RESUMO
BACKGROUND: This was an open-label, multicenter, single-arm phase Ib dose-escalation study of oral LCL161 administered in combination with oral topotecan in patients with relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and select gynecological cancers. METHODS: Cohorts of 3-6 patients initiated treatment with LCL161 and topotecan in escalating doses. LCL161 was administered orally on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle; topotecan was administered orally for the first 5 days of each 21-day cycle. RESULTS: A total of 35 patients were enrolled in 6 cohorts; 30 patients were female; 4 patients had SCLC and 19 patients had ovarian cancer. Median prior lines of therapy were 3 (1-10). Median duration of treatment was 7.1 weeks (0.1-174). The most frequent grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were thrombocytopenia (51.43%) and anemia (31.43%). ORR was 9.7%; 58% of patients had SD. The study was stopped early before the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) were determined. CONCLUSION: The addition of LCL161 to oral topotecan caused more myelosuppression when dosed together than what was associated with either drug alone. Moreover, the drug combination did not improve outcomes. The study was terminated early (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02649673).

BACKGROUND: Tumor mutation burden (TMB), a biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) response, is reported by both blood- and tissue-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) vendors. However, the agreement between TMB from blood (bTMB) and tissue (tTMB) in real-world settings, both in absolute value and association with CPI response, is not known. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study utilizes Sarah Cannon's precision medicine platform, Genospace, to harmonize clinico-genomic data from 17 206 patients with cancer with NGS results from September 2015 to August 2021. A subset of patients have both bTMB and tTMB results. Statistical analyses are performed in R and include (1) correlation (r) and concordance (ρ) between patient-matched bTMB-tTMB pairs, (2) distribution of total bTMB and tTMB values, and (3) association of bTMB and tTMB with time to CPI therapy failure. RESULTS: In 410 patient-matched bTMB-tTMB pairs, the median bTMB (m = 10.5 mut/Mb) was significantly higher than the median tTMB (m = 6.0 mut/Mb, P < .001) leading to conflicting "high" and "low" statuses in over one-third of cases at a threshold of 10 mut/Mb (n = 410). Significant differences were observed in the distribution of bTMB values from blood-NGS vendors, with guardant health (GH) reporting higher (m = 10.5 mut/Mb, n = 2183) than Foundation Medicine (FMI, m = 3.8 mut/Mb, n = 462, P < .001). bTMB from GH required a higher threshold (≥40 mut/Mb) than bTMB from FMI (≥12 mut/Mb) in order to be associated with CPI response. CONCLUSIONS: This study uncovers variability in bTMB reporting among commercial NGS platforms, thereby evidencing a need for assay-specific thresholds in identifying patients who may respond to CPI therapy.

BACKGROUND: This randomized, double-blinded, phase II trial evaluated the efficacy of carboplatin and pemetrexed plus either apatorsen, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting heat shock protein (Hsp) 27 mRNA, or placebo in patients with previously untreated metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: Patients were randomized 1:1 to Arm A (carboplatin/pemetrexed plus apatorsen) or Arm B (carboplatin/pemetrexed plus placebo). Treatment was administered in 21-day cycles, with restaging every two cycles, until progression or intolerable toxicity. Serum Hsp27 levels were analyzed at baseline and during treatment. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate, and toxicity. RESULTS: The trial enrolled 155 patients (median age 66 years; 44% Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0). Toxicities were similar in the 2 treatment arms; cytopenias, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue were the most frequent treatment-related adverse events. Median PFS and OS were 6.0 and 10.8 months, respectively, for Arm A, and 4.9 and 11.8 months for Arm B (differences not statistically significant). Overall response rates were 27% for Arm A and 32% for Arm B. Sixteen patients (12%) had high serum levels of Hsp27 at baseline. In this small group, patients who received apatorsen had median PFS of 10.8 months, and those who received placebo had median PFS 4.8 months. CONCLUSION: The addition of apatorsen to carboplatin and pemetrexed was well tolerated but did not improve outcomes in patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC cancer in the first-line setting. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This randomized, double-blinded, phase II trial evaluated the efficacy of carboplatin and pemetrexed plus either apatorsen, an antisense oligonucleotide targeting heat shock protein 27 mRNA, or placebo in patients with previously untreated metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The addition of apatorsen to carboplatin and pemetrexed was well tolerated but did not improve outcomes in patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC cancer in the first-line setting.

