therapies, and historical and forecasted market size from 2019 to 2032 segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU-4 (Italy, Spain, France, and Germany), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. Additionally, the reports feature exhaustive analysis of prominent companies working with their emerging candidates in different stages of clinical development. Let's deep dive into the assessment of these bone sarcoma markets individually. Osteosarcoma Market Osteosarcoma is a rare bone tumor affecting having an annual incidence of 3.4 cases per million. It is the most prevalent form of bone cancer, primarily developed in the osteoblast cells of bones, with a predilection for long bones near the knee joint. However, it can also manifest in other locations, including the upper leg, lower leg, upper arm, and virtually any bone in the body, including those in the pelvis, shoulder, and skull. It has the potential to invade adjacent tissues, such as tendons and muscles, and can metastasize to distant organs or other bones via the bloodstream. As per DelveInsight analysts, the total incident population of osteosarcoma in the 7MM was ~2K in 2022. The estimates show the highest incident cases of osteosarcoma in the United States with ~1K cases in 2022, and it is expected to increase by 2032. Osteosarcoma is commonly treated through a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy. Despite some recent developments, limited progress has been achieved since the late 1980s when chemotherapy was added to surgical treatment, leading to improved survival rates. Radiation therapy impacts both normal and cancerous cells, causing various effects. Chemotherapeutic drugs like cisplatin, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and high-dose methotrexate with leucovorin calcium rescue (HDMTX) are widely used. Additionally, a few FDA-approved products, such as FUSILEV and KHAPZORY, are available for osteosarcoma treatment. As per DelveInsight analysis, the osteosarcoma market size is expected to increase at a significant CAGR by 2032. This growth would be fuelled by the increase in the patient pool and the expected entry of emerging therapies. Osteosarcoma Pipeline Therapies and Companies Lenvatinib: Eisai Naxitamab: Y-mAbs Therapeutics BAY80-6946: Bayer Vactosertib: MedPacto For a comprehensive view of the osteosarcoma market, check out the Osteosarcoma Market Assessment Ewing Sarcoma Market Ewing Sarcoma, a malignant tumor, typically initiates its growth within the bones, with a higher incidence among children and young adults, often manifesting during adolescence. Although it can originate in any bone, it predominantly affects the long bones, such as the thigh bone, shin bone, and upper arm bone. The pelvis bones are also frequently involved. In some cases, the tumor may originate in muscle and soft tissues. Common symptoms include bone stiffness, pain, swelling, or tenderness, along with tissue surrounding the affected bone. As per the assessment done by DelveInsight, the total incident cases of Ewing sarcoma in the 7MM comprised approximately 1.2K cases in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecasted period. The management of Ewing sarcoma typically adopts a comprehensive approach, which may encompass surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) offers specific chemotherapy regimens for localized and metastatic Ewing sarcoma. For first-line treatment, NCCN suggests VDC/IE (vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide), VAIA (vincristine, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and dactinomycin), and VIDE (vincristine, ifosfamide, doxorubicin, and etoposide) for both initial presentations and as primary therapy for metastatic disease. In the second-line setting, NCCN recommends options like Cyclophosphamide and topotecan, Irinotecan + temozolomide ± Vincristine, Ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and Lurbinectedin. As per the latest Ewing Sarcoma Market Report, the total Ewing sarcoma market size in the 7MM is approximately USD 26 million in 2022 and is projected to increase during the forecast period (2023–2032). The expected introduction of upcoming therapies and the deepened integration of early patient screening, medication management in secondary care, and diverse clinical setups, ongoing research into optimal implementation approaches, and a surge in public awareness will ultimately pave the way for the advancement of efficient treatment choices. Ewing Sarcoma Pipeline Therapies and Companies SECLIDEMSTAT (SP-2577): Salarius Pharmaceuticals ZEPZELCA (LURBINECTEDIN): Jazz Pharmaceuticals and PharmaMar VERZENIO (ABEMACICLIB): Eli Lilly IBRANCE (PALBOCICLIB): Pfizer MECBOTAMAB VEDOTIN (BA3011): Bioatla IOPOFOSINE I 131 (CLR 131): Cellectar Biosciences TP-1287: Sumitomo Pharma Oncology NBRX-109: Inhibrx Explore in-depth for a comprehensive understanding of the Ewing Sarcoma Clinical Trials Chondrosarcoma Market Chondrosarcoma comprises a group of bone tumors originating from cells that overproduce cartilage. Among these tumors, conventional chondrosarcoma is the most frequent type and is generally associated with slow growth. Conversely, rarer subtypes like dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, myxoid chondrosarcoma, clear cell chondrosarcoma, and mesenchymal chondrosarcoma tend to exhibit a more aggressive growth pattern and have the potential to spread to distant body parts. DelveInsight estimated that the total incident cases of chondrosarcoma in the 7MM comprised approximately 2K cases in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecasted period. The management approach for chondrosarcoma is contingent upon factors like tumor type, grade, and location, with the grading system serving as the most reliable indicator of clinical prognosis. It is firmly established that surgical intervention remains the gold standard and sole effective treatment for chondrosarcoma, as alternative modalities such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy exhibit limited responsiveness and resistance. Surgical options encompass curettage, radical resection, and amputation, each necessitating comprehensive clinical judgment and contingent upon variables such as lesion size, location, and malignant characteristics. Anticipated advancements in upcoming therapies and increased integration of early patient screening and medication within secondary care and other clinical settings, along with ongoing research to determine the best implementation methods, are expected to contribute to the development of more effective treatment options. However, chondrosarcoma, being an orphan disease, presents challenges in conducting clinical trials. Limited outcome data for locally advanced or metastatic patients underscore the need for new treatment approaches. Phase I trials, due to their small number of chondrosarcoma patients at varying dose levels, make it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Nevertheless, some Phase II trials have yielded promising results, warranting further investigation. Encouraging retrospective studies could help augment the currently limited data. Urgent efforts to boost research studies on this orphan disease are imperative. As per DelveInsight analysis, the total market size of chondrosarcoma in the 7MM is approximately USD 9 million in 2022 and is projected to increase at a massive CAGR of 24.8% due to increasing awareness of the disease and the launch of the emerging therapy.

