RESUMO

Naratuximab emtansine (IMGN529) is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a CD37-targeting antibody conjugated to the maytansine-derived microtuble disruptor, DM1. IMGN529 has shown promising preclinical and clinical activity in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Due to the aggressive nature of the disease, DLBCL is often treated with combination therapies to maximize clinical outcomes; therefore, we investigated the potential of combining IMGN529 with both standard-of-care and emerging therapies against multiple oncology-relevant targets and pathways. The strongest enhancement in potency was seen with anti-CD20 antibodies, including rituximab. The combination of IMGN529 and rituximab was more potent than either agent alone, and this combinatorial benefit was associated with increased apoptotic induction and cell death. Additional studies revealed that rituximab treatment increased the internalization and degradation of the CD37-targeting antibody moiety of IMGN529. The combination of IMGN529 and rituximab was highly efficacious in multiple xenograft models, with superior antitumor efficacy seen compared to either agent alone or treatment with R-CHOP therapy. These findings suggest a novel mechanism whereby the potency of IMGN529 can be enhanced by CD20 binding, which results in the increased internalization and degradation of IMGN529 leading to the generation of greater amounts of cytotoxic catabolite. Overall, these data provide a biological rationale for the enhanced activity of IMGN529 in combination with rituximab and support the ongoing clinical evaluation of IMGN529 in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed and/or refractory DLBCL.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To deepen our understanding of mutant ROS1 expression, localization, and frequency in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we developed a highly specific and sensitive immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based assay that is useful for the detection of wild-type and mutant ROS1. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We analyzed 556 tumors with the ROS1 D4D6 rabbit monoclonal antibody IHC assay to assess ROS1 expression levels and localization. A subset of tumors was analyzed by FISH to determine the percentage of these tumors harboring ROS1 translocations. Using specific and sensitive IHC assays, we analyzed the expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), EGFR L858R, and EGFR E746-A750del mutations in a subset of lung tumors, including those expressing ROS1. RESULTS: In our NSCLC cohort of Chinese patients, we identified 9 (1.6%) tumors expressing ROS1 and 22 (4.0%) tumors expressing ALK. FISH identified tumors with ALK or ROS1 rearrangements, and IHC alone was capable of detecting all cases with ALK and ROS1 rearrangements. ROS1 fusion partners were determined by reverse transcriptase PCR identifying CD74-ROS1, SLC34A2-ROS1, and FIG-ROS1 fusions. Some of the ALK and ROS1 rearranged tumors may also harbor coexisting EGFR mutations. CONCLUSIONS: NSCLC tumors with ROS1 rearrangements are uncommon in the Chinese population and represent a distinct entity of carcinomas. The ROS1 IHC assay described here is a valuable tool for identifying patients expressing mutant ROS1 and could be routinely applied in clinical practice to detect lung cancers that may be responsive to targeted therapies.
