A Phase I, Dose-Escalating, Safety Study of an Intravenously Administered Pegylated Liposomal Mitomycin-C Lipid-based Prodrug (PL-MLP, PROMITIL) in Cancer Patients With Solid Tumors.

Fecha de inicio: 1 de octubre de 2012

Inclusion Criteria: Patients diagnosed with inoperable, recurrent or metastatic malignant solid tumors, deemed incurable, and who have either: Failed to respond to standard therapy or For whom no standard therapy is available or Refuse to receive standard therapies Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of solid tumor on file. Age 18-80 years BMI: 18-36 ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2 Estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months Adequate bone marrow function (an absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/mm3, hemoglobin ≥9.5 g/dl, HgbA1C≤7%, and a platelet count ≥100,000/mm3( Adequate liver function (serum bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/100 ml; alanine aminotransferase ≤2× ULN) Adequate renal function (serum creatinine ≤1.5 mg/100 ml or creatinine clearance ≥45 ml/min/1.73m2) No prior intravenous treatment with Mitomycin-C either alone or in combination No other myelosuppressive treatment within 4 weeks before start of the study drug. No other anti-cancer treatment within 2 weeks before start of the study drug No prior extensive radiotherapy (e.g., whole pelvis total neuroaxis or greater than 50% of neuroaxis, whole abdomen, whole body or half-body) or bone marrow transplantation with high dose chemotherapy and/or total body irradiation. Re-irradiation of a field in abdomen/pelvis will be considered as extensive radiotherapy, excluding such patients from the study. Women of child bearing potential practicing an acceptable method of birth control. Understanding of study procedures and willingness to comply for the entire length of the study and to give written informed consent. Additional criteria only for the Expanded Cohort and both Combination cohorts: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent and/or metastatic measurable or nonmeasurable CRC, with tissue or cytological diagnosis of cancer on file. Additional criteria only for the Expanded Cohort and both Combination cohort: Patients who demonstrated either progression or intolerance when treated with irinotecan and fluopyrimidine-based chemotherapy, and, in the case of K-ras wild type tumors, anti-EGFR antibodies (Cetuximab, Panitumumab). Prior treatment with oxaliplatin or bevacizumab is allowed but not required. Additional criteria only for the Expanded Cohort and both Combination cohorts: A ≥28 day treatment-free interval between last chemotherapeutic treatment and first treatment with Promitil, with the exception of Capecitabine and biological therapies, where 14-day treatment-free intervals suffice. this is also relevant for patients in the Combination Cohort that are currently taking Capecitabine prior to enter the study). Additional criteria for the Triple Combination Cohort with bevacizumab only: Prior exposure to oxaliplatin should have terminated at least 6 months before start of PROMITIL, whether given as adjuvant therapy or as therapy for metastatic disease. Additional criteria for the triple Combination Cohort with bevacizumab only: A ≥ 28 day treatment-free interval from last bevacizumab treatment Exclusion Criteria: Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or to any of its components CHF (NYHA = Class IV) or LVEF≤40% COPD > Stage 3 (FEV1<50%, FEV1/FVC<70%); Cirrhosis (Child-Pugh Class C score); Serum Albumin level < 3 g/dl Any other severe concurrent disease which in the judgment of the investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection History of chronic active hepatitis including subjects who are carriers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV). Presence of uncontrolled infection. Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis Brain metastases in symptomatic patients requiring ≥4 mg dexamethasone/day. However, patients with treated brain metastases by surgery or radiation who are stable and symptom-free (<4 mg dexamethasone/day) for a minimum period of 4 weeks post-treatment are eligible. Pregnant or lactating Treatment with other investigational drugs within 14 days of start of the study drug for non-myelosuppressive agents, and within 28 days of start of the study drug for myelosuppressive agents. Additional criteria for the Combination cohorts: Uncontrolled ascites (defined as 2 or more palliative taps in the last 30 days before screening). Additional criteria for the Combination cohorts with bevacizumab only: uncontrolled clinically significant cardiac disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, or angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident within 12 months of initiation of PROMITIL treatment. Additional criteria for the Combination cohorts with bevacizumab only: Any contraindication for treatment with Bevacizumab (e.g active bleeding, recent extensive surgery).
