Aim: FP-208 is a novel and effective small-molecule inhibitor blocking the mammalian target of rapamycin complex-1/mammalian target of rapamycin complex-2/PI3Ka. To investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of FP-208, a rapid and reliable analytical method was needed to be established to determine FP-208 in the plasma of patients with solid tumors. Materials & methods: FP208 was separated on a charged surface hybrid (CSH) C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) after the plasma samples were purified using a protein precipitation method. Detection was performed on an AB Sciex 5500 mass spectrometer in the positive electrospray ionization mode. The established method was validated according to the bioanalytical guidelines. Conclusion: For the first time, the developed and validated method was successfully applied in the first-in-human study for FP-208 in patients with solid tumors after oral administration (Number: CTR20180683).

3097 Background: BV is a potent inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with broad clinical activity. E is an mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor in development for cancer and solid organ transplant therapy. VEGF and mTOR inhibitors have anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis effects alone and in combination in preclinical models. As a combination anti-angiogenesis therapy, we evaluated BV + E in a phase I, pharmacokinetic (PK), biomarker study. Methods: BV was dosed at 10mg/kg IV q14d. E was dosed at 5mg PO QD, escalating to 10mg QD. Cycle length was 28 days. DLT was defined as any grade 4 heme or grade 3/4 non-heme event in Cycle 1 related to treatment. Pts had advanced solid tumors, adequate organ function, and no increased risks for class-related toxicities. Serial blood samples were collected for PK studies of E. Dermal wound angiogenesis assays were performed pre and on treatment for phospho VEGFR2, AKT, mTOR, and S6K. Results: 14 pts have been enrolled (8 F, 6 M), 12 evaluable for toxicity, 14 for efficacy. Median age is 58y (range 29–73). At dose level 1 (BV 10mg/E 5mg) there were no DLT’s in 5 pts. At dose level 2 (BV 10mg/E 10mg), no DLT’s were noted in the initial 3 pts and the cohort was expanded to 9 pts. Side effects were primarily grade 1–2: pain (10/14), mucositis (9/14), anorexia (8/14), rash (7/14), bleeding (7/14), hyperlipidemia (6/14), fatigue (6/14), and HTN (4/14). 1 pt had a myocardial infarction at day 72 and one pt developed nephrotic syndrome at day 70. 7/14 pts had stable disease as best response (70–278d). Conclusions: BV + E is generally well-tolerated. Preliminary clinical activity and class-related side effects were noted. The recommended phase II dose is BV 10mg/kg IV q14d and E 10mg PO QD.

PurposeEverolimus is a selective mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor with promising anticancer activity. In order to identify a rationally based dose and schedule for cancer treatment, we have conducted a tumor pharmacodynamic phase I study in patients with advanced solid tumors.Patients and MethodsFifty-five patients were treated with everolimus in cohorts of 20, 50, and 70 mg weekly or 5 and 10 mg daily. Dose escalation depended on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate during the first 4-week period. Pre- and on-treatment steady-state tumor and skin biopsies were evaluated for total and phosphorylated (p) protein S6 kinase 1, eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (elF-4E) binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF-4G), AKT, and Ki-67 expression. Plasma trough levels of everolimus were determined on a weekly basis before dosing during the first 4 weeks.ResultsWe observed a dose- and schedule-dependent inhibition of the mTOR pathway with a near complete inhibition of pS6 and peIF-4G at 10 mg/d and ≥ 50 mg/wk. In addition, pAKT was upregulated in 50% of the treated tumors. In the daily schedule, there was a correlation between everolimus plasma trough concentrations and inhibition of peIF4G and p4E-BP1. There was good concordance of mTOR pathway inhibition between skin and tumor. Clinical benefit was observed in four patients including one patient with advanced colorectal cancer achieving a partial response. DLTs occurred in five patients: one patient at 10 mg/d (grade 3 stomatitis) and four patients at 70 mg/wk (two with grade 3 stomatitis, one with grade 3 neutropenia, and one with grade 3 hyperglycemia).ConclusionEverolimus achieved mTOR signaling inhibition at doses below the DLT. A dosage of 10 mg/d or 50 mg/wk is recommended for further development.
