Kazia Therapeutics (NASDAQ: KZIA) announced data presentation at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium regarding their lead candidate paxalisib for treating immunotherapy-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer with brain metastases.

The preclinical data showed promising therapeutic synergies between paxalisib and pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in immunotherapy-resistant TNBC models. Additional synergies were observed when combining paxalisib with olaparib (LYNPARZA®). In the TNBC mouse model, paxalisib combined with immunotherapy reduced tumor burden, lung metastases, and liver inflammation.

In a separate phase II trial for HER2 positive breast cancer with brain metastases, while the primary endpoint of overall response rate wasn't met, patients receiving paxalisib with trastuzumab showed a median overall survival of 16.5 months. The combination demonstrated feasible toxicity profiles consistent with PI3K/mTOR inhibitors.

Kazia Therapeutics (NASDAQ: KZIA) ha annunciato la presentazione dei dati al San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium riguardante il loro candidato principale paxalisib per il trattamento del cancro al seno triplo negativo (TNBC) resistente all'immunoterapia e del cancro al seno metastatico HER2 positivo con metastasi cerebrali.

I dati preclinici hanno mostrato promettenti sinergie terapeutiche tra paxalisib e pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) nei modelli di TNBC resistenti all'immunoterapia. Sono state osservate sinergie aggiuntive quando si combinava paxalisib con olaparib (LYNPARZA®). Nel modello murino di TNBC, paxalisib combinato con immunoterapia ha ridotto il carico tumorale, le metastasi polmonari e l'infiammazione epatica.

In uno studio di fase II separato per il cancro al seno HER2 positivo con metastasi cerebrali, mentre l'obiettivo primario del tasso di risposta globale non è stato raggiunto, i pazienti che ricevevano paxalisib con trastuzumab hanno mostrato una sopravvivenza globale mediana di 16,5 mesi. La combinazione ha dimostrato profili di tossicità sostenibili coerenti con gli inibitori PI3K/mTOR.

SYDNEY, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA), an oncology-focused drug development, announced that data from two abstracts will be presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium highlighting the activity the Company's lead product candidate, paxalisib, for the potential treatment of immunotherapy-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer with active brain metastases.

"Immunotherapy-resistant triple negative breast cancer represents one of the most difficult-to-treat areas of breast cancer, with a growing number of patients who have failed standard-of-care immunotherapy and require new treatment options," said John Friend, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kazia Therapeutics. "These new preclinical data highlight the potential therapeutic synergies between paxalisib and the checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), when used in combination in a preclinical model of immunotherapy-resistant triple negative breast cancer. Furthermore, these data also show synergies when paxalisib is combined with the PARP inhibitor, olaparib (LYNPARZA®), which is approved for the treatment of advanced BRCA-mutated HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer.

"In a second abstract, clinical investigators presented efficacy and safety data in heavily pretreated patients (median prior 8 lines of therapy) with HER2 positive breast cancer with active brain metastases. Although the primary endpoint of overall response rate (ORR) was not met, patients receiving a combination of paxalisib and trastuzumab (ENHERTU®) had a median overall survival of 16.5 months, which compares favorably versus historical control studies."

Title (P3-06-27):   

Immunotherapy and PI3K/mTOR inhibition combination to mediate metastasis and immunotherapy resistance in triple-negative breast cancer


Presenting Author: 

John Friend, M.D.


Date/Time:      

December 12, 2024, 12:00-2:00 pm CT 


Conclusions: The addition of paxalisib to immunotherapy in the 4T1 TNBC mouse model reduced primary tumor burden, lung metastases, and liver inflammation whilst overcoming toxicity complications and resistance associated with standard-of-care immunochemotherapy. Paxalisib in combination with the PARP inhibitor olaparib, but not monotherapy alone, also reduced primary tumor burden and metastases. Moving forward, work is ongoing to elucidate the PI3K-mTOR mechanism of overcoming metastasis and drug resistance as well as the translation of the data into a clinical development program for patients with TNBC and advanced breast cancer.
