2529 Background: 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) is administered in combination with leucovorin (LV) to enhance clinical activity. However, simultaneous administration is not feasible as 5FU and LV are chemically incompatible, so the maximum possible interaction for benefit is not achieved Deflexifol, an all in one formulation of 5FU/LV with cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD 100mg/ml, 5-FU 15mg/ml & LV 1mg/ml) at physiological pH, was developed to improve efficacy and tolerance. Methods: A phase I dose-escalation trial to assess the safety, tolerability, MTD and DLT of Deflexifol given in two schedules has been completed. Secondary objectives included the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and efficacy outcomes. Cohorts of patients with advanced malignancy after failure of standard treatment received Deflexifol as 46-h infusion Q2W or bolus weekly x6 in a standard 3+3 phase I design with no intra-patient dose escalation from dose level 1: 375mg/m² bolus or 1200mg/m² infusional up to dose level 5: 575mg/m² bolus or 3600mg/m² infusional. PK sampling of 5FU and dihydroFU was conducted on all patients to assess PK variability and adequacy of dosing. Results: 40 patients (21 infusional, 19 bolus) with breast (7), colorectal (24), other GI (6) & NSCLC (3) received a total 293 courses of treatment. No > grade 1 toxicity was noted at 375-475 mg/m2 bolus, or at 1200-2400 mg/m2 infusion. The DLT in bolus schedule was grade 3 diarrhea and myelosuppression at 575 mg/m2, with no DLT in the infusion schedule at the maximum dose 3600 mg/m2. The MTD have been established for both treatment arms: bolus 525mg/m²; 46-h infusion 3,600mg/m², with no grade IV toxicity observed. Other grade 3 toxicities were nausea, vomiting, and raised liver function tests. 5FU PK in this mixture is similar to 5FU alone. Encouraging efficacy results were seen with partial response in 1 patient and stable disease in 23 patients. Median PFS was (12.3 wks) and OS was (24.8 wks). Conclusions: Deflexifol has little toxicity and is effective in bolus and infusion schedules at doses equal to or greater than those feasible with 5FU and LV infused separately. A first-line phase II study in combination with oxaliplatin is planned. Clinical trial information: 044867.

TPS812 Background: 5FU is a commonly used anti-cancer agent first synthesized in 1957, and is now most commonly used in combination with FA, which enhances its clinical activity. Physical incompatibilities between 5FU and LV necessitate the infusion of each component separately, often through a central line due to high pH; resulting in adverse events, which leads to poor outcomes due to treatment interruption and discontinuation. A novel all in one reformulation of 5FU/LV at physiological pH has been developed as an alternative to serial administration of 5FU and LV in a high Ph solution [Locke JM, Anticancer Drugs 2009]. Preclinical testing demonstrated that the reformulation is stable bioequivalent to 5FU with reduced side effects [Stutchbury TK, Anticancer drugs 2011]. Methods: An open label phase 1 dose escalation study is underway in 2 schedules (bolus and infusion) to assess the safety and tolerability in patients with advanced malignancy after failure of standard treatment (including fluoropyrimidine regimens). To determine the maximum tolerated dose defined as: 2 out of 6 patients experience DLTs dose escalation is halted and declared DLT Dose. The previous dose level will be considered for expansion to x6 patients to confirm Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). Also to determine pharmacokinetic profile. Patients enrolled in Cohorts 1 to 4, have been completed without DLT. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as: Any Grade 3 or 4 non-haematologic toxicity (CTACE criteria). Patients developing Grade 3 or 4 diarrhoea, failing maximal anti-diarrheal medications. Febrile neutropenia, Grade 4 neutropenia > 7 days, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia > 7 days Any grade of thrombocytopenia associated with bleeding. Currently proceeding with (bolus 575mg/m2 weekly x 6, infusion 3600mg/m2/46h q2W). Limited sampling PK of 5-FU and dihydoFU is being conducted (3 at each of the 5 dose levels, doses 1 and 6). In both schedules to assess PK variability, adequacy of dosing in comparison to previous reports. The incidence of AEs and SAEs (CTACE 4.03) will be summarized by severity and relationship to study treatment. Clinical trial information: 044867.

