Abstract

Purpose: Originally isolated on the basis of its ability to induce p53, serdemetan showed potent activity in various preclinical models, inducing S-phase arrest and apoptosis in TP53 wild-type and mutant tumors. This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of serdemetan, determined the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles, and identified a recommended phase II dose. Patients and Methods: Patients (71) with refractory solid tumors were allocated to dose-escalating cohorts (3+3 patients each) and received oral serdemetan once daily in 21-day cycles to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). Plasma was collected for pharmacokinetic analyses. Paired baseline and on-treatment skin and tumor biopsies were done; blood samples were collected for pharmacodynamic analyses, including p53 and macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 induction. Results: The MTD of serdemetan was determined to be 350 mg once daily. During this study, grade 3 QTc prolongation was the most common DLT and nausea (66.2%) was the most frequent treatment-emergent adverse event. Serdemetan was rapidly absorbed after oral administration and exhibited dose-proportional pharmacokinetics. At steady state, mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 2,330 ng/mL and mean area under plasma concentration curve (AUC0–24h) was 43.0 μg.h/mL, with serdemetan 300 mg/d. There was a dose- and exposure-dependent p53 induction. One patient with breast cancer showed a partial response; 22 (38.6%) patients had stable disease. Conclusions: Serdemetan treatment was associated with p53 induction in both tumor and surrogate tissue pharmacodynamic studies and modest clinical activity. Although serdemetan was well tolerated with dose-proportional pharmacokinetics, exposure-related QTc liability was observed. Clin Cancer Res; 17(19); 6313–21. ©2011 AACR.

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.
