Popis: Background Dysregulation of histone deacetylases (HDACs) is common in cancer and is critical to the development and progression of the majority of tumors. This first-in-human Phase Ia study assessed the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of OBP-801, a cyclic depsipeptide class I HDAC inhibitor. Methods Adult patients with advanced solid tumors were treated in 3 dose cohorts (1.0 mg/m2, 2.0 mg/m2 or 2.8 mg/m2) of OBP-801 that was administered via intravenous infusion weekly. Initially, an accelerated titration design was used that was followed by a 3 + 3 dose escalation strategy. Primary objective was assessment of safety. Secondary objectives included determination of PK and objective response rate. Results Seventeen patients were enrolled, of which 8 patients were evaluable for efficacy. Drug-related ≥ Grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events included abdominal pain, anemia, fatigue, gamma glutamyl-transferase increase, hypertriglyceridemia and vomiting. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed in the 1.0 mg/m2 cohort. The PK data showed that OBP-801 and its active metabolite OBP-801-SH exposure increased proportionally and more than proportionally, respectively. No accumulation of either agent was noticed after repeat administration. Best response was stable disease (37.5%), with one patient each in the three cohorts. Conclusion Further investigations of the OBP-801 1.0 mg/m2 dose will be needed to better understand the efficacy of the agent, either alone or in combination. Trial registration: NCT02414516 (ClinicalTrials.gov) registered on April 10, 2015.
