10024 Background: Prior work from our team demonstrates that inhibition of the Hsp90 chaperone protein results in preferential destruction of the mutated KIT kinase in human GIST cell lines regardless of TKI-resistance mutations. To translate this into clinical application, we are conducting a phase I trial of IPI-504, a novel Hsp90 inhibitor, for patients (pts) with metastatic TKI-resistant GIST. Methods: Pts with metastatic TKI-resistant GIST were eligible to enter and receive IPI-504, IV in 250 cc of normal saline over 30 mins, on days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of a 21 day cycle. Serial monitoring with 18FDG-PET/CT imaging at baseline, day 11, and day 21, as well as PK profiling of IPI- 504 and its major active metabolites (17-AAG and 17-AG), were performed on all pts. Results: 21 pts with progressive GIST after both prior imatinib and sunitinib have been entered at 5 dose levels (90 mg/m2 IPI-504 [n=6], 150 [3], 225 [3], 300 [3], 400 [6]); 18 are now evaluable. The maximal tolerated dose has not been reached, and enrollment is ongoing. AEs possibly related to IPI-504 include Grade 1–2 elevation of alkaline phosphatase, fatigue, and headache; one DLT was observed in the 1st and 5th dose levels. PET demonstrated decreases in tumor FDG avidity in 1/6 pts, 1/3, 3/3, 1/3, and 2/3 at the respective dose levels in this schedule (3 patients were inevaluable by PET). Reactivation of tumor FDG uptake by PET was seen during the planned 10-day breaks in IPI-504 administration with reinduction of decreased tumor FDG avidity upon re-treatment with IPI-504. Although no RECIST-defined “anatomic responses” were noted, stable disease has allowed 7 pts to continue on study treatment for ≥ 4 cycles. Conclusions: Targeting Hsp90 is a novel therapeutic strategy in TKI-resistant GIST. IPI-504 has been well-tolerated overall, and the activity seen with decreased FDG avidity of GIST lesions, as well as the induction of SD in pts with documented prior progression, is promising with this non-TKI agent. Reactivation of PET signal in lesions during breaks in IPI-504 dosing is similar to flares with TKI discontinuation. To address this, a new schedule of continuous BIW dosing of IPI-504 has been added to optimize drug exposure. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Development of kinase domain mutations is a major drug-resistance mechanism for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in cancer therapy. A particularly challenging example is found in Philadelphia chromosome–positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) where all available kinase inhibitors in clinic are ineffective against the BCR-ABL mutant, T315I. As an alternative approach to kinase inhibition, an orally administered heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor, IPI-504, was evaluated in a murine model of CML. Treatment with IPI-504 resulted in BCR-ABL protein degradation, decreased numbers of leukemia stem cells, and prolonged survival of leukemic mice bearing the T315I mutation. Hsp90 inhibition more potently suppressed T315I-expressing leukemia clones relative to the wild-type (WT) clones in mice. Combination treatment with IPI-504 and imatinib was more effective than either treatment alone in prolonging survival of mice simultaneously bearing both WT and T315I leukemic cells. These results provide a rationale for use of an Hsp90 inhibitor as a first-line treatment in CML by inhibiting leukemia stem cells and preventing the emergence of imatinib-resistant clones in patients. Rather than inhibiting kinase activity, elimination of mutant kinases provides a new therapeutic strategy for treating BCR-ABL–induced leukemia as well as other cancers resistant to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Current systemic therapies have little curative benefit for synovial sarcoma. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor 17-AAG have recently been shown to inhibit synovial sarcoma in preclinical models. We tested combinations of 17-AAG with the HDAC inhibitor MS-275 for synergism by proliferation and apoptosis assays. The combination was found to be synergistic at multiple time points in two synovial sarcoma cell lines. Previous studies have shown that HDAC inhibitors not only induce cell death but also activate the survival pathway NF-κB, potentially limiting therapeutic benefit. As 17-AAG inhibits activators of NF-κB, we tested if 17-AAG synergizes with MS-275 through abrogating NF-κB activation. In our assays, adding 17-AAG blocks NF-κB activation by MS-275 and siRNA directed against histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) recapitulates the effects of MS-275. Additionally, we find that the NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7085 synergizes with MS-275. We conclude that agents inhibiting NF-κB synergize with HDAC inhibitors against synovial sarcoma.

Endothelial hyperperme ability leading to vascular leak is an important consequence of sepsis and sepsis-induced lung injury. We previously reported that heat shock protein (hsp) 90 inhibitor pretreatment improved pulmonary barrier dysfunction in a murine model of sepsis-induced lung injury. We now examine the effects of hsp90 inhibitors on LPS-mediated endothelial hyperpermeability, as reflected in changes in transendothelial electrical resistance (TER) of bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (BPAEC). Vehicle-pretreated cells exposed to endotoxin exhibited a concentration-dependent decrease in TER, activation of pp60Src, phosphorylation of the focal adhesion protein paxillin, and reduced expression of the adherens junction proteins, vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and β-catenin. Pretreatment with the hsp90 inhibitor, radicicol, prevented the decrease in TER, maintained VE-cadherin and β-catenin expression, and inhibited activation of pp60Src and phosphorylation of paxillin. Similarly, when BPAEC hyperpermeability was induced by endotoxin-activated neutrophils, pretreatment of neutrophils and/or endothelial cells with radicicol protected against the activated neutrophil-induced decrease in TER. Increased paxillin phosphorylation and decreased expression of β-catenin and VE-cadherin were also observed in mouse lungs 12 h after intraperitoneal endotoxin and attenuated in mice pretreated with radicicol. These results suggest that hsp90 plays an important role in sepsis-associated endothelial barrier dysfunction.
