RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Filanesib (ARRY-520) is a highly selective inhibitor of kinesin spindle protein, which has demonstrated preclinical antimyeloma activity. METHODS: This open-label Phase 1/2 study determined the maximum tolerated dose of Filanesib administered on Days 1 and 2 of 14-Day Cycles in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and included expansion cohorts with and without dexamethasone (40 mg/week). Patients in the dose-escalation (N = 31) and Phase 2 single-agent (N = 32) cohorts had received prior bortezomib as well as prior thalidomide and/or lenalidomide. Patients in the Phase 2 Filanesib plus dexamethasone cohort (N = 55) had received prior alkylator therapy and had disease refractory to lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone. Prophylactic filgrastim was incorporated during dose escalation and was used throughout Phase 2. RESULTS: Patients in each cohort had received a median of ≥6 prior therapies. The most common dose-limiting toxicities were febrile neutropenia and mucosal inflammation. In Phase 2, Grade 3 and 4 cytopenias were reported in approximately 50% of patients. Nonhematologic toxicities were infrequent. Phase 2 response rates (partial responses or better) were 16% (single agent) and 15% (Filanesib plus dexamethasone). All responding patients had low baseline levels of α1-acid glycoprotein, a potential selective biomarker. CONCLUSIONS: Filanesib 1.50 mg/m2 /day administered with prophylactic filgrastim has a manageable safety profile and encouraging activity in heavily pretreated patients This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00821249.

BACKGROUND: Filanesib is a kinesin spindle protein inhibitor that has demonstrated encouraging activity in patients with recurrent/refractory multiple myeloma. Preclinical synergy with bortezomib was the rationale for the current phase 1 study. METHODS: The current study was a multicenter study with an initial dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose of 2 schedules of filanesib plus bortezomib with and without dexamethasone, followed by a dose-expansion phase. RESULTS: With the addition of prophylactic filgastrim, the maximum planned dose was attained: 1.3 mg/m2 /day of bortezomib plus 40 mg of dexamethasone on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle, with filanesib given intravenously either at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2 /day (schedule 1: days 1, 2, 15, and 16) or 3 mg/m2 /day (schedule 2: days 1 and 15). The most common adverse events (assessed for severity using version 4.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) were transient, noncumulative neutropenia and thrombocytopenia with grade 3/4 events reported in 44% (16% in cycle 1 with filgastrim) and 29% of patients, respectively. A low (≤11%) overall rate of nonhematological grade 3/4 toxicity was observed. With a median of 3 prior lines of therapy and 56% of patients with disease that was refractory to proteasome inhibitors, the overall response rate was 20% (55 patients), and was 29% in 14 patients with proteasome inhibitors-refractory disease receiving filanesib at a dose of ≥1.25 mg/m2 (duration of response, 5.2 to ≥21.2 months). CONCLUSIONS: The current phase 1 study established a dosing schedule for the combination of these agents that demonstrated a favorable safety profile with a low incidence of nonhematologic toxicity and manageable hematologic toxicity. The combination of filanesib, bortezomib, and dexamethasone appears to have durable activity in patients with recurrent/refractory multiple myeloma.

Purpose Filanesib (ARRY-520) is a highly selective, targeted inhibitor of kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitor that induces mitotic arrest and subsequent tumor cell death. This first-in-human Phase 1 study evaluated dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and determined a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for filanesib administered as a 1-h intravenous infusion on 2 treatment schedules in patients with advanced solid tumors. The pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of filanesib were also evaluated. Methods Filanesib was administered on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle (Initial Schedule) or Days 1 and 2 of each 2-week cycle (Alternate Schedule). A standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation design was employed. An expansion cohort was conducted at the MTD of the Initial Schedule. Filanesib PK was evaluated in plasma (both schedules) and urine (Initial Schedule only). Monopolar spindle formation was evaluated in biopsies taken from patients in the expansion cohort. Results Forty-one patients received filanesib. The MTD was equivalent for both the Initial and Alternate Schedules (2.50 mg/m(2)/cycle). The prevalence of neutropenia as a DLT for both schedules necessitated adding prophylactic filgrastim to another dose escalation on the Alternate Schedule (highest tolerated dose 3.20 mg/m(2)/cycle). Neurotoxicity related to filanesib was not observed. Dose-proportional increases in filanesib exposure were observed. The half-life for filanesib was ~70 h. Monopolar spindles in patient biopsy samples indicated KSP inhibition. Stable disease was the best tumor response observed in 18 % (7/39) of evaluable patients. Conclusion Filanesib provided exposures with acceptable tolerability and evidence of target-specific pharmacodynamic effects.

PURPOSE: Data suggest that activity of p38 MAPK and Tie2 kinases is dysregulated in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and may be targets for novel therapies. A phase I study of ARRY-614, an oral dual inhibitor of p38 MAPK and Tie2, was conducted in patients with low or intermediate-1 International Prognostic Scoring System risk MDS to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary responses by International Working Group 2006 criteria. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Forty-five patients received ARRY-614 either once daily or twice daily in dose escalation (400, 600, 900, or 1,200 mg once daily; 200 or 300 mg twice daily) or expansion cohorts. RESULTS: The 300 mg twice daily schedule was not tolerated, and an MTD was not reached for once daily dosing. Treatment-related adverse events were primarily grade 1-2, with the most common being rash, diarrhea, dry skin, fatigue and anorexia. Interpatient PK variability was high, although exposure was sufficient to achieve reduction in p38 MAPK activation in bone marrow and in the levels of circulating biomarkers. Disease responses were observed in 14 of 44 (32%) evaluable patients, 13 (93%) of whom had previously been treated with a hypomethylating agent. Responses were observed in all lineages, with 5 patients experiencing bilineage responses. Three of 25 red blood cell transfusion-dependent (TD) patients achieved transfusion independence (TI) and 5 of 7 platelet TD patients achieved TI. CONCLUSIONS: ARRY-614 was well tolerated and has sufficient activity to warrant further evaluation in this patient population. We recommend 1,200 mg once daily as the optimal dose for further study.

BACKGROUND: ARRY-520 selectively inhibits the mitotic kinesin spindle protein (KSP), which leads to abnormal monopolar spindle formation and apoptosis. METHODS: A phase 1 trial was conducted to establish the safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ARRY-520 given as a 1-hour infusion in either a single dose or on a day 1, 3, and 5 divided-dose schedule per cycle in patients with advanced or refractory myeloid leukemias. Additional objectives were to characterize pharmacokinetics, assess preliminary clinical activity, and explore biomarkers of KSP inhibition with ARRY-520. A total of 36 patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (n = 34) or myelodysplastic syndromes (n = 2) with a median age of 66 years (range, 21-88 years) were enrolled: 15 in the single-dose schedule (dose levels: 2.5, 3.75, 4.5, and 5.6 mg/m(2)) and 21 in the divided-dose schedule (dose levels: 0.8, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8 mg/m(2)/day). RESULTS: The MTD was 4.5 mg/m(2) total dose per cycle for both dose schedules. Dose-limiting toxicities included mucositis, exfoliative rash, hand-foot syndrome, and hyperbilirubinemia. Grades 3 or 4 reversible drug-related myelosuppression were observed in 33 of 36 patients. Plasma pharmacokinetic analyses revealed low clearance of ARRY-520 (~3 L/hour), a volume of distribution of ~450 L, and a median terminal half-life of >90 hours. Monopolar spindles were observed in blood mononuclear cells, through use of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole nucleic acid stain and antitubulin antibodies. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of the relative lack of clinical activity, further development of ARRY-520 as an antileukemic agent was halted. (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT00637052).
