Abstract

Introduction: Recently reported results from the SANET-ep study (NCT02588170) demonstrated superior efficacy of surufatinib (S) in Chinese patients (pts) with advanced extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (epNET) when compared to placebo (median progression free survival 9.2 vs. 3.8 months). S is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases VEGFR1, 2, and 3, FGFR1, and CSF-1R. Trials in the US are ongoing, however genetic differences leading to disparate metabolism of S in different pt populations are unknown. We report a comparison of PK and safety across populations treated with S.

Methods: A phase I/II study of S, (NCT02267967), conducted in Chinese pts, and a similar study, (NCT02549937), conducted in US pts are compared to evaluate potential effects of race to surufatinib exposure. Both trials enrolled pts at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of 300 mg QD in three tumor types including Biliary Tract Cancer, epNET, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET).

Results: PK sampling was obtained on days 1 and 14 in 81 Chinese pts, and on days 1, 8, 15, and 29, in 39 US pts. Out of 39 US pts there were 29 Caucasian, 2 Asian, and 8 were not reported. Following a single dose of S 300 mg on day 1, geometric mean (percent coefficient of variation of geometric mean, %CV) Cmax and AUCtau were 376 (70%) ng/mL and 2770 (56%) hr*ng/mL, respectively, in Chinese pts, compared to 354 (61%) ng/mL and 3050 (56%) hr*ng/mL, respectively, in US pts. Following S to steady-state on day 14/15, Cmax and AUCtau were 487 (65%) ng/mL and 4810 (58%) hr*ng/mL, respectively, in Chinese pts, compared to 471 (59%) ng/mL and 5130 (50%) hr*ng/mL, respectively, in US pts. PK exposures on days 15 and 29 were similar.
In 81 Chinese pts, 100% of pts experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE), and 79.5% of 39 US pts reported a TRAE. The most common TRAEs reported were proteinuria (81% and 12.8%), diarrhea (72% and 23.1%), and hypertension (60% and 35.9%) in Chinese and US pts respectively. The most commonly reported ≥ Grade 3 TRAE’s were: hypertension (33% and 23.1%), proteinuria (12% and 2.6%) and diarrhea (6% and 7.7%), in Chinese and US pts, respectively. Serious adverse events were reported in 27% of Chinese pts and 23.7% of US pts. The safety profile in the two populations appear to be similar at the RP2D.
In addition to a similar toxicity profile, the relative dose intensity in both trials were comparable. In Chinese and US pts, respectively, the relative mean dose intensity was 90%, and 84%, and the median intensity was 97% and 96%.

Conclusions Given the similar PK and toxicity profiles of S between Chinese and US pts, it can be concluded that race has minimal effect on S exposure. Further evaluations of safety and efficacy are being conducted in ongoing global studies.

Abstract

Background: Surufatinib is a novel small-molecule inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1, 2 and 3, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and colony stimulating factor 1 receptor. Toripalimab (JS001) is a monoclonal humanized IgG4 PD-1 antibody. The potential synergistic antitumor activity of surufatinib and anti-PD-L1 combination regimen had been demonstrated in preclinical study (presented at 2017 AACR). Here, we report the safety and preliminary efficacy results from a phase I trial of surufatinib plus toripalimab in patients with advanced solid tumor (NCT03879057).

Methods: This study is an open-label, dose escalation and expansion study in solid tumor patients who had failed standard therapies or had no effective treatment. In dose escalation stage, 3 dose levels of surufatinib (200, 300 and 250 mg once daily) were evaluated in combination with a fixed dose of toripalimab 240 mg every 3 weeks until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) was reached, which ever occurred first. Additional patients were enrolled at dose expansion phase to further assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile.

