Safety and Efficacy of MEDI0457 plus Durvalumab in Patients with Human Papillomavirus-Associated Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Tumoral programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression is common in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We assessed whether a DNA vaccine targeting HPV-16/18 E6/E7 with IL12 adjuvant (MEDI0457) combined with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab could enh...

description Tumoral programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression is common in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We assessed whether a DNA vaccine targeting HPV-16/18 E6/E7 with IL12 adjuvant (MEDI0457) combined with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab could enhance HPV-specific T-cell response and improve outcomes in recurrent/metastatic HPV-16/18-associated HNSCC. In this phase Ib/IIa study, immunotherapy-naïve patients with ≥1 previous platinum-containing regimen (neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy or for recurrent/metastatic disease) received MEDI0457 7 mg intramuscularly with electroporation on weeks 1, 3, 7, and 12, then every 8 weeks, plus durvalumab 1,500 mg intravenously on weeks 4, 8, and 12, then every 4 weeks, until confirmed progression and/or unacceptable toxicity. Coprimary objectives were safety and objective response rate (ORR; H0: ORR ≤ 15%); secondary objectives included 16-week disease control rate (DCR-16), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Of 35 treated patients, 29 were response evaluable (confirmed HPV-associated disease; received both agents). ORR was 27.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 12.7-47.2; four complete responses, four partial responses]; responses were independent of PD-L1 tumor-cell expression (≥25% vs. 2-fold increase in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. MEDI0457 plus durvalumab was well tolerated. While the primary efficacy endpoint was not reached, clinical benefit was encouraging.

Twenty-eight (80.0%) patients had treatment-related adverse events [grade 3: 5 (14.3%); no grade 4/5], resulting in discontinuation in 2 (5.7%) patients. HPV-16/18-specific T cells increased on treatment; 4 of 8 evaluable patients had a &gt;2-fold increase in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. MEDI0457 plus durvalumab was well tolerated. While the primary efficacy endpoint was not reached, clinical benefit was encouraging.</abstract><cop>United States</cop><pmid>36455147</pmid><doi>10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-22-1987</doi><tpages>11</tpages><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4484-7433</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1065-8474</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9128-5707</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2838-9076</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3651-8867</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7919-8272</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8699-0532</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1689-3475</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4627-3667</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3610-2266</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9399-3608</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3181-9460</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3056-1891</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1684-5134</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4972-1477</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7687-5319</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3683-3800</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6576-4659</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1968-0459</orcidid><orcidid>https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1018-9404</orcidid><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record>
