3099 Background: Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) pathways are important elements of tumor survival and progression, and PIK3C genes are often mutated or overexpressed in many cancers. Additionally, PIK3D (PI3Kδ) modulates immune cell functions in tumors, elaborating another PI3Kδ inhibition feature with a potential clinical benefit. Linperlisib, an oral and highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity in syngeneic animals from previous research. In this Phase 1b study, the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of linperlisib is under investigation for patients with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Linperlisib was given orally once daily (QD) in 28-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study. Adverse events (AEs) were graded by NCI-CTCAE v5.0. Efficacy was assessed according to RECIST1.1 criteria. Results: As of December 28, 2020, 70 patients were enrolled in the Phase1b study, with advanced cancers, including colorectal (n = 22), breast (n = 8), lung (n = 8), kidney (n = 5), liver (n = 4), ovarian (n = 1), head and neck (n = 5), and esophageal (n = 1) cancers; sarcomas, (n = 4), small intestinal stromal tumor (n = 3), thymic (n = 2), gallbladder (n = 2), gastric (n = 4), and pancreatic (n = 1) carcinomas. The patients were heavily pretreated with an average of 4 previous lines of therapy. Among the 70 patients, the most common nonhematologic TEAEs (all grades/grade≥3) were proteinuria (37.14%/0%), elevated aspartate aminotransferase (20%/0%), nausea (20%/0%), oral mucositis (2.8%/2.8%), diarrhea (2.8%/2.8%). The most common hematological TEAEs were leukopenia (24.28%/0%) and neutropenia (17.14%/4.28%). There were no unexpected toxicities in this study. Of 42 patients evaluable for response, the overall response rate was 2.38%. Notably, the disease control rate (DCR) was 45.24% from monotherapy treatment. One patient with thymic carcinoma obtained a partial response (80.8% reduction of the target lesion), with a duration of response of more than 6 cycles. The treatment of this subject is continuing. A lung adenocarcinoma subject reached radiological stable disease associated with 13.7% reduction in the target lesion and disease control for approximately 6 months. Conclusions: In this study, the PI3K inhibitor, linperlisib exhibited a favorable safety profile as was previously seen in lymphoma patients. Monotherapy treatment with linperlisib was observed to impart a high DCR in advanced solid cancers of many types. Available data from linperlisib and other PI3K inhibitors suggests that linperlisib may limit tumor growth directly, but also by affecting the tumor immune microenvironment. With these promising indications of clinical tolerability and activity, further investigation of linperlisib alone or in key therapeutic combinations is warranted.

2515 Background: Telomerase is overexpressed in most solid tumors and rarely expressed in adult tissues and is therefore a promising target. We have previously demonstrated that KML001 (sodium metaarsenite) displaces hTERT from the nucleus and is cytotoxic (Clin Cancer Res 14:4593-602, 2008). We have also demonstrated that it is synergistic with cisplatin. Methods: Pts with advanced solid tumors, PS 0-1, normal renal and hepatic function were eligible. Treatment was with CDDP 75 mg/m2 day 1 and KML p.o. daily days 1-14 on a 21 day cycle. It was planned that KML doses would be escalated by 2.5 mg beginning at 15 mg/day. A 3+3 design was employed. Blood specimens for arsenic and platinum pk were obtained at hours 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, 24 and day 15 and 22. Tumor blocks were required to assess for telomerase expression. Results: 18 patients (7M,11F) are evaluable for toxicity. Pts were heavily pretreated (median number of prior regimens =3). 16 had prior platinum therapy. The dose limiting toxicity was QTc interval prolongation seen in three patients in cohort 3 (20 mg) (two during cycle 1, one during cycle 2). A PR was seen in a patient with heavily pretreated SCLC in cohort 1. 1 other pt with SCLC and 2 with NSCLC also experienced reduction in disease burden. 10/18 pts received >3 cycles of therapy. Other common toxicities observed were nausea, vomiting and cytopenias. Significant, but not dose limiting, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia (> grade 3) was observed in cohorts 1 and 2. Myelosuppression was primarily seen in pts with prior radiotherapy. Non-compartmental analysis for inorganic arsenic (iAs) and the mono (MAs) and dimethylarsenic (DMAs) metabolites was performed (Table). Conclusions: 1. The combination of KML-001 and CDDP is feasible and active. 2. We are currently evaluating CDDP 75 mg/m2 and KML 17.5 mg in an expansion cohorts of advanced SCLC and NSCLC. 3. Studies of telomerase expression are in progress. (R21CA130349-01) Clinical trial information: NCT01110226. [Table: see text]

