Abstract
Oncogenic gene fusions of ROS1 or NTRK have been reported in various cancers. DS-6051b is an orally available small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with high affinity for the ROS1 and NTRK receptors. Non-clinical pharmacology studies demonstrated anticancer activity of DS-6051b against several types of human tumor harboring ROS1 or NTRK fusion gene in cultured cells and xenograft models. This is an ongoing phase 1 study in Japanese subjects with advanced solid tumors harboring either a ROS1 or NTRK fusion gene. Subjects receive doses of DS-6051b from 400mg to 800mg once daily (QD). Pharmacokinetics (PK) samples are collected from Day1 to Day22. Primary objective is to assess the safety profile and secondary objectives are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and to assess the PK profile. The efficacy of DS-6051b is an exploratory assessment performed by investigator judgment per RECIST v.1.1. As of June 27, 2016, a total of 9 subjects were enrolled. Median age was 51 (43-69) years, 56% were female, all 9 subjects were ROS1 fusion positive non-small cell lung cancer patients, and 3 subjects had prior crizotinib treatment. Subjects received DS-6051b at doses of 400mg QD (n=6) and 800mg QD (n=3). There were no DLTs in the 400mg QD cohort, and 2 out of 3 subjects in the 800mg QD cohort experienced DLT with grade 3 AST/ALT increased. To evaluate the MTD and RP2D more in detail, 600mg QD cohort is planned. Common adverse events were AST increased, ALT increased, diarrhea, and constipation. Among 7 patients who had target lesion, 4 subjects showed partial response, 3 subjects showed stable disease. PK data indicated the plasma drug concentration increases as the dose increases. This study is categorized as “Clinical Trial in Progress.” This study was initiated from February 2016 and estimated primary completion date will be September 2018.
