Abstract Genomic aberrations in the cell cycle and PI3K pathway are commonly observed in recurrent childhood brain tumors. Dual inhibition of CDK4/6 (ribociclib) and mTOR (everolimus) has strong biologic rationale, non-overlapping single-agent toxicities, and adult clinical experience. The maximum tolerated dosage (MTD) and/or recommended phase two dose (RP2D) of ribociclib and everolimus was determined in the Phase I study and ribociclib concentrations were characterized in plasma and tumor in children undergoing neurosurgical procedures. Following resection, eligible patients were enrolled in the Phase I study according to a rolling 6 design and received ribociclib and everolimus once daily for 21 days and 28 days, respectively. Patients undergoing surgery received ribociclib at the pediatric RP2D (350 mg/m2/day) for 7–10 days pre-operatively. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected on both cohorts and analyzed in nine patients on phase I study. Sixteen eligible patients enrolled on phase I study (median age 10.3 years; range: 3.9–20.4) and 5 patients were enrolled on the surgical cohort (median age 11.4 years; range: 7.2–17.1). Six patients enrolled at dose level 1 without dose limiting toxicities (DLT). Two of the three patients at dose level 2 experienced DLT (grade 3 hypertension and grade 4 ALT). The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were lymphopenia, neutropenia, and leucopenia. Everolimus concentrations following administration of everolimus alone were lower than those following drug combination, suggesting an impact of ribociclib on everolimus pharmacokinetics. The MTD/RP2D of ribociclib and everolimus in recurrent CNS tumors is 120 mg/m2 and 1.2 mg/ m2 daily for 21 days and 28 days, respectively.

PURPOSE: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of a weekly schedule of irinotecan (CPT-11), leucovorin (LV), and a 24-hour infusion of fluorouracil (5-FU24h) as first-line chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer and to assess preliminary data on the antitumor activity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-six patients with measurable metastatic colorectal cancer were entered onto this phase I study. In the first six dose levels, fixed doses of CPT-11 (80 mg/m2) and LV (500 mg/m2) in combination with escalated doses of 5-FU24h ranging from 1.8 to 2.6 g/m2 were administered on a weekly-times-four (dose levels 1 to 4) or weekly-times-six (dose levels 5 to 6) schedule. The dose of CPT-11 was then increased to 100 mg/m2 (dose level 7). RESULTS: Seventy-nine cycles of 5-FU24h/LV with CPT-11 were administered in an outpatient setting. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed during the first cycle at dose levels 1 to 6, but diarrhea of grade 4 (National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria) was observed in three patients after multiple treatment cycles. Other nonhematologic and hematologic side effects, specifically alopecia and neutropenia, did not exceed grade 2. With the escalation of CPT-11 to 100 mg/m2 (dose level 7), diarrhea of grade 3 or higher was observed in four of six patients during the first cycle; thus, the MTD was achieved. Sixteen of 25 response-assessable patients (64%; 95% confidence interval, 45% to 83%) achieved an objective response. CONCLUSION: The recommended doses for further studies are CPT-11 80 mg/m2, LV 500 mg/m2, and 5-FU24h 2.6 g/m2 given on a weekly-times-six schedule followed by a 1-week rest period. The addition of CPT-11 to 5-FU24h/LV seems to improve the therapeutic efficacy in terms of tumor response with manageable toxicity.

Purpose Our preclinical work identified depletion of ATR as a top candidate for topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitor synthetic lethality and showed that ATR inhibition sensitizes tumors to TOP1 inhibitors. We hypothesized that a combination of selective ATR inhibitor M6620 (previously VX-970) and topotecan, a selective TOP1 inhibitor, would be tolerable and active, particularly in tumors with high replicative stress. Patients and Methods This phase I study tested the combination of M6620 and topotecan in 3-week cycles using 3 + 3 dose escalation. The primary end point was the identification of the maximum tolerated dose of the combination. Efficacy and pharmacodynamics were secondary end points. Results Between September 2016 and February 2017, 21 patients enrolled. The combination was well tolerated, which allowed for dose escalation to the highest planned dose level (topotecan 1.25 mg/m2, days 1 to 5; M6620 210 mg/m2, days 2 and 5). One of six patients at this dose level experienced grade 4 thrombocytopenia that required transfusion, a dose-limiting toxicity. Most common treatment-related grade 3 or 4 toxicities were anemia, leukopenia, and neutropenia (19% each); lymphopenia (14%); and thrombocytopenia (10%). Two partial responses (≥ 18 months, ≥ 7 months) and seven stable disease responses ≥ 3 months (median, 9 months; range, 3 to 12 months) were seen. Three of five patients with small-cell lung cancer, all of whom had platinum-refractory disease, had a partial response or prolonged stable disease (10, ≥ 6, and ≥ 7 months). Pharmacodynamic studies showed preliminary evidence of ATR inhibition and enhanced DNA double-stranded breaks in response to the combination. Conclusion To our knowledge, this report is the first of an ATR inhibitor-chemotherapy combination. The maximum dose of topotecan plus M6620 is tolerable. The combination seems particularly active in platinum-refractory small-cell lung cancer, which tends not to respond to topotecan alone. Phase II studies with biomarker evaluation are ongoing.

