Dose escalation phase of a phase I/II study of GTI-2501, an antisense to the R1 subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) and docetaxel in patients with metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2078 Background: GTI-2501 (GTI) is a 20-mer oligonucleotide that is complementary to the R1 subunit of the RNR mRNA. The R1 protein is overexpressed in multiple tumour cell lines. GTI displays anti-tumour activity against prostate cancer xenografts in mice as a single agent and in combination with mitoxantrone. GTI also adds to the anti-tumour efficacy of taxanes in breast cancer xenografts in mice. A Phase 1 study of a 14 day continuous infusion of GTI in patients with solid tumours showed no dose limiting toxicities at doses up to 210.9 mg/m2/day. The objective of this dose escalation phase of a phase I/II study was to define a safe phase II dose of GTI in combination with docetaxel (D) in men with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). Methods: Men with metastatic HRPC were enrolled at 3 centres in Canada. GTI was given as a 14d continuous IV infusion every 21d with D IV infusion started 2 hrs prior to the end of the GTI infusion. Planned dose escalation cohorts are summarized in table . Results: 13 men were enrolled to the 3 cohorts. All patients are evaluable for toxicity. There was one possible DLT - an episode of grade 4 neutropenia reported at cycle 2 day 1 in the highest dose cohort - but the duration of neutropenia could not be confirmed. 3 additional patients were accrued to that cohort with no DLTs. The most common gr 3/4 toxicity was attributable to D (10 pts with Gr 3/4 neutropenia). The observed incidence of Gr 3/4 neutropenia was expected since patients had weekly CBCs. Only 1 patient had febrile neutropenia. 11 pts had fatigue (4 Gr 3) related to D and /or GTI. Other GTI attributable adverse events were Gr 1/2 including transient rises in transaminases and PTT. The pharmacokinetic data which is summarized in the table will be presented in full at the meeting. Conclusions: GTI can be given safely at its highest planned dose with standard doses of D. A Phase II evaluation of the GTI + D combination is planned for men with HRPC. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
