Abstract

Abstract only Background: Perifosine (P), a synthetic alkylphospholipid, inhibits or modifies multiple signal transduction pathways, including AKT, MAPK and JNK. A small randomized phase II study of P 50 mg PO QD d1-21 + CAP 825 mg/m2 PO BID d1-14 (P-CAP) vs. placebo + CAP 825 mg/m2 PO BID d1-14 in pts with advanced mCRC showed improved TTP and OS of P-CAP vs. placebo + CAP. A more commonly used dose of CAP in the U.S. is 1,000 mg/m2 PO BID. This study evaluated the safety and PK of P 50 mg PO QD d1-21 + CAP 1,000 mg/m2 BID d1-14. Methods: Pts with refractory mCRC received P 50 mg PO QD d 1-21 + CAP 1,000 mg/m2 BID d1- 14. Pts were enrolled in a 3+3 fashion, with a total of 9 patients treated if the dose was tolerated for further safety and PK data. PK of P and CAP were evaluated C1D1 and C1D11 (steady-state). Plasma concentrations were evaluated by a validated LCMS assay with PK parameters determined with Win Non Lin version 5.2. Results: 10 pts were enrolled. Median age 65 (54-72); 70% female. Median prior Rx = 3 (2-4). Prior Rx: FOLFOX (100%); FOLFIRI (100%); bevacizumab (100%); EGFR antibody (60%); progressed on prior 5-FU-based Rx (100%). 9 pts were evaluable for DLT; no DLTs were observed. 1 pt was inevaluable after stopping study drug after 2d for non-related AE. G 3/4 AE's ≥ 10%: dyspnea (10%), rash (10%), hyperkalemia (10%) and abdominal pain (10%). Perifosine PK results show a mean half-life of 5.66 ± 4.06 hours, Cmax of 2.66 ug/mL, AUC(0- 8) (C1D1) of 9.73 hr*ug/mL, CL of 5.66 mL/hr and a V of 26.5 L. Steady state AUC(0-8) was 21.8 hr*ug/mL. These data are consistent with single agent perifosine PK data, suggesting no perifosine PK change with the addition of capecitabine. Capecitabine PK evaluation is underway. As of Jan 2010, 3/10 pts have had one response assessment (9 wk scan). One pt had a 13% decrease in disease, and 1 pt had SD. 7/10 pts remain on study treatment. Conclusions: P 50 mg PO QD d1-21 + CAP 1,000 mg/m2 PO BID d 1-14 is a well-tolerated regimen for pts with mCRC. Updated PK, safety and efficacy results will be presented. A randomized phase III trial of P-CAP vs. placebo + CAP is planned for refractory colorectal cancer pts.
