    Abstract: 2564 Background: E7389 is a structurally simplified synthetic macrocyclic ketone analog of the marine sponge natural product Halichondrin B, which inhibits microtubule dynamics via a novel mechanism characterized by suppression of microtubule growth, lack of effect on microtubule depolymerization, and sequestration of tubulin into nonfunctional aggregates. Methods: The goals of this trial were to determine the DLT, the MTD, and PK of E7389 (administered on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days) in combination with CDDP (administered on day 1 every 28 days) in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors. The protocol was amended after dose level 4 (E7389 1.4 mg/m 2 , CDDP 60 mg/m 2 ) when it was not feasible to administer E7389 on day 15 due to neutropenia; the treatment schedule was changed to E7389 days 1 and 8 and CDDP day 1 every 21 days. Eligibility criteria included normal organ function and 〈 2 prior chemotherapy regimens. Results: To date, 36 pts have been treated (E7389 0.7-1.4 mg/m 2 and CDDP 60-75 mg/m 2 ). Median age 61 years; 19 males; the most common tumor types were lung (8), pancreatic (5), head and neck (6). 36% ECOG 0, 56% ECOG 1, 8% ECOG 2; Median number of cycles was 3 (1 – 8). There were 3 pts with DLT’s on the 28-day cycle: gr 4 febrile neutropenia (1.0/60); gr 3 anorexia/fatigue/hypokalemia (1.2/60); and gr 3 stomatitis/fatigue (1.4/60). There were 3 pts with DLTs treated on the 21-day schedule: gr 3 hypokalemia/hyponatremia (1.4/60); gr 4 mucositis (1.4/60); and gr 3 hypokalemia (1.2/75). With 2 DLTs out of 6 pts at E7389 1.4 mg/m 2 and CDDP 60 mg/m 2 , E7389 was reduced, CDDP was escalated, and the MTD was determined to be E7389 1.2 mg/m 2 and CDDP 75 mg/m 2 (1 patient out of 6 with a DLT). At the MTD, protocol defined dose modifications or delays were required in 2 of the 6 patients by cycle 2. Notably, all DLTs were observed in patients exposed to at least 2 prior lines of chemotherapy. Two pts had an unconfirmed PR (pancreatic, breast) and 2 had a PR (esophagus, transitional bladder). Conclusions: On a 21 day schedule,E7389 in combination with CDDP appears well tolerated and showed preliminary activity. The MTD was determined to be E7389 1.2 mg/m 2 and CDDP 75 mg/m 2 . Clinical trial information: 00400829.

    Abstract: TPS4145 Background: Pancreatic cancer remains a deadly disease and despite advances in chemotherapy treatment, survival for most patients is still less than one year. Over 80% of pancreatic cancers are KRAS mutant which activates the PI3K/AKT pathway and signals downstream to mTOR leading to cell growth, proliferation and survival. Recent data has shown that blocking both the PI3K/AKT and MEK pathways simultaneously is effective in KRASmutant tumors. Our trial is a novel, molecular targeted treatment approach for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that has the potential to establish a new treatment paradigm. Methods: S1115 was activated in SWOG in August 2012 and is currently IRB approved at 130 institutions within SWOG and the Clinical Trials Support Unit (CTSU). Patients (performance status 0 or 1) with metastatic pancreatic cancer failing standard gemcitabine chemotherapy are randomized to MK-2206 135 mg orally weekly plus selumetinib 100 mg orally daily or mFOLFOX IV every 2 weeks. Eligibility criteria allow metastatic patients who have progressed within 6 months of receiving adjuvant gemcitabine. Patients receiving prior 5-fluorouracil (excluding radiation-sensitizing doses), capecitabine, oxaliplatin, MEK or PI3K/AKT inhibitors are not eligible. Stratification factors include duration of prior systemic therapy and presence of liver metastases. The primary endpoint of this study is overall survival (OS) in patients treated with the combination of MK-2206 and selumetinib compared with those treated with mFOLFOX. Based on previous studies, median OS in the control group is approximately 6 months. Assuming a one-sided type 1 error of 10%, 80% power, approximately 2 years of accrual and 1.5 years of follow-up, 120 eligible patients will be accrued to detect an improvement in median survival from 6 to 9 months (corresponding to a 1.5 hazard ratio). Prospective tumoral tissue collection will be undertaken. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01658943. Support: NCI grants CA32102 & CA38926 Clinical trial information: NCT01658943.

