Abstract Background: Dickkopf-1 (DDK1) has been identified as an antagonist of the Wnt pathway, which plays a complex role in tumor development and metastasis. DDK1 inhibitors have been clinically studied and showed promising anti-tumor activities in gastrointestinal carcinoma. Here, we report the preliminary efficacy and safety data of JS015 in combination with standard of care in gastrointestinal patients from JS015-002 study (NCT06139211) and 2 IITs (ChiCTR2400091501 and ChiCTR2400088962) conducted in China. Methods: Patients with colorectal cancer that were not systematically treated (1L-CRC) or who had progressed after treatment with fluorouracil-based regimen (2L-CRC) received JS015 600 mg (intravenously) plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy, once every 2 weeks or 3 weeks, depending on chemotherapy schedules. Patients with gastric cancer that were not systematically treated (1L-GC) received JS015 600 mg plus toripalimab and chemotherapy, once every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. Results: As of the data cutoff (December 25, 2024), 36 patients with 2L-CRC, 6 patients with 1L-CRC, and 8 patients with 1L-GC were enrolled, with a respective median follow-up of 1.22, 1.41, and 1.38 months. In the efficacy analysis, among the 17 patients with 2L-CRC, 7 patients achieved a partial response (PR) and 8 patients had a stable disease (SD), producing an ORR of 41.2% (95% CI: 18.4%, 67.1%) and a DCR of 88.2% (95% CI: 63.6%, 98.5%); Among the 4 patients with 1L-CRC, there were 3 patients with PR and 1 patient with SD, producing an ORR of 75.0% (95% CI: 19.4%, 99.4%) and a DCR of 100.0% (95% CI: 39.8%, 100.0%); Among the 5 patients with 1L-GC, there were 3 patients with PR and 2 patients SD, resulting an ORR of 60.0% (95% CI: 14.7%, 94.7%) and a DCR of 100.0% (95% CI: 47.8%, 100.0%). Overall, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) was 64.0% among those patients with CRC and GC. TRAEs were predominantly grade 1 or 2, and no grade 5 adverse events were reported. TRAEs of grade 3 or higher only occurred in 8 patients (8/50, 16.0%) among patients with 2L-CRC, including neutrophil count decreased (5/50, 10%), white blood cell count decreased (2/50, 4%), and aspartate aminotransferase increased, diarrhoea, and liver injury (1/50, 2.0% for each). Conclusion: JS015 combination therapy showed encouraging anti-tumor activities in patients with CRC and GC, with a favorable safety profile, supporting further investigations in a large population of patients with gastrointestinal carcinomas.
