A Phase I/IIa Study of DHP107, a Novel Oral Paclitaxel Formulation, in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors or Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Lessons learned

Ideally, patients should have access to an oral formulation of paclitaxel, as well as an intravenous formulation, to allow development of regimens exploring alternate schedules and to avoid reactions to Cremophor EL (BASF Corp., Ludwigshafen, Germany, https://www.basf.com).DHP107 is a novel oral paclitaxel formulation that is a tolerable and feasible regimen for patients with gastric cancer, with data suggesting efficacy similar to that of intravenous paclitaxel.

Background

We evaluated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DHP107, a novel oral paclitaxel formulation, and the efficacy and safety of the agent in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Patients and methods

Phase I study: cohorts of 3-6 patients with advanced solid tumors received escalating DHP107 doses. Phase IIa study: patients with measurable advanced gastric cancer received DHP107, 200 mg/m² b.i.d., on days 1, 8, and 15 every 4 weeks. Pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy were analyzed.

Results

Phase I: 17 patients received a dose-escalating regimen of DHP107, 150-250 mg/m² b.i.d. Dose-limiting toxicities were neutropenia and febrile neutropenia. The MTD (recommended dose) for phase IIa was 200 mg/m² b.i.d. Phase IIa: 11 patients with measurable advanced gastric cancer in whom first-line therapy failed received DHP107 (MTD). Three confirmed partial responses were observed. Median progression-free survival of gastric cancer patients (n = 16) treated at the MTD was 2.97 (95% confidence interval, 1.67-5.40) months (Fig. 1). The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (35.3%) and leukopenia (17.6%) at the MTD (phase I and IIa combined; n = 17).

Conclusion

DHP107 showed good antitumor efficacy and was tolerable. The MTD (200 mg/m² b.i.d.) is recommended for use in further studies comparing DHP107 with standard intravenous paclitaxel therapy. The Oncologist 2017;22:129-e8.

Project description:BackgroundFGFR genomic aberrations occur in approximately 5-10% of human cancers. Erdafitinib has previously demonstrated efficacy and safety in FGFR-altered advanced solid tumors, such as gliomas, thoracic, gastrointestinal, gynecological, and other rare cancers. However, its efficacy and safety in Asian patients remain largely unknown. We conducted a multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase IIa study of erdafitinib to evaluate its efficacy in Asian patients with FGFR-altered advanced cholangiocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and esophageal cancer.MethodsPatients with pathologically/cytologically confirmed, advanced, or refractory tumors who met molecular and study eligibility criteria received oral erdafitinib 8 mg once daily with an option for pharmacodynamically guided up-titration to 9 mg on a 28-day cycle, except for four NSCLC patients who received erdafitinib 10 mg (7 days on/7 days off) as they were recruited before the protocol amendment. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, duration of response, disease control rate, overall survival, safety, and pharmacokinetics.ResultsThirty-five patients (cholangiocarcinoma: 22; NSCLC: 12; esophageal cancer: 1) were enrolled. At data cutoff (November 19, 2021), the objective response rate for patients with cholangiocarcinoma was 40.9% (95% CI, 20.7-63.6); the median progression-free survival was 5.6 months (95% CI, 3.6-12.7) and median overall survival was 40.2 months (95% CI, 12.4-not estimable). No patient with RET/FGFR-altered NSCLC achieved objective response and the disease control rate was 25.0% (95% CI, 5.5-57.2%), with three patients with stable disease. The single patient with esophageal cancer achieved partial response. All patients experienced treatment-emergent adverse events, and grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 22 (62.9%) patients. Hyperphosphatemia was the most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse event (all-grade, 85.7%).ConclusionsErdafitinib demonstrated efficacy in a population of Asian patients in selected advanced solid tumors, particularly in those with advanced FGFR-altered cholangiocarcinoma. Treatment was tolerable with no new safety signals.Trial registrationThis trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02699606); study registration (first posted): 04/03/2016.
