Abstract:
Background: Based upon preclinical synergy and prior phase 1 study results, the clinical efficacy of flavopiridol combined with cisplatin was assessed in patients with recurrent ovarian and primary peritoneal cancers. Methods: A two cohort phase 2 trial of cisplatin (60 mg/m2 IV) followed by flavopiridol (100 mg/m2 IV, 24 h continuous infusion; 21 day cycles) was undertaken in patients with recurrent platin-sensitive or platin-resistant ovarian/primary peritoneal cancers (defined by disease progression & gt; vs. & lt;6 months following platin-based therapy). Measurable disease (RECIST criteria) – or evaluable disease plus CA125 & gt;2X the post-treatment nadir – was required, as was ECOG performance & lt;2 and exposure to only one prior treatment regimen. Results: Forty-five patients were enrolled between April 20, 2004 and March 4, 2010 – 40 platin-resistant patients (Group 1), and 5 platin-sensitive patients (Group 2). In Group 1, the median number of treatment cycles was 3 (range 2-12); 39 of the 40 eligible patients have now discontinued treatment. While only 10% of all patients incurred grade 4 toxicities, grade 3 toxicities were seen in the majority (65%). The most frequent grade 3 and 4 toxicities were neutropenia (all grade 3, 17.5%); nausea (12.5%); vomiting, fatigue, thrombosis, anemia (10% each). Sensory neuropathy, grade 1 or 2, was observed in 75% of all patients – with grade 3 and 4 neuropathy not observed primarily due to pre-specified aggressive dose reductions. Six patients (15%) in Group 1 achieved a confirmed response (1 CR, 5 PR), with a median response duration of 119 days (range 84-212). Ten additional Group 1 patients (32.5%) experienced maintained stable disease. Median Group 1 overall time to progression was 3.7 months; overall survival was 17.2 months. Pilot assessment of attained ascites flavopiridol level and sensitivity of patient ascitic tumor cells to flavopiridol confirmed that patient flavopiridol levels were consistent with observed clinical antitumor efficacy. In Group 2, although 2 of 5 patients also responded (40%; 2 PR), the cohort was closed due to poor accrual. Conclusions: The combination of flavopiridol and cisplatin has promising clinical activity in both platin-sensitive and platin-resistant ovarian and primary peritoneal cancers.
