Study summary

Phase I trial, dose escalating, prospective, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study. The purpose is to determine the safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended dose (RD) of PM00104, administered intravenously over 1 hour daily for 5 days every 3 weeks (this is considered as 1 cycle) to subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors or lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

Phase I trial, dose escalating, prospective, open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study. The purpose is to determine the safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended dose (RD) of PM00104, administered intravenously over 1 hour daily for 5 days every 3 weeks (this is considered as 1 cycle) to subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors or lymphoma. Secondary objectives are to determine the preliminary pharmacokinetics of PM00104, to evaluate the relationship between pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and to evaluate the preliminary antitumor activity of PM00104. Dose-escalation guidelines will follow an accelerated phase I design for conventional cytotoxic agents in order to minimize the number of subjects treated at the subtoxic dose levels. The trial will be conducted in compliance with the protocol, Good clinical practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior therapy with PM00104
  2. Pregnant or lactating women.
  3. Less than 4 weeks from radiation therapy (8 weeks in case of extensive prior radiotherapy) or last dose of hormonal therapy, biological therapy or chemotherapy (6 weeks in case of nitrosourea, mitomycin C).
  4. Prior high dose chemotherapy that needed bone marrow transplant support.
  5. Subjects with untreated or uncontrolled brain or meningeal metastases.
  6. Other relevant diseases or adverse clinical conditions:

    • Increased cardiac risk as defined by:

      • History or presence of unstable angina.
      • History or presence of myocardial infarction.
      • Congestive heart failure.
      • Symptomatic arrhythmia or any arrhythmia requiring ongoing treatment.
      • Abnormal ECG (i.e., patients with the following are excluded: QT prolongation-corrected QT interval > 480 msec-, signs of cardiac enlargement or hypertrophy, bundle branch block, partial bundle branch blocks, signs of ischemia or necrosis, Wolff-Parkinson-White patterns).
      • History or presence of valvular heart disease.
      • Uncontrolled arterial hypertension despite optimal medical therapy.
      • Previous mediastinal radiotherapy.
      • Previous treatment with doxorubicin at cumulative doses in excess of 400 mg/m2
    • History of significant neurological or psychiatric disorders.
    • Active infection.
    • Significant non-neoplastic liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis).
    • Significant non-neoplastic renal disease.
    • Immunocompromised subjects, including subjects known to be infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
    • Uncontrolled endocrine diseases (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, adrenal disorder) requiring relevant changes in medication within the last month or hospital admission within the last 3 months.
    • Any other major illness that, in the investigator's judgment, could substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in this study.
  7. Limitation of the subject's ability to comply with the treatment or to follow-up at a participating center. Subjects registered on this trial must be treated and followed at a participating center.
  8. Treatment with any investigational product in the 30 days period prior to the first infusion.
  9. Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug product, including sucrose or potassium phosphate.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    DLTs were defined as follows: * Hematological adverse events: * Any grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 0.5 x109/l) for longer than five days; * Any grade 4 neutropenia accompanied by fever (at least 38.5°C); * Any grade 4 neutropenia and sepsis or other severe infection; * Any grade 4 thrombocytopenia. * Any other grade 3/4 non-hematological adverse event (AE) and any increase of cardiac troponin I ≥0.1 ng/ml together with evidence of cardiac damage by electrocardiogram (ECG) or echocardiogram (ECHO), except for untreated nausea/vomiting or hypersensitivity reactions. * Decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \> 20% compared to the patient's baseline value and/or LVEF \< 50% below normal limits for the institution. * Delay in the initiation of a subsequent dose exceeding two weeks due to drug related AEs

    Time frame: During the first cycle (21 days)

Secondary outcomes

    Best tumor response was defined as the best response achieved during the study according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0. Complete response (CR): disappearance of all lesions; Partial response (PR): ≥10% decrease in target lesion size or ≥15% decrease in tumor density; Disease progression (PD): ≥10% increase in target lesion size and does not meet tumor density criteria of PR density; Stable disease (SD): none of the CR, PR, or PD criteria met; RECIST,

    Time frame: every six weeks while on study, up to 2 years

Limitations and caveats
This phase I study was prematurely closed due to a low recruiting rate as well as to the perception that this could be an unpractical dosing schedule when compared to other schedules evaluated in the clinical development program of PM00104.

Participant flow

Twelve patients were enrolled and 11 patients were treated between 9 May 2006 (first consent signed) and 10 September 2008 (last follow-up). The first dose of the first cycle was administered on 15 May 2006 and the last dose of the last cycle was administered on 20 June 2008
