e13524 Background: Reovirus has minimal pathogenicity in humans but selectively replicates in cells with activated Ras. Wild- type reovirus serotype 3 Dearing strain (Reolysin) has selective antitumor activity in vitro, in murine models, and after systemic delivery in humans in phase 1 trials. Synergistic tumour kill has been observed combining reovirus with taxanes in a range of cancer cell lines and in vivo. Methods: Patients were treated in an open-label, dose-escalating, phase I trial and received 3- weekly 75mg/m2 docetaxel i.v. and reovirus i.v. (day 1–5 of first week inclusive). Reovirus was administered at a starting dose of 3x109 tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) and then increased to 1 x 1010 and 3 x 1010 TCID50. Primary endpoints were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and to recommend a dose and schedule for future investigation. Secondary endpoints were to evaluate pharmacokinetics, neutralizing antibody development, cell- mediated immune response and anti-tumour activity. Results: 17 patients were treated (15 males, median age 60 years). No MTD has been reached. DLT's observed were G4 neutropenia (and a recurrent perianal abcess) and G3 rise in AST. Other toxicities observed were fatigue, hypotension and neutropenic sepsis. At present, 5 patients remain on treatment. We have observed 2 partial responses (breast and gastric carcinoma) and 10 patients had stable disease as best response. Conclusions: Reovirus is well tolerated when administered in combination with intravenous docetaxel, with predictable toxicity observed. The recommended dose has been defined at 3x1010 TCID50 and phase II studies are planned. Objective radiological evidence of anticancer activity for this combination has been observed.

e18118 Background: In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the antiproliferative effects of 1, 25 (OH)2D3 (calcitriol) as single agent and antitumor synergy with cisplatin. The goals of this Phase I/II study were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 1, 25 (OH)2 D3 in combination with cisplatin and docetaxel, and to evaluate the efficacy in patients (pts) with metastatic NSCLC.Methods: The study was a multicenter, open-label study in pts with metastatic NSCLC. Pts were adults 18 yrs., PS 0-1 with normal liver/kidney function. For the phase I study, pts (3–6 per cohort) received 1, 25 (OH)2 D3 I.V. every 21 days prior to docetaxel and cisplatin. The starting dose of 1,25 (OH)2D3 was 15 mcg/m2 at sequential ascending dose levels (DL) (15, 30, 60 and 80 mcg/m2) using a 3+3 design targeting a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate of <33%. Docetaxel was administered at 75 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75mg/m2 following 1, 25 (OH)2 D3 for 4 cycles. We analyzed SNPs in the CYP24A1 gene.Results: 37 pts were enrolled (16 in phase I and 21 in phase II) with a median age of 54 (range 34–79) yrs.; M: F, 12:17. At the 80 mcg/m2 dose level, 2/4 pts had DLT of grade 4 neutropenia. There were no cases of hypercalcemia or azotemia. The MTD and recommended Phase II dose was 60 mcg/m2. Among 6 response-evaluable Phase I pts, and 21 phase II pts, there were: 2 confirmed partial responses (PR), 6 unconfirmed PRs and 10 pts with stable disease. The median time to progression was 6.9 months (95% CI 4.4, 12.9) and the median overall survival was 8.3 months (95% CI 5.8, 14.9). Of the CYP24A1 SNPs, the IVS4-308C>G was associated with progressive disease (Chi-Square=0.0062)Conclusions: The MTD of 1,25 (OH)2D3 in combination with docetaxel and cisplatin was 60 mcg/m2 IV every 21 days. Pre-specified endpoint of a 50% response rate was not met in the phase II study. However, disease control in 66% of patients argues for further study of 1,25 (OH)2D3 as maintenance therapy. The CYP24A1 polymorphism IVS4-308C>G may be associated with resistance to a 1,25 (OH)2D3 based therapeutic regimen

