    Notes: Summary Mitoguazone is a unique chemotherapeutic agent whose activity is believed to result primarily from the competitive inhibition of S-adenosyl-methionine decarboxylase leading to a disruption in polyamine biosynthesis. Initial clinical trials demonstrated that the dose-limiting toxicities (mucositis and myelosuppression) of Mitoguazone were both dose and schedule dependent. Early pharmacokinetic studies of Mitoguazone in man revealed a prolonged half-life. Concurrent with a recent Phase II trial of Mitoguazone in patients with AIDS related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the single dose pharmacokinetics of Mitoguazone were characterized. Twelve patients received 600 mg/m2 of intravenous Mitoguazone over 30 minutes on an intermittent every 2 week schedule. Blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), pleural fluid and tissue samples were collected and analyzed by HPLC. Mitoguazone was cleared from the plasma triexponentially with a harmonic mean terminal half-life of 175 hours and a mean residence time of 192 hours. Peak plasma levels occurred immediately post-infusion, ranged from 6.47 to 42.8 μg/ml, and remained (for an extended period) well above the reported concentration for inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis. Plasma clearance averaged 4.73 l/hr/m2 with a relatively large apparent volume of distribution at steady-state of 1012 l/m2 indicating tissue sequestration. Renal excretion of unchanged Mitoguazone accounted for an average of 15.8% of the dose within 48 to 72 hours post-administration. Detectable levels of drug were present in random voided samples eight days post-dose. Mitoguazone levels in CSF ranged from 22 to 186 ng/ml post-dose with CSF/plasma ratios ranging from 0.6% to 7%. The pleural fluid/plasma ratio was approximately 1. Tissue levels of Mitoguazone were highest in the liver followed by lymph node, spleen and the brain.

    Notes: Summary The pharmacokinetics of bisantrene, 9,10-anthracenedicarboxaldehyde bis ((4,5-dihydro-1 H-imidazol-2-yl) hydrazone) dihydrochloride were evaluated during a Phase I clinical investigation. Bisantrene at doses of 20 to 280 mg/m2 was administered by variable infusion rates to nine patients with advanced metastatic cancer. Bisantrene's plasma clearance followed a triexponential pattern with a harmonic mean terminal half-life (t1/2 γ) of 26 h. The steady state volume of distribution (Vd ss ) was large, averaging 627 l/m2. Plasma clearance averaged 42.6±6.7 l/h/m2. The cumulative urinary excretion of bisantrene was 3.6±1.6% at 48 h.

    Notes: Summary A pharmacokinetic study of high dose intravenous melphalan, 180 mg/m2, was performed in eight patients. Plasma levels of melphalan declined in a biexponential fashion with a mean terminal half-life (t1/2β) of 61 min (range 40.3–132.8 min). Estimated peak concentrations ranged from 5.45 to 16.57 mcg/ml. The average volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) and clearance were 0.479 ± 0.164 1/kg and 6.73 ± 1.60 ml/min/kg, respectively. These kinetic parameters are similar to those reported from studies using lower doses of melphalan.

    Notes: Summary Dacarbazine (DTIC) is a chemotherapy drug which has antitumor activity at standard doses, exhibits a steep dose-response effect in vitro, and is associated with relatively few non-hematologic toxicities. These characteristics suggest a potential role for this drug in bone marrow transplant preparative regimens. To pursue this hypothesis, 16 patients with refractory solid tumors were enrolled in a phase I study of single agent DTIC to determine the dose of DTIC requiring bone marrow reinfusion and to define the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose when given with autologous bone marrow rescue. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated at the 4394 mg/m2 dose level. The marrow requiring dose was 2000 mg/m2 when given as a single intravenous (IV) infusion. The extramyeloid dose-limiting toxicity of DTIC was hypotension, with the maximum tolerated dose of DTIC being 3380 mg/m2 when given with bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Other toxicities were transient and tolerable. At 4394 mg/m2 of DTIC, plasma concentrations declined biexponentially with a terminal half-life of 3 hours. The mean clearance was 10.6 L/hr/m2 with a volume of distribution at steady state of 37.5 L/m2 and a mean maximum plasma concentration of 150 mcg/ml. One patient with melanoma developed a partial response of short duration after receiving 2600 mg/m2 of DTIC. Dacarbazine can be significantly dose escalated with an acceptable toxicity profile, when given with BMT. Future trials should focus on the addition of this drug to current BMT preparative regimens used for the treatment of patients with lymphoma.