BACKGROUND: The current phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study was conducted to establish the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile, and preliminary antitumor activity of the novel mitochondrial inhibitor ME-344 in patients with refractory solid tumors. METHODS: Patients with refractory solid tumors were treated in a 3 + 3 dose escalation design. ME-344 was administered via intravenous infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of the first 28-day cycle and weekly thereafter. Pharmacokinetics was assessed on days 1 and 15 of the first cycle. RESULTS: A total of 30 patients (median age, 65 years; 67% of whom were female) received ME-344. There were 5 dose-limiting toxicities reported. Four patients developed grade 3 neuropathy (2 patients each at doses of 15 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg) and 1 patient treated at a dose of 10 mg/kg developed a grade 3 acute myocardial infarction (toxicity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [version 4.03]). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was defined as 10 mg/kg weekly. The most common adverse events were nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. At the MTD of 10 mg/kg, the maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) was 25.8 µg/mL and the area under the concentration curve from time zero to infinity was 25.9 hour*µg/mL. One patient with small cell lung cancer achieved a partial response for ≥ 52 weeks. Four patients had prolonged stable disease (1 patient each with urothelial carcinoma [47 weeks], carcinoid tumor [≥ 40 weeks], cervical leiomyosarcoma [39 weeks], and cervical cancer [≥ 31 weeks]). CONCLUSIONS: The once-weekly administration of ME-344 was generally well tolerated in the current study, a first-in-human study; dose-limiting neuropathy was noted, but not at the MTD. Exposures at the 10-mg/kg dose level suggest a sufficient therapeutic index. The preliminary clinical activity as a monotherapy supports the further clinical development of ME-344 in combination with chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of linsitinib (OSI-906), a dual inhibitor of IGFR and IR tyrosine kinase activity, and everolimus as treatment for patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). METHODS: Eligible adult patients with refractory mCRC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, and adequate end-organ function received escalating doses of OSI-906 and everolimus in a 3 + 3 design. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, with response evaluations every 8 weeks. RESULTS: Eighteen patients with metastatic CRC were treated. There were no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the first dose level (DL, OSI-906 50 mg BID; everolimus 5 mg QD). At DL2 (OSI-906 100 mg BID; everolimus 10 mg QD, n =6), three patients had DLTs considered related to everolimus (grade 3 mucositis, 2; grade 3 thrombocytopenia, 1). An amendment introduced DL2a (OSI-906 100 mg BID; everolimus 5 mg QD, n =5); DLTs were seen in two patients (one patient each: grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; inability to receive 75 % of doses due to neutropenia/thrombocytopenia). DL1 was the MTD; a total of 7 patients were treated at this dose. Common adverse events across all DLs included grade 1/2 fatigue (50 %) and anorexia (50 %). There were no objective responses to treatment; median time of study treatment was 7.6 weeks (range: 3.9-53 weeks). CONCLUSIONS: The MTD of OSI-906 and everolimus was 50 mg BID and 5 mg QD, respectively. No indications of clinical activity were observed in refractory mCRC patients.

PURPOSE: LY2090314 (LY) is a glycogen synthase kinase 3 inhibitor with preclinical efficacy in xenograft models when combined with platinum regimens. A first-in-human phase 1 dose-escalation study evaluated the combination of LY with pemetrexed/carboplatin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-one patients with advanced solid tumors received single-dose LY monotherapy lead-in and 37 patients received LY (10-120 mg) plus pemetrexed/carboplatin (500 mg/m(2) and 5-6 AUC, respectively) across 8 dose levels every 21 days. Primary objective was maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determination; secondary endpoints included safety, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and beta-catenin pharmacodynamics. RESULTS: MTD of LY with pemetrexed/carboplatin was 40 mg. Eleven dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred in ten patients. DLTs during LY monotherapy occurred at ≥ 40 mg: grade 2 visual disturbance (n = 1) and grade 3/4 peri-infusional thoracic pain during or shortly post infusion (n = 4; chest, upper abdominal, and back pain). Ranitidine was added after de-escalation to 80 mg LY to minimize peri-infusional thoracic pain. Following LY with pemetrexed/carboplatin therapy, DLTs included grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (n = 4) and grade 4 neutropenia (n = 1). Best overall response by RECIST included 5 confirmed partial responses (non-small cell lung cancer [n = 3], mesothelioma, and breast cancer) and 19 patients having stable disease. Systemic LY exposure was approximately linear over dose range studied. Transient upregulation of beta-catenin measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) occurred at 40 mg LY. CONCLUSIONS: The initial safety profile of LY2090314 was established. MTD LY dose with pemetrexed/carboplatin is 40 mg IV every 3 weeks plus ranitidine. Efficacy of LY plus pemetrexed/carboplatin requires confirmation in randomized trials.

