Abstract Text | Blocking both receptor and ligand of the vascular endothelial growth factor (receptor) VEGF(R) pathway might be feasible and increase antitumor activity. This phase I study investigated telatinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting VEGFR-2, combined with bevacizumab, in adults with solid tumors.Twenty-six patients were treated in successive cohorts with telatinib (twice-daily continuously, 450-900 mg) or bevacizumab (bi-weekly, starting dose 5 mg/kg). Safety, pharmacokinetics, endothelial (progenitor) cell (E(P)C)/growth factor kinetics and efficacy were assessed.Most frequent adverse events were pain, nausea, voice changes and fatigue. Five dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred: hypertension (cohort I and II), bowel perforation, lipase increase and atrial flutter (cohort III). Cumulative toxicity resulted in a bevacizumab dose reduction to 1 mg/kg (cohort III). Due to three DLTs (n = 14), this cohort represented the best-tolerated dose level. Bevacizumab effectively neutralized plasma VEGF even at 1 mg/kg. Twelve patients had stable disease (clinical benefit 46%). EPC and SDF-1α levels increased during monotherapy telatinib.Telatinib (450 mg b.i.d.) combined with bevacizumab (1 mg/kg bi-weekly) shows antitumor activity, but accumulating constitutional toxicity impedes long-term treatment of patients. Therefore, this combination will not be pursued in a phase II setting. |
