4090 Background: Bortezomib is a potent and reversible inhibitor of the ubiquitin-mediated proteasome pathway, whose inhibition results in the stabilization of p53, p21Cip1, p27Kip1, Bax, in cell-cycle dysregulation and, finally, apoptosis. A phase I study of the combination of 5FU/LV and bortezomib has shown a significant stable disease rate in advanced CRC (Iqbal, ASCO 2004). Methods: In this phase I study bortezomib was given as an IV push over 3 to 5 seconds on days 1, 8 and 15 in combination with standard FOLFOX-4 every 28 days in chemo-naïve pts with advanced CRC. Bortezomib starting dose level was 1.3 mg/m2. A 3+3 study design was utilized at predefined dose levels (DL). Dose-limiting-toxicity (DLT) was assessed during cycle 1. Exploratory pharmacogenetics research was conducted. Results: 15 pts were treated and 46 cycles given. At DL2 (1.6 mg/m2), 2/4 pts experienced a DLT: G3 febrile neutropenia causing treatment delay and bortezomib dose reduction in 1pt and one bortezomib dose skipped due to persistent G2 peripheral neuropathy and myalgia in 1pt. At DL1 (1.3 mg/m2), 2/6 pts had a DLT. Both pts experienced a G3 neutropenia on day 15, which prevented treatment from being given as scheduled. DL-1 (1 mg/m2) was therefore investigated and no DLT was observed among 5 pts. The most frequently reported toxicities in cycle 1 were γGT (64%), nausea, fatigue and sensory neuropathy (53%), pain (33%), diarrhea and fever (27%), vomiting (20%), anorexia, dyspnea and mucositis (13%) and neutropenia 29% (G2,3). 12 pts are currently evaluable for response; 6 had a partial response, 3 stable disease and 3 disease progression. Conclusion: The toxicity profile of this combination is predictable and early evidence of clinical activity has been observed. The recommended bortezomib dose for further investigation within this regimen is 1 mg/m2. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

2574 Background: XMT-1001 is a water soluble macromolecular conjugate of camptothecin (CPT). In this novel CPT pro- drug, CPT is conjugated with a 70 kDa biodegradable hydrophilic polyacetal, poly (1-hydroxymethylethylene hydroxymethylformal). XMT-1001 demonstrated an improved therapeutic window as compared with CPT and irinotecan in human tumor xenograft models, providing a compelling rationale for its clinical development. Methods: This is an open label, dose escalation study of XMT- 1001 administered as an IV infusion once every 3 weeks. The objectives of this phase I study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose and to assess safety and PK of XMT-1001. Initially 3 patients (pts) are entered at each dose level. The cohort is expanded to 6 pts if a patient experiences a dose limiting toxicity. Analyses of plasma and urine were performed for XMT-1001 (conjugated CPT), 2 major drug release products, and for unconjugated (free) CPT. Results: Thirty two pts with refractory solid tumors have received 82 cycles of XMT-1001 at 8 dose levels ranging from 1.0 to 20.5 mg CPT equivalents/m2. Two pts had Gr 3 infusion reactions consistent with hypersensitivity to study drug. Symptoms reversed upon discontinuation of study drug. After the introduction of new clinical trial material with an improved formulation, to date, no infusion reactions suggestive of hypersensitivity have occurred (11 patients, 22 cycles). No hemorrhagic cystitis or ≥ Gr 3 diarrhea was noted. Myelosuppression was observed in 3 pts treated at 15.4 mg CPT equiv/m2 dose level. Stable disease was observed in 7 pts with the following tumor types and dose levels expressed in mg CPT equivalents/m2: NSCLC (1.0 mg/m2, 6 wks), ovarian (4.9 mg/m2, 12 wks), pancreas (4.9 mg/m2, 36 wks), appendiceal (7.3 mg/m2, 12 wks), bile duct (9.1 mg/m2, 18 wks), basal cell (11.6 mg/m2, 6 wks), and colon (15.4 mg/m2, 6 wks). PK demonstrates dose proportional increases in plasma levels of XMT-1001 (conjugated CPT) and confirms the formation of its expected release products. To date, levels of free CPT in urine are low. Conclusions: 1. XMT-1001 can be given safely to patients; 2. XMT-1001 has a favorable PK profile; 3. Prolonged stable disease was observed in patients with refractory tumors. [Table: see text]

