The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

SIRPa-4-1BBL fusion protein DSP107. A bi-functional, trimeric, fusion protein consisting of the extracellular domains (ECDs) of human signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPalpha; SIRPa; CD172a) fused to a 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory, immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, the SIRPa-4-1BBL fusion protein DSP107 selectively targets and binds to both CD47 expressed on tumor cells and 4-1BB (CD137; tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9; TNFRSF9) expressed on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Binding to CD47 blocks the interaction of CD47 with endogenous SIRPa, a cell surface protein expressed on macrophages. This prevents CD47/SIRPa-mediated signaling and abrogates the CD47/SIRPa-mediated inhibition of macrophage activation and phagocytosis of cancer cells. This induces pro-phagocytic signaling mediated by the binding of calreticulin (CRT), which is specifically expressed on the surface of tumor cells, to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1), which is expressed on macrophages, and results in macrophage activation and the specific phagocytosis of tumor cells. The binding of 4-1BBL to 4-1BB activates 4-1BB-mediated signaling, induces cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) proliferation, cytokine production and promotes a CTL-mediated anti-tumor immune response as well as NK-mediated tumor cell killing. The crosslinking specifically enables the activation of 4-1BB-mediated signaling in T-cells and NK cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), allowing targeted immune responses in the TME. CD47, also called integrin-associated protein (IAP), is a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) expressed on normal, healthy hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and overexpressed on the surface of a variety of cancer cells. Expression of CD47, and its interaction with SIRPa, leads to the inhibition of macrophage activation and protects cancer cells from phagocytosis, thereby allowing cancer cells to proliferate. 4-1BB, a surface glycoprotein of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is an inducible costimulatory receptor that plays a key role in T-cell proliferation, survival and cytolytic activity. NCI Drug Dictionary

atezolizumab. A humanized, Fc optimized, monoclonal antibody directed against the protein ligand PD-L1 (programmed cell death-1 ligand 1; CD274), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Atezolizumab binds to PD-L1, blocking its binding to and activation of its receptor programmed death 1 (PD-1; PDCD1) expressed on activated T cells, which may enhance the T-cell-mediated immune response to neoplasms and reverse T-cell inactivation. In addition, by binding to PD-L1, atezolizumab also prevents binding of this ligand to B7.1 (CD80) expressed on activated T cells, which further enhances the T-cell-mediated immune response. PD-L1 is overexpressed on many human cancer cell types and on various tumor-infiltrating immune cells. PD-L1 binding to PD-1 on T cells suppresses the immune system and results in increased immune evasion. PD-1, a transmembrane protein, is a negative regulator of the immune system that limits the expansion and survival of CD8+ T cells. The Fc region of atezolizumab is modified in such a way that it does not induce either antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). NCI Drug Dictionary

fruquintinib. An orally available, small molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), with potential anti-angiogenic and antineoplastic activities. Upon oral administration, fruquintinib inhibits VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGFRs 1, 2, and 3 which may result in the inhibition of migration, proliferation and survival of endothelial cells, microvessel formation, the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, and tumor cell death. Expression of VEGFRs may be upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types. NCI Drug Dictionary

Treatments listed in the registry

  • DSP107 + Atezolizumab (Drug): DSP107 infusion begins ~30 (±10) minutes after completion of atezolizumab infusion on Day 1.
  • Fruquintinib (Drug): 5 mg orally, once daily (with or without food), on Days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle, followed by 7 days off.

The study

Treatment groups

Randomized · Parallel · masking: None

DSP107 in combination with Atezolizumab (Experimental)

DSP107 10 mg/kg IV on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Atezolizumab 1680 mg IV on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle.

Fruquintinib (Active Comparator)

Participants will receive fruquintinib orally in 28-day cycles, for up to 24 cycles (96 weeks), or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study withdrawal.

Goals

What the study measures

Main goals

  • To determine Median overall survival (mOS) in participants treated with the combination of DSP107 and atezolizumab versus fruquintinib. (From Day 1 until date of death from any cause assessed up to 2 years)

Other goals

  • Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
  • Changes in 12-lead ECG parameters
  • Change in Overall Survival (OS)
  • Change from Baseline in Quality of Life (QoL)
  • Change from Baseline in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure
  • Change from Baseline in Pulse Rate
  • To evaluate the immunogenicity of DSP107 when administered in combination with atezolizumab.

Planned enrollment: 90 (estimated).
