OBJECTIVES:

The Lewis-Y antigen is expressed in 44%-90% of breast cancers (BCs). The expression of the antigen in carcinoma tissue differs from that in normal tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefit of the humanized anti-Lewis Y monoclonal antibody, hu3S193, in advanced hormone receptor-positive and Lewis Y-positive BC after administration of endocrine therapy (ET).

METHODS:

A single-arm phase II study was conducted in seven centers. Patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive BC who failed first-line ET were included. The inclusion criterion was the observation of tumoral expression of the Lewis Y antigen during immunohistochemistry. The treatment comprised hu3S193 antibody administration at weekly intravenous doses of 20 mg/m2 for 8-week cycles. The primary endpoint was the clinical benefit rate. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01370239.

RESULTS:

The study stopped accrual following an unplanned interim analysis as the hu3S193 antibody lacked sufficient activity to justify continuation of the study. Twenty-two patients were enrolled, of whom 21 were included in the efficacy analysis. The clinical benefit rate was 19%, with four patients presenting with stable disease after 24 weeks. One patient with prolonged stable disease received medication for over 2 years. No partial or complete responses were observed. The median time to progression and overall survival was 5.4 and 37.5 months, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

The humanized anti-Lewis Y monoclonal antibody, hu3S193, exhibited insufficient activity in this cohort. However, the possibility of activity in a more strictly selected subgroup of patients with higher levels of Lewis Y tumoral expression cannot be overlooked.

INTRODUCTION

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women (1). The disease has various subtypes with differing prognostic and therapeutic implications. Estrogen receptor expression occurs in 65% of invasive ductal carcinoma cases and most lobular carcinoma cases (2). Endocrine therapy (ET) is one of the standard first-line treatments for advanced hormone receptor-positive BC (3). ET has improved recently following the incorporation of targeted therapies, such as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and mTOR inhibitors (4-10); however, these treatment strategies are not yet widely available in the public health system.

After first-line treatment failure, the response to subsequent lines of ET or cytotoxic chemotherapy decreased dramatically. Treatment with second-line ET alone is associated with a median progression-free survival of only 3-5 months, with response and clinical benefit rates in the range of 20%-30% and 30%-40%, respectively (11-13). This highlights the importance of incorporating new treatment strategies in clinical practice and studying novel targets.

Alterations in blood-related antigens are often associated with neoplastic transformation (14). The Lewis-Y antigen is a member of a family of blood-related antigens, and its expression is restricted to granulocytes and epithelial surfaces in adults (15). It is expressed on the surface of 60%-90% of carcinomas (16). The Lewis-Y antigen is expressed in 44%-90% of BC cases, with variations occurring depending on the methodology used (14,17,18). In addition, its expression in cases of BC is correlated with a worse prognosis and a more advanced disease stage (14,19).

Although the Lewis-Y antigen is expressed in both normal and neoplastic cells, its expression distribution differs between the two tissue types. Expression in normal epithelial tissue is restricted to the secretory borders of epithelial surfaces, making it less accessible to the circulation. In contrast, the expression of the antigen is very high on all surfaces of carcinoma cells, including luminal surfaces. This differentiated expression pattern makes it an attractive target for treatment with monoclonal antibodies. This hypothesis is reinforced by the results of previous preclinical studies, which have demonstrated the preferential localization of anti-Lewis Y antibodies in tumor tissue after its injection into the circulation of experimental animals (20-22).

The murine monoclonal antibody 3S193 was developed to recognize the Lewis-Y antigen of the MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell line following consideration of these studies' data. The murine 3S193 antibody was specific to the Lewis-Y antigen and reactive against cells expressing the antigen (23). Therefore, a humanized immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody, hu3S193, was developed for in-human studies (16). The safety of the hu3S193 antibody and preliminary evidence of its activity in several tumor types, including BC, have been demonstrated previously (24,25).

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the hu3S193 monoclonal antibody in patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive BC after prior ET administration.

PATIENTS AND METHODSEthical approval and consent to participate

Ethical approval was obtained from the ethics committee of each participating institution. All participants provided informed consent to participate in this study.

