Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There are phase 3 clinical trials underway evaluating anti-PD-L1 antibodies as adjuvant (postoperative) monotherapies for resectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); in combination with antiangiogenic VEGF/VEGFR2 inhibitors (e.g., bevacizumab and sunitinib) for metastatic RCC; and in combination with chemotherapeutics as neoadjuvant (preoperative) therapies for resectable TNBC. METHODS:This study investigated these and similar clinically relevant drug combinations in highly translational preclinical models of micro- and macro-metastatic disease that spontaneously develop after surgical resection of primary kidney or breast tumours derived from orthotopic implantation of murine cancer cell lines (RENCAluc or EMT-6/CDDP, respectively). RESULTS:In the RENCAluc model, adjuvant sunitinib plus anti-PD-L1 improved overall survival compared to either drug alone, while the same combination was ineffective as early therapy for unresected primary tumours or late-stage therapy for advanced metastatic disease. In the EMT-6/CDDP model, anti-PD-L1 was highly effective as an adjuvant monotherapy, while its combination with paclitaxel chemotherapy (with or without anti-VEGF) was most effective as a neoadjuvant therapy. CONCLUSIONS:Our preclinical data suggest that anti-PD-L1 plus sunitinib may warrant further investigation as an adjuvant therapy for RCC, while anti-PD-L1 may be improved by combining with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant but not the adjuvant setting of treating breast cancer.
