Pralatrexate injection combined with CHOP for treatment of PTCL: results from the Fol-CHOP dose-finding phase 1 trial.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Pralatrexate is a folate antagonist that selectively enters cells expressing reduced folate carrier type 1 and competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, leading to interruption of RNA synthesis, DNA replication, and apoptosis. This phase 1 study was conducted to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pralatrexate in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regimen (part 1) and the response and pharmacokinetics of 6 cycles of this combination (CHOP + Folotyn 30 mg/m2 [Fol-CHOP]) in patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). In part 1, on days 1 and 8 of each cycle, patients were treated with 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 mg/m2 of pralatrexate in combination with CHOP, per dose escalation, in 5 sequential cohorts. No patients experienced DLTs in cohorts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The pralatrexate dose of 30 mg/m2 was selected to be combined with CHOP for part 2 and administered to 33 additional patients in the expansion cohort. At the MTD, the Fol-CHOP regimen was generally well tolerated in patients with PTCL, with an overall response rate (ORR) of 83.9% (20 complete response and 6 partial response), as assessed by treating investigators. Thirty-five patients (67.3%) experienced grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events, the most common of which were anemia (21.2%), neutropenia (19.2%), febrile neutropenia (11.5%), fatigue, mucosal inflammation, nausea, and vomiting (7.7% each). In conclusion, Fol-CHOP was found to be a safe and effective treatment for newly diagnosed PTCL and deemed worthy of further investigation. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02594267.

Project description:IntroductionEarly phase dose-finding (EPDF) studies are critical for the development of new treatments, directly influencing whether compounds or interventions can be investigated in further trials to confirm their safety and efficacy. There exists guidance for clinical trial protocols and reporting of completed trials in the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) 2013 and CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Randomised Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statements. However, neither the original statements nor their extensions adequately cover the specific features of EPDF trials. The DEFINE (DosE-FIndiNg Extensions) study aims to enhance transparency, completeness, reproducibility and interpretation of EPDF trial protocols (SPIRIT-DEFINE) and their reports once completed (CONSORT-DEFINE), across all disease areas, building on the original SPIRIT 2013 and CONSORT 2010 statements.Methods and analysisA methodological review of published EPDF trials will be conducted to identify features and deficiencies in reporting and inform the initial generation of the candidate items. The early draft checklists will be enriched through a review of published and grey literature, real-world examples analysis, citation and reference searches and consultation with international experts, including regulators and journal editors. Development of CONSORT-DEFINE commenced in March 2021, followed by SPIRIT-DEFINE from January 2022. A modified Delphi process, involving worldwide, multidisciplinary and cross-sector key stakeholders, will be run to refine the checklists. An international consensus meeting in autumn 2022 will finalise the list of items to be included in both guidance extensions.Ethics and disseminationThis project was approved by ICR's Committee for Clinical Research. The Health Research Authority confirmed Research Ethics Approval is not required. The dissemination strategy aims to maximise guideline awareness and uptake, including but not limited to dissemination in stakeholder meetings, conferences, peer-reviewed publications and on the EQUATOR Network and DEFINE study websites.Registration detailsSPIRIT-DEFINE and CONSORT-DEFINE are registered with the EQUATOR Network.

Project description:ObjectivePatients with refractory status epilepticus (RSE) have failed treatment with benzodiazepines and ≥1 second-line intravenous (IV) antiseizure medication (ASM). Guidelines recommend IV anesthesia when second-line ASMs have failed, but potential harms can outweigh the benefits. Novel treatments are needed to stop and durably control RSE without escalation to IV anesthetics. Ganaxolone is an investigational neuroactive steroid in development for RSE treatment. This study's objective was to determine the appropriate dosing for IV ganaxolone in RSE and obtain a preliminary assessment of efficacy and safety.MethodsThis was an open-label, phase 2 trial conducted from February 19, 2018 to September 18, 2019, at three sites in the United States. Patients were aged ≥12 years, had convulsive or nonconvulsive SE, and failed to respond to ≥1 second-line IV ASM. Twenty-one patients were screened; 17 were enrolled. Patients received IV ganaxolone added to standard-of-care ASMs. Ganaxolone infusion was initiated as an IV bolus (over 3 min) with continuous infusion of decreasing infusion rates for 48-96 h followed by an 18-h taper. There were three ganaxolone dosing cohorts: low, 500 mg/day; medium, 650 mg/day; and high, 713 mg/day. The primary end point was the number of patients not requiring escalation to IV anesthetic treatment within 24 h of ganaxolone initiation.ResultsMost of the 17 enrolled patients (65%) had nonconvulsive SE, and had failed a median of three prior ASMs, including first-line benzodiazepine and second-line IV ASM therapy. Median time to SE cessation following ganaxolone initiation was 5 min. No patient required escalation to third-line IV anesthetics during the 24-h period following ganaxolone initiation. Two treatment-related serious adverse events (sedation) were reported. Of the three deaths, none was considered related to ganaxolone; all occurred 9-22 days after completing ganaxolone.SignificanceIV ganaxolone achieved rapid and durable seizure control in patients with RSE, and showed acceptable safety and tolerability.