e13532 Background: D2C7 immunotoxin (D2C7-IT) is a dual-specific recombinant immunotoxin consisting of EGFR-wt and EGFRvIII monoclonal antibodies with a genetically engineered Pseudomonas exotoxin, PE-38KDEL. The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of D2C7-IT when delivered intratumorally by convection enhanced delivery (CED). Methods: Inclusion criteria includes subjects with a single, recurrent supratentorial WHO grade III or IV glioma, KPS ≥ 70 and a washout of chemotherapy, bevacizumab or study drug of ≥ 4 weeks. Prior to administration of D2C7-IT, recurrent tumor must be confirmed by histopathology. A minimum of 2 subjects are accrued by dose level. Results: Currently, 23 subjects have been treated (16 male, 7 female) with a median age of 54 years. Out of 9 dose levels, 2 subjects have been treated at every dose except for 4 at dose level 3 (120 ng/ml) and 5 at dose 6 (405ng/ml). Adverse events possibly, probably or definitely related to D2C7-IT are mostly grade 1 or 2 events consisting of, but not limited to: intracranial hemorrhage (n = 1), stroke (n = 2), headache (n = 15), seizure (n = 5), confusion (n = 4), paresthesia (n = 4), dysarthria (n = 1), dysphasia (n = 4), visual disturbances (n = 7), fatigue (n = 4), gait disturbance (n = 2), elevated transaminases (n = 5), decreased platelets (n = 3), decreased neutrophil count (n = 1), nausea (n = 3), vomiting (n = 1), and thromboembolic event (n = 1). There was 1 dose limiting toxicity (grade 4 seizure at dose level 3), 2 grade 3 headaches and 1 grade 3 elevated ALT. 14 subjects are still alive with 6 remaining on study. So far, the longest survival time from infusion is 18.2+ months. Conclusions: D2C7-IT infusion via CED is safe with encouraging results. This dose escalation Phase I study is ongoing and will set the stage for the Phase II trial. Clinical trial information: NCT02303678.

3059 Background: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes play critical roles in DNA damage detection and repair. IMP4297 is a novel, potent PARP1/2 inhibitor (IC50 6.27nM/1.57nM) and has demonstrated to be 20-fold more potent than Olaparib in anticancer animal models. Two phase I studies were performed to evaluate and characterize the tolerability and safety, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of single agent IMP4297 in Chinese and Australian patients with advanced ovarian, breast, prostate and other solid tumors. Methods: Dose escalation used a 3+3 design with a modified Fibonacci escalation. Dose cohort expansion was planned after efficacy was observed at the lowest dose level. Patients received IMP4297 monotherapy orally once a day until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: As of Jan 12, 2019, 56 patients, including 23 BRCA mutation carriers (BRCA+), had been enrolled at 2-100 mg dose level. No DLT was observed. In these two studies, the most frequent treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were leukopenia (20%), followed by anemia (18%), nausea (18%) and thrombocytopenia (14%). The majority of TRAEs were grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 TRAEs occurred in five patients (anemia, n=2; vomiting, n=1; thrombocytopenia, n=1; elevated AST, n=1). Only one patient had a dose reduction due to grade 3 thrombocytopenia. No serious TRAEs were observed. In 15 BRCA+ patients who had measurable lesions, the ORR was 33% and the DCR was 80%. There were 4 BRCA+, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients with an ORR of 75% and a DCR of 100%. One patient with somatic BRCA mutated urothelial carcinoma showed a 76% decrease in tumor size. Conclusions: IMP4297 has been well-tolerated with significant anti-tumor activity. The 100 mg daily dose was selected as the RP2D based on safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity, and will be further characterized in dose expansion and phase II studies.

