Abstract 1844
Background
Vinorelbine (VNB) is a member of vinca alkaloid medications and approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer as well as off-label use for metastatic breast cancer over 20 years based upon FDA-approved indication. Several studies have suggested the potential of VNB in treating sarcomas. Liposomal VNB (TLC178) is a novel sustained release liposomal formulation. In the presented studies, TLC178 resulted in enhanced tumor accumulation and greater anti-tumor efficacy than non-liposomal VNB.
Methods
Mice were subcutaneously inoculated with human sarcoma cell lines (1.5∼4 × 106/mouse) at the dorsal-lateral flank. Treatment was commenced once tumor size reached 150 to 400 mm3 in average. Mice were intravenously (i.v.) injected with test articles by groups.Table:

Study # | Cell Type [Cell Density] | Initial Tumor Size (mm3) | Treatment Group (Dosage) | Dosing Regimen |
---|---|---|---|---|
PD17060 | Human Rhabdomyo- sarcoma (RMS) cell line (SJCRH30) [1.5 × 106/mouse] | 200 | Saline TLC178 (5 mg/kg) VNB solution (5 mg/kg) | TLC178 and VNB were injected at a 4-day interval for three doses. |
PD17069 | Human RMS cell line (SJCRH30) [4 × 106/mouse] | 150 | Saline TLC178 (7.5 mg/kg) VNB solution (10 mg/kg) + cyclophosphamide (CTX) (19.8 mg/kg) | TLC178 and VNB were injected once weekly for two doses while CTX was administrated at 19.8 mg/kg on day 0, 7 and 50 mg/kg on day 8. |
PD17008 | Human fibrosarcoma cell line (HT1080) [2.2 × 106/mouse] | 390 | D5W TLC178 (5 mg/kg) Doxorubicin (3.4 mg/kg) | TLC178 and doxorubicin were injected at a 4-day interval for two doses. |
PK17066 | Human RMS cell line (SJCRH30) [2.3 × 106/mouse] | 150 to 400 | TLC178 (5 mg/kg) TLC178 (10 mg/kg) VNB solution (10 mg/kg) | Single injection |
*Tumor size was monitored with digital caliper during the study. * Plasma and tumors were collected to determine VNB concentration in bio-distribution study. * Saline or D5W (Dextrose 5% in Water) was used as the control group according to the study design. * VNB solution is vinorelbine injectable solution
Results
In efficacy studies (Study #PD17060, #PD17069 and #PD17008), TLC178 not only showed better inhibitory effect than that of VNB alone and VNB+CTX treatments in the SJCRH30 RMS xenograft model, but also remarkably suppressed HT1080 human fibrosarcoma compared with doxorubicin, an approved drug for treatment of sarcomas. In a biodistribution study (Study #PK17066), TLC178 yielded larger systemic exposure of total VNB (comprising liposome-encapsulated and unencapsulated VNB), higher local concentration and longer elimination half-life in tumor compared to VNB.
Conclusions
TLC178 demonstrated improved in vivo systemic VNB PK profile and tumor distribution, which resulted in superior anti-cancer efficacy compared to traditional VNB treatment. Therefore, TLC178 may have potential as a single or combination treatment for sarcomas with decreased dosage and/or frequency, reduced toxicity, and enhanced efficacy.
