8049 Background: Preclinical data indicate that vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, enhances the efficacy of gemcitabine and platinum chemotherapy agents. This study investigated the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of vorinostat plus gemcitabine and a platinum agent in patients (pts) with advanced NSCLC. Methods: Eligible pts (aged ≥18 years; stage IIIB/IV NSCLC, ECOG performance status ≤1, no prior systemic chemotherapy [except adjuvant]) were sequentially enrolled on escalating doses of vorinostat plus gemcitabine and a platinum agent (standard 3+3 design) for ≤6 cycles ( Table ). Carboplatin regimens were to be investigated if dose levels 1 or 2 exceeded the MTD. Results: 28 pts enrolled to date (M/F: 22/6; median age: [range] 55 [34–70] years; 20 chemonaïve) at 5 dose levels ( Table ). Two pts had DLTs: elevated creatinine leading to cisplatin dose reduction (dose level 2) and febrile neutropenia (dose level 5) ( Table ). Dose level 5 was achieved without reaching the MTD; however, based on clinical tolerability, dose level 4 was chosen as the recommended dose (RD). 24 pts had adverse events (AEs): 86% mild/moderate, 53% not considered treatment-related. The most common drug-related Grade 3/4 AEs were thrombocytopenia (19 events) and neutropenia (14 events). Serious AEs occurred in 15 pts, and 5 deaths occurred (1 ‘probably‘ and 4 ‘definitely not‘ treatment-related). Of 19 evaluable pts at 5 dose levels, 9 (47%) had a partial response, 8 stable disease, and 2 disease progression ( Table ). Updated results of pts treated at the RD in an expansion cohort will be presented. Conclusions: These phase I data suggest that vorinostat can be administered with standard doses of gemcitabine and cisplatin and the combination is active in the initial treatment of metastatic NSCLC: randomized trials are needed to determine whether addition of vorinostat improves outcomes in such pts.

e13506 Background: SJG-136 is a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer that forms covalent DNA crosslinks in a sequence-specific manner in the minor groove. In vitro testing demonstrated a broad pattern of antitumor activity in sub-nmol concentrations. A phase I study in patients (pts) with solid tumors revealed clinical activity, defined MTD as 30 mg/m2/d administered on daily x 3 schedule, and confirmed manageable toxicity. Here we report the results of a CTEP-sponsored phase I trial of SJG-136 administered on a daily x 5 schedule in pts with relapsed or refractory (R/R) leukemias. Methods: Previously treated pts with R/R acute leukemias (AML, ALL, high risk MDS, CML blast phase) or R/R CLL with adequate organ function and ECOG performance status of ≤ 2 were eligible for the study. The starting dose level was 6 mcg/m2 given intravenously daily x 5 days on a 21 day cycle. Pts were sequentially enrolled in cohorts of 3 and the dose was escalated in a classic 3+3 schema at the dose levels: 6, 12, 24, and 36 mcg/m2. Repeat courses and intrapatient dose escalation were allowed. Results: Sixteen pts (11M, 5 F) were enrolled on the study. The median age of the patients was 53 (21–84). Thirteen (81%) pts had R/R AML, and 3 (19%) had R/R ALL of which 5 (31%) had diploid and 6 (38%) had adverse cytogenetics. Median number of prior therapies was 3 (2–6). Pts enrolled at each dose level (mcg/m2) were: 6 (3 pts), 12 (5 pts), 24 (4 pts), 36 (4 pts). The median number of cycles delivered was 1 (0–5). The dose of 36 mcg/m2 was found to be above the MTD, with the DLT being grade 3 soft tissue edema. Other manifestations of vascular leak including grade I, II hypoalbuminemia, edema, and pleural effusions were seen in a number of patients starting at dose level 24 mcg/m2 and above. Other non-dose limiting toxicities included nausea, dyspnea, fatigue, bloating, and insomnia. One pt had a PR, 8 pts had stable disease, and 6 had progression. Pharmacokinetic characteristics in this population will be reported. Conclusions: SJG-136 is safe and active in patients with advanced leukemias. Edema and other vascular leak syndromes are characteristic toxicities of the agent at higher dose levels. 24 mcg/m2 is the recommended phase II dose for the daily x 5 schedule.

