Special Category: NIH Clinical Center trial

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of Hsp90 inhibitor SNX-5422 mesylate in patients with refractory solid tumors or lymphomas.
  2. Characterize the safety profile of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Investigate the effects of this drug on Hsp90 client proteins using pharmacodynamic assays.
  2. Investigate the effects of this drug on tumor response (by RECIST criteria) and on lymphoma response (by standardized lymphoma criteria) in these patients.
  3. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of SNX-2112 and prodrug Hsp90 inhibitor SNX-5422 mesylate in humans.

Entry Criteria

    • Ongoing or uncontrolled, symptomatic congestive heart failure (AHA Class II or worse)
    • Uncontrolled hypertension
    • Unstable angina pectoris
    • Cardiac arrhythmia
    • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • No chronic diarrhea

Secondary Outcome(s)

Pharmacokinetic profile of Hsp90 inhibitor SNX- 5422 mesylate and its metabolite, SNX-2112, in humans

Outline

Patients receive oral Hsp90 inhibitor SNX-5422 mesylate twice weekly in weeks 1-4. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood and urine sample collection for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic analysis in course 1. Samples are evaluated using high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry to measure plasma and urine concentrations of Hsp90 inhibitor SNX-5422 mesylate and its metabolite, SNX-2112. Analyses of Hsp90 clients in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the effect of Hsp90 inhibitor SNX-5422 on Hsp90 clients in tumor tissue are performed.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