4114 Background: Fosbretabulin, a synthetic, water-soluble, phosphorylated prodrug of the natural product combretastatin A4 (CA4P), initially isolated from the bark of the South African bush willow, Combretum caffrum, is the lead compound in a class of agents termed vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, is FDA approved for the management of well-differentiated NETs. A Phase I trial combining fosbretabulin and everolimus to determine the recommended Phase II trial dose (RP2D), safety data and early clinical efficacy in metastatic GEPNET patients was conducted. Methods: An investigator-initiated, single center, open-label, phase I study involving GEPNETs incorporated partial order continual reassessment method (PO-CRM) to define the dose escalation. The primary objective was to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of everolimus and fosbretabulin in NETs that have progressed after at least one prior regimen for metastatic disease. Secondary objective included identifying the safety profile of the combination using NCI CTCAE4 reporting criteria. Patients received daily oral everolimus (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, and 10 mg). Fosbretabulin was administered IV 60 mg/m2 either q3 weekly or q weekly based on PO-CRM. Patients were treated for 12 weeks with all combinations. RECIST 1.1 was used to evaluate radiological responses at 3 month. Results: Of the 17 patients enrolled, 16 completed the 12-week trial. One patient was not evaluable due to noncompliance. No DLTs were observed at day 21. The highest dose of 10 mg daily oral everolimus in combination with weekly 60mg/m2 IV fosbretabulin is the RP2D. No grade 4 or 5 toxicities were noted. Grade 3 toxicities were seen in 5 patients; abdominal pain and hyperglycemia (not related to study drug), fatigue (possibly related), decreased lymphocyte count and anemia (related). Several patients had delay in treatment due to grade 2 AE’s (GI symptoms, rash, thrombocytopenia) and one patient was unable to complete treatment due to pneumonitis. All evaluable patients except one had stable disease at 3 months. One patient showed SD but non target lesion demonstrated PD. One patient had > 30% decrease in tumor size but overall sum of lesions showed SD. A detailed table with all grade toxicities and waterfall plot of RR will be presented at the meeting. Conclusions: Ten mg PO daily everolimus plus 60 mg/m2 fosbretabulin IV weekly is the RP2D. Early clinical data suggests clinical activity and stable disease in all but one patient at 3 months. Clinical trial information: NCT0301429.

3001 Background: p38 MAPK regulates production of cytokines by the tumor microenvironment and its activation enables cancer cells to survive in the presence of oncogenic stress, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies. LY2228820 is a selective small-molecule inhibitor of p38 MAPK and preclinical studies demonstrate antitumor activity as a single agent and in combination with standard agents. We performed a phase I study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of LY2228820 and to characterize its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Methods: Dose escalation was performed in a 3+3 design. LY2228820 was taken orally every 12 hours on days 1-14 of a 28-day cycle. Results: 54 patients received either capsules at 8 dose levels (10, 20, 40, 65, 90, 120, 160, and 200mg) or tablets at 5 dose levels (160, 200, 300, 420, and 560mg). For both formulations, Cmax and AUC increased in a dose-dependent manner. LY2228820 inhibited p38 MAPK induced phosphorylation of MAPKAP-K2 in peripheral blood with dose-dependent maximum inhibition from 10 to 70% across the dose range 10-200mg. The most common drug-related adverse events included fatigue, nausea, rash, constipation, vomiting, and pruritus. 1 patient (200mg) had DLT of erythema multiforme (Gr3) and 2 patients (560mg) had DLT of ataxia (Gr3) and dizziness (Gr2), respectively. Although the MTD was 420mg, the frequency of Gr1/2 adverse events (mainly rash, dizziness, and tremor) and observation of clinical activity at lower dose levels led to a recommended dose of 300mg (mean AUC0-24 = 11.7ug-hr/ml at steady state). Early clinical activity has been observed in ovary, breast, and kidney cancers. One patient with metastatic clear cell carcinoma of the kidney refractory to sorafenib, sunitinib, and temsirolimus had confirmed near partial response (29% decrease) after 8 cycles and remains on therapy. 15 patients (28%) achieved best overall response of stable disease, which in 12 patients (22%) was prolonged (≥4 cycles). Conclusions: LY2228820 demonstrates acceptable pharmacokinetics, safety, and early clinical activity as a single agent in advanced cancer. A phase II study for patients with ovary cancer is planned.

