Abstract Text

N-Benzoyl staurosporine (PKC412) is a protein kinase C inhibitor with antitumor activity in laboratory models. We determined the toxicity of oral PKC412 administered daily for repeat cycles of 28 days.Thirty-two patients with advanced solid cancers were treated at seven dose levels (12.5 to 300 mg daily) for a total of 68 cycles.The most frequent treatment-related toxicities were nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea. At the two top dose levels (225 and 300 mg/d), 15 of 16 patients experienced nausea/vomiting (common toxicity criteria [CTC], version 1), grade 2 in nine of 16 and grade 3 in three of 16 patients; and six of 16 patients developed CTC grade 2 diarrhea. After 1 month of treatment, there were significant reductions in circulating lymphocyte (P <.02) and monocyte (P <.01) counts in patients receiving doses > or = 100 mg/d. Nevertheless, only two patients developed myelosuppression (both grade 2). Of two patients with progressive cholangiocarcinoma, one attained stable disease lasting 4.5 months and one a partial response lasting 4 months. There was a linear relationship between PKC412 dose and area under the curve (0-24 hours) and maximum plasma concentration with marked interpatient variability. The estimated median elimination half-life was 1.6 days (range, 0.9 to 4.0 days), and a metabolite with a median half-life of 36 days was detected. Steady-state PKC412 plasma levels at the top three dose cohorts (150 to 300 mg) were five to 10 times the cellular 50% inhibitory concentration for PKC412 of 0.2 to 0.7 micromol/L.PKC412 can be safely administered by chronic oral therapy, and 150 mg/d is suitable for phase II studies. The pharmacokinetics and lack of conventional toxicity indicate that pharmacodynamic measures may be additionally needed to optimize the drug dose and schedule.

Filtering

Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
Use simple literal full or partial string matches
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
