Purpose: E7080, an oral multitargeted receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has antiangiogenic and antitumor activity. This Phase I study investigated maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors.Experimental Design: In this sequential, dose-escalation, open-label study E7080 was administered orally twice daily in a 2-week-on/1-week-off cycle. Plasma angiogenic proteins, circulating endothelial cells (CEC) and circulating progenitor cells (CEP) were measured for biomarker analysis.Results: Twenty-seven patients (median age 53 years, performance status 0/1) were enrolled. E7080 was escalated from 0.5 to 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 13, 16, and 20 mg bid by conventional 3-patient cohorts. During cycle 1, no grade 3/4 toxicity was observed up to 13 mg bid. DLTs included grade 3 AST/ALT increase in 1 patient at 16 mg bid and grade 3 platelet count decrease in 2 patients at 20 mg bid. The MTD of 13 mg bid was determined. After repeated doses, Cmax and area under the plasma concentration–time curve increased in a dose-dependent manner. After 14 days' treatment, c-kit(+) CEPs and CECs significantly decreased in cycle 1, but c-kit(−) CEPs and CECs did not. Change from baseline in c-kit(+) CEC ratio in cycle 1 and baseline SDF1α, c-kit(+) CEPs and c-kit(+) CEP ratio significantly correlated with the E7080 therapeutic effect.Conclusion: E7080 has manageable toxicity up to 13 mg bid when administered in a 2-week-on/1-week-off cycle and shows preliminary activity for durable disease control. Biomarker analysis suggested antiangiogenic activity correlated with antitumor activity in patients with a wide range of solid tumors. Clin Cancer Res; 17(8); 2528–37. ©2011 AACR. |
