Phase I and pharmacokinetic study of dacomitinib (PF-00299804), an oral irreversible, small molecule inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor-1, -2, and -4 tyrosine kinases, in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dacomitinib (PF-00299804) is an oral, irreversible, small molecule inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor-1, -2, and -4 tyrosine kinases.

Methods

This phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00783328) primarily evaluated the safety and tolerability of dacomitinib by dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and determined the clinically recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors. Dacomitinib was administered orally at three dose levels (15, 30, or 45 mg once daily [QD]). Patients initially received a single dose, and after 9 days of follow-up, continuously QD in 21-day cycles. Endpoints included pharmacokinetics (PK) and antitumor activity.

Results

Thirteen patients were assigned to the three