AbstractPrevious studies have shown that human liver stem-like cells (HLSCs) may undergo differentiation in vitro into urea producing hepatocytes and in vivo may sustain liver function in models of experimentally induced acute liver injury. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of HLSCs intrahepatic administration in inherited neonatal-onset hyperammonemia. The study was approved by the Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco on favorable opinion of the Italian Institute of Health as an open-label, prospective, uncontrolled, monocentric Phase I study (HLSC 01–11, EudraCT-No. 2012–002120-33). Three patients affected by argininosuccinic aciduria (patient 1) and methylmalonic acidemia (patients 2 and 3) and included in the liver transplantation list were enrolled. In all patients, HLSCs were administered by percutaneous intrahepatic injections (once a week for two consecutive weeks) within the first months of life. The first patient received 125,000 HLSCs x gram of liver/dose while the other two patients received twice this dose. No immunosuppression was administered since HLSCs possess immunomodulatory activities. None of the patients experienced infections, hyperammonemia decompensation, or other adverse events during the whole observation period. No donor specific antibodies (DSA) against HLSCs were detected. Patients were metabolic stable despite an increase (~30%) in protein intake. Two patients underwent liver transplantation after 19 and 11 months respectively, and after explantation, the native livers showed no histological alterations. In conclusion, percutaneous intrahepatic administration of HLSCs was safe in newborn with inherited neonatal-onset hyperammonemia. These data pave the way for Phase II studies in selected inherited and acquired liver disorders.

Galectin 3

13023 Background: Galectin-3 is a galactoside-binding protein implicated in inhibition of apoptosis, and promotion of angiogenesis, metastasis, cellular proliferation by a direct association with oncogenic K-ras. Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is a complex carbohydrate derived from citrus fruit and is rich in galactoside residues. GCS-100 is an MCP capable of binding to and antagonizing galectin-3, resulting in anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo. Methods: GCS-100 was administered to patients with refractory solid tumors in a Phase I dose-escalating study using standard eligibility criteria. Objectives were to determine dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy. Study drug was delivered by IV infusion over 1–2 hours for 5 consecutive days of a 21 day cycle. Results: 24 patients (17 F, 7 M, age 45–80 yo) were enrolled at 6 dose levels between 30–200 mg/m2. DLT and MTD for this dosing regimen were established at 200 mg/m2 and 160 mg/m2, respectively. DLT was a Grade 3 erythematous, maculopapular rash, resolving with systemic steroid treatment. There were no associated systemic findings, and the rash did not preclude further GCS-100 therapy. Skin biopsy revealed a vasculitis similar to findings seen in dog models. 9 other patients experienced Grade 1–2 rashes that did not require systemic treatment. The majority of adverse events (AEs) were Grade 1 or 2; the most common being nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever and hyperglycemia. AEs thought to be related to treatment were rash, nausea and fatigue. Linear PKs were observed with a terminal half-life (t1/2) between 30–40 h and an effective t1/2 of 36 h. Peak GCS-100 concentrations reached 424 μg/mL at MTD. The median number of cycles was 4 (range 1–17). Best overall response per RECIST was stable disease observed in 16 patients with 6 of these patients on study for ≥ 6 months. Conclusion: Overall tolerability of GCS-100 was excellent with serum concentrations at MTD reaching levels associated with preclinical activity. Sustained periods of stable disease were achieved in patients with previously treated advanced solid tumors warranting Phase II studies. [Table: see text]

