Phase 1 study of CPX-1, a fixed ratio formulation of irinotecan (IRI) and floxuridine (FLOX), in patients with advanced solid tumors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2014 Background: In vitro studies have shown that varying the ratio of individual agents in drug combinations can result in synergistic, additive or antagonistic activity against tumor cells. CPX-1 is a liposomal formulation of IRI and FLOX in a fixed 1:1 molar ratio which was selected as optimal in vitro and confirmed to be synergistic in vivo in preclinical tumor models. CPX-1 overcomes the dissimilar pharmacokinetics (PK) of the individual drugs, enables sustained maintenance of this ratio after IV administration, and was evaluated in a Phase I open-label, dose-escalation study. Methods: Starting dose was 30 U/m 2 (1 Unit of CPX-1 contains 1 mg IRI + 0.36 mg FLOX) given on day 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Dose escalation was by modified Fibonacci with 4 subjects/cohort. Eligibility included: ≥ 18 yo; advanced solid tumor; ECOG PS ≤ 2; adequate bone marrow/liver/renal function. PK analysis was done on day 1 and 15 of the first cycle. Results: 26 subjects (16M:10F), median age 54.5 y (21–72), all with prior therapy, enrolled in 6 cohorts with the 5th cohort expanded to 6 subjects. Diagnoses: 8 colorectal, 3 pancreatic, 3 ovarian, 2 breast, 2 gastric, 2 esophageal, 2 sarcomas, 1 renal cell, 1 prostate, 1 NSCLC and 1 sphenoid sinus. Response: 20 subjects evaluable: 2 confirmed PRs (NSCLC 8+ wks; Colon 13+ wks, in a patient with prior IRI exposure) and 13 with SD (8–24+wks). Safety: DLTs were observed at the 6 th dose level: 4 subjects with DLTs: 3 diarrhea (one resulting in death due to dehydration/ARF) and one neutropenia. Other possibly related grade 3 and 4 events included one each of: grade 3 diarrhea, grade 3 vomiting, grade 3 neutropenia, grade 3 fatigue, grade 3 compression fracture and arthralgia and pulmonary embolism grade 4. PK: In all 14 subjects analyzed to date the 1:1 molar ratio of IRI to FLOX was maintained for 24 hours and metabolites 5-FU and SN-38 were present in the plasma. Conclusions: CPX-1 represents a new approach to developing drug combinations in which drug ratios are pre-selected in vitro based on optimal antitumor activity and maintained systemically through pharmacokinetic control. Phase 2 studies are planned with a recommended dose of 210U/m 2 of CPX-1. [Table: see text]

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.
