摘要

Maximum tolerated dose, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics were assessed in this phase 1 study of PNT2258, a BCL-2-targeted liposomal formulation of a 24-base DNA oligonucleotide called PNT100. Patients with malignant solid tumors were assigned sequentially to one of ten dose-escalation cohorts of PNT2258 at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 85, 113, and 150 mg/m(2) administered intravenously on days 1 through 5 of each 21-day cycle. Pharmacokinetics were determined on days 1 and 5 of the first cycle. Lymphocyte and platelets concentrations were measured for evidence of BCL2-targeted effect. CT scans were used to identify radiologic evidence of anti-tumor effect. Twenty-two subjects received PNT2258, and the maximum tolerated dose for PNT2258 was not reached. Doses at or above 32 mg/m(2) resulted in exposure to PNT2258 above the exposure level required for anti-tumor activity in preclinical xenograft testing of 22,377 ng h/ml (PK analysis 2012). Fatigue was the most commonly reported adverse event. Dose-limiting toxicity, manifesting as a transient increase in aspartate aminotransferase, occurred at 150 mg/m(2), the highest dose tested. Four subjects, two each with diagnosis of non-small-cell lung cancer and sarcoma, treated at doses of 64 mg/m(2) or higher, remained on study for 5-8 cycles. PNT2258 was safe and well tolerated at the doses tested up to 150 mg/m(2). Exposure to PNT2258 resulted in clinically manageable decreases in lymphocyte and platelet concentrations.
