RESUMO
Adavosertib (AZD1775) is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of Wee1 kinase. This analysis utilized pharmacokinetic data from 8 Phase I/II studies of adavosertib to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of adavosertib in patients (n = 538) with solid tumors and evaluate the impact of covariates on exposure. A nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach was employed to estimate population and individual parameters from the clinical trial data. The model for time dependency of apparent clearance (CL) was developed in a stepwise manner and the final model validated by visual predictive checks (VPCs). Using an adavosertib dose of 300 mg once daily on a 5 days on/2 days off dosing schedule given 2 weeks out of a 3-week cycle, simulation analyses evaluated the impact of covariates on the following exposure metrics at steady state: maximum concentration during a 21-day cycle, area under the curve (AUC) during a 21-day cycle, AUC during the second week of a treatment cycle, and AUC on day 12 of a treatment cycle. The final model was a linear 2-compartment model with lag time into the dosing compartment and first-order absorption into the central compartment, time-varying CL, and random effects on all model parameters. VPCs and steady-state observations confirmed that the final model satisfied all the requirements for reliable simulation of randomly sampled Phase I and II populations with different covariate characteristics. Simulation-based analyses revealed that body weight, renal impairment status, and race were key factors determining the variability of drug-exposure metrics.
RESUMO
This exploratory, post hoc analysis aimed to model circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics and predict disease progression in patients with treatment-naïve locally advanced/metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor mutation (EGFRm)-positive non-small cell lung cancer, from the FLAURA trial (NCT02296125). Patients were randomized 1:1 and received osimertinib 80 mg once daily (q.d.) or comparator EGFR-TKIs (gefitinib 250 mg q.d. or erlotinib 150 mg q.d.). Plasma was collected at baseline and multiple timepoints until treatment discontinuation. Patients with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) imaging data and detectable EGFR mutations (Ex19del/L858R) at baseline and ≥ 3 additional timepoints were evaluable. Joint modeling was conducted to characterize the relationship between longitudinal changes in ctDNA and probability of progression-free survival (PFS). A Bayesian joint model of ctDNA and PFS was developed solving differential equations with the ctDNA dynamics and the PFS time-to-event probability. Of 556 patients, 353 had detectable ctDNA at baseline. Evaluable patients (with available imaging and ≥ 3 additional timepoints, n = 320; ctDNA set) were divided into training (n = 259) and validation (n = 61) sets. In the validation set, the model predicted a median PFS of 17.7 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 11.9-28.3) for osimertinib (n = 23) and 9.1 months (95% CI: 6.3-14.8) for comparator (n = 38), consistent with observed RECIST PFS (16.4 months and 9.7, respectively). The model demonstrates that EGFRm ctDNA dynamics can predict the risk of disease progression in this patient population and could be used to predict RECIST-defined disease progression.

