Anti-PD-1 Antibody SHR-1210 Combined with Apatinib for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Gastric, or Esophagogastric Junction Cancer: An Open-label, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

Purpose: This study assessed the safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 (anti-PD-1 antibody) and apatinib (VEGFR2 inhibitor) as combination therapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), gastric, or esophagogastric junction cancer (GC/EGJC). Patients and Methods: This was an open-label, dose-escalation (phase Ia) and expansion study (phase Ib). In phase Ia, patients (n = 15) received SHR-1210 200 mg every 2 weeks and apatinib 125–500 mg once daily until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. In phase Ib, patients (n = 28) received apatinib at the phase Ia–identified recommended phase II dose (RP2D) plus SHR-1210. The primary objectives were safety and tolerability and RP2D determination. Results: At data cutoff, 43 patients were enrolled. In phase Ia, four dose-limiting toxicity events were observed (26.7%): one grade 3 lipase elevation (6.7%) in the apatinib 250 mg cohort and three grade 3 pneumonitis events (20%) in the apatinib 500 mg cohort. The maximum tolerated RP2D for apatinib was 250 mg. Of the 33 patients treated with the R2PD combination, 20 (60.6%) experienced a grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse event; adverse events in ≥10% of patients were hypertension (15.2%) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (15.2%). The objective response rate in 39 evaluable patients was 30.8% (95% CI: 17.0%–47.6%). Eight of 16 evaluable HCC patients achieved a partial response (50.0%, 95% CI: 24.7%–75.4%). Conclusions: SHR-1210 and apatinib combination therapy demonstrated manageable toxicity in patients with HCC and GC/EGJC at recommended single-agent doses of both drugs. The RP2D for apatinib as combination therapy was 250 mg, which showed encouraging clinical activity in patients with advanced HCC.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Accumulating evidence indicates that chemotherapy, radiotherapy, angiogenesis inhibitor, STING agonist, FMT, epigenetic modulators, or other immunomodulators could synergize α-PD-1/PD-L1, by enhancing cancer antigen release, APC function, or effector activity.

    “Accumulating evidence indicates that chemotherapy, radiotherapy, angiogenesis inhibitor, stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), epigenetic modulators, or other immunomodulators could synergize α-PD-1/PD-L1, by enhancing cancer antigen release, APC function, or effector activity [22–31].”
  • Combination therapies such as sintilimab plus anlotinib, sintilimab plus IBI305, camrelizumab plus apatinib, and toripalimab plus axitinib demonstrated potent antitumor effects in multiple types of cancers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
