Phase I Trial and Pharmacokinetic Study of ABT-751, an Orally Bioavailable Tubulin Binding Agent, on a 7 Day and 21 Day Dosing Schedule in Pediatric Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxic effects of ABT-751
administered daily for 7 days every 21 days or daily for 21 days every 28 days in
children with refractory solid tumors.

- Determine the toxicity spectrum of these regimens in these patients.

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of these regimens in these patients.

- Evaluate the pharmacodynamics of this drug by measuring the fraction of tubulin that is
polymerized in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of these patients before and
after receiving this drug.

Secondary

- Quantify responses in patients treated with these regimens.

- Assess the effect of this drug on tumor vascularity and tumor blood flow using dynamic
enhanced MRI in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of 2 different schedules
of ABT-751. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 dosing schedules.

- Schedule 1 (closed to accrual as of 5/25/2009): Patients receive oral ABT-751 once
daily on days 1-7. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.

- Schedule 2 (closed to accrual as of 5/25/2009): Patients receive oral ABT-751 once
daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.

On each schedule, cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of ABT-751 until the
maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at
which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is
determined, up to 9 patients (a minimum of 3 patients age 11 and under and 3 patients age 12
to 18) are treated at the MTD.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 90 patients will be accrued for this study within 8 months.