Abstract CLL is an incurable disease. Standard treatment with F results in an ORR of 63% (CR 20%). Improved RR are noted when F is combined with biologic agents such as rituximab. All pts eventually relapse with limited salvage options. TNF-a is an important cytokine in the pathogenesis of CLL. T is an immunomodulatory drug with anti- TNF-a, anti-VEGF and immunostimulatory activity. We have completed a phase I study combining T with F as an immunochemotherapeutic approach to enhance anti-CLL activity of F. Treatment-naïve pts requiring therapy for CLL were eligible for this study. T was started at D1 and continued for 6 months stepwise in 3 cohorts of T (100,200,300 mg). Standard dose F (25mg/m2 x 5 D every 4 wks) was given for 4–6 cycles starting on D7. Antitumor activity of T alone was assessed at D7 prior to the first F dose. Low-dose coumadin (1 or 2 mg po qd) was used for prophylaxis against venous thromboembolism (VTE). Thirteen pts (9M, 4F; median age 65,range 38–74 yrs) have been enrolled on 3 dose levels (cohort #1 n =6, #2 n=3, #3 n=4). All pts are available for toxicity analysis. Pts were considered evaluable for response if they completed the intended 6 months of T. 3 pts were removed from study for toxicity (2VTE, 1 in the 1st week of therapy prior to F infusion, 2nd during the 4th cycle, 1 Hep C reactivation presumably secondary to F), without evidence of disease progression. 9 pts completed 6 months of therapy and are available for response (5CR and 4PR, ORR of 100%) median follow-up of 12+ (range 6–18+) months. Response to T alone, assessed on D7 of cycle 1, was noted at all dose levels, and no dose-limiting toxicity was noted. Flare reaction (tender swelling of lymph nodes) was noted in 5/13 pts (38%) and was the most common side effect. Rash, fatigue and constipation were noted in 30%, 23% and 15% of the pts, respectively. Of the 60 cycles given on this study, 9 (15%) and 3 (5%) episodes of Grade III and IV non-hematologic toxicities were noted, respectively. In this phase I study, the combination of T with F was well tolerated with improved ORR over F. T alone appears to be active in CLL with clinical activity noted as early as D 7 at all dose levels studied. The combination does not appear to increase the incidence of VTE compared to T alone. Ongoing phase II portion of this study will further establish the potential role of FT in CLL.

3592 Background: Vorinostat is a novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that potentiates 5-FU and platinum antitumor activity. This potentiation is associated with ∼ 40 fold decrease in thymidilate synthase (TS) expression, the main target of 5-FU, in preclinical models. We conducted a phase I study of vorinostat plus FOLFOX in patients with CRC to determine the recommended dose of this combination. Methods: Vorinostat was escalated in a standard 3+3 design. FOLFOX was administered at a fixed dose every 2 weeks: leucovorin 400mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 85mg/m2 over 2 hours followed by 5-FU bolus 400mg/m2 and 5-FU infusion 2400mg/m2 over 46 hours. Vorinostat started 3 days prior to FOLFOX and was given twice daily for 1 week followed by 1 week break. Investigated dose levels of vorinostat (twice daily) include 100, 200, and 300 mg. Tumor biopsies were obtained from patients with accessible liver metastases before and on the 4th day of vorinostat (prior to FOLFOX) to assess TS expression. Results: 9 patients (pts) enrolled (M/F: 8/1; median age: 57, ECOG 0/1: 5/4). All pts had failed prior FOLFOX, irinotecan, and cetuximab therapy. One pt at dose level (DL) 1 was not evaluable due to rapid clinical progression. No dose-limiting toxicities were noted among the 8 evaluable pts. No grade (G) 3 toxicities were noted on the first cycle of treatment (within 2 weeks after 1st FOLFOX) and accrual continues on DL3. Cycle 1 toxicities were attributed to FOLFOX and consisted of 1 G2 neutropenia, 1 G2 mucositis, and 2 G2 nausea/vomiting. Responses were evaluable in 6 pts: 1 pt with peritoneal carcinomatosis on DL 1 has stable disease 5 months + along with a stable CEA; 3 patients at DL2 have stable disease at 2 months along with declining CEA in 2/3 pts. Two pts (DL1) with liver metastases biopsies had a major decrease in TS expression by IHC after 4 days of vorinostat. Conclusions: Vorinostat at 100–200mg PO BID × 1 week every 2 weeks in combination with FOLFOX is well tolerated. The lowest DL of 100 mg PO BID is associated with down-regulation of TS. Disease stabilization in highly refractory patients is promising. The investigation of this regimen in the first or second-line treatment of metastatic CRC is warranted.

