A phase I, first-in-human trial of KO-947, an ERK1/2 inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

KO-947, a potent, intravenously administered, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitor, has demonstrated activity in preclinical models. This phase I trial of KO-947 evaluated maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, and pharmacokinetics in patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors.

Materials and methods

This multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study evaluated KO-947 0.45-11.3 mg/kg in three schedules. Schedules 1 (0.45-5.4 mg/kg, 1- to 2-hour infusion) and 2 (4.8-9.6 mg/kg, 4-hour infusion) were administered once weekly on a 28-day cycle. Schedule 3 (3.6-11.3 mg/kg, 4-hour infusion) was administered on days 1, 4, and 8 (and on days 11 and 15 for two patients) on a 21-day cycle. The primary objective was determination of MTD and/or recommended