164 Background: Angiogenesis and suboptimal antitumor immune response are important in the progression of CRPC. Both LEN and metronomic CTX have known anti-angiogenic and immunomodulatory activities. A phase I study of a novel combination of metronomic CTX with LEN in patients with CRPC who have failed prior docetaxel therapy was initiated to assess safety and effects on potential biomarkers. Methods: CTX was given 50 mg PO QD(day 1-28) and LEN 10-25 mg PO QD(day 1-21) on a 28 day cycle. Dose limiting toxicity was defined as any treatment-related grade 4 hematologic event or grade 3 / 4 non-hematologic event during cycles one. Quantification of circulating tumor cells (CTC), plasma cytokines, analgesic consumption and quality of life assessments were performed. Measurement of Treg and MDSCs were performed in some patients. Results: 17 patients with CRPC have been enrolled in L0-4; all patients are evaluable for toxicity. Patient characteristics include: ECOG performance status 0/1= 4/13; median age=77 (range 50–86); median PSA=36.7 (range 1.36–2287). Dose level 1 (CTX 50 mg/d, LEN 10 mg/d) was expanded to 6 patients after one out of three initial patients was removed from the study for Gr 3 gastrointestinal bleeding (in cycle 1). Dose level 1 (CTX 25 mg/d, LEN 10 mg/d) had no DLT’s. The maximum tolerated dose has not yet been reached. Other Grade 3/4 toxicities observed after cycle 1 included grade 3 pain (N=1), grade 3 neutropenia (N=4), grade 3 thrombocytopenia (N=2), grade 4 neutropenia (N=2). Most frequent grade 1 and 2 toxicities included anemia, fatigue, neutropenia, and hypocalcemia. Overall, 9 of 14 patients (64%) have experienced a reduction in PSA. One patient had partial response after one cycle. Stable disease was documented in 5 of 14 (36%) evaluable patients. Two inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 (N = 19; r = 0.64; p = 0.0035) and IL-8 (N = 9; r = 0.86; p = 0.0028), were found to significantly correlated with PSA. Conclusions: The combination of metronomic CTX and LEN can be safely administered. Preliminary clinical activity was observed in this heavily-pretreated patient population. Enrollment to this study continues and clinical and biomarker studies are ongoing.

e16504 Background: Pts with rCC in PIA might benefit from cDDP plus HT. Lap inhibits the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER2. Overexpression of EGFR and HER2 is often seen in pts with CC and might be involved in chemotherapy resistance. Besides, preclinical data suggest a synergistic effect of combining cDDP and Lap. Therefore, this phase I dose-escalation study was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Lap added to fixed doses of cDDP and HT. Methods: Pts with rCC in PIA, adequate organ function and ECOG performance status 0-1 were scheduled for 6 weekly administrations of 70 mg/m2cDDP plus locoregional HT. Daily Lap was added on days 1-56, starting at a dose-level of 1000 mg. The MTD was defined as the highest dose where ≤1/6 pts experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Safety, pharmacodynamics (PhD) and response were assessed. Results: Eight pts were treated. The first 4 pts (2 each at dose 1000 mg and 750 mg) experienced DLT. Of the 4 pts treated at dose level -2 (500 mg), only 1 pt was able to complete the treatment as planned, 2 pts experienced a DLT and 1 pt was not evaluable (NE), because of early progressive disease (PD) (see Table). In the evaluable pts 1 PD, 4 stable diseases and 2 partial responses (PR) were observed. One patient with PR had a resection of the local recurrence. Analysis of the resected specimen showed a pathological complete response (pCR). Enumeration of circulating endothelial cells measured at baseline and during therapy did not show consistent results. The same applied for the PhD on Ki-67, p27Kip1and EGFR in pretreatment and on-therapy skin biopsies. Conclusions: It is not feasible to combine Lap with fixed doses of cDDP and HT in pts with rCC in PIA mainly due to increased cDDP-related toxicity. The observed pCR is intriguing and warrants further investigation of combining HER2-blockade and cDDP/HT. Clinical trial information: NL24464.078.08. [Table: see text]

