Purpose Dasatinib is an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor with low nanomolar activity against SRC family kinases, BCR-ABL, c-KIT, EPHA2, and the PDGF-β receptor. Dasatinib was found to have selective activity in several tumor models in the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program. Patients and Methods A phase I study of dasatinib in pediatric patients with refractory solid tumors or imatinib-refractory, Philadelphia chromosome–positive leukemia was performed. Dose levels of 50, 65, 85, and 110 mg/m2/dose, administered orally twice daily for 28 days, with courses repeated without interruption, were studied. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed with the initial dose. Results A total of 39 patients (solid tumors, n = 28; chronic myeloid leukemia [CML], n = 9; acute lymphoblastic leukemia, n = 2) were enrolled. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed at the 50, 65, and 85 mg/m2 dose levels. At 110 mg/m2, two of six patients experienced DLT including grade 2 diarrhea and headache. In children with leukemia, grade 4 hypokalemia (50 mg/m2), grade 3 diarrhea (85 mg/m2), and grade 2 creatinine elevation (50 mg/m2) were observed. DLT in later courses included pleural effusions, hemangiomatosis, and GI hemorrhage. There were three complete cytogenetic responses, three partial cytogenetic responses, and two partial/minimal cytogenetic responses observed in evaluable patients with CML. Conclusion Overall, drug disposition and tolerability of dasatinib were similar to those observed in adult patients.

10012 Background: Sorafenib, an oral multitargeted kinase inhibitor, is indicated for treatment of adults with refractory renal cell or hepatocelluar carcinoma. We performed a phase I trial to determine the toxicities, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of sorafenib in children with refractory solid tumors. Methods: Sorafenib was administered q12h for 28 consecutive day cycles. Cohorts of 3–12 patients were enrolled at 105, 130, 150, 200, and 250 mg/m2/dose dose levels. Results: 34 eligible pts [16M, median age 14.6 yrs, (range, 5–21)] with osteosarcoma (n = 8), rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 3), other sarcomas (n = 13), hepatoblastoma (n = 3), or other solid tumors (n = 7) received 1–22 cycles (median 2). Grade 3 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred in 4/6 pts at the starting dose (150 mg/m2) and included hypertension (n = 1), rash/urticaria (n = 1), back pain (n = 1), thrombocytopenia (n = 1) and ALT/AST (n = 1). No DLTs were observed at 105 (n = 6) or 130 (n = 3) mg/m2, and the dose was re-escalated to 150 mg/m2 with modified eligibility criteria (normal ALT) and revised guidelines for grading and management of hypertension. Gr 3 DLTs occurred in 1/6 pts (lipase) at 150 mg/m2 and 2/2 pts (hyponatremia, hand-foot syndrome) at 250 mg/m2. At 200 mg/m2 only 1/6 pts experienced DLT (gr 3 ALT). No objective responses were observed, but 2 pts had tumor shrinkage. Sorafenib AUC did not increase proportionally with dose - the mean AUC0–24h was similar at 150 mg/m2 (28±24 μg · h/mL, n = 9) and 200 mg/m2 (28±17 μg · h/mL, n = 4). Tmax was prolonged and variable (10±11 h, n = 19). Plasma VEGFR (n = 13) decreased from 9.9±1.6 ng/mL at baseline to 8.3±1.7 ng/mL by d 28 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The MTD of sorafenib in children with solid tumors is 200 mg/m2, similar to the adult recommended dose (400 mg). No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Relapsed/refractory leukemia in childhood carries a grave prognosis. Dasatinib (SPRYCEL®) is a potent oral kinase inhibitor of BCR-ABL, KIT, and SRC kinases. Dasatinib is approved for adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+) CML and ALL, resistant or intolerant to prior imatinib therapy. An investigational phase I dose- finding study of dasatinib treatment of patients aged 1–21 years with various leukemia subtypes is currently being conducted in 12 European centers. The aim of the study is to establish a safe and effective dose for each of the leukemia sub-types. Patients were stratified into three treatment groups - Stratum 1: CML in chronic phase, resistant