Two phase I, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic studies of DFP-10917, a novel nucleoside analog with 14-day and 7-day continuous infusion schedules.

ABSTRACT: Purpose DFP-10917 is a novel deoxycytidine analog with a unique mechanism of action. Brief exposure to high concentrations of DFP-10917 inhibits DNA polymerase resulting in S-phase arrest, while prolonged exposure to DFP-10917 at low concentration causes DNA fragmentation, G2/M-phase arrest, and apoptosis. DFP-10917 demonstrated activity in tumor xenografts resistant to other deoxycytidine analogs. Experimental design Two phase I studies assessed the safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and preliminary efficacy of DFP-10917. Patients with refractory solid tumors received DFP-10917 continuous infusion 14-day on/7-day off and 7-day on/7-day off. Enrollment required age?>?18 years, ECOG Performance Status 0-2 and adequate organ function. Results 29 patients were dosed in both studies. In 14-day infusion, dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) consisting of febrile neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurred at 4.0 mg/m2/day. At 3.0 mg/m2/day, 3 patients experienced neutropenia in cycle 2. The dose of 2.0 mg/m2/day was well tolerated in 6 patients. In 7-day infusion, grade 4 neutropenia was DLT at 4.0 mg/m2/day. The maximum tolerated dose was 3 mg/m2/day. Other toxicities included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, neutropenia, and alopecia. Eight patients had stable disease for >12 weeks. Paired comet assays performed for 7 patients showed an increase in DNA strand breaks at day 8. Pharmacokinetic data showed dose-proportionality for steady-state concentration and AUC of DFP-10917 and its primary metabolite. Conclusion Continuous infusion of DFP-10917 is feasible and well tolerated with myelosuppression as main DLT. The recommended doses are 2.0 mg/m2/day and 3.0 mg/m2/day on the 14-day and 7-day continuous infusion schedules, respectively. Preliminary activity was suggested. Pharmacodynamic data demonstrate biological activity at the tested doses.

Project description:Background DFP-10917 is a cytotoxic deoxycytidine analogue that causes DNA fragmentation, G2/M-phase arrest, and apoptosis. This agent has been shown to have antitumor activity against colorectal cancer (CRC) in preclinical studies and to be tolerable in patients. The purpose of our phase II trial was to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacogenomics of DFP-10917 as well as DNA damage studies in patients with advanced CRC refractory to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Methods In this single-arm, Simon two-stage, phase II trial, patients with chemotherapy-refractory advanced CRC received 2.0 mg/m2/day DFP-10917 via 14-day continuous infusion. Enrollment criteria included age ? 18 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status of 0 or 1, and adequate organ function. The primary endpoint was 3-month progression-free survival, defined as the proportion of patients who did not have progressive disease or death within 3 months of starting therapy. All patients who received any amount of DFP-10917 were included in the safety analysis. DNA damage study was assessed by comet assay. Results Of 28 patients initially enrolled, 26 received DFP-10917. Three patients (12%) were progression free at 3 months. The median progression-free survival was 1.3 months (95% confidence interval, 1.3-1.6 months). There were no complete or partial responses. Most patients (n?=?20, 77%) had progressive disease, and only six (23%) had stable disease at any time. The trial was terminated according to the pre-planned stopping rule. The most frequent (?5%) medication-related grade 3 or higher adverse events were neutropenia (n?=?10, 38%), fatigue (n?=?4, 15%), anemia (n?=?3, 12%), and leukopenia (n?=?3, 12%). DNA strand-breaks were detected after infusion (medians of % tail intensity were 2.89 and 12.64 on day 1 and day 15, respectively, p?<?0.001, sign test). Conclusion Overall, single-agent DFP-10917 did not show meaningful antitumor activity in chemotherapy-refractory advanced CRC. The safety profile of DFP-10917 was tolerable and similar to that observed in earlier clinical studies.

