Objectives

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AFP464 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  2. Evaluate the toxicity profile of AFP464.
  3. Characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of AFP464 and aminoflavone in these patients.
  4. Identify any activity of AFP464 in patients with metastatic cancer.
  5. Explore whether AFP464 induces CYP1A1 expression in tumor as measured by pre- and post-treatment tumor biopsies at the MTD as well as in peripheral lymphocytes during the dose-escalation phase and at the MTD.
  6. Explore the relationship between the pharmacogenetic analysis and toxicity or response.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

    • Ongoing or active infection
    • Symptomatic congestive heart failure
    • Unstable angina pectoris
    • Cardiac arrhythmia
    • Psychiatric illness or social situation that would preclude study compliance
  • No seizure disorder
  • No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to AFP464

  • Willing to provide biologic specimens (blood and urine)

Expected Enrollment

70

A total of 70 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Overall toxicity incidence and toxicity profiles as measured by dose level and tumor site via the NCI CTCAE v 3.0
Overall response as measured by RECIST criteria every 6 weeks
Time to progression
Time to treatment failure
Pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion, computed and correlated with toxicity and response via Spearman correlation coefficients

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study followed by an open-label study.

Patients receive AFP464 IV over 3 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of AFP464 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 10 patients with accessible metastatic breast, renal, or ovarian cancer receive AFP464 as above at the MTD.

Blood, buccal cells, and urine are collected before beginning treatment and during course 1 and examined for biomarkers and biopharmacogenetics. Patients who are treated at the MTD also undergo biopsies before and after treatment. Samples are anlayzed via real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 3 months.

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.
