Kasey Altman Treatment Options Working Document
2
3
This working document records the wide-ranging brainstorming of treatment options for Kasey Altman gathered and reviewed between June and August 2021. The lists were clustered into:
4
-- Kasey's Treatment Options Short List (validated, available) = Prioritized contingency plan in case Kasey has a relapse ("Plans B, C, and D")
5
-- Treatment Options for Keeping Kasey's Cancer at Bay (No Evidence of Disease)
6
-- Future Treatment Options (Keep an eye on as they develop)
7
-- Treatment Options Considered and Dismissed
8
The treatment options short list was input to a prioritization process in which a treatment strategy was developed and Kasey's best next treatments were identified.

Context
11
Challenge: Kasey has a rare cancer that responds well to chemotherapy, but it comes back in 70% of cases. There are no known (effective) treatments in case of a relapse.
12
Drivers of Kasey's tumor: The PAX3-FOX01 fusion and MYCN amplification. "Probably anything else will be secondary." Her tumor cells have mutant TP-53 (deletion), are positive for B7-H3; negative for NY-ESO-1, Her2, PD-L1, EGFR.
13
Problem: Targeting these alterations. The TRACK molecular tumor board outlined what is known about targeting them. Unfortunately, this is an evolving field, and the knowledge re targeting them is far from definitive. Need to dig into the literature.

update 8/4//21 Treatment Prioritization Strategy: [David Shalinsky:] Prioritize currently-approved anticancer drugs available for off-label use, potentially in combination with cytotoxic or targeted agents, based on practical availability. In addition, approved drugs undergoing clinical trials with novel agents and/or regimens are attractive, albeit to a lesser degree based on the uncertainties associated clinical trials. The rationale for which drugs/test agents to use should be based on target expression/activity (and mechanism-of-action) in Kasey's malignancy along with preclinical and/or clinical data demonstrating proof-of-mechanism of target inhibition, modulation (or efficacy). Fortunately, there are a number of currently-approved drugs (for example, mTOR inhibitors (e.g., Temsirolimus), HDAC inhibitors, PARP inhibitors (e.g., Olaparib), BET-BRD4 inhibitors, MEK inhibitors, ALK inhibitors (e.g., Crizotinib), and even a BCL2 modulator (e.g.,Venetoclax), for which a rationale can be developed. Despite many caveats, the COG Working Group's white paper on prioritization of novel therapies offers preclinical/clinical guidance generated with great due diligence (Pacenta et.al., J Clin Med 10, 1416, 2021). The clinical treatment plan rests solely with the clinical oncologist and his/her team. Our goal is to help Kasey's clinical oncology team to evaluate and prioritize potential therapies based on the strongest rationale. Biomarker interrogation of Kasey's archival biopsy(ies) is key, e.g., demonstration of PAX3-FOXO1 fusion. Additional biomarker interrogation may be informative. This summary is a working draft in progress.

Seattle Children'shttps://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04483778Elena Brin (June 17): CAR-T therapy for B7-H3 is worth keeping an eye on. CAR-Ts target any tumor antigens that are overexpressed, which is the case here. The targeted tumor antigen doesn't have to be driving the tumor (though ideally it would). It doesn't have to have any functionality within the tumor, but it has to be greatly overexpressed over normal tissue. It is an immunotherapy, but in this case, B7-H3 is just simply being used as a tag to find tumor cells versus normal cells. CAR-T had great success in hematological cancers; in solid tumors immunosuppressive TME can be an issue, combination with checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. anti-PD-1) might help boost CAR-T effectiveness.

6/22/21: It's a specific Bcl-2 inhibitor (ABT-199) which in our preclinical data at least showed some mild effects on aRMS cells. However, these are by far not as strong as with Navitoclax and in that case we would still be missing the AuroraKinase inhibition or maybe another drug.

T cells able to recognize self antigens are eliminated in early development to avoid autoimmunity.

6/21/21Navitoclax and AlisertibJohannes Omer (via Rebecca Owens)6/22/21: When I was working on that publication with Navitoclax and Alisertib both were in investigated in different phase I and II clinical trials in different cancer \entities (mostly haematological cancers). Navitoclax apparently has shown certain difficult adverse events (thrombocytopenia) potentially through an "on-target" effect on Bcl-Xl. Abbvie likely has suspended their trials due to that but the effect we can observe in our research likely is dependent on exactly that effect on Bcl-Xl.

Most importantly, we have not had any rhabdomyosarcoma patients in the INBRX-109 studies. We have seen promising single agent data in chondrosaracoma and just started a registration study, we also have a study starting shortly in Ewings sarcoma in combination with irinotecan and pre-clinically it looks very promising. We did a study in synovial sarcoma as a single agent and the activity was minimal. That said, we are not sure if 109 would be viable in rhabdomyosarcoma.