or intolerant to imatinib; Stratum 2/3: advanced-phase CML resistant or intolerant to imatinib, Ph(+) ALL, relapsed/ refractory after imatinib, or Ph(+) AML, ≥ 2nd relapse; Stratum 4: Ph(−) ALL, or Ph(−) AML in second/subsequent relapse. The starting dose was 60mg/m2 once daily for all strata. Intra-patient dose escalation was allowed for lack of initial response and dose reductions for toxicity. Current data reflect the first 41 patients (median age 11 years, range 1–21) treated from March 2006 through May 2008, including eight in Stratum 1, twelve in Stratum 2/3, and twenty-one in Stratum 4. The patients were heavily pretreated and prior therapy included chemotherapy (n=35), imatinib (n=20), and stem cell transplant (n=24). Dasatinib was well tolerated up to the current 120mg/m2 dose. Treatment-related toxicities were mostly mild to moderate in severity with nausea (34% grade 1/2; 2% grade 3/4) and diarrhea (15% grade 1/2; 0% grade 3/4) occurring most frequently. In Stratum 4, two dose-limiting toxicities were seen: anaphylaxis 5 hours after the first dose (60mg/m2) and upper-GI bleed on Day 6 of dasatinib dosing (120mg/ m2). Only one of the 41 patients experienced a malignant/hemorrhagic pleural effusion at 100mg/m2 dose. A maximum tolerated dose has not been established. PK studies were performed on samples from 32 patients after 60 mg/m2, 80 mg/m2 and 100 mg/m2 dosing. Absorption occurred rapidly (median Tmax 0.75 – 1.0 hour). The area under the curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) proportionately increased with higher dose levels, but the difference was much greater between 60 and 80 mg/m2 than between 80 and 100 mg/m2. Complete Hematological Response (CHR) occurred in 75% of patients with CML-CP. Major Hematological Response (MaHR) was achieved in 25% of patients with advanced CML/Ph(+) and Ph(+) ALL/ AML. Major Cytogenetic Response occurred in 88% of CML-CP patients and 50% of patients with advanced Ph(+) CML and Ph(+) ALL/ AML. Stratum 4 observations included a temporary decrease in peripheral blood (PB) blast count in one Ph(−) ALL patient and in PB and bone marrow (BM) blast counts in two Ph(−) AML patients (one with AML7 and one with Down’s syndrome). Additionally, three Ph(+) ALL patients had a CSF response. These interim data demonstrate a favorable safety profile for dasatinib. Clear efficacy was seen in patients with CML-CP, and other Ph(+) leukemias. Further exploration is needed in the Ph(−) leukemias in the pediatric population. Updated data will be presented.

Abstract Abstract 3567 Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder, responsive to frontline standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy. However, the prognosis of patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory ALL is extremely poor. Deregulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal transduction pathway is central to leukemic cell growth, proliferation and survival, and has been implicated in ALL pathogenesis. In a recent phase II study of pts with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, single agent mTOR inhibitor everolimus showed ORR 30% and acceptable toxicity in 77 heavily pretreated pts (Witzig TE et al, Leukemia 2011; 25,341–7). The purpose of this study was to establish the safety and efficacy of everolimus in combination with hyper-CVAD in pts with relapsed/refractory ALL, and to study effects of everolimus on AKT/mTOR signaling in ALL blasts. Methods: In this single center phase I/II study, pts aged 10 years or older with relapsed/refractory ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma were treated with oral everolimus at a daily dose of 5 mg or 10 mg in combination with the standard hyper-CVAD regimen (Kantarjian HM et al, J Clin Oncol. 