Abstract 5381
Background
Ineffective chemotherapy may partly be caused by subtherapeutic intratumoral drug levels. Nanomedicines are developed to improve the therapeutic index, by increasing intratumoral drug exposure and preserving healthy tissue. CPC634 is a new nanoparticle entrapping docetaxel. Here, we hypothesized that CPC634 increases intratumoral docetaxel level and overall duration of exposure.
Methods
In this randomized cross-over study we assessed both plasma and intratumoral pharmacokinetics (PK) of docetaxel after intravenous administration of 75 mg/m2 conventional docetaxel (Cd) and CPC634. We aimed to identify a 25% increase of intratumoral docetaxel exposure after CPC634 infusion compared to Cd. Adult patients were randomized to receive Cd in cycle 1 and CPC634 in cycle 2 or vice versa. Tumor biopsies were taken 24, 48, 72, 96, 168 or 336 hours after infusion during both cycles. Total docetaxel concentration (TDC) was determined for both drugs and released docetaxel for CPC634 in tumor tissue and plasma. PK data were analyzed using mixed modeling.
Results
In total, 21 evaluable patients were included. In plasma, the area under the curve (AUCinf) of released docetaxel was higher (+27%, 95% CI: 11-44%, P = 0.001) while peak plasma concentration (Cmax) (-91%, 95% CI: -92:-89%, P < 0.001) and clearance (-21%, 95% CI: -31;-10%, P = 0.001) decreased during CPC634 administration versus Cd. Intratumoral TDC was 375% higher (95% CI: 187-686%, P < 0.001) after CPC634 administration, while released docetaxel was comparable to Cd (+8%, 95% CI: -30-+69%, P = 0.71).
Conclusions
The plasma PK profile of CPC634 is favorable compared to Cd since a lower Cmax, lower clearance and prolonged higher systemic exposure is seen. Higher intratumoral TDC levels were reached with CPC634, while released docetaxel levels were comparable to Cd. The almost 4-fold increased tumor accumulation for prolonged period of time of TDC supports the expectation that CPC634 will exhibit beneficial efficacy/safety balance. Additional studies assessing the intratumoral exposure to CPC634 (NCT0371243) and a phase II efficacy study of CPC634 in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients (NCT03742713) are currently ongoing.
