Phase I study of the effects of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of satraplatin in patients with refractory non-hematologic cancer

2045 Background: Satraplatin (S) is a third-generation oral platinum analog that has demonstrated activity in the treatment of patients with platinum-sensitive malignancies. A worldwide double-blind, placebo controlled randomized phase III trial evaluating S as 2nd line therapy for HRPC has recently completed enrollment. The current study was designed to determine the effect of hepatic impairment on S pharmacokinetics in patients with refractory cancer, as well as treatment efficacy and toxicity. Methods: S was administered orally at a dose of 80mg/m2/day (d) on d1–5 every 35 days. Study groups (cohorts) were defined at 4 levels of hepatic impairment - Group 1 (G1) = control; G2 = Child-Pugh Class A; G3 = Child-Pugh Class B; and Group 4 = Child-Pugh Class C. Results: 19 pts have been enrolled to date (11 M/ 8 F); median age is 57 (range 44–80). Pts with prostate (2), pancreas (4), colorectal (3), adenocystic (2), and 1 each neuroendocrine, hepatocellular, melanoma, breast, ovarian, SCLC, and anal cancers were enrolled. 8 pts were in G1, 3 pts in G2, 4 pts in G3, and 5 pts in G4. Accrual is ongoing in this study with a total of 8 pts planned for each group. The median number of prior regimens was 5 (range 2–8). A total of 35 cycles of S have been given: median 2/pt (range 1–4). 9 pts have completed 2 cycles of S. Hematologic toxicities during the first 2 cycles included grade (G) 3/4 thrombocytopenia in 15 %. There were no cases of G 3/4 neutropenia or anemia. One case of G3 hypokalemia, was reported. Two patients developed acute renal failure; one of which was due to uncontrolled nausea (N) and vomiting (V) and the other was associated with rapid disease progression in the liver. Both were G4 patients. Otherwise, N, V, and diarrhea were mild to moderate, and controlled with oral therapy. Conclusions: S is, in general, well tolerated in patients with mild or moderate liver impairment. Severe thrombocytopenia is the most common side-effect. Of the patients enrolled to date 15% did not have progression of disease. PK data will also be presented. [Table: see text]
