カリフォルニア大学サンディエゴ校の研究者たちは、乳がん治療薬パルボシクリブが希少な虫垂がん(特に腹膜粘液性癌症)の効果的な治療法となる可能性を発見しました。このがんは従来の化学療法に耐性を示すことが多いが、パルボシクリブは腫瘍の成長を抑え、血中の腫瘍マーカーを減少させました。特に、特定の遺伝子変異を持つ患者に有効でした。既存薬の新しい応用として、即時利用が可能であり、治療の選択肢が少ない患者に希望をもたらします。

Abstract

Purpose
Mucinous neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract are characterized by a propensity for metastasis to the peritoneum, resulting in peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMC). A subset of these tumors, most often originating in the appendix, harbor mutations in the GNAS oncogene. While the natural history of GNAS-mutant PMC varies, patient outcomes are generally poor, as is response to cytotoxic chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of single-agent palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitor, in patients with GNAS-mutant PMC.

Patients and Methods
We enrolled 16 patients with PMC in a single-arm personalized cancer therapy trial. For all patients, tumor tissue and/or circulating tumor DNA genomic profiling using next-generation sequencing and, when possible, PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden, and microsatellite instability status was assessed. Twelve of 16 patients had previous disease progression on at least one previous line of chemotherapy. The primary tumor was appendix in 13 patients, unknown in two patients, and pancreas in one patient. Eleven cases were classified as low grade, and five as high grade.

Results
In 13 of 16 patients, we observed a decrease in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and in six patients, the CEA declined by >50%. As measured by clinical and modified peritoneal RECIST criteria, 50% of evaluable patients had stable disease after 12 months of palbociclib. At a median follow-up of 17.6 months, median survival has not been reached. Clinical response to CDK4/6 inhibition was mirrored in tumors with GNAS mutation and mucinous histology using an ex vivo preclinical platform.

Conclusion
CDK4/6 inhibition with palbociclib had clinical activity in PMC characterized by mutations in GNAS that was superior to that previously reported with cytotoxic chemotherapy. CDK4/6 inhibition is a novel therapeutic strategy worthy of further evaluation in this subgroup of gastrointestinal neoplasms.
