Phase Ib Study of Navicixizumab Plus Paclitaxel in Patients With Platinum-Resistant Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

PURPOSE: This phase Ib study evaluated the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel plus navicixizumab, a bispecific antiangiogenic antibody to vascular endothelial growth factor and delta-like ligand 4, against platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This open-label, nonrandomized, dose-escalation and -expansion study included 44 patients with previously treated, recurrent, platinum-resistant grade 2/3 ovarian cancer. Treatment was intravenous navicixizumab (3 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg once every 2 weeks) plus paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 intravenously on days 0, 7, and 14 of 28-day cycles). The primary and secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety and efficacy of navicixizumab plus paclitaxel. An RNA-based diagnostic panel was retrospectively used to test the hypothesis that tumors with high angiogenesis or immune-suppressed tumor microenvironment (TME) subtypes (biomarker-positive) are more likely to respond to navicixizumab than those with immune-active/-desert TME subtypes (biomarker-negative). RNA expression was analyzed in available pretreatment tumor tissue to classify 33 patients' TME subtypes, and TME panel findings were correlated with tumor response.

RESULTS: The dose-escalation cohorts enrolled patients at navicixizumab doses of 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks (n = 3) and 4 mg/kg once every 2 weeks (n = 2); 3 mg/kg was selected for expansion (n = 39). No dose-limiting toxicities occurred. The most common grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were hypertension (40.9%), neutropenia (6.8%), and thrombocytopenia (4.5%). Pulmonary hypertension occurred in 18.2% (grade 1-2). The overall objective response rate was 43.2% (95% CI, 28.3 to 59.0): 33.3% (95% CI, 17.3 to 52.8) in patients previously treated with bevacizumab, 64.3% (95% CI, 35.1 to 87.2) in bevacizumab-naive patients, and 62% (95% CI, 31.6 to 86.1) in biomarker-positive patients. The median duration of response was 6 months (95% CI, 5.4 months to not estimable).

CONCLUSION: Navicixizumab plus paclitaxel demonstrated promising clinical activity in bevacizumab-treated and -naive patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, with manageable toxicity.
