A Phase I Study Of BG In Combination With Ifosfamide For Advanced Solid Tumors


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of O6-benzylguanine when administered with standard
high-dose ifosfamide in patients with unresectable, metastatic solid tumors.

II. Determine whether O6-benzylguanine enhances ifosfamide-mediated myelosuppression in
patients treated with this regimen.

III. Determine the relationship between O6-benzylguanine dose and intra-individual
variability in the degree of myelosuppression in patients treated with this regimen.

IV. Determine the safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the effect of O6-benzylguanine on pharmacodynamic endpoints, including
apoptosis and DNA damage, in patients treated with this regimen.

II. Determine the pharmacokinetics of O6-benzylguanine and its major metabolite, 8-oxoBG, in
patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of
O6-benzylguanine.

Course 1: All patients receive high-dose ifosfamide IV continuously over 72 hours on days
1-3.

Course 2: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive high-dose ifosfamide as in course 1.

Arm II: Patients receive a bolus dose of O6-benzylguanine (BG) IV over 1 hour on day 1
followed by BG IV continuously and high-dose ifosfamide IV continuously over 72 hours on
days 1-3. Cohorts of 6-12 patients receive escalating doses of BG (administered as a bolus
and as a continuous infusion during course 2) until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is
determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 3 of 6 or 4 of 12
patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Course 3 and all subsequent courses: All patients receive BG (at the MTD determined in
course 2, arm II) and high-dose ifosfamide as in course 2, arm II. In all courses, all
patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood
counts recover. In all courses and in both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