PURPOSE: Adavosertib may alter exposure to substrates of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of enzymes. This study assessed its effect on the pharmacokinetics of a cocktail of probe substrates for CYP3A (midazolam), CYP2C19 (omeprazole), and CYP1A2 (caffeine). METHODS: Period 1: patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors received 'cocktail': caffeine 200 mg, omeprazole 20 mg, and midazolam 2 mg (single dose); period 2: after 7- to 14-day washout, patients received adavosertib 225 mg twice daily on days 1-3 (five doses), with cocktail on day 3. After cocktail alone or in combination with adavosertib administration, 24-h pharmacokinetic sampling occurred for probe substrates and their respective metabolites paraxanthine, 5-hydroxyomeprazole (5-HO), and 1'-hydroxymidazolam (1'-HM). Safety was assessed throughout. RESULTS: Of 33 patients (median age 60.0 years, range 41-83) receiving cocktail, 30 received adavosertib. Adavosertib co-administration increased caffeine, omeprazole, and midazolam exposure by 49%, 80%, and 55% (AUC0-12), respectively; AUC0-t increased by 61%, 98%, and 55%. Maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) increased by 4%, 46%, and 39%. Adavosertib co-administration increased 5-HO and 1'-HM exposure by 43% and 54% (AUC0-12) and 49% and 58% (AUC0-t), respectively; paraxanthine exposure was unchanged. Adavosertib co-administration decreased Cmax for paraxanthine and 5-HO by 19% and 7%; Cmax increased by 33% for 1'-HM. After receiving adavosertib, 19 (63%) patients had treatment-related adverse events (six [20%] grade ≥ 3). CONCLUSION: Adavosertib (225 mg bid) is a weak inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP3A. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV: NCT03333824.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell subsets and immunophenotypic composition of the pre-infusion product, as well as their longitudinal changes following infusion, are expected to affect CAR T-cell expansion, persistence, and clinical outcomes. Herein, we sequentially evolved our previously described cellular kinetic-pharmacodynamic (CK-PD) model to incorporate CAR T-cell product-associated attributes by utilizing published preclinical and clinical datasets from two affinity variants (FMC63 and CAT19 scFv) anti-CD19 CAR T-cells. In step 1, a unified cell-level PD model was used to simultaneously characterize the in vitro killing datasets of two CAR T-cells against CD19+ cell lines at varying effector:target ratios. In step 2, an augmented CK-PD model for anti-CD19 CAR T-cells was developed, by integrating CK dataset(s) from two bioanalytical measurements (quantitative polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry) in patients with cancer. The model described the differential in vivo expansion properties of CAR T-cell subsets. The estimated expansion rate constant was ~1.12-fold higher for CAR+CD8+ cells in comparison to CAR+CD4+ T-cells. In step 3, the model was extended to characterize the disposition of four immunophenotypic populations of CAR T-cells, including stem-cell memory, central memory, effector memory, and effector cells. The model adequately characterized the longitudinal changes in immunophenotypes post anti-CD19 CAR T-cell infusion in pediatric patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Polyclonality in the pre-infusion product was identified as a categorical covariate influencing differentiation of immunophenotypes. In the future, this model could be leveraged a priori toward optimizing the composition of CAR T-cell infusion product, and further understand the CK-PD relationship in patients.

PURPOSE: Adavosertib is a small-molecule, ATP-competitive inhibitor of Wee1 kinase. Molecularly targeted oncology agents have the potential to increase the risk of cardiovascular events, including prolongation of QT interval and associated cardiac arrhythmias. This study investigated the effect of adavosertib on the QTc interval in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS: Eligible patients were ≥ 18 years of age with advanced solid tumors for which no standard therapy existed. Patients received adavosertib 225 mg twice daily on days 1-2 at 12-h intervals and once on day 3. Patients underwent digital 12-lead electrocardiogram and pharmacokinetic assessments pre-administration and time-matched assessments during the drug administration period. The relationship between maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) and baseline-adjusted corrected QT interval by Fridericia (QTcF) was estimated using a prespecified linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS: Twenty-one patients received adavosertib. Concentration-QT modeling of ΔQTcF and the upper limit of the 90% confidence interval corresponding to the geometric mean of Cmax observed on days 1 and 3 were below the threshold for regulatory concern (not > 10 ms). No significant relationship between ΔQTcF (vs baseline) and adavosertib concentration was identified (P = 0.27). Pharmacokinetics and the adverse event (AE) profile were consistent with previous studies at this dose. Eleven (52.4%) patients experienced 17 treatment-related AEs in total, including diarrhea and nausea (both reported in six [28.6%] patients), vomiting (reported in two [9.5%] patients), anemia, decreased appetite, and constipation (all reported in one [4.8%] patient). CONCLUSION: Adavosertib does not have a clinically important effect on QTc prolongation. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV: NCT03333824.

