RESUMO
PURPOSE: To determine the toxicity profile, dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABT-751 administered orally once daily for 21 days, repeated every 28 days in a pediatric population. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients who were < or = 18 years with relapsed or refractory solid tumors and who were able to swallow capsules were eligible. The starting dose was 75 mg/m(2)/d (n = 3) and was escalated to 100 (n = 6), 130 (n = 5), and 165 (n = 3) mg/m(2)/d in cohorts of three to six patients. The MTD was determined from DLTs occurring during the first treatment cycle. RESULTS: Nineteen children (median age, 13 years; range, 5-18 years) were enrolled, and 17 were evaluable for toxicity. Diagnoses included neuroblastoma (n = 9), sarcomas (n = 9), and other solid tumors (n = 1). DLTs included fatigue, sensory neuropathy, transient hypertension, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, abdominal pain, and constipation. The MTD of ABT-751 administered daily for 21 days every 28 days was 100 mg/m(2)/d. Non-DLT at the MTD included bone marrow suppression, gastrointestinal toxicities (anorexia, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation), and sensory and motor neuropathies. The median number of cycles administered was one (range, one to five). Tolerance of repeated treatment cycles was poor. CONCLUSION: Fatigue, hematologic, and gastrointestinal toxicities limited the tolerability of ABT-751 administered to children on the once daily for 21 days every 28 days schedule. The MTD in children with solid tumors (100 mg/m(2)/d daily for 21 days) was similar to the recommended dose in adults with solid tumors (200 mg fixed dose) receiving the same dosing schedule.

PURPOSE: To determine the toxicity profile, dose-limiting toxicities, and maximum tolerated dose of ABT-751 administered orally once daily for 7 days, repeated every 21 days. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients who were =18 years of age, with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, and who were able to swallow capsules were eligible. The starting dose was 100 mg/m(2)/d (n = 3) and was escalated to 130 mg/m(2)/d (n = 6), 165 mg/m(2)/d (n = 6), 200 mg/m(2)/d (n = 6), and 250 mg/m(2)/d (n = 2) in cohorts of three to six patients. The maximum tolerated dose was determined from dose-limiting toxicities occurring during the first treatment cycle. RESULTS: Twenty-four children (median age, 13 years; range, 4-18 years) were enrolled; 23 were evaluable for toxicity. Diagnoses included neuroblastoma (n = 8), sarcomas (n = 8), primary brain tumors (n = 2), Wilms' tumor (n = 2), and other solid tumors (n = 3). Dose-limiting toxicities (grade 3 sensory and motor neuropathy, grade 3 hypertension, and grade 3 fatigue) were observed in patients enrolled at the 250 mg/m(2)/d dose level. The maximum tolerated dose of ABT-751 administered daily for 7 days every 21 days was 200 mg/m(2)/d. Non-dose-limiting toxicities at the maximum tolerated dose included anemia, fatigue, peripheral sensory neuropathy, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, anorexia, fever, and weight loss. Myelosuppression was minimal at the maximum tolerated dose. The median number of cycles administered is 2 (range, 1-50). No significant ABT-751-related cumulative toxicities were observed. CONCLUSION: ABT-751 is well tolerated in children. The recommended dose for phase 2 trials in solid tumors is 200 mg/m(2)/d administered orally, daily for 7 days every 21 days. This dose is >40% higher than the maximum tolerated dose in adults receiving the same dosing schedule.

PURPOSE: To describe the pharmacokinetics of orally administered ABT-751 and its conjugated metabolites in children with neuroblastoma and other solid tumors and to relate pharmacokinetic parameters to toxicity and therapeutic outcomes. METHODS: Patients (median age, 11 years) with neuroblastoma (n = 37) or other solid tumors (n = 25) had pharmacokinetic sampling after the first dose of ABT-751 (75-250 mg/m(2)/day) on a 7-day or 21-day schedule. ABT-751 and its glucuronide and sulfate metabolites were quantified with an HPLC/MS/MS assay. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived with non-compartmental methods. The relative bioavailability of more water soluble capsule and suspension formulations was assessed. RESULTS: ABT-751 peaked in plasma at 2 h and declined monoexponentially with a t (1/2) of 5.1 h. The apparent clearance was 33 ml/min/m(2) and was age-independent. The AUC(0-infinity) increased in proportion to the dose, and at 200 mg/m(2) the median AUC(0-infinity) was 91 mcg h/ml and the C (ave) was 3.9 mcg/ml. Inter-and intra-patient variability was low. The metabolites were detected in plasma 30 min post-dose and peaked 3-5 h after the dose. The glucuronide:sulfate molar AUC(0-infinity) ratio was 0.57. Less than 1% of the dose was excreted in urine as parent drug; 13% of the dose was excreted as sulfate metabolite and 10% as glucuronide metabolite. The relative bioavailability of the water soluble capsule and suspension formulations was 105 and 93%, respectively. AUC(0-infinity) was higher in patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicity. CONCLUSIONS: Oral ABT-751 pharmacokinetics was dose-proportional and age-independent with minimal intra- and inter-patient variability in children.

PURPOSE: To determine the toxicity profile, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of cediranib administered orally, once daily, continuously in children and adolescents with solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Children and adolescents with refractory solid tumors, excluding primary brain tumors, were eligible. DLT at the starting dose of 12 mg/m(2)/d resulted in de-escalation to 8 mg/m(2)/d and subsequent re-escalation to 12 and 17 mg/m(2)/d. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies were performed during cycle 1. Response was evaluated using WHO criteria. RESULTS: Sixteen patients (median age, 15 years; range, 8 to 18 years) were evaluable for toxicity. DLTs (grade 3 nausea, vomiting, fatigue in one; hypertension and prolonged corrected QT interval in another) occurred in patients initially enrolled at 12 mg/m(2)/d. Subsequently, 8 mg/m(2)/d was well tolerated in three patients. An additional seven patients were enrolled at 12 mg/m(2)/d; one had DLT (grade 3 diarrhea). At 17 mg/m(2)/d, two of four patients had DLTs (grade 3 nausea; intolerable grade 2 fatigue). Non-dose-limiting toxicities included left ventricular dysfunction, elevated thyroid stimulating hormone, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, weight loss, and headache. The MTD of cediranib was 12 mg/m(2)/d (adult fixed dose equivalent, 20 mg). At 12 mg/m(2)/d, the median area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC(0-∞)) was 900 ng·h/mL, which is similar to adults receiving 20 mg. Objective responses were observed in patients with Ewing sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, and osteosarcoma. CONCLUSION: The recommended monotherapy dose of cediranib for children with extracranial solid tumors is 12 mg/m(2)/d administered orally, once daily, continuously. A phase II study is in development.
