Phase I Study of Dovitinib (TKI258) in Combination With Gemcitabine and Capecitabine in Advanced Solid Tumors and Pancreatic Cancer


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of dovitinib
(dovitinib lactate) when administered concurrently with gemcitabine (gemcitabine
hydrochloride) and capecitabine in patients with advanced solid malignancies.

II. To characterize the safety profile of dovitinib, gemcitabine and capecitabine
combination in patients with advanced solid malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of dovitinib, capecitabine, gemcitabine and
their metabolites when administered concurrently in patients with advanced solid
malignancies.

II. To determine the preliminary efficacy of the study combination in patients with advanced
solid tumors and pancreas adenocarcinoma.

III. To explore serum and tumor biomarkers predictive of efficacy to the study combination.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of dovitinib lactate.

Patients receive dovitinib lactate orally (PO) on days 1-5, 8-12, and 15-19, gemcitabine
hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8, and capecitabine PO twice
daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks and then every 3
months for 1 year.

to study entry, with exception of adequately treated in-situ carcinoma of the uterine
cervix, or skin cancer (such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or
non-melanomatous skin cancer)

including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy and monoclonal antibodies
(but excluding nitrosourea, mitomycin-C, targeted therapy and radiation) =< 4 weeks

therapy

- Patients who have received the last administration of nitrosourea or mitomycin-C =< 6
weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from the side effects
of such therapy

- Patients who have received targeted therapy (e.g. sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib) =<
2 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from the side effects
of such therapy

- Patients who have had radiotherapy =< 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or =<
weeks prior to starting study drug in the case of localized radiotherapy (e.g. for
analgesic purpose or for lytic lesions at risk of fracture), or who have not

medication