2000 Feb;18(3):547–61) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoints were to establish safety (after 2 cycles) and efficacy. Secondary endpoints included assessments of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Results: Twelve pts have been enrolled and are evaluable for response. Median was age 24 years (range, 11–59). Five pts had T-ALL and 7 had Philadelphia chromosome negative precursor-B-ALL. Median number of prior treatments was 2 (range, 1–4); 5 pts were 1st salvage attempts. Three pts received everolimus 5 mg/day and 9 were treated with 10 mg/day continuously in combination with hyper-CVAD. Median number of cycles given was 2 (range, 1–4). Median follow-up was 12 months (range, 7–23). Three pts achieved CR (all were 1st salvage attempts) and 1 patient had CRi (second salvage); 2 pts achieved PR. No responses were seen beyond second salvage. Of the 9 pts completing 2 cycles, both EFS and OS were not reached for 3 pts in the 1st salvage, and were 8.5 weeks and 18.5 weeks respectively for pts in second salvage and beyond (P=.01 and P=0.04). Of the 12 pts (including 3 only treated with one cycle), both EFS and OS were not reached for 3 pts in the 1st salvage, and were 10 weeks and 18 weeks respectively for pts in second salvage and beyond (P=0.17 and P=0.05). Treatment-related toxicities in the 9 pts evaluable for MTD (completed 2 cycles) included 3 episodes of grade 3 mucositis, which was a dose-limiting toxicity, 3 episodes of grade 4 infections (sepsis) and 9 episodes of grade 3 infections (neutropenic fever, pneumonia, bacteremia). There was no deaths on-study. Inhibition of mTOR signaling (p-pS6K) was observed in 5 of 8 (62%) patient samples tested, at both the 5 and 10 mg dose levels, suggesting that 5 mg is sufficient to block the pathway. Lack of inhibition of p-pEBP1 and pAKT argues for potential benefit of second generation mTOR inhibitors or dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors. Conclusions: We conclude that administration of hyper-CVAD plus everolimus is well-tolerated. The study warrants further investigation of next generation mTOR inhibitors in combination with hyper-CVAD for ALL in relapsed and frontline settings.

5545 Background: EGFR is highly expressed in SCCHN, representing a promising therapeutic target. Erlotinib (E) is an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor that may potentiate the efficacy of concurrent radiation (RT) and docetaxel (D). We sought to establish the MTD, toxicities and preliminary efficacy of the combination of RT, D and E in patients (pts) with SCCHN. Methods: Patients with previously untreated stage III-IVB SCCHN were enrolled in a phase I dose-escalating study with standard once-daily RT (70.2 Gy, 1.8 Gy/day), weekly D for the duration of RT and daily E for two weeks prior, during and up to two years following RT. 4 dose levels (DL) were evaluated [D (mg/m2)/E (mg): 15/50, 15/100, 20/100, 20/150]. A 3+3 escalation design was followed. Pharmacokinetic studies (PK) were performed. Results: A total of 23 patients were enrolled (6 pts at each DL 1–3, 5 pts at DL4). Primary site: oral cavity (n = 1), pharynx (n = 15) and larynx (n = 7). 20 patients (87%) had stage IV disease. Three dose-limiting toxicities were observed, 1 at each DL (1–3), including a death within 30 days from last treatment (DL1), grade 3 mucositis resulting in holding RT (>5 days) (DL2) and grade 4 mucositis (DL3). No DLT to date on DL4 with 3/5 pts evaluable. In patients enrolled at DL 1–3 (n = 18), post concurrent chemoRT, best response was CR (n = 15), not evaluable (n = 2), death on study (n = 1). 3/3 pts who underwent planned neck dissection had a pathologic CR. 9 patients are currently receiving adjuvant E and 1 has completed the 2-year course. 3 patients have relapsed. Interpatient variability of E peak plasma concentrations measured after the first dose was observed at all dose levels: 458 ± 173 ng/mL (DL1), 686 ± 364 (DL2), 1017 ± 241 (DL3), 833 ± 222 (DL4) (mean ± s.d., n = 6, 6, 6, 2 at DL1–4 respectively). Adjuvant erlotinib plasma concentration data will be presented separately. No significant PK interaction of erlotinib with docetaxel was noted. Conclusions: The combination of daily erlotinib with weekly docetaxel and RT for pts with stage III-IVB SCCHN is feasible and active. A phase II trial is planned. Supported in part by NIH grants nos. CA62502 and M01 RR-000080. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

