Phase I dose-escalation study of pilaralisib (SAR245408, XL147), a pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, in combination with erlotinib in patients with solid tumors.

ABSTRACT: This phase I study evaluated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of pilaralisib (SAR245408), an oral pan-class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, in combination with erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor.In a 3 + 3 dose-escalation study, patients with advanced solid tumors received pilaralisib capsules once daily (21 days per 28-day cycle; 50-600 mg) plus erlotinib tablets once daily (28 days per 28-day cycle; 100 or 150 mg). An MTD expansion cohort of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who had previously received treatment with an EGFR inhibitor was included.Thirty-five patients were enrolled. Only one patient had an EGFR activating mutation. One dose-limiting toxicity was reported (grade 4 drug reaction or rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms). MTD was pilaralisib 400 mg plus erlotinib 150 mg. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse events were rash (62.9%), diarrhea (42.9%), and fatigue (40.0%). Pilaralisib PK findings were consistent with previous studies, suggesting erlotinib had no effect on pilaralisib pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamic analyses indicated moderate inhibition of PI3K, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and EGFR pathways. Of 27 evaluable patients, one had a partial response (3.7%) and 14 (51.9%) had stable disease. There was no association between molecular alterations of PI3K pathway components and clinical activity.Pilaralisib plus erlotinib had limited antitumor activity. Safety findings were similar to recent studies of single-agent pilaralisib or other PI3K inhibitors.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) are involved in the proliferation and survival of many cancer types. Enhanced antitumor activity may be achieved through combined inhibition of these pathways. We report results for pictilisib (GDC-0941, a class I pan-PI3K inhibitor) plus erlotinib (an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor) in patients with advanced solid tumors.Materials and methodsA 3 + 3 dose-escalation study was carried out at a starting daily dose of 60 mg pictilisib on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle and 150 mg erlotinib from day 2 of cycle 1. The primary objectives of the study were to assess safety and tolerability, identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), estimate the maximum tolerated dose, and identify the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). Evaluation of a dose-expansion cohort at the RP2D was performed.ResultsFifty-seven patients were treated in the study. All patients experienced at least one adverse event (AE). Grade ≥3 AEs, serious AEs, and deaths were reported in 38 (66.7%), 19 (33.3%), and 4 (7.0%) patients, respectively. DLTs occurred in nine patients across eight cohorts and the RP2D was determined to be 340 mg pictilisib on a "5 days on, 2 days off" schedule plus 100 mg erlotinib. Two patients (3.5%) experienced partial response and 19 (33.3%) had stable disease.ConclusionCombining pictilisib with erlotinib in patients with advanced solid tumors is feasible; however, antitumor activity is limited. Additional studies may identify patients likely to benefit from combined inhibition of EGFR and PI3K pathways.Implications for practiceCombining drugs targeting different signaling pathways in cancer growth and survival could overcome drug resistance and improve antitumor activity. In this first-in-human study for the combination, addition of the PI3K inhibitor pictilisib to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib resulted in toxicity that led to dose and schedule modifications to identify a tolerable recommended phase II dose of 340 mg pictilisib on a "5 days on, 2 days off" schedule plus 100 mg erlotinib daily. The limited antitumor activity observed, however, suggests that additional studies are needed to identify patients most likely to benefit from combined EGFR and PI3K inhibition.

Project description:BackgroundAngiogenesis and activation of the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) pathway play an essential role in tumor proliferation and metastasis. Targeting angiogenesis or EGFR alone does not yield adequate tumor control in most solid tumors. Overcoming intrinsic and/or acquired resistance may need a doublet or triplet therapy strategy. Herein, we report the safety and feasibility of dual EGFR blockade with EGFR monoclonal antibody and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor combined with anti-VEGF antibody in advanced solid tumors.MethodsWe conducted a phase I study combining erlotinib, cetuximab, and bevacizumab. Patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors (excluding colorectal and non-small cell lung cancers) were analyzed for safety, toxicity profile, and response. Anti-tumor activity was evaluated per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST 1.0).ResultsThirty-six patients received treatment on a range of dose-levels. The most frequent tumor types enrolled were cervical (n = 10), head and neck squamous cell (n = 10), and follicular thyroid (n = 4) cancers. The most common treatment-related grade ≥ 2 adverse events were rash (56%), hypomagnesemia (17%), pruritus (11%), diarrhea (8%), and tumor-related bleeding (8%). Seventeen of 19 patients (89%) treated at the maximum tolerated dose did not present treatment-related dose-limiting toxicity. Fifteen (63%) of the 24 evaluable patients achieved a disease control (stable disease ≥ 4 months (n = 14) and partial response (n = 1). The median number of prior lines of therapies was 3 (range 1-10).ConclusionsThe triplet combination of erlotinib, cetuximab, and bevacizumab was well tolerated, conferring clinical benefit in heavily pretreated patients. Future studies are warranted with second or third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase triplet combinations in the EGFR pathway aberrant patients.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00543504.
