Ombrabulin plus cisplatin versus placebo plus cisplatin in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas after failure of anthracycline and ifosfamide chemotherapy: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial.
    The Lancet. Oncology, 2015, Volume: 16, Issue:5

    Ombrabulin (AVE8062) disrupts the vasculature of established tumours and has shown preclinical synergistic anti-tumour activity when combined with cisplatin. In this phase 3 trial, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ombrabulin plus cisplatin compared with placebo plus cisplatin in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas.. We did this multinational, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study at 44 centres in ten countries. Patients aged 18 years and older with metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and who had previously received treatment with anthracycline and ifosfamide were randomly assigned (1:1) to intravenous infusion of ombrabulin 25 mg/m(2) plus cisplatin 75 mg/m(2) or intravenous infusion of placebo plus cisplatin 75 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks. Patients were allocated to treatment using a permuted blocks randomisation scheme (block size of four) via an interactive voice-response system, and stratified by histological subtype. Patients, medical staff, study investigators, and individuals who handled and analysed the data were masked to treatment assignment. Our primary endpoint was median progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population. Safety analyses were done on all randomised patients who received at least one dose of study drug. This trial is now closed, and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00699517.. Between June 13, 2008, and April 26, 2012, we randomly assigned 355 patients to ombrabulin plus cisplatin (n=176) or placebo plus cisplatin (n=179). Median duration of follow-up was 27·9 (IQR 20·9-33·2) in the placebo group and 30·5 months (20·7-37·6) in the ombrabulin group. Progression-free survival was slightly, but significantly, improved in the ombrabulin group compared with the placebo group (median 1·54 months [95% CI 1·45-2·69] vs 1·41 [1·38-1·58] months; hazard ratio 0·76 [95% CI 0·59-0·98]; p=0·0302). Grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred more frequently in individuals in the ombrabulin group than in those in the placebo group and included neutropenia (34 [19%] in the ombrabulin group vs 14 [8%] in the placebo group) and thrombocytopenia (15 [8%] vs six [3%] for placebo). Adverse events leading to death occurred in 18 patients in the ombrabulin group and 10 patients in the placebo group.. The combination of ombrabulin and cisplatin significantly improved progression-free survival; however, it did not show a sufficient clinical benefit in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas to support its use as a therapeutic option. Predictive biomarkers are needed for the rational clinical development of tumour vascular-disrupting drugs for soft-tissue sarcomas.. Sanofi.

Induction of tumour blood flow stasis and necrosis: a new function for epinephrine similar to that of combretastatin A-4 derivative AVE8062 (AC7700).
    British journal of cancer, 2004, Jan-26, Volume: 90, Issue:2

    AVE8062, a derivative of combretastatin A-4, has a strong stanching effect on tumour blood flow (TBF), which leads to complete blockage of nutrient supply to solid tumours and their necrosis. Previously, we reported that TBF stasis is due to increased arteriolar resistance caused by AVE8062 and a lasting decrease in perfusion pressure in tumour-feeding vessels. Here, we measured changes in TBF in rat solid tumour LY80 during continuous administration of AVE8062-like epinephrine or four catecholamines that are unlike AVE8062 (norepinephrine, dopamine, methoxamine, and metaraminol) to the region of increased vascular resistance. Venous administration of 0.3 mg ml(-1) epinephrine caused TBF to fall immediately to near zero, where it remained throughout the administration period. With a 30-min drug administration, TBF began to recover immediately when drug administration halted. With a 60-min epinephrine administration, TBF recovered somewhat, but not to the previous level. With drug administration of 120 min, TBF did not recover during the subsequent 8 h. Likewise, 0.1 mg ml(-1) epinephrine produced irreversible occlusion after 120 min of administration. In contrast, 120 min of administration of the four other catecholamines resulted in no occlusion. Only the group given 0.3 mg ml(-1) epinephrine (not that given methoxamine) showed significantly greater necrosis than the control. We conclude that, for epinephrine to cause irreversible occlusion of these vessels, a marked decrease in perfusion pressure in tumour-feeding blood vessels is necessary and should be maintained for 2 h. This conclusion is consistent with the previously demonstrated mechanism of irreversible arteriole occlusion caused by AVE8062. AVE8062 and epinephrine appear to have the same mechanism of action regarding induction of tumour blood flow stasis.
