Early 3+3 Trial Dose-Escalation Phase I Clinical Trial Design and Suitability for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Cancer shared this article with you from Inoreader
Purpose:

Despite the expansion of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) indications, the relationship between ICI dose and toxicity or response is not well established. To understand this correlation, we performed a meta-analysis of ICI trials that used dose escalation.

Experimental Design:

We searched PubMed and abstracts presented at (inter)national meetings for trials using FDA-approved ICIs. The reported rates of grade 3–5 adverse events (G3–5 AE), immune-related adverse events (irAE), and response were correlated with doses within each ICI using marginal exact generalized linear models.

Results:

A total of 74 trials (7,469 patients) published between January 2010 and January 2017 were included. For ipilimumab, the incidence of G3–5 AEs was 34% with a significant 27% reduced risk in lower doses (P = 0.002). However, no relationship was observed between dose and irAEs or response. For nivolumab, the incidence of G3–5 AEs was 20.1% which was lower in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or melanoma (P ≤ 0.05) with no dose-toxicity relationship. In melanoma and NSCLC, a dose–response association was observed, which was not observed in RCC. For pembrolizumab, the incidence of G3–5 AEs was 13.3%, which was lower in melanoma compared with NSCLC (P = 0.03) with no dose-toxicity relationship. In melanoma, lower dose levels correlated with decreased odds of response (P = 0.01), a relationship that was not observed in NSCLC.

Conclusions:

Our analysis shows a lack of consistent dose-toxicity or dose–response correlation with ICIs. Therefore, dose escalation is not an appropriate design to conduct ICI studies. Here we present an innovative trial design for immune-modulating agents.