8518 Background: Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) are pivotal in cell signaling and regulate a variety of cellular functions relevant to oncogenesis. IPI-145, a potent oral inhibitor of the PI3KEδ and PI3K-γ isoforms, is in clinical development for patients (pts) with hematologic malignancies. Early results in pts with relapsed/refractory lymphoma from an ongoing Phase 1 study are reported here. Methods: This dose-escalation study evaluates the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), clinical activity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IPI-145. Expansion cohorts (EC) < MTD are allowed. IPI-145 is given orally twice daily (BID) in 28-day cycles. Tumor response is based on standard disease-specific criteria. Results: 55 pts have been dosed with IPI-145. PK, available through 50 mg BID, are linear with complete inhibition of PI3K-δ at doses > 15 mg BID and increasing suppression of PI3K-γ with increasing dose. In the 36 pts with lymphoma who received 15 mg to 75 mg BID, the median [range] number of cycles was 2.4 [0.1–10] and 67% remain on study. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 50% of pts with lymphoma. Neutropenia and increased ALT were the most common ≥ Grade 3 TRAEs (4 pts each) and were not associated with increasing dose. > Grade 3 ALT elevations were more common in lymphoma pts (18%) compared to non-lymphoma pts (5%). Among evaluable pts with lymphoma (n=27), early clinical activity was observed in T-cell (n=6, 1 CR, 1 PR, 1 SD) and aggressive/indolent B-cell (n=21, 2 CR, 9 PR, 5 SD) lymphoma pts at ≤ 75 mg BID. 92% of responses were observed by 3 months. Conclusions: IPI-145 appeared well tolerated and has shown clinical activity in pts with relapsed/refractory advanced B- and T-cell lymphoma across the range of doses examined. The single agent MTD has not been determined and dose escalation continues. Updated safety and efficacy data from pts with lymphoma enrolled in dose escalation or ECs evaluating 25 mg BID and a higher dose (< MTD) of IPI-145 will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT01476657.

Abstract Phase I/II studies using either liposomal doxorubicin (D) or oral melphalan (M) in combination with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (V) have found favorable efficacy and tolerance in patients with relapsed and refractory MM. Since these drugs have different mechanisms of action and toxicity profiles, we initiated a phase I/II study to examine the safety and efficacy of combining all three agents (DMV) in relapsed or refractory myeloma. Study Aims: Starting at 25–50% of the doses used in the two drug combination studies, the objective of this dose escalation study was to evaluate the safety/tolerability of DMV until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) could be identified. Efficacy was also evaluated. Methods: Patients with relapsed/refractory MM and progressive disease requiring treatment were enrolled in the study. Dose level 1 consisted of D 10 mg/m2 and M 5 mg/m2 given IV on day 1 with V given by IV push on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Cycles were repeated every 28 days up to a maximum of 6 cycles. Dose levels of D, M, V (mg/m2) in the subsequent three cohorts were (10, 10, 0.7), (20, 10, 0.7), and (20, 10, 1.0) respectively. Once the MTD has been identified, an additional 17 patients will be enrolled at this dose level in the phase II portion of the study. Results: 5 patients (2 males, median age 65, range 33–79) have been enrolled in the study thus far. The myeloma subtypes include 2 IgG, 1 IgA, and 2 with light chains only. In this heavily pretreated population (range 2–7 prior therapies), 4 patients received prior autologous stem cell transplantation, 2 had a prior nonmyeloablative allogenic transplant, 4 prior VAD, 1 prior bortezomib, 2 prior oral melphalan, 3 prior thalidomide, 2 prior CC-5013, and 2 prior spinal radiation. The first dose cohort has been completed without any DLT. One patient had 3 days of Grade 3 neutropenia. All other toxicities were Grade 1–2 including asthenia, vomiting, thrombocytopenia, and headache. Of note, a patient with baseline Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy and on hemodialysis remained stable. A patient with Grade 2 chronic graft versus host disease also remained stable. Four patients have been enrolled at dose level one. One patient, who had progressive disease after an autologous and a nonmyeloablative allogenic transplant as well as CC5013, had a near CR (IFE+) after the second cycle of DMV. Two patients have had stable disease. One had disease progression after one cycle and subsequently died. The patient on dose level two is too early to evaluate. Conclusion: Thus far, DMV appears to be well tolerated and no DLT has been observed even in elderly patients with significant comorbidities. The finding of a near CR and SD at only dose level 1 is encouraging particularly since the patients were significantly pretreated. Dose escalation continues to determine the MTD.