2574 Background: PTC596 is an oral investigational new drug that reduces levels of BMI1, a protein required for CSC survival. PTC596 reduced the number of CSCs in preclinical models and slowed growth rates of tumor xenografts in rodent models. The primary objectives of this first-in-human trial of PTC596 were to determine safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and pharmacokinetics (PK). Secondary objectives included exploratory assessments of biological efficacy, pharmacodynamic changes and anti-tumor activity. Methods: A Phase I multi-center, open-label study was conducted in patients with advanced solid tumors using a modified 3+3 design, followed by a dose-confirmatory 10-patient expansion. PTC596 was administered using bodyweight-adjusted twice-per-week (biw) oral dosing in 4 week cycles. Dose escalation and MTD were based on observed cycle 1 DLTs. Anti-tumor activity was assessed by RECIST 1.1. Results: A total of 31 patients with a broad range of tumor types were enrolled at dose levels of 0.65 (N = 3), 1.3 (N = 3), 2.6 (N = 3), 5.2 (N = 11), 7 (N = 8) and 10 mg/kg (N = 3). Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea were the most common all grade adverse events, though usually mild and manageable. At 10 mg/kg one patient experienced DLTs of neutropenia, mucositis, and thrombocytopenia. The other two patients at this dose level also experienced poor tolerability with Grade 2 nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that may be partially due to the overall pill burden and excipients. The recommended dose for the expansion and further study was 7 mg/kg. Over the dosing range, plasma concentrations of PTC596 increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner and at doses of 2.6 mg/kg and above exceeded those associated with activity in vitro and in vivo models. Best response was stable disease in 5 patients including two with minor radiographic reductions in tumor volume. Conclusions: PTC596 is tolerable with manageable gastrointestinal side effects. At 7 mg/kg biw exposures exceeded those associated with preclinical activity and future clinical studies are planned for this first-in class molecule that targets CSCs. Clinical trial information: NCT02404480.

OBJECTIVE: TO study the effects of ofloxacin on the reliability of urine glucose testing. DESIGN: Open-label, nonrandomized. SETTING: A university-affiliated tertiary care hospital, ambulatory clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Ten healthy volunteers (8 men and 2 women) aged 22-39 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Phase I (in vitro) involved the addition of selected amounts of ofloxacin to a set of standard 50-mL urine samples prepared to simulate glycosuria. Phase II (in vivo) involved the oral administration of ofloxacin 400 mg to 10 subjects. Urine was collected: (1) immediately predose, (2) pooled 0–4 hours postdose, and (3) pooled 4–8 hours postdose. Known glucose concentrations were then added to these samples. Clinitest and Diastix tests were performed on all samples. The accuracy of these tests in determining glucose concentrations was compared among urine samples taken before and after ofloxacin dosing. RESULTS: None of the ofloxacin concentrations in phase I (0,25,50, 100, 200,400, and 800 μg/mL) influenced these testing methods at the urine glucose concentrations of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 2%. Likewise, the accuracy of these two tests was unaffected by ofloxacin administration in phase II. CONCLUSIONS: In single-dose administration, ofloxacin does not interfere with Clinitest or Diastix for determining urine glucose concentrations.

Ricin A

Anti-B4-blocked Ricin (Anti-B4-bR) is an immunotoxin comprised of the anti-B4 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) and the protein toxin “blocked ricin.” The anti-B4 MoAb is directed against the B-lineage-restricted CD19 antigen expressed on more than 95% of normal and neoplastic B cells. Blocked ricin is an altered ricin derivative that has its nonspecific binding eliminated by chemically blocking the galactose binding domains of the B chain. In vitro cytotoxicity studies demonstrate that the IC37 of Anti-B4-bR is 2 x 10(-11) mol/L compared with 4 x 10(-12) mol/L for native ricin. A phase I dose escalation clinical trial was conducted in 25 patients with refractory B-cell malignancies. Anti-B4-bR was administered by daily 1-hour bolus infusion for 5 consecutive days at doses ranging from 1 microgram/kg/d to 60 micrograms/kg/d. Serum levels above 1 nmol/L were achieved transiently in the majority of patients treated at the maximum tolerated dose of 50 micrograms/kg/d for 5 days for a total dose of 250 micrograms/kg. The dose-limiting toxicity was defined by transient, reversible grade 3 elevations in hepatic transaminases, without impaired hepatic synthetic function. Minor toxicities included transient hypoalbuminemia, thrombocytopenia, and fevers. Human antimouse antibody and human anti-ricin antibody were detected in nine patients. One complete response, two partial responses, and eight mixed or transient responses were observed. These results show the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of Anti-B4-bR and indicate that this immunotoxin can be administered as a daily bolus infusion for 5 days with tolerable, reversible toxicity.

