Pralatrexate injection combined with CHOP for treatment of PTCL: results from the Fol-CHOP dose-finding phase 1 trial.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Pralatrexate is a folate antagonist that selectively enters cells expressing reduced folate carrier type 1 and competitively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, leading to interruption of RNA synthesis, DNA replication, and apoptosis. This phase 1 study was conducted to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pralatrexate in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) regimen (part 1) and the response and pharmacokinetics of 6 cycles of this combination (CHOP + Folotyn 30 mg/m2 [Fol-CHOP]) in patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). In part 1, on days 1 and 8 of each cycle, patients were treated with 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 mg/m2 of pralatrexate in combination with CHOP, per dose escalation, in 5 sequential co