Results: As of 2020-1-20, a total of 30 patients were enrolled. Tumor types include neuroendocrine tumor (NET) Grade (G) 1/2 (4), NET G3 (4), neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) (13), colorectal carcinoma (CRC) (4), gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) (2), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (2) and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma with unknown primary (1). The RP2D was determined at surufatinib 250 mg daily plus toripalimab. One patient at 300 mg experienced dose-limiting toxicity, grade 3 hyperthyroidism. The most common grade 3/4 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE, ≥5%) were transaminase elevation, bilirubin elevation, fatigue, hyponatremia, and vomit, with higher frequencies in the 300 mg cohort compared with lower dose cohorts. There was no treatment-related fatal serious adverse event. Preliminary PK analysis showed surufatinib exposure at steady state increased dose-proportionally. Individual PK profiles was comparable to those of surufatinib or toripalimab from previous monotherapy trials. By 2020-1-10, 25/30 patients across 3 cohorts were evaluable for tumor response: 1 complete response, 6 partial response (ORR=28%); in NET G1/2 (3), NEC (2), ESCC (1), and CRC (1). Twelve patients experienced stable disease for at least 6 weeks (DCR=76%). Most patients with negative or low PD-L1 expression achieved PR or CR. Of 21 evaluable neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) patients, the ORR and DCR were 23.8% and 81.0%, respectively. Four of 8 evaluable patients at RP2D achieved PR, and the ORR and DCR were 50% and 100%, respectively.

Conclusions: Surufatinib plus toripalimab were well tolerated with no unexpected safety signals observed, and showed encouraging antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumor, especially in NENs patients. The phase II trial (NCT04169672) has been initiated.

關於索凡替尼

索凡替尼(surufatinib)是由和黃醫藥自主研發的一種新型的口服酪氨酸激酶抑製劑,具有抗血管生成和免疫調節雙重活性。索凡替尼可通過抑制血管內皮生長因子受體(VEGFR)和成纖維細胞生長因子受體(FGFR)以阻斷腫瘤血管生成,並可抑制集落刺激因子-1受體(CSF-1R),通過調節腫瘤相關巨噬細胞,促進機體對腫瘤細胞的免疫應答。因為具有抗腫瘤血管生成和免疫調節的雙重機制,索凡替尼可能非常適合與其他免疫療法聯合使用。

和黃醫藥目前擁有索凡替尼在全球範圍內的所有權利。

美國、歐洲與日本神經內分泌瘤研究由於索凡替尼以神經內分泌瘤為適應症的兩項III期中國臨床試驗數據令人鼓舞,且美國Ib期臨床試驗進展順利(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT02549937 ),和黃醫藥正與美國、歐洲和日本的監管部門進行溝通,以確定索凡替尼的臨床開發和註冊路徑。在美國,索凡替尼於2020年4月被授予快速通道資格,用於治療胰腺和非胰腺神經內分泌瘤,並於2019年11月被授予「孤兒藥」資格認證,用於治療胰腺神經內分泌瘤。

中國非胰腺神經內分泌瘤研究:2019年11月,國家藥監局受理了索凡替尼用於治療非胰腺神經內分泌瘤的新藥上市申請(「NDA」),並於2019年12月納入優先審評。該NDA獲成功的SANET-ep研究數據支持。 SANET-ep是一項關於索凡替尼以晚期非胰腺神經內分泌瘤為適應症的中國III 期臨床試驗,而這些患者目前尚無有效治療方法。 2019年6月,該研究獨立數據監察委員會(「IDMC」)評估認為,共198名患者參與的中期分析成功達到無進展生存期(「PFS」)這一預設主要療效終點並提前終止研究。該項研究的積極結果於2019年舉行的歐洲腫瘤內科學會(ESMO)年會上以口頭報告的形式公佈(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT02588170)。

中國胰腺神經內分泌瘤研究:2016年,和黃醫藥在中國啟動了一項關鍵性III期註冊研究SANET-p,入組患者為低級別或中級別晚期胰腺神經內分泌瘤患者。 2020年1月,該IDMC評估中期分析已經成功達到PFS這一預設主要療效終點並建議提前終止研究(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT02589821)。和黃醫藥計劃提交索凡替尼的第二個NDA,用於治療晚期胰腺神經內分泌瘤,併計劃於隨後的學術會議上提交SANET-p 研究結果。

中國膽道癌研究2019年3月,和黃醫藥啟動了一項IIb/III期臨床試驗,旨在對比索凡替尼和卡培他濱治療一線化療失敗晚期膽道癌患者的療效和安全性。該研究的主要終點為總生存率(OS)(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT03873532)。