14022 Background: Glufosfamide is glucose linked to isophosphoramide mustard, the active metabolite of ifosfamide. Cancer cells use glucose at a higher rate than normal cells, which may lead to preferential metabolic targeting by GLU. GLU has shown activity in patients (pts) with pancreatic cancer in Phase 1/2 studies with the dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) being nephrotoxicity and neutropenia. The MTD was 4500 mg/m2. In preclinical studies, GLU has shown additive activity when combined with GEM. The objectives of this study are to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety, efficacy and PK of GLU + GEM in advanced solid tumors. Methods: Eligible pts had Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70, no prior GEM, at least one lesion by RECIST, creatinine clearance (CrCL) ≥60 mL/min and acceptable hematologic and liver function. Cohorts of 3–6 patients were treated with GLU 1500–4500 mg/m2 IV over 4 hours on Day 1 and GEM 1000 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles. CT scans were obtained every 8 weeks. Detailed PK sampling was performed. Results: Nineteen pts with pancreatic (8), gall bladder (4) and other (7) cancers were enrolled. Two DLTs have occurred: Grade 3 fatigue at 2500 mg/m2 and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia at 4500 mg/m2. Both cohorts were expanded. No DLTs occurred in the 1500 or 3500 mg/m2 cohorts. Three pts completed all 6 cycles and 3 pts continue on study. Reasons for early discontinuation were progressive disease (10), clinical deterioration (1), AE (1) and death (1). Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 7 pts (5 during Cycle 1) and Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia in 5 pts (2 during Cycle 1). The CrCL fell below 60 mL/min in one patient. No objective tumor responses have been reported; 10 of 18 (56%) evaluable pts had stable disease (SD) at 8 weeks, including 1 pt with heavily pretreated ovarian cancer with ongoing SD after 8 months on therapy. PK analyses suggest no interaction between GLU and GEM. Conclusions: Phase 1 data indicate that full dose GLU (4500 mg/m2) can be given safely in combination with GEM. Both early and delayed Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia have been observed. A Phase 2 cohort of 28 pts with pancreatic adenocarcinoma is currently enrolling. Studies with GEM/GLU in other tumor types are planned. [Table: see text]

