    الوصف: Hu14.18K322A is a humanized anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody with a single point mutation that reduces complement-mediated cytotoxicity, with a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 60 mg/m2 daily for 4 days in children with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma. We report additional results of a Phase 1 trial to determine the MTD and safety profile of hu14.18K322A in patients with osteosarcoma, and of an alternative schedule of weekly hu14.18K322A administration in patients with neuroblastoma or osteosarcoma. Eligible patients with recurrent/refractory osteosarcoma received hu14.13K22A daily x4 every 28 days in a Phase 1 traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design. Additional patients with osteosarcoma were then enrolled to receive hu14.18K322A once weekly for 4 weeks per course. Patients with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma were also enrolled on the weekly schedule at 50 mg/m2/dose. Six patients with osteosarcoma treated on the daily schedule received a median of 2 (range 1–6) courses; the recommended daily dose was established as 60 mg/m2. Three patients had stable disease (SD) as best overall response. Five patients (3 neuroblastoma, 2 osteosarcoma) enrolled on the weekly schedule received a median of 1 (1–3) course; 2 achieved SD as best overall response. Pain, fever, hematologic toxicities, hyponatremia, and ocular/visual abnormalities were common toxicities among both schedules. Dose-limiting toxicities attributed to hu14.18K322A included anorexia and fatigue (n = 1). Pharmacokinetic profiles were similar between daily and weekly schedules. The recommended dose for patients with osteosarcoma receiving daily hu14.18K322A x4 is 60 mg/m2. Patients receiving the weekly schedule experienced similar pharmacokinetics and toxicity profile as the daily schedule.

    الوصف: Pulmonary ossification (PO) is a rare finding, characterized by mature bone formation in the lung parenchyma. We report a 20-year-old female patient diagnosed with fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) and bilateral diffuse nodular PO. The patient presented with a unifocal left liver mass and multiple bilateral pulmonary lesions, which were treated as metastatic disease. The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by left hepatectomy, and bilateral staged thoracotomies for clearance of the pulmonary disease. The histology of the pulmonary nodules demonstrated nodular type PO. We present the history, the course of treatment, imaging, and histologic findings of this rare disease process that could mimic metastatic pulmonary disease.

    الوصف: Hepatoblastoma (HB) requires surgical resection for cure, but only 20-30% of patients have resectable disease at diagnosis. Patients who undergo partial hepatectomy at diagnosis have historically received 4-6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy; however, those with 100% well-differentiated fetal histology (WDF) have been observed to have excellent outcomes when treated with surgery alone.Patients on the Children's Oncology Group non randomized, multicenter phase III study, AHEP0731, were stratified based on Evan's stage, tumor histology, and serum alpha-fetoprotein level at diagnosis. Patients were eligible for the very low risk stratum of surgery and observation if they had a complete resection at diagnosis and rapid central histologic review demonstrated HB with 100% WDF histology.A total of 8 eligible patients were enrolled on study between September 14, 2009 and May 28, 2014. Outcome current to 06/30/2020 was used in this analysis. The median age at enrollment was 22.5 months (range: 8-84 months) and the median AFP at enrollment was 714 ng/ml (range: 18-77,747 ng/mL). With a median follow-up of 6.6 years (range: 3.6-9.8 years), the 5-year event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were both 100%.This report supports that HB with 100% WDF histology completely resected at diagnosis is curable with surgery only. The development of evidence-based surgical guidelines utilizing criteria based on PRETEXT group, vascular involvement (annotation factors), tumor-specific histology and corresponding biology will be crucial for optimizing which patients are candidates for resection at diagnosis followed by observation.Prognosis study, Level I evidence.