    Abstract: 3078 Background: Dasatinib (D) is a first in class Src kinase inhibitor, and inhibits BCR-Abl, c-Kit, PDGFR-beta, EPHA2 and Src family kinases including Src, Lck, Yes, Fyn at nanomolar concentrations. Initially FDA approved for use in imatinib resistant CML. It is a small molecule targeted therapy hepatically metabolized primarily by CYP3A4. We conducted a phase I study to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of D in patients (pts) with liver dysfunction (LD). Methods: Pts with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, Zubrod ≤2, no baseline ascites or pleural effusions, adequate renal and bone marrow function, received PO D daily. Cycles q28 days. Pts stratified into 4 LD groups: normal, mild, moderate, severe, using Child-Pugh classification (CPC). Data also collected for NCI ODWG Organ Dysfunction Working GroupCriteria. D dose was escalated in sequential cohorts of pts within each LD category. Blood analysis for D concentrations were determined during cycle 1 using a validated LC-MC/MS assay. Study objectives included characterizing safety, tolerability, PK, identifying the MTD and obtaining preliminary evidence of efficacy. Results: 54 registered pts, 51 pts received 51 cycles of D at doses starting at 100 mg in mild LD (50-140 mg). Median age 60, male 55%, Zubrod 1 70%. CRC 27%. Groups: normal-17, mild-20, moderate-13, severe-1 pt(s). Related AEs include fatigue 35%, diarrhea 27%, anemia 27%, nausea 25%, vomiting 21%, lymphopenia 13%, rash 13%, pleural effusion 8%. 1 DLT of increased CK in a pt in moderate LD with past history of similar episode with previous sorafenib. Previous linear PK disposition, and no accumulation. No apparent PK differences between normal and mild groups. Cycle 1 Day 1 D 140 mg Normal Group: C max 129 ng/mL. Mild Group 140mg: C max 157 ng/mL. Prolonged disease stabilization (≥4 cycles) in 6 pts, 3 CRC (4,5,8); 1 Pancreas, HCC, Bladder (4,5,6). Conclusions: Recommended dose for Dasatinib given PO QD for pts with mild, moderate, or severe LD using clinical criteria with CPC and no baseline ascites, are 140 mg, 70 mg, insufficient pts, respectively. Dose adjustment not necessary in pts with mild LD.

    Abstract: 241 Background: While surgical resection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma provides the only chance of cure, long-term survival is still poor. Immunotherapy approaches may improve outcomes. Gene Mediated Cytotoxic Immunotherapy (GMCI) generates a systemic anti-tumor vaccine effect through intra-tumoral delivery of an adenoviral vector expressing the HSV-thymidine kinase gene (AdV-tk) followed by anti-herpetic prodrug administration. This is the first application of GMCI in pancreatic cancer. Methods: This study evaluated 4 dose levels of AdV-tk (3x10 10 to 1x10 12 vector particles) injected into pancreatic tumors via EUS 2 weeks before resection. Patients then underwent attempt at resection. If resection was undertaken, AdV-tk was injected into the resection bed. If resection was not possible, AdV-tk was injected into the primary tumor. The prodrug, Valacyclovir, was given for 14 days after each injection. Postoperative therapy was not protocol-driven. Results: The study accrued 14 patients with 12 completing therapy: 3 at each of the 4 planned dose levels. One patient died of an unrelated myocardial infarction 2 days after initial injection and one patient dropped out mid-treatment after metastases were found at surgery. Median age was 67 years (range 40-81). Of 12 patients explored, 4 were not resected due to distant metastases (N=3) or locally advanced disease (N=1). Three patients had Grade 3 possibly-related adverse events: 2 abdominal pain and one dehydration with renal insufficiency. There were no dose limiting toxicities and no grade 4 clinical adverse events. Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormalities were AST/ALT, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and lipase, all in patients with obstructive jaundice. Post-operative complications included 2 patients who developed abscesses requiring drainage. Six of 12 patients are alive 5-34 months after start of treatment including 5 resected patients and one unresected. Conclusions: AdV-tk can be safely injected into potentially resectable pancreatic tumors prior to planned resection. Early results are encouraging and justify further evaluation in a Phase 2 study.

