2. Targeted Therapy ?* normal cells, the pathways that control cell growth, death, and differentiation are regulated byIn communication within the cell, called signal transduction, and by signals that pass from one cell to another. cancer cell, these regulatory mechanisms are bypassed, so the cells avoid cell death and demonstrate In uncontrolled growth and impaired differentiation.Growing tumors associated with neovascularization and evading the immune systemTargeted therapy refers to a growing class of agents that target molecular pathways that are known to be altered in cancer cells and micor-enviroment.Chabner BA, Barnes J, Neal J, et al.

Ipilimumab (Yervoy)A total of 676 patients with unresectable stage III or IVmelanoma, were randomly assigned, in a 3:1:1 ratio, toreceive ipilimumab plus gp100 (403 patients),ipilimumab alone (137), or gp100 alone (136).Ipilimumab, at a dose of 3 mg per kilogram of bodyweight, was administered with or without gp100 every 3weeks for up to four treatments (induction). Eligiblepatients could receive reinduction therapy. The primaryend point was overall survival.**Improved Survival with Ipilimumab in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma. F.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2003;100:4712-4717. 15. Dermatologic Toxicity (contd):*Topical glucocorticosteroids (e.g., betamethasone 0.1% cream) or urea-containing creams in combination with oral antipruritics (e.g.,diphenhydramine HCl or hydroxyzine HCl) are recommended for G1-2.For G 3 dermatologic irAEs, one should hold a dose and treat with a 3 to4-week tapering course of oral steroids, starting at 1 mg/kg prednisoneor dexamethasone 4 mg four times orally daily.Ipilimumab can be held for moderate to severe skin toxicity but shouldbe permanently discontinued for severe, life-threatening skin toxicityand steroids initiated at 1 to 2 mg/kg prednisone orally or its equivalenttapering over not less than 30 days.*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S.

Immune-related Adverse Events irAEs(contd)Diarrhea/ColitisGI and hepatic adverse events began to occur within 6 to 7 weeksDiarrhea occurs in up to 44% of patients receiving Ipilimumab at dose of 10 mg/kg.*Severe diarrhea (grade 3 or 4; at least six diarrheal bowel movements above baseline in 24 hours) was reported in approximately 18% of patients.*Diarrhea can also be associated with signs and symptoms of colitis, which can lead to obstruction and bowel perforation, potentially requiring colostomy. The rate of bowel perforation is less than 1%.*IrAE-related colitis involves the descending colon more often than the sigmoid colon, ascending colon, or rectum.** *Robert C, Thomas L, Bondarenko I, et al: Ipilimumab plus dacarbazine for previously untreated metastatic melanoma.

Diarrhea/Colitis (cond):*Low-grade diarrhea (grade 1, an increase of 2 over baseline in 24hours) should be treated symptomatically using loperamide, oralhydration, and electrolyte substitution.With persistent or higher-grade diarrhea, bacterial or parasiticinfection, viral gastroenteritis, or the first manifestation of an IBDmust be ruled out by examination for stool leukocytes, stool cultures,and a Clostridium difficile titer.Grade 2 diarrhea can be treated with the addition of oraldiphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulfate four times daily.Endoscopy is recommended to confirm or rule out colitis withpersistent grade 2 diarrhea or grades 1 to 2 diarrhea with bleeding.*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S. Weber, Katharina C. Kahler, and Axel Hauschild VOLUME JULY 202012 18. Diarrhea/Colitis (cond):* For grade 3 or 4 diarrhea (7 or more increase over baseline in 24 hours), treatment with ipilimumab should be permanently discontinued and intravenous steroids and replenishment of fluid and electrolytes intravenously should be instituted. Intravenousmethylprednisolone 125 mg should be given. Oral dexamethasone 4 mg every four hours or prednisone 1 to 2 mg/kg/daily can be given thereafter, followed by a taper and discontinuation over the next 6 weeks. If intravenous steroids followed by high-dose oral steroids does not decrease symptoms within 48 to 72 hours,treatment with infliximab at 5 mg/kg every 2 weeks is an alternative. Once relief of symptoms is achieved, which can be very rapid and dramatic, it should be discontinued and a prolonged steroid taper over 45 to 60 days should be instituted.*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S.

