Safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of E6201 in patients with advanced solid tumours, including melanoma: results of a phase 1 study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:This phase 1 first-in-human study aimed to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities, and safety of E6201, and to establish recommended dosing in patients with advanced solid tumours, expanded to advanced melanoma. METHODS:Part A (dose escalation): sequential cohorts received E6201 intravenously (IV) over 30?min (once-weekly [qw; days (D)1?+?8?+?15 of a 28-day cycle]), starting at 20?mg/m2, increasing to 720?mg/m2 or the MTD. Part B (expansion): patients with BRAF-mutated or wild-type (WT) melanoma received E6201 320?mg/m2 IV over 60?minutes qw (D1?+?8?+?15 of a 28-day cycle) or 160?mg/m2 IV twice-weekly (D1?+?4?+?8?+?11?+?15?+?18 of a 28-day cycle; BRAF-mutated only). RESULTS:MTD in Part A (n?=?25) was 320?mg/m2 qw, confirmed in Part B (n?=?30). Adverse events included QT prolongation (n?=?4) and eye disorders (n?=?3). E6201 exposure was dose-related, with PK characterised by extensive distribution and fast elimination. One patient achieved PR during Part A (BRAF-mutated papillary thyroid cancer; 480?mg/m2 qw) and three during Part B (2 BRAF-mutated melanoma; 1 BRAF-WT melanoma; all receiving 320?mg/m2 qw). CONCLUSIONS:An intermittent regimen of E6201 320?mg/m2 IV qw for the first 3 weeks of a 28-day cycle was feasible and reasonably well-tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumours, including melanoma with brain metastases, with evidence of clinical efficacy.
