`
`Background: Pharmacodynamic (PD) studies, using either surrogate or tumor tissues, are
`
`frequently incorporated in Phase I trials. However, it has been less common to base dose
`
`selection, the primary endpoint in Phase I trials, in PD effects. We conducted a PD-based
`
`dose selection study with rapamycin (Rap). Methods: We used the modified continuous
`
`reassessment method (mCRM), a computer-based dose escalation algorithm, and adapted
`
`the logit function from its classic toxicity-based input data to a PD-based input. We coupled
`
`this design to a Phase I trial of Rap with 2 parts: a dose estimation phase where PD
`
`endpoints are measured in normal tissues and a confirmation phase where tumor tissue is
`
`assessed. Patients (pts) had solid tumors refractory to standard therapy. Rap was given
`
`starting at 2 mg/day continuously in 3-pt cohorts. The PD endpoint was pP70S6K in skin
`
`and tumor. Biopsies were done on days 0 and 28 of cycle 1, and a PD effect was defined
`
`as
`
` 80% inhibition from baseline. The first 2 dose levels (2 and 3 mgs) were evaluated
`
`before implementing the mCRM. The data was then fed to the computer that based on the
`
`PD effect calculated the next dose level. The mCRM was set so escalation continued until
`
`a dose level elicited a PD effect and the mCRM assigned the same dose to 8 consecutive
`
`pts, at which point the effect of that dose will be confirmed in tumor biopsies. Other
`
`correlates were PET-CT and pharmacokinetics. Results: Ten pts were enrolled at doses of
`
`2 mg (n = 4), 3 mg (n = 3) and 6 mg (n = 3). Toxicity was anemia (4 G1, 1 G2), leucopenia
`
`(1 G1, 2 G2), low ANC (2 G2), hyperglycemia (2 G1, 1 G2), hyperlipidemia (4 G1), and
`
`mucositis (1 G1, 1 G2). PD responses were seen in 2 and 1 pt at 2 and 3 mg dose levels.
`
`Input of data to the mCRM selected a dose of 6 mg for the third cohort, where PD effect
`
`was seen in 1 pt, and thus a fourth dose around 9 mg will be tested. No responses by
`
`RECIST occurred, but 2 pts had a response by PET. The PK was consistent with prior data
`
`(t1/2 24.6 ± 10.2 h, CL 31.4 ± 12.0 L/h, vol of distribution 235 ± 65 L), and exposure
`
`increased with dose. Steady-state concentration were in the 5–20 nM range. Conclusions:
`
`mCRM-based dose escalation based on real-time PD assessment is feasible and permits
`
`the exploitation of PD effects for dose selection in a rational manner.
`
`No significant financial relationships to disclose.
