Abstract:
Background: Laboratory studies have demonstrated that inhibition of the Hsp90 chaperone protein results in selective destruction of the mutated KIT kinase in human GIST cell lines across multiple genotypes which confer TKI resistance. Other histopathologic subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) are also sensitive in vitro. To test this clinically, we conducted a phase I trial of IPI-504, a water-soluble Hsp90 inhibitor, for patients (pts) with metastatic, TKI-resistant GIST or metastatic STS. Methods: Pts with metastatic, TKI-resistant GIST or advanced/metastatic STS received IPI-504 in 21 day cycles (IV in 250 cc of normal saline over 30 min) either twice weekly for 2 weeks followed by 1 week off treatment (Schedule A) or twice weekly continuously for 3 weeks (Schedule B). Serial monitoring with 18FDG-PET imaging at baseline, day 11, and day 21, as well as PK profiling of IPI-504 and its major active metabolites (17-AAG and 17-AG) were performed. Results: 54 pts (38 GIST; 16 STS) have been entered at 5 dose levels (90 mg/m2 IPI-504 [n=6], 150 [6], 225 [9], 300 [3], 400 [23] 500 [7]). The GIST pts had progressed despite prior imatinib and sunitinib in 100% and 95% respectively, as well as other agents in 38%. 45/54 pts received Schedule A. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 400 mg/m2 on Schedule A based on 2 DLTs (G3 headache, G3 myalgia) observed at the 500 mg/m2 dose level. In the 18 GIST pts assessed by PET, 22% had a PET partial response and an additional 66% had stable disease according to the EORTC PET response criteria. Although no RECIST- defined responses were observed, 29/37 (78%) evaluable pts had a best response of SD. Conclusions: IPI-504 has been well-tolerated overall and shows promising early evidence of activity in the treatment of pts with TKI-resistant GIST. The MTD for twice-weekly IPI-504 for 2 weeks with 1 week off treatment is 400 mg/m2; expansion of this cohort is ongoing. Targeting Hsp90 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with metastatic GIST.
