Updated interim results of a phase 2 study of the mTOR inhibitor AP23573 in patients (pts) with advanced sarcomas of soft tissue or bone Sant P. Chawla, Anthony W. Tolcher, Kamalesh K. Sankhala,Arthur P. Staddon, Camille L. Bedrosian, and George D. Demetri for the AP23573 Sarcoma Study Group 20 November 2005 CTOS 10th Annual Meeting Boca Raton, FL
mTOR (FRBDomain) FKBP AP23573: Potent mTOR Inhibitor • Stable, non-prodrug rapamycin analog • Forms complex with mTOR • Low levels potently inhibit mTOR activity • Can be given i.v. or orally Metcalf CA et al. (2004) Proc Am Assoc Cancer Res 45:2476 CTOS Annual Meeting
Background – AP23573 for Sarcoma • Clinical rationale – AP23573 phase 1 trial results • Six of 7 sarcoma patients (pts) treated were progression-free at 6 months – all dose levels tested • Best response (RECIST) for sarcoma pts (one each) • PR – Carcinosarcoma (on study >2.5 yrs) • MR – GIST, Ewing’s sarcoma, Liposarcoma (on study >1 yr) • SD – Leiomyosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma Mita M, et al. (2004) Proc Eur J Cancer 40A, Abst. #409 CTOS Annual Meeting
Trial Objectives – Phase 2 • Primary • Clinical-benefit response • RECIST guidelines • CR or PR • SD ≥ 4 months • Positive outcome defined as clinical-benefit response per cohort > 25% (CR=complete response; PR=partial response; SD=stable disease) CTOS Annual Meeting
Trial Design • Open label, non-randomized, fixed-dose trial • 12.5 mg i.v., QDx5 schedule • Four parallel histological cohorts • Simon’s two-stage design within each cohort • At least 4/19 pts with clinical benefit (Stage 1) • Each cohort expands to at least 44 pts (Stage 2) CTOS Annual Meeting
