Phase I Study of Fenretinide Delivered Intravenously in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Hematologic Malignancies: A California Cancer Consortium Trial.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: A phase I study was conducted to determine the MTD, dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), and pharmacokinetics of fenretinide delivered as an intravenous emulsion in relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies.Experimental Design: Fenretinide (80-1,810 mg/m2/day) was administered by continuous infusion on days 1 to 5, in 21-day cycles, using an accelerated titration design.Results: Twenty-nine patients, treated with a median of three prior regimens (range, 1-7), were enrolled and received the test drug. Ninety-seven courses were completed. An MTD was reached at 1,280 mg/m2/day for 5 days. Course 1 DLTs included 6 patients with hypertriglyceridemia, 4 of whom were asymptomatic; 2 patients experienced DLT thrombocytopenia (asymptomatic). Of 11 patients with response-evaluable peripheral T-cell lymphomas, two had complete responses [CR, progression-free survival (PFS) 68+ months; unconfirmed CR, PFS 14+ months], two had unconfirmed partial responses (unconfirmed PR, PFS 5 months; unconfirmed PR, PFS 6 months), and five had stable disease (2-12 cycles). One patient with mature B-cell lymphoma had an unconfirmed PR sustained for two cycles. Steady-state plasma levels were approximately 10 mcg/mL (mid-20s ?mol/L) at 640 mg/m2/day, approximately 14 mcg/mL (mid-30s ?mol/L) at 905 mg/m2/day, and approximately 22 mcg/mL (mid-50s ?mol/L) at 1,280 mg/m2/day.Conclusions: Intravenous fenretinide obtained significantly higher plasma levels than a previous capsule formulation, had acceptable toxicities, and evidenced antitumor activity in peripheral T-cell lymphomas. A recommended phase II dosing is 600 mg/m2 on day 1, followed by 1,200 mg/m2 on days 2 to 5, every 21 days. A registration-enabling phase II study in relapsed/refractory PTCL (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02495415) is ongoing. Clin Cancer Res; 23(16); 4550-5. ©2017 AACR.

Project description:BackgroundA phase 1 study was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose of bendamustine when given in combination with clofarabine, etoposide, and dexamethasone daily for 5 days in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies.MethodsPatients younger than 22 years with second or greater relapsed or refractory acute leukemia or lymphoma after 2 or more prior regimens were eligible. With the rolling 6 design, participants received escalating doses of bendamustine (30, 40, or 60 mg/m2 /d) in combination with clofarabine (40 mg/m2 ), etoposide (100 mg/m2 ), and dexamethasone (8 mg/m2 ) daily for 5 days. Optional pharmacokinetic studies were performed in cycle 1 on day 1 and day 5.ResultsSixteen patients were enrolled. Six patients were treated at the dose level of 30 mg/m2 /d, 6 were treated at the dose level of 40 mg/m2 /d, and 4 were treated at the dose level of 60 mg/m2 /d. The dose-limiting toxicity was prolonged myelosuppression. The combination was otherwise well tolerated. The recommended dose of bendamustine in this combination was 30 mg/m2 /d for 5 days. Ten responses were observed after 1 cycle: 6 complete remissions, 1 durable minimal residual disease-negative complete remission without platelet recovery in a patient with early T-cell precursor leukemia, and 3 partial remissions. Six patients proceeded to transplantation. The event-free survival rate was 40.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 17.5%-63.7%) at 1 year and 33.9% (95% CI, 11.9%-55.9%) at 3 years.ConclusionsBendamustine is well tolerated in combination with clofarabine, etoposide, and dexamethasone. The combination administered over 5 days is effective for multiple relapsed and refractory hematologic malignancies. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01900509).Lay summaryImprovements to the existing chemotherapy regimen are still needed for patients who relapse after targeted therapies and immunotherapies and for those who are not eligible for or have no access to such therapies. A regimen combining cyclophosphamide, clofarabine, and etoposide has been used in relapsed and refractory pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies. This study shows that substituting bendamustine for cyclophosphamide in combination with clofarabine and etoposide is safe and effective.