    الوصف: BackgroundNatural killer (NK) cells are one of the main effector populations of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibody and cytokines, used in combination with chemotherapy to treat children with high-risk neuroblastoma on this phase II trial. However, the impact of chemoimmunotherapy on NK cell kinetics, phenotype, and function is understudied.MethodsWe prospectively examined NK cell properties from 63 children with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma enrolled in a phase II trial (NCT01857934) and correlated our findings with tumor volume reduction after 2 courses of chemoimmunotherapy. NK cell studies were conducted longitudinally during chemoimmunotherapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (autoHCT) with optional haploidentical NK cell infusion and additional immunotherapy.ResultsChemoimmunotherapy led to significant NK cytopenia, but complete NK cell recovery reliably occurred by day 21 of each therapy course as well as after autoHCT. Haploidentical NK cell infusion elevated the NK cell count transiently during autoHCT. NK cell cytotoxicity increased significantly during treatment compared with diagnosis. In addition, NK cells maintained their ability to respond to cytokine stimulation in culture longitudinally. Unsupervised cluster analysis of CD56bright NK cell count and tumor volume at diagnosis and after two courses of chemoimmunotherapy identified two patient groups with distinct primary tumor sizes and therapy responses.ConclusionAfter profound NK cytopenia due to chemoimmunotherapy, endogenously reconstituted NK cells exhibit enhanced NK cytotoxicity compared with pretherapy measurements. Our data suggest a relationship between CD56bright expression and tumor size before and after two courses of chemoimmunotherapy; however, future studies are necessary to confirm this relationship and its predictive significance.Trial registration numberNCT01857934.

    الوصف: This figure demonstrates the relationship between prior treatment with chimeric or humanized 14.18 K322A antibody and A) the area under the concentration curve for the antibody (AUC); B elimination half-life of the antibody (T1/2 Beta); and C) the highest observed concentration of the antibody (Cmax). Although the data in panels A and B suggest that prior exposure to ch14.18 or hu14.18K322A tends to increase the AUC and the elimination half-life, there is no significant difference between prior treatment groups using the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test. The data in panel C do not suggest an association between prior exposure and the peak serum concentration of the hu14.18K322A antibody.

    الوصف: Purpose: Anti-GD2 mAbs, acting via antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, may enhance the effects of chemotherapy. This pilot trial investigated a fixed dose of a unique anti-GD2 mAb, hu14.18K322A, combined with chemotherapy, cytokines, and haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells.Experimental Design: Children with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma received up to six courses of hu14.18K322A (40 mg/m2/dose, days 2–5), GM-CSF, and IL2 with chemotherapy: cyclophosphamide/topotecan (courses 1,2), irinotecan/temozolomide (courses 3,4), and ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide (courses 5,6). Parentally derived NK cells were administered with courses 2, 4, and 6. Serum for pharmacokinetic studies of hu14.18K322A, soluble IL2 receptor alpha (sIL2Rα) levels, and human antihuman antibodies (HAHA) were obtained.Results: Thirteen heavily pretreated patients (9 with prior anti-GD2 therapy) completed 65 courses. One patient developed an unacceptable toxicity (grade 4 thrombocytopenia >35 days). Four patients discontinued treatment for adverse events (hu14.18K322A allergic reaction, viral infection, surgical death, second malignancy). Common toxicities included grade 3/4 myelosuppression (13/13 patients) and grade 1/2 pain (13/13 patients). Eleven patients received 29 NK-cell infusions. The response rate was 61.5% (4 complete responses, 1 very good partial response, 3 partial responses) and five had stable disease. The median time to progression was 274 days (range, 239–568 days); 10 of 13 patients (77%) survived 1 year. Hu14.18K322A pharmacokinetics was not affected by chemotherapy or HAHA. All patients had increased sIL2Rα levels, indicating immune activation.Conclusions: Chemotherapy plus hu14.18K322A, cytokines, and NK cells is feasible and resulted in clinically meaningful responses in patients with refractory/recurrent neuroblastoma. Further studies of this approach are warranted in patients with relapsed and newly diagnosed neuroblastoma. Clin Cancer Res; 23(21); 6441–9. ©2017 AACR.