Abstract The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor flavopiridol was inactive when administered as a 72-hour infusion, but a 1-hr IV bolus dosing schedule demonstrated clinical activity in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Flavopiridol induces apoptosis via a p53-independent mechanism. Thus, we hypothesized that flavopiridol may eliminate tumor cells resistant to fludarabine and rituximab. We report preliminary results of an ongoing phase I dose escalation study of flavopiridol in combination with fludarabine and rituximab in patients (pts) with MCL, CLL and other indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Pts had adequate marrow function (ANC ≥ 1500, hemoglobin ≥ 9.0, platelets ≥ 100,000), organ function, and performance status (ECOG 0–2) and provided informed consent. Pts in all cohorts received fludarabine 25 mg/m2 IV on days 1–5 and rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1 of each 28-day cycle. The planned dose escalation of flavopiridol was 50 mg/m2 by 1-hr IV bolus on day 1 (cohort 1), days 1–2 (cohort 2), or days 1–3 (cohort 3) of each cycle. Treatment was for up to 6 cycles, and pts were placed on prophylactic Bactrim and Valtrex. Fifteen pts have been enrolled to date, and 9 pts are evaluable for toxicity and response. Median age of these 9 pts was 67 years (range, 43–72), and 4 pts were male. Pts had the following diagnoses: CLL (5), MCL (2) and follicular lymphoma (FL; 2). Four pts had received 1–2 prior therapies; 5 pts were previously untreated. CLL pts had Rai stage III/IV disease (2) or required treatment for Rai stage I/II disease (3) by NCI 96 criteria. MCL/FL pts were stage III/IV (3) or had progressive stage II disease (1). Three pts were treated in cohort 1; 2 pts completed 6 cycles, but 1 pt was removed from study after cycle 3 due to prolonged cytopenias. Six pts were treated in cohort 2. Two pts developed dose-limiting toxicity; 1 pt developed grade 3 confusion and grade 3 generalized seizures during cycle 2, and 1 pt developed nausea and diarrhea, which resulted in grade 3 acute renal failure. Infectious toxicity was limited to 1 pt who was hospitalized for 48 hrs with a grade 3 upper respiratory infection and febrile neutropenia. Three pts in cohort 2 were removed from study for prolonged cytopenias after 3, 3 and 4 cycles; only 1 pt in cohort 2 completed 6 cycles. Two of the 6 pts in cohort 2 did not receive flavopiridol after cycles 2 and 3, due to life threatening tumor lysis in our single agent flavopiridol study. Response was graded by NCI 96 criteria (CLL) or IWG criteria (MCL/FL). Overall response rate (ORR) was 100%; 7 pts (78%) achieved CR, and 2 pts achieved PR (22%). Two pts relapsed after 7 and 8 months; 7 pts remain in remission a median of 9 (range,7–12) months after therapy. Of note, all 4 MCL/FL pts remain in CR. An ongoing expansion of 12 pts at the cohort 1 dose level is being conducted, to better define toxicity and efficacy; 6 pts have been enrolled to date. In conclusion, flavopiridol, fludarabine and rituximab exhibited significant clinical activity in a small group of pts, with a 78% CR rate. This combination warrants further study, particularly with consideration to an altered flavopiridol schedule using our highly active 30-minute bolus followed by 4-hour infusion regimen.