Background: YYB101, a humanized monoclonal antibody against hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), has shown safety and efficacy in vitro and in vivo. This is a first-in-human trial of this antibody. Materials and Methods: YYB101 was administered intravenously to refractory cancer patients once every 4 weeks for 1 month, and then once every 2 weeks until disease progression or intolerable toxicity, at doses of 0.3, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30 mg/kg, according to a 3+3 dose escalation design. Maximum tolerated dose, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics were studied. HGF, MET, PD-L1, and ERK expression was evaluated for 9 of 17 patients of the expansion cohort (20 mg/kg). Results: In 39 patients enrolled, no dose-limiting toxicity was observed at 0.3 mg/kg, and the most commonly detected toxicity was generalized edema ( n = 7, 18.9%) followed by pruritis and nausea ( n = 5, 13.5%, each), fatigue, anemia, and decreased appetite ( n = 4, 10.8%, each). No patient discontinued treatment because of adverse events. YYB101 showed dose-proportional pharmacokinetics up to 30 mg/kg. Partial response in 1 (2.5%) and stable disease in 17 (43.5%) were observed. HGF, MET, PD-L1, and ERK proteins were not significant predictors for treatment response. However, serum HGF level was significantly lowered in responders upon drug administration. RNA sequencing revealed a mesenchymal signature in two long-term responders. Conclusion: YYB101 showed favorable safety and efficacy in patients with refractory solid tumors. Based on this phase I trial, a phase II study on the YYB101 + irinotecan combination in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer patients is planned. Conclusion: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02499224

Abstract BACKGROUND High-grade gliomas (HGG) are characterized by dysregulated metabolism, utilizing glycolysis for energy production to support unrestricted growth. BPM 31510, an ubidecarenone (coenzyme Q10) containing lipid nanodispersion, causes a switch in cancer energy sourcing from glycolysis towards mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in vitro, reversing the Warburg effect and suggesting potential as an anti-tumor agent. The current study is a phase I study of BPM31510 + vitamin K in GB with tumor growth after bevacizumab (BEV). METHODS This is an open-label phase I study of BPM31510 continuous infusion with weekly vitamin K (10mg IM) in HGG patients using an mTPI design, starting at 110mg/kg, allowing for a single dose de-escalation and 2 dose-escalations. Patients had received first-line ChemoRadiation and were in recurrence following a BEV containing regimen. RESULTS 9 eligible and evaluable patients completed the 28 day DLT period. 8 patients had primary GB, 1 had anaplastic astrocytoma with confirmed pathologic transformation to GB. Median age was 55 years (27–67) and median KPS 70 (60–90) at enrollment. 4 patients were treated at the highest dose 171mg/kg, where there was a single DLT: Grade 3 AST & ALT. The most common grade 1–2 AEs possibly, probably or definitely related to drug were elevated AST, rash, and fatigue, each occurring in 3 patients. Median OS for 9 eligible/evaluable patients was 128 days (95% CI: 48–209) while PFS was 34 days (CI of mean 8.9). 3 patients are currently alive; 2 patients have survived >1 year. PK/PD data are being processed and will be presented. CONCLUSION This study confirms that BPM 31510 + vitamin K is safe and feasible in treatment-refractory HGG patients. Though this study demonstrates safety at 171mg/kg, the proposed dose for future studies in GB, based on additional pre-clinical and non-GB clinical data is 88mg/kg.

