Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell growth and differentiation during embryogenesis and early development.1-3 In the inactive state, patched-1 (PTCH1) inhibits Hh pathway signaling by smoothened (SMO) (Figure 1, left panel). In the active state, Hh ligand binds to PTCH1 resulting in de-repression of SMO-mediated signaling (Figure 1,right panel). Signaling by SMO results in activation of GLI transcription factors and consequent induction of Hh target genes, including GLI1 and PTCH1.2,3 1. Hahn H, Christiansen J, Zaphiropoulous PG, et al.

Mechanisms of Hh Pathway-mediated Oncogenesis and Pathway Inhibition by GDC-0449 Footnote to Figure Left Panel: The “Type 1” (ligand-independent) mechanism of aberrant Hh pathway activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of BCC and medulloblastoma: Middle Panel: The “Type 3” (paracrine) mechanism of aberrant Hh pathway activation involves the production of Hh ligand by tumor cells that activates the Hh pathway in adjacent non-malignant stromal tissue which, as part of the tumor microenvironment, supports tumor growth and proliferation. Right panel: GDC-0449 inhibits Hh pathway signaling by inhibiting the activity of SMO. Additional notes Hh pathway activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several cancers.4-12 Excessive or inappropriate expression of the Hh ligand has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sporadic cancers of the gastrointestinal tract,8 pancreas, lung, and prostate. Hh ligands produced by tumor cells can activate the Hh pathway in surrounding stromal cells in a paracrine manner, leading to the secretion of stromal mediators that enhance tumor growth and survival9,10 (Figure 2, center panel). The rate of Hh overexpression in colorectal cancer ranges from 20% to 35%. Disruption of Hh pathway signaling may therefore be beneficial in a broad array of tumor types. *GDC-0449 was discovered by Genentech under a collaboration with Curis, Inc

Efficacy of GDC-0449 Correlates with Hedgehog Expression

GDC-0449 Phase I Study: Key Findings* GDC-0449 was generally well-tolerated. most common toxicities were mild-to-moderate fatigue, anorexia, muscle spasms, alopecia and dysgeusia. Single-agent activity was demonstrated in patients with locally-advanced or metastatic basal cell CA and one patient with extra-neural medulloblastoma. 55% ORR in 33 patients with advanced BCC. *Von Hoff DD et al.

Phase II Study of GDC-0449 in 1st Line mCRC Study Population 199 patients randomized to receive either GDC-0449 or placebo. 195 patients are evaluable for safety. 4 patients (2 randomized to GDC-0449; 2 randomized to placebo) did not receive any investigational drug treatment after randomization. 123 evaluable patients were treated with FOLFOX-bev. 72 evaluable patients were treated with FOLFIRI-bev. All but one patient had at least one RECIST measurable lesion. The data cutoff date for this safety data analysis was March 15, 2010. Median duration of follow-up*: 12.6 months. *safety evaluable patient population

Phase II Study of GDC-0449 in 1st Line mCRC Summary and Conclusions Grade 1 or 2 toxicity of GDC-0449 in combination with chemotherapy is consistent with the toxicity profile for GDC-0449 monotherapy. Overall Grade 3 or 4 AE incidence was comparable in the GDC-0449 vs. placebo arms. Chemotherapy and investigational drug exposure duration of treatment were shorter in GDC-0449-treated patients in both study regimens. Neither chemotherapy regimen appears to impact GDC-0449 steady-state pharmacokinetics. Roche/Genentech has announced that GDC-0449 does not confer additional progression-free survival benefit to the standard of care for first-line treatment of mCRC (additional efficacy analyses are ongoing). the potential role of lower grade, chronic toxicities (e.g. anorexia, dysgeusia, weight loss) on treatment duration is under investigation

Back-up Slides

Phase II Study of GDC-0449 in 1st Line mCRC Grade 1 or 2 Adverse Events of Interest* Grade 1 or 2 AEs noted more frequently in GDC-0449-treated patients, regardless of the chemotherapy backbone used were: anorexia, weight loss, muscle spasms, dysgeusia. Other Grade 1 or 2 AEs were more frequent among GDC-0449- treated vs. placebo-treated patients in a regimen specific manner. There is a trend toward more mild-moderate myelosuppression (particularly anemia and thrombocytopenia) among placebo- treated vs. GDC-0449-treated patients. *≥10% incidence in one or more treatment groups.

Phase II Study of GDC-0449 in 1st Line mCRC Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events* The number of patients experiencing any Grade 3 or 4 AEs was balanced across treatment arms. Grade 3 or 4 AEs occurring more frequently in GDC-0449- treated patients regardless of the chemotherapy regimen used were: asthenia/fatigue, mucositis, weight loss, anorexia, and dehydration. Other Grade 3 or 4 AEs were more frequent among GDC-0449- treated vs. placebo-treated patients in a regimen-specific manner. There is a trend toward less Grade 3 or 4 anemia and granulocytopenia among GDC-0449-treated patients only in those who received FOLFOX/bev. * ≥5% incidence in one or more treatment groups.

Grade 5 Adverse Events Adverse Events Leading to Death = 4/97 or 4.1% (95% CI: 1.4-9.7%) in GDC-0449-treated patients Two patients experienced sudden death unattended by medical personnel; two patients died from complications of pneumonia. Three patients were treated with FOLFOX/bev; one was treated with FOLFIRI/bev. One event attributed possibly to GDC-0449, 5-FU, oxaliplatin and bev No patient in either placebo arm experienced a Grade 5 adverse event.