BackgroundIDO-1 inhibitors have shown antitumor activity in combination with immunotherapeutic agents in multiple cancers. KHK2455 is a novel and selective oral IDO-1 inhibitor. KHK2455 inhibits IDO-1 apo-enzyme, with long-lasting and potent activity. Mogamulizumab is an anti-C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) monoclonal antibody that has shown synergy with KHK2455 in preclinical models. Mogamulizumab is approved in the US and EU for treatment of mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome.MethodsIn this first-in-human study, patients with advanced solid tumors received escalating oral doses of KHK2455 alone (0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30 and 100 mg once daily) for 4 weeks (Cycle 0), followed by combination with 1 mg/kg weekly of IV mogamulizumab for 4 weeks (Cycle 1), and then on Days 1 and 15 (from Cycle 2 onward) in a standard 3+3 Phase I design. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and IDO activity (kynurenine [Kyn] and tryptophan [Trp] levels and ex vivo Kyn production) were evaluated.ResultsThirty-six patients were enrolled across all cohorts. One patient with lower esophageal cancer in the 100 mg cohort exhibited dose-limiting toxicity (Grade 3 gastrointestinal necrosis). The most frequent (≥10%) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are presented in table 1. Overall numbers of TEAEs, ≥Grade 3 TEAEs, and serious TEAEs related to KHK2455 and mogamulizumab are presented in table 2. Serious KHK2455-related TEAEs included gastrointestinal necrosis (KHK2455 monotherapy), and nausea and drug eruption (combination therapy). In addition, five drug-related TEAEs in combination therapy led to discontinuation; there were no fatal outcomes related to either study drug. Plasma KHK2455 concentrations reached steady state by Day 8 (Cycle 0) and increased dose-dependently. Potent dose-dependent inhibition of IDO activity was demonstrated by plasma Kyn concentration and Kyn/Trp ratio (median inhibition 70.5% and 70.8%, respectively, at 100 mg dose on Day 15, compared to baseline) and ex vivo Kyn production (>95% inhibition at ≥10 mg KHK2455), confirming target modulation. Six of 26 evaluable patients from all dosing groups achieved durable disease stabilization (≥6 months, RECIST 1.1), and one patient with bevacizumab-resistant glioblastoma demonstrated confirmed partial response (43.5% tumor reduction over a 2-year observation period). Median overall survival was 13.4 months, with 30% of subjects surviving for 2 years or longer (figure 1).Abstract 287 Table 1Study 2455-001: Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (≥10% by Preferred Term)Abstract 287 Table 2Abstract 287 Figure 1Study 2455-001: Overall SurvivalConclusionsKHK2455 in combination with mogamulizumab was well-tolerated and manageable at all doses tested, suppressed Kyn production in a dose-dependent and sustained manner, and demonstrated signals of antitumor activity. These data support the continued development of this combination.AcknowledgementsMedical writing assistance was provided by Susan E. Johnson, PhD, S.E.

BackgroundMEDI9197 is an intratumorally administered toll-like receptor 7 and 8 agonist. In mice, MEDI9197 modulated antitumor immune responses, inhibited tumor growth and increased survival. This first-time-in-human, phase 1 study evaluated MEDI9197 with or without the programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) inhibitor durvalumab and/or palliative radiation therapy (RT) for advanced solid tumors.Patients and methodsEligible patients had at least one cutaneous, subcutaneous, or deep-seated lesion suitable for intratumoral (IT) injection. Dose escalation used a standard 3+3 design. Patients received IT MEDI9197 0.005–0.055 mg with or without RT (part 1), or IT MEDI9197 0.005 or 0.012 mg plus durvalumab 1500 mg intravenous with or without RT (part 3), in 4-week cycles. Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability. Secondary endpoints included pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and objective response based on Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors version 1.1. Exploratory endpoints included tumor and peripheral biomarkers that correlate with biological activity or predict response.ResultsFrom November 2015 to March 2018, part 1 enrolled 35 patients and part 3 enrolled 17 patients; five in part 1 and 2 in part 3 received RT. The maximum tolerated dose of MEDI9197 monotherapy was 0.037 mg, with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of cytokine release syndrome in two patients (one grade 3, one grade 4) and 0.012 mg in combination with durvalumab 1500 mg with DLT of MEDI9197-related hemorrhagic shock in one patient (grade 5) following liver metastasis rupture after two cycles of MEDI9197. Across parts 1 and 3, the most frequent MEDI9197-related adverse events (AEs) of any grade were fever (56%), fatigue (31%), and nausea (21%). The most frequent MEDI9197-related grade ≥3 events were decreased lymphocytes (15%), neutrophils (10%), and white cell counts (10%). MEDI9197 increased tumoral CD8+ and PD-L1+ cells, inducing type 1 and 2 interferons and Th1 response. There were no objective clinical responses; 10 patients in part 1 and 3 patients in part 3 had stable disease ≥8 weeks.ConclusionIT MEDI9197 was feasible for subcutaneous/cutaneous lesions but AEs precluded its use in deep-seated lesions. Although no patients responded, MEDI9197 induced systemic and intratumoral immune activation, indicating potential value in combination regimens in other patient populations.Trial registration numberNCT02556463.

