This study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose of CP-DOX in dogs and evaluate its biodistribution profile and accumulation in healthy dogs. It also includes a Phase II clinical trial for canine high-grade B-cell lymphoma using CP-DOX. The study utilizes nanoparticles of elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) for drug delivery and purification.

SpecificAims • Production of large quantities of CP-DOX (Chilkoti Lab, Duke) • Determine the MTD of CP-DOX in normal dogs using an abbreviated 3 + 3 dose escalation trial (Suter Lab, NCSU) • Perform a PD study to examine the biodistribution profile and accumulation of CP-DOX in different organs in healthy dogs-paying particular attention to cardiac and gastrointestinal tissue ( Suter Lab, NCSU -Chilkoti Lab, Duke) • Perform a small Phase II clinical trial using CP-DOX at the MTD determined in SA1 against canine high-grade B-cell lymphoma (Terry Center Veterinary Hospital,Suter, NCSU )
Nanoparticles of Elastin-Like Polypeptide (ELP) to deliver chemotherapeutics • (VPGXG)n • Recombinantly produced in E. coli • Thermoresponsive • Monodisperse • Biocompatible • Biodegradable • Tunable (X, n) Ideal platform for drug delivery and purification

Pharmacodynamics CP-DOX injection (1 mg/kg BW) Tissue collection after 2 h and 24 h Tissue homogenization Acid incubation to release the Dox* Measurement of Dox concentration via fluorescence * Dox fluorescence is quenched upon conjugation to CP
Pharmacodynamics Lower heart accumulation ----> reduced Doxcardiotoxicity * * *
Pharmacodynamics CP-DOX has a longer plasma half-life than native DOX in dogs CP-DOX accumulates in the liver at higher levels than native DOX in dogs CP-DOX exhibits lower accumulation in the heart muscle than native DOX in dogs Canine PD Data Recapitulates our murine data Suggests that higher cumulative doses of CP-DOX can be given compared to native DOX while limiting cardiotoxicity Suggests that CP-DOX may have greater efficacy than native DOX due to the extended plasma half-life profile
3x3 CP-DOX dose escalation • Highest dose injected so far: • 3.5 mg/kg BW • No CBC/serum chemistry/GI • abnormalities have been observed (At 2mg/kg of native DOX (double the MTD) we would expect 100% of dogs to exhibit significant AEs.) • Temporary allergic reactions during the infusion are the only adverse events seen thus far-all dogs are now pre-medicated with diphenhydramine and prednisone Next dose *In the murine model, MTD of CP-Dox was 4-fold higher than that of native DOX
