          Abstract

          Background

          This was a first in-human, open-label, dose-escalation phase I study conducted to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, and efficacy of the combination of oral binimetinib and FOLFOX.

          Materials and Methods

          Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who progressed on prior standard therapies received twice daily binimetinib continuously or intermittently with FOLFOX. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were assessed in the first 2 cycles of study treatment. Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of 5-FU and oxaliplatin was performed at the MTD in an expanded 6 patient cohort.

          Results

          Twenty-six patients were enrolled and assessed for safety. In the dose-escalation phase, no DLTs were noted in all binimetinib dosing schedules and the MTD of binimetinib in with FOLFOX was 45 mg orally twice daily. There were no significant differences in the PKs of 5-FU or oxaliplatin with or without binimetinib. Continuous dosing of binimetinib produced SD at 2 months in 9 of 13 evaluable patients and a median PFS of 3.5 months. Nine of 10 patients had PD at 2 months on the intermittent arm.

          Conclusions

          Oral binimetinib and FOLFOX has a manageable toxicity profile and showed some evidence of antitumor activity in heavily pretreated mCRC patients.

          OPTIMOX1: a randomized study of FOLFOX4 or FOLFOX7 with oxaliplatin in a stop-and-Go fashion in advanced colorectal cancer--a GERCOR study.

          In metastatic colorectal cancer, a combination of leucovorin (LV) and fluorouracil (FU) with oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) 4 is a standard first-line regimen. The cumulative neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin often requires therapy to be stopped in patients who are still responding. This study evaluates a new strategy of intermittent oxaliplatin treatment that is based on FOLFOX7, a simplified leucovorin and fluorouracil regimen with high-dose oxaliplatin. Previously untreated patients were randomly assigned to either FOLFOX4 administered every 2 weeks until progression (arm A) or FOLFOX7 for six cycles, maintenance without oxaliplatin for 12 cycles, and reintroduction of FOLFOX7 (arm B). Six hundred twenty patients were enrolled, including an exploratory cohort of 95 elderly or poor prognosis patients. Median progression-free survival and survival times were 9.0 and 19.3 months, respectively, in patients allocated to arm A compared with 8.7 and 21.2 months, respectively, in patients allocated to arm B (P = not significant). Response rates were 58.5% with arm A and 59.2% with arm B. National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria grade 3 or 4 toxicity was observed in 54.4% of the patients in arm A v 48.7% of patients in arm B. From cycle 7, fewer patients experienced grade 3 or 4 toxicity in arm B. Grade 3 sensory neuropathy was observed in 17.9% of the patients in arm A v 13.3% of patients in arm B (P = .12). In arm B, oxaliplatin was reintroduced in only 40.1% of the patients but achieved responses or stabilizations in 69.4% of these patients. Oxaliplatin can be safely stopped after six cycles in a FOLFOX regimen. Further study is needed to fully evaluate oxaliplatin reintroduction.

            ERCC1 and thymidylate synthase mRNA levels predict survival for colorectal cancer patients receiving combination oxaliplatin and fluorouracil chemotherapy.

            To test the hypotheses of whether the relative mRNA expression of the thymidylate synthase (TS) gene and the excision cross-complementing (ERCC1) gene are associated with response to and survival of fluorouracil (5-FU)/oxaliplatin chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients had progressive stage IV disease after unsuccessful 5-FU and irinotecan chemotherapy. All patients were evaluated for eligibility for a compassionate 5-FU/oxaliplatin protocol. cDNA was derived from paraffin-embedded tumor specimens to determine TS and ERCC1 mRNA expression relative to the internal reference gene beta-actin using fluorescence-based, real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The median TS gene expression level from 50 metastasized tumors was 3.4 x 10(-3) (minimum expression, 0.18 x 10(-3);maximum expression, 11.5 x 10(-3)), and the median ERCC1 gene expression level was 2.53 x 10(-3) (minimum, 0.0; maximum, 14.61 x 10(-3)). The gene expression cutoff values for chemotherapy nonresponse were 7.5 x 10(-3) for TS and 4.9 x 10(-3) for ERCC1. The median survival time for patients with TS

              Clinical pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin: a critical review.

              Oxaliplatin (cis-[(1R,2R)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N'] oxalato(2-)-O,O'] platinum; Eloxatine) is a novel platinum coordination complex used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma in combination with fluoropyrimidines. The objective of this review is to integrate the key data from multiple studies into a single, comprehensive overview of oxaliplatin disposition in cancer patients. The pharmacokinetics (PKs) of unbound platinum in plasma ultrafiltrate after oxaliplatin administration was triphasic, characterized by a short initial distribution phase and a long terminal elimination phase (t1/2, 252-273 h). No accumulation was observed in plasma ultrafiltrate after 130 mg/m2 every 3 weeks or 85 mg/m2 every 2 weeks. Interpatient and intrapatient variability in platinum exposure (area under the curve(0-48)) is moderate to low (33 and 5% respectively). In the blood, platinum binds irreversibly to plasma proteins (predominantly serum albumin) and erythrocytes. Accumulation of platinum in blood cells is not considered to be clinically significant. Platinum is rapidly cleared from plasma by covalent binding to tissues and renal elimination. Urinary excretion (53.8 +/- 9.1%) was the predominant route of platinum elimination, with fecal excretion accounting for only 2.1 +/- 1.9% of the administered dose 5 days postadministration. Tissue binding and renal elimination contribute equally to the clearance of ultrafilterable platinum from plasma. Renal clearance of platinum significantly correlated with glomerular filtration rate, indicating that glomerular filtration is the principal mechanism of platinum elimination by the kidneys. Clearance of ultrafilterable platinum is lower in patients with moderate renal impairment; however, no marked increase in drug toxicity was reported. The effect of severe renal impairment on platinum clearance and toxicity is currently unknown. Covariates such as age, sex, and hepatic impairment had no significant effect on the clearance of ultrafilterable platinum, and dose adjustment due to these variables is not required. Oxaliplatin undergoes rapid and extensive nonenzymatic biotransformation and is not subjected to CYP450-mediated metabolism. Up to 17 platinum-containing products have been observed in plasma ultrafiltrate samples from patients. These include several proximate cytotoxic species, including the monochloro-, dichloro-, and diaquo-diaminocyclohexane platinum complexes, along with several other noncytotoxic products. Oxaliplatin does not inhibit CYP450 isoenzymes in vitro. Platinum was not displaced from plasma proteins by a variety of concomitant medications tested in vitro, and no marked PK interactions between oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and irinothecan have been observed. These results indicate that the additive/synergistic antitumor activity observed with these agents is not due to major alterations in drug exposure, and the enhanced efficacy is likely to be mechanistically based. Together, these PK, biotransformation, drug-drug interaction analyses and studies in special patient populations provide a firm scientific basis for the safe and effective use of oxaliplatin in the clinic. These analyses also reveal that the pharmacological activity of oxaliplatin may be attributable, at least in part, to the unique pattern of platinum disposition observed in patients.
