Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of two formulations of CO-1.01 in patients with Advanced Solid Tumors.

Description:

Gemcitabine is used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy as a treatment for several solid tumor types, including pancreatic cancer, NSCLC, and ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, many patients fail to derive benefit from this treatment. No clinical or molecular marker has been established to predict benefit from gemcitabine therapy, so patients are treated empirically until evidence of disease progression or worsening performance status.

The potential for human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (hENT1) expression to predict survival in gemcitabine-treated patients has been studied, and data suggest that patients with low levels of tumor cell hENT1 expression derive less benefit from gemcitabine treatment than patients with high levels of tumor cell hENT1 expression. Furthermore, the PK profiles of CO-1.01 and gemcitabine are different, and this may also favorably influence the in vivo antiproliferative effects of CO-1.01. These data support the hypothesis that patients expressing low levels of hENT1 will derive minimal benefit from gemcitabine, but will receive benefit from CO-1.01 (gemcitabine elaidate) which enters tumor cells in a hENT1-independent fashion.

The formulation of CO-1.01 that is currently used in clinical studies contains 15 mg/mL of gemcitabine-5'-elaidate solubilized in purified phospholipids. Recently, Clovis Oncology developed a 30 mg/ml formulation which will be characterized in this study.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Life expectancy of at least 3 months

• Performance status (ECOG)0 or 1

• Age =18 years

• Adequate hematological and biological function

• Written consent on an Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee-approved IC Form prior to any study-specific evaluation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Clinically significant abnormal 12-lead ECG or QTcF>450msec (males) or >470 msec (females), PR>240 msec, or a QRS>110msec