Purpose The clinical activity observed in a phase I dose-escalation study of concurrent therapy with nivolumab (NIVO) and ipilimumab (IPI) in patients with previously treated or untreated advanced melanoma led to subsequent clinical development, including randomized trials. Here, we report long-term follow-up data from study CA209-004, including 3-year overall survival (OS). Patients and Methods Concurrent cohorts 1, 2, 2a, and 3 received escalating doses of NIVO plus IPI once every 3 weeks for four doses, followed by NIVO once every 3 weeks for four doses, then NIVO plus IPI once every 12 weeks for eight doses. An expansion cohort (cohort 8) received concurrent NIVO 1 mg/kg plus IPI 3 mg/kg once every 3 weeks for four doses, followed by NIVO 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks, which is the dose and schedule used in phase II and III studies and now approved for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Results Among all concurrent cohorts (N = 94) at a follow-up of 30.3 to 55.0 months, the 3-year OS rate was 63% and median OS had not been reached. Objective response rate by modified WHO criteria was 42%, and median duration of response was 22.3 months. Incidence of grade 3 and 4 treatment-related adverse events was 59%. The most common grade 3 and 4 treatment-related adverse events were increases in lipase (15%), alanine aminotransferase (12%), and aspartate aminotransferase (11%). One treatment-related death (1.1%) occurred in a patient who had multiorgan failure 70 days after the last dose of NIVO plus IPI. Conclusion This is the longest follow-up for NIVO plus IPI combination therapy in patients with advanced melanoma. The 3-year OS rate of 63% is the highest observed for this patient population and provides additional evidence for the durable clinical activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of advanced melanoma.

Abstract Introduction: The δ isoform of PI3K is highly expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin. The γ isoform is associated with T-lymphocytes and neutrophils and plays a distinct role in T-cell function. Since δ/γ isoforms are synergistic in the growth and survival of certain T-cell malignancies, dual targeting of PI3K δ/γ is an attractive intervention strategy in patients with T-cell lymphoma. RP6530 is a novel, highly specific dual PI3K δ/γ inhibitor with nanomolar inhibitory potency for both isotypes. It has shown acceptable safety profile and efficacy in patients (pts) with advanced hematologic malignancies in a Phase 1 study (ASH 2015). Herein, we present the preliminary results from an ongoing Phase 1/1b, dose escalation study of RP6530 in 11 pts with mature T-cell neoplasms (NCT02567656). Methods: The study consists of dose escalation cohorts to determine the MTD of RP6530 using a standard 3+3 design, followed by two expansion cohorts enrolling 20 pts with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and 20 pts with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Pts with a diagnosis of PTCL or CTCL who have received at least one prior systemic therapy, ECOG performance status ≤ 2 and measurable/evaluable disease are eligible. This study evaluated the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of RP6530 administered twice daily (BID) in 28-day cycles. Responses were evaluated for PTCL and CTCL based on IWG criteria (Cheson 2014) and the modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT) respectively. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined by a toxicity of grade 3/4 that is considered related to treatment during the first cycle of treatment. Results: To date eleven pts (6 PTCL and 5 CTCL) (5 males and six females) have been enrolled at three dose levels: 200 mg BID, 400 mg BID and 800 mg BID. ECOG performance status score was 0/1/2 in 10/1/0 pts, respectively, with a mean age of 68 yrs (range 52-76). Pts had a median of 3 (range: 3-6) prior treatment regimens, and 5 pts had refractory disease and 6 relapsed on prior treatments. RP6530 was well tolerated without any DLT or related serious adverse event reported to date. A total of 52 non-serious adverse events were reported: 41 Grade 1/2 and 11 Grade 3/4. The most common adverse events included mild vomiting (18%), diarrhoea (18%), fatigue (18%), and rash (18%). No Grade 3/4 adverse events were deemed related to RP6530 except for ALT/AST elevation in one pt. No pt discontinued treatment due to a safety issue. Dose-proportional increases in plasma concentrations were observed in PKs. Dose escalation is currently ongoing at 800 mg BID. Five pts were evaluated for responses at Cycle 3, Day1. Two pts (1 PTCL and 1 CTCL) experienced PR (40%) that are ongoing >5 months, and three pts experienced stable disease lasting for >3 months (60%). Three pts experienced rapid disease progression during first cycle, and discontinued treatment prematurely. Conclusion: This ongoing study of RP6530 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile at doses evaluated, with a promising clinical activity. The results support further evaluation of RP6530 in pts with mature T-cell neoplasms. Disclosures Oki: Novartis: Research Funding. Barde:Rhizen Pharmaceuticals SA: Employment.