11031 Background: Activin receptor like kinase 1 (ALK-1) is a member of the TGF-βRI family selectively expressed in proliferating endothelial cells, and plays an important role in regulating tumor initiation and metastasis. PF-03446962 is a fully human IgG2 mAb anti ALK-1 evaluated within two phase 1 studies in Western and Asian pts. Herein we report the preliminary safety, PK and PD data of the Phase I study. Methods: Primary objective is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in Asian cancer pts; secondary objectives include the safety profile, PK, antitumor activity, and potential PD markers in blood and tumor samples. PF-03446962 is administered IV on Day 1, 29 and then q 2 weeks. Results: Study A8471004 consists of two parts: a 3+3 dose escalation (Part 1) and a dose expansion (Part 2) at 2 dose levels. In Part 1, 16 pts have been enrolled at 3 dose levels (4 pts at 4.5 mg/kg, 3 pts at 7.0 mg/kg, and 9 pts at 10 mg/kg). No DLTs occurred in Part 1 and 10 mg/kg was confirmed as MTD in the Asian population. The observed AUC0-28day for the 4.5, 7 and 10 mg/kg doses, were 12960, 22190 and 28030 μg·h/mL and Cmax were 97.1, 131.5 and 179.8 μg/mL, respectively. Drug exposure (mean Cmax and AUC) increased in a nearly dose proportional manner in Asians. In Part 2, expansion cohorts at doses of 7.0 mg/kg (10pts) and 10.0 mg/kg (8pts) of pts previously treated with VEGF inhibitors (VEGFi) have been enrolled, and the most common drug related adverse events observed (>10%) being thrombocytopenia, pyrexia, epistaxis, and telangiectasia (an anti-ALK-1 mediated toxicity) similarly in the 2 dose levels. Telangiectasia was observed in 1 CRC and 3 HCC patients. 4 patients who progressed after VEGFi treatment (RCC, sarcoma, 2 HCC patients) presented a SD lasting for 290, 248, 247 and 208 days, respectively, suggesting the ALK-1 could serve as mechanism of escape for VEGF. Conclusions: PF-03446962 is a first in class mAb targeting ALK-1. Treatment with PF-03446962 is well tolerated in the Asian pts and preliminary observation of clinical activity supports ALK-1 as a viable target. Update of study results and potential PD effects obtained on blood and tumor samples will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT01337050.

Abstract Abstract 3060 Background: CD138 represents one of the most reliable target antigens for identification of multiple myeloma (MM) cells and has been reported to be a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic marker of MM. BT062 (Biotest AG Dreieich, Germany) is an antibody-drug conjugate, comprised of the anti-CD138 chimerized MAb (nBT062) and the cytotoxic agent DM4. Once bound to CD138 on a target cell, the conjugate is internalized and releases DM4, leading to targeted cell death. Preclinical investigations demonstrated strong in vitro and in vivo anti-MM activity of BT062, providing the rationale for the conduct of clinical trials (Ikeda et al., 2009). Objectives: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-MM activity of increasing doses of BT062 on a repeated single dose schedule once every three weeks in patients with relapsed and/or refractory MM. Toxicities were assessed by CTCAE v3 and clinical response was assessed according to the international working group criteria. Methods: This is a prospective, open label, dose-escalation multicenter study. Patients aged ≥ 18 years with relapsed or relapsed/refractory MM who have failed previous treatments including an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor were eligible to participate. Patients with clinical response (or no evidence of progressive disease) and without unacceptable toxicities were eligible for further treatment cycles. Patients were enrolled in cohorts of 3 at each dose level, with DLT in the first cycle triggering cohort expansion. Results: A total of 32 patients have been treated with BT062, receiving one of 7 dose levels ranging from 10 mg/m2 to 200 mg/m2. Maximum administered dose has been defined at 200 mg/m2, with mucositis as the dose limiting toxicity (CTC grade III in 2 of the 3 patients in this cohort). Therefore, the MTD was defined at 160 mg/m2. Thirteen of 32 patients have been treated in an expanded MTD-cohort. No CTC grade 4 toxicity has been reported. The most frequently reported adverse events to date cover primarily events expected for the underlying disease