Abstract Phase I and II clinical studies demonstrated activity of Clofarabine in acute leukemias. In previous studies we have investigated clofarabine, plus ara-C combinations and reported a CR rate of 24% in relapsed AML and 52% in previously untreated AML ≥ 50 years (yrs) with acceptable toxicity profile. Anthracyclines are active in AML. To explore clofarabine further in AML combinations we conducted a phase I study of clofarabine with idarubicin with or without ara-C in pts with relapsed AML, MDS, and CML. Considered as dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) are ≥ grade 3 drug-related toxicities. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be determined by “3+3” dose escalation scheme. On the clofarabine (C)/idarubicin (I) combination (CI), 9 AML pts are enrolled (2 primary refractory, 7 first relapse). Median age: 58 yrs (range 24–71). Median first remission duration (CRD1): 3.1 mos. (0–7.6). For the first dose level, C was given at 22.5mg/m2 i.v. daily x 5d and I at 12mg/m2 i.v. daily x 3d. Among the first 6 pts, 2 ≥ gr. 3 toxicities (diarrhea, rash, ↑ bili) occurred necessitating dose de-escalation of C to 15mg/m2 i.v. daily x 5 and I 8mg/m2 i.v. daily x 3. Among 3 pts, 1 ≥ gr.3 toxicity (↑ bili) was observed. No responses occurred. On the CI + ara-C arm (CIA), 7 AML pts are enrolled (1 primary refractory, 6 first relapse). Median age: 58 yrs. (24–78). Median CRD1: 11.2 mos. (0–13.1). First dose level: C 22.5mg/m2 i.v. daily x 5d, I 8mg/m2 i.v. daily x 3d, A 1g/m2 i.v. daily x 5d. Of 3 pts, 2 developed ≥ gr.3 toxicities (↑ bili, diarrhea) leading to the following de-escalation: C 15mg/m2 i.v. daily x 5d, I 6mg/m2 i.v. daily x 3d, A 0.75g/m2 i.v. daily x 5d. Of 4 pts (1 ≥ gr. 3 rash, ↑ bili), 3 pts achieved CR. The phase I study is ongoing until determination of DLT and MTD for each arm. Our preliminary results indicate clinical activity of CIA even at the low dose level.