4122 Background: The VEGF pathway is the predominant mediator of angiogenesis in pancreatic cancer. Vatalanib (PTK787/ZK 222584) is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of all known VEGF receptors. We initiated a phase I study of vatalanib and gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma were enrolled. Previous adjuvant chemoradiotherapy with fluorouracil was allowed. Gemcitabine was given by fixed-dose rate infusion weekly x 3 in a 28-day cycle, and vatalanib was given orally daily. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) are defined as any grade 3/4 toxicity during the first cycle. The dose levels are as follows: Results: To date, 11 patients are evaluable for toxicity (5M/6F; median age 62 years, range 40–82 years; median KPS 90%). Thus far, 42 cycles have been given, with a median of four cycles per patient. Two patients have experienced DLT. The first patient (cohort 1) experienced grade 3 diarrhea and hypokalemia and grade 4 neutropenia occurring simultaneously and treated without sequelae. The second patient (cohort 3) developed grade 3 deep vein thrombosis. Beyond the first cycle, grade 3 toxicities included neutropenia (1), anemia (3), thrombocytopenia (1), hypertension (2), diarrhea (1), hypokalemia (1), thrombosis (1), and proteinuria (1). Three of eleven patients (27%) did not complete treatment to the first evaluation timepoint (2 cycles); two discontinued due to toxicity and one discontinued due to disease progression. Two of eleven patients (18%) had a partial response by RECIST. Six of eleven patients (55%) had stable disease as the best response ranging from 2–6 months. Conclusions: The combination of gemcitabine and vatalanib is generally well-tolerated with most grade 3/4 toxicities occurring late in the treatment course. Antitumor responses have been observed at initial dose levels and accrual to the final cohort with BID dosing of vatalanib continues.

3592 Background: Sunitinib malate (SU) is an oral, multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFRs, PDGFRs, KIT, RET, and FLT3, approved internationally for the treatment of advanced RCC and imatinib-resistant or -intolerant GIST. This phase I study assesses the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of SU in combination with capecitabine (C). Methods: Pts with advanced solid tumors not amenable to curative therapy, previously treated with =2 prior chemotherapy regimens, and ECOG PS =1 were eligible. Prior antiangiogenic therapy was not permitted. Three SU schedules were evaluated: 4 wks on treatment followed by 2 wks off in 6-wk cycles (4/2 schedule); 2 wks on followed by 1 wk off in 3-wk cycles (2/1 schedule), and continuous dosing (CD schedule). In all cases C was administered orally bid on days 1–14. SU and C doses were alternately escalated in serial pt cohorts to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SU for all schedules using a standard 3 + 3 design. PK and antitumor efficacy were also assessed. Results: A total of 50 pts have been enrolled; 28 pts have been treated on the 4/2 schedule: SU 50 mg + C 1,000 mg/m2, and SU 37.5 mg + C 1,250 mg/m2 were not tolerated. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) included: grade 3 myalgia (n=1), grade 3 fatigue (n=2), and grade 3 hand- foot syndrome (n=2). The MTD for the 4/2 schedule was SU 37.5 mg/day + C 1,000 mg/m2. No DLTs nor dose reductions were observed among 9 pts treated at the MTD. Preliminary PK data do not indicate drug-drug interactions between SU and C. 3 pts (1 each with breast cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, and thyroid carcinoma) achieved confirmed partial responses. On the 2/1 schedule patients are being accrued to SU 37.5 or 50 mg + C 1,000 mg/m2 and doses of SU 37.5 mg + C 1,000 mg/m2 or SU 25 mg + C 1,250 mg/m2 are being explored on the CD schedule. Conclusions: The combination of SU 37.5 mg/day (4/2 schedule) with C 1,000 mg/m2 in pts with advanced solid tumors appears tolerable. SU may be administered in combination with C with no apparent drug-drug interaction. Subsequent cohorts will define the MTD of SU administered on the 2/1 and CD schedules. Further studies of this combination in breast cancer are warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