BACKGROUND: Adavosertib (AZD1775) is a first-in-class, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of Wee1. OBJECTIVE: The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of adavosertib monotherapy were evaluated in patients with various solid-tumor types and molecular profiles. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eligible patients had the following: confirmed diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), or small-cell lung cancer (SCLC); previous treatment for metastatic/recurrent disease; and measurable disease. Patients were grouped into six matched cohorts based on tumor type and presence/absence of biomarkers and received oral adavosertib 175 mg twice a day on days 1-3 and 8-10 of a 21-day treatment cycle. RESULTS: Eighty patients received treatment in the expansion phase; median total treatment duration was 2.4 months. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (56.3%), nausea (42.5%), fatigue (36.3%), vomiting (18.8%), and decreased appetite (12.5%). Treatment-related grade ≥ 3 AEs and serious AEs were reported in 32.5% and 10.0% of patients, respectively. AEs led to dose interruptions in 22.5%, reductions in 11.3%, and discontinuations in 16.3% of patients. One patient died following serious AEs of deep vein thrombosis (treatment related) and respiratory failure (not treatment related). Objective response rate, disease control rate, and progression-free survival were as follows: 6.3%, 68.8%, 4.5 months (OC BRCA wild type); 3.3%, 76.7%, 3.9 months (OC BRCA mutation); 0%, 69.2%, 3.1 months (TNBC biomarker [CCNE1/MYC/MYCL1/MYCN] non-amplified [NA]); 0%, 50%, 2 months (TNBC biomarker amplified); 8.3%, 33.3%, 1.3 months (SCLC biomarker NA); and 0%, 33.3%, 1.2 months (SCLC biomarker amplified). CONCLUSION: Adavosertib monotherapy was tolerated and demonstrated some antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02482311; registered June 2015.

Adavosertib selectively inhibits Wee1, which regulates intra-S and G2/M cell-cycle checkpoints. This study investigated dosing schedules for adavosertib monotherapy, determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) in patients with advanced solid tumors.Patients received oral adavosertib qd or bid on a 5/9 schedule (5 days on treatment, 9 days off) in 14-day cycles, or qd on one of two 5/2 schedules (weekly, or for 2 of 3 weeks) in 21-day cycles. Safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic analyses were performed.Sixty-two patients (female, 64.5%; median age, 61.5 years; most common primary tumors: lung [24.2%], ovary [21.0%]) received treatment (qd schedules, n = 50; bid schedules, n = 12) for 1.8 months (median). Median time to maximum adavosertib concentration was 2.2-4.1 h; mean half-life was 5-12 h. Adverse events (AEs) caused dose reductions, interruptions and discontinuations in 17 (27.4%), 25 (40.3%) and 4 (6.5%) patients, respectively. Most common grade ≥ 3 AEs were anemia, neutropenia (each n = 9, 14.5%) and diarrhea (n = 8, 12.9%). Seven (11.3%) patients experienced 10 treatment-related serious AEs (pneumonia n = 2 [3.2%], dehydration n = 2 [3.2%], anemia n = 1 [1.6%], febrile neutropenia n = 1 [1.6%], and thrombocytopenia n = 1 [1.6%]). Overall objective response rate was 3.4% (2/58); disease control rate was 48.4% (30/62); median progression-free survival was 2.7 months.MTDs were 125 mg (bid 5/9) and 300 mg (qd 5/9 and 5/2 for 2 of 3 weeks); RP2D was 300 mg (qd 5/2 for 2 of 3 weeks). The safety profile was manageable, acceptable, and generally concordant with the known safety profile.

AIMS: Two phase 1 studies characterized the oral bioavailability of AZD4635 (potential anticancer therapy) and factors that may influence its pharmacokinetics (PKs; food, smoking, proton-pump inhibitors [PPIs] and CYP1A2 inhibitors) to support continued clinical development of AZD4635. METHODS: Study 1 (comparative PK study; nonsmokers) consists of Part A and Part B. Participants (fasted) in Part A were administered 50 mg of AZD4635 either as nanosuspension or capsule. In Part B, these participants were administered a 50-mg capsule either following a high-fat meal or with a PPI in the fasted state. In Study 2 (CYP1A2 mediated drug-drug interaction study), a 25-mg AZD4635 capsule was administered to smokers and nonsmokers (fasted) with or without 100 mg of fluvoxamine. RESULTS: In Study 1 (N = 21), AZD4635 exposure was comparable between the capsule and nanosuspension. The high-fat meal produced a 12% decrease in AUCinf , a ≥50% reduction in Cmax and delayed absorption (Tmax : 4.0 h vs 1.5 h) for the capsule. The PPI did not affect the oral bioavailability of the AZD4635 capsule. In Study 2 (N = 28), AZD4635 + fluvoxamine (compared with AZD4635 alone) produced ~5-fold increases in AUCinf , 2-fold increases in Cmax and prolonged AZD4635 elimination half-life in smokers (22.7 vs 9.0 h) and nonsmokers (22.4 vs 9.2 h). All treatment regimens were well tolerated. The most common adverse events included dizziness, nausea and headache. CONCLUSIONS: The high-fat meal reduced the rate but not the extent of AZD4635 absorption. The effect of gastric pH on AZD4635 was minimal. Smoking had no effect on the exposure (Cmax and AUCinf ) of AZD4635, while fluvoxamine increased AZD4635 Cmax and total exposure. No new safety concerns were identified.