    Notes: Abstract In this phase I study, terephthalamidine was administered as a 120-hour continuous infusion repeated every 21 days. Thirteen patients received 27 courses of terephthalamidine at four dose levels (14, 28, 46, and 70 mg/m2/day). Dose-limiting toxicity consisted of profound and intractable anorexia, weight loss and prostration in all patients. Toxicity was delayed and accompanied by hyponatremia and hypokalemia. No hematologic or other toxicity was documented. One patient with adenocarcinoma of the lung had a 40% decrease in mediastinal lymph nodes and resolution of a pleural effusion lasting 2 months. Pharmacokinetic analysis by HPLC was performed in all patients during their first course. The harmonic mean terminal half-life for terephthalamidine was 23 hours with a plasma clearance of 1.7 l/hr/m2. Both plasma concentrations achieved during infusion (r2 = 0.9) and area under the curve (AUC) (r2 = 0.8) were proportional to increase in dose (p 〈 0.002). Renal excretion accounted for 64% of the total cumulative dose, with an average renal clearance of 1.16 l/hr/m2. Due to the unacceptable toxicity seen at all doses with this schedule, no further studies are recommended unless the mechanism of toxicity is better understood and can be prevented.

    Notes: Summary Thirty-five patients with advanced refractory cancer were enrolled on this phase I study of menogaril administered orally every 4 weeks at dosages ranging from 85 mg/m2 to 625 mg/m2. An additional 12 patients received alternating oral and IV doses of menogaril (250 mg/m2 IV; 250–500 mg/m2 oral) with accompanying blood and urine sampling for pharmacokinetics analysis. Nausea and vomiting were the dose-limiting toxicities at the 625 mg/m2 dosage level; vomiting was inadequately relieved by prophylactic antiemetics at this dosage level. Other toxicities included sporadic leukopenia at all dosage levels; at dosages of 500 mg/m2 and 625 mg/m2, leukopenia 〈 3000/μl occurred in 7 of 24 patients. Anemia and thrombocytopenia were much less frequent toxicities. Among the patients receiving IV menogaril, peripheral vein phlebitis, leukopenia and anemia were the predominant toxicities. No antitumor responses were observed, yet one patient with nonsmall cell lung cancer experienced a 30% reduction in metastatic tumor nodules. For the patients receiving alternating oral and IV menogaril, comparative pharmacokinetic analyses were performed by HPLC. After oral administration, maximum plasma concentrations were achieved in an average of 6 hours; maximum plasma concentrations were less than one-quarter of those achieved after intravenous administration. The harmonic mean (±SD) terminal disposition half-life after oral dosing was 29.3 ±9.2 hours; mean systemic bioavailability was 33.6±10.5% after oral dosing. Forty-eight hours after an oral dose, mean cumulative urinary excretions of menogaril and the primary metabolite, N-demethylmenogaril, were 4.00±0.96% and 0.44±0.16%, respectively. Because of the poor tolerance of oral menogaril and minimal evidence of biological activity, this schedule of drug administration is not recommended for phase II evaluation. Based on this and other published studies of oral menogaril, frequent chronic low-intermediate dosages of the drug may be given orally with potentially better tolerance and antitumor activity.

    Notes: Abstract Brequinar (DUP 785; NSC 368390) is a quinoline carboxylic acid derivative that inhibits pyrimidine synthesis at the level of dihydro-orotate dehydrogenase and revealed synergy with cisplatin in preclinical models. In this study investigating the pharmacokinetic and toxicity of brequinar in combination with cisplatin, patients were initially treated with weekly brequinar, in combination with an every-three-week administration of cisplatin. Due to toxicity, the schedule was modified to a 28-day cycle with brequinar given on days 1, 8, 15, and cisplatin on day 1. A total of 24 patients (16 male, 8 female; median age 57; median performance status 1) received 69 courses of therapy. Six dose levels were explored, with cisplatin/ brequinar doses, respectively, of 50/500, 50/650, 50/860, 60/860, 75/650, and 75/860 mg/m2. The serum concentration versus time curves for brequinar were biphasic. A comparison of the pharmacokinetic results after the first and third doses of brequinar indicate that the presence of 50, 60, and 75 mg/m2cisplatin did not change the protein binding and the pharmacokinetics of brequinar in any of the three brequinar-dose groups. Total cisplatin plasma pharmacokinetic followed a triphasic-shape curve and unbound cisplatin decayed at a very rapid rate. Since pharmacokinetic parameters for total cisplatin in this study were similar to those reported in the literature, the presence of brequinar is unlikely to alter the pharmacokinetics of cisplatin. Main dose-limiting toxicities included myelosuppression (including neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) and mucositis. Cisplatin/brequinar doses of 50/500, 50/650, 50/860, 60/860, 75/650, and 75/860 mg/m2, were associated with dose limiting toxicity in 0/3, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 2/4, 2/5, and 4/6 patients, respectively. This study shows that co-administration of brequinar and cisplatin does not affect the pharmacokinetic properties of either drug and that the MTDs of cisplatin/brequinar combinations are 60/860 mg/m2 or 75/650 mg/m2. From this study, we conclude that full dose of 75 mg/m2 cisplatin (day 1) can be administered with 650 mg/m2 brequinar (days 1, 8 and 15) without significant modifications of individual drug pharmacokinetic parameters.