免疫聯合療法:2018年11月及2019年9月,和黃醫藥達成了數個合作協議,以評估索凡替尼聯合PD-1單克隆抗體的安全性、耐受性和療效。其中包括與上海君實生物醫藥科技股份有限公司在全球共同開發索凡替尼與拓益®聯合療法的合作協議,及與信達生物製藥在全球共同開發達伯舒®聯合療法的合作協議。拓益®及達伯舒®均已在中國獲批。

London: Tuesday, April  21, 2020: Hutchison China MediTech Limited (“Chi-Med”) (Nasdaq/AIM: HCM) announces that on April  20, 2020, in accordance with the new incentive policy outlined in its full year results announcement on March 3, 2020, it granted conditional awards (“LTIP Awards”) under the Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) adopted by Chi-Med at its Annual General Meeting in 2015 and share options under the Share Option Scheme conditionally adopted by Chi-Med at its Annual General Meeting in 2015 (the “2015 HCML Share Option Scheme”).

In 2019, Chi-Med had conducted a comprehensive review of its compensation and share-based incentives policies, which included benchmarking research on peer group U.S. and China biotech companies. The Company has established a new competitive policy to ensure that it is able to attract and retain top talent.

 

A. Long Term Incentive Plan

The LTIP Awards grant participating directors, persons discharging managerial responsibilities (“PDMRs”) or employees a conditional right to a cash amount which is used to purchase shares in Chi-Med (“Shares”), on-market by an independent third party trustee (“Trustee”).

Two different types of LTIP Awards have been granted, namely:

1. Performance-related LTIP Award for the Chi-Med Financial Year 2020 (“Performance LTIP”) – award based on a maximum cash amount, which amount is determined by the achievement of performance targets for the financial year ending 31 December 2020. The performance targets will be determined by the Remuneration Committee of Chi-Med based on the strategic objectives of Chi-Med.

The Shares, to be purchased by the Trustee following determination of the cash amount based on actual achievement of performance targets, will then be held by the Trustee until the underlying LTIP Awards are vested.  Vesting will occur two business days after the date of announcement of the annual results of Chi-Med for the financial year ending December 31, 2022.  Vesting will also depend upon the continued employment of the award holder with the Chi-Med group and will otherwise be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of Chi-Med.

Chi-Med has granted the following LTIP Awards for the Performance LTIP to the following PDMRs:

Award Holder   Maximum amount for the Performance LTIP
Mr Christian Hogg (Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer) US$1,580,193
Mr Johnny Cheng (Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer) US$640,443
Dr Weiguo Su (Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer) US$1,407,120

An additional 331 employees of Chi-Med and its subsidiaries have simultaneously been granted LTIP Awards under the Performance LTIP.

 

2. Non-performance LTIP Award (“Non-performance LTIP”) – a one-off cash amount is granted to each grantee and will be used by the Trustee to purchase Shares which will be subject to a vesting period of four years. Chi-Med has granted the following Non-performance LTIP to the following PDMRs: 

Award Holder   Cash amount for the Non-performance LTIP
Mr Simon To (Executive Director) US$200,000
Dr Dan Eldar (Non-executive Director (“NED”)) US$200,000
Ms Edith Shih (NED) US$200,000
Mr Paul Carter (Independent Non-executive Director (“INED”)) US$200,000
Dr Karen Ferrante (INED) US$200,000
Mr Graeme Jack (INED) US$200,000
Professor Tony Mok (INED) US$200,000

The cash amount will be used by the Trustee to buy Shares which will be held by the Trustee until the underlying Non-performance LTIP Awards are vested. 25% of the Shares bought by the Trustee will vest on each anniversary of the grant of the Non-performance LTIP Awards for the next four years.

An additional two employees of Chi-Med and its subsidiaries have simultaneously been granted the Non-performance LTIP.

Further announcements will be made in due course at the time the Performance Awards and Non-performance Awards are vested, when the number of the Shares to which each Director and PDMR is entitled will be known.  The above Directors and PDMRs additionally have the right to elect on acceptance of the grant of their awards to have part of their awards held (on behalf of the Director/PDMR by the trustee administering the LTIP) pending vesting in the form of cash in order to satisfy any tax liability in respect of their awards.