Purpose: Immune-mediated adverse events (imAEs) may be associated with response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. We assessed the relationship between imAE development and efficacy in metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with durvalumab (anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 [PD-L1]) alone or in combination with tremelimumab (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4). Methods: The analysis used individual patient-level data from 307 and 310 patients in the monotherapy and combination arms of MYSTIC, respectively. We evaluated the association between treatment efficacy and development of imAEs using univariate and multivariate survival analyses. Using machine learning, we built a predictive model utilizing baseline clinical and laboratory features to identify patients at risk of developing imAEs and further evaluated patient survival based on a threshold index extracted from the model. Results: Patients who developed any grade of imAE had improved overall survival versus patients without (hazard ratio [HR] 0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41-0.62). imAE development was associated with improved overall survival (HR 0.54; 95% CI 0.44-0.66) in a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model considering patient demographic features and baseline characteristics. Higher odds of imAE development were observed (odds ratio 3.023; 95% CI: 1.56-5.83) in responders versus non-responders in patients treated with immunotherapy. Based on baseline characteristics, the random forest classification algorithm was used to formulate a predictive model to identify patients at increased risk of developing imAEs during treatment. Conclusion: Post-hoc exploratory analysis found that the efficacy of immunotherapy was improved in patients who developed on-treatment imAEs. This was independent of severity of imAEs or the need for steroid treatment, which is important in allowing patients to remain on treatment and derive optimal clinical benefit. Further research is warranted to establish the correlation between incidence of imAEs and efficacy in this patient population.

PURPOSE: This study assessed the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of adavosertib in combination with four chemotherapy agents commonly used in patients with primary platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Women with histologically or cytologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer with measurable disease were enrolled between January 2015 and January 2018 in this open-label, four-arm, multicenter, phase II study. Patients received adavosertib (oral capsules, 2 days on/5 days off or 3 days on/4 days off) in six cohorts from 175 mg once daily to 225 mg twice daily combined with gemcitabine, paclitaxel, carboplatin, or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. The primary outcome measurement was overall response rate. RESULTS: Three percent of patients (3/94) had confirmed complete response and 29% (27/94) had confirmed partial response. The response rate was highest with carboplatin plus weekly adavosertib, at 66.7%, with 100% disease control rate, and median progression-free survival of 12.0 months. The longest median duration of response was in the paclitaxel cohort (12.0 months). The most common grade ≥3 adverse events across all cohorts were neutropenia [45/94 (47.9%) patients], anemia [31/94 (33.0%)], thrombocytopenia [30/94 (31.9%)], and diarrhea and vomiting [10/94 (10.6%) each]. CONCLUSIONS: Adavosertib showed preliminary efficacy when combined with chemotherapy. The most promising treatment combination was adavosertib 225 mg twice daily on days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17 plus carboplatin every 21 days. However, hematologic toxicity was more frequent than would be expected for carboplatin monotherapy, and the combination requires further study to optimize the dose, schedule, and supportive medications.

