GSK presents new data showing promising anti-tumour activity with GSK3359609, an ICOS receptor agonist, in combination with pembrolizumab in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)

0

LONDON, Sept. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ GlaxoSmithKline plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) today announced GSK3359609, an inducible T cell co-stimulatory (ICOS) agonist antibody designed to selectively enhance T cell function, showed promising anti-tumour activity in combination with pembrolizumab in PD-1/L1 naive patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Findings from the INDUCE-1 study also suggested GSK3359609 has single agent activity in patients with PD-1/L1 experienced HNSCC.

The safety and tolerability profile of GSK3359609 was consistent with the results reported in the dose escalation phase of INDUCE-1. The data were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain.

Dr. Axel Hoos, Senior Vice President and Head Oncology R&D, said: “Immunotherapies such as GSK3359609 are a critical part of our oncology pipeline and we are encouraged by the INDUCE-1 data demonstrating the potential of this agent to enhance anti-tumour activity beyond what PD-1 blockade alone has demonstrated. The clinical responses observed are encouraging and, based on precedent with CTLA-4 or PD-1, we aim to demonstrate the main effect of our ICOS agonist to be on improving survival for patients, which requires further study. Based on these results, we are initiating the INDUCE-3 registrational trial to investigate the potential survival benefit of GSK3359609 with pembrolizumab in first-line recurrent/metastatic HNSCC for patients who are PD-L1 positive.”

The data presented stem from the expansion phase of INDUCE-1, a first-in-human, open-label study investigating GSK3359609 as a monotherapy and in combination with other regimens. Patients in the study had recurrent or metastatic HNSCC and had received up to five prior lines of therapy in the advanced setting. Patients in the monotherapy cohort had previously been treated with PD-1/L1 therapy and received 1 mg/kg GSK3359609. Patients in the combination cohort were naive to PD-1/L1 therapy and received 0.3 mg/kg GSK3359609 and 200 mg pembrolizumab. Patients in both cohorts were evaluated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, for up to two years.  

In the 34 evaluable patients who received the combination therapy, the overall response rate was 24% (n=8; 95% CI: 11, 58.7). Responses in the combination cohort were durable with all responding patients maintaining benefit for 6 months or longer (median not reached; 95% CI: 4.2 months, NR); the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.6 months (95% CI: 2.4, 7.4). Of the 21 patients with known PD-L1 expression data, the majority of responders and patients with stable disease had PD-L1 score below 20. Of the 16 evaluable patients who received monotherapy, the overall response rate was 6% (n=1; 95% CI: 0.2, 30.2).

The INDUCE-1 study was conducted pursuant to an agreement between GSK and Merck & Co, Inc., Kenilworth, N.J., U.S.A. (known as MSD outside the U.S. and Canada). GSK is continuing its relationship with MSD to support the INDUCE-3 phase II/III combination trial to be initiated by the end of 2019.

HNSCC is a cancer that develops from squamous cells in the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and throat, and is the seventh most common cancer worldwide with approximately 600,000 new cases diagnosed each year.i Although HNSCC occurs more frequently in men in their 50s or 60s, the incidence is increasing among younger individuals.ii HNSCC tumours are highly immunogenic and have an elevated expression of immune checkpoint modulators, including ICOS and PD-1.iii

GSK3359609 Clinical Development Programme   
The clinical development programme for GSK3359609 looks to investigate the anti-tumour potential of targeting the ICOS receptor through an agonist antibody alone and in combination with other immune checkpoint therapies for the treatment of a range of tumour types.

GSK3359609 is not currently approved for use anywhere in the world.

GSK in Oncology 
GSK is focused on maximizing patient survival through transformational medicines. GSK’s pipeline is focused on immuno-oncology, cell therapy, cancer epigenetics and synthetic lethality. Our goal is to achieve a sustainable flow of new treatments based on a diversified portfolio of investigational medicines utilising modalities such as small molecules, antibodies, antibody drug conjugates and cells, either alone or in combination.

MADRID, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — On World Heart Day, created to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and its consequences, the Olive Oil Makes a Tastier World promotional initiative of Olive Oils from Spain, in collaboration with the European Union, reminds us that eating an inadequate diet is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors.

Oleic acid, the main component of olive oils, is an ally against this type of ailment since it is a monounsaturated fat that, when it substitutes the consumption of fats and oils rich in saturated fatty acids, can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. To achieve that healthy benefit, the FDA recommends daily consumption of about 20 grams of olive oil/oleic acid, the equivalent of a tablespoon and a half.

“We have been able to verify that consuming 40 ml a day of extra virgin olive oil, within a Mediterranean diet, can reduce vascular complications by more than 30%,” said Ramón Estruch, coordinator of the PREDIMED Study, the most influential in the world about food and health. This multicenter trial (conducted in Spain between 2003-2010) found the benefits of consuming extra virgin olive oil to be within the framework of a healthy diet.

AARP Collaborates With The Hispanic Heritage Foundation To Recognize Latino Trailblazers And Leaders Making Nationwide Impact

0

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — AARP, the nation’s largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age, will sponsor the 32nd Annual Hispanic Heritage Awards to honor talented and accomplished leaders, artists and professional athletes of Hispanic descent that are making a positive impact in society. AARP also will present the Hispanic Heritage Award for Film to Mexican Actor, Writer and Producer, Eugenio Derbez. The Hispanic Heritage Foundation will host the awards on October 1st at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in Washington, D.C. and will be broadcast nationally by PBS affiliates on October 11th.

“AARP is a long-time supporter of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and its mission, and it is always a great honor to be part of a celebration that recognizes the contributions of Latino leaders from diverse backgrounds,” states Yvette Peña, Vice President of Multicultural Leadership. “This year, we are especially thrilled to present this film award to Eugenio Derbez. His career is admirable and spans four decades, and he continues to reinvent himself, both personally and professionally, in an industry that is known for limiting people’s opportunities as they age. In many ways, his work aligns with AARP’s Cincuentañeros® movement.”

Through the Cincuentañeros movement, AARP aims to change the conversation on aging and promotes a more contemporary perspective to help the Latino community celebrate life, learn from one another and feel empowered at any life stage. The goal is to change outdated beliefs on aging and encourage people across generations to live life sin cuenta (without counting or at any age).

The Hispanic Heritage Awards were established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan to commemorate the creation of Hispanic Heritage Month in America. Since that time, the Hispanic Heritage Awards are considered among the highest honors for Hispanics by Hispanics. Top Latino performers and personalities pay tribute to the Honorees from the stage. The Awards are unique in that celebrities take the stage along with educators, innovators, community and business leaders, elected officials, and others. The Awards are supported by nearly 40 national Hispanic-serving institutions who co-host the program. Surrounding events include an Honorees Dinner, Youth Leadership Summit and festive After-Party. Following the live show, PBS will broadcast the taped program on its stations on October 11th during Hispanic Heritage Month.