Abstract Triapine is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), which is required for the conversion of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. Two phase I trials in patients with hematologic malignancies demonstrated that Triapine could reduce circulating blasts in the majority of patients without significant non-hematologic toxicity (Giles et al. Leuk Res2003;27:1077–1083; Karp et al. Blood2002;100:560a). Preclinical studies have shown that the combination of Triapine and ara-C produces additive or synergistic cytotoxicity against several tumor cell lines, potentially by increasing intracellular ara-CTP levels when Triapine inhibits RNR. Therefore, a phase I study of Triapine in combination with ara-C was conducted in 32 patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia and high-risk MDS (1 MDS, 28 AML, 2 Ph+ ALL, and 1 Ph- ALL) in order to determine the tolerability, safety, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Triapine® was administered at a dose of 105 mg/m2/d as a 6-hour infusion for 5 consecutive days (D1–5) followed immediately by ara-C [100 (n=4), 200 (n=6), 400 (n=7), or 800 (n=8) mg/m2/d] as an 18-hour infusion for 5 consecutive days (D1–5). Median age was 59 years (range, 15–83 years). Median ECOG status 1 (range, 0–2). Median number of prior therapies was 2 (range 1–9), including prior autologous (n= 2) and allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) (n=4). Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed at the 800 mg/m2 ara-C dose level (1 patient each with grade 4 mucositis; grade 4 neutropenic colitis, sepsis and death; grade 4 neuropathy; and grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia). Therefore, the study was amended to include an ara-C dose level of 600 mg/m2/d. Seven patients were treated at this dose level without development DLTs. Thirty-one patients received at least 1 course, 2 received 2 courses, and 4 received 3 courses; 1 patient withdrew prior to completion of 1 course of therapy. Of the 31 evaluable patients, 4 (13%) patients (3 AML, 1 Ph+ ALL) achieved a CR (1 at an ara-C dose of 800 mg/m2; 2 at 600 mg/m2; 1 at 200 mg/m2). Two of the responders also achieved a complete cytogenetic remission (including 1 Ph+ ALL). All responses occurred after 1 induction course. One patient went on to receive an allogeneic (SCT) and continues in CR. Duration of responses was 9, 20, 52+, and 73+ weeks. Mean Cmax and AUC achieved for Triapine were 1.13 μg/mL and 251.5 min•μg/mL. The most frequent toxicities included nausea &/or vomiting (66%), elevated liver enzymes (50%; gr. 3 in 22%), fever (47%), diarrhea (41%; gr. 3 in 6%), rash (31%; gr. 3 in 6%), mucositis (28%), hand-foot syndrome (16%; gr. 3 in 3%), and peripheral edema (16%; gr. 3 in 9%). Triapine and cytarabine has activity in patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemias. The recommended phase II dose is Triapine 105 mg/m2/day for 5 consecutive days (D1–5) followed by ara-C 600 mg/m2/d for 5 consecutive days (D1–5).

Abstract XK469R is a quinoxaline phenoxypropionic acid derivative which possesses broad activity against murine and human tumors (including leukemia) and high activity against multidrug-resistant tumors. COMPARE analysis of cytotoxicity data from the NCI cell line screen suggested a unique mechanism. Phase I studies in patients with advanced solid tumors indicated that the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was myelosuppression, without other significant toxicities noted, at a fixed dose of 1400 mg/dose when given on a day 1,3,5 schedule every 21 days. Therefore, we conducted a phase I study to establish the DLT and maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of XK469R in patients with refractory hematologic malignancies, as well as to study the pharmacokinetics of XK469R in this patient population. XK469R was given as a straight dose as an IV infusion over 30 minutes-1 hour on days 1, 3, and 5 of a 21 day cycle. Because significant interpatient variability in drug clearance (associated with toxicity) was noted in prior studies, each dose cohort included a minimum of six patients. The dose levels studied were 1400 mg (n=6), 1750 mg (n=12), 2200 mg (n=14), and 2750mg (n=14). A total of 46 patients with relapsed/refractory leukemia have been treated and are evaluable for toxicity; 41 patients with AML, 4 ALL, and 1 CML-BC. The group consists of 26 males and 20 females with a median age of 53 (range 20–85). ECOG PS included 0 (n=19), 1 (n=21), and 2 (n=6). Median number of cycles received was 1; 10 patients received 2 cycles and 2 patients received 3 cycles. DLT was defined as any clinically significant grade 3 or 4 adverse nonhematologic toxicity other than prolonged myelosuppression, as defined by NCI criteria specific for leukemia. DLTs of colitis and mucositis were observed at the 2200 mg dose level, and mucositis and elevated bilirubin at the 2750 mg dose level. Other possibly related grade 1 and 2 toxicities noted were SGOT/PT elevations, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, indigestion, rash, and alopecia. The MTD, defined as the dose level at which <2/6 patients experience a DLT, was 2200 mg. Forty-two patients were evaluable for response and include CR (n=1, in 1750 mg cohort), HI (n=5), SD (n=21), and PD (n=15). Preliminary pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that plasma concentrations of XK469R decline in a biphasic manner. Half-life was long with a mean value of 48 h. Mean clearance was 206 ml/h with a coefficient of variation of 32%. Patients with lower clearance did not appear to be at greater risk of DLT. In conclusion, the recommended phase II dose of XK469R in patients with advanced leukemia is 1750 mg (day 1,3,5). Due to its novel mechanism of action, reasonable toxicity profile, and clinical activity in these high-risk patients, further exploration of XK469R, possibly in combination with other established agents, is warranted in patients with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia.
