Abstract Introduction: LMP744 (NSC706744) is one of 3 indenoisoquinolines being evaluated in pet dogs with lymphoma to define their safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic modulation (COTC007b). LMP744 forms stable DNA-topoisomerase I (Top1) cleavage complexes and induces unique DNA cleavage sites relative to approved Top1 poisons; LMP744 is not a substrate for ABC transporters and does not have the stability issues inherent to camptothecins. Here we report the plasma and tumor pharmacokinetics of LMP744 administered IV daily x 5 to patient dogs. Methods: Eligibility included: dogs >15 kg with histologically confirmed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with nodal presentation (stage 2 or greater) and minimal nodes size for biopsy of 3 cm in the longest dimension, performance status of Grade 0 or 1 and informed owner consent. Dose levels (DL) explored were 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mg/m2/day through a 3+3 dose escalation study design. LMP744 was administered over 1 h IV daily x 5, Q28D. LMP744 was quantitated with a validated LC-MS/MS assay, and plasma pharmacokinetic parameters determined non-compartmentally with PK Solutions and plasma and tumor parameters compartmentally with ADAPT5 through iterated two stage (ITS) and maximum likelihood solution with the expectation maximization algorithm (MLEM). Results: All 18 dogs had useable pharmacokinetic data. Non-compartmental analysis suggested linear relationships between plasma Cmax and tumor C2h vs. dose. LMP744 distributed extensively to tumor tissue and mean tumor concentrations were at least 2 orders of magnitude higher than plasma concentrations at equivalent time points of 2, 6 and 120 h. Compartmental modeling with a 3 compartment linear model resulted in a good fit to the plasma data. The parameters and%CVs respectively for Clt, Vc, Cld1, Vp1, Cld2, Vp2 were 57.5 L/h/m2 (29%), 136 L/m2 (24%), 234 L/h/m2 (24%), 1180 L/m2 (27%), 30.8 L/h/m2 (63%), 5140 L/m2 (67%). Sequential plasma half-lives were 16.5 min, 13 h, and 183 (31%) h, respectively. In line with the long t1/2, plasma accumulation was observed on this daily times-5 schedule. Conclusion: The plasma pharmacokinetics of LMP744 in dogs display triphasic behavior, a relatively high total body clearance at 57.5 L/h/m2, and a terminal half-life of 183 h. The favorable biodistribution to tumor may be a valuable distinction to consider in the translation of this novel indenoisoquinoline to the clinic.
