Phase I study of ipilimumab in phased combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in Japanese patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ipilimumab is an antibody that targets the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 to potentiate an antitumor response. Adding ipilimumab 10 mg/kg to paclitaxel (PTX) and carboplatin (CBDCA) in a phased schedule improved progression-free survival in a phase II non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) study.

Methods

This dose-escalating, phase I study was designed to identify the recommended dose of ipilimumab (3 or 10 mg/kg) by evaluating dose-limiting toxicity (DLT; Cycles 3 and 4) in phased combination with PTX (175 mg/m(2)) and CBDCA (area under the curve = 6) in Japanese patients with advanced NSCLC. Treatment was administered intravenously every 3 weeks initially, followed by some eligible patients receiving maintenance ipilimumab once every 12 weeks. Additional endpoints
