In view of experimental and clinical data suggesting enhanced antiproliferative efficacy from a continuous infusion of etoposide (VP-16) concomitant with cisplatin (CDDP), we performed a dose-seeking study of a five-day infusion of VP-16, 30 mg/m2/24 h and CDDP, 18.5 to 25 mg/m2/24 h. Among eight patients with advanced solid tumors, dose-limiting toxicities were leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. There were no clinically significant renal, neurologic, or otologic sequelae. Nausea and vomiting were mild and transient. Although the trial was not designed as a phase II assessment, we observed three objective regressions among three patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who had failed prior chemotherapy. The total CDDP dose is similar to five-day single agent studies, yet the total VP-16 dose is approximately 24% to 50% less than a five-day single agent VP-16 dose. The recommended regimen for continuous 120-hour infusion is VP-16, 30 mg/m2/24 h and CDDP, 20 mg/m2/24 h, repeated at monthly intervals.

Purpose To evaluate the safety and maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly patupilone, a natural epothilone B, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients and Methods Patients were treated with patupilone (0.3 to 3.6 mg/m2) for 6 weeks on/3 weeks off or 3 weeks on/1 week off. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), MTD, and pharmacokinetics were determined for each schedule of administration. Results Ninety-one patients were enrolled. The most common tumor types included ovarian, breast, and colon cancers. Doses of patupilone less than 2.5 mg/m2 using either the 6 weeks on/3 weeks off or the 3 weeks on/1 week off schedule were tolerated well. At higher doses, DLTs were observed using both dosing schedules, with diarrhea the most common DLT. The MTD for both treatment schedules was 2.5 mg/m2. After a short infusion, patupilone blood concentrations declined in a multiphasic manner with a terminal half-life of 4 days. Drug clearance was nonrenal and was not related to body-surface area. Over the dose range evaluated, systemic drug exposure was approximately dose proportional. Three patients achieved a partial response, and 31 patients had stable disease. Two patients experiencing a partial response had received prior taxane therapy. Conclusion Patupilone is well tolerated when administered at a dose of 2.5 mg/m2, using either a 6 weeks on/3 weeks off or a 3 weeks on/1 week off schedule. In contrast with murine studies, patupilone has a relatively prolonged terminal half-life in humans. The partial responses in patients previously treated with taxanes is consistent with promising preclinical results.

2556 Background: Depletion of tumor-infiltrating CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which inhibit tumor-specific immune responses, could contribute to tumor eradication. Cami (ADCT-301), an anti-CD25, pyrrolobenzodiazepine-based antibody-drug conjugate, targets CD25+ Tregs. A mouse surrogate has shown potent antitumor activity in solid tumor models. Here we report preliminary data from the monotherapy arm of a phase 1b trial of Cami in pts with selected advanced solid tumors. Methods: The monotherapy dose-escalation part of this open-label study enrolled pts (aged ≥18 years) with selected advanced solid tumors and no suitable existing therapy. The primary objective was to characterize safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of Cami monotherapy. Secondary and exploratory objectives included evaluation of preliminary antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity. Pts received Cami every 3 weeks (1 cycle) with dose escalation per a 3+3 design. Disease control rate (DCR) was assessed (complete and partial responses [CR, PR] and stable disease). Results: At data cut-off (Dec 17, 2020), 44 pts were enrolled, with primary tumor types (stage IVA/B: 27 pts; 61.4%) of colorectal (15 pts; 34.1%), pancreatic (14 pts; 31.8%), head and neck, ovarian/fallopian tube, and renal cell carcinoma (all 3 pts; 6.8%), non-small cell lung cancer (2 pts; 4.5%), gastric, esophageal/GEJ, melanoma, and triple-negative breast cancer (each 1 pt; 2.3%). Median (range) age was 60.5 (33–82) years; median (range) number of prior systemic therapies was 4 (1–9). Pts received a median (range) of 2 (1–6) Cami cycles at doses of 20–150 µg/kg. Median (range) treatment duration was 22 (1–178) days. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. All-grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥20% pts were nausea (18 pts; 40.9%), decreased appetite and fatigue (each 16 pts; 36.4%), constipation (13 pts; 29.5%), abdominal pain (11 pts; 25%), and rash (10 pts; 22.7%). The only Grade ≥3 TEAE in ≥10% pts was anemia (5 pts; 11.4%). Grade 3 autoimmune AEs (colitis, immune-mediated AE, systemic inflammatory response syndrome) and neurologic AEs (dysphagia and asthenia, but not GBS) were reported in 3 (6.8%) and 2 (4.5%) pts, respectively. 1 (2.3%) Cami-related TEAE led to treatment withdrawal; no Cami-related TEAEs were fatal. DCR was 25% (95% CI: 11.1, 34.7); 11/44 pts attained stable disease. No pts had CR or PR. Conclusions: Dose escalation of Cami monotherapy is complete. The safety profile is encouraging and MTD was not reached. PK/PD data will be presented. 150 µg/kg is the highest dose investigated for single-agent Cami and the highest to be investigated combined with pembrolizumab in selected advanced solid tumors in the current protocol.