Introduction The PI3 kinase (PI3K) pathway is a commonly dysregulated pathway in cancers and is an attractive target for antitumor therapy. BEZ235 is a potent, highly specific and selective dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor. Methods Patients were enrolled in a 3 + 3 dose escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), toxicities, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BEZ235 when administered twice-daily as an oral sachet. For intrapatient PK comparison, patients were to receive a lead in of the total daily dose in a QD schedule for the first 8 days of the initial 28 day cycle. Patients continued treatment until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurred. Results Thirty-three patients received BEZ235. Initial dose levels of 200 and 400 mg BID had no DLTs. At the 600 mg BID dose level with 1200 mg QD lead in dose two DLTs of grade 3 mucositis occurred early in the first treatment cycle, the lead-in QD dosing was eliminated. Fatigue and mucositis limited dosing at 600 mg BID in subsequent patients. The 400 mg BID dose level was re-explored, with DLTs of grade 3 hyperglycemia, dehydration, fatigue, and grade 3 thrombocytopenia. Twelve patients were enrolled at an intermediate dose of 300 mg BID; a grade 3 mucositis DLT was reported in 1 patient, and this dose was declared the MTD. Preliminary PK data demonstrate a consistent increase in PK parameters (Cmax and AUC) with dose level compared to QD dosing. Fifteen patients experienced stable disease as their best response, including 10 (colorectal [4 patients], endometrial [3 patients], carcinoid NOS, pancreas, and melanoma) who had disease control for ≥16 weeks. Conclusions The recommended dose of BEZ235 administered BID as an oral sachet formulation is 300 mg BID. Toxicities seen have been reported for other dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors.

OBJECTIVE: VS-6063 (also known as defactinib or PF-04554878) is a second-generation inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and proline-rich tyrosine kinase-2 (Pyk2). This phase I dose-escalation study was conducted in patients with advanced solid malignancies. METHODS: Using a traditional 3 + 3 design, VS-6063 was administered orally twice daily (b.i.d.) in 21-day cycles to cohorts of three to six patients. In cycle 1, a lead-in dose was administered to assess single-dose pharmacokinetics; steady-state pharmacokinetics was assessed after 15 days of continuous dosing. Dose escalation was performed in the fasted state, and repeated in two additional cohorts in the fed state. RESULTS: Forty-six patients were treated across nine dose levels (12.5-750 mg b.i.d.). Dose-limiting toxicities, comprising headache (n = 1), fatigue (n = 1) and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (n = 3), occurred at the 300- or 425-mg b.i.d. dose level and were reversible. Frequent adverse events included nausea (37 %), fatigue (33 %), vomiting (28 %), diarrhea (22 %) and headache (22 %). A maximum-tolerated dose was not defined. Dose escalation was stopped at the 750-mg b.i.d. dose due to decreased serum exposure in the 500- and 750-mg versus 300- and 425-mg groups. Food delayed the time to peak serum concentration without affecting serum drug exposure. No radiographic responses were reported. Disease stabilization at ~12 weeks occurred in six of 37 (16 %) patients receiving doses ≥100 mg b.i.d. CONCLUSIONS: VS-6063 has an acceptable safety profile. Treatment-related adverse events were mild to moderate, and reversible. The recommended phase II fasting dose of VS-6063 is 425 mg b.i.d.

BACKGROUND: This phase I study determined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AUY922 with capecitabine in advanced solid tumors. METHODS: Capecitabine 1000 mg/m(2) PO BID was administered with escalating doses of AUY922 IV; the MTD of AUY922 was combined with capecitabine 1250 mg/m(2) (DL6). RESULTS: 23 patients were treated at 5 dose levels (22 mg/m(2)-70 mg/m(2)). No DLTs were observed until DL6 (grade 3 diarrhea). Reversible vision darkening was seen in 26%. Four patients had partial response; 2 previously progressed on fluorouracil. Eight patients had stable disease (median 25.5 weeks). CONCLUSION: AUY922 plus capecitabine was well-tolerated up to 70 mg/m(2) with encouraging preliminary efficacy.

