Abstract

Background E7070 is a novel antitumor sulfonamide which blocks the cell in G1 phase. A phase I study was initiated to investigate the toxicity, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and pharmacokinetics of this compound when administered intravenously at a daily times five schedule once every three weeks.Patients and methods Patients with solid tumors not amenable to standard forms of therapy were eligible. E7070 was administered to cohorts of 3-6 patients per dose level, the starting dose was 10 mg/m2/day. Dose escalation was performed according to a Fibonacci-like scheme.Results Thirty-three patients entered the study. At E7070 doses of 200 and 160 mg/m2/day dose-limiting toxicities occurred, which consisted of febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia. diarrhea, skin folliculitis, asthenia, and stomatitis. The pharmacokinetic profile of E7070 at this schedule is non-linear with increasing dose. A partial response was observed in a patient with heavily pretreated breast cancer. Disease stabilizations and some minor responses were also documented.Conclusions Myelosuppression is the predominant toxicity of E7070. Clinical efficacy with E7070 was observed. The recommended dose for further studies at this daily times five schedule is 130 mg/m2/day.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Kinetic and structural analyses revealed relatively weak drug-protein interactions stabilized by ternary docking across broad protein-protein interfaces, resulting in highly selective drug-dependent degradation of RBM39 and its paralogue RBM23.

    “Kinetic and structural analyses revealed relatively weak drug–protein interactions that are stabilized by ternary docking across broad protein–protein interfaces, which results in highly selective drug-dependent protein degradation of RBM39 and its paralogue RBM23179–181.”
  • Two additional, entirely distinct classes of small-molecule molecular glue degraders have been discovered.

    “Two additional, entirely distinct classes of small-molecule molecular glue degraders have been discovered.”
  • RBM39 (CAPERα) is the direct molecular target responsible for the antitumour effect of aryl sulfonamides, which recruit RBM39 to CRL4DCAF15 for polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation.

    “Two independent groups identified RNA-binding motif protein 39 (RBM39, also known as CAPERα), a nuclear protein involved in pre-mRNA splicing, as the direct molecular target responsible for the antitumour effect of these sulfonamides, which recruit this splicing factor to the CRL4DCAF15 E3 ubiquitin ligase for polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation177–179.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
