New Drug Benefits Patients With Myeloma Who Are Resistant to All Therapies – Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Earlier this year, a novel drug became the first agent to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for patients with multiple myeloma who have exhausted all types of currently available therapies, including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs and monoclonal antibodies.

A clinical trial found that 26.2 percent of such patients responded with significant shrinkage of their disease, including complete responses, and a median survival of 8.6 months despite their highly refractory disease.

The drug, selinexor or XPOVIO, developed by Karyopharm Therapeutics of Newton, Massachusetts, is a pill given with low-dose dexamethasone. Its currently being tested in a larger trial in combination with other drugs, such as bortezomib, to determine if it can improve outcome in myeloma.

Its novel mechanism of action and ability to overcome highly resistant disease is striking, says Paul Richardson, MD, clinical program leader and director of clinical research in the Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center at Dana-Farber, and co-senior author of a report on the study in The New England Journal of Medicine. He and other Dana-Farber investigators were involved in the preclinical and clinical research on selinexor.

The accelerated approval of oral XPOVIOmarks an important advance in the treatment paradigm for patients with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma and in my view the drug is an important addition to our therapeutic armamentarium, says Richardson.

Selinexor is the first in a class ofdrugs that bind to a molecule called exportin 1 and block the transport ofseveral cancer-growth proteins from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm. The drugalso activates tumor-suppressor proteins in the nucleus, leading to apoptosis,or self-destruction, of the cancer cell.

Selinexor earned accelerated approved by the FDA in July 2019 for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who received at least four prior therapies and whose disease is refractory to at least two proteasome inhibitors, at least two immunomodulatory agents, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody drug.

Patients matching this description are known as triple-class refractory, meaning they did not respond satisfactorily to the three main classes of drugs used to treat myeloma. Survival for these patients is extremely short.

The clinical study report in The New England Journal of Medicine published in August included122 patients who had received a median of seven previous treatment regimensincluding chemotherapy, targeted therapy with bortezomib, carfilzomib,lenalidomide, pomalidomide, and monoclonal antibody (daratumumab). Almost allhad undergone stem cell transplant.

Their median age was 65.2 years and had myeloma for a median of 6.6 years; their disease was rapidly worsening, and they were out of options. These individuals represented the growing population of patients who have exhausted available therapies but want to continue with active therapy, say the researchers.

A partial response or better was seen in 26% of patients, including two complete responses (disappearance of the myeloma protein in their blood) and six very good partial responses, and 39% had a minimal response or better. The median duration of response was 4.4 months, median progression-free survival was 3.7 months, and median overall survival was 8.6 months, though in patients who responded the median survival was 15.6 months. Although there was no control group in the study, as in this setting such an approach is very problematic and lacks equipoise, Richardson says that historically, patients like those in the trial have a survival of only two to three months.

Because the window of time to treat such patients was closing rapidly, says Richardson, they started on a high dose of selinexor, with the researchers anticipating the need to reduce doses if adverse effects occurred. This proved to be the case, with 80% of patients having dose modification or interruption because of adverse events. Fatigue, nausea, and decreased appetite were common and low platelet counts occurred in 73% of patients, anemia in 44% of patients, and 22% had low blood sodium levels.

Richardson says the side effects proved manageable with careful supportive care required in this group of patients who were otherwise very ill and had no other treatment options. He notes the FDA approval was based not only on the results of this study, called STORM, but also on early indications of safety from the phase 3 BOSTON study which was recently completed to enrollment.

Notice of Business Alliance between Promethera Biosciences SA and MEDIPAL HOLDINGS – Business Wire

MONT-SAINT-GUIBERT, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Promethera Biosciences SA (Promethera) and MEDIPAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (MEDIPAL) today announced that they have entered into a business alliance agreement. In conjunction with todays alliance, MEDIPAL has decided to increase its shareholdings in the Promethera Group. Details follows below.

The purpose of this alliancePromethera has been developing its lead liver cell-derived technology (HepaStem) in an area of high medical need, primarily for Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and urea cycle disorder (UCD). Promethera completed the recruitment of 24 patients in its Phase 2a study in Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in July 2019. The 3 months follow-up data were presented on 10th November at the AASLD 2019 conference (70th American Association for the Study of the Liver Diseases). In addition, the Phase 2a clinical study in patients with late stage NASH with worlds first cell therapy was initiated in May 2019. MEDIPAL will support Promethera in the commercialization of its products in Japan through the subscription to a private placement of new shares on March 20th, 2019, with the aim to expand the products it handles in the regenerative medicine field going forward.

The purpose of this alliance is to further deepen the cooperative relationship between the two companies by providing access to MEDIPALs know-how and capabilities in the distribution of cellular medicines at ultra-low temperatures. MEDIPAL will support Promethera's clinical trials and aims to provide a steady supply after its product launch.

With about 430 cases per year, the percent of patients receiving a liver transplant in Japan is significantly lower than in the US, where some 8,000 patients receive a transplant every year. Rescue solutions for Japanese patients with fatal liver diseases are performing poorly too. An even closer partnership with MEDIPAL will support us in setting up clinical trials in Japan that could positively impact and contribute to a solution for this considerable medical need in Japan. Building on this partnership, we will accelerate the clinical development of HepaStem towards a subsequent market launch in Japan, which will be a meaningful new development for Japanese patients suffering from end-stage liver disease, said Dr John Tchelingerian, President and CEO of Promethera. Mastering the entire supply chain is a key requirement for an off-the-shelf allogeneic cell therapy product, and MEDIPALs expertise and capabilities in this sector will be very valuable in this regard.

Prometheras HepaStem program can potentially become the worlds first therapeutic product using liver stem cells for the treatment of severe liver diseases, commented Shuichi Watanabe, Chief Executive Officer of MEDIPAL. Liver disease prevalence is rising in Japan and around the world due to an increase in obesity and other metabolic syndromes. The need to deliver effective treatments such as Prometheras is expected to augment rapidly. MEDIPALs system enables strict temperature management and traceability by using SDDU (Specialty Drug Distribution Unit: a liquid nitrogen-based ultra-low cold chain system for drug distribution) and has an extensive expertise in this field. We are very pleased with this partnership and the opportunity to support the development and the logistics of this innovative product candidate with our capabilities.

Background: Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) with inverted orientation protein 1 (MAGI1) is a novel member of the MAGUK family with a vital role in tumor progression related to invasion and metastasis. However, the function of MAGI1 in glioma is currently unknown. We therefore analyzed the expression of MAGI1 protein in human glioma samples, glioma cell lines and glioma stem cells (GSCs), and explored its effects on glioma cell proliferation and apoptosis.Methods: MAGI1 expression in glioma tissues was examined by Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction and its relationships with clinical pathological features were analyzed. The effects of MAGI1 knockdown on the proliferation of glioma cell lines and GSCs were detected by CCK8 and colony-formation assays, and apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. We also investigated the effects of MAGI1 silencing on protein expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition biomarkers, as well as -catenin, cyclin D1, PTEN and phospho-Akt by Western blotting.Results: MAGI1 was significantly downregulated in glioma tissues and its expression was related to cancer progression. Silencing of MAGI1 in both glioma cell lines and GSCs enhanced proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. MAGI1 knockdown also significantly increased the expression levels of N-cadherin, vimentin, -catenin, cyclin D1 and phospho-Akt and reduced the expression of E-cadherin and PTEN.Conclusions: Our results indicated that MAGI1 might play a vital role in glioma progression and may represent a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of glioma.

Keywords: glioma, MAGI1, -catenin, EMT, proliferation, knockdown