and patient group. Most of the reported adverse events are CTC grade I to II. Nevertheless, a few adverse events have also been observed involving skin and/or mucosa (tissues of epithelial origin with CD138 expressing cells), as well as the eye. Severe events involving skin and/or mucosa (e.g. mucositis, hand/foot syndrome) have only been observed at the dose levels 160 mg/m2 or higher. Adverse events involving the eye (e.g. blurred vision, dry eye) have been reported in only 3 patients overall at the dose levels 160 mg/m2 or higher, all CTC grade I to II. At dose levels up to 120 mg/m2, preliminary PK results indicate an unusual rapid clearance from plasma in the early elimination phase, followed by a generally normal terminal elimination phase. A more typical clearance profile was observed for all patients at the 160 mg/m2 and 200 mg/m2 dose. To date, one patient showed a decrease in urine M-Protein by >50% after 8 repeated low doses of 20 mg/m2 each. At a high dose level of 160 mg/m2, another patient showed a >50% decrease of serum FLC after two doses of BT062. In total, stabilization of disease was noted in 13 patients. Patients with stable disease received a median of 5 cycles of therapy (range of 3–10). Most patients came off study due to disease progression. Conclusion: Preliminary data from this phase I study demonstrate an acceptable toxicity profile of BT062. Even in this phase I patient population, evidence of clinical activity was observed. Based on the favourable safety profile, the pharmacokinetic data and early signs of clinical activity, a Phase I/II study in MM is initiated to further evaluate the safety and anti-MM efficacy of BT062 in a more frequent dosing regimen. Updated results on safety, PK and efficacy of BT062 will be presented.

12025 Background: GEM has activity against a wide range of tumors and ptx is a multitargeted antifolate agent with activity in mesothelioma and non small lung cancer (NSCLC). A phase I study of a combination of GEM plus ptx for advanced malignancies was conducted. Methods: Patients with advanced malignancies were enrolled in this accelerated dose escalation trial. Both patients with or without prior chemotherapy were also eligible. They were treated with Gem followed by ptx on days 1 and 15 every 4 weeks. The starting dose was GEM 1250 mg/m2 and ptx 300 mg/m2. The dose of each drug was escalated alternately by 250 mg for GEM and 50 mg for ptx at each dose level. Results: A total of 41 patients (9 female/32 males) with median age of 60 years were enrolled at 6 dose levels. A total of 93 cycles were conducted with a median number of 2 cycles/pt. 35 patients were assessable for efficacy and all courses were assessable for toxicity. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in 8 cycles whereas grade 3 /4 anemia and grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia in 3 and 2 cycles respectively. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia occurred in 1 cycle. Other ≥ grade 3 non-hematological toxicities were observed in only 3 cycles [grade 3/4 asthenia: in 2 cy; grade 3 edema: in 1 cy). The MTD was 1750 mg/m2 for GEM and 450 mg/m2 for ptx. Dose limiting toxicities were grade IV neutropenia, grade III thrombocytopenia and febrile neutropenia. Two partial responses (1 patient with ovarian cancer and 1 with NSCLC) were observed and stable disease in 4. Conclusions: The recommended doses for further phase II studies are GEM (1750 mg/m2) followed by ptx (450 mg/m2) biweekly. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

BackgroundAgonistic 4-1BB monoclonal antibodies were preclinically validated as promising cancer immunotherapies, both as monotherapy and as potentiators of the activity of PD-(L)1–blocking agents. However, toxicity and a narrow therapeutic window have hampered their clinical development. DuoBody-PD­-L1×4-1BB, a first-in-class, bispecific, next-generation checkpoint immunotherapy, was designed to overcome these limitations by activating T cells through conditional 4-1BB costimulation, while simultaneously blocking the PD-L1 axis. We present preliminary data from the ongoing, first-in-human, open-label, phase I/IIa trial of DuoBody-PD-L1×4-1BB in advanced solid tumors (NCT03917381).MethodsDuring dose escalation, patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors not eligible for standard therapy received