ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Entinostat is an oral inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases intended for endocrine therapy-resistant patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) advanced or metastatic breast cancer (BC). We examined the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of entinostat monotherapy and combined entinostat/exemestane in Japanese patients.METHODS:
This phase 1 study (3 + 3 dose-escalation design) enrolled postmenopausal women with advanced/metastatic HR+ BC previously treated with nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of entinostat monotherapy (3 mg/qw, 5 mg/qw, or 10 mg/q2w) and entinostat+exemestane (5 mg/qw + 25 mg/qd) were assessed. Pharmacokinetics, lysine acetylation (Ac-K), and T-cell activation markers were measured at multiple time points.RESULTS:
Twelve patients were enrolled. No DLTs or grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) occurred. Drug-related AEs (≥ 2 patients) during DLT observation were hypophosphatemia, nausea, and platelet count decreased. Six patients (50%) achieved stable disease (SD) for ≥ 6 months, including one treated for > 19 months. Median progression-free survival was 13.9 months (95% CI 1.9-not calculable); median overall survival was not reached. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve and Ac-K in peripheral blood CD19+ B cells increased dose-proportionally. The changing patterns of entinostat concentrations and Ac-K levels were well correlated. T-cell activation markers increased over time; CD69 increased more in patients with SD ≥ 6 months vs. SD < 6 months.CONCLUSIONS:
Entinostat monotherapy and combined entinostat/exemestane were well tolerated in Japanese patients, with no additional safety concerns compared with previous reports. The correlation between pharmacokinetics and Ac-K in peripheral blood CD19+ B cells, and also T-cell activation markers, merits further investigation.