7549 Background: BOS is approved for newly diagnosed CP CML and CML resistant/intolerant to prior therapy. In a phase I/II study, BOS showed durable efficacy and manageable toxicity in patients (pts) with CP CML after IMA failure. We report an ≥8-y update of this phase I/II and ongoing extension study. Methods: Pts with CP CML resistant/intolerant to IMA (CP2L) or IMA + dasatinib and/or nilotinib (CP3L) or with accelerated/blast phase (AP/BP) CML or Philadelphia chromosome+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia with prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy (ADV) received BOS starting at 500 mg/d. Results: 54/284 (19%) CP2L pts were still on BOS after ≥9 y and 8/119 (7%) CP3L and 5/167 (3%) ADV pts after ≥8 y; 61 CP2L pts discontinued BOS since y 5 and 21 CP3L and 12 ADV pts since y 4. Overall, the most common reason for discontinuation was disease progression/lack of efficacy in CP2L (27%), CP3L (42%) and ADV (50%) pts; last dose before discontinuation was ≥500 mg/d in 59 (21%), 28 (24%) and 46 (28%) pts, respectively. In CP2L pts, median (range) of follow-up was 54 (1–155) mo, treatment duration 26 (<1–155) mo and dose intensity 438 (87–599) mg/d; responses were durable (Table) and overall survival (OS) at 9 y was 74% vs 84% at 5 y. OS at 8 y was 69% in CP3L, 54% in AP CML and 23% in BP CML pts vs 78%, 59% and 23% at 4 y. 55 CP2L, 29 CP3L and 98 ADV pts died on study (10, 3 and 2 since the 4/5-y reports); 15, 5 and 3 had on-treatment transformations to AP/BP. Most common new treatment-emergent adverse events since y 5 in CP2L pts were pleural effusion (n=13), arthralgia (n=12) and increased blood creatinine (n=11). Conclusions: After ≥8 y, BOS continued to show durable efficacy and no new safety signals in pts with CP CML on long-term treatment, providing further support for BOS use after prior TKIs.

9017 Background: Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) that has demonstrated significant growth inhibition in several pre-clinical models of pediatric solid tumors. However, the agent has never been tested in pediatric patients. Methods: A phase I dose escalation study in children with refractory solid tumors was conducted to define the dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), and to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and recommended phase II dose of bevacizumab administered by IV infusion every 2 weeks in 28-day cycles. Cohorts were enrolled at dose levels of 5, 10, and 15 mg/kg; the final dose level was expanded to include at least 3 children <6 years of age. Serial blood samples were collected for PK, plasma VEGF concentration, and circulating mature and progenitor endothelial cells (CECs/CEPs). Results: 20 patients (10 male), median age 13 yrs (range 1–21), were enrolled at dose levels 5 (n=3), 10 (n=3), and 15 (n=14) mg/kg. 18 patients were fully evaluable for toxicity (one withdrew consent prior to treatment and the second was removed for rapid disease progression). A total of 67 cycles were administered with a median of 3 per patient (range 1–16). Treatment was well tolerated and no DLTs were observed. Only one grade 3 toxicity, lymphopenia, was attributed to drug. Non-dose limiting, grade 1–2 toxicities included infusional reaction (n=3), rash (n=3), mucositis (n=2), and proteinuria (n=3). There was no hypertension, hemorrhage or thrombosis reported. There were no partial or complete responses; 3 pts with Ewings and 2 pts with soft tissue sarcoma had disease stabilization for > 3 months. The serum exposure to bevacizumab as measured by AUC appeared to increase in proportion to dose. The median clearance of bevacizumab was 4.1 ml/day/kg (range 3.2–15.9), and the median T1/2 was 11.8 days (range 3.9–14.6). In some patients, a rapid rate of rise in plasma VEGF, increase in mature CECs or decrease in CEPs was observed. Conclusion: Bevacizumab at doses up to 15mg/kg every two weeks is well tolerated in children with solid tumors. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