flat-dose DuoBody-PD-L1×4-1BB (25–1200 mg) intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoints were dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and adverse events (AEs). Secondary endpoints included pharmacokinetic parameters and antitumor activity (RECIST 1.1). Pharmacodynamic biomarkers and antitumor activity (iRECIST) were assessed as exploratory endpoints.ResultsAs of June 22, 2020, 61 patients were enrolled (median age: 59 years). The most common cancer types were colorectal (19.7%), ovarian (14.8%), pancreatic (9.8%), and NSCLC (9.8%). Patients had previously received a median (range) of 3 (1–11) treatments; 44.2% had prior anti-PD-(L)1 immunotherapy. Patients received a median (range) of 4 (1–15) treatment cycles; Cmax was observed shortly after the end of infusion (mean T½: 2.3–10.3 days). Maximum tolerated dose was not reached; 6 patients experienced DLTs. The most common (=10%) treatment-related AEs (all grades; grades 3–4) were transaminase elevation (24.6%; 9.8%), hypothyroidism (16.4%; 1.6%), and fatigue (13.1%; 1.6%). Treatment-related grade-3 transaminase elevations decreased upon corticosteroid administration; no treatment-related bilirubin increases or grade-4 transaminase elevations occurred. Disease control, including stable disease at first assessment and partial responses in triple-negative breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)–pretreated NSCLC, occurred in 40/61 patients (65.6%). Pharmacologic activity, as measured by modulation of adaptive immunity mediators, was observed across a broad range of dose levels. Peripheral proliferating (Ki67+) CD8+ effector memory T cells and serum interferon-gamma levels showed maximum induction relative to baseline (p=0.01) 8 days following treatment.ConclusionsDuoBody-PD-L1×4-1BB demonstrated biologic activity and a manageable safety profile. Encouraging early clinical activity across different dose levels was observed in a heavily pretreated population with advanced solid tumors, including those resistant to prior immunotherapy or typically less sensitive to ICIs. Expansion cohorts of patients for whom DuoBody-PD-L1×4-1BB treatment could be relevant and biologically sound have started enrollment. Updated data will be presented.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank Manish Gupta, Lei Pang, and Thomas Breuer at Genmab A/S; Alice Bexon, Alexander Muik, and Friederike Gieseke at BioNTech SE; and Zuzana Jirakova (formerly at BioNTech SE) for their valuable contributions.

PURPOSE: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of a weekly schedule of irinotecan (CPT-11), leucovorin (LV), and a 24-hour infusion of fluorouracil (5-FU24h) as first-line chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer and to assess preliminary data on the antitumor activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-six patients with measurable metastatic colorectal cancer were entered onto this phase I study. In the first six dose levels, fixed doses of CPT-11 (80 mg/m2) and LV (500 mg/m2) in combination with escalated doses of 5-FU24h ranging from 1.8 to 2.6 g/m2 were administered on a weekly-times-four (dose levels 1 to 4) or weekly-times-six (dose levels 5 to 6) schedule. The dose of CPT-11 was then increased to 100 mg/m2 (dose level 7). RESULTS: Seventy-nine cycles of 5-FU24h/LV with CPT-11 were administered in an outpatient setting. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed during the first cycle at dose levels 1 to 6, but diarrhea of grade 4 (National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria) was observed in three patients after multiple treatment cycles. Other nonhematologic and hematologic side effects, specifically alopecia and neutropenia, did not exceed grade 2. With the escalation of CPT-11 to 100 mg/m2 (dose level 7), diarrhea of grade 3 or higher was observed in four of six patients during the first cycle; thus, the MTD was achieved. Sixteen of 25 response-assessable patients (64%; 95% confidence interval, 45% to 83%) achieved an objective response. CONCLUSION: The recommended doses for further studies are CPT-11 80 mg/m2, LV 500 mg/m2, and 5-FU24h 2.6 g/m2 given on a weekly-times-six schedule followed by a 1-week rest period. The addition of CPT-11 to 5-FU24h/LV seems to improve the therapeutic efficacy in terms of tumor response with manageable toxicity.
