The First-in-human Phase I Trial of PU-H71 in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

NCT01393509 | Completed Phase 1

Brief Summary

NOTE: This study is now recruiting only patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN). Dose escalation has been completed. The purpose of this study is to test a new drug, called PU-H71 for the first time in humans, to find out what effects, good or bad, this new drug has on the patient and the cancer at different dose levels. PU-H71 blocks a protein called Heat Shock Protein-90 (Hsp90). Hsp90 is found in both normal and cancer cells, but may be more important in cancer cells. Attacking Hsp90 can stop the function of certain proteins that are needed for cancer cells to survive. The diseases that are part of this study may be especially sensitive to attacking Hsp90, and the investigators have seen signs of disease control in patients with MPN. This study is currently enrolling a cohort expansion for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).

Keywords

PU-H71; Solid Tumor; Lymphoma; 11-041; incurable, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor malignancy or lymphoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• To assess the safety of PU-H71 in patients with advanced malignancies.

  Toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), Version 4.0. All patients enrolled who receive study drug will be eligible for these analyses.

  2 years

• To assess the tolerability of PU-H71 in patients with advanced malignancies.

  Toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), Version 4.0.

  2 years

• To assess the pharmacokinetics of PU-H71 in patients with advanced malignancies.

  Blood will be drawn at the multiple time points for radioactive pharmacokinetic and metabolite analyses of 124I-PUH71

  The investigators anticipate these time points to be: 5 min (+mins), 3-4, 18-24 and 44-48 hours post-injection.

• To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on toxicity analysis.

  Toxicity will be monitored using NCI- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version (4.0).Patients receiving at least 3 out of 4 planned doses of study drug developing a drug-related toxicity will be eligible for these analyses.

  2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• To assess anti-tumor activity as defined by response rate

  2 years

• To evaluate 124I-PU-H71 as a non-invasive means to determine tumor pharmacokinetics and intra-tumoral concentration

  2 years

Study Arms (1)

PU-H71

EXPERIMENTAL

This Phase 1 trial will be an open-label, dose-escalation study of single-agent PU-H71 in patients with advanced solid malignancies and lymphoma.

Drug: PU-H71

Interventions

PU-H71 DRUG

PU-H71 will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 1 hour two times a week on a 2 week on and 1 week off (Q21 day) schedule with a starting dose of 10 mg/m2. A Cycle on study will be defined as 21 days. The same schedule of administration will be used for all patients in this Phase I trial, and a MCRM (modified continual reassessment method)design will be employed. The MPN expansion may explore different dosing schedules.

PU-H71

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• The safety-expansion phase will be open to accrual only for patients with MPN.
• ≥ 18 years of age
• For patients with solid malignancies and lymphoma, radiographically detectable (Either FDG-PET, CT scan/ MRI or Bone Scan) or measurable disease will be required. Measurable disease is defined as at least one measurable lesion ≥ 10 mm on CT scan (15 mm for nodal lesions).
• Prior therapy for advanced malignancy with no current curative option
• Neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/μL, platelet count ≥ 50,000/μL, and hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (Platelet count must be assessed at least 7 days after a prior transfusion, if any)
• Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL;
• AST and ALT≤ 1.5 × ULN
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 mL/min based on a 24-hour urine collection
• Patients receiving hydroxyurea may continue receiving it for up to 14 days after the start of protocol treatment if WBC \>30 x10\^9/L.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2
• Patients with HIV/AIDS are allowed on study if they have an undetectable viral load, CD4 \> 300 and on stable Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) regimen for 1 month.
• Patients who have been treated for at least two weeks with stable doses of corticosteroids to address conditions unrelated to their malignancy will be allowed to continue this treatment during enrollment on the current trial.
• Patients currently being treated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist), bicalutamide or with bisphosphonates may continue treatment while on clinical trial PU-H71 as long as the treatment has been initiated before the study start. GnRH agonist must have been well tolerated for at least three months.
• Optional participation in the microdose imaging trial, IRB#10-139.
• Signed written informed consent and HIPAA consent.

You may not qualify if:

• Ejection fraction \< 50%, as determined by echocardiogram or MUGA scan
• Symptomatic brain or CNS metastases. Previously treated and stable CNS disease is allowed.
• Any of the following for the treatment of cancer within 2 weeks of first study treatment: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, experimental therapy or biologic therapy.
• Any major surgical procedure or radiation within 4 weeks of first study treatment
• Active liver disease, including viral or other hepatitis, or cirrhosis
• Pregnancy or lactation
• Active hepatitis or other active infections
• Any other significant medical condition not under control, including any acute coronary syndrome within the past 6 months.
• Patients with a permanent pacemaker
• Patients with a QTcF or QTcB \> 480 ms in the baseline EKG
• Systemic corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone ≥ 12.5 mg/day or dexamethasone ≥ 2 mg/day) for the purpose of palliating tumor-related symptoms will not be allowed within 1 week of starting treatment on trial.
