Abstract 1398
Background
Eribulin is approved for treatment of advanced/metastatic breast cancer and previously treated, unresected liposarcoma. E7389-LF is a liposomal formulation of eribulin. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in a prior phase 1 study was 1.4 mg/m2 Q3W or 1.5 mg/m2 Q2W.
Methods
The primary objective was to determine MTD and compare the tolerability of higher (> prior) Q3W doses vs the prior Q2W dose. E7389-LF was administered (3 + 3 design) intravenously Q3W (day 1 of a 21-day cycle) and Q2W (days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle) to solid tumor pts in Japan for which no alternative standard or effective therapy exists. Planned dose ranges were 1.0-2.5 mg/m2 Q3W and 1.0-1.5 mg/m2 Q2W.
Results
21 pts were enrolled; 3, 3 and 6 pts in 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/m2 Q3W; 3 and 6 pts in 1.0 and 1.5 mg/m2 Q2W, respectively. 10 pts were male, median age was 58 years (range, 22-68), and 11 had ECOG-PS 0. One dose-limiting toxicity was observed in the 2.0 mg/m2 Q3W group (febrile neutropenia; n = 6); thus, 2.5 mg/m2 Q3W was not assessed. Adverse events ≥ grade 3 included neutropenia (67%), leukopenia (48%), anemia (19%), increased ɣ-glutamyltransferase, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia (each 14%). The MTDs were 2.0 mg/m2 Q3W and 1.5 mg/m2 Q2W. Partial response was noted in 4 pts (19%) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, urothelial cancer, and small cell carcinoma of the cervix. Area-under-the-curve (AUC) values of total eribulin were higher and AUC of unbound eribulin in plasma lower with E7389-LF vs the standard dose of eribulin (Table).Table:
348P
Eribulin formulation/dose | Plasma AUC (h*ng/mL) of eribulin | |
---|---|---|
Total | Unbound | |
E7389-LF 1.0 mg/m2 | 26300 | 98.1 |
E7389-LF 1.5 mg/m2 | 34700 | 120 |
E7389-LF 2.0 mg/m2 | 39100 | 148 |
Standard eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 | 673 | 336 |
Conclusions
E7389-LF was well tolerated in Japanese pts with advanced solid tumors with antitumor effects in several tumor types. Plasma AUC of eribulin after administration of E7389-LF suggested a promising exposure profile of the liposomal formulation in humans. The 2.0 mg/m2 Q3W regimen was recommended for further investigation in an expansion cohort of specific tumor types.