3611 Background: TP-1287 is a an orally bioavailable phosphate prodrug of alvocidib, a cyclin dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) inhibitor. TP-1287 exhibits potent inhibition of intracellular kinases including CDK9. Inhibition of CDK9 leads to downregulation of the BCL-2 family member, MCL-1, which in turn inhibits tumor growth in preclinical animal models of prostate, breast, and lung carcinomas. Methods: This is a multicenter, Phase 1, dose escalation study using a standard 3+3 design with a modified Fibonacci scheme to examine the safety and clinical activity of TP-1287 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be added at the maximum tolerated dose (i.e. expansion cohort) to test TP-1287 as a single agent in patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer. Results: Twenty-two patients who were enrolled between December 2018 and January 2020 received a range of doses from 1 mg QD to 11 mg BID over 7 cohorts. Data are available for 20 patients as of the data cutoff date. TP-1287 plasma PK Cmax and AUC increased in near linear fashion over cohorts 1 thru 6, reaching 80 ng/mL and 499.3 ng*h/mL in cohort 6 for Cmax and AUC, respectively. TP-1287 treatment resulted in dose-dependent reductions of phospho-RNA Pol II, consistent with CDK9 inhibition, as measured by a flow cytometric assay assessing pharmacodynamic changes in phosphorylation state in PBMCs. The most frequently observed Grade 3 AE was unrelated anemia in 2 patients. All other events of Grade 3 (9 events/7 patients) and Grade 4 (1 event/seizure with new CNS mets) were unlikely related or unrelated. Clinical benefit was seen in one sarcoma patient with PR (15+cycles), one RCC patient with SD (7+cycles) and 2 bladder cancer patients with SD (6 and 8 cycles). Conclusions: These findings suggest that TP-1287 is tolerated as a monotherapy in patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed, refractory solid tumors and further clinical development in selected indications is warranted.

e13502 Background: AT-101 [R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid] (AT) is an orally-administered BH3 mimetic that lowers the threshold for apoptosis by direct binding to Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mc1–1, Bcl-W, and through upregulation of the proapoptotic proteins Noxa and Puma. Bcl- 2 is over-expressed in >80% of SCLC. In vitro study using SCLC cells showed that treatment with EP had synergistic cytotoxic effects in suppression of Bcl-2. This is a phase I dose-escalation study of AT in combination with EP with an expanded cohort of patients with ES-SCLC. This study is being conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics and activity of AT with EP ± pegfilgrastim (F) in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors and/or ES-SCLC. Methods: This study used standard eligibility criteria except patients must not have received prior therapy that inhibits the Bcl-2 family. At dose level 1, patients received P 60 mg/m2 on day 1 and E 100 mg/m2 on days 1, 2, and 3 every 21 days. AT was administered 30 mg orally BID on days 1, 2 and 3 of each cycle. Results: 10 patients have been enrolled; 7 men, 3 women. Tumor types: 6 lung; 2 prostate; 1 head & neck; 1 unknown primary. 2 of 5 patients enrolled at dose level 1 experienced a DLT of neutropenic fever in cycle 1. Three subsequent patients were enrolled to dose level -1 (20 mg BID x 3 days, d1–3) which was well tolerated. Additional patients are being enrolled at dose level 1a (EP+AT with F). Grade 3/4 toxicities related to AT without F at dose level 1 and -1 were as follows: ANC (8), leucopenia (7), febrile neutropenia (2), low hemoglobin (1), thrombocytopenia (1), elevated AST (1), cardiac ischemia/MI (1), diarrhea (1). There were no reported grade 3/4 toxicities in two patients at level 1a. Four patients had stable disease; two progressive disease and four patients were unevaluable. Conclusions: The MTD without F was established at AT 20mg orally BID, P 60 mg/m2 on day 1, and E 100 mg/m2 on days 1, 2, and 3 every 21 days. The MTD with F has not yet been established. Accrual continues at dose level 1a. Subjective and objective evidence of clinical activity has been observed in patients with refractory solid tumors. This study was supported by NCI, UO1 CA062491, SAIC 25XS097 and 1ULRR025011. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