BACKGROUND: ME-143, a second-generation tumor-specific NADH oxidase inhibitor, is broadly active against human cancers in vitro and in vivo. This first-in-human dose-escalation study evaluated the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ME-143 in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS: Patients with advanced solid tumors were treated in a 3 + 3 escalation design. ME-143 was administered via intravenous infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of the first 28-day cycle, and weekly thereafter; the final cohort received twice-weekly treatment. Samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were collected during cycle 1. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS: Eighteen patients were treated: 2.5 mg/kg (n = 3); 5 mg/kg (n = 3); 10 mg/kg (n = 3); 20 mg/kg (n = 6); 20 mg/kg twice-weekly (n = 3). There were no DLTs observed. Nearly all treatment-related toxicities were grade 1/2, specifically (all grades) nausea (22 %) and fatigue (17 %). Two patients experienced infusion reactions at the 20 mg/kg dose level, one of which was grade 4. Stable disease was documented in three patients with colorectal cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and anal cancer. Pharmacokinetic exposures were linear and dose-dependent, with a half-life of approximately 5 h. CONCLUSIONS: ME-143 was well-tolerated when administered intravenously at the maximally administered/recommended phase 2 dose of 20 mg/kg once weekly to patients with advanced solid tumors. Though limited clinical activity was observed with monotherapy, inhibitors of tumor-specific NADH oxidase such as ME-143 may derive their greatest benefit in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy.

INTRODUCTION: As angiogenic pathways have become important targets for inhibition of tumor growth, we examined the concept of dual pathway blockade by small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial and epidermal growth factor receptors. METHODS: Escalating doses of pazopanib (400-800 mg once daily [QD]) plus erlotinib (100-150 mg QD) doses were evaluated in cohorts of 3-6 adults with advanced solid tumors. Twelve additional patients were enrolled in an expansion cohort to confirm the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). RESULTS: The MTD, defined during assessment of 20 patients, was pazopanib 600 mg plus erlotinib 150 mg. Two dose-limiting toxicities, rash and elevated liver enzymes, occurred at pazopanib 800 mg and erlotinib 150 mg. Overall, 30 % and 27 % of patients required dose interruption of pazopanib or erlotinib, respectively; 15 % of patients required a dose reduction of erlotinib to manage toxicities. The most common adverse events in patients treated with any dose regimen of pazopanib plus erlotinib (N = 33) were diarrhea, rash, nausea, and decreased appetite. The adverse-event profile of the combination did not appear to differ from that of each compound administered alone. Coadministration of pazopanib 600 mg QD and erlotinib 150 mg QD did not consistently affect the pharmacokinetics of either compound relative to that observed for either compound administered alone. Of 26 patients evaluated for efficacy, 3 (12 %; all non-small-cell lung cancer) had partial response and 10 (38 %) had stable disease. CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant administration of pazopanib 600 mg and erlotinib 150 mg is feasible, with a manageable toxicity profile. These results support further clinical development of the pazopanib-erlotinib combination.

PURPOSE: To investigate pharmacokinetics (PK) of encapsulated CPT-11, released CPT-11 and the active metabolite SN-38 following administration of IHL-305 and to identify factors that may influence IHL-305 PK. METHODS: Plasma samples from 39 patients with solid tumors were collected in a phase I study. IHL-305 was administered as a 1 h IV infusion with doses ranging from 3.5 to 210 mg/m(2). Plasma concentrations of encapsulated CPT-11, released CPT-11 and SN-38 were used to develop a population PK model using NONMEM®. RESULTS: PK of encapsulated CPT-11 was described by 1-compartment model with nonlinear clearance and PK of released CPT-11 was described by a 1-compartment model with linear clearance for all patients. PK of the active metabolite SN-38 was described by a 2-compartment model with linear clearance for all patients. Covariate analysis revealed that gender was a significant covariate for volume of distribution of encapsulated CPT-11. Vencap in male patients is 1.5-fold higher compared with female patients. CONCLUSIONS: The developed population PK modeling approach is useful to predict PK exposures of encapsulated and released drug and can be applied to the more than 300 other nanoparticle formulations of anticancer agents that are currently in development. The effect of gender on PK of IHL-305 needs to be further evaluated.