The Moment

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a disease almost impossible to cure. In the context of heavily pretreated patients, the anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) pembrolizumab is a valid therapeutic option. The alteration of the PD-1-PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis is often present in MF, and this aspect explains the feasibility of this therapy. We report the case of a 60-year-old woman diagnosed with MF in 2003, Olsen stage IA (T1M0NXBO). Since the moment of the diagnosis, she received 10 lines of therapy, with a short duration of response after each one of them. In April 2020, our patient started pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks, and she achieved a partial response after the 4th cycle, consistent with the modified severity assessment tool (mSWAT) 1, which she is still maintaining after 10 cycles. No grade ≥3 adverse events were recorded. We conclude that pembrolizumab can induce extremely rapid responses in MF, with very low toxicity.

2509 Background: TGF-β plays a key role in regulating the tumor microenvironment. Emerging evidence suggests TGF-β is a key activator of cancer-associated fibroblasts, leading to fibrotic network development and immune exclusion. Preclinical data in murine models showed that TGF-β blockade alleviates intratumoral fibrosis, augmenting the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy. NIS793 is a human IgG2 mAb that binds to TGF-β. This study investigates NIS793 + spartalizumab in pts with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Pts initially received NIS793 (0.3–1 mg/kg Q3W) monotherapy; following evaluation of two dose levels, dose escalation continued with NIS793 + spartalizumab (NIS793 0.3–30 mg/kg Q3W + spartalizumab 300 mg Q3W; or NIS793 20–30 mg/kg Q2W + spartalizumab 400 mg Q4W) in pts with/without prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. In dose expansion, pts with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) resistant to prior anti-PD-(L)1 or pts with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) were treated at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE). Paired tumor biopsies were required from all pts. The primary objectives were to characterize safety and tolerability of the combination and determine the RDE. Results: By December 1, 2020, 60 pts were treated in the dose-escalation phase, mainly with NIS793 + spartalizumab (n = 49), and 60 pts were treated in dose expansion (MSS-CRC: n = 40; NSCLC: n = 20). Two pts were still receiving treatment. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the RDE was established as 30 mg/kg (2100 mg) NIS793 + 300 mg spartalizumab Q3W. Overall 50% pts experienced ≥1 treatment-related AE (TRAE). The most common were rash (n = 15/120), pruritus (n = 10/120), fatigue (n = 9/120), and nausea (n = 8/120). Grade 3/4 TRAEs occurred in 11% pts, with rash (3%) being the most common. Treatment-related serious AEs were reported in 8 pts; 6 were grade 3/4 in severity. No deaths occurred due to AEs; 3 (2.5%) pts discontinued due to AEs. PK for NIS793 was linearly dose proportional with no obvious correlation between exposure and response. Two pts achieved a partial response (PR; one confirmed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and one unconfirmed in NSCLC) during dose escalation of the combination. Two confirmed PRs were achieved in the MSS-CRC dose-expansion group. Biomarker data showed evidence of target engagement through increased TGF-β/NIS793 complexes and depleted active TGF-β in peripheral blood. Gene expression and protein analyses in tumor biopsies displayed decreased TGF-β target genes, decreased TGF-β signatures and increased immune signatures suggesting modulation of the TGF-β pathway and preliminary evidence of biological activity. Conclusions: Data showing target engagement and TGF-β pathway inhibition supported the proof of mechanism of NIS793. The RDE of the combination was established and well tolerated in pts with advanced solid tumors. Clinical trial information: NCT02947165.