Immune-related Adverse Events irAEs(contd) Hypophysitis :* Immune-related hypophysitis occurs in 1% to 6% of patients treated with 3 or 10 mg/kg ipilimumab. Headache,nausea, vertigo, behavior change, visual disturbances such as diplopia, and weakness occur at an average of 6 weeks after initiation of therapy. The most important differential diagnosis is the new occurrence of brain metastases. Magnetic resonance imaging scans with gadolinium and selective cuts of the pituitary can show enlargement or heterogeneity and confirm the diagnosis* Blansfield JA, Beck KE, Tran K, et al: Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 blockage can induce autoimmune hypophysitis in patients withmetastatic melanoma and renal cancer. J Immunother 28:593-598, 2005 24. Hypophysitis (contd):* Before treatment, a blood sample should be taken todetermine pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and gonadalstatus (serum morning cortisol, adrenocorticotropichormone [ACTH], free triiodothyronine [T3], freethyroxine [T4], thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH]and,in addition, testosterone in males and folliclestimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, andprolactin in females). Typically, low levels of thyroid, adrenal, and gonadalhormones are found, but they may all be reduced,only one axis may be decreased, or one may be spared.*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S. Weber, Katharina C. Kahler, and AxelHauschild VOLUME JULY 20 2012 25. Hypophysitis (contd): * For symptomatic pan-hypopituitarism and for any grade 3 to 4endocrinopathy, the ipilimumab dose should be held, initial dose of methylprednisolone 1 to 2 mg/kg intravenously shouldAnbe given. This should be followed by prednisone 1 to 2 mg/kg, orally onceper day with gradual tapering over 4 weeks and replacement ofappropriate hormones as the steroid dose is tapered. Usually, after a fewdays, symptoms improve, and a reduction of the swelling andheterogeneity of the pituitary gland can be observed radiologically. Consultation with an endocrinologist is appropriate for furthermanagement.*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S. Weber, Katharina C.

Immune-related Adverse Events irAEs(contd) Pancreatitis: * Immune-related pancreatitis has been reported in less than 1.5% of patients receiving anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. This generally manifested as an asymptomatic increase of amylase and lipase, although some patients also had accompanying fevers and malaise. Nausea and vomiting were rare, although abdominal pain was frequent, often low grade, and out proportion to the degree of increase in the results of blood tests. An oral steroid taper with prednisone or dexamethasone was indicated, but often this had minimal immediate effects on the biochemical abnormalities that resolve slowly.*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S.

Immune-related Adverse Events irAEs(contd) Neuropathies:* Transient peripheral neuropathies, both sensory and motor, have been reported in lessthan 1% of patients. In some cases, they were minor and simply resolved spontaneously. One can hold a dose of ipilimumab in patients with persistent grade 2 neuropathy that isnot interfering with daily activities. Persisting and worsening neuropathies should betreated with an oral steroid taper with prednisone or dexamethasone of 3 to 4 weeks. For severe (grade 3 and 4) neuropathies, ipilimumab should be permanently discontinued,and one should initiate systemic corticosteroids at a dose of prednisone or equivalent 1 to 2mg/kg once per day, including tapering over at least 30 days*Management of Immune-Related Adverse Events and Kinetics of Response With Ipilimumab, Jeffrey S.

Unique Kinetic of Response.The first response criteria for solid tumors were developed approximately 30 years ago by the World Health Organization (WHO).*More recently, these criteria have been superseded by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) published in 2000**, and updated in 2009 (RECIST 1.1)***.Using the latter criteria, early increases in tumor size or the appearance of new lesions is classified as progressive disease, a term now synonymous with treatment failure***.Frequency of tumour re-evaluation while on treatment should be protocol specific and adapted to the type and schedule of treatment. However, in the context of phase II studies where the beneficial effect of therapy is not known, follow-up every 68 weeks***. *Reporting results of cancer treatment.

Unique Kinetic of Response (cond) Hamid et al.* undertook a review and analysis of five studies on 269 patients with stage III or IV melanoma to determine the kinetics and duration of response with ipilimumab. An objective response was observed in 41 patients (15%). Some patients had a late onset CR or PR occurring, at 10106 weeks and 562 weeks after treatment initiation, respectively. In 28 patients, onset of response occurred after more than 12 weeks of treatment, and in 4 patients, PD preceded a response without additional therapy. In some patients, PD was followed by SD, and ultimately, PR. The duration of response has been considerable as well, with the overall response duration ranging from 6 to 187 weeks. Late-onset response was not associated with dose, regimen or concomitant therapy.*Hamid O, Urba WJ, Yellin M et al (2007) Kinetics of response to ipilimumab (MDX-010) in patients with stage III/IV melanoma.
