Osteosarcoma ● Second most common type of primary bone cancer 1 ● Disease of children and young adults 2 – Most common between ages of 10 -20 years 2 – Accounts for >10% of all solid tumours in adolescents aged 15 -19 years 3 ● More common in males than females 3 ● Incidence: 0. 2 -0. 3 per 100, 000 population in Europe 3 – Estimated 1, 135 new cases every year in Europe 1 1.

Osteosarcoma ● Most common sites are ends of long bones 1 – Approximately half of tumours begin around the knee ● Around 20% of newly diagnosed patients have detectable lung metastases 1 – Almost all patients have subclinical microscopic metastases – Death from osteosarcoma is almost always the result of progressive pulmonary metastases ● Relapse rate in newly diagnosed patients can be as high as 30% 2 – Most recurrences occur as lung metastases 1 1.

Minimal improvement in osteosarcoma survival since 1980 s ● Before the 1970 s patients

Minimal improvement in osteosarcoma survival since 1980 s ● Before the 1970 s patients underwent amputation and no chemotherapy – Long term overall survival was <20%1 ● By the mid 1980 s long term overall survival up to 50 -60% 1 ● Some studies showed better rates, but overall little significant improvement for over three decades 1 ● Meta-analysis of chemotherapy studies showed 1: – 5 year overall survival of 60% with 2 -drug regimen compared with 66% for 3 -drug regimen (p=0. 04) – No benefit of a fourth drug ● Most investigators agree treatment has reached a plateau 2 1.

Significant unmet need in osteosarcoma treatment ● Today, long-term (5 -year) survival for localised disease is 50 -60% 1 ● Continuing improvements in survival have been seen for many childhood cancers, but the news is less positive for osteosarcoma 2 − No improvement in past 30 years despite the introduction of multiagent chemotherapy 1 ● Therefore, improving overall survival for osteosarcoma patients represents a significant unmet need 1.

The potential role of immunotherapy in osteosarcoma ● Immunotherapy is a treatment strategy which upregulates the body’s immune response to cancer cells and thus increases tumouricidal activity 1 ● There is a growing body of evidence to support immunotherapy as an effective treatment in osteosarcoma 1 ● Postoperative infection after endoprosthetic surgery has been shown to improve survival outcome which suggested a role for infectioninduced anti-tumour immune response 2 1.

The evidence for immunotherapy in osteosarcoma ● Potential strategies targeting the host immune system

The evidence for immunotherapy in osteosarcoma ● Potential strategies targeting the host immune system include: - Immune modulation (interferon-α 1, muramyl tripeptide phosphatidyl ethanolamine MTP-PE 2) - Cellular therapy (cytotoxic T-cells, primed dendritic cells 3) ● Study results cannot be extrapolated across immunotherapeutic agents: – Immunotherapy with interferon-α as an adjuvant therapy has been evaluated following initial encouraging results 1 however preliminary data from the EURAMOS-1 trial concluded that there is no evidence to support interferon-α in this setting 4 – Mepact has demonstrated a proven benefit on overall survival 2 1. 2. 3. 4.

Introduction - What is Mepact? ● Mepact (mifamurtide) is L-MTP-PE, a liposomal formulation of Muramyl Tripeptide Phosphatidyl Ethanolamine (MTP-PE)1 – Liposomal formulation facilitates uptake by tissue macrophages after i. v. infusion – A potent activator of macrophages ● L-MTP-PE was initially developed as an immunostimulant with significant anti-tumour effects in preclinical models 1, 2 ● MTP-PE is a synthetic analog of muramyl dipeptide (MDP)3 – The smallest natural immune stimulatory component of the mycobacterium cell wall 1 1.

Mepact development pathway ● In pre-clinical models, Mepact was proven to be an immunostimulant with significant anti-tumour effects 1 – Anti-tumour effects are macrophage mediated ● Direct (activated macrophage tumour killing) ● Indirect (cytokine mediated, activation of immune cells) ● Liposomal formulation facilitates uptake by tissue macrophages after i. v. injection 1 – Particularly in lungs, nasopharynx, spleen, liver 2 ● Following pre-clinical models, results in dogs stimulated additional interest in Mepact 3 – Comparable model for human osteosarcoma 1.
