Purpose: To evaluate linrodostat mesylate, a selective, oral indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor, combined with nivolumab ± ipilimumab in advanced solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
Patients And Methods: In this phase 1/2 study, patients received once-daily (QD) linrodostat (part 1 [escalation], 25-400 mg; part 2 [expansion], 100 or 200 mg) plus nivolumab (480 mg every [Q] 4 weeks [W] or 240 mg Q2W) or triplet therapy (part 3, linrodostat 20-100 mg QD; nivolumab 360 mg Q3W or 480 mg Q4W; ipilimumab 1 mg/kg Q6W or Q8W). Endpoints included safety and efficacy (co-primary; parts 2, 3), pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, biomarkers, and efficacy (part 1).
Background: Aberrant Wnt pathway signaling has been implicated in the development of many cancers. Targeting of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5/6 (LRP5/6) co-receptors inhibits Wnt signaling and may be a novel therapy. BI 905677 is an LRP5/6 antagonist that has demonstrated preclinical antitumor activity.

However, there is no firm evidence on which variables best predict mortality in hospitalized patients receiving active systemic treatment. Our main goal was to develop a predictive model for 90-day mortality upon admission.

- There is no agreed-upon definition of clinically meaningful outcomes in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for treating refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), despite various recommendations since 2014.
- Many recent RCTs for oncology drug approvals fail to meet the recommended benchmarks set by organizations like ASCO and ESMO, highlighting the need for better standards.
- Quality of life (QoL) is increasingly emphasized alongside efficacy and safety in clinical trials, with the SUNLIGHT trial showing that treatment options like FTD/TPI with bevacizumab can achieve clinically meaningful outcomes while preserving QoL.
