Abstract
Purpose
This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RD) of NK012, a macromolecular polymeric micelle formulation of SN-38 (the active metabolite of irinotecan).
Patients and methods
Patients with previously treated advanced solid tumors and acceptable organ function were administered NK012 as a 30-min infusion every 21 or 28 days without premedications. Patients were screened for UGT1A1 *28 polymorphism prior to enrollment. Patients homozygous for UGT1A1*28 allele (*28/*28 genotype patients) were treated at a reduced dose level with the potential for dose escalation based on toxicities. Pharmacokinetic samples were obtained during cycles 1 and 2.
Results
Thirty-nine patients were enrolled, and thirty-eight patients were treated with NK012. NK012 was escalated from 9 to 37 mg/m2 in patients with UGT1A1*28 allele genotype of wt/wt and wt/*28. The MTD/RD of a Q21D regimen was determined to be 28 mg/m2 where the dose-limiting toxicity is myelosuppression, which appears to be cumulative and limits timely subsequent dosing. Based on delayed neutrophil recovery, the NK012 dose of 28 mg/m2 administered on an every 28 days schedule was confirmed as the RD. Gastrointestinal toxicities were mild, with no grade 3 diarrhea reported. The T1/2z value of polymer-unbound SN-38 was significantly prolonged compared to that of SN-38 metabolized from CPT-11, indicating a sustained high systemic SN-38 concentration. Six patients had confirmed partial responses. Eighteen additional patients had stable disease as their best response to treatment.
Conclusions
The recommended phase II dose of NK012 for UGT1A1 wt/wt and wt/*28 genotype patients is 28 mg/m2 every 28 days. Additional clinical development as a single agent in specific patient populations or in combination with other chemotherapy agents is warranted.