Romidepsin is a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor; preclinical studies showed potential synergy with the nucleoside analog gemcitabine. This phase 1 trial was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose for two schedules of romidepsin plus gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors in which gemcitabine had previously demonstrated clinical activity. The recommended phase 2 dose was 12 mg/m(2) romidepsin plus 800 mg/m(2) gemcitabine on days 1 and 15 every 28 days. Results suggest additive hematologic toxicities of romidepsin plus gemcitabine, but the level of antitumor activity observed warrants more formal trials of this combination to further assess safety and efficacy.

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.

PURPOSE: To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), safety, and pharmacokinetic profile of ispinesib when administered as a 1-h intravenous infusion weekly for three consecutive weeks of a 28 day treatment period to patients with advanced solid tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Thirty patients were enrolled using an initial accelerated dose-escalation phase followed by a standard dose-escalation phase at doses ranging from 1-8 mg/m(2)/week. Pharmacokinetic samples, skin punch biopsies, and tumor biopsies (in patients with accessible tumor) were obtained during cycle 1 of treatment. Disease assessment was performed every two treatment cycles. RESULTS: The MTD was defined as 7 mg/m(2) administered as a 1-h infusion weekly for three consecutive weeks of a 28 day schedule. The MTD was exceeded at 8 mg/m(2) due to DLTs of grade 2 (one patient) and grade 3 neutropenia (one patient) that resulted in the inability to administer the Day 15 dose in Cycle 1. The neutrophil nadir occurred at approximately Day 8 with a 3-7 day recovery period. The most common toxicities were nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and neutropenia. Alopecia, mucositis, and neuropathy were not observed. Stable disease was reported as the best response to treatment in nine patients. CONCLUSION: The recommended dose of ispinesib is 7 mg/m(2) over 1 h weekly for three consecutive weeks of a 28 day treatment cycle.

BACKGROUND: Vatalanib is an orally active, small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). Bevacizumab is also an angiogenesis inhibitor, but it possesses a different mechanism of action. This phase I study was conducted to determine the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum-tolerated doses, and recommended phase II doses of the combination of vatalanib and bevacizumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Treatment cycles were 4 weeks in length. Patients received oral vatalanib once or twice daily continuously. Bevacizumab was administered intravenously starting on day 15 of cycle 1, and dosing was repeated at 2-week intervals in patients with at least stable disease for 4 cycles. After 4 cycles, only patients with a partial or complete response continued treatment with the combination of vatalanib and bevacizumab. Patients with stable disease were allowed to continue single-agent vatalanib from cycle 5 until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. RESULTS: A total of 27 patients received 93 cycles of treatment. Dose escalation was difficult due to enhanced toxicities (primarily proteinuria and hypertension) with the regimen that required numerous dose modifications. Interruption of vatalanib and bevacizumab dosing due to proteinuria occurred in 4 patients enrolled at dose level 3, with 1 of these patients developing grade 3 nephrotic range proteinuria. As a result, further dose escalation with the combination regimen was abandoned. CONCLUSIONS: Further development of bevacizumab and oral VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor combination regimens is questionable due to the additive toxicities that occur; future investigations should proceed with caution.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of orally administered panobinostat with gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients received oral panobinostat administered 2 or 3 times weekly (continuous or intermittent dosing in combination with intravenous gemcitabine administered on days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days or on days 1 and 8 every 21 days). Toxicity assessments were ongoing, and disease assessments were repeated every 2 treatment cycles. RESULTS: A total of 63 cycles of study treatment were administered to 17 patients over 5 different dose levels. Dose-limiting toxicities occurred at all dose levels. In all instances, dose-limiting toxicities were due to grade 4 myelosuppression or myelosuppression warranting dose modifications during the first treatment cycle. Nonhematologic toxicities were mild to moderate in intensity and consisted of anorexia, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and rash. One patient with ovarian cancer had an unconfirmed partial response, and 5 patients had stable disease lasting more than 4 cycles. CONCLUSION: Dosing of the combination regimen of panobinostat and gemcitabine is limited by myelosuppression. The recommended doses for further study are intermittent oral panobinostat administered at a dose of 10 mg 3 times weekly for 2 weeks in combination with gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 21 days.

