米イェール大学医学部の研究チームは、乳がん治療薬として用いられている薬剤が、治療抵抗性の子宮体がんに対して有効であることを明らかにした。研究では、標準治療後に再発または進行した子宮体がん患者を対象に解析を行い、一部の乳がん治療薬が腫瘍増殖を抑制し、生存期間延長に寄与する可能性を確認した。特に、ホルモン受容体や細胞増殖シグナルに関わる分子機構を標的とすることで、従来治療に耐性を示したがん細胞にも効果を発揮したという。研究チームは、既存薬を別疾患へ応用する「ドラッグ・リポジショニング」の有効例と位置付けており、新規薬剤開発より迅速に臨床応用できる利点を強調している。今回の成果は、治療選択肢が限られていた進行性子宮体がん患者に新たな治療可能性を示すものであり、今後さらに大規模臨床試験による有効性・安全性評価が進められる予定である。

Abstract

Purpose: Endometrial cancer (EC) patients who progress after chemotherapy/immunotherapy have limited treatment options. We evaluated the activity and safety of sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a Trop-2-directed ADC, in patients with advanced/recurrent EC, including carcinosarcoma. Patients and Methods: This was a phase 2, two-stage open-label investigator-initiated trial of persistent/recurrent EC patients who had progressed following >=1 prior chemotherapy. Patients received SG 10 mg/kg on days 1, 8 q3 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints included clinical benefit rate (CBR=complete response [CR]+partial response [PR]+stable disease ≥ 6mo), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety. Trop-2 expression was analyzed by IHC as an H-score. Results: Fifty patients were screened and 21 enrolled during stage 1; 34 patients were screened and 29 enrolled during stage 2; 84% (n=42) of patients harbored serous carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, or grade 3 endometrioid tumors. Patients received a median of 2 prior therapies (range:1-4) and 50% had failed pembrolizumab/dostarlimab. At a median follow-up (range) of 11.0 (2.9-65.5) months, ORR was 28% (95% CI,16%-42%), including CRs (4%) and PRs (24%). Median DOR (95%CI) was 9.3 (2.0–12.9) months, with 4 still responding. CBR was 52% (26/50). Median PFS and OS were 5.5 (95% CI:3.7-7.4) and 17.5 (95% CI:10.4-22.2) months, respectively. Grade 3-4 toxicity occurred in 88% with no attributable deaths. Mean H-scores did not predict response. Conclusions: SG demonstrated encouraging efficacy in a pretreated population that included biologically aggressive recurrent EC. Adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile.
