Abstract:
18044 Background: Vorinostat is a small molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). HDAC inhibitors have shown preclinical activity in lung cancer and are postulated to have an antitumor effect by alteration in acetylation status of histone and non-histone proteins. Methods: Pts with relapsed NSCLC who failed no more than 1 prior cytotoxic therapy were eligible. Treatment: vorinostat, 400 mg po daily in a 21 day cycle. Primary objective: response rate (RR), with goal of at least one responder in first 14 evaluable pts. Secondary objectives: time to progression (TTP), overall survival (OS), safety, and correlative assays. Results: 14 pts enrolled from 12/05- 12/06. Median age 59.5 yrs (range 47–79). 11 females. PS 0:1, 10 pts:4 pts. Thirteen of 14 pts had only 1 prior cytotoxic regimen; 1 pt had only prior erlotinib. Best response to prior treatment: stable disease (SD; 11 pts), progressive disease (PD; 3 pts). Median time since last prior therapy: 2.1 mo (range 0.2–78.5). Vorinostat treatment compliance: 95.8 %. Two pts were not evaluable for response due to not completing Cycle 1 of treatment due to PD. No objective antitumor responses have been seen in the first 12 evaluable pts. Seven pts experienced SD (median 4.2 mo, range 2–10.7). Median TTP: 2.8 mo (range 1–10.7+); median OS 6.5 mo (range 1.4–10.7+); estimated 6 mo OS rate 50% (SE 16%). Grade (Gr) 5 toxicity: CVA (1 pt). Gr 3/4 toxicities: neutropenia (Gr 4–1 pt), lymphopenia (Gr 3–2 pts), fatigue (Gr 3–1 pt), elevated alk phos (Gr 3–1 pt), memory impairment (Gr 3–1 pt), PE/DVT (Gr 3–1 pt; Gr 4–2 pts), dehydration (Gr 3–1 pt). Data from the following correlative studies will be updated: p53 status, gene expression, H3 acetylation, transcription of p21, Nur77, Hsp70, erbB1 and 2, and Akt, cell cycle arrest, and assay of isoprostanes generated by treatment with vorinostat. Conclusions: Vorinostat 400 mg daily is tolerable with more than 80% of patients completing Cycle 1. Vorinostat yields TTP in relapsed NSCLC similar to that of other targeted agents. Although 4 of 14 pts experienced vascular events on treatment, these occurrences are common in this disease setting. At least two additional pts are still to be accrued. Further studies in NSCLC should focus on combining vorinostat with other antitumor agents. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