Patients

Patients with hormone receptor-positive metastatic or locally advanced BC not amenable to curative treatment and tumoral expression of the estrogen or progesterone receptor (or both) according to immunohistochemistry (IHC) results were included in this study. Patients should have progressed following one or more lines of ET, including adjuvant ET. Patients who underwent prior treatment with up to one line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease could be included. This study was previously presented at the 2017 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, San Antonio, USA and 2018 Brazilian Breast Cancer Symposium, Pirenópolis, Brazil.

IHC revealed that all patients exhibited tumor expression of the Lewis-Y antigen. Tumor expression of the Lewis Y antigen by IHC was performed by central analysis (LIM 14 of the Medical School of the University of São Paulo). The samples were considered positive if any reaction was observed in the membrane of the tumor cells.

Other inclusion criteria included an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 or 1 and preserved organic functions.

The exclusion criteria included overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (defined as IHC 3+ or positive fluorescence in situ hybridization), life-threatening visceral metastatic disease (defined as extensive hepatic involvement, symptomatic pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis, and cerebral or leptomeningeal metastases), and the need for systemic corticosteroid or immunosuppressive agent administration.

Outcomes

The primary endpoint was the clinical benefit rate of the hu3S193 monoclonal antibody, defined as complete or partial response, or stable disease for at least 24 weeks.

The secondary endpoints were the following: response and non-progression rate, overall survival, time to progression, and safety. The response rate was defined as the proportion of patients who presented with a complete or partial response. The non-progression rate was defined as the proportion of patients who presented with complete or partial response or stable disease, regardless of the duration of the latter.

Overall survival was defined as the time from the first study drug dose until death from any cause. Patients without this event were censored on the date of the last follow-up. Time to progression was defined as the time from the first study drug dose to any clinical or radiological progression. Patients who did not experience these events were censored at the last follow-up date or the date of death without progression.

Study design

The HumanaH trial was a phase II single-arm trial, which was coordinated by the Instituto do Câncer do Estado de São Paulo (NCT01370239) and conducted in seven centers in Brazil.

The treatment comprised weekly administration of the hu3S193 antibody with intravenous infusions of 20 mg/m2. Each treatment cycle lasted for 8 weeks. Treatment continued until clinical or radiological disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or a decision by the investigator. The protocol allowed for dose reduction. In cases of grade 3 or 4 non-allergic toxicities, treatment would have been delayed for up to 14 days until the toxicities were reduced to grade 1 or 2 and resumed with a 25% dose reduction. Treatment would have been discontinued in cases where no improvement occurred within 14 days.

Study supervision

The Ethics Committee of each participating institution approved the study, which was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice guidelines. The patients read and signed an informed consent form before undergoing any of the study procedures.

Recepta Biopharma (S. Paulo, Brazil) was granted the use of hu3S193 antibodies. The study was sponsored by the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), Grant N0 52/2009 edital CNPq.

The authors were responsible for the design of the study, analyzing the results, and writing of the manuscript.

Assessments

Radiological responses were evaluated every 8 weeks. Mandatory radiological images comprised computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. Brain imaging and bone scans were performed if clinically indicated. The radiological responses were evaluated based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.

Adverse events were monitored, and their severity was scaled using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03.

Human anti-human antibodies (HAHA) tests were performed periodically at baseline, week 8 of each cycle, at the end of treatment, and if immune-mediated adverse events occurred. Samples were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Treatment with hu3S193 antibodies should be discontinued if the patient tests positive for HAHA.

Statistical analyses

Efficacy analyses were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. All patients receiving at least one dose of hu3S193 were included in the safety analysis.

We calculated our sample size based on the historical clinical benefit rates of three studies that included a similar profile of patients treated with ET (11,12,26). A historical and clinical benefit rate of hu3S193 of 40% and 60%, respectively, was estimated. A total of 60 patients would be required if a two-sided alpha error of 5%, power of 85%, and withdrawal rate of 10% occur.

Because many patients discontinued the study because of disease progression, an unplanned interim analysis was performed. The interim analysis detected a two-sided alpha error of 5%, a beta error of 20%, and a historical and clinical benefit rate with hy3S193 of 40% and 60%, respectively. Trials should be terminated if 10 or fewer patients responded after 21 patients were tested at the first stage, according to Simon's two-stage design. If 11 or more patients respond, the trial should continue to the second stage to include a total of 60 patients.

Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient characteristics, radiological responses, and adverse events. Continuous variables are presented as medians and ranges, while categorical variables are presented as absolute and relative frequencies. Clinical benefit and non-progression rates were presented as proportions and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Stata software version 14 (StataCorp, Texas, USA) was used to perform statistical analyses.

RESULTSPatients characteristics

Forty-nine patients were screened for inclusion in the trial between November 2013 and July 2015, of whom 23 were initially considered eligible. One eligible patient was lost to follow-up before treatment initiation. Twenty-two patients received at least one dose of hu3S193 and were included in the safety analyses.

One of these patients was incorrectly included in the trial, as she had lung metastasis which was mistaken for interstitial lung disease. This patient was not included in the efficacy analysis because she did not meet the study eligibility criteria. The remaining 21 patients were included in the efficacy analyses. The CONSORT diagram is shown in Figure 1.

Efficacy

The study was discontinued after an unplanned interim analysis because of futility. The hu3S193 antibody did not exhibit sufficient activity to justify the continuation of the study.

The median follow-up period was 19 months at the time of study interruption. Four patients experienced clinical benefits because of hu3S193 antibody administration, corresponding to a clinical benefit rate of 19% (95% CI, 2.5%-35.8%). All patients who experienced clinical benefits presented with stable disease for at least 24 weeks. One patient received medication for more than 2 years and had stable disease. This patient presented with elevated Lewis-Y antigen expression, as shown in Figure 2. None of the patients exhibited partial or complete responses. The non-progression rate was 57.1% (95% CI, 36%-78.3%). The radiological responses are summarized in Table 2. The median time to progression was 5.4 months (95% CI, 1.7-18.9 months).

Adverse events

Two patients experienced serious adverse events potentially related to the study treatment. One patient presented with dyspnea, and the other experienced vomiting, dyspnea, and infection (two episodes of pneumonia and one instance of urinary tract infection). Both patients recovered fully.

All patients who received at least one dose of treatment experienced non-serious adverse events potentially related to the study treatment. The most common of these were headache (n=11), cough (n=10), nausea (n=7), vomiting (n=7), and musculoskeletal pain (n=6). Major events (grade 3 or 4) were uncommon. Adverse events are shown in Table 3 and ordered according to grade.

DISCUSSION

In this phase II study, patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive BC that progressed after ET was administered underwent treatment with a humanized antibody that targeted the Lewis-Y antigen, hu3S193. This agent did not exhibit sufficient activity to justify the continuation of the study, which was concluded following an unplanned interim analysis because of futility. Among 21 patients, only 4 had stable disease after 24 weeks and none had partial or complete responses (clinical benefit rate of 19%).

Another phase II study evaluating the efficacy of hu3S193 in patients with advanced, platinum-resistant, ovarian, tubal, or primary peritoneal cancer had similar results (27). This study was also interrupted prematurely because of low drug activity and had a clinical benefit rate of 23% (stable disease confirmed at 24 weeks) with no documented partial or complete responses.

However, one patient experienced prolonged clinical benefits following treatment and attained stable disease after 2 years of hu3S193 antibody treatment. The patient exhibited elevated Lewis-Y tumor expression. Thus, a more strictly selected patient population (characterized by elevated Lewis-Y tumoral expression) may still benefit from the treatment.

Treatment with the hu3S193 antibody proved to be safe and well-tolerated. The adverse events potentially related to the study treatment were mostly low-grade and manageable, consisting mainly of headaches, cough, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, and vomiting. No serious adverse events mediated by the immune system were observed.

It is important to note that significant changes in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive BC occurred after the conclusion of this study because of the advent of CDK inhibitors, as mentioned previously. The benefit of combining these drugs with ET has been demonstrated in both first-line and second-line settings (4-9). Three drugs of this class (palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib) have changed the treatment algorithm for advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor-positive BC and have been incorporated into clinical practice in many countries following robust improvements in progression-free survival rates (28).

In conclusion, the anti-Lewis Y antibody, hu3S193, exhibited insufficient efficacy in patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive and Lewis-Y antigen-positive BC that progressed after ET was administered. Its potential efficacy in patients with increased Lewis-Y antigen tumoral expression cannot be ruled out. No relevant toxicity with hu3s193 was observed.
