ABSTRACT: Purpose
Ipatasertib is a selective inhibitor of Akt, a frequently activated protein kinase in human cancers. The current study assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ipatasertib in Japanese patients with solid tumors.Methods
This was a phase I, open-label, 3?+?3 dose-escalation study conducted in two stages. In stage I, Japanese patients with solid tumors were administered ipatasertib 200, 400, or 600 mg/day for 21 days of a 28-day cycle. In stage II, Japanese patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer were administered ipatasertib 200 or 400 mg/day in combination with abiraterone and prednisolone in 28-day cycles. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was assessed at each dose before enrolling patients at a higher dose; DLT was used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and maximum administered dose (MAD). Pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed after a single dose and at steady state.Results
Fifteen patients were enrolled in Stage I and six in Stage II. The ipatasertib MTD was 600 mg as monotherapy and MAD was 400 mg in combination with abiraterone and prednisolone. Ipatasertib plasma exposure was dose proportional across the dose range, and was not markedly affected by concurrent administration of abiraterone plus prednisolone. Stable disease (SD) was observed in eight patients treated with ipatasertib monotherapy (53.3%); four patients had SD and one had complete response with ipatasertib plus abiraterone and prednisolone.Conclusions
Ipatasertib, at the monotherapy MTD of 600 mg/day and MAD of 400 mg/day in combination with abiraterone and prednisolone, was safe and tolerable in Japanese patients with solid tumors.