2556 Background: Depletion of tumor-infiltrating CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which inhibit tumor-specific immune responses, could contribute to tumor eradication. Cami (ADCT-301), an anti-CD25, pyrrolobenzodiazepine-based antibody-drug conjugate, targets CD25+ Tregs. A mouse surrogate has shown potent antitumor activity in solid tumor models. Here we report preliminary data from the monotherapy arm of a phase 1b trial of Cami in pts with selected advanced solid tumors. Methods: The monotherapy dose-escalation part of this open-label study enrolled pts (aged ≥18 years) with selected advanced solid tumors and no suitable existing therapy. The primary objective was to characterize safety and tolerability, and to identify the recommended phase 2 dose of Cami monotherapy. Secondary and exploratory objectives included evaluation of preliminary antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity. Pts received Cami every 3 weeks (1 cycle) with dose escalation per a 3+3 design. Disease control rate (DCR) was assessed (complete and partial responses [CR, PR] and stable disease). Results: At data cut-off (Dec 17, 2020), 44 pts were enrolled, with primary tumor types (stage IVA/B: 27 pts; 61.4%) of colorectal (15 pts; 34.1%), pancreatic (14 pts; 31.8%), head and neck, ovarian/fallopian tube, and renal cell carcinoma (all 3 pts; 6.8%), non-small cell lung cancer (2 pts; 4.5%), gastric, esophageal/GEJ, melanoma, and triple-negative breast cancer (each 1 pt; 2.3%). Median (range) age was 60.5 (33–82) years; median (range) number of prior systemic therapies was 4 (1–9). Pts received a median (range) of 2 (1–6) Cami cycles at doses of 20–150 µg/kg. Median (range) treatment duration was 22 (1–178) days. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached. All-grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in ≥20% pts were nausea (18 pts; 40.9%), decreased appetite and fatigue (each 16 pts; 36.4%), constipation (13 pts; 29.5%), abdominal pain (11 pts; 25%), and rash (10 pts; 22.7%). The only Grade ≥3 TEAE in ≥10% pts was anemia (5 pts; 11.4%). Grade 3 autoimmune AEs (colitis, immune-mediated AE, systemic inflammatory response syndrome) and neurologic AEs (dysphagia and asthenia, but not GBS) were reported in 3 (6.8%) and 2 (4.5%) pts, respectively. 1 (2.3%) Cami-related TEAE led to treatment withdrawal; no Cami-related TEAEs were fatal. DCR was 25% (95% CI: 11.1, 34.7); 11/44 pts attained stable disease. No pts had CR or PR. Conclusions: Dose escalation of Cami monotherapy is complete. The safety profile is encouraging and MTD was not reached. PK/PD data will be presented. 150 µg/kg is the highest dose investigated for single-agent Cami and the highest to be investigated combined with pembrolizumab in selected advanced solid tumors in the current protocol.

PURPOSE: We conducted a phase I and pharmacokinetic study of docetaxel in combination with irinotecan to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), and the dose at which at least 50% of the patients experienced a DLT during the first cycle, and to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles in patients with advanced solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with only one prior chemotherapy treatment (without taxanes or topoisomerase I inhibitors) for advanced disease were included in the study. Docetaxel was administered as a 1-hour IV infusion after premedication with corticosteroids followed immediately by irinotecan as a 90-minute IV infusion, every 3 weeks. No hematologic growth factors were allowed. RESULTS: Forty patients were entered through the following seven dose levels (docetaxel/irinotecan): 40/140 mg/m2, 50/175 mg/m2, 60/210 mg/m2, 60/250 mg/m2, 60/275 mg/m2, 60/300 mg/m2, and 70/250 mg/m2. Two hundred cycles were administered. Two MTDs were determined, 70/250 mg/m2 and 60/300 mg/m2; the DLTs were febrile neutropenia and diarrhea. Neutropenia was the main hematologic toxicity, with 85% of patients experiencing grade 4 neutropenia. Grade 3/4 nonhematologic toxicities in patients included late diarrhea (7.5%), asthenia (15.0%), febrile neutropenia (22.5%), infection (7.5%), and nausea (5.0%). Pharmacokinetics of both docetaxel and irinotecan were not modified with the administration schedule of this study. CONCLUSION: The recommended dose of docetaxel in combination with irinotecan is 60/275 mg/m2, respectively. At this dose level, the safety profile is manageable. The activity of this combination should be evaluated in phase II studies in different tumor types.

