3044 Background: XL647 is an orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases involved in tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis, including EGFR (erbB1), erbB2, VEGFR2/KDR, and EphB4. Methods: Patients (pts) with ASM were enrolled in successive cohorts to receive XL647 orally as a single dose on day 1 with PK sampling, followed by 5 continuous daily doses starting on day 4 with additional PK sampling. Pts then continued to receive XL647 for 5 consecutive days, followed by a break, with cycles repeating every 14 days. Tumor imaging was conducted at baseline, after the first 3 or 4 cycles, and then after every 4 cycles. Pts were allowed to stay on-study in the absence of unacceptable toxicity until evidence of disease progression. Results: A total of 37 pts have been treated across 9 dose levels to date: 0.06, 0.12, 0.19, 0.28, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.12, 4.68, and 7.0 mg/kg. One pt at 3.12 mg/kg had a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of asymptomatic QTc prolongation on electrocardiogram, resulting in expansion of that cohort. The first two pts who received 7.0 mg/kg experienced DLTs of grade 3 diarrhea, requiring dose reduction. Both pts from the 7.0 mg/kg cohort tolerated 4.68 mg/kg well. Expansion of the 4.68 mg/kg cohort to 6 pts occurred without further DLTs and this is considered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). One serious adverse event, grade 4 pulmonary embolism, was considered possibly related to study treatment in a pt dosed at 0.28 mg/kg. PK analysis indicates that XL647 shows approximately dose-proportional exposure, a mean time to maximal concentration (tmax) of 6–9 hours and an elimination half-life of 50–70 hours. To date, 1 pt (non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC]) from cohort 1 had a partial response and 7 others (NSCLC [2], chordoma [2], adenoid cystic carcinoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, colorectal) have had prolonged stable disease (>3 months). Conclusions: XL647 has been well tolerated. An MTD of 4.68 mg/kg oral dosing for 5 consecutive days every 14 days has been established. Exploration of additional dosing schedules is ongoing, including continuous daily dosing. [Table: see text]
