A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of a 2 Day Oral Lapatinib Chemosensitization Pulse Given Prior To Weekly Intravenous Abraxane™ in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a 2-day pulse of lapatinib that can be
given prior to paclitaxel (albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation ) (ABI-007;
Abraxane™) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

Secondary

- Define the toxicity of this regimen.

- Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor efficacy and safety of ABI-007 when preceded by
a 2-day pulse of lapatinib.

- Characterize the potential of the molecular markers within circulating tumor cells as
markers of response (e.g., HER2 and AKT) or apoptotic markers.

- Determine whether lapatinib given at MTD prior to ABI-007 alters the pharmacokinetic
properties of the paclitaxel component of ABI-007.

OUTLINE: This is a does-escalation study of lapatinib. Patients are stratified according to
dose level.

Patients receive oral lapatinib on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 and paclitaxel
(albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) (ABI-007; Abraxane™) IV over 30 minutes on
days 3, 10, and 17. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of lapatinib until the maximum tolerated
dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6
patients experience dose-limiting toxicities.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15 patients will be accrued for this study.