Abstract Background: IMGN901 (huN901-DM1) is a novel conjugate of the cytotoxic maytansinoid, DM1, with the humanized CD56-binding monoclonal antibody, N901. Once bound to CD56 on a cancer cell, the conjugate is internalized and releases DM1. About 70% of multiple myeloma (MM) cases have surface expression of CD56. Preclinical investigations demonstrated significant in vitro and in vivo anti-myeloma activity of IMGN901. Objectives: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and pharmacokinetics (PK) of increasing doses of IMGN901 given for MM on a weekly schedule. Methods: Patients with relapsed or relapsed/refractory MM who have failed at least one prior therapy and have CD56-expressing MM received a single IV infusion of IMGN901 on 2 consecutive weeks every 3 weeks. Patients are enrolled in cohorts of 3 at each dose level, with DLT triggering cohort expansion. Results: Eighteen patients have received IMGN901 to date in this study - 3 patients each at 40, 60, 75, 90, 112, and 140 mg/m2/week. One patient experienced a DLT (grade 3 fatigue) on 140 mg/m2/week, and this cohort is being expanded to enroll up to 6 patients. No patients have experienced serious hypersensitivity reactions or evidence of presence of humoral responses against the huN901 antibody component (HAHA) or against the DM1 component (HADA). Preliminary PK results indicate an approximately linear relationship between dosing and observed maximal serum concentration. A confirmed minor response (MR) was documented in 3 heavily pretreated patients (1 patient each at 60, 90, and 112 mg/m2/week) using the European Bone Marrow Transplant criteria. Durable stable disease was reported at doses of 60, 90, 112, and 140 mg/m2/week. Of the 18 patients treated in the study, eight patients remained on treatment with IMGN901 for at least 15 weeks, five of these 8 patients remained on treatment for at least 24 weeks, and two of these 5 patients remained on treatment for at least 42 weeks. This phase I study provides preliminary evidence of safety as well as clinical activity of IMGN901 in patients with CD56-positive MM who have failed established MM treatments. Updated results of this ongoing study will be presented.

2553 Background: DMS612 is a dimethane sulfonate compound that was identified as preferentially cytotoxic to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines in a chemical screen of the NCI-60 panel. DMS612 has bifunctional alkylating activity in vitro. Objectives of this first-in-human phase I study included determining the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), PK and PD of DMS612 administered by 10 minute intravenous infusion on day 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle. Methods: Eligibility criteria included adults with advanced solid malignancies or lymphoma with ECOG performance status 0-2, life expectancy > 3 months and adequate organ and marrow function. Patients were enrolled using a standard “3+3” dose escalation scheme. Plasma PK of DMS612 and metabolites was assessed by LC-MS/MS. DNA damage PD was assessed by γ-H2AX immunofluorescence. Results: 35 subjects were enrolled (22 male, 13 female) with median age 59 years (41-75). Tumor types included colorectal (8), RCC (4), cervix (2), and urothelial (2). Doses administered were 1.5, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12 mg/m2. The MTD was determined to be 9 mg/m2, with only one DLT of grade 4 thrombocytopenia in 12 subjects enrolled. The maximum administered dose of 12 mg/m2 was considered to be intolerable after 1 of 3 subjects had grade 4 neutropenia and 1 had prolonged grade 3 thrombocytopenia. Prolonged thrombocytopenia in later cycles was observed in other subjects, including one patient naïve to prior cytotoxic chemotherapy. One subject with RCC had a confirmed partial response at 7 mg/m2. DMS612 was rapidly converted into carboxy, chloroethyl and hydroxyethyl analogues and their glucuronides, some of which retained alkylating activity in vitro. Dose-dependent pharmacodynamic evidence of DNA damage induced by DMS612 in vivo was observed by γ-H2AX immunofluorescance in both peripheral blood lymphocytes and plucked scalp hairs. Conclusions: The MTD of DMS12 administered by intravenous infusion on day 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle was 9 mg/m2. Pre-clinical and clinical observations suggest that further study of DMS612 in RCC is warranted.