 

 B. Share Option Scheme

Chi-Med granted a total of 2,855,000 share options under its 2015 HCML Share Option Scheme to eight senior employees to subscribe for Ordinary Shares subject to the acceptance of the grantee.  Details of such share options granted prescribed are as follows:

Date of grant : April 20, 2020
Exercise price of share options granted : GBP3.34 per Ordinary Share
Number of share options granted : 2,855,000 (each share option shall entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one Ordinary Share)
Closing market price of Ordinary Shares on the date of grant :

GBP3.34 per Ordinary Share

 

Validity period of the share options : From April 20, 2020 to April 19, 2030

倫敦:2020年4月17日,星期五:和黃中國醫藥科技有限公司(簡稱「和黃醫藥」或「Chi-Med」)(納斯達克/倫敦證交所:HCM)今天宣佈,美國食品藥品監督管理局(「FDA」)已授予索凡替尼兩項快速通道資格,用於治療不適合手術的晚期和進展性胰腺和非胰腺神經內分泌瘤(「NET」)。

美國FDA快速通道資格旨在加速針對嚴重疾病的藥物開發和審批,以解決未獲滿足的醫療需求。獲得快速通道資格的新藥可能是針對特定嚴重疾病的首個療法,或與現有療法相比在臨床上具有顯著優勢。除此之外,這類新藥有可能擁有獨特的作用機制,或者可令對現有療法效果不佳或不耐受的患者獲益,從而解決未滿足的醫療需求。獲得快速通道資格的項目可以在藥物開發計劃上與美國FDA進行更頻繁的互動,並獲取加速審批、優先審評和滾動審評資格。[1]

 

關於索凡替尼

索凡替尼(surufatinib)是由和黃醫藥自主研發的一種新型的口服酪氨酸激酶抑製劑,具有抗血管生成和免疫調節雙重活性。索凡替尼可通過抑制血管內皮生長因子受體(VEGFR)和成纖維細胞生長因子受體(FGFR)以阻斷腫瘤血管生成,並可抑制集落刺激因子-1受體(CSF-1R),通過調節腫瘤相關巨噬細胞,促進機體對腫瘤細胞的免疫應答。因為具有抗腫瘤血管生成和免疫調節的雙重機制,索凡替尼可能非常適合與其他免疫療法聯合使用。

和黃醫藥目前擁有索凡替尼在全球範圍內的所有權利。

美國、歐洲與日本神經內分泌瘤研究:由於索凡替尼以神經內分泌瘤為適應症的兩項III期中國臨床試驗數據令人鼓舞,且美國Ib期臨床試驗進展順利(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT02549937 ),和黃醫藥正與美國、歐洲和日本的監管部門進行溝通以確定索凡替尼的臨床開發和註冊路徑。除了上述被授予的兩項快速通道資格,索凡替尼亦於2019年11月被FDA授予「孤兒藥」資格認證,用於治療胰腺神經內分泌瘤。

中國非胰腺神經內分泌瘤研究:2019年11月,國家藥監局受理了索凡替尼用於治療非胰腺神經內分泌瘤的新藥上市申請,並於2019年12月納入優先審評。該新藥上市申請獲成功的SANET-ep研究數據支持。 SANET-ep是一項關於索凡替尼以晚期非胰腺神經內分泌瘤為適應症的中國III 期臨床試驗,而這些患者目前尚無有效治療方法。 2019年6月,該研究獨立數據監察委員會(IDMC)評估認為,共198名患者參與的中期分析成功達到無進展生存期(「PFS」)這一預設主要療效終點並提前終止研究。該項研究的積極結果於2019年舉行的歐洲腫瘤內科學會(ESMO)年會上以口頭報告的形式公佈(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT02588170)。

中國胰腺神經內分泌瘤研究:2016年,和黃醫藥在中國啟動了一項關鍵性III期註冊研究SANET-p,入組患者為低級別或中級別晚期胰腺神經內分泌瘤患者。 2020年1月,該研究獨立數據監察委員會(IDMC)評估中期分析已經成功達到PFS這一預設主要療效終點並建議提前終止研究(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT02589821)。和黃醫藥計劃提交索凡替尼的第二個新藥上市申請(NDA),用於治療晚期胰腺神經內分泌瘤,併計劃於隨後的學術會議上提交SANET-p 研究結果。