BACKGROUND: Lorlatinib demonstrated efficacy (including intracranial activity) in patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase I/II study (NCT01970865). BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This analysis describes the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lorlatinib following single and multiple dosing. METHODS: This ongoing, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase I/II trial enrolled patients with ALK-positive or c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1)-positive advanced NSCLC. In phase I, patients received escalating doses of lorlatinib (10-200 mg orally once daily) and twice-daily doses of 35, 75, and 100 mg in continuous 21-day cycles. In phase II, lorlatinib was administered at a starting dose of 100 mg once daily in continuous 21-day cycles. Parameters investigated included the potential for lorlatinib to inhibit/induce cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A; the absorption/metabolism of lorlatinib and its major metabolite PF-06895751; and differences in these parameters between Asian and non-Asian patients. RESULTS: Data were available for 54 patients from phase I and 275 patients from phase II. Lorlatinib plasma exposure increased dose proportionally after single doses of 10-200 mg, and slightly less than dose proportionally after multiple doses. Lorlatinib clearance increased following multiple dosing compared with single dosing, indicating autoinduction. The area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time τ (the dosing interval; AUCτ) of PF-06895751 was approximately 80% higher than that of lorlatinib after multiple dosing. Lorlatinib exhibited brain penetration. Furthermore, no overt differences in single- and multiple-dose PK parameters between the Asian and non-Asian patients were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Lorlatinib is highly brain penetrant and exhibits autoinduction after multiple dosing. There appears to be no inherent differences in lorlatinib PK between healthy subjects and cancer patients, or between Asian and non-Asian patients. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01970865.

PURPOSE: The Wee1 kinase inhibitor adavosertib abrogates cell-cycle arrest, leading to cell death. Prior testing of twice-daily adavosertib in patients with advanced solid tumors determined the recommended phase II dose (RPh2D). Here, we report results for once-daily adavosertib. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 3 + 3 dose-escalation design was used, with adavosertib given once daily on days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12 in 21-day cycles. Molecular biomarkers of Wee1 activity, including tyrosine 15-phosphorylated Cdk1/2 (pY15-Cdk), were assessed in paired tumor biopsies. Whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing of remaining tumor tissue identified potential predictive biomarkers. RESULTS: Among the 42 patients enrolled, the most common toxicities were gastrointestinal and hematologic; dose-limiting toxicities were grade 4 hematologic toxicity and grade 3 fatigue. The once-daily RPh2D was 300 mg. Six patients (14%) had confirmed partial responses: four ovarian, two endometrial. Adavosertib plasma exposures were similar to those from twice-daily dosing. On cycle 1 day 8 (pre-dose), tumor pY15-Cdk levels were higher than baseline in four of eight patients, suggesting target rebound during the day 5 to 8 dosing break. One patient who progressed rapidly had a tumor WEE1 mutation and potentially compensatory PKMYT1 overexpression. Baseline CCNE1 overexpression occurred in both of two responding patients, only one of whom had CCNE1 amplification, and in zero of three nonresponding patients. CONCLUSIONS: We determined the once-daily adavosertib RPh2D and observed activity in patients with ovarian or endometrial carcinoma, including two with baseline CCNE1 mRNA overexpression. Future studies will determine whether CCNE1 overexpression is a predictive biomarker for adavosertib.

Background: Adenosine receptor type 2 (A2AR) inhibitor, AZD4635, has been shown to reduce immunosuppressive adenosine effects within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and to enhance the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors across various syngeneic models. This study aims at investigating anti-tumor activity of AZD4635 alone and in combination with an anti-PD-L1-specific antibody (anti-PD-L1 mAb) across various TME conditions and at identifying, via mathematical quantitative modeling, a therapeutic combination strategy to further improve treatment efficacy. Methods: The model is represented by a set of ordinary differential equations capturing: 1) antigen-dependent T cell migration into the tumor, with subsequent proliferation and differentiation into effector T cells (Teff), leading to tumor cell lysis; 2) downregulation of processes mediated by A2AR or PD-L1, as well as other immunosuppressive mechanisms; 3) A2AR and PD-L1 inhibition by, respectively, AZD4635 and anti-PD-L1 mAb. Tumor size dynamics data from CT26, MC38, and MCA205 syngeneic mice treated with vehicle, anti-PD-L1 mAb, AZD4635, or their combination were used to inform model parameters. Between-animal and between-study variabilities (BAV, BSV) in treatment efficacy were quantified using a non-linear mixed-effects methodology. Results: The model reproduced individual and cohort trends in tumor size dynamics for all considered treatment regimens and experiments. BSV and BAV were explained by variability in T cell-to-immunosuppressive cell (ISC) ratio; BSV was additionally driven by differences in intratumoral adenosine content across the syngeneic models. Model sensitivity analysis and model-based preclinical study simulations revealed therapeutic options enabling a potential increase in AZD4635-driven efficacy; e.g., adoptive cell transfer or treatments affecting adenosine-independent immunosuppressive pathways. Conclusions: The proposed integrative modeling framework quantitatively characterized the mechanistic activity of AZD4635 and its potential added efficacy in therapy combinations, across various immune conditions prevailing in the TME. Such a model may enable further investigations, via simulations, of mechanisms of tumor resistance to treatment and of AZD4635 combination optimization strategies.

Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and/or cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatments are associated with adverse events (AEs), which may be dependent on ICI dose. Applying a model-based meta-analysis to evaluate safety data from published clinical trials from 2005 to 2018, we analyzed the dose/exposure dependence of ICI treatment-related AE (trAE) and immune-mediated AE (imAE) rates. Unlike with PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy, CTLA-4 inhibitor monotherapy exhibited a dose/exposure dependence on most AE types evaluated. Furthermore, combination therapy with PD-1 inhibitor significantly strengthened the dependence of trAE and imAE rates on CTLA-4 inhibitor dose/exposure.

PURPOSE: To support future dosing recommendations, the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of adavosertib, a first-in-class, small-molecule reversible inhibitor of WEE1 kinase, was assessed in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS: In this Phase I, open-label, randomized, two-period, two-sequence crossover study, the pharmacokinetics of a single 300 mg adavosertib dose were investigated in fed versus fasted states. RESULTS: Compared with the fasted state, a high-fat, high-calorie meal (fed state) decreased adavosertib maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) by 16% and systemic exposure (area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC]) by 6%; AUC0-t decreased by 7% and time to maximum plasma concentration was delayed by 1.97 h (P = 0.0009). The 90% confidence interval of the geometric least-squares mean treatment ratio for AUC and AUC0-t was contained within the no-effect limits (0.8-1.25), while that of Cmax crossed the lower bound of the no-effect limits. Adverse events (AEs) related to adavosertib treatment were reported by 20 (64.5%) of the 31 patients treated in this study. Grade ≥ 3 AEs were reported by four (12.9%) patients (one in the fed state, three in the fasted state); two of these AEs were considered treatment-related by the investigator. Three serious AEs were reported in three (9.7%) patients; these were not considered treatment-related. No patients discontinued because of treatment-related AEs, and no new safety signals were reported. CONCLUSION: A high-fat meal did not have a clinically relevant effect on the systemic exposure of adavosertib, suggesting that adavosertib can be administered without regard to meals.

BACKGROUND: The WEE1 inhibitor adavosertib (AZD1775) has been investigated in Western patients. OBJECTIVE: This open-label Phase Ib study (NCT02341456) investigated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of adavosertib in combination with carboplatin alone or paclitaxel plus carboplatin in Asian patients with advanced solid tumors and defined the recommended Phase II dose. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Nineteen patients received adavosertib 175 mg twice daily (bid) for 2.5 days (five doses) in combination with carboplatin (AUC 5) alone or paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) plus carboplatin, or adavosertib 225 mg bid for 2.5 days in combination with paclitaxel plus carboplatin in 21-day cycles. Preliminary safety and dose-limiting toxicity analyses were performed and dose escalation/de-escalation conducted as appropriate. RESULTS: Adavosertib 175 mg bid for 2.5 days with carboplatin alone or paclitaxel plus carboplatin was considered tolerable. Two patients receiving adavosertib 225 mg bid in combination with paclitaxel plus carboplatin experienced dose-limiting toxicities (grade 4 sepsis; grade 5 acute respiratory distress syndrome); this regimen was not considered tolerable. Grade ≥ 3 adverse events reported most commonly in any cohort included: anemia; decreased white blood cell count; decreased neutrophil count; neutropenia; decreased platelet count; thrombocytopenia; and febrile neutropenia. Exposure to adavosertib, as determined by pharmacokinetic analysis, in Asian patients was higher than that previously seen in Western patients. A partial response occurred in 2/12 evaluable patients (16.7%) at the recommended Phase II dose. CONCLUSIONS: Adavosertib 175 mg bid for 2.5 days was chosen as the recommended Phase II dose in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in Asian patients.