1045 Background: We have previously described a mathematical method to optimize chemotherapy dose and schedule (Norton et al, AACR 2005). Capecitabine (C) has activity in breast cancer when conventionally dosed for 14 days (d) q3 weeks (14/7). However, the predicted optimal dosing schedule for C using our model is 7d followed by a 7d rest (biweekly, 7/7). We tested this hypothesis in a Phase I/II study described below. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) have measurable, metastatic breast cancer (MBC), ECOG performance status (PS) =2 and normal organ function. There is no limit to number of prior chemotherapy (CRx) regimens. Pts with prior fluoropyrimidine for MBC are excluded. HER2+ pts must not be candidates for trastuzumab. C is given in divided daily doses for 7d followed by a 7d rest. A standard “3+3” dose escalation scheme employs flat dosing which begins at 1,500mg BID and increases by 500mg/dose level. Primary endpoint is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), defined as the highest dose for which the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is <33%. Results: 19 pts are now accrued; 17 pts have been treated, 2 withdrew prior to receiving C. Medians: age 47 y (range 34–62 y) and ECOG PS 0 (range 0–2). Sites of MBC: bone 8, viscera 16, soft tissue 11. ER/PR+ 11. HER2+ or unknown 2. Prior adjuvant tx: CRx 17, hormone tx 10. Six pts had adjuvant fluoropyrimidine-based tx. Three pts had 1 prior CRx for MBC; 12 pts received first-line hormone tx for MBC. Fifteen pts had prior anthracycline and taxane. Treatment-related toxicities after a median of 4 cycles (range 1–10) are shown in the table . The MTD has not been reached. Pts continue accrual to the 2500mg/2500mg dose level. Conclusions: Capecitabine 7/7 is well tolerated and allows for safe delivery of higher daily doses than routinely used in practice, as predicted by the mathematical model. Capecitabine 7/7 will be tested in a Phase II program at MSKCC in combination with targeted agents. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background/Objective: With the increasing interest in natural products, a phase I openlabel study of OMN54 (Aneustat™) in patients with advanced malignancies was initiated to determine toxicity, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicities (DLT), and pharmacokinetics (PK). OMN54 is a multitargeted agent, combining three Chinese botanicals; Ganoderma lucidium, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Scutellaria barbata. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) were >18 years of age with advanced solid tumors, able to swallow oral capsules, ECOG performance status < 2, measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 and adequate organ function. Results: Twenty-two patients were enrolled in 6 dose levels, 2 with daily dosing and 4 with twicedaily dosing ranging from 1 to 5 grams daily. All were evaluated for toxicity and 20 for response. No treatment-related dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were reported and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) was determined to be 2.5 g twice daily. Seven adverse events in 5 patients were reported as possibly drug-related; 6 were GI toxicity and 1 was a skin disorder. All were grade 1 except one grade 2 vomiting. No RECIST responses were seen. Six pts were treated with > 2 cycles; one for 8 cycles. Four patients had reductions in TGF –β and EGF, exploratory biomarkers possibly suggestive of a drug effect. Plasma half-lives of 1 -2 hours were noted for all parent drug chemical markers with no accumulation over time. Conclusion: OMN54 was well tolerated, with no DLTs observed. Further studies at the RP2D will assess the biological activity.

e16210 Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 10%. Overexpression of c-Met is associated with the poor prognosis in patients with PDAC and it was noted that phosphorylation of c-Met is increased in gemcitabine-resistant PDAC. AL2846 is an oral c-Met inhibitor, which targets multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK’s) primarily including c-Met, VEGFR1, KIT, Axl and RET. The combination of AL2846 with chemotherapy may improve the clinical efficacy of PDAC. Based on these consideration, a phase Ⅰ clinical trial was initiated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AL2846 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with advanced PDAC and to clarify the potential anti-tumor activity. Methods: Patients with untreated locally advanced or metastatic PDAC were enrolled to receive oral AL2846 once daily in a fasted state in combination with gemcitabine intravenous infusion over 30 min on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days. The starting dose level is AL2846 40 mg and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2. Primary endpoint was the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), defined as the highest dose level at which ≤33 % of patients incurred a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and RP2D. Secondary endpoints included response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: As of January 1, 2021, a total of 15 patients with PDAC were enrolled and received 4 dose-levels of AL2846 (40 mg: n = 1; 60 mg: n = 6; 90 mg: n = 3; 120 mg: n = 5) treatment. DLTs occurred in 1 patient who experienced grade 3 abnormal liver function. The most common grade 3 or above drug-related adverse events were neutropenia (n = 7, 46.7%), thrombocytopenia (n = 5, 33.3%), leukopenia (n = 4, 26.7%), GGT increased (n = 4, 26.7%), hyperbilirubinemia (n = 3, 20.0%) and alkaline phosphatase increased (n = 3, 20.0%). Among the 15 patients available for efficacy evaluation, 1 patient (6.6%) achieved partial response who was at the dose levels of 90mg. There were 4 patients whose PFS was more than 5 months. Although there were no more than 2 DLT events, we chose 90 and 120 mg as the target dose for RP2D according to the dose reduction and proportion of gemcitabine. Conclusions: The RP2D of AL2846 in combination with standard dose of gemcitabine were 90 and 120 mg QD continuously. The results demonstrated that AL2846 in combination with gemcitabine was well tolerated at doses up to 120 mg. Further clinical studies about the efficacy of AL2846 in pancreatic cancer are in progress. Clinical trial information: CTR20201021.

