  Purpose

Studies done in the laboratory have demonstrated beneficial effects of ON 01910.Na, a new, unapproved drug, when it is used in combination either irinotecan and oxaliplatin, two approved, extensively used anti-cancer drugs. In these laboratory studies, mice implanted with cells (Bel-7402 cells) that came from a human tumor were used as a model of liver cancer. In mice that were not treated, the Bel-7402 cells formed very large tumors. In mice that were treated with ON 01910.Na, irinotecan or oxaliplatin alone, growth of tumors was reduced compared to the untreated group. When a combination of ON 01910.Na and irinotecan or of ON 01910.Na and oxaliplatin was used to treat the mice, tumor growth was completely inhibited. Another observation in these studies was that toxicity did not increase when the combinations were used. These results and similar results from other studies support the hypothesis that a combination of ON 01910.Na and irinotecan or of ON 01910.Na and oxaliplatin would be an effective and tolerable treatment for liver and other types of cancer.

The primary objective of this phase 1 study is to find out what doses of ON 01910.Na in combination with either irinotecan or oxaliplatin are safe and tolerable in patients with liver and other types of cancer.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Group A - irinotecan: Experimental

Note: As of Amendment 2 (March 2009), treatment in the irinotecan arm of the study (Group A) is closed to enrollment.

Treatment with escalating doses of ON 01910.Na in combination with irinotecan.

Drug: irinotecan and ON 01910.Na

ON 01910.Na will be administered by IV infusion over 24 hours once per week in a 6-week cycle (6 doses per cycle). The dose of ON 01910.Na will start at 250 mg/m2 and will proceed to higher levels based on safety of the combination regimen in the previous cohort.

Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 will initially be administered by IV infusion over 90 minutes q2 weeks of a 6-week cycle (3 doses per cycle). Dose modifications due to toxicity will be instituted according to approved labelling.

Group B - oxaliplatin: Experimental
Treatment with escalating doses of ON 01910.Na in combination with oxaliplatin.
Drug: oxaliplatin and ON 01910.Na

ON 01910.Na will be administered by IV infusion over 24 hours once per week in a 6-week cycle (6 doses per cycle). The dose of ON 01910.Na will start at 250 mg/m2 and will proceed to higher levels based on safety of the combination regimen in the previous cohort.

Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 will initially be administered by IV infusion over 120 minutes every 2 weeks of a 6-week cycle (3 doses per cycle). Dose modifications due to toxicity will be instituted according to approved labeling.


Detailed Description:

This is an open-label, 2-arm, dose-escalation combination-therapy study in which patients with hepatoma and other advanced malignancies will be assigned by the Investigator to dosing with either irinotecan plus ON 01910.Na (Group A), or oxaliplatin plus ON 01910.Na (Group B). Note: As of Amendment 2 of this protocol, treatment in the irinotecan arm of the study (Group A) is closed to enrollment and patients will be enrolled only in Group B, the oxaliplatin treatment arm. Patients will be enrolled in 1 of 4 Cohorts (4 sequential Cohorts in Group B) of 3 patients each. Up to 6 additional patients will be tested at the MTD.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female patients ≥18 years of age with histologically or cytologically confirmed hepatoma and other solid tumors that are metastatic or progressive, for whom no standard therapy holds curative potential and for whom irinotecan or oxaliplatin are reasonable treatment options.
  • Patients must have evaluable disease, either measurable on imaging or with informative tumor marker(s).
  • Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤2.
  • Life expectancy >12 weeks.
  • Any acute or chronic adverse effects of prior chemotherapy have resolved to <Grade 2 as determined by CTCAE v3 criteria.
  • Existing or planned central venous access with a 2-channel infusion catheter system.
  • Laboratory values meet the following criteria: Absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500 cells/µL; Platelets ≥100,000 cells/µL; Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal; AST (SGOT) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal; ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal; Serum creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL or a measured creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min; Negative βhCG test in women of childbearing potential (defined as women ≤50 years of age or history of amenorrhea for ≤12 months prior to study entry).
  • Patients with primary liver cancer or hepatic metastasis are eligible to enroll, provided they meet the following: Total bilirubin is ≤2 mg/dL; AST and ALT are each ≤5 times the institutional upper limit of normal; Ascites, if present, is manageable with diuretic agents alone.
  • If there is a history of treated brain metastases, these must have been clinically stable for ≥4 weeks prior to enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant or lactating.

  • Severe liver dysfunction (Child-Pugh Class C or uncompensated Class B with persistent encephalopathy, persistent ascites, or prothrombin time >1.5 times the upper limit of normal) is present.
  • Patients with a history of esophageal bleeding are excluded unless arices have been sclerosed or banded and bleeding episodes have not occurred during the prior 6 months.
  • Contraindications, including known hypersensitivity, to the assigned chemotherapy agent (i.e., irinotecan or oxaliplatin).
  • Prior receipt of ON 01910.Na or prior participation in this protocol.
  • Use of any investigational agents within 4 weeks of study enrollment.