中國膽道癌研究:2019年3月,和黃醫藥啟動了一項IIb/III期臨床試驗,旨在對比索凡替尼和卡培他濱治療一線化療失敗晚期膽道癌患者的療效和安全性。該研究的主要終點為總生存率(OS)(clinicaltrials.gov 註冊號NCT03873532)。

免疫聯合療法:2018年11月及2019年9月,和黃醫藥達成了數個合作協議,以評估索凡替尼聯合PD-1單克隆抗體的安全性、耐受性和療效。其中包括與上海君實生物醫藥科技股份有限公司在全球共同開發索凡替尼與拓益®聯合療法的合作協議,及與信達生物製藥在全球共同開發達伯舒®聯合療法的合作協議。拓益®及達伯舒®均已在中國獲批。

 

關於神經內分泌瘤

神經內分泌瘤(NET)起源於與神經系統相互作用的細胞或產生激素的腺體。神經內分泌瘤可起源於體內很多部位,最常見於消化道或肺部,可為良性或惡性腫瘤。按照起源,神經內分泌瘤通常分為胰腺神經內分泌瘤和非胰腺神經內分泌瘤。獲批的靶向治療包括索坦®(蘋果酸舒尼替尼)和飛尼妥®(依維莫司),用於治療胰腺神經內分泌瘤或高度分化的非功能性胃腸道或肺神經內分泌瘤。

據Frost & Sullivan公司估計,2018年美國神經內分泌瘤新診斷病例為19,000例。值得關注的是,與其他腫瘤相比,神經內分泌瘤患者的生存期相對較長,因此,雖然神經內分泌瘤發病率相對不高,但患者人群相對較大。此外,據估計2018年美國神經內分泌瘤患者約141,000名,其中約有超九成,即132,000名患者,為非胰腺神經內分泌瘤患者。

在中國,2018年約有67,600例神經內分泌瘤新診斷病例。按照中國的發病率與流行率比例(incidence to prevalence ratio)估算,中國總共或有高達300,000名神經內分泌瘤患者2 。據估計在中國患有神經內分泌瘤的患者中約有八成是非胰腺神經內分泌瘤患者。

倫敦:2020年3月31日(星期二):和黃中國醫藥科技有限公司(簡稱 「和黃醫藥」或「Chi-Med」)(納斯達克/AIM: HCM)啟動了一項HMPL-453治療晚期惡性間皮瘤患者的II期臨床試驗。 HMPL-453是一種靶向成纖維細胞生長因子受體(「FGFR」)的新型小分子抑製劑。

該研究是一項單臂、多中心、開放標籤的臨床試驗,旨在評估HMPL-453在至少經過一線全身性治療失敗後的晚期惡性間皮瘤患者中的療效、安全性和藥代動力學特性。

該研究的主要結果指標為客觀緩解率(ORR)。次要結果指標包括初步療效,例如疾病控制率(DCR)、到達疾病緩解的時間(TTR)、緩解持續時間(DoR)、無進展生存期(PFS)和總生存期(OS)。該研究的主要研究者為上海交通大學附屬胸科醫院的陸舜教授。該項研究的其他詳情可登錄clinicaltrials.gov,檢索NCT04290325查閱。

 

關於FGFR

FGFR是受體酪氨酸激酶的亞族之一。 FGFR信號通路的激活是數個生物過程的關鍵。正常生理情況下,FGF/FGF信號通路參與胚胎髮育(器官發生和形態發生)、組織修復、血管生成、神經內分泌和代謝平衡。鑑於其在許多重要生理過程中的複雜性和關鍵作用,已發現異常的FGFR信號傳導是腫瘤生長、促進血管生成以及抗腫瘤治療抗性產生的誘因。

 

關於HMPL‑453

HMPL 453是一種新型、強效且高選擇性的小分子成纖維細胞生長因子受體(FGFR) 1、2和3抑製劑。在臨床前研究中, HMPL 453較同類其他藥物相比表現出更強的效力、更高的激酶選擇性及更佳的安全性。在中國進行的HMPL-453 I期臨床試驗的劑量遞增階段已完成患者招募,詳細內容請登錄clinicaltrials.gov,檢索NCT03160833查閱。