PURPOSE: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing is being incorporated into routine standard of care for patients with cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) are approved for use in both tumor-specific and tumor-agnostic indications. We sought to determine tumor type-specific or tumor-agnostic correlations between mutations detected by NGS and response to CPIs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 26,004 patient records with NGS data available was conducted. Time to treatment failure and overall survival analyses were performed. Hazard ratios and associated statistics were computed in the R programming language. The study was considered exempt from internal review board review and data were considered nonhuman subjects. RESULTS: Response to CPIs varied between tumor types with melanoma and lung cancer performing relatively better on CPIs than other tumor types. Within tumor types, response to CPIs was stratified by mutations in specific genes. Tumor-agnostic markers including high tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability-high were also associated with longer time to treatment failure on CPIs. Importantly, within the high tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability-high groups, mutations in individual genes correlate with response to CPIs. CONCLUSION: The results from commercial NGS panels may be used to stratify patients for response to CPIs. In tumors where CPIs show relatively low efficacy, there may be distinct patient populations-based on gene mutation status-that are predicted to have better response to CPIs. Likewise, there may be distinct patient populations who do relatively worse on CPIs within tumor types known to respond well to CPIs.

PURPOSE: Molecular biomarkers informing disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions in patients with breast cancer are being uncovered by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. In this study, we survey how NGS is used for patients with breast cancer in real-world settings with a focus on physician behaviors and sequencing results. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with breast cancer who received NGS testing from commercial vendors as part of standard of care from 2014 to 2019. A total of 2,635 NGS reports from 2,316 unique breast cancer patients were assessed. Hormone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 statuses were abstracted from patient medical records. Comparative gene amplification and mutation frequencies were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and Lin's concordance statistics. RESULTS: The number of physicians ordering NGS tests for patients with breast cancer increased more than six-fold from 2014 to 2019. Tissue- and plasma-based tests were ordered roughly equally by 2019, with plasma-based testing ordered most frequently in hormone receptor-positive subtypes. Patients with triple-negative breast cancer were most likely to receive NGS testing. Gene amplifications including ERBB2 were detected less frequently in our real-world data set as compared to previous genomic landscape studies, whereas the opposite was true for gene mutations including ESR1. Pathogenic mutations in the PI3K pathway (38.6%) and DNA damage repair pathway (11.0%) were frequently reported. Alterations were also reported across other cellular pathways. CONCLUSION: Overall, we found that an increasing number of physicians in community settings are adopting NGS in the care of patients with breast cancer. Discrepancies between our real-world NGS data and previous genomic landscape studies are likely owed to the prevalence of plasma-based testing in community oncology clinics, as the reference data were from tissue-based NGS alone.

INTRODUCTION: This phase I study evaluated the safety, tolerability, preliminary antitumor activity, and pharmacokinetic interaction of weekly topotecan (days 1 and 8) in combination with pemetrexed (day 1 only) in patients with advanced solid tumors. METHODS: Patients received topotecan (3.0-4.0 mg/m(2) i.v. days 1 and 8) and pemetrexed (375-500 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1) over 21-day cycles. Patients were accrued across five different dose levels and were observed for safety, tolerability, and preliminary activity. RESULTS: Twenty-six patients received 120 cycles of pemetrexed and topotecan, including five patients who received 8, 8, 10, 12, and 17 cycles without dose reductions, confirming a lack of cumulative myelosuppression. Four patients received topotecan (4.0 mg/m(2) i.v.) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m(2) i.v.), but experienced two dose-limiting toxicities (febrile neutropenia, grade 4 thrombocytopenia). As a result, the topotecan (3.5 mg/m(2) i.v.) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m(2) i.v.) group was expanded to 12 patients. The only grade 3 or 4 nonhematologic toxicity was one episode of grade 3 fatigue; no grade 3 or 4 nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, mucositis, or rash was reported. One non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient (12 months) and one soft tissue sarcoma patient (6 months) achieved a partial response. CONCLUSIONS: Weekly topotecan plus every-3-week pemetrexed was well tolerated and active. Full doses of topotecan plus pemetrexed caused brief reversible myelosuppression with minimal dose delays/reductions; no grade 3 or 4 nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, mucositis, or rash was reported. All six NSCLC patients at the recommended phase II dose had at least stable disease as a best response, including one partial response lasting 12 months. There was no evidence of an effect of pemetrexed on topotecan pharmacokinetics. Collectively, these data suggest that further phase II exploration of weekly topotecan plus every-3-week pemetrexed for advanced malignancies is indicated.
