A first-in-human Phase I trial of the oral p-STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 in patients with recurrent malignant glioma.

ABSTRACT: Aim: To ascertain the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum feasible dose (MFD) of WP1066 and p-STAT3 target engagement within recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Patients & methods: In a first-in-human open-label, single-center, single-arm 3 + 3 design Phase I clinical trial, eight patients were treated with WP1066 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Results: In the absence of significant toxicity, the MFD was identified to be 8 mg/kg. The most common adverse event was grade 1 nausea and diarrhea in 50% of patients. No treatment-related deaths occurred; 6 of 8 patients died from disease progression and one was lost to follow-up. Of 8 patients with radiographic follow-up, all had progressive disease. The longest response duration exceeded 3.25 month