CHIMERIC THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES FDA CLEARANCE OF IND APPLICATION FOR CHM 2101, A NOVEL CDH17 CAR T CELL THERAPY FOR ADVANCED GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS

FDA IND Clearance for CHM 2101, a novel 3rd generation CDH17 CAR T cell therapy Anticipated to be the first CDH17 CAR T cell therapy to enter the clinic Phase 1A clinical trial to initiate patient enrolment in 2024 Phase 1A clinical trial will enroll patients with advanced Colorectal Cancer, Gastric Cancer and Neuroendocrine Tumours SYDNEY, Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Chimeric Therapeutics (ASX:CHM, "Chimeric" or the "Company"), an Australian leader in cell therapy, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application of CHM 2101, Chimeric's first in class CDH17 CAR T cell therapy for gastrointestinal cancers. The company plans to investigate CHM 2101 in a multi center, open label Phase 1A/B clinical trial for patients with advanced Colorectal Cancer, Gastric Cancer and Neuroendocrine Tumours. CHM 2101 is a 3rd generation, novel CDH17 CAR T cell therapy that targets CDH17, a cancer target associated with poor prognosis and metastasis in the most common gastrointestinal tumors including Colorectal Cancer, Gastric Cancer and Neuroendocrine Tumours. The clinical program for CHM 2101 builds upon the preclinical studies published in the preeminent scientific journal, Nature Cancer in March 2022 by leading immunotherapy scientist Xianxin Hua, MD, PhD, and his team at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. These experiments demonstrated that CHM 2101 was able to eradicate established tumours in seven cancer models with no toxicity to normal tissues. "It is exciting to see the advancement from discovery of the CDH17 target and CAR T therapy in preclinical studies to the initiation of clinical trials in patients with GI-cancers and neuroendocrine tumors," said Xianxin Hua, MD, PhD, Professor of Cancer Biology in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, an investigator at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute and a Harrington Scholar Innovator. "This is a critical step forward in developing an entirely new CAR T therapy for GI-cancers and neuroendocrine tumors, providing new hopes for the cancer patients who are refractory to the existing therapies." With the FDA IND clearance Chimeric will now begin the initiation of a phase 1 /2 multi-site clinical trial in patients with advanced Colorectal Cancer, Gastric Cancer and Neuroendocrine Tumours. The study is planned to begin patient enrollment in 2024. (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06055439) "I am really excited about the planned Phase 1 clinical trial of CHM 2101 and the opportunity to bring a potentially transformative new investigational agent to cancer patients who need them most," said Michael R. Bishop, MD, Professor of Medicine and Director, The David and Etta Jonas Center for Cellular Therapy, University of Chicago. ABOUT CHIMERIC THERAPEUTICS Chimeric Therapeutics, a clinical stage cell therapy company and an Australian leader in cell therapy, is focused on bringing the promise of cell therapy to life for more patients with cancer. We believe that cellular therapies have the promise to cure cancer, not just delay disease progression. To bring that promise to life for more patients, Chimeric's world class team of cell therapy pioneers and experts is focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of the most innovative and promising cell therapies. Chimeric currently has a diversified portfolio that includes first in class autologous CAR T cell therapies and best in class allogeneic NK cell therapies. Chimeric assets are being developed across multiple different disease areas in oncology with 3 current clinical programs and plans to open additional clinical programs in 2023. CHM 1101 (CLTX CAR T) is a novel and promising CAR T therapy developed for the treatment of patients with solid tumours. CHM 1101 is currently being studied in a phase 1B clinical trial in recurrent / progressive glioblastoma. Initial positive data from the investigator-initiated phase 1A trial has been presented on patients treated in the first two dose levels of the trial. CHM 2101 (CDH17 CAR T) is a first-in-class, 3rd generation CDH17 CAR T invented at the world-renowned cell therapy centre, the University of Pennsylvania. Preclinical evidence for CHM 2101 was published in March 2022 in Nature Cancer demonstrating complete eradication of tumors in 7 types of cancer. CHM 2101 (CDH17 CAR T) is currently in preclinical development with a planned phase 1A clinical trial in gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine tumours. CHM 0201 (CORE-NK platform) is a potentially best-in-class, clinically validated NK cell platform. Data from the complete phase 1A clinical trial was published in March 2022, demonstrating safety and efficacy in blood cancers and solid tumours. Based on the promising activity signal demonstrated in that trial, an additional Phase1B clinical trial investigating CHM 0201 in combination with IL2 and Vactosertib is now underway. From the CHM 0201 platform, Chimeric has initiated development of new next generation NK and CAR NK assets.
