Genome-wide association study of paclitaxel and carboplatin disposition in women with epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence chemotherapy disposition may help to personalize cancer treatment and limit toxicity. Genome-wide approaches are unbiased, compared with candidate gene studies, but usually require large cohorts. As most chemotherapy is given cyclically multiple blood sampling is required to adequately define drug disposition, limiting patient recruitment. We found that carboplatin and paclitaxel disposition are stable phenotypes in ovarian cancer patients and tested a genome-wide association study (GWAS) design to identify SNPs associated with chemotherapy disposition. We found highly significant SNPs in ABCC2, a known carboplatin transporter, associated with carboplatin clearance (asymptotic P?=?5.2?×?106, empirical P?=?1.4?×?10-5), indicating biological plausibility. We also identified novel SNPs associated with paclitaxel disposition, including rs17130142 with genome-wide significance (asymptotic P?=?2.0?×?10-9, empirical P?=?1.3?×?10-7). Although requiring further validation, our work demonstrated that GWAS of chemotherapeutic drug disposition can be effective, even in relatively small cohorts, and can be adopted in drug development and treatment programs.

Project description:Background Metformin use is associated with reduced cancer risk in epidemiological studies and has preclinical anti-cancer activity in ovarian cancer models. The primary objective of this phase I study was to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of metformin in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in patients with ovarian cancer. Secondary objectives were to describe safety and pharmacokinetics. Methods In this single-center trial the RP2D of metformin in combination with carboplatin area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 6 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 every 3 weeks (q3w) in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer was determined using a 3?+?3 escalation rule at three fixed dose levels: 500 mg three times daily (tds), 850 mg tds and 1000 mg tds. Metformin was commenced on day 3 of cycle 1 and continued until 3 weeks after the last chemotherapy administration. The RP2D was defined as the dose level at which 0 of 3 or???1 of 6 evaluable subjects experienced a metformin-related dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Safety was assessed according to CTCAE v4.0. Plasma and serum samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses were collected during treatment cycles 1 and 2. Results Fifteen patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and an indication for neo-adjuvant (n?=?5) or palliative (n?=?10) treatment were included. No DLTs were observed. Three patients discontinued study treatment during cycle 1 for other reasons than DLT. Six patients were treated at the RP2D of metformin 1000 mg tds. The most frequent low-grade toxicities were anemia, hypomagnesemia and diarrhea. Grade 3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in ten patients, most common were leucopenia (n?=?4), thrombocytopenia (n?=?3) and increased GGT (n?=?3). There were no grade 4 AEs. Metformin increased the platinum (Pt) AUC (?22%, p?=?0.013) and decreased the Pt clearance (?-28%, p?=?0.013). Metformin plasma levels were all within the therapeutic range for diabetic patients (0.1-4 mg/L). Conclusion The RP2D of metformin in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in advanced ovarian cancer is 1000 mg tds. This is higher than the RP2D reported for combination with targeted agents. A potential PK interaction of metformin with carboplatin was identified.

Project description:BackgroundA dose-dense weekly schedule of paclitaxel (resulting in a greater frequency of drug delivery) plus carboplatin every 3 weeks or the addition of bevacizumab to paclitaxel and carboplatin administered every 3 weeks has shown efficacy in ovarian cancer. We proposed to determine whether dose-dense weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin would prolong progression-free survival as compared with paclitaxel and carboplatin administered every 3 weeks among patients receiving and those not receiving bevacizumab.MethodsWe prospectively stratified patients according to whether they elected to receive bevacizumab and then randomly assigned them to receive either paclitaxel, administered intravenously at a dose of 175 mg per square meter of body-surface area every 3 weeks, plus carboplatin (dose equivalent to an area under the curve [AUC] of 6) for six cycles or paclitaxel, administered weekly at a dose of 80 mg per square meter, plus carboplatin (AUC, 6) for six cycles. The primary end point was progression-free survival.ResultsA total of 692 patients were enrolled, 84% of whom opted to receive bevacizumab. In the intention-to-treat analysis, weekly paclitaxel was not associated with longer progression-free survival than paclitaxel administered every 3 weeks (14.7 months and 14.0 months, respectively; hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74 to 1.06; P=0.18). Among patients who did not receive bevacizumab, weekly paclitaxel was associated with progression-free survival that was 3.9 months longer than that observed with paclitaxel administered every 3 weeks (14.2 vs. 10.3 months; hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.95; P=0.03). However, among patients who received bevacizumab, weekly paclitaxel did not significantly prolong progression-free survival, as compared with paclitaxel administered every 3 weeks (14.9 months and 14.7 months, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.20; P=0.60). A test for interaction that assessed homogeneity of the treatment effect showed a significant difference between treatment with bevacizumab and without bevacizumab (P=0.047). Patients who received weekly paclitaxel had a higher rate of grade 3 or 4 anemia than did those who received paclitaxel every 3 weeks (36% vs. 16%), as well as a higher rate of grade 2 to 4 sensory neuropathy (26% vs. 18%); however, they had a lower rate of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (72% vs. 83%).ConclusionsOverall, weekly paclitaxel, as compared with paclitaxel administered every 3 weeks, did not prolong progression-free survival among patients with ovarian cancer.

Project description:The interval required for haematological reconstitution following myelosuppressive chemotherapy can be reduced by the infusion of autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs). When carboplatin (C) and paclitaxel (P) are followed by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF), multiple courses can be given at 10-day intervals with the autologous PBPCs from a unit of whole blood with each cycle. We extended this approach and defined the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum-tolerated dose for the addition of gemcitabine (G) to CP for patients (pts) with EOC in a phase I-II study of increasing doses of G (0, 800, 1000 and 1250 mg x m(-2)) over four cohorts with C at area under curve (AUC) 6, plus P at 175 mg x m(-2) 3 h(-1) every 10 days for six cycles. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 5 microg x kg(-1) day(-1) was given s.c. days 1-10 and 450 ml whole blood was venesected before each treatment, stored untreated at 4 degrees C and reinfused 24 h later. In all, 17 patients with EOC either bulky stage IV or recurrent after treatment-free interval >12 months were treated over 30 months. Of the 17 patients, 13 completed six cycles (one patient stopped early with PD, three with toxicity), interdose interval 9-28 (median 10) days. Delays occurred in four patients due to infection or malaise, and there were no dose reductions. Haematological toxicity was not considered to be dose limiting. Febrile neutropenia was uncommon (2 patients), but grade III/IV thrombocytopenia was seen across all cohorts. Treatment was not delayed for thrombocytopenia and no bleeding complications occurred. Grade III transaminitis was seen in all patients in cohort 4 and grade IV toxicity, considered to be dose limiting, occurred in one. Responses were observed at all dose levels with six CR, seven PR, three SD and one PD. Dose intense GCP was deliverable over six cycles with manageable haematological toxicity, but with dose-limiting hepatic toxicity in cohort 4. The MTD was gemcitabine 1000 mg x m(-2), carboplatin AUC 6, paclitaxel 175 mg x m(-2) given every 10 days for six cycles.
