Abstract
Iniparib is a prodrug that converts to highly reactive cytotoxic metabolites intracellularly with activity in preclinical glioma models. We investigated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of iniparib with monthly (m) and continuous (c) temozolomide (TMZ) dosing schedules in patients with malignant gliomas (MG). Adults with newly diagnosed MG who had successfully completed ≥80% of radiation (RT) and TMZ without toxicity received mTMZ dosing (150-200 mg/m(2) days 1-5/28 days) or cTMZ dosing (75 mg/m(2)/days × 6 weeks) in conjunction with iniparib (i.v. 2 days/week) in the adjuvant setting. Iniparib was dose escalated using a modified continual reassessment method (mCRM). 43 patients (32 male; 34 GBM, 8 AA, 1 gliosarcoma; median age 54 years; median KPS 90) were enrolled across 4 dose levels. In the mTMZ group, 2/4 patients had dose limiting toxicities (DLT) at 19 mg/kg/week (rash/hypersensitivity). At 17.2 mg/kg/week, 1/9 patients had a DLT (grade 3 fatigue). Additional grade 3 toxicities were neutropenia, lymphopenia, and nausea. In the cTMZ group, one DLT (thromboembolic event) occurred at 10.2 mg/kg/week. Dose escalation stopped at 16 mg/kg/week based on mCRM. The mean maximum plasma concentration of iniparib increased with dose. Concentration of the two major circulating metabolites, 4-iodo-3-aminobenzamide and 4-iodo-3-aminobenzoic acid, was ≤5% of the corresponding iniparib concentration. Iniparib is well tolerated, at doses higher than previously investigated, in combination with TMZ after completion of RT + TMZ in patients with MG. Recommended phase 2 dosing of iniparib based on mCRM is 17.2 mg/kg/week with mTMZ and 16 mg/kg/week with cTMZ. An efficacy study of TMZ/RT + iniparib followed by TMZ + iniparib in newly diagnosed GBM using these doses has completed enrollment. Survival assessment is ongoing.