Danvatirsen is a Generation 2.5 antisense oligonucleotide under clinical development. Population PK modelling was conducted using data from 3 available danvatirsen Phase I/II studies in oncology patients to investigate the impact of flat dosing on exposure compared to ideal body weight-based dosing. A total of 126 patients who received danvatirsen doses ranging from 1 to 4 mg/kg as monotherapy or in combination with durvalumab, most at 3 mg/kg (n = 70), was used in the danvatirsen population PK analysis. A 2-compartment model with linear elimination described the data well. Covariate analysis revealed ideal body weight was not a significant covariate on the PK of danvatirsen; nor was age, sex or race. The model-based simulation suggested that steady state weekly AUC and Cmax were very similar between 3 mg/kg and 200 mg flat dosing (geometric mean of AUC: 62.5 vs. 63.4 mg h/L and Cmax: 26.2 vs. 26.5 mg/L for two dose groups) with slightly less overall between-subject variability in the flat dosing regimen. The switch to flat dosing was approved by multiple regulatory agencies, including FDA, EMA, PMDA and ANSM. Several ongoing studies have been evaluating flat dosing. Interim analysis from an ongoing study (D5660C00016, NCT03421353) has shown the observed steady state concentration from 200 mg flat dose is in agreement with the model predictions. The population PK model could be further utilized in subsequent exposure-response efficacy and safety modelling.

Evaluation of the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of oral oncology drugs is critical to drug development, as food can mitigate or exacerbate toxicities and alter systemic exposure. Our aim is to expand on current US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance and provide data-driven food-effect study design recommendations specific to the oncology therapeutic area. Data for recently approved small-molecule oncology drugs was extracted from the clinical pharmacology review in the sponsor's FDA submission package. Information on subject selection, meal types, timing of the study relative to the pivotal trial, and study outcomes was analyzed. The number of subjects enrolled ranged from 12 to 60, and the majority of studies (19 of 29) were conducted in healthy volunteers. Using AstraZeneca cost data, healthy volunteer studies were estimated to cost 10-fold less than cancer patient studies. Nine of 29 (31%) studies included meals with multiple levels of fat content. Analysis of a subset of 16 drugs revealed that final results for the food-effect study were available before the start of the pivotal trial for only 2 drugs. Conducting small food-effect studies powered to estimate effect, rather than confirm no effect, with only a standardized high-fat meal according to FDA guidance may eliminate unnecessary studies, reduce cost, and improve efficiency in oncology drug development. Starting food-effect studies as early as possible is key to inform dosing in pivotal trials.

Purpose: The WEE1 tyrosine kinase regulates G2-M transition and maintains genomic stability, particularly in p53-deficient tumors which require DNA repair after genotoxic therapy. Thus, a need arises to exploit the role of WEE1 inhibition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) mostly driven by tumor-suppressor loss. This completed phase I clinical trial represents the first published clinical experience using the WEE1 inhibitor, AZD1775, with cisplatin and docetaxel.Patients and Methods: We implemented an open-label phase I clinical trial using a 3+3 dose-escalation design for patients with stage III/IVB HNSCC with borderline-resectable or -unresectable disease, but who were candidates for definitive chemoradiation. Escalating AZD1775 was administered orally twice a day over 2.5 days on the first week, then in combination with fixed cisplatin (25 mg/m2) and docetaxel (35 mg/m2) for 3 additional weeks. The primary outcome measure was adverse events to establish MTD. Secondary measures included response rates, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and genomic data.Results: The MTD for AZD1775 was established at 150 mg orally twice per day for 2.5 days. RECISTv1.1 responses were seen in 5 of 10 patients; histologic adjustment revealed three additional responders. The only drug-limiting toxicity was grade 3 diarrhea. The PK C8hr target of 240 nmol/L was achieved on day 4 at all three doses tested. Pharmacodynamic analysis revealed a reduction in pY15-Cdk, and increases in γH2AX, CC3, and RPA32/RPA2 were noted in responders versus nonresponders.Conclusions: The triplet combination of AZD1775, cisplatin, and docetaxel is safe and tolerable. Preliminary results show promising antitumor efficacy in advanced HNSCC, meriting further investigation at the recommended phase II dose. Clin Cancer Res; 24(12); 2740-8. ©2018 AACR.
