Phase 1 Study Of Aurora Kinase Inhibitor PF-03814735 In Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

DLT defined as any of the following during the first cycle of treatment and attributable to PF-03814735: Grade (Gr) 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <500 cells/mm^3) for >7 days or febrile neutropenia (ANC <1000/mm^3, fever ≥38 degrees Celsius; neutropenic infection (ANC <1000/mm^3); Gr 4 thrombocytopenia (platelets <25,000 cells/mm^3); ≥Gr 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, despite optimal antiemetic, anti-diarrheal support; ≥20% decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction compared to baseline; other non-hematological toxicity; any Gr ≥3 adverse event; or failure to recover.

Area under the serum concentration time-curve from zero to the last measured concentration.

Cmin defined as the lowest serum concentration observed during the dosing interval.

Rac was the ratio of Schedule B Cycle 1/Day 9 to Day -5 (Day 9 AUCτ to Day -5 AUCτ).

Terminal half-life (serum decay half-life) is the time measured for the serum concentration to decrease by one half.

Urine PK for quantification of unchanged PF-03814375 and any identified metabolites. 24-hour urine collection at 8-hour intervals after the morning dose (Schedule [Sch] A Day 4, Sch B Day 9; last sample collected just prior to the morning dose on Sch A Day 5 or Sch B Day 10 in the expanded maximum tolerated dose (MTD) cohort only (≥ 10 participants in Sch A 80 mg and Sch B 50 mg groups). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 1 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL). Clinical specimens with concentrations below the LLOQ were to be reported as below the limited of quantification (BLQ) 1 ng/mL.

FTD-PET measured as standardized uptake volume (SUV) values corrected for lean body mass. Change from baseline categorized according to European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer (EORTC) criteria: Partial Metabolic Response (PMR): SUV value during treatment <75 percent (%) of baseline value; Progressive Metabolic Disease (PMD): SUV value during treatment >125% of baseline value; Stable Metabolic Disease (SMD): change in SUV value between PMR and PMD. Collected in the expanded MTD cohort only (≥ 10 participants in Sch A 80 mg and Sch B 50 mg groups).

pH3 expression is a method to enable the quantification of the proliferative potential of tumor cells. Post-dose tumor tissue sampling occurred after FDG-PET. Biopsies were not to be taken from lesions which were used for PET analysis and were to be taken between 1 and 6 hours after study drug administration. Collected in the expanded MTD cohort only (≥ 10 participants in Sch A 80 mg and Sch B 50 mg groups).

Number of participants with objective response based on assessment of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Confirmed CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Confirmed PR defined as ≥30% decrease in sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum LD according to RECIST. Confirmed responses are those that persist on repeat imaging study ≥4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

Time to Progression defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date progressive disease first reported. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was to be used. TTP = (first date of tumor progression - date of enrollment + 1). Progressive disease: ≥20% increase in sum LD of target lesions from smallest sum LD recorded since treatment start or appearance of ≥1 new lesions.

Duration of responses based on assessment of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST. Confirmed CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Confirmed PR defined as ≥30% decrease in sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum LD according to RECIST. Confirmed responses are those that persist on repeat imaging study ≥4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

Percentage of germ line polymorphism cell expression in relation to clinical response. Responses include CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: ≥30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesions referencing baseline sum LD; Progressive disease: ≥20% increase in sum LD of target lesions from smallest sum LD recorded since Tx start or appearance of ≥1 new lesions; Stable disease: neither sufficient shrinkage to=PR nor sufficient increase to=PD during first 6 weeks after Tx start referencing smallest sum LD since Tx start.

Percentage of aurora gene somatic mutations/amplification and pathway genes in relation to clinical response. Responses include CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: ≥30% decrease in sum of longest dimensions (LD) of target lesions referencing baseline sum LD; Progressive disease: ≥20% increase in sum LD of target lesions from smallest sum LD recorded since Tx start or appearance of ≥1 new lesions; Stable disease: neither sufficient shrinkage to=PR nor sufficient increase to=PD during first 6 weeks after Tx start referencing smallest sum LD since Tx start.