    Abstract: 3089 Background: Despite chemotherapy, survival for most patients with metastatic gastrointestinal cancer is 〈 2 years. These dismal statistics reflect lack of effective therapy. We are conducting a first-in-human trial of modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA), an attenuated viral vaccine that targets wild-type (wt) p53. This approach applies to the majority of p53-involved tumors, since the bulk of the p53 sequence is identical, except for individual point mutations. Our phase I study evaluates the safety and tolerability of the vaccine. Methods: Patients with metastatic colon, gastric and pancreas cancer that failed standard treatment were eligible for vaccination if 〉 10% of the cells stained strongly positive for p53. A standard 3+3 design was employed and patients were accrued to either the 10 8 pfu or 5.6 x 10 8 pfu dose levels. A total of 3 injections were given, each spaced apart by 3 weeks and patients were evaluated for dose limiting toxicities. Results: Three patients were accrued to the 10 8 pfu dose level; 2 patients with colon cancer and 1 patient with pancreatic cancer. There were no dose limiting toxicities and the injection was well tolerated and only local irritation at the injection site was seen. The dose was escalated to 5.6 x 10 8 pfu; 3 patients were accrued, 1 with colon cancer and 2 with pancreatic cancer. There were no dose limiting toxicities observed in the 3 patients. Grade 2 toxicities that were at least possibly related to the vaccine include injection site reaction and fatigue seen in one patient each. One patient with pancreatic cancer had stable disease on CT after completion of the 3 injections. This dose level is being expanded to accrue an additional 6 patients to evaluate safety and immunogenicity using cytokine flow cytometry to characterize p53-specific CD4 + and CD8 + T cell response. Of the cell-surface markers employed, PD1 showed extraordinary strong expression prior to vaccine injection. All patients had a humoral response to the MVA backbone. Conclusions: Our MVA p53 vaccine is well tolerated with minimal grade 1-2 toxicities. The highest dose tested is 5.6 x 10 8 pfu and additional patients are being accrued to evaluate immunogenicity. Since many cancers have mutant p53, this is an attractive target and may potentially be used with many other cancers. Clinical trial information: NCT01191684.

    Abstract: e14182 Background: Significant treatment advances have doubled the median survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). An emerging body of literature links cancer with aberrant metabolism. These findings suggest that treatment directed against CRC metabolism may add to improved survival outcomes. The bile acid, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), lowers cholesterol and improves insulin sensitivity when used clinically. Moreover, UDCA protects against intestinal polyp development in animal and human studies. UDCA effects may be mediated through activation of FXR, since bile acids are the endogenous ligands for this nuclear receptor. FXR is a tumor suppressor in mouse models of colon cancer and a prognostic biomarker in patients with CRC. Activation of FXR with bile acids in mouse models suppresses intestinal tumorigenesis. We propose to determine the dose and safety of UDCA when added to standard therapy for mCRC. Methods: Trial Design: UDCA doses will be escalated using a 3+3 design which will stop at the MTD or at two levels above an Active Dose (AD), whichever is the lowest. The AD is defined as the dose that will activate FXR. After a 7 day run-in period of UDCA only, cytotoxic combination chemotherapy and antiangiogenic agent for mCRC will be given along with the UDCA. The use of a run-in period allows for metabolic studies to identify serum biomarkers of FXR activation and to determine an AD. Treatment or intervention planned: UDCA is given during a run-in period of 7 days. At the end of the run-in period, standard doses of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab are added. Patients are treated until excessive toxicity, progression of disease, or surgical resection. Major eligibility criteria: Patients with mCRC are eligible. Patients with greater than 10% body weight loss within 6 months of entering the protocol, a diagnosis of diabetes and active diabetes treatment are excluded from the study. Results: Current enrollment: Cohorts 1, 2, 3 have been completed without DLT. Enrollment to Cohort 4 began in 12/2011. Conclusions: Continue dose escalation until MTD or 2 levels above AD.Clinical trial registry number: NCT00873275.