2511 Background: PM02734 is a chemically synthesized depsipeptide with a broad spectrum of activity against solid tumors in vitro (breast, colon, lung, neuroblastoma, prostate, sarcoma and thyroid) and in vivo (breast, prostate, melanoma); as well as an acceptable non-clinical toxicology profile. Methods: Patients (pts) with metastatic or advanced solid tumors were enrolled in a phase I, open-label, dose-escalating study to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and to identify the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended dose (RD) of PM02734 infused over 24 hours every 21 days (d). The starting dose was 0.48 mg/m2. Cohorts of 1–6 pts were treated at different dose levels. Results: Thirty seven pts were treated in this study. The median age was 55 years (40–75), sex: males/females 20/19. The median PS was 1 (range 0–2). The most frequent cancer types were colon/ gastric/ sarcoma (n=8/5/5). Most patients were heavily pretreated, with a median of prior therapy lines of 4 (1–12). Patients were treated at 8 dose levels (0.48, 0.72, 1.0, 1.6, 2.4, 3.6, 5.4, and 6.8 mg/m2), the MTD was 6.8 mg/m2 and the RD was 5.4 mg/m2 (10 mg flat dose).Common toxicities grade ≤ 2 included asthenia, nausea/emesis, lymphopenia, injection site reactions and asymptomatic elevated transaminases (TAs). DLT were grade 3 asymptomatic, reversible TA elevations at 6.8 mg/m2. Preliminary PK data is characterized by long half life (>100 h), a wide distribution and high inter-patient variability. Clearance was not correlated with dose or body surface area (BSA), therefore, flat dose was implemented and the RD was explored with this schedule. Efficacy data showed one complete response (CR) of +28 months observed in a pt with metastatic large cell esophageal carcinoma, and five more showed stable disease (SD) for more than 3 months in different histologies. Conclusions: PM02734 shows to be safe, well tolerated and with evidence of activity (1 CR and 5 SD > 3 months) in pts with advanced solid tumors. The DLT was grade 3 asymptomatic and reversible TA elevations, and the RD for further phase II studies is 10 mg. [Table: see text]

3088^ Background: Dovitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with demonstrated inhibitory activity against FGFRs, VEGFRs, and PDGFRs in vivo. Based on responses observed in renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, AML, melanoma, and multiple myeloma in clinical studies in the West, we investigated dovitinib in Japanese patients (pts). Methods: This multicenter phase I study determined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of dovitinib based on the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in Japanese pts with advanced solid tumors. Following a 2-day pharmacokinetic (PK) run-in period, dovitinib was administered orally once daily on a 5-days-on/2-days-off schedule in 28-day cycles until disease progression or withdrawal. The planned dose range was 100-600 mg/day. A 2-parameter Bayesian logistic regression model based on the principle of escalation with overdose control was used to estimate the MTD. Results: In total, 28 pts received dovitinib: 100 mg (n = 3), 200 mg (n = 3), 300 mg (n = 7), 400 mg (n = 9), and 500 mg (n = 6). The median age was 58.5 years (range, 30-76); 16 of 28 pts (57%) were male. All pts had stage IV disease, with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Pts completed a median of 3 cycles. One pt is currently ongoing in the study (peritoneal adenocarcinoma, 400-mg cohort, cycle 19), 23 discontinued due to disease progression, and 4 discontinued due to adverse events (AEs). All DLTs were grade 3: anorexia (n = 1; 300 mg), nausea/vomiting (n = 1; 400 mg), liver function disorder (n = 1; 400 mg), and increased alanine transaminase (n = 1; 500 mg). The most common grade 3/4 AEs (occurring in >10% of pts) suspected to be related to study drug were lymphopenia (18%), neutropenia (14%), abnormal hepatic function (14%), decreased white blood cell count (14%), decreased appetite (14%), and hypertension (14%). Best responses were confirmed partial response in 1 pt (4%; peritoneal adenocarcinoma, 400-mg cohort), stable disease in 9 pts (32%), and progressive disease in 10 pts (36%). No treatment-related deaths have been reported. Safety and PK parameters were comparable to those of non-Japanese pts in the global study. Conclusions: The study has completed enrollment. Dovitinib was found to be tolerable at doses up to 500 mg, which was declared as the MTD in Japanese pts.
