A phase I study of a second generation antisense oligonucleotide to clusterin (OGX-011) in combination with docetaxel: NCIC CTG IND.154
Bibliographic record
Abstract
3085 Background: The clusterin gene encodes a cytoprotective chaperone protein that promotes cell survival, is expressed in a variety of cancers, and increases in response to apoptotic stimuli. OGX-011 (OGX, Oncogenex Technologies Inc) is a 2’methoxyethyl antisense complimentary to clusterin mRNA that inhibits expression with a tissue t1/2 >7 days in pre-clinical studies. A phase I trial of OGX in men prior to prostatectomy identified biologically active doses of 480 and 640mg as determined by clusterin suppression effects. The objective of this phase I study was to define a phase II dose of OGX in combination with docetaxel. Methods: The study was conducted at 3 centers in Canada. Patients (pts) with cancers known from the literature to express clusterin were eligible. OGX was given by 2 hr IV infusion at fixed doses starting at 40mg weekly after loading on days 1, 3, and 5. Docetaxel was given IV 30 mg/m2/week (w) for 5 out of 6w or 75 mg/m2 every 3w. Serial samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and serum were assessed for clusterin as were accessible malignant tissues. Results: 26 pts (9 prostate, 8 ovary, 3 NSCLC, 4 renal, 1 breast and other) have been enrolled to 6 cohorts with doses of OGX up to 640mg delivered with weekly docetaxel. 24 pts are evaluable for toxicity. Toxicity was typical for docetaxel with 3 pts having grade 3 treatment related toxicity (allergic, gastrointestinal, fatigue). OGX attributable adverse events were grade 1/2, including fevers, rigors, fatigue and transient AST and ALT elevations. OGX AUC and CMAX increased linearly with dose with no apparent effect on docetaxel pharmacokinetics. Serial baseline serum clusterin levels were consistent, but by treatment day 8 decreased in 3/3 pts by a mean of 52% (SD=26%) at the 640 mg dose level. Of 18 pts with measurable disease, there has been 1 partial response and 5 patients with stable disease. Conclusions: OGX can be given at biologically active doses with standard doses of weekly docetaxel. Accrual continues and additional cohorts are evaluating OGX with docetaxel q3w. Phase II trials of this combination are planned in pts with breast and prostate cancer. Supported by a grant from the NCIC and a grant in aid from Aventis Pharma.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