PURPOSE Melphalan flufenamide (melflufen) is a first-in-class peptide-drug conjugate that targets aminopeptidases and rapidly and selectively releases alkylating agents into tumor cells. The phase II HORIZON trial evaluated the efficacy of melflufen plus dexamethasone in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), a population with an important unmet medical need. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with RRMM refractory to pomalidomide and/or an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody received melflufen 40 mg intravenously on day 1 of each 28-day cycle plus once weekly oral dexamethasone at a dose of 40 mg (20 mg in patients older than 75 years). The primary end point was overall response rate (partial response or better) assessed by the investigator and confirmed by independent review. Secondary end points included duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. The primary analysis is complete with long-term follow-up ongoing. RESULTS Of 157 patients (median age 65 years; median five prior lines of therapy) enrolled and treated, 119 patients (76%) had triple-class–refractory disease, 55 (35%) had extramedullary disease, and 92 (59%) were refractory to previous alkylator therapy. The overall response rate was 29% in the all-treated population, with 26% in the triple-class–refractory population. In the all-treated population, median duration of response was 5.5 months, median progression-free survival was 4.2 months, and median overall survival was 11.6 months at a median follow-up of 14 months. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 96% of patients, most commonly neutropenia (79%), thrombocytopenia (76%), and anemia (43%). Pneumonia (10%) was the most common grade 3/4 nonhematologic event. Thrombocytopenia and bleeding (both grade 3/4 but fully reversible) occurred concomitantly in four patients. GI events, reported in 97 patients (62%), were predominantly grade 1/2 (93%); none were grade 4. CONCLUSION Melflufen plus dexamethasone showed clinically meaningful efficacy and a manageable safety profile in patients with heavily pretreated RRMM, including those with triple-class–refractory and extramedullary disease.

Dose Limiting Toxicity

2026 Background: Ispinesib, a novel cytotoxic agent inhibiting the kinesin spindle protein (KSP) has demonstrated significant antitumor activity in multiple murine tumor models. The primary objectives of the study were to assess the safety and tolerability of SB-715992, to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT), and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Methods: Ispinesib was administered days 1–3 intravenously over 1 hour every 21 days, starting at a dose of 1 mg/m2/day. Traditional 3-patient cohort trial design was utilized with dose levels of 2, 4, 6, 8 mg/m2/day. Results: Twenty-seven patients (24 Caucasians, 3 African-Americans, 16 males, 11 females) with various tumor types were enrolled; colorectal (7), renal (5), bladder (2), lung (2), pharynx (2), pancreas (2), others (7). Grade 3/4 toxicities were noted starting at the 4 mg/m2 dose level with two patients developing grade 4 neutropenia; one for < 5 days, one for > 5 days (with grade 3 leukopenia). At the 6 mg/m2 dose level, grade 3 neutropenia and leukopenia were reported. At the 8 mg/m2 dose level, 3 of 3 patients had grade 4 neutropenia and leukopenia. The 6 mg/m2 dose level was declared the MTD. Toxicities seen in the additional 6 patients included grade 1 fatigue (1/6), grade 1 infusion- related flushing (1/6), grade 3 febrile neutropenia (1/6), and grade 4 neutropenia and leukopenia (1/6). The MTD cohort has been expanded to 10 evaluable patients for confirmation of tolerability and pharmacodynamic endpoints including phosphohistone 3 (PH3), cyclin E, and TUNEL assay on serial tumor biopsies. Preliminary pharmacokinetic data appear linear, but not dose proportional. As predicted, between days 1 and 3, accumulation ranged from 40 to 106%. Exposures appear comparable between cycles 1 and 2. Stable disease in 2 patients with renal cell carcinoma (4 and 5 cycles) and minor response in one patient with bladder cancer were seen. Conclusions: Treatment with ispinesib at the MTD of 6 mg/m2/day x 3 days in patients with advanced solid tumors was well tolerated with consistent dose limiting toxicity of myelosuppression.