PURPOSE This study was designed to define the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacology of paclitaxel administered by the intraperitoneal (IP) route on a weekly schedule. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-three patients with residual ovarian cancer following standard chemotherapy were entered onto this phase I trial. Patients were treated weekly with IP paclitaxel administered in 2 L of normal saline following premedication. Patients with nonassessable disease received 16 weekly courses. The initial dose level was 20 mg/m2/wk. There was no intrapatient dose escalation. RESULTS Multiple grade 2 toxicities were observed at the 75-mg/m2/wk dose level. These toxicities included abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, leukopenia, and fatigue. One episode of grade 4 vomiting thought to be secondary to a transient partial small-bowel obstruction occurred at this dose level. At dose levels > or = 60 to 65 mg/m2, pharmacology studies documented the persistence of significant IP paclitaxel levels 1 week after drug administration, suggesting very slow peritoneal clearance and continuous exposure of the peritoneal cavity to active concentrations of paclitaxel. Low plasma paclitaxel concentrations were detected in the majority of patients treated at dose levels > or = 55 mg/m2. CONCLUSION Paclitaxel can be delivered by the IP route on a weekly schedule with both an acceptable toxicity profile and a major pharmacokinetic advantage for cavity exposure. The recommended dose and schedule for phase II study of IP paclitaxel is 60 to 65 mg/m2 weekly.

Abstract HCD122 is a novel, fully human, IgG1 antagonistic monoclonal antibody targeting the CD40 receptor. This antibody blocks CD40-mediated signaling and is a potent mediator of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Previous preclinical investigation confirmed expression of CD40 on myeloma cells in the majority of patients and reported antitumor activity of HCD122 against multiple myeloma cells ex vivo (Tai, Y et al. Cancer Res2005; 65(13): 5898–5906). This ongoing phase 1 study will determine the maximum tolerated dose of CHIR-12.12 in multiple myeloma patients (pts) who are relapsed or refractory after at least one prior therapy. Planned dose levels are 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg administered IV once weekly for 4 weeks. Each dose group will enroll 3–6 pts to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and clinical response. To date, 9 pts have been treated at 2 dose levels: 3 pts at 1 mg/kg and 6 pts at 3 mg/kg. Median patient age is 65 yrs (46–81 yrs); median number of prior therapies is 3 (2–12). No dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred at the 1mg/kg dose level. At 3 mg/kg, 1 DLT of grade 4 thrombocytopenia occurred in 1 pt. No other grade 3 and 4 lab abnormalities and adverse events have been reported. In 7 pts with available data, infusions were well tolerated, with easily managed grade 1–2 toxicities, primarily chills (5 pts), nausea (3 pts), pyrexia (2 pts), and arthralgia (2 pts) mainly reported during the first infusion. Preliminary PK analysis showed more than dose proportional - increase in Cmax and AUC at the 3 mg/kg dose level compared to the 1 mg/kg dose level. At the 3 mg/kg dose, antibody accumulation occurred week-to-week; the mean Cmax after the fourth infusion on Day 22 was 126.1 mg/mL(range 52 – 195 ug/mL) and HCD122 levels were measurable up to Day 57 and in one patient up to Day 99. One week after the last 3 mg/kg dose, trough levels ranged from 28 to 109 mg/mL. Of the 3 pts at 1 mg/kg, one showed stable disease (SD) for >23 weeks and two had progressive disease (PD) by week 5. Of the 6 pts at 3 mg/kg, one had partial response (PR) at week 9 and was confirmed at week 15, one had SD for > 5 weeks, and 4 had PD at week 5. One pt with PD terminated the study before final safety evaluation, and must be replaced before assessment of the 3mg/kg dose level is complete. Thus, in preliminary studies, HCD122 appears to be safe and well tolerated to date at doses of 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg weekly for 4 doses and shows promising anti-myeloma activity. Enrollment is continuing to determine MTD.

