PURPOSE: BAY 43-9006 is a novel dual-action Raf kinase and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor that inhibits tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis. This study established the safety and pharmacokinetics of BAY 43-9006 in 69 patients with advanced refractory solid tumors.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: BAY 43-9006 (50 to 800 mg) was administered once or twice daily on a varying weekly schedule. Pharmacokinetic sampling was performed in all patients; preliminary tumor response was also assessed. The effect of BAY 43-9006 on phorbol myristate acetatestimulated ERK phosphorylation in peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied using flow cytometry.
RESULTS: Mild to moderate diarrhea was the most common (55%) treatment-related adverse event. The maximum-tolerated dose was 400 mg bid continuous. Dose-limiting toxicities were grade 3 diarrhea and fatigue at 800 mg bid, and grade 3 skin toxicity at 600 mg bid. BAY 43-9006 pharmacokinetics were highly variable for single and multiple dosing, and toxicity did not appear to be dose dependent. Significant decreases of phorbol myristate acetatestimulated ERK phosphorylation (P < .01) were identified at doses 200 mg bid continuous. Forty-five patients were assessable for efficacy; one patient had a partial response (hepatocellular carcinoma at 400 mg bid continuous), 25 patients had stable disease, with eight lasting > 6 months and five for >12 months. Eighteen patients had progressive disease, and tumor response could not be evaluated in one patient.
CONCLUSION: Oral BAY 43-9006 was well tolerated and appeared to provide some clinical benefits. Based on the results of this study, BAY 43-9006 at 400 mg bid continuous is recommended for ongoing and future studies.