Project description:Background and objectiveThis study was performed in healthy Chinese subjects to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of a novel injection formulation of dexlansoprazole in the context of single and multiple administration, compared with the original lansoprazole injection.MethodsHelicobacter pylori-negative healthy volunteers were recruited, and 70 participants were enrolled into five dosing groups (seven males and seven females in each group), including 15 mg once daily (qd), 15 mg every 12 h (q12h), 30 mg qd and 30 mg q12h of dexlansoprazole treatment for 5 days, as well as 30 mg q12h of lansoprazole treatment for 5 days. Blood samples were collected at scheduled time spots postdose on day 1 (first dose) and day 5 (last dose). Twenty-four-hour intragastric pH was continuously monitored on day 0 (baseline) and days 1 and 5. Dexlansoprazole and S-lansoprazole in human plasma were determined by validated chiral liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, and the pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by a non-compartmental method using Phoenix WinNonlin software. Safety assessment included changes in vital signs and laboratory tests, physical examination findings, and incidence or reports of adverse events.ResultsThe half-life (t½) and clearance (CL) of dexlansoprazole were 1.76-2.06 h and 4.52-5.40 L/h, respectively, while the t½ and CL of S-lansoprazole were 0.87-1.02 h and 34.66-35.98 L/h, respectively. No drug accumulation after repeated administration was noted. Administration of lansoprazole 30 mg resulted in higher area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration (AUCt) of dexlansoprazole than that of dexlansoprazole 15 mg (p = 0.026). Zero to 24 h after q12h multiple dosing, median and mean intragastric pH, percentage of time with the intragastric pH above 4.0 [TpH ≥ 4.0(%)] and percentage of time with the intragastric pH above 6.0 [TpH ≥ 6.0(%)] in the dexlansoprazole 15 mg q12h group were 6.07 ± 0.61, 5.70 ± 0.76, 83.58 ± 12.34, and 53.70 ± 17.06, respectively, which was similar to the lansoprazole 30 mg q12h group, i.e. 6.15 ± 0.62, 5.88 ± 0.67, 87.26 ± 12.08 and 57.00 ± 16.35, respectively. A weak positive correlation between dexlansoprazole AUCt and baseline-adjusted TpH ≥ 4.0(%) over 0-24 h was observed, with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.437 (p = 0.029), while no correlation was observed between AUCt and baseline-adjusted TpH ≥ 6.0(%) over 0-24 h.ConclusionEvery 12 h intravenous dosing of dexlansoprazole up to 30 mg for 5 days was safe and well-tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. Every 12 h dosing of dexlansoprazole 15 mg has a comparable effect of gastric acid inhibition as lansoprazole 30 mg q12h.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT03120273.

Project description:BackgroundBecause etomidate induces prolonged adrenal suppression, even following a single bolus, its use as an infused anesthetic is limited. Our previous study indicated that a single administration of the novel etomidate analog methoxyethyletomidate hydrochloride (ET-26-HCl) shows little suppression of adrenocortical function. The aims of the present study were to (1) determine the minimum infusion rate of ET-26-HCl and compare it with those for etomidate and cyclopropyl-methoxycarbonylmetomidate (CPMM), a rapidly metabolized etomidate analog that is currently in clinical trials and (2) to evaluate adrenocortical function after a continuous infusion of ET-26-HCl as part of a broader study investigating whether this etomidate analog is suitable for long infusion in the maintenance of anesthesia.MethodThe up-and-down method was used to determine the minimum infusion rates for ET-26-HCl, etomidate and CPMM. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 32) were then randomly divided into four groups: etomidate, ET-26-HCl, CPMM, and vehicle control. Rats in each group were infused for 60 min with one of the drugs at its predetermined minimum infusion rate. Blood samples were drawn initially and then every 30 min after drug infusion to determine the adrenocorticotropic hormone-stimulated concentration of serum corticosterone as a measure of adrenocortical function.ResultsThe minimum infusion rates for etomidate, ET-26-HCl and CPMM were 0.29, 0.62, and 0.95 mg/kg/min, respectively. Compared with controls, etomidate decreased serum corticosterone, as expected, whereas serum corticosterone concentrations following infusion with the etomidate analogs ET-26-HCl or CPMM were not significantly different from those in the control group.ConclusionThe corticosterone concentrations tended to be reduced for the first hour following ET-26-HCl infusion (as compared to vehicle infusion); however, this reduction did not reach statistical significance. Thus, further studies are warranted examining the practicability of using ET-26-HCl as an infused anesthetic.
