PG - 142-151 LID - 10.1007/s10637-020-00962-x [doi] AB - Temozolomide (TMZ) generates DNA adducts that are repaired by direct DNA and base excision repair mechanisms. Methoxyamine (MX, TRC-102) potentiates TMZ activity by binding to apurinic and apyrimidinic (AP) sites after removal of N(3)-methyladenine and N(7)-methylguanine, inhibiting site recognition of AP endonuclease. We conducted a phase I trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of intravenous MX when given with oral TMZ. Patients with advanced solid tumors and progression on standard treatment were enrolled to a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation trial assessing escalating doses of TMZ and MX. Tumor response was assessed per RECIST and adverse events (AEs) by CTCAEv3. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of MX and COMET assays on peripheral blood mononuclear cells were performed. 38 patients were enrolled-median age 59.5 years (38-76), mean number of cycles 2.9 [1-13]. No DLTs were observed. Cycle 1 grade 3 AEs included fatigue, lymphopenia, anemia, INR, leukopenia, neutropenia, allergic reaction, constipation, psychosis and paranoia. Cycle 2-13 grade 4 AEs included thrombocytopenia and confusion. A partial response was seen in 1 patient with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) and six additional patients, each with different tumor types, demonstrated prolonged stable disease. MX PK was linear with dose and was not affected by concomitant TMZ. TMZ 200 mg/m(2) daily x 5 may be safely administered with MX 150 mg/m(2) intravenously once on day 1 with minimal toxicity. Further studies assessing this drug combination in select tumor types where temozolomide has activity may be warranted.
