    Combined CXCR-4 Inhibition with Novel Agent GPC-100 (burixafor) and Beta 2 Adrenergic Receptor Blockade Enhances Cytarabine Response for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Blasts on Stroma (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) -  Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_5275;    
    P1
    Clinical trials of CXCR4 inhibitors have been conducted to mobilize AML out of the protected BM niche, including plerixafor with 7+3 or MEC, BL-8040 with cytarabine (araC), LY2510924 with idarubicin/araC, and ulocuplumab (human IgG4 antibody) with MEC...In addition, high throughput drug screening of AML on stroma, but not in suspension or on CXCL12 coated plates, revealed that combination of the CXCR4 inhibitor GPC-100 and beta blocker propranolol, with araC, increased drug sensitivity (reduced IC50 by ?4 to >10 fold) as compared to araC alone for AML cells on HS-5 human stromal cell line or autologous patient mesenchymal stromal cells...Conclusions : These studies support further investigation of whether simultaneous blockade of CXCR4 and ADRB2 may potentiate chemotherapy response in AML, perhaps by disrupting microenvironment mediated chemotherapy protection. Patients with new diagnosis AML may be more susceptible to this approach than R/R AML due to higher CXCR4 expression by both blasts and LSCs.

    Strategy to Improve Functional T-Cell Yield in Peripheral Blood By Co-Inhibition of Beta-2 Adrenergic and CXCR4 Signaling Pathways (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) -  Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_3744;    
    P2
    A significant increase in PB lymphocyte count was only observed when propranolol was combined with GPC-100, but not with AMD3100 or BL8040...Treatment of stimulated PBMC with epinephrine inhibited IFNy release, which was fully reversed when propranolol and GPC-100 were added...Therefore, we propose that propranolol can be safely combined with GPC-100 for improving CAR-T efficiency. Comprehensive analysis of immune cell subsets mobilized by propranolol and GPC-100 in our clinical study (NCT05561751) is also ongoing to evaluate this treatment for improving current approaches to cell and gene therapy.
  • ||||||||||  Toward optimizing CXCR4 inhibition with beta adrenergic blockade to enhance chemotherapy response in acute myeloid leukemia (Section 29) -  Mar 5, 2024 - Abstract #AACR2024AACR_2576;    
    The CXCR4 inhibitor plerixafor is used to increase mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells in combination with filgrastim...These have included use of plerixafor with 7+3 or MEC, BL-8040 with cytarabine, and ulocuplumab with MEC...The objective of this preclinical study is to identify the AML patient population most likely to respond to CXCR4 inhibition, and the role of combined beta-adrenergic blockade, as the latter has been shown pre-clinically to augment mobilization of HSCs when combined with a CXCR4 inhibitor, GPC-100 (Sukhtankar et al... These studies support further investigation of whether simultaneous blockade of CXCR4 and ADBR2 may potentiate chemotherapy response in AML by limiting microenvironment mediated chemotherapy protection and reveal that patients with new diagnosis may be more susceptible to this approach.

    Preclinical, Journal:  GPC-100, a novel CXCR4 antagonist, improves in vivo hematopoietic cell mobilization when combined with propranolol. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 29, 2023   
    P2
    Addition of propranolol to the G-CSF and GPC-100 combination resulted in greater stem cell mobilization than the G-CSF and plerixafor combination. Together, our studies suggest that the combination of GPC-100 and propranolol is a novel strategy for stem cell mobilization and support the current clinical trial in multiple myeloma registered as NCT05561751 at www.clinicaltrials.gov.

    GPC-100 Is a Novel CXCR4 Inhibitor That Leads to Improved in Vitro Potency and In Vivo Efficacy in Stem Cell Mobilization When Combined with a Beta-Blocker (ENMCC - Hall D) -  Nov 4, 2022 - Abstract #ASH2022ASH_2823;    
    Previous studies indicate that stress hormones like epinephrine and norepinephrine exert stimulatory effects on cancer progression by modulating tumorigenesis, proliferation, and metastasis via B2AR signaling...Propranolol improved mobilization induced by a single administration of both GPC-100 and AMD3100...Additionally, combination treatment with G-CSF, GPC-100 and Pro may prove to be best-in-class mobilization therapy for ASCT in MM patients, especially those that fail to mobilize with standard of care. As a result, we will initiate a 2 arm, Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating both GPC-100 + Pro, and the triple combination of G-CSF + GPC-100 + Pro in Q4 of 2022.

    Journal:  Microglial Cytokines Induce Invasiveness and Proliferation of Human Glioblastoma through Pyk2 and FAK Activation. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 27, 2021   
    siRNA knockdown against Pyk2 or FAK in three primary glioblastoma cell lines, developed from the investigated specimens, in combination with the cytokine receptor inhibitors gefitinib (1 μM), DMPQ (200 nM), and burixafor (1 μM) identified EGF, PDGFβ, and SDF-1α as key extracellular factors in the Pyk2- and FAK-dependent activation of invadopodia formation and the migration of glioma cells. EGF and IL-6 were identified as regulators of the Pyk2- and FAK-dependent activation of cell viability and mitosis.