Abstract Oral cyclophosphamide and prednisone is a convenient regimen in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM), with a partial response (PR) rate of 40% and median progression-free survival of 19 months in our retrospective analysis of patients in first or second relapse after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (Trieu Y, et al, Mayo Clin Proc2005; 80: 1582). We sought to enhance the efficacy of this regimen by adding oral lenalidomide (Revlimid®), a potent anti-myeloma agent, in a phase I-II trial. The CPR regimen consisted of cyclophosphamide on days 1, 8 and 15, lenalidomide on days 1–21, and prednisone 100 mg every other day in a 28-day cycle. ASA 81 mg/day was given to all patients (pts) as prophylaxis for DVT. Three dose levels were evaluated using a 3 by 3 dose escalation design. Between 11/2007–07/2008, 15 pts with relapsed/refractory MM were entered onto study. Median age was 60 (45–78) years and 60% were male. Immunoglobulin subtype was IgGκ:λ in 10:1; IgA κ:λ in 2:1 and κ light chain in 1. Median number of prior regimens was 2 (1–3) and 14 had undergone previous ASCT, including double transplants in 2 pts. Prior therapy also included thalidomide in 3 (20%) and bortezomib in 6 (40%). FISH cytogenetics were available in 9, but none had 13q deletion, t(4;14) or p53 deletion. At the time of protocol entry, median β2-microglobulin level was 222 (92–325) nm/L, albumin 38 (35–46) g/L, creatinine 78 (50–100) μmol/L, platelet count 230 (93–318) x 109/L and ANC 2.5 (1.9–9.0) x 109/L. Protocol treatment is summarized in Table 1.

Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia was seen in 1 pt (cohort 2) and neutropenia in 4 pts (1 in cohort 1, 1 in cohort 2 and 2 in cohort 3) and were managed with dose reduction and/or growth factor support. No episodes of febrile neutropenia occurred in any pt. Only 1 pt experienced varicella zoster; routine antiviral prophylaxis was not used. Other grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicities were uncommon and included abdominal pain/bacteremia in 1 pt in cohort 1, hypokalemia in 1 pt in cohort 2, and DVT in 1 pt in cohort 3. Mild grade 1/2 constipation (47%), muscle cramps (33%) and fatigue (33%) were also noted. To date, best response includes the following: dose level 1 (1 near complete remission [nCR], 2 PR); dose level 2 (3 PR); dose level 3 (4 PR, 2 minimal response [MR]); expanded cohort 3 (1 MR, 2 too early). We conclude: 1) the combination of full doses of the agents in CPR can be given in a 28-day cycle with minimal toxicity; 2) the overall response rate (nCR + PR + MR) in 13 evaluable pts to date is 87%; 3) no pts have progressed in this preliminary analysis; 4) longer follow-up is required to assess the long-term efficacy of this regimen.

Dose Levels

12024 Background: Carboplatin (CBDCA) and gemcitabine (GEM) in combination is used commonly in lung cancer and is administered on a 21 day cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CBDCA and GEM administered on a biweekly schedule and to assess safety and efficacy of this schedule. Methods: GEM was given intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes followed by CBDCA also given IV over 30 minutes. This combination was given on day 1 every 2 weeks. The dose levels examined are shown in the Table . A total of 26 patients were studied (18 male, 8 female) with median age of 56 (range 41–83 years); ECOG performance status of 24 patients were 0 (5), 1 (16), 2 (2), 3 (1); prior chemotherapy ranged from 0 to 4 regimens; median number of cycles administered per patient was 3 (range 1–9) with a total of 81 cycles. The primary tumors were lung (11), melanoma (4), head and neck (3), squamous cell penile/toe (2), bladder (2), kidney (1), gastric (1), esophageal (1) and ovary (1). Results: No DLTs were seen in any of these patients and the MTD was not reached. Delay in treatment was seen in total of 6 cycles due to myelosuppression and 1 cycle due to nausea and anorexia. Grade 3/4 hematological toxicity rates: anemia - 3/81 cycles (3.7%), neutropenia - 20/81 cycles (25%), and thrombocytopenia - 4/81 cycles (5%). Non-hematological toxicity was mild. The median time to progression was 40 days (range 4–133) and of 18 evaluable patients partial response or stable disease was seen in 7 (38.8%). Conclusions: Even at maximum tested dose of GEM at 2000 mg/m2 and CBDCA at AUC of 3.0, this schedule is well tolerated. Hematological toxicity such as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was minimal. We plan to study this schedule of GEM and CBDCA in appropriate tumor types in combination with biologic agents. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