    Abstract: 3108 Background: Preclinical data has demonstrated that B when combined with camptothecins enhances apoptotic effects which may be independent of NF-κB status and dependent on the sequence of exposure to the proteasome inhibitor. Other data suggests PK interactions of B with some chemotherapeutic agents. It is hypothesized that B will act synergistically with T and enhance the apoptotic effects of T. Conflicting data exists regarding schedule dependent synergistic cytotoxicity of the combination. This study examined both sequences of administration and determined the PK of each sequence. Methods: A standard 3 + 3 schedule was used in both sequences (S). The dose of B was fixed with escalating doses of T. S1: B 1.3 mg/m 2 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. T 2 to 3.5 mg/m 2 on days 1 and 8 was given 6 h before B. S2: B 1.3 mg/m 2 on days 1, 4, 8, 11 followed by T 2 to 3 mg/m 2 given 6 h after B. Cycle length was q28 days. PK sampling for both sequences was performed. Results: 54 pts (S1: 27, S2: 27) received a median of 2 cycles (range 1-7) of therapy. Pts were heavily pre-treated. For S1, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of B and T were 1.3 and 3 mg/m 2 respectively. For S2, the MTD of B and T were 1.3 and 2.5 mg/m 2 respectively. Dose-limiting toxicities (2 pt in each sequence) were gr 3 thrombocytopenia in S1, and gr 4 thrombocytopenia in S2. Stable disease was seen in 6/27 pts in S1, and 6/27 in S2. PK results for S2 show no significant difference between the day 1 and day 8 PKs. However, the mean AUC (454±150 mg/Lxhr) and Cmax (123±51 mg/L) at the MTD of 2.5 mg/m 2 reached on this trial is similar to those reported with single agent doses of 4 mg/m 2 given over 30 minutes weekly x 3. As a result, the estimated topotecan clearance (11.3±5 L/hr) when given following bortezomib is approximately one half of the reported clearance for the single agent. (Curtis et al, J Clin Pharmacol, 50:268, 2010). Conclusions: The tolerability and toxicity of both sequences was similar. MTD differs with S2 having a lower tolerated dose of T. PK results suggest a possible drug-drug interaction with decreased clearance of T with S2. PK results for S1 are pending. Supported by CCSG CA62505.

    Abstract: Aim. To summarize all relevant trials and critically evaluate the effect of acupuncture on heart rate variability (HRV). Method. This was a systematic review with meta-analysis. Keyword search was conducted in 7 databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data extraction and risk of bias were done. Results. Fourteen included studies showed a decreasing effect of acupuncture on low frequency (LF) and low frequency to high frequency ratio (LF/HF ratio) of HRV for nonhealthy subjects and on normalized low frequency (LF norm) for healthy subjects. The overall effect was in favour of the sham/control group for high frequency (HF) in nonhealthy subjects and for normalized high frequency (HF norm) in healthy subjects. Significant decreasing effect on HF and LF/HF ratio of HRV when acupuncture was performed on ST36 among healthy subjects and PC6 among both healthy and nonhealthy subjects, respectively. Discussion. This study partially supports the possible effect of acupuncture in modulating the LF of HRV in both healthy and nonhealthy subjects, while previous review reported that acupuncture did not have any convincing effect on HRV in healthy subjects. More published work is needed in this area to determine if HRV can be an indicator of the therapeutic effect of acupuncture.
